Hi and thanks for joining us
on Day 8 of 10 Days of Prayer,
00:00:14.64\00:00:18.35
a prayer plan from our friends
00:00:18.38\00:00:19.71
at revivalandreformation.org.
00:00:19.75\00:00:22.45
Matthew 12:31
records these words of Jesus.
00:00:22.48\00:00:25.82
"Therefore I say to
you, every sin and blasphemy
00:00:25.85\00:00:28.82
will be forgiven men,
00:00:28.86\00:00:30.33
but the blasphemy
against the Spirit
00:00:30.36\00:00:32.39
will not be forgiven men."
00:00:32.43\00:00:34.63
What is blasphemy
of the Holy Spirit?
00:00:34.66\00:00:36.87
Well, some say
it's refusal to respond
00:00:36.90\00:00:39.00
to the spirits call to repent.
00:00:39.03\00:00:41.50
Listen to the
testimony of this pastor."
00:00:41.54\00:00:44.74
Even Spirit-filled
people sometimes make mistakes.
00:00:44.77\00:00:48.21
Abraham, Moses, David, and Peter
00:00:48.24\00:00:50.41
all had defects of character
00:00:50.45\00:00:52.38
and momentary failures
in the hour of temptation.
00:00:52.41\00:00:55.75
Even Jesus was tempted,
though He never yielded.
00:00:55.78\00:00:59.95
So just because we
are walking in the spirit
00:00:59.99\00:01:01.92
at this moment does not mean
00:01:01.96\00:01:03.39
we are beyond the
possibility of making mistakes,
00:01:03.43\00:01:06.09
and a mistake is not the same
as hardening our hearts in sin.
00:01:06.13\00:01:10.27
A woman in her later years
00:01:10.30\00:01:11.63
had become calloused,
discouraged, and angry.
00:01:11.67\00:01:14.77
She had little
tolerance for others
00:01:14.80\00:01:16.54
except for her closest
friends from years gone by.
00:01:16.57\00:01:19.47
When visitors came to church,
00:01:19.51\00:01:21.28
she often made
offensive comments
00:01:21.31\00:01:22.98
regarding their children,
00:01:23.01\00:01:24.35
their attire, or something else.
00:01:24.38\00:01:26.58
Newly baptized members
and others were offended
00:01:26.61\00:01:29.18
by her rude criticisms.
00:01:29.22\00:01:30.92
Some became so discouraged
00:01:30.95\00:01:32.42
that they would not
come back to church.
00:01:32.45\00:01:34.89
I was in the dark about
00:01:34.92\00:01:36.26
all of this until
one elders' meeting.
00:01:36.29\00:01:38.19
I asked the elders if they knew
00:01:38.23\00:01:39.83
why people were not
returning to church.
00:01:39.86\00:01:42.70
Several hung
their heads in silence.
00:01:42.73\00:01:44.73
Finally one elder
spoke up, 'Pastor,
00:01:44.77\00:01:47.30
we have a lady
in our congregation
00:01:47.34\00:01:49.24
who cannot control her tongue.
00:01:49.27\00:01:51.21
She gossips and
criticizes nearly everyone.
00:01:51.24\00:01:54.31
This is why people
won't return to church.'
00:01:54.34\00:01:56.88
'How long has
this been going on?'
00:01:56.91\00:01:58.25
I asked.
00:01:58.28\00:01:59.61
'For many
years,' was the response.
00:01:59.65\00:02:01.75
'Why hasn't anyone
done something about this?'
00:02:01.78\00:02:03.92
I continued.
00:02:03.95\00:02:05.35
'A couple of pastors have tried,
00:02:05.39\00:02:06.86
but there is never any change.'
00:02:06.89\00:02:09.42
'This simply
cannot continue,' I said,
00:02:09.46\00:02:11.83
'so here is
what I am proposing.'
00:02:11.86\00:02:14.33
I will go visit
this lady and require her
00:02:14.36\00:02:16.60
to change her
behavior within two weeks.
00:02:16.63\00:02:19.60
If she is unwilling to change,
00:02:19.63\00:02:21.34
then her name will be brought up
00:02:21.37\00:02:22.70
to the next board
meeting for discipline.
00:02:22.74\00:02:24.81
Will you elders
back me up on this?'
00:02:24.84\00:02:27.51
The elders
unanimously backed the plan.
00:02:27.54\00:02:30.01
I made arrangements to
visit the lady in question.
00:02:30.05\00:02:32.85
'I know why you are here,'
00:02:32.88\00:02:34.35
she said when I sat
down in her living room.
00:02:34.38\00:02:37.25
'You do?' I replied.
00:02:37.29\00:02:39.49
'Yes,' she
continued, 'you have come here
00:02:39.52\00:02:41.72
to talk about the
way I talk to people.'
00:02:41.76\00:02:44.63
'That is exactly right,' I said,
00:02:44.66\00:02:46.90
'but how did you know that?'
00:02:46.93\00:02:48.83
'Because two other
pastors have come to my home
00:02:48.86\00:02:51.03
to talk about the same thing.'
00:02:51.07\00:02:53.64
'Did it do any
good?' I questioned.
00:02:53.67\00:02:55.74
'No, it did not.'
00:02:55.77\00:02:57.57
'Why?' I asked.
00:02:57.61\00:02:59.31
'Because I have the right to say
00:02:59.34\00:03:00.98
what I think best,
00:03:01.01\00:03:02.34
and people are
way too sensitive.
00:03:02.38\00:03:04.85
They wear their
feelings on their shirtsleeves.'
00:03:04.88\00:03:08.42
I discussed Christian behavior
00:03:08.45\00:03:10.15
using verses like
Ephesians 4:29-31,
00:03:10.19\00:03:13.52
but the woman was
still unwilling to change.
00:03:13.56\00:03:16.66
With a prayer on my heart,
00:03:16.69\00:03:18.03
I said, 'You have two
weeks to change your behavior,
00:03:18.06\00:03:20.50
or I will be
forced to take your name
00:03:20.53\00:03:22.16
to the church
board for discipline,
00:03:22.20\00:03:23.87
and I have the support
of all the elders on this.'
00:03:23.90\00:03:27.17
'You wouldn't do that!'
00:03:27.20\00:03:28.54
she exclaimed.
00:03:28.57\00:03:29.90
'Oh, yes, I will
unless you decide
00:03:29.94\00:03:31.91
to change the way
you talk to people.'
00:03:31.94\00:03:34.34
'I don't believe the elders
00:03:34.38\00:03:35.71
will back you
on this,' she said.
00:03:35.74\00:03:37.65
'They already have,
and you can check with them
00:03:37.68\00:03:39.81
if you want to, but
that is the way it is.'
00:03:39.85\00:03:43.28
This revelation
caused the woman to sit back
00:03:43.32\00:03:45.79
and solemnly reflect in silence.
00:03:45.82\00:03:48.46
I gently said, 'We all love you
00:03:48.49\00:03:51.06
and want you to be
part of our congregation,
00:03:51.09\00:03:53.80
but this
behavior has to change.'
00:03:53.83\00:03:56.50
The following Sabbath
she did not come to church.
00:03:56.53\00:03:59.03
Her friends avoided me.
00:03:59.07\00:04:00.67
I knew they were all
struggling with the situation.
00:04:00.70\00:04:03.67
The next Sabbath,
00:04:03.71\00:04:05.04
just before her
two weeks were up,
00:04:05.07\00:04:07.04
she came to church.
00:04:07.08\00:04:08.54
I walked up to greet her.
00:04:08.58\00:04:10.58
Her face was sober,
00:04:10.61\00:04:12.18
but she took my
hand and held it firmly.
00:04:12.21\00:04:14.65
'Pastor,' she said,
00:04:14.68\00:04:16.52
'I thought over
everything you said.
00:04:16.55\00:04:18.79
I want you to know
I now see clearly that
00:04:18.82\00:04:20.89
I have been in the
wrong all these years.
00:04:20.92\00:04:23.39
I hope you will forgive me,
00:04:23.43\00:04:24.76
and I intend to ask the
forgiveness of the elders
00:04:24.79\00:04:27.23
and the rest of the church.
00:04:27.26\00:04:28.90
With the help of God, I
will be a different woman.'
00:04:28.93\00:04:32.13
Her eyes glistened with
tears at this admission,
00:04:32.17\00:04:35.20
and I am happy to say
00:04:35.24\00:04:36.57
she was faithful to her promise.
00:04:36.60\00:04:38.47
People began to
come back to church,
00:04:38.51\00:04:40.64
and the
congregation grew rapidly."
00:04:40.68\00:04:43.35
Well, I've known
people like that.
00:04:43.38\00:04:46.38
Think and pray
about the Scripture.
00:04:46.41\00:04:48.92
Hebrews 6:4-6,
"For it is impossible
00:04:48.95\00:04:53.22
for those who
were once enlightened,
00:04:53.25\00:04:55.02
and have tasted
the heavenly gift,
00:04:55.06\00:04:56.83
and have become
partakers of the Holy Spirit,
00:04:56.86\00:04:59.09
and have tasted
the good word of God
00:04:59.13\00:05:01.03
and the powers
of the age to come,
00:05:01.06\00:05:03.33
if they fall away, it
is impossible to renew them
00:05:03.37\00:05:06.67
again to repentance,
00:05:06.70\00:05:08.30
since they crucify
again for themselves
00:05:08.34\00:05:11.01
the Son of God, and
put Him to an open shame."
00:05:11.04\00:05:14.31
Truly converted people
00:05:14.34\00:05:15.94
are capable of
turning away from Jesus.
00:05:15.98\00:05:19.38
In Hebrews 4:7 says, "Today,
00:05:19.41\00:05:22.88
if you will hear His voice,
do not harden your hearts."
00:05:22.92\00:05:26.86
See, the best time to obey
the voice of the Holy Spirit
00:05:26.89\00:05:29.76
is the first time
that He speaks to you.
00:05:29.79\00:05:33.56
And then in Acts 7:51 says,
00:05:33.60\00:05:38.70
"You
stiff-necked and uncircumcised
00:05:38.73\00:05:40.74
in heart and ears!
00:05:40.77\00:05:42.77
You always
resist the Holy Spirit
00:05:42.80\00:05:45.07
as your fathers did, so do you.
00:05:45.11\00:05:49.21
Do not resist the guidance
00:05:49.24\00:05:50.85
and the warnings
of the Holy Spirit.
00:05:50.88\00:05:52.35
Have Thine own way, Lord
00:06:08.10\00:06:13.97
Have Thine own way
00:06:14.00\00:06:18.01
Thou art the potter,
00:06:18.04\00:06:22.44
I am the clay
00:06:22.48\00:06:27.08
Mold me and make me
00:06:27.12\00:06:32.09
After Thy will
00:06:32.12\00:06:36.93
While I am waiting
00:06:36.96\00:06:42.06
yielded and still
00:06:42.10\00:06:46.70
Have Thine own way, Lord
00:06:46.74\00:06:51.21
Have Thine own way
00:06:51.24\00:06:55.41
Search me and try me,
00:06:55.44\00:06:59.81
Savior, today
00:06:59.85\00:07:04.95
Wash me just now, Lord,
00:07:04.99\00:07:09.72
wash me just now
00:07:09.76\00:07:14.10
As in Thy presence,
00:07:14.13\00:07:19.53
I humbly bow
00:07:19.57\00:07:21.87
Have Thine own way, Lord!
00:07:25.77\00:07:30.91
Have Thine own way!
00:07:30.95\00:07:33.21
Wounded and weary,
00:07:36.05\00:07:40.46
Help me I pray
00:07:40.49\00:07:45.33
Power, all power,
00:07:45.36\00:07:49.33
surely is Thine
00:07:49.36\00:07:54.14
Touch me and heal me,
00:07:54.17\00:07:59.41
Savior divine
00:07:59.44\00:08:02.88
Let's pray.
00:08:13.69\00:08:15.72
Dear, Father, may I
listen to Your voice always?
00:08:15.76\00:08:21.46
And forgive me when
I have been stubborn.
00:08:21.50\00:08:26.67
God, open my eyes and my
ears to discern Your will
00:08:26.70\00:08:31.11
and give me the courage to obey.
00:08:31.14\00:08:36.75
Jesus, forgive me for the pain
00:08:36.78\00:08:38.48
that I have caused You,
00:08:38.51\00:08:40.82
when I have been
unwilling to give up my sin.
00:08:40.85\00:08:43.12
Please do not take
Your Holy Spirit from me.
00:08:47.79\00:08:50.13
Soften my heart to
receive Your instruction, Lord.
00:08:53.80\00:08:56.70
God, please forgive our church
00:09:02.30\00:09:04.01
when we have not listened
to Your voice in the Bible.
00:09:04.04\00:09:06.37
Help us as a congregation
to cleanse ourselves of sinned
00:09:10.08\00:09:13.55
and restore the
presence of Your spirit among us
00:09:13.58\00:09:16.22
we ask O' God,
restore Your spirit.
00:09:16.25\00:09:20.79
Create in us a
clean heart, O' God,
00:09:20.82\00:09:23.63
and renew a
right spirit within us.
00:09:23.66\00:09:28.73
Lord, cast me not
away from Your presence
00:09:28.76\00:09:32.40
and do not take
Your Holy Spirit from us.
00:09:32.43\00:09:34.57
Restore to me the
joy of Your salvation.
00:09:38.51\00:09:40.64
And then we will
teach sinners Your ways,
00:09:43.65\00:09:48.78
and they will be
converted to You.
00:09:48.82\00:09:50.95
Father, we intercede
for those who may be victims
00:09:57.23\00:09:59.53
of circumstances are
controlled by addictions.
00:09:59.56\00:10:05.37
Lord, we ask that You
would break the chains
00:10:05.40\00:10:07.17
that bind them.
00:10:07.20\00:10:09.74
And may we win them back to You
00:10:09.77\00:10:12.47
through love and concern.
00:10:12.51\00:10:13.91
God, I ask that You
would please touch us
00:10:17.31\00:10:19.11
and teach us how
to live out our belief
00:10:19.15\00:10:23.59
that others will be attracted
00:10:23.62\00:10:27.89
by the way we live,
00:10:27.92\00:10:31.89
by the difference
that they see in us.
00:10:31.93\00:10:35.06
May the love of Jesus Christ
be at the core of everything
00:10:35.10\00:10:39.30
that we believe and we do.
00:10:39.33\00:10:40.94
We ask You God to
prepare young people
00:10:47.38\00:10:49.88
to plant churches
for the 789 people groups
00:10:49.91\00:10:54.92
in the 9 countries of
North American Division.
00:10:54.95\00:10:57.72
We ask you to raise
up medical missionaries
00:11:00.99\00:11:03.12
to plant churches
among the 830 people groups
00:11:03.16\00:11:07.20
in the 11 countries
00:11:07.23\00:11:08.56
of East-Central Africa Division.
00:11:08.60\00:11:11.57
We ask you to
raise up prayer warriors
00:11:15.77\00:11:17.67
to intercede for
the 2,568 people groups
00:11:17.71\00:11:22.84
in the 4 countries of
Southern Asia Division.
00:11:22.88\00:11:27.42
Oh, God, so many people
are in need of You, Lord.
00:11:27.45\00:11:31.79
They need to
hear Your good news.
00:11:31.82\00:11:34.69
We ask you to raise up
new youth leaders to teach
00:11:37.89\00:11:40.60
and direct the
youth in our churches.
00:11:40.63\00:11:45.33
Lord, we ask
for Your Holy Spirit
00:11:45.37\00:11:47.07
to draw the youth to You.
00:11:47.10\00:11:49.10
Give them a hunger
for righteousness, Lord.
00:11:53.34\00:11:56.38
Lord, we get
requests here at 3ABN,
00:12:04.49\00:12:06.55
and I lift them up to You, Lord.
00:12:09.66\00:12:14.40
A woman has called in
and said that her husband
00:12:14.43\00:12:17.57
is having pains in his
head and sometimes seizures.
00:12:17.60\00:12:23.81
She says that they're under
00:12:23.84\00:12:25.97
massive amount of
stress financially,
00:12:26.01\00:12:28.58
and they're seeking a way out.
00:12:28.61\00:12:31.51
Their house is on the market,
00:12:31.55\00:12:34.62
they're looking for
property at a reasonable price.
00:12:34.65\00:12:40.82
Lord, they need a
miracle in so many ways.
00:12:40.86\00:12:45.66
We're reminded that
nothing is impossible with You.
00:12:45.69\00:12:50.17
So I ask that You would
move on their behalf, God.
00:12:50.20\00:12:52.60
A lady has called
in and saying that
00:12:56.47\00:12:58.07
she has many strokes
00:12:58.11\00:13:02.81
and blood clots on her brain.
00:13:02.84\00:13:05.28
Father, she needs Your healing.
00:13:05.31\00:13:10.69
Jesus,
00:13:10.72\00:13:12.05
grant healing.
00:13:16.22\00:13:17.56
A caller calls in and says,
"My coworker is being treated
00:13:21.76\00:13:25.80
unjustly by his supervisor
who is a non-believer.
00:13:25.83\00:13:30.51
He's using his office to
work with human resources
00:13:30.54\00:13:33.81
on getting rid of the coworker
00:13:33.84\00:13:37.25
with a meager settlement."
00:13:37.28\00:13:40.78
Prayer is being requested
for God's mighty hand of mercy
00:13:40.82\00:13:43.82
and protection to be upon him
00:13:43.85\00:13:46.05
and to provide him a
job along with this one
00:13:46.09\00:13:50.43
who is asking prayer
as she goes to the manager
00:13:50.46\00:13:55.10
to talk in behalf of the person.
00:13:55.13\00:14:00.24
Also, praying for the supervisor
00:14:00.27\00:14:01.90
to accept Jesus as his Savior.
00:14:01.94\00:14:03.77
What a wonderful
opportunity we have as workers
00:14:06.91\00:14:11.81
to make a difference
in our place of work.
00:14:11.85\00:14:15.62
We lift up those who
are in need of caretakers
00:14:22.66\00:14:24.96
for ailing family members.
00:14:24.99\00:14:29.36
We ask for a
healing touch in the life
00:14:35.87\00:14:38.67
of those who are ailing.
00:14:38.71\00:14:40.04
And, Lord, I just
want to stop for a moment
00:14:44.25\00:14:46.15
and lift up to You.
00:14:46.18\00:14:47.52
Relationships
in which one spouse
00:14:51.55\00:14:54.86
is not a believer.
00:14:54.89\00:14:59.79
Lord, we know how that
makes relationships difficult.
00:14:59.83\00:15:05.70
I ask, God, that You would give
00:15:05.73\00:15:07.07
strength to the Christian spouse
00:15:07.10\00:15:10.07
to be the godly witness
that would draw their husband
00:15:10.11\00:15:12.31
or their wife to You.
00:15:12.34\00:15:14.84
Lord, I pray that
You will touch our hearts
00:15:14.88\00:15:16.71
that we would live
peaceably together,
00:15:16.75\00:15:19.88
preferring one
another over ourselves.
00:15:19.91\00:15:22.78
Have Thine own way, Lord
00:15:28.79\00:15:32.63
Have Thine own way
00:15:32.66\00:15:37.23
Hold over my being
00:15:37.27\00:15:41.80
Absolute sway
00:15:41.84\00:15:46.54
Fill with Thy Spirit
00:15:46.57\00:15:51.48
Till all shall see
00:15:51.51\00:15:55.95
Christ only always
00:15:55.98\00:16:01.82
living in me
00:16:01.86\00:16:03.73
God, we ask that
You will speak to us
00:16:13.74\00:16:15.44
in this time of prayer.
00:16:15.47\00:16:16.81
Holy Spirit, please speak to us.
00:16:27.22\00:16:31.29
Lord, I know
that there are those
00:16:48.94\00:16:50.27
who are watching
who've lost their loved ones
00:16:50.31\00:16:54.24
after a long
battle with disease.
00:16:54.28\00:16:58.68
Then there are those
who had no notice of death,
00:16:58.71\00:17:03.95
they died suddenly.
00:17:03.99\00:17:06.79
And these family members
not only are left with the pain
00:17:12.26\00:17:15.46
of the loss,
00:17:15.50\00:17:18.87
but they're left
with financial bills,
00:17:18.90\00:17:23.27
legal issues,
00:17:23.30\00:17:27.04
family situations
00:17:27.08\00:17:32.15
besides the
heartache and loneliness.
00:17:32.18\00:17:35.38
Lord, Your Word declares
that You will never leave us
00:17:42.89\00:17:46.09
nor forsake us.
00:17:46.13\00:17:49.93
That You are
comfort, and I ask God
00:17:49.96\00:17:52.00
that You would
00:17:52.03\00:17:54.50
send Your Holy
Spirit to comfort.
00:17:54.54\00:17:56.97
To lead these families
who have lost loved ones,
00:18:04.81\00:18:08.75
lead them to
solutions and remind them
00:18:08.78\00:18:13.25
that You are with them, God.
00:18:13.29\00:18:14.92
Father, we lift up
those who need salvation,
00:18:22.10\00:18:26.23
our loved ones,
our family members,
00:18:26.27\00:18:29.17
they need You, Lord.
00:18:29.20\00:18:30.54
God, I thank You
for our churches,
00:18:37.98\00:18:41.92
the facilities,
and the leaderships,
00:18:41.95\00:18:44.29
the teachers, the workers.
00:18:44.32\00:18:49.36
We know as long as
there are people involved,
00:18:49.39\00:18:51.79
things can go wrong.
00:18:51.83\00:18:54.23
Feelings can be hurt and
misunderstanding can occur.
00:18:54.26\00:19:00.14
But, Father, as
we strive to be salt
00:19:00.17\00:19:02.20
and light in this world,
00:19:02.24\00:19:03.71
I ask, God, that You
will help our churches
00:19:06.78\00:19:10.75
to be godly.
00:19:10.78\00:19:12.11
To follow Your Spirit,
to forgive one another,
00:19:18.92\00:19:23.86
to bear each other's burdens,
to simply love in word and deed
00:19:23.89\00:19:29.20
so that no one
will be drawn away
00:19:29.23\00:19:34.17
from the church because of hurt.
00:19:34.20\00:19:37.24
Holy God, teach us
to be a loving people
00:19:42.51\00:19:47.52
to follow Your example.
00:19:47.55\00:19:48.88
Sometimes we hurt each other,
00:19:55.72\00:19:57.09
and we break
hearts by our selfishness
00:19:57.13\00:20:01.86
in multiple, multiple
ways we have of doing that
00:20:01.90\00:20:04.63
we've learned so
many ways to be ugly.
00:20:04.67\00:20:10.61
We don't always intend to God,
00:20:10.64\00:20:12.64
but I ask, Lord,
00:20:12.67\00:20:14.14
that You would
heal the hearts of those
00:20:14.18\00:20:16.64
who have been
shattered by ugly words,
00:20:16.68\00:20:21.32
ugly deeds, help
them to get over it,
00:20:21.35\00:20:26.19
and to allow
someone another chance.
00:20:26.22\00:20:29.72
God, we all want
another chance with You,
00:20:29.76\00:20:35.26
with those that we have hurt,
00:20:35.30\00:20:37.63
with those that
we have been hurt by.
00:20:37.67\00:20:39.97
Thank you, God,
for being the God
00:20:44.01\00:20:45.34
of a second, third, fourth,
00:20:45.37\00:20:47.84
and millionth chance.
00:20:47.88\00:20:51.81
Thank you for Your
love that is never ending
00:20:51.85\00:20:55.82
and Your mercy and forgiveness
that is never failing.
00:20:55.85\00:20:58.69
There's a woman who...
00:21:06.46\00:21:10.43
She's a mother,
and she's called in
00:21:10.47\00:21:13.97
and she's asking
prayer for her son
00:21:14.00\00:21:16.84
who thinks he's a woman,
00:21:16.87\00:21:20.18
and he's living with a man.
00:21:20.21\00:21:25.68
The prayer is that he
would come to You, Lord.
00:21:25.71\00:21:28.35
The same woman
asks for her daughter
00:21:33.15\00:21:38.79
that You will
touch the relationship
00:21:38.83\00:21:40.40
that she has with her daughter.
00:21:40.43\00:21:44.83
She says she
doesn't understand the Bible
00:21:44.87\00:21:46.60
and she needs You, Jesus.
00:21:46.63\00:21:48.07
There's a woman
with an autistic son
00:21:53.24\00:21:54.94
who is being
harassed at night by a demon.
00:21:54.98\00:22:00.62
Lord, I ask that You would
00:22:00.65\00:22:03.35
cause these attacks to stop
00:22:03.39\00:22:05.79
and to rebuke Satan
00:22:05.82\00:22:11.23
and deliver this son.
00:22:11.26\00:22:16.87
Lord, save our
sons and daughters, God.
00:22:16.90\00:22:20.47
The battle is real.
00:22:20.50\00:22:21.84
Someone needs Jesus to intervene
00:22:27.04\00:22:29.08
in a spiritual battle
going on in their home.
00:22:29.11\00:22:32.95
We rebuke the enemy
00:22:32.98\00:22:34.32
and we pray the
evil will not hurt.
00:22:34.35\00:22:38.65
This one who is asked
00:22:38.69\00:22:43.22
and the God will
grant protection, Lord.
00:22:43.26\00:22:45.09
Lord, we need You.
00:22:51.20\00:22:56.24
Lord, we need you.
00:22:56.27\00:23:01.48
Lord, I come,
00:23:01.51\00:23:05.05
I confess
00:23:05.08\00:23:07.82
Bowing here I find my rest
00:23:07.85\00:23:13.76
Without You I fall apart
00:23:13.79\00:23:19.43
You're the One
00:23:19.46\00:23:21.83
That guides my heart
00:23:21.86\00:23:24.10
Lord, I need You,
00:23:28.20\00:23:30.94
Oh, I need You
00:23:30.97\00:23:35.28
Every hour I need You
00:23:35.31\00:23:41.48
My one defense,
00:23:41.52\00:23:44.29
My righteousness
00:23:44.32\00:23:47.02
Oh God, how I need You
00:23:47.06\00:23:50.76
Where sin runs deep
00:23:55.80\00:23:58.83
Your grace is more
00:23:58.87\00:24:01.94
Where grace is found
00:24:01.97\00:24:04.84
Is where You are
00:24:04.87\00:24:08.31
Where You are, Lord,
00:24:08.34\00:24:10.65
I am free
00:24:10.68\00:24:14.02
Holiness Is Christ in me
00:24:14.05\00:24:20.02
Lord, I need You,
00:24:20.06\00:24:22.76
Oh, I need You
00:24:22.79\00:24:27.30
Every hour I need You
00:24:27.33\00:24:33.67
My one defense,
00:24:33.70\00:24:36.67
my righteousness
00:24:36.71\00:24:39.94
Oh God, how I need You
00:24:39.97\00:24:43.98
So teach my song to rise to You
00:24:52.65\00:24:58.86
When temptation comes my way
00:24:58.89\00:25:04.57
When I cannot
stand I'll fall on You
00:25:04.60\00:25:10.87
Jesus, You're my hope and stay
00:25:10.91\00:25:15.18
Lord, I need You,
00:25:25.02\00:25:27.29
Oh, I need You
00:25:27.32\00:25:32.59
Every hour
00:25:32.63\00:25:35.26
I need You
00:25:35.30\00:25:40.24
My one defense,
00:25:40.27\00:25:43.71
My righteousness
00:25:43.74\00:25:46.91
Oh God,
00:25:46.94\00:25:48.88
how I need You
00:25:48.91\00:25:54.52
Oh God, how I need You
00:25:54.55\00:25:58.65
Oh God, I need You
00:26:02.89\00:26:06.16
In John 6:37,
Christ assures us that,
00:26:11.73\00:26:15.87
"All those the Father
gives Me will come to Me,
00:26:15.90\00:26:19.24
and whoever comes to Me
I will never drive away."
00:26:19.27\00:26:23.68
He will not send away
those who come to Him.
00:26:23.71\00:26:28.35
His acceptance is
peppered throughout the gospels.
00:26:28.38\00:26:32.62
We will find Him
waiting with open arms.
00:26:32.65\00:26:36.06
Christ's invitation
extends to everyone,
00:26:36.09\00:26:38.63
and He accepts all
those who will follow Him
00:26:38.66\00:26:41.76
and will walk in His ways.
00:26:45.07\00:26:46.40
So if you've offended anyone,
00:26:51.24\00:26:53.01
if you've turned
your back on God,
00:26:59.08\00:27:00.72
reach out to Him
and ask for forgiveness.
00:27:07.66\00:27:09.62
Just let Him know.
00:27:13.13\00:27:16.60
Lord, I need You,
00:27:16.63\00:27:19.77
Oh, I need You
00:27:19.80\00:27:25.81
Every hour
00:27:25.84\00:27:29.01
I need You
00:27:29.04\00:27:33.65
My one defense,
00:27:33.68\00:27:36.28
My righteousness
00:27:36.32\00:27:39.32
Oh God, how I need
00:27:39.35\00:27:45.96
You Thank you, Lord,
00:27:45.99\00:27:47.33
for Your
acceptance for Your love,
00:27:47.36\00:27:51.07
for that prodigal
is returning to You.
00:27:57.21\00:27:59.54
Thank You.
00:28:04.45\00:28:06.31
