00:05:17.85\00:05:19.18 And then the second part, 00:05:19.21\00:05:20.55 if he only knew their roads would meet, 00:05:20.62\00:05:22.22 he begin to say. 00:05:22.25\00:05:23.99 And so when I hear that song, 00:05:24.02\00:05:25.85 "Our Father," 00:05:25.89\00:05:27.26 oh, even the Psalms 23, 00:05:27.29\00:05:28.79 I've often said, 00:05:28.82\00:05:30.16 if you could begin the Psalm, our Father, 00:05:30.23\00:05:32.96 then everything after that 00:05:32.99\00:05:34.30 is going to be a part of your experience. 00:05:34.36\00:05:36.06 So I praise the Lord, you know, Paul the Apostle in Romans 8:15 00:05:36.10\00:05:41.20 brings it into such sharp focus. 00:05:41.24\00:05:44.41 When he says, 00:05:44.44\00:05:45.77 "For you did not receive 00:05:45.81\00:05:47.14 the spirit of bondage again to fear, 00:05:47.18\00:05:49.81 but you received the Spirit of adoration 00:05:49.84\00:05:52.15 by whom we cry out, 00:05:52.18\00:05:54.08 'Abba, Father.' 00:05:54.12\00:05:56.85 " I remember the stories people told me. 00:05:56.89\00:05:58.69 As I was growing up, my sister would tell me stories 00:05:58.72\00:06:00.79 'cause she also was left there. 00:06:00.82\00:06:02.72 She was three years old, when I was three months old. 00:06:02.76\00:06:06.03 And they would tell me that 00:06:06.06\00:06:07.40 I would wake up at night crying for my pacifier. 00:06:07.46\00:06:09.36 I couldn't even say pacifier, said pia. 00:06:09.40\00:06:13.00 And my father 00:06:13.03\00:06:16.81 will get up at night, 00:06:16.84\00:06:18.64 go to the store and buy one for me, 00:06:18.67\00:06:20.98 just so I could sleep. 00:06:21.01\00:06:23.11 I didn't intend to do this. 00:06:23.14\00:06:25.35 He would get up and go. 00:06:25.38\00:06:26.95 And he said, "I got your pia for you." 00:06:27.02\00:06:29.98 And I, not knowing that 00:06:30.02\00:06:31.82 that hand had nothing to do with my genetics, 00:06:31.85\00:06:34.92 but years later, I'd say, the father is the one, 00:06:34.96\00:06:37.73 not just who brings the child in the world, 00:06:37.76\00:06:40.30 but the one who stays around 00:06:40.33\00:06:42.50 to see him through hard times and tough times. 00:06:42.53\00:06:44.23 And my wife can tell you a lot of who I am, 00:06:44.27\00:06:47.00 is because of my father. 00:06:47.04\00:06:48.77 So when I think about 00:06:48.80\00:06:51.71 the importance of being in a relationship with somebody 00:06:51.74\00:06:54.58 we could look at and say, "Our Father." 00:06:54.61\00:06:57.61 It gives me a joy to be able to pray. 00:06:57.65\00:06:59.81 And when we started prayer, my wife is, 00:06:59.85\00:07:03.02 you know, we pray together. 00:07:03.05\00:07:05.05 She says, 00:07:05.09\00:07:06.42 "When you begin your prayer begin by praising your father, 00:07:06.45\00:07:09.49 thanking him and honor him, and raising him up in honor." 00:07:09.52\00:07:13.53 So I think this is a great time to just say, 00:07:13.56\00:07:16.23 let's go to our father. 00:07:16.26\00:07:18.40 Years ago, I heard a story when Ellen White would pray, 00:07:18.43\00:07:20.67 she wouldn't say, "Our father," 00:07:20.74\00:07:22.70 she say, "My father." 00:07:22.74\00:07:24.57 And H.M.S. Richards Sr., 00:07:24.61\00:07:26.47 he said, I remember hearing pray in public ones, 00:07:26.51\00:07:29.24 my father, 00:07:29.28\00:07:31.01 and he said, how good it was 00:07:31.05\00:07:33.01 the Holy Spirit just filled that place. 00:07:33.05\00:07:34.65 So right now, 00:07:34.68\00:07:36.02 you know, wherever you might be, 00:07:36.05\00:07:37.89 I don't know 00:07:37.92\00:07:39.25 what's your relationship is with your father, 00:07:39.29\00:07:40.66 I know there's probably somebody's looking at this 00:07:40.69\00:07:43.63 that doesn't know. 00:07:43.66\00:07:44.99 So let's just go right now and pray and ask God. 00:07:45.03\00:07:47.10 Our Father, 00:07:47.13\00:07:49.23 our Father, my Father, which art in heaven, 00:07:49.26\00:07:54.14 but who also truly abides in our hearts, 00:07:54.20\00:07:57.61 we pause and thank You 00:07:57.64\00:07:58.97 as we think about these 10 days of prayer. 00:07:59.01\00:08:02.44 How can we pray just for 10 days, 00:08:02.48\00:08:05.18 when every morning there's something to pray about 00:08:05.21\00:08:07.08 and something to thank you for. 00:08:07.15\00:08:09.35 But thank you for being an attentive Father, 00:08:09.38\00:08:11.95 a Father who provided all of our need, 00:08:11.99\00:08:14.59 a Father who saw our journey 00:08:14.62\00:08:16.66 before it unfolded and decided to pad it. 00:08:16.69\00:08:20.76 Finding a heart of a man who had room to be a father, 00:08:20.83\00:08:24.57 who didn't care about the genetic connection, 00:08:24.60\00:08:28.14 didn't care about the financial responsibilities, 00:08:28.17\00:08:31.41 but just saw this little tender child 00:08:31.44\00:08:33.88 grasping for someone to hold on to 00:08:33.91\00:08:35.88 and he decided to step in. 00:08:35.91\00:08:38.05 And, Lord, you do the same. 00:08:38.08\00:08:39.41 You came to a broken world 00:08:39.45\00:08:40.82 who didn't know who their father was. 00:08:40.85\00:08:42.75 And You stepped in. 00:08:42.78\00:08:44.52 And You taught your disciples. 00:08:44.55\00:08:46.79 And when you pray, just don't forget, our Father. 00:08:46.86\00:08:51.13 Pray in this way, our Father which art in heaven, 00:08:51.16\00:08:53.50 so we praise you, and we thank You, Lord, 00:08:53.53\00:08:55.96 for being our father. 00:08:56.00\00:08:57.97 As that is an honor to call You, 00:08:58.00\00:08:59.40 may it be an honor that we live as Your children, 00:08:59.43\00:09:04.04 in Your precious name I pray. 00:09:04.07\00:09:06.91 Amen. 00:09:06.94\00:09:08.28 Sing Holy, Holy, Holy. 00:09:11.21\00:09:13.85 Holy, holy, 00:09:13.88\00:09:17.25 Holy 00:09:17.32\00:09:20.99 Lord God Almighty 00:09:21.02\00:09:25.43 Oh thy works Shall praise Thy name 00:09:28.53\00:09:35.14 In earth and sky and sea 00:09:35.17\00:09:40.38 Holy, holy, 00:09:43.65\00:09:47.22 Holy 00:09:47.25\00:09:50.79 Merciful and mighty 00:09:50.82\00:09:53.86 God in three persons 00:09:57.96\00:10:02.06 Blessed Trinity 00:10:05.20\00:10:08.60 Angie, I heard John say that 00:10:13.94\00:10:18.05 when you pray 00:10:18.08\00:10:19.41 that you like to start the prayer off thanking Him 00:10:19.45\00:10:22.35 and acknowledging that He is holy and that He is God. 00:10:22.38\00:10:26.39 And that's what I love about you, 00:10:26.42\00:10:28.39 especially I've been with you many times on the road 00:10:28.42\00:10:31.93 when we've been, after John has preached. 00:10:31.96\00:10:35.86 And even during I love to watch you 00:10:35.90\00:10:37.83 because you're cheering him on and you're encouraging him. 00:10:37.87\00:10:41.60 And anytime I hear you talk, you're always edifying him. 00:10:41.64\00:10:46.91 And I love that as a wife, as a pastor's wife. 00:10:46.94\00:10:51.98 And so I love that, 00:10:52.01\00:10:54.15 I think it would be appropriate in fact, 00:10:54.18\00:10:55.68 to give you this line, 00:10:55.72\00:10:57.52 "Hallowed be your name, holy be your name God," 00:10:57.55\00:11:00.69 because you are so good at loving and worshiping. 00:11:00.76\00:11:04.13 So let's proceed. Praise the Lord. 00:11:04.16\00:11:06.16 God is so good to us. 00:11:06.19\00:11:08.16 And when I look back at the name, 00:11:08.20\00:11:11.80 hallowed be your name, 00:11:11.83\00:11:14.27 I think of growing up, my mother used to say, 00:11:14.30\00:11:18.67 protect the name, protect your name, 00:11:18.71\00:11:22.31 Marr, my maiden name was Marr. 00:11:22.34\00:11:24.35 She said, "When you go out in the streets, 00:11:24.38\00:11:26.78 you carry in our family name." 00:11:26.82\00:11:29.75 And I think of that how special the name was, 00:11:29.78\00:11:34.36 and it still is to me the name. 00:11:34.39\00:11:38.13 And when I think of my Lord, 00:11:38.16\00:11:39.73 I think of hallowed be His name. 00:11:39.76\00:11:43.13 He's a mighty God, strong tower. 00:11:43.16\00:11:47.10 And it says in Psalms 18:10, 00:11:47.17\00:11:50.84 "The name of the Lord is a strong tower, 00:11:50.87\00:11:53.34 the righteous run into it and are safe." 00:11:53.41\00:11:56.11 And in Proverbs 22:1, it says, 00:11:56.14\00:11:59.65 "A good name is to be chosen, 00:11:59.68\00:12:03.42 rather than great riches." 00:12:03.49\00:12:07.36 And I believe and I trust in the name of the Lord. 00:12:07.39\00:12:11.99 It is my strong tower. 00:12:12.03\00:12:15.20 He is righteous. 00:12:15.23\00:12:16.63 He makes me clean, that name of God. 00:12:16.67\00:12:21.17 He's a sanctifier. 00:12:21.20\00:12:22.67 He's called us and set us apart. 00:12:22.70\00:12:26.74 He's a healer. 00:12:26.78\00:12:28.28 He heals all my diseases as well as yours. 00:12:28.31\00:12:33.05 He's victory. 00:12:33.08\00:12:34.72 He has defeated my enemy. 00:12:34.75\00:12:38.42 He's my shepherd. 00:12:38.45\00:12:40.12 He speaks to me and He leads me. 00:12:40.16\00:12:43.83 He's the peace in the midst of my storm. 00:12:43.89\00:12:48.33 And He's the provider. 00:12:48.36\00:12:50.50 He provides all my needs. 00:12:50.53\00:12:53.47 Let's go to the Lord in prayer. 00:12:53.50\00:12:56.57 Precious Father in heaven, 00:12:56.64\00:12:58.81 what a privilege it is to call You my Father. 00:12:58.84\00:13:03.18 You are my strong tower. 00:13:03.21\00:13:05.41 I have run into You many times. 00:13:05.45\00:13:08.98 And You have always come through. 00:13:09.02\00:13:11.92 Lord, blessed be the name of the Lord, 00:13:11.95\00:13:14.26 You're worthy to be praised and adored. 00:13:14.29\00:13:17.46 And we lift Your name on high. 00:13:17.53\00:13:20.33 Thank You, Jesus for being there. 00:13:20.40\00:13:23.26 For being there for every one of us, 00:13:23.33\00:13:25.70 every one that's viewing and listening, Lord, 00:13:25.73\00:13:28.64 help them to know that You are there. 00:13:28.67\00:13:31.21 You are their father.

00:14:33.60\00:14:37.47 We come to, 00:14:47.38\00:14:49.25 "Your kingdom come, 00:14:49.28\00:14:50.65 Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven." 00:14:50.69\00:14:53.96 And as I was thinking about this program, 00:14:54.02\00:14:56.99 I thought, 00:14:57.03\00:14:58.36 that reminds me of my boss, my President Greg Morikone, 00:14:58.39\00:15:04.97 such a humble man and a man that I... 00:15:05.00\00:15:10.21 Greg, it's been amazing. 00:15:10.24\00:15:11.67 We've got pictures over at the sound center of you 00:15:11.71\00:15:14.28 working as a printer, 00:15:14.31\00:15:16.24 you working in the mobile traveled truck unit. 00:15:16.28\00:15:21.52 You've started at the bottom of this thing. 00:15:21.55\00:15:24.32 And here you are, 00:15:24.35\00:15:27.16 now we have to get an appointment with you. 00:15:27.19\00:15:30.46 No, actually, we don't 00:15:30.53\00:15:31.86 My door is always open. 00:15:31.89\00:15:33.23 Yeah, your door is always open. 00:15:33.26\00:15:34.60 And so, you know, I think of, 00:15:34.63\00:15:38.60 "Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done," 00:15:38.63\00:15:40.94 we have our agenda. 00:15:40.97\00:15:43.67 But I know as a President of 3ABN, 00:15:43.71\00:15:46.94 you definitely, 00:15:46.98\00:15:48.54 even though you have all of us servants, 00:15:48.58\00:15:51.55 to yourself as your subjects, 00:15:51.58\00:15:53.98 we want to be in accordance to you. 00:15:54.02\00:15:56.28 We know that you follow God, as we all do. 00:15:56.32\00:15:59.19 But I think you see the correlation. 00:15:59.22\00:16:01.12 Yeah. 00:16:01.16\00:16:02.49 And thank you, Tim, you know, we're all a team together, 00:16:02.52\00:16:03.86 you know, we're all part of a family 00:16:03.89\00:16:05.23 and our goal is the same. 00:16:05.26\00:16:06.96 And, of course, yours at home, too. 00:16:07.03\00:16:08.33 And, Tim, I just want to say first, 00:16:08.36\00:16:10.00 before we talk about that part of the Lord's Prayer. 00:16:10.07\00:16:11.67 Thank you. 00:16:11.70\00:16:13.03 What a great way to start the year, 00:16:13.07\00:16:14.40 here we are in 2021. 00:16:14.44\00:16:16.00 Thank you for putting this program together. 00:16:16.04\00:16:17.54 It's a privilege and honor to be together. 00:16:17.61\00:16:18.94 And I know the family 00:16:18.97\00:16:20.31 there's a huge family here at 3ABN, 00:16:20.34\00:16:21.68 and we'd had everybody on if we could, 00:16:21.71\00:16:23.75 but what a privilege it is to serve the Lord together. 00:16:23.78\00:16:27.05 And I think back to last year, 2020, 00:16:27.12\00:16:30.59 we had no idea 00:16:30.62\00:16:31.95 when we did this program a year ago, right, 00:16:31.99\00:16:34.09 we did one for 2020 January, 00:16:34.16\00:16:37.13 we had no idea about the Coronavirus 00:16:37.16\00:16:38.79 and how that would affect the world. 00:16:38.83\00:16:41.03 And I know that a lot of people's plates, 00:16:41.06\00:16:43.00 even now probably seems so full, 00:16:43.03\00:16:46.53 don't have a job, 00:16:46.57\00:16:47.90 trying to figure out 00:16:47.94\00:16:49.27 the education situation with kids, 00:16:49.30\00:16:50.77 family members that may be sick, 00:16:50.81\00:16:52.34 family members that have died, lots of things. 00:16:52.37\00:16:55.34 But we know that 00:16:55.38\00:16:56.71 we can always trust in the Lord Jesus Christ. 00:16:56.75\00:16:58.75 And then Jill and I were talking to someone recently 00:16:58.78\00:17:00.65 that they're taking a big step in faith. 00:17:00.68\00:17:03.18 They don't have a job. 00:17:03.22\00:17:04.55 They're not sure what God has for them. 00:17:04.59\00:17:06.22 But they are standing firm, 00:17:06.25\00:17:07.69 they know that God does have something for them. 00:17:07.72\00:17:10.56 So, you know, I think about a lot of times 00:17:10.59\00:17:12.29 we have our own agendas in what we want to do, 00:17:12.33\00:17:15.86 you know, Tim, 00:17:15.90\00:17:17.27 but I like this here in the Lord's Prayer. 00:17:17.30\00:17:21.14 And if you want to find it, 00:17:21.17\00:17:22.50 there's several places in the Bible, 00:17:22.54\00:17:23.91 but Matthew Chapter 6, 00:17:23.94\00:17:25.71 and what Tim is referring to is verse 10, 00:17:25.74\00:17:28.41 it says, "Thy kingdom come, 00:17:28.44\00:17:30.78 Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven." 00:17:30.85\00:17:34.92 And I think, Tim, here, what you're talking about is, 00:17:34.95\00:17:37.99 Thy will is in God's will be done. 00:17:38.02\00:17:42.22 You know, we want, I know, I have ideas and things 00:17:42.26\00:17:45.19 that I want to do. 00:17:45.23\00:17:46.56 But when we pray, we want to say, 00:17:46.59\00:17:47.93 "God, You know the end from the beginning. 00:17:47.96\00:17:51.60 It's good for me to have plans, 00:17:51.63\00:17:52.97 but Lord, I want to trust You and You know what's best." 00:17:53.00\00:17:55.94 And then sometimes it's just, wait. 00:17:55.97\00:17:57.91 Sometimes I become impatient, Tim. 00:17:57.94\00:18:00.11 And I want to do something like right now. 00:18:00.14\00:18:02.11 But it's good to say, 00:18:02.14\00:18:03.48 "Okay, God, ultimately, it's Your kingdom. 00:18:03.51\00:18:05.51 We're here to serve You, Lord," 00:18:05.55\00:18:07.25 and just wait on Him. 00:18:07.28\00:18:08.62 So I think, 00:18:08.65\00:18:10.12 Tim, as we're looking at this year 2021, 00:18:10.15\00:18:12.62 I just want to rededicate my life to the Lord 00:18:12.65\00:18:14.56 and just say, 00:18:14.59\00:18:15.92 "Okay, I want to follow You, 00:18:15.96\00:18:17.46 no matter what challenges or things 00:18:17.49\00:18:18.83 we're facing in this life." 00:18:18.86\00:18:21.43 Ultimately, we're here to serve the Lord Jesus Christ. 00:18:21.46\00:18:24.73 So yeah, let's pray. 00:18:24.77\00:18:28.00 Father in heaven, Lord, I do thank You for this time 00:18:28.04\00:18:30.21 where we can spend this time in prayer and praise, 00:18:30.24\00:18:33.91 opening Your Word, 00:18:33.98\00:18:35.64 spending this time with some of our family 00:18:35.68\00:18:37.45 here at 3ABN, 00:18:37.48\00:18:38.81 but also with those that are viewing 00:18:38.85\00:18:40.85 and listening right now. 00:18:40.92\00:18:42.45 I don't know what everyone has faced this past year, 00:18:42.48\00:18:44.89 but You do. 00:18:44.92\00:18:46.35 And I liked what Pastor John was talking about earlier, 00:18:46.39\00:18:48.52 talking about his father here on this earth, 00:18:48.56\00:18:52.49 and how his father heard his cry for a pacifier 00:18:52.53\00:18:56.63 and did all that he could to provide that to Pastor John 00:18:56.67\00:18:59.03 when he was just a little baby. 00:18:59.07\00:19:01.07 And, Lord, we think about You as a God, 00:19:01.10\00:19:02.57 one that is holy, holy, holy, 00:19:02.60\00:19:05.21 but also one 00:19:05.24\00:19:06.57 that is willing to figuratively give us that pacifier to 00:19:06.61\00:19:10.68 when we cry and to help us whatever our need is. 00:19:10.71\00:19:13.21 Thank You, 00:19:13.25\00:19:14.58 O Father, for being that kind 00:19:14.62\00:19:16.35 and wonderful and gracious Father. 00:19:16.38\00:19:19.99 And, Lord, this year that we're in, 00:19:20.02\00:19:22.82 we just want Your priorities to supersede anything 00:19:22.86\00:19:26.06 that we have. 00:19:26.09\00:19:28.40 So my own personal life and, 00:19:28.43\00:19:30.50 of course, the Ministry of 3ABN, 00:19:30.57\00:19:31.97 Lord, we just dedicate to you. 00:19:32.00\00:19:34.17 For it is Yours, 00:19:34.24\00:19:35.57 and we are here 00:19:35.60\00:19:36.94 as vessels that You can pour through to others. 00:19:36.97\00:19:40.88 We thank You for hearing 00:19:40.91\00:19:42.24 and answering all of our prayers 00:19:42.28\00:19:43.88 and in Jesus name we pray, amen. 00:19:43.95\00:19:45.98 Amen. 00:19:46.01\00:19:47.35 Pardon for sin 00:19:53.56\00:19:57.33 and a peace that endureth 00:19:57.36\00:20:02.60 Thine own dear presence To cheer 00:20:02.63\00:20:08.07 And to guide 00:20:08.10\00:20:12.01 Strength for today 00:20:12.04\00:20:15.88 And bright hope for tomorrow 00:20:15.91\00:20:22.35 Blessings all mine, 00:20:22.38\00:20:25.65 With ten thousand beside 00:20:25.69\00:20:30.19 Sing with me, guys. 00:20:30.23\00:20:32.39 Great is Thy faithfulness 00:20:32.43\00:20:37.53 Great is Thy faithfulness 00:20:37.57\00:20:42.70 Morning by morning 00:20:42.74\00:20:46.81 new mercies I see 00:20:46.84\00:20:52.81 All I have needed 00:20:52.85\00:20:57.22 Thy hand hath provided 00:20:57.25\00:21:03.43 Great is Thy faithfulness, 00:21:03.46\00:21:08.90 Lord, unto me 00:21:08.93\00:21:13.40 The line in the Lord's Prayer that says, 00:21:18.31\00:21:21.54 "Give us this day our daily bread." 00:21:21.58\00:21:26.98 I know for myself 00:21:27.02\00:21:28.38 I forget to take this literally 00:21:28.42\00:21:31.45 because it says, this day our daily bread. 00:21:31.49\00:21:35.22 I can go to the store and stock up 00:21:35.26\00:21:37.89 and, you know, we have a lot of people 00:21:37.93\00:21:39.33 who in times of angst and uncertainty, 00:21:39.36\00:21:45.17 they'll store up their closet full of goods, dried goods, 00:21:45.20\00:21:50.87 and canned goods, and just... 00:21:50.91\00:21:53.44 And I think we sometimes, you know, 00:21:53.51\00:21:55.94 we let our scaredyness get us beyond this. 00:21:55.98\00:22:02.78 We could beyond what's today. 00:22:02.82\00:22:06.96 But I know that, Jill, 00:22:06.99\00:22:08.99 as COO, as Vice President of 3ABN 00:22:09.02\00:22:14.56 you and Greg both, 00:22:14.56\00:22:16.50 you are constantly looking to God 00:22:16.53\00:22:20.30 for just get us through today. 00:22:20.34\00:22:22.54 And yet you've got an eye to the future. 00:22:22.57\00:22:25.27 But you are definitely saying, 00:22:25.31\00:22:27.34 "Give us this day what we need to get through." 00:22:27.38\00:22:30.51 And so I think it might be great for you 00:22:30.55\00:22:32.48 to address this line in the prayer. 00:22:32.51\00:22:37.25 It's a privilege to share with each one of you, 00:22:37.29\00:22:39.55 privilege to open up the New Year 00:22:39.59\00:22:41.16 with that rededication 00:22:41.19\00:22:42.52 and reconsecration to the Lord Jesus 00:22:42.56\00:22:44.53 and a privilege to share with you at home. 00:22:44.56\00:22:47.13 You're a part of the 3ABN family 00:22:47.20\00:22:48.96 and we're just so grateful for that. 00:22:49.00\00:22:51.87 This line, 00:22:51.90\00:22:53.27 "Give us this day our daily bread, " 00:22:53.30\00:22:55.20 is interesting to me 00:22:55.24\00:22:56.57 'cause sometimes when I pray, I want to start there. 00:22:56.64\00:23:00.11 Do you ever there? 00:23:00.18\00:23:01.51 Okay, God, give me, right? 00:23:01.54\00:23:03.85 Our initial prayer 00:23:03.88\00:23:05.21 when we come into God's presence is, 00:23:05.25\00:23:07.12 I want this, I need this, give me this. 00:23:07.15\00:23:10.59 But you notice 00:23:10.62\00:23:11.95 it's in the middle of the Lord's Prayer. 00:23:11.99\00:23:13.79 It didn't start with, 00:23:13.86\00:23:15.29 "Give us this day." 00:23:15.32\00:23:16.66 It started with, 00:23:16.73\00:23:18.13 who are we and who is God, He is our father. 00:23:18.16\00:23:22.16 It starts with praising Him 00:23:22.20\00:23:24.87 and accepting His will 00:23:24.90\00:23:28.94 in our lives. 00:23:28.97\00:23:32.34 Once we reach that place of surrender, 00:23:32.37\00:23:34.98 once we recognize who He is, 00:23:35.01\00:23:38.05 then we're in a position to make our petition known, 00:23:38.08\00:23:42.62 to request of Him. 00:23:42.65\00:23:44.52 And the thing I love in this passage, 00:23:44.55\00:23:46.92 of course, there's literal bread. 00:23:46.96\00:23:48.72 And we need that every day. 00:23:48.76\00:23:53.86 You think about many times in the Bible times, 00:23:53.90\00:23:56.36 they were paid daily. 00:23:56.40\00:23:58.53 They didn't make a lot 00:23:58.57\00:23:59.90 and they would be paid at the end of the day, 00:24:00.04\00:24:02.17 their wages, 00:24:02.20\00:24:03.54 meaning they just got enough for bread for the next day. 00:24:03.61\00:24:06.98 It was just what they needed. 00:24:07.01\00:24:09.84 And many times we come to God saying, 00:24:09.88\00:24:11.88 but I want this 00:24:11.91\00:24:13.25 and next month, I'm going to need that 00:24:13.28\00:24:14.88 and next year, I'm going to need that. 00:24:14.92\00:24:17.12 But what He promises us is what we need for today. 00:24:17.19\00:24:22.59 But I see another analogy in this, 00:24:22.62\00:24:25.19 not just physical bread, 00:24:25.23\00:24:27.60 not just the necessities that we need, but spiritually. 00:24:27.66\00:24:33.30 Jesus said in John 6:34, 00:24:33.34\00:24:35.80 "I am the bread of life." 00:24:35.84\00:24:39.77 And you think about in Matthew 4, 00:24:39.81\00:24:41.44 the temptations. 00:24:41.48\00:24:42.88 And when Satan came to Him, to Jesus, and said, 00:24:42.91\00:24:45.98 "Turn these stones into bread." 00:24:46.01\00:24:48.75 And He said, "It is written, 00:24:48.78\00:24:50.15 'Man shall not live by bread alone,' 00:24:50.19\00:24:51.59 but by every word 00:24:51.62\00:24:54.32 that proceeds from the mouth of God.' " 00:24:54.36\00:24:56.79 So every day we are called to come into His presence 00:24:56.83\00:25:00.33 and say, 00:25:00.36\00:25:01.66 "God, I'm broken. I am weak. 00:25:01.70\00:25:05.53 I need you. 00:25:05.57\00:25:06.97 I need spiritual strength just for today. 00:25:07.04\00:25:11.41 Not for tomorrow. 00:25:11.44\00:25:12.77 But I need it for today." 00:25:12.81\00:25:16.08 Are you feeling weak in this New Year? 00:25:16.11\00:25:18.41 Do you feel like, 00:25:18.45\00:25:19.91 "I need help, I need grace, I need strength"? 00:25:19.95\00:25:23.62 Do you need peace in your life? 00:25:23.69\00:25:26.49 God has promised that He will give you what you need 00:25:26.52\00:25:29.66 just for today. 00:25:29.69\00:25:32.19 Maybe today you don't know 00:25:32.23\00:25:33.80 where tomorrow's food is going to come from. 00:25:33.83\00:25:36.77 Maybe you don't know... 00:25:36.83\00:25:39.77 Maybe you lost your job due to COVID, 00:25:39.80\00:25:41.60 maybe you lost a family member and you're struggling in that. 00:25:41.64\00:25:46.94 Psalm 121, 00:25:46.98\00:25:48.78 "I will lift up my eyes to the hills." 00:25:48.81\00:25:52.95 Why do we do that? 00:25:52.98\00:25:54.32 "From whence cometh my help," your help comes from Jesus. 00:25:54.35\00:25:58.89 We can think we depend on the government. 00:25:58.92\00:26:01.22 We can think we depend on the church. 00:26:01.26\00:26:03.56 We can think we depend on other people, 00:26:03.59\00:26:06.66 but none of that. 00:26:06.73\00:26:08.03 We depend solely on the Lord Jesus Christ. 00:26:08.06\00:26:11.73 Our help comes from the Lord. Why? 00:26:11.77\00:26:15.00 Because He made heaven and earth, 00:26:15.04\00:26:16.71 because He owns the cattle on a thousand hills, 00:26:16.74\00:26:20.18 because He sees your need right now, 00:26:20.21\00:26:23.45 and because He wants to hear, because He wants to answer. 00:26:23.48\00:26:27.68 Let's go to Him right now in prayer. 00:26:27.72\00:26:30.02 Holy Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus. 00:26:30.09\00:26:34.69 We need You. 00:26:34.72\00:26:36.16 God, would You give us this day our daily bread? 00:26:36.19\00:26:41.90 I'm praying right now 00:26:41.93\00:26:43.26 for my brothers and sisters, those watching, 00:26:43.33\00:26:46.74 maybe that mama with those babies 00:26:46.80\00:26:51.64 and she's on her knees crying before You. 00:26:51.67\00:26:55.11 God, would You just give me bread to feed them, 00:26:55.14\00:26:58.11 just for today? 00:26:58.15\00:26:59.55 God, would You look upon her? Would You hear her cry? 00:26:59.58\00:27:04.12 And would You fulfill her need just now? 00:27:04.15\00:27:08.02 I think of, Father, 00:27:08.06\00:27:09.39 that husband who maybe lost his job 00:27:09.42\00:27:11.49 and wants to provide for his family 00:27:11.53\00:27:14.03 but he's not able to. 00:27:14.10\00:27:15.63 God, would You stand in the gap? 00:27:15.66\00:27:19.03 Would You provide the needs of that family? 00:27:19.07\00:27:22.37 I'm thinking of my brothers and sisters who spiritually, 00:27:22.40\00:27:25.97 maybe they need strength. 00:27:26.01\00:27:27.38 God, we need strength, we need hope. 00:27:27.41\00:27:30.25 We need grace. 00:27:30.28\00:27:32.28 Whatever our need is right now, 00:27:32.31\00:27:36.38 God, would You supply it? 00:27:36.42\00:27:40.16 Thank You that You hear. Thank You that You answer. 00:27:40.19\00:27:45.39 Thank You that we can trust You 00:27:45.43\00:27:47.96 with the little things in our lives 00:27:47.96\00:27:49.76 and the big things. 00:27:49.80\00:27:51.47 And we lay before You our needs, 00:27:51.50\00:27:55.70 knowing that 00:27:55.74\00:27:57.37 You are going to do exceeding abundantly 00:27:57.41\00:28:01.58 above all that we can ever ask or think. 00:28:01.61\00:28:05.75 And we thank You in Jesus' name. 00:28:05.78\00:28:08.95 Amen. 00:28:08.98\00:28:10.32 Amen. 00:28:10.35\00:28:11.69 Jesus! 00:28:29.40\00:28:30.97 What a Friend for sinners 00:28:31.01\00:28:35.31 Jesus! Lover of my soul 00:28:35.34\00:28:41.45 Friends may fail me, Foes assail me 00:28:41.48\00:28:47.06 He, my Savior, Makes me whole 00:28:47.09\00:28:52.16 Hallelujah! 00:28:52.19\00:28:53.60 Hallelujah! 00:28:53.63\00:28:56.50 What a Savior 00:28:56.53\00:28:59.53 Hallelujah! 00:28:59.57\00:29:02.57 What a Friend 00:29:02.60\00:29:05.71 Saving, helping, keeping, loving 00:29:05.74\00:29:12.18 He is with me to the end 00:29:12.21\00:29:18.72 We have just a couple of other lines 00:29:22.22\00:29:24.39 in this prayer. 00:29:24.43\00:29:27.76 And so, Ryan, it was between me and you. 00:29:27.83\00:29:31.63 And whenever I just kind of flipped a coin 00:29:31.67\00:29:35.87 and then your name came up on, 00:29:35.90\00:29:38.54 "Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors." 00:29:38.57\00:29:40.81 And I thought, well, you know, 00:29:40.88\00:29:42.31 I think you're going through some school right now, 00:29:42.34\00:29:44.35 aren't you? 00:29:44.38\00:29:45.75 And... It's true. 00:29:45.78\00:29:47.12 Don't you probably have a line in there 00:29:47.15\00:29:48.78 where you could pray for some forgiveness of debt 00:29:48.82\00:29:52.29 on your school debt? 00:29:52.32\00:29:53.66 That's true. 00:29:53.69\00:29:55.02 Maybe this does apply to you 00:29:55.06\00:29:56.39 more than just luck of the draw. 00:29:56.42\00:29:58.13 Right. Right. Yeah. 00:29:58.16\00:29:59.79 If anyone who's been a college student 00:29:59.83\00:30:01.70 unless you had a full ride all the way through, 00:30:01.73\00:30:05.00 you want some scholarships, 00:30:05.03\00:30:07.30 that I can resonate with that thought. 00:30:07.34\00:30:10.87 But yeah, 00:30:10.91\00:30:13.58 this part of the scripture says, 00:30:13.64\00:30:14.98 "Forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors." 00:30:15.01\00:30:21.22 It's conditional. 00:30:21.25\00:30:22.58 You know, when I think of this part of this prayer, 00:30:30.96\00:30:35.00 there's many people that don't fully understand 00:30:39.50\00:30:42.67 the significance of this. 00:30:42.70\00:30:45.17 I think forgiveness is probably 00:30:45.21\00:30:47.94 one of the hardest aspects of life 00:30:47.98\00:30:50.18 for many people. 00:30:50.21\00:30:51.55 It's one of those things 00:30:51.58\00:30:52.91 that you hear a lot of people say, 00:30:52.95\00:30:54.28 "You know, I don't think I could ever forgive you." 00:30:54.32\00:30:56.08 Or, you know, there's people 00:30:56.12\00:30:57.75 that struggle with even forgiving themselves. 00:30:57.79\00:31:00.69 And, but forgiveness exists because of love. 00:31:00.76\00:31:07.60 And love only exists because of God. 00:31:07.60\00:31:11.50 And that's why I love 1 John 1:9, 00:31:11.53\00:31:14.14 because it gives us 00:31:14.20\00:31:16.44 the very foundational truth of forgiveness, 00:31:16.47\00:31:22.48 that, "If we confess our sins, 00:31:22.51\00:31:24.75 He is faithful 00:31:24.78\00:31:26.11 and just to forgive us our sins." 00:31:26.15\00:31:29.42 And it's a package deal, Pastor. 00:31:29.45\00:31:32.52 Jesus didn't die on the cross just to forgive us, 00:31:32.55\00:31:36.26 but to also cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 00:31:36.29\00:31:41.13 You know, Jesus makes it very clear that 00:31:41.16\00:31:46.67 if we cannot forgive others, 00:31:46.70\00:31:50.44 then He can't forgive us. 00:31:50.47\00:31:52.31 That's a serious thing. That's a salvation thing. 00:31:52.34\00:31:55.51 And, you know, there may be someone at home right now 00:31:55.54\00:31:57.51 that you're struggling with forgiving someone, 00:31:57.58\00:32:01.35 someone's hurt you, 00:32:01.38\00:32:03.69 someone's done something that you cannot even possibly... 00:32:03.72\00:32:09.32 You can't possibly think of forgiveness 00:32:09.36\00:32:11.29 because it's too hard to comprehend. 00:32:11.33\00:32:15.56 There's times in my life 00:32:15.60\00:32:16.93 when I have perhaps been done wrong, 00:32:16.97\00:32:20.94 perhaps I have done wrong to someone. 00:32:20.97\00:32:23.67 And in the end, 00:32:23.71\00:32:27.98 everyone desires forgiveness. 00:32:28.01\00:32:31.78 But it's a gift. 00:32:31.81\00:32:33.15 It's a gift granted to us. 00:32:33.18\00:32:34.52 What humbles me, when I think of forgiveness, 00:32:39.12\00:32:43.32 is when I think about how 00:32:43.39\00:32:46.70 none of us deserve forgiveness. 00:32:46.76\00:32:50.40 And you hear some people say that, you know, 00:32:50.43\00:32:51.83 "That person doesn't deserve forgiveness, 00:32:51.87\00:32:53.87 so I'm not forgiving them." 00:32:53.90\00:32:55.77 But yet you and I don't deserve forgiveness 00:32:55.80\00:32:58.37 because we nailed the Son of God 00:32:58.41\00:33:00.58 to a cross with our sins. 00:33:00.61\00:33:03.18 And I certainly don't deserve forgiveness 00:33:03.21\00:33:07.75 for what I have done to Him. 00:33:07.78\00:33:10.89 But Jesus is the example. 00:33:10.92\00:33:13.29 He rises above all of our sins, 00:33:13.36\00:33:16.22 all of our problems, all of our guilt. 00:33:16.26\00:33:18.89 And He pours out that love. 00:33:18.93\00:33:21.06 And He says, I'm willing to forgive and to forget, 00:33:21.10\00:33:25.10 if you can forgive others, 00:33:25.13\00:33:27.64 for what they have done to you. 00:33:27.67\00:33:30.37 I mentioned earlier, 00:33:30.41\00:33:31.74 maybe you're having a tough time 00:33:31.77\00:33:33.11 forgiving yourself for something 00:33:33.14\00:33:34.48 that you've done in the past, 00:33:34.51\00:33:37.35 replace it in the hands of Jesus. 00:33:37.41\00:33:39.85 That's why this prayer exists. 00:33:39.88\00:33:41.22 That's why Jesus prayed this prayer. 00:33:41.25\00:33:43.25 It's a model prayer 00:33:43.28\00:33:45.12 that we can trust in the fact 00:33:45.15\00:33:46.62 that if we call out to God and say, 00:33:46.65\00:33:48.22 "Lord, forgive us." 00:33:48.26\00:33:51.63 I think of publican beating His chest. 00:33:51.66\00:33:56.26 Lord, forgive me a sinner, right? 00:33:56.30\00:34:00.74 I think of the father running to that prodigal son, 00:34:00.77\00:34:05.24 he didn't deserve forgiveness, right? 00:34:05.27\00:34:07.91 He was running to that son because he loved him. 00:34:07.94\00:34:13.21 And in that father's eyes, he deserved forgiveness 00:34:13.25\00:34:16.08 because of the love he had for him. 00:34:16.12\00:34:17.89 I think of that young woman 00:34:17.92\00:34:19.52 laying on the ground at the feet of Jesus, 00:34:19.55\00:34:21.89 people picking up stones 00:34:21.92\00:34:23.56 about to give her what she deserved. 00:34:23.63\00:34:27.30 Jesus wasn't going to have that. 00:34:27.30\00:34:29.93 Jesus said, 00:34:29.96\00:34:31.30 "Where are those who condemn you?" 00:34:31.33\00:34:33.74 They're not there. 00:34:33.80\00:34:35.34 "Neither do I condemn you. 00:34:35.37\00:34:37.67 Go and sin no more." 00:34:37.71\00:34:39.17 That's the gospel, 00:34:39.21\00:34:40.94 the very heart of the loving heart of God 00:34:40.98\00:34:44.88 and bursts with forgiveness. 00:34:44.91\00:34:47.75 And so, I want to pray right now. 00:34:47.78\00:34:50.29 I want to pray for those at home 00:34:50.35\00:34:52.22 that are struggling with this. 00:34:52.25\00:34:54.49 Pray for those 00:34:54.52\00:34:55.89 that may be struggling forgiving themselves 00:34:55.92\00:34:58.69 or dealing with the very concept 00:34:58.73\00:35:00.23 of forgiveness in general. 00:35:00.26\00:35:02.50 God can soften your heart when you can bring answers. 00:35:02.53\00:35:05.07 Let's pray. 00:35:05.10\00:35:06.43 Our Father in heaven, 00:35:11.21\00:35:12.54 Lord, You're so mighty and You're so wonderful. 00:35:15.84\00:35:19.48 And there's not a single soul on this planet 00:35:22.08\00:35:25.42 that can deny Your goodness. 00:35:25.45\00:35:26.89 Lord, You showed us how to forgive. 00:35:32.59\00:35:34.20 But the reality is, there's some people here 00:35:37.23\00:35:40.34 that may be watching this program, 00:35:40.40\00:35:41.94 that may just be trying to muster up 00:35:43.97\00:35:45.74 all the strength they can to get on their knees 00:35:45.77\00:35:49.21 and even utter a prayer to You at this moment 00:35:49.24\00:35:53.58 that are struggling with forgiveness. 00:35:53.62\00:35:57.55 And, Lord, we know how important that is to You. 00:35:57.59\00:36:01.16 We know that it's a life or death situation 00:36:01.19\00:36:06.46 that You want to see all of Your people saved. 00:36:06.49\00:36:11.97 And we have to learn to forgive. 00:36:12.00\00:36:13.54 So, Lord, I pray for that person right now 00:36:16.57\00:36:18.47 who may be experiencing the pain, 00:36:18.51\00:36:22.08 the heartache, 00:36:22.11\00:36:24.78 may be going through trials and tribulations. 00:36:24.81\00:36:28.85 And whatever wall 00:36:28.88\00:36:30.22 that has been built in their life 00:36:30.29\00:36:31.62 that's preventing them 00:36:31.65\00:36:34.62 from to forgive. 00:36:34.66\00:36:37.33 Lord, You're master at dealing with those walls. 00:36:37.36\00:36:43.00 With Your love, Lord, anyone can forgive, 00:36:43.03\00:36:47.64 even the hardest most difficult scenarios. 00:36:47.67\00:36:51.71 And, Lord, there may be someone right now 00:36:51.74\00:36:53.07 who is struggling to forgive themselves 00:36:53.11\00:36:55.34 for whatever they have done, 00:36:55.38\00:36:57.25 whatever they have participated in, 00:36:57.31\00:36:59.11 or whatever has occurred in their life. 00:36:59.15\00:37:01.28 Father, we pray right now in Jesus' name for that person. 00:37:01.32\00:37:05.89 Because some people cannot even begin to grasp pure love, 00:37:05.92\00:37:09.76 the love of the cross, love of the Son of God. 00:37:09.79\00:37:14.40 But they can't stop for a moment and realize 00:37:14.46\00:37:16.30 that Jesus also died 00:37:16.33\00:37:18.83 for whatever sins 00:37:18.87\00:37:20.24 that may have occurred in their life 00:37:20.27\00:37:21.60 that's preventing them from forgiving themselves. 00:37:21.64\00:37:23.61 Lord, do Your mighty work 00:37:26.91\00:37:29.41 in the hearts and minds of all of us. 00:37:29.44\00:37:33.15 Give us godly mercy, 00:37:33.18\00:37:35.52 a godly meekness, 00:37:35.55\00:37:36.99 a spirit of humility, 00:37:38.69\00:37:41.06 to be like Jesus, 00:37:41.09\00:37:44.03 and to forgive others, their debts 00:37:44.06\00:37:49.00 so that You can forgive our debts. 00:37:49.03\00:37:53.80 We placed this situation in Your hands, Lord. 00:37:53.84\00:37:57.31 And we ask this in confidence 00:37:57.37\00:37:58.71 and in the name of Jesus Christ. 00:37:58.74\00:38:00.51 Amen. 00:38:00.54\00:38:03.24 Thank you, Ryan. 00:38:03.28\00:38:06.85 We come to the last line in the prayer that says, 00:38:06.88\00:38:09.98 "Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, " 00:38:10.02\00:38:13.82 or from the evil one. 00:38:13.89\00:38:16.76 And I know a lot of people have, 00:38:16.79\00:38:20.43 they're opposed to the idea 00:38:20.46\00:38:22.76 that a loving God would have a devil in the world, 00:38:22.80\00:38:28.70 and it just doesn't make sense. 00:38:28.74\00:38:33.48 But Ephesians 6:12 says, 00:38:33.51\00:38:37.15 "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood." 00:38:37.18\00:38:39.81 In other words, 00:38:39.85\00:38:41.18 we don't wrestle against each other, 00:38:41.22\00:38:42.58 but against principalities, against powers, 00:38:42.62\00:38:45.42 against the rulers of the darkness of this age, 00:38:45.45\00:38:48.06 against spiritual hosts of wickedness 00:38:48.09\00:38:50.13 in the heavenly places. 00:38:50.16\00:38:52.46 And we are also told in the Bible that 00:38:52.49\00:38:55.93 Satan roams like a lion 00:38:55.96\00:38:58.47 seeking whom He may devour. 00:38:58.50\00:39:00.27 And I have a coworker that we often say, though, 00:39:04.97\00:39:11.45 even though we know that Satan is real, 00:39:11.48\00:39:15.12 and evil is a real force. 00:39:15.15\00:39:19.32 Sometimes we are... 00:39:19.35\00:39:22.69 It's like, Satan sometimes it's no big deal. 00:39:22.72\00:39:25.46 It's us that we have the trouble with. 00:39:25.49\00:39:27.56 We know our tendencies. 00:39:27.60\00:39:30.67 We know our own way. 00:39:30.70\00:39:32.50 Sometimes I feel like I'm rotten to the core. 00:39:36.94\00:39:40.48 But we have a Savior, 00:39:40.51\00:39:43.35 whose blood cleanses us from all sin, 00:39:43.38\00:39:46.85 and I am eternally grateful and it is because of Him 00:39:46.92\00:39:50.69 that we can have eternity to be grateful. 00:39:50.72\00:39:55.96 But I was listening to a pastor recently. 00:39:55.99\00:39:59.63 He was preaching on this line. 00:39:59.66\00:40:02.50 And he used a great example of a child, 00:40:02.53\00:40:07.14 in this case, it was a son 00:40:07.20\00:40:08.74 who was raised in a Christian home, 00:40:08.77\00:40:11.81 and he was going the right path. 00:40:11.84\00:40:14.91 And then he made a decision to do something wrong. 00:40:14.94\00:40:20.72 And, in fact, the preacher used a graphic 00:40:20.78\00:40:25.75 that looks like this. 00:40:25.79\00:40:27.42 My drawing isn't exactly symmetrical. 00:40:27.46\00:40:29.62 But anyway, 00:40:29.66\00:40:31.33 and so he talked about how the child starts walking, 00:40:31.36\00:40:33.96 and he'll walk down, and then he will go down this path 00:40:34.00\00:40:40.17 that would lead to Satan or to wrong, 00:40:40.20\00:40:43.27 and instead of choosing this path, 00:40:43.34\00:40:45.54 which would lead to the right way, God. 00:40:45.57\00:40:49.04 And the son actually said, 00:40:49.08\00:40:51.68 "Oh, Dad, it's really like this." 00:40:51.71\00:40:53.75 And he turned the paper sideways. 00:40:53.78\00:40:56.15 And he said, 00:40:56.18\00:40:57.95 "I'm walking along, doing the right thing. 00:40:57.99\00:41:00.29 And then I get to that fork in the road. 00:41:00.36\00:41:04.86 It's like the pole, it's easier to go downhill. 00:41:04.89\00:41:08.46 And so I just start going down. 00:41:08.50\00:41:11.20 And then, by the time I realize I'm going down, to go up, 00:41:11.23\00:41:16.07 I would have to go back up here and climb up here." 00:41:16.10\00:41:20.34 All that to say, we know that force of gravity is strong, 00:41:20.38\00:41:24.68 and it's really strong in time of temptations. 00:41:24.71\00:41:29.05 I don't know of anyone, no matter how pious, 00:41:29.08\00:41:32.32 no matter how well Bible studied they are, 00:41:32.35\00:41:38.59 who isn't tempted. 00:41:38.63\00:41:40.30 Because the Bible says even our Savior was tempted. 00:41:40.36\00:41:44.00 It says that He succeeded in not giving into it. 00:41:44.03\00:41:47.10 But I'm grateful that 00:41:47.17\00:41:51.54 you and I have a Savior, again, 00:41:51.57\00:41:54.54 who loves us 00:41:54.58\00:41:56.11 and He will forgive us of our sin. 00:41:56.14\00:41:59.01 And so I just want to pray for those of you 00:42:02.08\00:42:04.02 who think maybe you have gone so far, 00:42:04.09\00:42:07.92 that God can't forgive you. 00:42:07.96\00:42:11.39 You can't go that far. 00:42:11.43\00:42:13.03 I really believe that. 00:42:13.06\00:42:15.00 Because if you desire His forgiveness, 00:42:15.03\00:42:19.40 that's the key right there. 00:42:19.43\00:42:21.70 So I just want to and naturally, 00:42:21.74\00:42:25.61 I mean, that would be my prayer 00:42:25.64\00:42:27.88 is that I would never be led into temptation, 00:42:27.91\00:42:31.75 and be delivered from evil. 00:42:31.78\00:42:35.25 Because I'd rather be delivered from it, 00:42:35.28\00:42:37.82 than have to go through it. 00:42:37.85\00:42:39.19 And then, definitely have to go through the repercussions 00:42:39.22\00:42:41.86 of having gone through it. 00:42:41.89\00:42:44.23 But I just want to pray for you and for all of us, 00:42:44.29\00:42:48.83 that we, especially in these days, 00:42:48.86\00:42:52.37 that we fight temptation, 00:42:52.40\00:42:54.80 our strength, 00:42:54.84\00:42:57.24 we will rely on the strength of God, 00:42:57.27\00:42:59.27 to fight temptation, 00:42:59.31\00:43:01.44 but to know that He will forgive, 00:43:01.48\00:43:04.75 that He loves you. 00:43:04.78\00:43:06.11 And so let's just pray. 00:43:06.15\00:43:07.88 Father God, 00:43:07.92\00:43:09.62 Lord, You are so wonderful, so faithful, so patient, kind 00:43:09.65\00:43:13.46 and a tender loving God. 00:43:13.49\00:43:16.26 And I want to thank You for the times 00:43:16.29\00:43:19.86 that I have even led myself into temptation. 00:43:19.89\00:43:23.00 Lord, I love the fact that Your Word declares that really, 00:43:23.03\00:43:27.70 there's not a place that 00:43:27.74\00:43:29.10 You give us that way out actually. 00:43:34.04\00:43:37.25 And so many times, God, I regret saying 00:43:37.31\00:43:41.45 that I can analyze it and look back 00:43:41.48\00:43:45.69 after I have even given into a sin. 00:43:45.72\00:43:48.36 I see that place where You were faithful, 00:43:48.39\00:43:51.96 You were like knocking on my window, saying, 00:43:51.99\00:43:55.46 "Why don't you do this instead?" 00:43:55.50\00:43:58.53 Oh, God, I just pray that You will give us the strength 00:43:58.57\00:44:01.97 to resist temptation, to turn from it. 00:44:02.00\00:44:07.18 Because we are promised that 00:44:07.21\00:44:09.14 Satan will flee if we resist it. 00:44:09.18\00:44:12.41 Oh, God, You are good to us so faithful, 00:44:12.45\00:44:14.85 and yet, when we do give in, You don't throw us away. 00:44:14.88\00:44:21.02 You pick up the pieces and You forgive us. 00:44:21.06\00:44:24.33 So, Father God, I just asked that 00:44:25.83\00:44:27.93 You will minister to that heart 00:44:27.96\00:44:29.96 that they'd long 00:44:30.03\00:44:33.80 for a 7th, and the 15th, 00:44:33.84\00:44:38.17 and a 500th chance, 00:44:38.21\00:44:43.61 they think it's that that would be asking too much. 00:44:43.65\00:44:47.28 But, God, I just ask that You will let them know 00:44:47.32\00:44:51.05 that You love us so much. 00:44:51.09\00:44:53.72 You're in this for us to win. 00:44:53.76\00:44:56.99 And so I give You praise for being a God 00:44:57.03\00:45:03.16 who is above temptation yourself 00:45:03.20\00:45:05.37 so that we can be like You. 00:45:05.40\00:45:07.14 I pray that You will lead us not into temptation, 00:45:07.17\00:45:09.84 but deliver us from evil. 00:45:09.87\00:45:12.71 Thank You in Jesus' name. 00:45:12.74\00:45:16.54 So many of you know that there's a song, 00:45:16.58\00:45:19.55 that is the "Lord's Prayer." 00:45:19.58\00:45:20.92 And I think 00:45:20.95\00:45:22.28 it'd be only proper for Ryan to sing that. 00:45:22.32\00:45:27.96 So make this your prayer. 00:45:27.99\00:45:29.32 Our Father 00:45:36.46\00:45:40.94 Which art in heaven 00:45:48.18\00:45:52.78 Hallowed be 00:45:57.99\00:46:00.49 Thy name 00:46:06.29\00:46:09.66 Thy kingdom come 00:46:15.57\00:46:19.17 Thy will be done 00:46:23.58\00:46:27.65 On earth 00:46:30.79\00:46:35.69 As it is in heaven

00:47:25.51\00:47:30.15 And lead us not into temptation 00:47:39.79\00:47:46.80 But deliver us from evil 00:47:46.83\00:47:50.53 For thine is the kingdom 00:47:54.87\00:47:58.44 And the power

Wonderful. 00:48:47.16\00:48:48.96 So I think it would only be appropriate 00:48:48.99\00:48:51.29 to take that last line, 00:48:51.33\00:48:54.36 "For thine is the kingdom, and the power, 00:48:54.40\00:48:56.30 and the glory forever." 00:48:56.33\00:48:59.23 And let's just each one of us take a moment 00:48:59.27\00:49:01.94 just to thank God that, 00:49:01.97\00:49:04.04 to me that says, 00:49:04.07\00:49:05.41 He's got the whole world in His hand. 00:49:05.44\00:49:07.74 He wraps it up, He wins in the end. 00:49:07.78\00:49:09.54 That's right. 00:49:09.58\00:49:10.91 Who else is worthy to have all of that 00:49:10.98\00:49:14.05 that was written in that beautiful prayer? 00:49:14.08\00:49:16.72 Thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory. 00:49:16.75\00:49:19.02 You know, as we enter into this New Year, 00:49:19.05\00:49:20.69 we have to keep that in focus. 00:49:20.72\00:49:23.02 We just came out of a quagmire of a fight over power. 00:49:23.06\00:49:28.53 Men rise and fall, but God's kingdom remains, 00:49:28.56\00:49:32.60 for thine is the kingdom 00:49:32.63\00:49:34.40 for power and the glory forever and ever. 00:49:34.44\00:49:36.37 That's the kingdom 00:49:36.40\00:49:37.74 that I want to be a part of. 00:49:37.77\00:49:39.11 Let me rephrase that. 00:49:39.14\00:49:40.48 That's the kingdom I am a part of. 00:49:40.51\00:49:41.84 There you go. 00:49:41.88\00:49:43.21 I've always said to people cast your vote 00:49:43.24\00:49:44.85 in favor of the kingdom that will never come to an end. 00:49:44.88\00:49:47.62 Praise God for that. Amen. 00:49:47.65\00:49:49.92 Angie, you want to just say something 00:49:49.95\00:49:51.29 about being a part of the kingdom? 00:49:51.32\00:49:53.39 And thank God. 00:49:53.46\00:49:54.89 Yes, God is so good.
