Hi, welcome to day 4
of 10 Days of Prayer,
00:00:14.34\00:00:17.65
a prayer program
from our friends at
00:00:17.68\00:00:19.78
revivalandreformation.org.
00:00:19.81\00:00:22.52
Acts 1:4-5 says,
00:00:22.55\00:00:24.62
"And while
staying with the apostles,
00:00:24.65\00:00:26.62
Jesus ordered them not
to depart from Jerusalem,
00:00:26.65\00:00:29.32
but to wait for the
promise of the Father,
00:00:29.36\00:00:31.63
which He said, You
have heard from Me,
00:00:31.66\00:00:33.93
'For John baptized with water,
00:00:33.96\00:00:35.86
but you will be
baptized with the Holy Spirit,
00:00:35.90\00:00:38.77
not many days from now.'"
00:00:38.80\00:00:40.70
Listen to this testimony.
00:00:40.74\00:00:43.14
I visited a man
who was passing away
00:00:43.17\00:00:45.11
from an incurable disease.
00:00:45.14\00:00:47.01
I prayed and
tried to encourage him
00:00:47.04\00:00:49.01
with God's love and mercy.
00:00:49.04\00:00:50.68
But when I left his home,
00:00:50.71\00:00:52.05
I was struck with how powerless
00:00:52.08\00:00:53.85
I felt in this situation,
00:00:53.88\00:00:55.62
and how powerless so
many Christians seem to be.
00:00:55.65\00:00:59.05
As I compared my life
00:00:59.09\00:01:00.62
and the lives of
other Christians,
00:01:00.66\00:01:02.22
with the New
Testament Christians,
00:01:02.26\00:01:04.29
the contrast was shocking.
00:01:04.33\00:01:06.33
As a result of that visit,
00:01:06.36\00:01:07.73
I determined to
thoroughly study the subject
00:01:07.76\00:01:09.93
of the Holy Spirit in the Bible
00:01:09.96\00:01:11.87
In my Bible study,
00:01:11.90\00:01:13.23
I discovered the
baptism of the Holy Spirit.
00:01:13.27\00:01:15.67
That experience
changed the lives of Peter,
00:01:15.70\00:01:18.21
Paul and everyone else
00:01:18.24\00:01:19.57
who received God's
Spirit in fullness.
00:01:19.61\00:01:22.24
Even Jesus was
empowered by the Holy Spirit.
00:01:22.28\00:01:25.38
Until the Holy Spirit
descended upon Him as a dove,
00:01:25.41\00:01:28.35
He had remained in
the carpenter's shop.
00:01:28.38\00:01:30.69
After the Spirit came upon Him,
00:01:30.72\00:01:32.29
Jesus did the
work of the Messiah.
00:01:32.32\00:01:35.12
In Bible stories, we always find
00:01:35.16\00:01:37.76
some evidence indicating that
the power of the Holy Spirit
00:01:37.79\00:01:40.63
has been bestowed.
00:01:40.66\00:01:42.43
On a Friday night, around 10 pm,
00:01:42.46\00:01:45.30
our eight year old
daughter called out for mommy.
00:01:45.33\00:01:48.00
As my wife went to our daughter,
00:01:48.04\00:01:50.01
I decided to go
into my office to pray.
00:01:50.04\00:01:52.57
As I prayed, I
sensed the divine presence
00:01:52.61\00:01:55.31
of Jesus enter the room.
00:01:55.34\00:01:57.08
I began to speak to the
Lord with great fervency,
00:01:57.11\00:01:59.71
and a hunger for His
Spirit's presence in my life.
00:01:59.75\00:02:02.85
Soon I saw Jesus at
the door of my church,
00:02:02.88\00:02:05.52
lovingly placing
His nail pierced hand
00:02:05.55\00:02:08.26
on the shoulder of
each church member,
00:02:08.29\00:02:10.49
with a gracious
welcoming expression.
00:02:10.53\00:02:13.19
Jesus asked me, "Do
you love My people?"
00:02:13.23\00:02:16.90
I could say, I did love them.
00:02:16.93\00:02:18.87
But I had to
admit, a few of them
00:02:18.90\00:02:20.64
were particularly hard to love.
00:02:20.67\00:02:22.87
The tears began to
flow as I confessed my sin.
00:02:22.90\00:02:26.31
Then I saw the nail
pierced feet of Jesus
00:02:26.34\00:02:28.64
standing at the pulpit
where I preached each week.
00:02:28.68\00:02:31.78
Jesus said, "I died
00:02:31.81\00:02:33.88
so that I may forgive and
save the people of this world.
00:02:33.92\00:02:37.39
Are you preaching
the gospel each week
00:02:37.42\00:02:39.59
with passion for lost souls?"
00:02:39.62\00:02:42.32
I could say it was my
desire to preach the gospel
00:02:42.36\00:02:44.56
with great
urgency to save the lost,
00:02:44.59\00:02:46.43
but I felt so
unworthy in His presence.
00:02:46.46\00:02:49.70
The tears flowed as I
confessed my sins to Jesus.
00:02:49.73\00:02:53.27
Then I saw the crown of thorns
00:02:53.30\00:02:55.34
forced down on to His brow.
00:02:55.37\00:02:57.61
I heard Jesus
say, "I humbled Myself
00:02:57.64\00:03:00.54
even unto the
death of the cross,
00:03:00.58\00:03:02.74
do you seek praise from men?"
00:03:02.78\00:03:05.61
I could say, "I did not
want the praise of men."
00:03:05.65\00:03:07.92
But I tearfully
admitted I struggled with pride.
00:03:07.95\00:03:10.85
I felt completely unworthy
00:03:10.89\00:03:12.82
and
unacceptable in His presence.
00:03:12.85\00:03:14.59
And the tears
flowed even more profusely.
00:03:14.62\00:03:17.29
Suddenly Jesus
pulled aside His robe
00:03:17.33\00:03:19.79
and I saw His side
00:03:19.83\00:03:21.53
where the spear had pierced Him.
00:03:21.56\00:03:23.50
He said, "Those who come to
Me, I will never cast away."
00:03:23.53\00:03:27.54
Then I felt the complete
love and acceptance of the Lord
00:03:27.57\00:03:30.41
as I had never felt it before.
00:03:30.44\00:03:32.31
I knew my sins were forgiven,
00:03:32.34\00:03:34.28
and I knew I
was accepted by Him.
00:03:34.31\00:03:36.75
I was basking in that revelation
00:03:36.78\00:03:38.71
when I heard my wife
starting down the stairs.
00:03:38.75\00:03:41.28
I looked at the clock,
it was 12 o'clock midnight,
00:03:41.32\00:03:44.25
two hours had
seemed like only minutes.
00:03:44.29\00:03:47.06
I wasn't ready to talk
about what had happened.
00:03:47.09\00:03:49.39
So I went back to bed
and turn my back to the door,
00:03:49.42\00:03:52.06
so my wife could
not see me awake.
00:03:52.09\00:03:54.26
Enter the room, she
asked, "What happened to you?"
00:03:54.30\00:03:57.57
I said, "What do you mean?"
00:03:57.60\00:03:59.30
She said, "I know
something happened to you,
00:03:59.33\00:04:01.00
I can tell.
00:04:01.04\00:04:02.37
Now what happened?"
00:04:02.40\00:04:03.74
So I told her everything
00:04:03.77\00:04:05.11
and my wife immediately went out
00:04:05.14\00:04:06.47
to the living room
to pray by herself.
00:04:06.51\00:04:08.71
I could hear her
calling out to God,
00:04:08.74\00:04:10.65
that she would also be blessed.
00:04:10.68\00:04:12.98
The next Sabbath I
felt the power of God.
00:04:13.01\00:04:15.32
As I preached my sermon,
00:04:15.35\00:04:16.69
several people made
decisions for Christ that day.
00:04:16.72\00:04:19.62
And afterward, a man asked,
00:04:19.65\00:04:21.32
"Pastor, did something
happen to you last night?"
00:04:21.36\00:04:24.99
Amazed, I said,
"Why would you ask that?"
00:04:25.03\00:04:27.73
He said, "I know something
00:04:27.76\00:04:29.33
must have
happened to you last night,
00:04:29.36\00:04:30.90
I could see a
glow on your face."
00:04:30.93\00:04:34.37
Then I shared what
had happened and he said,
00:04:34.40\00:04:36.04
"Surely, the
Lord has visited you."
00:04:36.07\00:04:38.64
That year 37 people
gave their lives to Jesus.
00:04:38.67\00:04:42.34
And in the years
since that night,
00:04:42.38\00:04:44.08
hundreds of people have
made decisions for Christ.
00:04:44.11\00:04:47.08
May the Lord forever be praised.
00:04:47.12\00:04:51.55
In Acts 4:31, we read,
"And when they had prayed,
00:04:51.59\00:04:55.76
the place where they were
assembled together was shaken,
00:04:55.79\00:04:59.13
and they were all
filled with the Holy Spirit,
00:04:59.16\00:05:01.66
and they spoke the
word of God with boldness."
00:05:01.70\00:05:03.77
You see, the early
church received powers,
00:05:03.80\00:05:05.97
they prayed for God's
Spirit to come upon them.
00:05:06.00\00:05:08.97
And Luke 11:11-13 say,
00:05:09.00\00:05:12.07
"If a son asks for bread
from any father among you,
00:05:12.11\00:05:15.74
will he give him a stone?
00:05:15.78\00:05:17.38
Or if he asks for a fish,
00:05:17.41\00:05:18.75
will he give him a
serpent instead of a fish?
00:05:18.78\00:05:21.32
Or if he asks for an egg,
will he give him a scorpion?
00:05:21.35\00:05:24.99
If you then, being evil,
00:05:25.02\00:05:26.65
know how to give good
gifts to your children,
00:05:26.69\00:05:28.99
how much more will
your heavenly Father
00:05:29.02\00:05:30.89
give the Holy Spirit
to those who ask Him!"
00:05:30.93\00:05:33.96
The baptism of the Holy Spirit
is given to those who seek Him
00:05:34.00\00:05:38.13
through prayer.
00:05:38.17\00:05:40.10
Spirit of the Living God
00:05:49.91\00:05:56.28
Fall afresh on me
00:05:56.32\00:06:03.32
Spirit of the Living God
00:06:03.36\00:06:10.93
Fall afresh on me
00:06:10.97\00:06:14.90
Melt me, mold me
00:06:19.17\00:06:24.15
Fill me, please use me
00:06:24.18\00:06:31.45
Spirit of the Living God
00:06:31.49\00:06:39.26
Fall afresh on me
00:06:39.29\00:06:43.80
Anointing,
00:06:47.54\00:06:51.91
Fall on me
00:06:51.94\00:06:55.91
Anointing,
00:06:55.94\00:06:59.68
Fall on me
00:06:59.71\00:07:03.15
Let the power of the Holy Ghost
00:07:03.18\00:07:07.86
Fall on me
00:07:07.89\00:07:12.89
Anointing, fall on me
00:07:12.93\00:07:18.23
Join me now for
a time of prayer.
00:07:22.10\00:07:26.57
Dear Father, I ask that
You would please baptize me
00:07:26.61\00:07:30.45
in the Holy Spirit, that
I may live in love for You
00:07:30.48\00:07:35.25
with power and with success.
00:07:35.28\00:07:40.29
It's my great
desire, Lord Jesus,
00:07:40.32\00:07:42.72
that I may represent
You well to this world.
00:07:42.76\00:07:47.56
So please prepare my
heart to receive the Holy Spirit
00:07:47.60\00:07:51.23
and share Your love
with the people in my life.
00:07:51.27\00:07:54.70
God, please guide
me into all truth,
00:07:58.34\00:08:00.48
so that I may
always do those things
00:08:00.51\00:08:02.54
that are pleasing in Your sight.
00:08:02.58\00:08:07.22
Lord, let your
Holy Spirit reveal to me
00:08:07.25\00:08:10.25
what You want me to know
and what You want me to share.
00:08:10.29\00:08:15.49
Let my
convictions and my burdens
00:08:15.52\00:08:19.06
come from Your heart
00:08:19.09\00:08:20.43
and not from my
own selfish tendencies.
00:08:20.46\00:08:22.30
Lord, we pray
that our loved ones
00:08:28.80\00:08:30.51
who have left the
faith will remember
00:08:30.54\00:08:33.31
what it was like to
be in fellowship with You
00:08:33.34\00:08:37.38
and will long to
be reunited with You.
00:08:37.41\00:08:42.88
Lord, help them
sense and accept Your love
00:08:42.92\00:08:45.22
and forgiveness.
00:08:45.25\00:08:46.59
Lord, we ask for Your protection
00:08:58.80\00:09:00.50
over missionaries
00:09:00.54\00:09:01.87
who are working
in dangerous places.
00:09:01.90\00:09:03.74
We can't ask enough
for their protection daily.
00:09:08.44\00:09:12.71
We pray for the
16 million people
00:09:15.75\00:09:17.79
in the six least reached cities
of the South Pacific division.
00:09:17.82\00:09:22.92
We pray for the daily baptism
of the Holy Spirit on members
00:09:22.96\00:09:25.96
as they reach out and
love to the unreached.
00:09:25.99\00:09:31.30
We pray for the Holy
Spirit to help us to know
00:09:31.33\00:09:34.24
how we should reach,
00:09:34.27\00:09:36.00
how we can reach
the 406 million people
00:09:36.04\00:09:40.24
in the 105 least reached cities
00:09:40.28\00:09:42.71
of Northern Asia
Pacific division.
00:09:42.74\00:09:45.35
Oh, God, so many
people need to know,
00:09:45.38\00:09:47.95
so many people need to
hear that You love them
00:09:47.98\00:09:51.55
and that You
care and that You died
00:09:51.59\00:09:54.39
to save them.
00:09:54.42\00:09:55.76
Lord, I pray
that You would bless
00:09:59.53\00:10:01.36
those who are serving
as chaplains in prisons
00:10:01.40\00:10:05.37
around the world.
00:10:05.40\00:10:09.40
God, I pray that You
would give them wisdom
00:10:09.44\00:10:11.24
and grace to
shepherd the prisoners,
00:10:11.27\00:10:16.51
Lord, in those
unique situations.
00:10:16.54\00:10:18.05
Thank You for calling each of us
00:10:23.28\00:10:26.49
to different ministries.
00:10:26.52\00:10:28.89
Thank You for helping us
00:10:28.92\00:10:30.26
to remember
00:10:30.29\00:10:32.69
that the responsibility is mine.
00:10:32.73\00:10:34.90
It's a personal responsibility,
00:10:34.93\00:10:39.70
to visit those in prison,
00:10:39.73\00:10:44.64
to visit those in the hospital,
00:10:44.67\00:10:47.08
to feed the hungry.
00:10:50.48\00:10:51.81
Father, I lift up those
who are bound by addiction
00:11:00.89\00:11:04.86
that they would
surrender all to You.
00:11:04.89\00:11:06.83
I bring those to
You, who need to put
00:11:10.70\00:11:12.63
into practice a
healthy lifestyle.
00:11:12.67\00:11:16.50
Holy Spirit, I ask
to give us the desire
00:11:16.54\00:11:19.27
for the things that build us up,
00:11:19.31\00:11:20.98
instead of the
things that tear us down,
00:11:21.01\00:11:23.85
those destructive habits.
00:11:23.88\00:11:27.88
God cause us to realize that
00:11:27.92\00:11:29.68
we have the victory through You.
00:11:29.72\00:11:31.79
You won the war at Calvary.
00:11:31.82\00:11:35.79
Help us to lay
hold of that victory.
00:11:35.82\00:11:37.79
God, I pray for those
who are under demonic attack
00:11:46.57\00:11:49.10
and under the harassment
00:11:52.54\00:11:56.38
of the devil.
00:11:56.41\00:11:58.98
Jesus, only You can break
00:11:59.01\00:12:00.58
the dark and heavy
chains of the enemy.
00:12:00.62\00:12:05.45
Jesus, only You are the way,
00:12:05.49\00:12:09.62
and only You are
the truth and the life.
00:12:09.66\00:12:14.20
Jesus, break the chains.
00:12:14.23\00:12:18.53
Father, for those
who are going through
00:12:25.11\00:12:26.88
severe health issues.
00:12:26.91\00:12:31.61
Father, fill us with compassion,
00:12:31.65\00:12:34.38
for those who need healing, God,
00:12:34.42\00:12:37.95
and grant Your healing to them.
00:12:37.99\00:12:42.56
Those who are in hospitals,
00:12:42.59\00:12:44.83
for those who are
under hospice care,
00:12:44.86\00:12:47.63
I ask for peace and for healing.
00:12:47.66\00:12:50.70
For the family members,
00:12:55.44\00:12:57.21
who have to patiently standby
00:12:57.24\00:13:01.61
waiting for Your healing.
00:13:01.64\00:13:04.18
God, give them grace and mercy.
00:13:07.75\00:13:12.89
Lord, we all have family members
00:13:12.92\00:13:14.36
that need a touch from You.
00:13:14.39\00:13:17.13
I thank You for caring
00:13:17.16\00:13:19.89
and for meeting
those individual needs.
00:13:19.93\00:13:24.73
For parents who have trouble
disciplining their children,
00:13:24.77\00:13:27.67
for couples dating that
shouldn't be dating due to,
00:13:27.70\00:13:32.04
it being a
dysfunctional relationship.
00:13:32.07\00:13:36.85
God, so many
scenarios and situations,
00:13:36.88\00:13:39.18
that we need Your Holy Spirit,
00:13:39.21\00:13:41.05
Lord, to
intervene and supply wisdom
00:13:41.08\00:13:45.22
that only comes from You.
00:13:45.25\00:13:48.62
Only comes from You, God.
00:13:48.66\00:13:51.39
So help us to
seek the Holy Spirit,
00:13:51.43\00:13:53.83
in everything we do.
00:13:53.86\00:13:55.26
Anointing,
00:13:59.93\00:14:04.01
Fall on me
00:14:04.04\00:14:08.04
Anointing,
00:14:08.08\00:14:12.11
Fall on me
00:14:12.15\00:14:16.25
Let the power of the Holy Ghost
00:14:16.28\00:14:21.16
Fall on me
00:14:21.19\00:14:26.93
Anointing, fall on me
00:14:26.96\00:14:31.03
Lord, I lift up to those to You,
00:14:45.91\00:14:48.42
those who are weak in the faith,
00:14:48.45\00:14:51.62
those who fall away too easily.
00:14:51.65\00:14:55.32
God, I ask that
You will give them
00:14:55.36\00:14:56.73
a hunger and a
thirst for righteousness,
00:14:56.76\00:15:00.66
and for Your Holy Word.
00:15:00.70\00:15:04.83
Lord, Your Word says,
00:15:04.87\00:15:06.20
"If we will hunger and thirst,
00:15:06.23\00:15:08.40
we will be filled."
00:15:08.44\00:15:11.31
So help them to lay
hold of Your promises,
00:15:11.34\00:15:13.38
and to rise up to be
great witnesses for You.
00:15:13.41\00:15:16.61
Lord, I pray for
Christian ministries
00:15:21.48\00:15:23.18
around the world.
00:15:23.22\00:15:25.99
There's radio and television,
internet, literature.
00:15:26.02\00:15:32.93
All the various formats God
00:15:32.96\00:15:34.83
that You have
00:15:34.86\00:15:36.20
blessed man to invent.
00:15:39.53\00:15:41.27
Lord, Your
people are everywhere.
00:15:44.84\00:15:47.01
And where I can't
go, someone else can go.
00:15:47.04\00:15:50.65
Holy Spirit, please bless.
00:15:50.68\00:15:53.15
And use the different sources
00:15:53.18\00:15:55.08
of the gospel to
accomplish Your will.
00:15:55.12\00:15:57.02
And, Father, here at 3ABN,
00:16:04.89\00:16:09.03
there are people
00:16:09.06\00:16:10.40
who have called
in with requests.
00:16:10.43\00:16:12.67
They need to hear from You, God.
00:16:12.70\00:16:16.74
So I lift up those needs to You.
00:16:16.77\00:16:23.31
I bring before you Ray,
00:16:23.35\00:16:26.82
who has been diagnosed
00:16:26.85\00:16:28.18
with prostate cancer
00:16:28.22\00:16:31.05
and type 2 diabetes.
00:16:31.09\00:16:35.62
God grant him healing.
00:16:35.66\00:16:41.43
Dee is requesting
prayer for her husband
00:16:41.46\00:16:44.17
and her children
that they will all have
00:16:44.20\00:16:46.74
a closer walk with You.
00:16:46.77\00:16:48.10
God, I'm asking
prayer for Darren,
00:16:53.81\00:16:58.51
and his daughter-in-law Nikki.
00:16:58.55\00:17:02.48
Nikki is donating one
of her kidneys to Darren.
00:17:02.52\00:17:04.89
What a wonderful gift.
00:17:08.92\00:17:13.60
Thank You for the ways
that You answer prayer, Lord.
00:17:13.63\00:17:16.03
Prayer is asked for a
family, that God would step in
00:17:21.57\00:17:26.71
and heal the marriage,
00:17:26.74\00:17:28.08
and guide them in the right way
00:17:31.45\00:17:33.11
of raising their family.
00:17:33.15\00:17:35.55
For the many
people who simply sense
00:17:39.32\00:17:43.89
needing You,
God, in their lives.
00:17:43.93\00:17:46.09
Lord, that's a
great place to be.
00:17:51.13\00:17:53.80
Not necessarily to need,
but to sense that we need You.
00:17:53.84\00:17:59.41
So, Lord, I ask
that You would be
00:18:04.81\00:18:06.45
near to them, God.
00:18:06.48\00:18:07.82
All that I am
00:18:19.19\00:18:22.56
All that I have
00:18:22.60\00:18:25.37
I lay them down before You,
00:18:25.40\00:18:29.34
O Lord All my regrets,
00:18:29.37\00:18:35.34
All my acclaims
00:18:35.38\00:18:38.48
The joy and the pain
00:18:38.51\00:18:41.62
I'm making them Yours
00:18:41.65\00:18:44.29
Lord, I offer my life to You
00:18:47.32\00:18:52.29
Everything I've been through
00:18:52.33\00:18:57.63
Use it for Your glory
00:18:57.67\00:19:01.17
Lord, I offer my days to You
00:19:01.20\00:19:06.34
Lifting my praise to You
00:19:06.37\00:19:11.85
As a pleasing sacrifice
00:19:11.88\00:19:15.62
Lord, I offer You my life
00:19:19.15\00:19:23.32
Things in the past
00:19:36.37\00:19:39.77
Things yet unseen
00:19:39.81\00:19:43.18
Wishes and dreams
00:19:43.21\00:19:44.91
That are yet to come true
00:19:44.95\00:19:49.55
All of my hopes
00:19:49.58\00:19:52.62
And all of my plans
00:19:52.65\00:19:55.99
My heart and my hands
00:19:56.02\00:19:58.93
Are lifted to You
00:19:58.96\00:20:04.43
Lord, I offer my life to You
00:20:04.47\00:20:09.50
Everything I've been through
00:20:09.54\00:20:13.91
Lord, use it for Your glory
00:20:13.94\00:20:17.91
Lord, I offer my days to You
00:20:17.95\00:20:22.68
Lifting my praise to You
00:20:22.72\00:20:27.89
As a pleasing sacrifice
00:20:27.92\00:20:31.66
Lord, I offer You my life
00:20:35.33\00:20:40.87
And, Lord, I
offer You my thanks.
00:20:47.18\00:20:51.25
I come to You
with a grateful heart,
00:20:51.28\00:20:55.02
and a thankful heart.
00:20:55.05\00:20:56.85
And I just want
to lift up my voice
00:20:56.89\00:20:58.69
and praise to
Your glorious name,
00:20:58.72\00:21:02.72
for all of Your goodness
and loving kindness to me.
00:21:02.76\00:21:07.60
Thank You for Jesus, and
for my eternal salvation.
00:21:07.63\00:21:11.63
Thank You for
hearing my prayers, God.
00:21:11.67\00:21:14.07
Thank You for
answering my prayers.
00:21:14.10\00:21:19.27
Thank You for my
life, for all the joys.
00:21:19.31\00:21:22.04
For friends and
family, for home and provision.
00:21:25.08\00:21:29.25
Not a day goes by,
00:21:33.96\00:21:37.99
that You haven't
provided mercies, new mercies.
00:21:38.03\00:21:41.70
Great is Your faithfulness,
oh, God, I bless Your name.
00:21:45.30\00:21:49.90
God, I thank You for the Bible.
00:21:49.94\00:21:51.54
Thank You that I'm
growing in Your Word.
00:21:55.58\00:21:59.78
Thank You for the
promises that are mine to claim.
00:21:59.81\00:22:02.38
Thank You that I can share
Your Word with others, God.
00:22:06.05\00:22:08.72
Day to day, I see
You moving in my life.
00:22:15.33\00:22:18.97
I thank You for it, God.
00:22:19.00\00:22:21.57
I praise Your
name, for no matter
00:22:21.60\00:22:23.71
what comes my way.
00:22:23.74\00:22:26.24
You are there with me.
00:22:26.27\00:22:29.58
I believe that
You've got ahead of me,
00:22:29.61\00:22:32.08
and are preparing the way.
00:22:32.11\00:22:36.92
And I praise Your name,
00:22:36.95\00:22:38.42
and I ask that You
would just accept my thanks.
00:22:38.45\00:22:42.66
As feeble and humble as it is.
00:22:42.69\00:22:46.46
Lord, I thank You,
00:22:46.49\00:22:51.20
in Your precious name, I pray.
00:22:51.23\00:22:55.30
You know, we sometimes wonder,
if our prayers are being heard.
00:22:55.34\00:22:59.24
As children of God,
00:23:06.28\00:23:07.62
one thing we can
be assured of is that,
00:23:07.65\00:23:11.52
God hears us.
00:23:11.55\00:23:14.39
He cares and He answers.
00:23:14.42\00:23:18.86
So I encourage you to look back
over some of your prayer lists,
00:23:18.89\00:23:23.63
or your journals, or however
you document your prayer life.
00:23:23.67\00:23:28.70
And if you don't, by the way,
00:23:28.74\00:23:32.17
document your
prayer life that is,
00:23:32.21\00:23:34.64
I encourage you to do so.
00:23:34.68\00:23:37.88
Because you need to
be able to look back
00:23:37.91\00:23:39.98
for the needs that
you've asked God to meet,
00:23:40.02\00:23:42.58
the hurts and
frustrations that He has mended.
00:23:42.62\00:23:46.92
And the pain and the turmoil of,
00:23:46.96\00:23:49.42
maybe some horrible
situations in your life that
00:23:49.46\00:23:52.69
He has healed you
00:23:52.73\00:23:54.30
and He has brought you through.
00:23:54.33\00:23:55.96
So you will be reminded
that when we pray, God listens.
00:24:01.14\00:24:05.84
And He answers in His time,
00:24:09.88\00:24:13.65
and according to His will,
00:24:13.68\00:24:15.38
because if we'd had our way,
00:24:15.42\00:24:17.62
things would
turn out differently.
00:24:17.65\00:24:21.72
You see, He may be
silent, but that doesn't mean
00:24:21.76\00:24:24.49
He isn't working, friend.
00:24:24.53\00:24:26.43
So keep believing,
00:24:26.46\00:24:30.60
and keep trusting.
00:24:30.63\00:24:35.17
Keep praying, and keep waiting.
00:24:35.20\00:24:38.97
Just take a moment and
thank Him for the answer
00:24:53.72\00:24:55.89
that is on the way.
00:24:55.92\00:24:57.26
Lord, I offer my life to You
00:25:16.78\00:25:23.22
Everything I've been through
00:25:23.25\00:25:27.36
Everything I'm going through
00:25:27.39\00:25:29.82
Use it for Your glory
00:25:29.86\00:25:33.53
Lord, I offer my days to You
00:25:33.56\00:25:39.90
I lift all my praise to You
00:25:39.93\00:25:45.31
As a living sacrifice
00:25:45.34\00:25:50.15
As a pleasing sacrifice
00:25:50.18\00:25:54.38
Lord, I offer You my life
00:25:54.42\00:25:59.35
Once again I
encourage you to invite someone
00:26:11.53\00:26:15.87
to tune in and watch with
you these 10 Days of Prayer.

There's no better
way to spend an evening,
00:26:42.56\00:26:46.80
than seeking the heart of God.
00:26:46.84\00:26:48.37
And now according to
1 Thessalonians 3:13,
00:27:03.08\00:27:07.36
"May the Lord
make your love increase
00:27:10.93\00:27:13.50
and overflow for each other,
00:27:13.53\00:27:17.27
may He strengthen your hearts,
so that you will be blameless
00:27:17.30\00:27:19.97
and holy in the
presence of our God and Father,
00:27:20.00\00:27:22.94
when our Lord Jesus
comes with all His holy ones.
00:27:22.97\00:27:26.27
Be faithful, friend.
00:27:29.54\00:27:30.95
