Welcome to Day 6
of 10 Days of Prayer.
00:00:14.51\00:00:17.25
Donald Owen and I are here
to remind you to pause to pray.
00:00:17.28\00:00:21.75
And we want to
ask you a question.
00:00:21.78\00:00:24.39
You want to know
the two step plan
00:00:24.42\00:00:25.92
to go from being a
fleshly carnal Christian
00:00:25.95\00:00:29.29
to being a spiritual Christian?
00:00:29.32\00:00:31.49
Well, here in the year 2021,
00:00:31.53\00:00:33.43
it's no different
than it's ever been.
00:00:33.46\00:00:35.66
Daily ask for and
received by faith,
00:00:35.70\00:00:38.63
the outpouring
of the Holy Spirit,
00:00:38.67\00:00:40.47
and daily surrender everything
you have and are to God,
00:00:40.50\00:00:44.57
then we let Him do the rest.
00:00:44.61\00:00:46.88
Sounds easy or not?
00:00:46.91\00:00:48.54
It isn't complicated though.
00:00:48.58\00:00:49.98
It simply requires you
to daily place yourself
00:00:50.01\00:00:52.85
where the Holy
Spirit can reach you.
00:00:52.88\00:00:55.25
Christ Himself
needed a daily fresh baptism
00:00:55.28\00:00:57.65
of the Holy Spirit
while He was on earth.
00:00:57.69\00:01:00.09
So how much more
should we have this power?
00:01:00.12\00:01:03.32
In 2 Corinthians
4:16 and Ephesians 3:16,
00:01:03.36\00:01:07.26
Paul writes about the inward man
00:01:07.30\00:01:09.13
being renewed day by day,
00:01:09.16\00:01:11.53
and he prays that God's
people would be strengthened
00:01:11.57\00:01:14.20
with might through His
Spirit in the inner man.
00:01:14.24\00:01:17.54
Our inward
person needs daily care.
00:01:17.57\00:01:20.41
And while that daily surrender
00:01:20.44\00:01:21.78
sounds somewhat
simple, it isn't easy.
00:01:21.81\00:01:25.08
You know why?
Because it demands sacrifice.
00:01:25.11\00:01:29.48
Jesus told His disciples,
00:01:29.52\00:01:31.39
"If anyone
desires to come after Me,
00:01:31.42\00:01:33.69
let him deny himself
and take up his cross daily,
00:01:33.72\00:01:37.06
and follow Me."
00:01:37.09\00:01:39.09
To deny self means
giving Jesus control
00:01:39.13\00:01:41.73
over our lives
each and every day.
00:01:41.76\00:01:44.33
The Apostle Paul
said, "I die daily," right?
00:01:44.37\00:01:48.00
Dying daily means surrender,
and surrender seems impossible.
00:01:48.04\00:01:52.41
But think about it.
00:01:52.44\00:01:53.78
We eat every day to
stay physically alive,
00:01:53.81\00:01:56.38
likewise, we need daily
spiritual food or we will die.
00:01:56.41\00:02:00.18
Mark it in your daily
calendar on your to-do list
00:02:00.22\00:02:03.18
just like your any other
task until it becomes a habit.
00:02:03.22\00:02:06.76
Commit today to share
part of your day with God.
00:02:06.79\00:02:11.13
Remember that, "Seek
first the kingdom of God
00:02:11.16\00:02:13.53
and His righteousness
and all these things
00:02:13.56\00:02:15.16
shall be added to you."
00:02:15.20\00:02:16.77
Yeah, so...
00:02:16.80\00:02:18.13
I need Thee every
hour Most gracious Lord
00:02:32.11\00:02:40.02
No tender voice like Thine
00:02:40.06\00:02:44.99
Can peace afford
00:02:45.03\00:02:49.73
I need Thee, oh, I need Thee
00:02:49.76\00:02:57.04
Every hour, I need Thee
00:02:57.07\00:03:03.08
Oh, bless me now, my Savior
00:03:03.11\00:03:08.45
I come to Thee
00:03:08.48\00:03:15.86
I need Thee every hour
00:03:15.89\00:03:20.20
Stay Thou nearby
00:03:20.23\00:03:24.97
Temptations lose their power
00:03:25.00\00:03:29.80
When You art nigh
00:03:29.84\00:03:35.34
I need Thee, oh,
00:03:35.38\00:03:39.01
I need Thee Every hour,
00:03:39.05\00:03:45.62
I need Thee
00:03:45.65\00:03:49.12
Oh, bless me now, my Savior
00:03:49.16\00:03:54.76
I come
00:03:54.80\00:03:57.90
To Thee
00:03:57.93\00:04:05.64
Donald, will you pray for us?
00:04:05.67\00:04:07.01
Sure.
00:04:07.04\00:04:08.61
Heavenly Father,
00:04:08.64\00:04:11.18
how thankful we are
that we can come to You,
00:04:11.21\00:04:13.72
it said in Hebrews 4,
I believe in verse 16,
00:04:13.75\00:04:17.52
it talks about,
we can come boldly
00:04:17.55\00:04:18.89
into the throne of grace.
00:04:18.92\00:04:21.89
Asking His petitions and why?
00:04:21.92\00:04:24.06
Because Jesus what
You have done for us,
00:04:24.09\00:04:28.16
so marvelous, so miraculous.
00:04:28.20\00:04:31.03
So thank You so much
for what You've done,
00:04:31.07\00:04:34.54
that we can die to self.
00:04:34.57\00:04:37.77
We've been given
life for a reason.
00:04:37.81\00:04:40.34
And that reason is to glorify
and honor our Father in heaven.
00:04:40.38\00:04:43.78
And we get to see
that through Your Son
00:04:43.81\00:04:45.68
when we read Your Word.
00:04:45.71\00:04:47.05
We thank You, Lord, we
ask that all we do and say,
00:04:47.08\00:04:50.19
as Tim said this year,
00:04:50.22\00:04:52.79
or we may mark this on our list,
00:04:52.82\00:04:55.29
but not just do it
as a list but do it
00:04:55.32\00:04:57.43
out of a heart of
gratitude and thanks,
00:04:57.46\00:05:00.33
because, Lord, one day we
get to see You face to face
00:05:00.36\00:05:03.43
and we won't have
to worry about lists.
00:05:03.47\00:05:06.40
We can Thank You, Lord,
00:05:06.43\00:05:07.77
that You are a great mighty God,
00:05:07.80\00:05:09.14
and that You will
deliver what You promise.
00:05:09.17\00:05:11.27
Help us, Lord, to
surrender ourselves
00:05:11.31\00:05:12.87
that we will one day
see You face to face.
00:05:12.91\00:05:15.74
We ask this in Jesus' name.
00:05:15.78\00:05:17.88
Amen.
00:05:17.91\00:05:20.58
Father, I ask that...
00:05:20.62\00:05:24.95
You will truly grant
me the mind of Christ.
00:05:24.99\00:05:29.06
What a privilege to
come to You in prayer
00:05:29.09\00:05:31.39
and to align my
desires with Your desires.
00:05:31.43\00:05:36.73
Father, I pray for
our viewers right now.
00:05:39.77\00:05:42.24
I ask God that You just...
00:05:42.27\00:05:45.07
give them a hunger to
be spiritual Christians...
00:05:45.11\00:05:50.35
striving to...
00:05:50.38\00:05:54.92
surrender everything they have.
00:05:54.95\00:05:58.35
So that nothing
stands between...
00:05:58.39\00:06:02.72
You and them, me
and You, nothing.
00:06:02.76\00:06:06.86
Lord, I know that
sounds unrealistic
00:06:06.90\00:06:09.46
in this world where we
have to fight the flesh,
00:06:09.50\00:06:13.34
and we have to
live in the flesh.
00:06:13.37\00:06:15.70
But we don't have to...
00:06:15.74\00:06:18.24
We can overcome,
You give us the power.
00:06:18.27\00:06:21.31
Thank You for your Holy
Spirit that gives us that power.
00:06:21.34\00:06:23.95
And so we bring our
needs to You because you care.
00:06:23.98\00:06:27.68
We thank You that You
have a heart and that we serve
00:06:27.72\00:06:30.95
a high priest that
is definitely concerned
00:06:30.99\00:06:36.26
with all of our needs.
00:06:36.29\00:06:38.66
So thank You.
00:06:38.69\00:06:41.73
And we bring
our requests to You.
00:06:41.76\00:06:46.77
Heavenly Father, I'm
forced to think about
00:06:46.80\00:06:48.97
Paul and his writings.
00:06:49.00\00:06:51.97
He said, "The things
that I don't want to do I do,
00:06:52.01\00:06:55.34
and the things I do
want to do, I don't."
00:06:55.38\00:06:57.85
And he cried out,
"Oh, wretched man that I am
00:06:57.88\00:06:59.68
who is able to save me
00:06:59.71\00:07:01.88
from this body
is going to death."
00:07:01.92\00:07:04.09
And he said, "Praise be to
God, the Lord Jesus Christ."
00:07:04.12\00:07:06.59
And I'm reminded of that
following verse, Romans 8:1,
00:07:06.62\00:07:10.13
"Therefore there
is now no condemnation
00:07:10.16\00:07:13.23
for those who
are in Christ Jesus,
00:07:13.26\00:07:14.60
walked down
according to the flesh,
00:07:14.63\00:07:16.36
but after the spirit."
00:07:16.40\00:07:18.00
So, Lord, we
desire to walk after You
00:07:18.03\00:07:20.57
and think of the disciples.
00:07:20.60\00:07:23.04
He said, "Are you
going to leave me too?"
00:07:23.07\00:07:24.41
He said, "Where else will we go,
00:07:24.44\00:07:26.07
we've got nowhere to go."
00:07:26.11\00:07:27.98
Lord, we need to cling to
You, cling to Your every word,
00:07:28.01\00:07:32.15
cling to who You are,
and who You want us to be.
00:07:32.18\00:07:35.62
And, Lord, we can be
overcomers in your strength.
00:07:35.65\00:07:38.15
We thank You
that You have overcome
00:07:38.19\00:07:40.22
and now we can have
that opportunity to overcome
00:07:40.26\00:07:43.76
by looking and listening,
00:07:43.79\00:07:45.26
and reading, and relying on You.
00:07:45.29\00:07:47.80
Thank You.
00:07:47.83\00:07:51.67
We have a list of
requests that range from babies
00:07:51.70\00:07:57.71
that are born prematurely,
00:07:57.74\00:08:01.71
babies who are born
with birth defects...
00:08:01.74\00:08:06.65
and for the
health of the mother.
00:08:06.68\00:08:11.55
God, we thank You for life.
00:08:11.59\00:08:14.42
We thank You that we are
fearfully and wonderfully made.
00:08:14.46\00:08:18.86
And that sometimes
it's difficult to see,
00:08:18.89\00:08:21.80
when there are birth
defects and abnormalities
00:08:21.83\00:08:25.17
and issues in pregnancies.
00:08:25.20\00:08:28.94
God it's amazing to watch
how You can turn things around.
00:08:28.97\00:08:33.64
And it's amazing
how You can use even...
00:08:37.65\00:08:40.92
our handicaps and...
00:08:40.95\00:08:43.55
issues that seem...
00:08:43.59\00:08:49.49
not right, not normal.
00:08:49.52\00:08:55.53
To draw us close to You...
00:08:55.56\00:08:58.60
Father, I pray for parents
00:08:58.63\00:09:01.27
who are dealing
with issues with babies,
00:09:01.30\00:09:05.77
who have
abnormalities and birth defects.
00:09:09.21\00:09:12.85
Lord Jesus, I ask that
You will touch the parents
00:09:12.88\00:09:15.32
and that You will give
them wisdom, give them love.
00:09:15.35\00:09:19.85
Lord, we all need You.
00:09:19.89\00:09:21.46
We all need love.
00:09:21.49\00:09:24.33
And we all need
Your healing touch.
00:09:24.36\00:09:28.86
Heavenly Father, I'm
thinking about those,
00:09:28.90\00:09:30.77
we are talking
about the struggle,
00:09:30.80\00:09:32.90
those who might
be in a corner...
00:09:32.93\00:09:35.74
putting a needle to
their arm or smoking things
00:09:35.77\00:09:39.21
that fry their
lungs or their mind,
00:09:39.24\00:09:41.41
or those who might be
tipping a bottle right now
00:09:41.44\00:09:43.95
that feel hopeless
00:09:43.98\00:09:46.41
like there's nothing good
in this world to live for,
00:09:46.45\00:09:49.62
and the struggles that we face
00:09:49.65\00:09:50.99
on a daily
moment to moment basis
00:09:51.02\00:09:53.05
and I'm forced to think about
that wonderful serenity prayer.
00:09:53.09\00:09:57.09
God grant me the serenity
00:09:57.13\00:09:58.46
to accept the
things I cannot change.
00:09:58.49\00:10:00.36
Courage to change the things
00:10:00.40\00:10:01.73
I can and wisdom to
know the difference.
00:10:01.76\00:10:03.87
Living one day at a time,
enjoying one moment at a time,
00:10:03.90\00:10:07.77
accepting hardships
as a pathway to peace,
00:10:07.80\00:10:10.57
taking as Jesus did
this sinful world as it is,
00:10:10.61\00:10:13.88
not as I would have it.
00:10:13.91\00:10:15.58
Trusting that You
will make all things right
00:10:15.61\00:10:18.11
if I surrender to Your will,
00:10:18.15\00:10:20.38
so that I may be
reasonably happy in this life
00:10:20.42\00:10:22.35
and supremely happy
with You forever and next.
00:10:22.38\00:10:25.35
Thank You, Lord,
that we can surrender
00:10:25.39\00:10:27.32
all to You and You'll heal us.
00:10:27.36\00:10:28.82
Sweet.
00:10:28.86\00:10:32.26
Father, for those who are...
00:10:32.29\00:10:35.10
facing the
devastating disease of ALS.
00:10:35.13\00:10:40.77
God, how debilitating.
00:10:40.80\00:10:44.91
This caller
writes in or calls in,
00:10:44.94\00:10:50.25
and said that they
losing the use of their arms
00:10:50.28\00:10:53.88
and their hand,
and other faculties.
00:10:53.92\00:10:55.75
Oh, God!
00:10:55.78\00:10:58.55
I just so mad at disease.
00:10:58.59\00:11:03.83
Lord, I know it
hurts Your heart.
00:11:03.86\00:11:06.76
I know You are able to heal.
00:11:06.80\00:11:10.10
I know You're
able to have Your way.
00:11:10.13\00:11:12.53
So, Father, I
just ask in Jesus name
00:11:12.57\00:11:14.40
that You would grant healing...
00:11:14.44\00:11:17.44
for the various
debilitating diseases.
00:11:17.47\00:11:19.51
God, I pray, muscle
diseases and mental diseases
00:11:19.54\00:11:22.74
and heart issues.
00:11:22.78\00:11:26.38
Oh, Lord, our bodies are
just being ravaged by disease.
00:11:26.41\00:11:32.75
God, I ask in Jesus'
name, grant us wisdom
00:11:32.79\00:11:37.66
to take care of ourselves
to the best of our ability...
00:11:37.69\00:11:43.13
and to trust in You for healing.
00:11:43.16\00:11:45.83
Lord, have Your way.
00:11:45.87\00:11:48.74
Do Your work...
00:11:48.77\00:11:51.97
in Jesus' name.
00:11:52.01\00:11:53.34
Amen.
00:11:53.38\00:11:54.84
Heavenly Father,
00:11:54.88\00:11:56.75
this writer is talking about
00:11:56.78\00:11:59.11
struggling with
anxiety and fear.
00:11:59.15\00:12:01.58
Your Word in 1
John 4:18 tells us,
00:12:01.62\00:12:03.49
"Perfect love casts out
fear, for fear of torment."
00:12:03.52\00:12:05.79
So we're asking,
Lord, to remove that fear.
00:12:05.82\00:12:08.72
And we can be
encouraged when we look to You,
00:12:08.76\00:12:12.16
that You will strengthen us,
00:12:12.19\00:12:14.13
that the enemy
will have nothing on us.
00:12:14.16\00:12:15.50
We thank You, Lord,
for what You're going to do
00:12:15.53\00:12:17.07
and how You
accomplish that which we cannot.
00:12:17.10\00:12:19.90
I pray in Jesus' name.
00:12:19.93\00:12:21.77
Amen.
00:12:21.80\00:12:24.67
I love the
words that Jesus said,
00:12:24.71\00:12:27.08
"In this world you
will have tribulation,
00:12:27.11\00:12:30.21
but be of good cheer.
00:12:30.25\00:12:32.48
I have overcome the world."
00:12:32.51\00:12:36.02
You see
tribulation never worries God
00:12:36.05\00:12:39.75
'cause He knows how it all ends.
00:12:39.79\00:12:42.49
And He also knows that
He'll never lose control.
00:12:42.52\00:12:44.79
All right. He's got you.
00:12:44.83\00:12:47.73
Christ is coming back.
00:12:47.76\00:12:49.46
Acts 1:11, the angel said,
00:12:49.50\00:12:51.80
"This same
Jesus who was taken up
00:12:51.83\00:12:53.67
from you into heaven
00:12:53.70\00:12:55.04
will so come in like manner
as You saw Him go into heaven."
00:12:55.07\00:12:59.27
Jesus Himself
said, I will come again
00:12:59.31\00:13:02.14
and receive you to Myself."
00:13:02.18\00:13:03.95
That's my hope.
00:13:03.98\00:13:05.85
That's what we can hold on to...
00:13:05.88\00:13:08.15
in the midst of an evil world.
00:13:08.18\00:13:13.59
Don't forget the
effective fervent prayer
00:13:13.62\00:13:15.36
of a righteous man avails much.
00:13:15.39\00:13:18.09
Don't stop praying.
00:13:18.13\00:13:20.16
Don't stop relying on
the spirit of the living God.
00:13:20.20\00:13:24.20
Pray that He will fall afresh
on you that He will melt you,
00:13:24.23\00:13:27.64
mold you, fill you, and use you.
00:13:27.67\00:13:31.21
That's my prayer for you.
00:13:31.24\00:13:32.97
Thank you for
spending these days with us.
00:13:33.01\00:13:35.68
Continue to pray,
continue to seek the Lord.
00:13:35.71\00:13:39.55
He loves you.
00:13:39.58\00:13:41.18
Nothing's impossible for Him.
00:13:41.22\00:13:42.68
That's right.
00:13:42.72\00:13:44.05
God bless you.
00:13:44.09\00:13:45.42
