Here we are on Day
10 of 10 Days of Prayer.
00:00:13.31\00:00:16.41
Thank you so much
for joining me every day
00:00:16.44\00:00:18.55
or some of the days.
00:00:18.58\00:00:20.15
I really
appreciate you being involved.
00:00:20.18\00:00:22.08
I want to thank Donald
Owen for his involvement,
00:00:22.12\00:00:24.92
and JD Quinn for his.
00:00:24.95\00:00:27.09
I love what these men
00:00:27.12\00:00:28.46
who are in the
pastoral department
00:00:28.49\00:00:30.46
at 3ABN, what they bring
00:00:30.49\00:00:32.06
to this time of
prayer, their hearts,
00:00:32.09\00:00:35.36
it's just really encouraging
and I love both of them
00:00:35.40\00:00:37.77
so dearly, I love
our pastoral department.
00:00:37.80\00:00:40.27
I encourage you
again to email or call
00:00:40.30\00:00:43.71
the pastoral department at 3ABN
00:00:43.74\00:00:45.61
and give them
your prayer request.
00:00:45.64\00:00:48.01
But for today, we want
to get right into things
00:00:48.04\00:00:50.58
and I want you to
think about you may have seen
00:00:50.61\00:00:52.91
Da Vinci's famous
painting the Last Supper,
00:00:52.95\00:00:56.32
it depicts the scene
of serenity and intimacy
00:00:56.35\00:00:59.22
shared by Jesus
and His disciples.
00:00:59.25\00:01:02.32
But I can't imagine
that's really what everything
00:01:02.36\00:01:04.99
looked that like that evening.
00:01:05.03\00:01:07.03
The disciples
were confused by events
00:01:07.06\00:01:09.36
that were rapidly
spinning out of their control.
00:01:09.40\00:01:12.03
The week had begun
with Jesus and His disciples
00:01:12.07\00:01:14.87
triumphal entry into
the city of Jerusalem.
00:01:14.90\00:01:17.61
They were welcomed
00:01:17.64\00:01:18.97
in the manner of
conquering heroes.
00:01:19.01\00:01:20.94
Their ambitions had been stoked
by the seemingly obvious fact
00:01:20.98\00:01:24.51
that Jesus was getting ready
to usher in the kingdom of God.
00:01:24.55\00:01:28.35
Who knew what kind of
power the disciples would enjoy
00:01:28.38\00:01:31.25
in that administration.
00:01:31.29\00:01:33.39
But on the other hand,
00:01:33.42\00:01:35.12
Jesus kept
referring to His own death.
00:01:35.16\00:01:38.03
The disciples were just baffled.
00:01:38.06\00:01:40.80
Jesus saw their preoccupation
with their own importance
00:01:40.83\00:01:43.53
in the earthly kingdom.
00:01:43.57\00:01:44.97
They thought that He
was about to established
00:01:45.00\00:01:47.30
and their gut wrenching
fear every time he alluded
00:01:47.34\00:01:50.24
to His imminent death.
00:01:50.27\00:01:52.07
These were men
living in abject denial.
00:01:52.11\00:01:55.94
Jesus had to admit to them,
00:01:55.98\00:01:57.88
I still have many
things to say to you,
00:01:57.91\00:02:00.05
but you cannot bear them now.
00:02:00.08\00:02:02.65
But He did make this promise,
00:02:02.68\00:02:04.72
when the Spirit
of truth has come,
00:02:04.75\00:02:06.52
He will guide
you into all truth,
00:02:06.55\00:02:08.46
for He will not
speak on His own authority,
00:02:08.49\00:02:10.76
but whatever He
hears, He will speak
00:02:10.79\00:02:12.99
and He will tell
you things to come.
00:02:13.03\00:02:15.86
In all their confusion,
00:02:15.90\00:02:17.77
Jesus offered the
promise of help and clarity.
00:02:17.80\00:02:21.37
He promised the
disciples the Holy Spirit
00:02:21.40\00:02:23.91
that would guide them in
truth, teaching them the things
00:02:23.94\00:02:27.34
that they never
could have known otherwise.
00:02:27.38\00:02:29.91
The spirit would
even strengthen their hope
00:02:29.94\00:02:32.18
by showing them the future,
00:02:32.21\00:02:34.08
something that
would be a big help,
00:02:34.12\00:02:36.65
given the future
that they were facing.
00:02:36.69\00:02:39.39
You know, it's an
amazing thing to consider
00:02:39.42\00:02:41.56
that if you are in Christ,
God's Spirit dwells in you.
00:02:41.59\00:02:45.96
The same spirit by
which the Bible was written,
00:02:45.99\00:02:48.70
and by which
disciples performed miracles,
00:02:48.73\00:02:51.37
the same spirit who was there
when the universe was formed,
00:02:51.40\00:02:54.80
is accessible to you and to me,
00:02:54.84\00:02:56.91
to give us wisdom and insight
00:02:56.94\00:02:59.07
that we can't get any other way.
00:02:59.11\00:03:01.38
That's why I
encourage you, in fact,
00:03:01.41\00:03:03.48
I beg you to daily
seek for the Holy Spirit.
00:03:03.51\00:03:09.92
Holy Spirit,
00:03:09.95\00:03:11.72
Rain down,
00:03:11.75\00:03:16.93
Rain down
00:03:16.96\00:03:21.86
Oh, Comforter and Friend
00:03:21.90\00:03:27.24
How we need Your touch again
00:03:27.27\00:03:32.24
Holy Spirit, rain, rain down,
00:03:32.27\00:03:39.21
Rain down
00:03:39.25\00:03:43.89
Let Your power fall
Let Your voice be heard
00:03:43.92\00:03:49.49
Come and change our hearts
00:03:49.52\00:03:52.29
As we stand on Your word
00:03:52.33\00:03:55.86
Holy Spirit,
00:03:55.90\00:04:00.90
Rain down
00:04:00.94\00:04:06.07
Donald, will you pray for us?
00:04:09.64\00:04:12.45
Heavenly Father,
it's been 10 days.
00:04:12.48\00:04:16.75
We just talked
about the Last Supper,
00:04:16.79\00:04:18.49
where were they at?
00:04:18.52\00:04:20.09
They were in the upper room.
00:04:20.12\00:04:22.82
We have been 10
days in this upper room.
00:04:22.86\00:04:25.86
What an experience, Lord,
to see You work and to move
00:04:25.89\00:04:28.93
and to gather those
for this wonderful time
00:04:28.96\00:04:33.17
where we're living
and when we will see
00:04:33.20\00:04:34.94
the second
return of Jesus Christ,
00:04:34.97\00:04:36.60
we will be able
to experience, Lord,
00:04:36.64\00:04:39.77
our prayers that we've
ever prayed will be answered
00:04:39.81\00:04:42.08
when we see You face to face.
00:04:42.11\00:04:44.15
And to know, Lord, that
we can put our confidence
00:04:44.18\00:04:46.15
and trust in You as Tim alluded
to the fact of the Holy Spirit.
00:04:46.18\00:04:50.79
Lord, You sent
us the great helper,
00:04:50.82\00:04:52.52
the comforter, to
guide us along this journey.
00:04:52.55\00:04:56.06
I like what
Hebrews 12 says to us.
00:04:56.09\00:05:00.13
It says in there
"Wherefore seeing are compassed
00:05:00.16\00:05:01.66
by such a great
cloud of witnesses,
00:05:01.70\00:05:04.37
let's lay aside
every weight, and the sin
00:05:04.40\00:05:05.73
which doth so easily beset us,
00:05:05.77\00:05:07.27
and let us run with patience
the race that is set before us.
00:05:07.30\00:05:10.64
Looking unto Jesus,
00:05:10.67\00:05:12.51
the author and
finisher of our faith,
00:05:12.54\00:05:14.31
who for the joy endured
the cross, despising the shame,
00:05:14.34\00:05:17.91
is set down at the
right hand throne of God."
00:05:17.95\00:05:19.61
So thank you,
Lord, we can look to You,
00:05:19.65\00:05:22.02
and You will finish
what You've completed.
00:05:22.05\00:05:24.59
We thank You and ask
this in Jesus' name, amen.
00:05:24.62\00:05:27.59
Zechariah 4:6 says what?
00:05:30.99\00:05:33.90
"Your planning
will neither succeed
00:05:33.93\00:05:36.30
by the might of an
army, nor by human strength.
00:05:36.33\00:05:42.34
Not by might, not by power,
00:05:42.37\00:05:44.77
but by My
Spirit, " says the Lord.
00:05:44.81\00:05:48.28
Father, I thank
You that success...
00:05:48.31\00:05:52.88
doesn't come from human efforts.
00:05:52.91\00:05:54.25
So we can't take
any credit for it.
00:05:54.28\00:05:56.79
Forgive us when
we do take credit.
00:05:56.82\00:06:00.92
But first, forgive me even more
00:06:00.96\00:06:03.09
when I don't
allow Your Holy Spirit
00:06:03.12\00:06:06.56
to work through me,
00:06:06.59\00:06:09.06
revive me so...
00:06:09.10\00:06:10.43
I will recognize
You speaking to me,
00:06:13.80\00:06:18.14
and I will act.
00:06:18.17\00:06:22.21
And I will be
prepared, stay prepared,
00:06:22.24\00:06:24.78
stay with my armor...
00:06:24.81\00:06:26.15
so that I may fight...
00:06:29.28\00:06:32.25
so that I may act
according to Your will,
00:06:32.29\00:06:36.19
and according to Your
Holy Spirit's plea for me.
00:06:36.22\00:06:40.16
I love you, Lord, and all
the words that I could say,
00:06:40.20\00:06:43.77
they're just...
00:06:43.80\00:06:45.30
They're nothing compared
00:06:45.33\00:06:48.40
to my desire to
surrender to You.
00:06:48.44\00:06:52.41
So, Father, I
pray that You will...
00:06:52.44\00:06:55.18
look past my stumbling tongue.
00:06:55.21\00:06:58.35
And know my heart today...
00:06:58.38\00:07:00.88
in Jesus' name.
00:07:00.92\00:07:02.25
Amen.
00:07:02.28\00:07:03.82
Heavenly Father,
you know the shepherds
00:07:03.85\00:07:06.62
of Your flock right now...
00:07:06.65\00:07:09.72
thinking about the
time we're living in,
00:07:09.76\00:07:11.09
and sometimes this world
can just feel so overwhelming.
00:07:11.13\00:07:16.16
But it's really
00:07:16.20\00:07:17.90
the great
opportunity to share Your Word
00:07:17.93\00:07:20.00
that invigorates and strengthens
00:07:20.04\00:07:23.24
your sheep fold, Lord,
00:07:23.27\00:07:24.61
and there are many
shepherds right now that need
00:07:24.64\00:07:26.68
that strength and I
pray for these pastors
00:07:26.71\00:07:28.84
and leaders of these churches
00:07:28.88\00:07:30.98
that, Lord, You'll give
them wisdom from on high.
00:07:31.01\00:07:33.85
You anoint them
with a fresh touch
00:07:33.88\00:07:35.42
of Your Holy Spirit.
00:07:35.45\00:07:36.99
And that the words that are
in these pages of our Bibles,
00:07:37.02\00:07:39.89
Lord, will come to life,
00:07:39.92\00:07:41.69
not just to them personally
but to those whom they lead
00:07:41.72\00:07:46.36
that many souls
will hear that voice,
00:07:46.39\00:07:49.43
a good shepherd
as John 10:4 says,
00:07:49.46\00:07:51.43
"Sheep know the
shepherd by His voice."
00:07:51.47\00:07:53.80
In verse 5, "A stranger's voice,
00:07:53.84\00:07:55.17
they will not follow."
00:07:55.20\00:07:56.54
We thank You, Lord, we
ask this in Jesus' name.
00:07:56.57\00:07:58.84
Amen.
00:07:58.87\00:08:00.21
Father, I thank You that
You put us in workplaces,
00:08:03.58\00:08:10.19
that we can be a light.
00:08:10.22\00:08:11.79
Lord, like
myself, some of us have
00:08:15.06\00:08:19.89
the privilege of working
in a Christian atmosphere.
00:08:19.93\00:08:25.43
And that's nice,
00:08:25.47\00:08:28.50
but it's also
we're highly accountable
00:08:28.54\00:08:32.87
to each other and we sometimes,
00:08:32.91\00:08:37.41
we're still even though
it's a Christian atmosphere,
00:08:37.45\00:08:39.85
we are still human.
00:08:39.88\00:08:42.52
And, God, what I'm
praying is that for workers,
00:08:42.55\00:08:48.19
for the employed, for
everyone who has a job,
00:08:48.22\00:08:53.19
Lord, that You will
help us to be light and salt.
00:08:53.23\00:08:58.50
And that You will give
us wisdom to lead others
00:08:58.53\00:09:03.81
to You to live in
such a manner that...
00:09:03.84\00:09:08.71
our co-workers would
see a difference in us...
00:09:08.74\00:09:12.41
and they would
want what we have.
00:09:12.45\00:09:15.52
Father, I again,
thank you for Donald
00:09:15.55\00:09:17.59
for his knowledge of Your Word.
00:09:17.62\00:09:22.56
And I just pray God
that You would use him,
00:09:22.59\00:09:24.59
that You would
open a door for him
00:09:24.63\00:09:27.83
and give him the
opportunities, Lord,
00:09:27.86\00:09:30.43
to use what You have given him.
00:09:30.47\00:09:35.17
And I pray that
for our viewers, Lord,
00:09:35.20\00:09:37.07
for those who are
seeking an appointment,
00:09:37.11\00:09:39.24
they're just waiting for
You to put them in coach.
00:09:39.27\00:09:42.18
That's what they're
saying, put me in coach.
00:09:42.21\00:09:45.28
I pray God that You
would continue to prepare them
00:09:45.31\00:09:49.82
for work that You have.
00:09:49.85\00:09:51.19
Lord, I feel like it's time
00:09:51.22\00:09:54.39
that we all get ready to work,
00:09:54.42\00:09:59.19
if we're not already working.
00:09:59.23\00:10:01.86
God, use us for Your
glory, in Jesus' name.
00:10:01.90\00:10:07.24
Thank You, Lord, for
that word accountability
00:10:07.27\00:10:09.14
that Tim just shared.
00:10:09.17\00:10:10.51
And I just think of
so many precious souls
00:10:10.54\00:10:13.11
who are falling into
these deep pits of darkness,
00:10:13.14\00:10:17.01
the enemy's pulling them in.
00:10:17.05\00:10:19.08
But Your Word tells us
that iron sharpens iron.
00:10:19.11\00:10:23.65
So it is the man that sharpens
the comments of his friend
00:10:23.69\00:10:28.92
so, Lord, we can sharpen
the council of our friend,
00:10:28.96\00:10:30.66
as we gathered together,
00:10:30.69\00:10:32.19
we're talking
about this gathering.
00:10:32.23\00:10:34.06
And there's so
many souls who are lost
00:10:34.10\00:10:35.50
in this web of lust
and pornography addiction
00:10:35.53\00:10:38.57
and a lot of brokenness,
00:10:38.60\00:10:41.37
a lot of broken marriages,
a lot of broken families
00:10:41.40\00:10:43.94
because of this
evil plight of sin.
00:10:43.97\00:10:47.11
Lord, we just ask that
those who are like, I guess,
00:10:47.14\00:10:51.45
Joseph's, Lord,
they'll stand up.
00:10:51.48\00:10:53.55
How can I do this
thing and sin against My God
00:10:53.58\00:10:55.58
and they will lead
brothers and sisters,
00:10:55.62\00:10:58.09
I'm thinking of 1
John 3:3, it says that,
00:10:58.12\00:11:01.22
"To purify himself,
even as you Jesus are pure,
00:11:01.26\00:11:03.63
we're to purify ourselves."
00:11:03.66\00:11:04.99
I just pray, Lord, as
individuals struggling
00:11:05.03\00:11:07.20
with these particular
sins will allow you to purge
00:11:07.23\00:11:10.67
and to purify
them as Psalm 51 says,
00:11:10.70\00:11:14.77
"Purge me with
hyssop, and I shall be clean,
00:11:14.80\00:11:17.17
Wash me, and I shall
be whiter than snow."
00:11:17.21\00:11:18.97
David wanted it, he desired,
00:11:19.01\00:11:21.18
I just pray for those
that they will want it
00:11:21.21\00:11:22.54
and desire as well.
00:11:22.58\00:11:24.35
And we can get into
that kingdom one day, Lord,
00:11:24.38\00:11:26.31
and don't have to worry about
all this chaos, and craziness,
00:11:26.35\00:11:29.62
and this darkness in this world.
00:11:29.65\00:11:31.19
We thank You and
ask this in Jesus' name.
00:11:31.22\00:11:33.56
Amen.
00:11:33.59\00:11:36.59
Lord, I ask that You
would empower our children
00:11:36.62\00:11:39.16
to stand boldly for You,
00:11:39.19\00:11:41.93
especially when they encounter
obstacles and pressure.
00:11:41.96\00:11:48.04
Father God, I pray that
You would help parents to lead
00:11:48.07\00:11:52.01
and give wise counsel
to raise their children
00:11:52.04\00:11:57.55
with wisdom and with love.
00:11:57.58\00:12:00.28
So that the children
can make wise choices
00:12:00.32\00:12:02.48
when they are faced
with difficult decisions.
00:12:02.52\00:12:08.32
Lord, teach us all to
follow Your selfless example
00:12:08.36\00:12:15.03
by meeting the
needs of others around us.
00:12:15.06\00:12:19.60
Lord, we know we
have plenty opportunity
00:12:19.63\00:12:22.64
to be Your hands and feet.
00:12:22.67\00:12:26.11
So, Father, I
just ask in Jesus' name
00:12:26.14\00:12:30.55
that we would see
those opportunities
00:12:30.58\00:12:32.28
and seize them
and be all we can be.
00:12:32.31\00:12:36.79
Amen.
00:12:36.82\00:12:38.15
Heavenly Father,
I'm praying for those
00:12:38.19\00:12:40.36
that came in my mind
00:12:40.39\00:12:41.72
that maybe thinking
about bullying somebody else
00:12:41.76\00:12:43.63
and maybe hurting or
abusing somebody because
00:12:43.66\00:12:47.00
really deep down
they're really hurt.
00:12:47.03\00:12:49.50
Lord, I just ask that You'll...
00:12:49.53\00:12:51.67
send somebody to
touch their hearts.
00:12:51.70\00:12:53.57
And help them, Lord, to say
I don't have to suffer anymore.
00:12:53.60\00:12:56.77
They can cry out to You
and You'll come and help them.
00:12:56.81\00:13:01.11
I just think of
all the young people,
00:13:01.14\00:13:02.51
Lord, in this
media, and Facebook
00:13:02.54\00:13:05.75
and all this Tik Tok and
all these different things.
00:13:05.78\00:13:08.45
Lord, that so many kids can use
00:13:08.48\00:13:09.82
as a platform to
hurt one another.
00:13:09.85\00:13:12.12
I just pray that You'll
soften their hearts to see
00:13:12.15\00:13:16.09
that there's more to
life than pain and cruelty,
00:13:16.12\00:13:19.53
there's a life of love,
and peace, and of gentleness,
00:13:19.56\00:13:22.66
and it only
comes from knowing You.
00:13:22.70\00:13:24.40
We thank You, Lord, we
ask this in Jesus' name.
00:13:24.43\00:13:26.50
Amen.
00:13:26.53\00:13:29.34
I can't thank you
enough for joining us
00:13:29.37\00:13:31.67

of this wonderful
00:13:31.71\00:13:33.07

00:13:33.11\00:13:36.21
Wow! Thank you so much.
00:13:36.24\00:13:37.91
Keep praying, keep trusting,
00:13:37.95\00:13:40.42
keep letting the Holy
Spirit to control you.
00:13:40.45\00:13:43.45
In Jesus' name, amen.
00:13:43.49\00:13:44.82
