So maturing is where we just 16 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:10,440 pour into our leaders, get on one accord and we are preparing 17 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:17,520 for what God has for us. But tonight I'm gonna open it up 18 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:23,760 to whoever wants to come because the the option I'm not going to 19 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,680 take this morning, I will take tonight. 20 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:34,080 I think it is a life saving poor that's going to happen tonight. 21 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:41,800 It was going to it is going to be a conversation around not 22 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,480 only family matters, but friends matter. 23 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:51,400 Tonight I'm going to help every last one of you get clarity on 24 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:57,160 relationships. We are to love everybody, but 25 00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,360 not everybody has the same access. 26 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:06,720 And what I realized is we are asking friends to be coverings. 27 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,400 We're asking coverings to be friends. 28 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:16,840 We're expecting pastors to replace our parent that wasn't 29 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:21,120 there. And we have this, this, this, 30 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,080 this. One area I will, I would say is 31 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:30,480 probably Troy that is the least discipled in the church and that 32 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:34,240 is friendships. It starts as a little kid when 33 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,720 you see you ever, if you're a parent, your kids ever come home 34 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:41,600 and, and, and and say, I want to hang out with my friends. 35 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,000 And have you ever had to tell your children that they're that 36 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,520 That's not your friend. Oh, OK. 37 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,360 You, you, you got kids that play video games these days. 38 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,320 They're online with their friends. 39 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:58,440 They never seen a face. They online with their friends 40 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,960 in church. Not everybody is called to the 41 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,080 same level. Watch this even in church 42 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,440 everybody don't get the same access. 43 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:14,960 And this is Bible. Jesus had a, a a a portion of 44 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:16,880 his life that was for the masses. 45 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,480 Then he had a portion to the 144. 46 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,520 Then he had a portion to the 12. Then there was a portion to 47 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:29,400 three watch this covenant relationships is for heart 48 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,480 revelation. Watch this not everybody should 49 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,200 know what's happening in your heart. 50 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:39,040 One of the greatest mistakes I've ever made as a human and a 51 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:45,040 leader is I share too much because what you don't 52 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,160 understand the. People who are not called to 53 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:52,360 your heart will use your heart against you one day. 54 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,320 Not everybody's called to understand what you're 55 00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,680 struggling with or even know what you're struggling with. 56 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:06,000 There are several levels or contexts Is that we got to learn 57 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,840 to put our relationships, not our friendships because not 58 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,840 everybody's a friend. We're called to love everybody. 59 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,720 I will. I promise you y'all that got 60 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:23,480 like 10 friends and everybody is sis and everybody is bro and 61 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,640 everybody is homies and everybody watch this. 62 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:32,320 Only a few people come to your house and watch this. 63 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,200 There's people that have been to my house ain't never been in my 64 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:41,800 bedroom. If you've ever seen my bedroom, 65 00:04:43,840 --> 00:04:48,640 you special. Not everybody can handle the 66 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:52,960 access you give them. I believe that this is one of 67 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:57,000 the most vital conversations and messages. 68 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:01,440 Or I promise you, before this year is over, you will not be 69 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,680 where you thought God was or where God promised you you 70 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,640 should be. Most of us in here. 71 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:13,280 Are where we are because of the relationships we have or we had. 72 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:19,840 Bible tells us very clearly. I'll give you one scripture 73 00:05:19,840 --> 00:05:22,920 really quickly because relationships are not random. 74 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:28,720 They are formational. Relationships form you who you 75 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,240 work with forms you who you listen to forms you. 76 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:38,120 Relationships form you. Watch this promise. 77 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:39,360 I'm not going to preach on this right now. 78 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:45,320 He says the key scripture that would be become wise by walking 79 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,520 with the wise. He didn't say wise people will 80 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:52,720 teach you or give you wisdom. He say you will become wise by 81 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:58,040 hanging out with wise. Watch this and when you hang out 82 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,680 with wise and foolish, foolish will compromise wise. 83 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,720 He said hang out with the fools and watch your life fall to 84 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,400 pieces. I'm also going to deal with 85 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,760 tonight. How do you deal with 86 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:16,400 relationships that you didn't ask for because you was born 87 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:21,520 into like your Mama or your sister? 88 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:27,960 Watch this profound scripture. Jesus says my mom and my brother 89 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:34,400 is who does my father's will. Oh, you even have to have 90 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,960 boundaries with your. Own blood. 91 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,440 There are people called to you that as you get older, watch 92 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:47,040 this, you will watch it. You will be closer to certain 93 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:51,000 people you're called to than people in your own family 94 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:58,000 because of purpose, because your family, your family raised you. 95 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,720 Watch this. Your relationships form you. 96 00:07:03,840 --> 00:07:08,320 I I like I I guarantee you you ain't got nothing better to do 97 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:13,400 tonight then to come and get delivered from Some of the 98 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:17,360 brokenness you have is because you had no guardwells or no 99 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,760 boundaries. You put all relationships in one 100 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,240 bucket. When you got lonely you called 101 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:26,080 whoever was available. It wasn't even a friend you 102 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,960 wanted to go out with, but the one you wanted to go out with 103 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:37,060 wasn't available. Are we going to get healthy? 104 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,560 We're going to get help. Because who you hang out with 105 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,480 can steal purpose. They watch this. 106 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:51,400 Who you hang out with is voices. OK, so this morning I have no 107 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,720 slides for you.

Thank you. 110 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:28,960 You, you, you guys, you guys, I was sharing with some people, 111 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:30,760 I'm going to be a little vulnerable, OK, because I'm, I 112 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,120 don't have no slides. So I don't got to, I don't have 113 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,320 no slides. I I got a word I don't got no 114 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:45,680 slides right now. I'm learning is right. 115 00:08:45,680 --> 00:08:48,360 So there's some stuff I used to share up here that I can't share 116 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,120 no more because it could be used against you, right? 117 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:52,600 Vulnerability cost you something. 118 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,320 So that'd be very wise of what I share. 119 00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:01,880 I will say this, almost the last two years, my wife and I for the 120 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,680 most part have lived separate. We haven't been separated. 121 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:11,800 We we've lived separate. Watch this for purpose and a lot 122 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:16,080 of people don't understand that for us to move to Calgary and 123 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:22,000 live in two places, the cost of that and a lot of times it costs 124 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:28,360 what the last wind blew away because a lot of people watch 125 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:32,240 this. Most people in here didn't 126 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:36,400 detect that when that woman leaves the house or when I leave 127 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:40,200 the house and that woman stays, the two people that are called 128 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:45,000 to leave this house are separated immediately. 129 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,680 Warfare is activated. So in a season, instead of 130 00:09:48,680 --> 00:09:52,320 people critiquing, they didn't understand that the Richmond, 131 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,080 the leaders of this house have been under attack. 132 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,120 Watch this. Jesus was sent into the LED into 133 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,920 the wilderness by the Holy Ghost and the devil was given to him 134 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,000 to try him. So, so, so. 135 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:09,880 The warfare was ordained as much as the separation was ordained. 136 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,680 But how many mature believers is like we got to fast and pray 137 00:10:13,680 --> 00:10:18,520 more for our pastors because maybe some of the stuff, some of 138 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:20,320 the stuff we critique and may be coming. 139 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,960 Because they're trying to figure right the their, their ship is 140 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:28,760 rocking. So we that season ended 141 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:56,240 yesterday. Yeah, I think, I think we can. 142 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:07,280 I think we can cry now because that was two of the hardest 143 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:15,320 years of our lives. Sometime because the attack was 144 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,960 so heavy, I said y'all got to fly home because I just need 145 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,960 somebody to I need a hug.

Or he's not he's not he's not 191 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:17,600 like when he asked Jesus and Mary and and Joseph when he 192 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,240 asked Joseph, they had a dream and he didn't say go back home. 193 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,960 You often think that there's a day you going to go back to 194 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:30,080 where you were came from and you get sent to get sent to keep 195 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:36,160 getting sent to get sent. And so thank you. 196 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:37,400 I've had people people don't know. 197 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,840 I've had a couple people in the beginning fly out there to watch 198 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:43,040 our kids so we can be here. Thank you, Andrew. 199 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,240 Thank you. You know who you are. 200 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:50,880 Thank you, Grace. This is all ministry. 201 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:52,400 This is what the Kingdom is about. 202 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,640 If I can't share this stuff with you, I'm not pastoring you 203 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,760 because I'll give you some theological, exegetical, 204 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:03,080 hermeneutical expositions. I'm, I'm, I'm not, I'm not, I'm 205 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:04,800 not, I'm, I'm coming. I'm coming. 206 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:06,240 I'm coming. I'm coming, I'm coming, I'm 207 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:09,280 coming. I'm coming, right? 208 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:14,240 I'm, I'm not that to me. That's not the grace alone. 209 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:15,560 Just to come up here and teach you. 210 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:20,720 We got that. But but, but true leadership 211 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,120 says follow me. So when I'm sharing with you, 212 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:26,160 I'm saying follow me. I understand the struggles. 213 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:28,840 I've been married going on 23 years. 214 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,280 I've been a father for almost 21 years. 215 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:37,320 So I get to stand up here today as a legit, not just leader, but 216 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,480 a father, a husband who didn't hug. 217 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,440 We didn't have the husband and wife and father through some 218 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:47,200 stuff. I'm driving home from Calgary 219 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,960 and we almost didn't make it just because it was snowing at 220 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:52,880 the top. It was beginning as icy and we 221 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:56,880 was just like, and then we had to rent an extra car and so we 222 00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,040 were separate. And so instead of being able to 223 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,760 trade off, we both have to drive the whole time. 224 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:08,360 But I got a chance to to pray and worship. 225 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:13,040 And what I'm about to share with you is just kind of slapped me 226 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:16,600 in the face because I'm like. God. 227 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:25,960 So I'm being a good husband. I think I'm being a good. 228 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,800 I'm not looking at her like, am I like, no, I'm not looking for 229 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:30,640 validation. I'm just trying to be cute right 230 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:36,480 now, OK, I'm, I'm I'm I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm faithful over your your 231 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,880 people. I, I believe I've passed love, 232 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:43,200 love tests. I've I'm I'm standing. 233 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:54,720 And there's so much I got yesterday, but one thing I got 234 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:59,880 is permission to be like, Jesus came to show us how to be human, 235 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:06,599 not be God, but because he we think he tries to make, he came 236 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:10,040 to make us be like God. We're not honest with God, with 237 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:14,440 how we feel. The issue is not that I'm angry. 238 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:18,599 He like tell me that the issue is not I'm not scared. 239 00:17:18,599 --> 00:17:21,880 He's like give me that. The issue is not I'm not 240 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:23,880 worried, but he's like give me that. 241 00:17:24,599 --> 00:17:28,079 But the issue is not that I don't have financial issues. 242 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:32,200 He's like, but give me that. And then on the other side, put 243 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,440 in your mouth who I am in that situation. 244 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,800 So you scared, but God did not give me the spirit of fear. 245 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,280 That's faith. You're dealing with financial 246 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,440 issues, but my God shall supply all of my needs. 247 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:50,360 Of course, you got a doctor's report, but I am the healed and 248 00:17:50,360 --> 00:17:54,560 not the sick. Faith does not say I'm not sick. 249 00:17:54,720 --> 00:18:00,480 Faith says although the doctors say I'm sick, my God says I am 250 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:07,640 healed. So I get a chance to get in the 251 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:11,520 car and I'm like, man, that was, I was, I was listening the word 252 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,920 and I was worshipping and I was just like, I'm scared. 253 00:18:19,120 --> 00:18:24,120 I'm worried. I've been my body's telling me. 254 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:27,440 God's like, yeah, there there we go. 255 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,800 Your faith ain't authenticated if you in denial of your 256 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:36,760 reality. Because the point is that I 257 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:45,280 realize my humanity, but the blessing is what God wants me to 258 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:53,040 get to is that I need thee. David talked about his 259 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,880 brokenness, his fears, his downtroddenness. 260 00:18:56,320 --> 00:19:05,040 But God, you don't really have a prayer life if it's just faith 261 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:12,640 or if it's just emotions. And I'm like, man, right? 262 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:14,600 Because I'm looking back, I'm leaving a place, I'm leaving 263 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,440 relationships and families we built with and pouring. 264 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:19,600 And then I'm coming back and I'm driving. 265 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:27,480 I have this time and I'm like, what's going on? 266 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,720 And then God gave myself permission to say I am mad as 267 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:39,640 hell at the devil. Watch this. 268 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:47,840 We get passive when we we think giving it to God is passive. 269 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,320 Is is is what he's asking us to do. 270 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:54,120 No, he's asking us to join him in warfare. 271 00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:59,680 Pay back as he is, but throwing the stone is mines. 272 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:09,240 So I'm like, I believe that the enemy's been slowly deferring 273 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:15,880 hope and if you are honest, there's areas in your life you 274 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:19,240 are frustrated because you have been waiting for God to 275 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,600 breakthrough. Watch this. 276 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:26,800 But your prayer life has not matched the intensity of the 277 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:34,120 attack that was the conviction yesterday is that I have been 278 00:20:34,120 --> 00:20:38,560 trusting God, but my posture has relaxed. 279 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,400 Matthew 20. 640 put it up please. 280 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,080 We're going to get a light. Y'all going to work real good 281 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,280 today? I didn't do your homework. 282 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:50,440 We're going back to the old school. 283 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:56,520 Back to the old school. Matthew 2640 today. 284 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:01,320 Is the message is going to be called through through somebody 285 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,000 shout out through just one more hour. 286 00:21:04,360 --> 00:21:07,800 What watch this. I realized Troy that I know how 287 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:16,120 to pray too. Yeah, lot of us pray too. 288 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:34,080 Yeah, if I'm honest as a pastor and I think I, I can relate to a 289 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:39,240 lot of people in here, I pray because I should some ways I 290 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:41,200 pray because I'm supposed to, because that's what Christians 291 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:45,880 do. Watch this can can I be 292 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:47,720 vulnerable? You can, you can throw the stone 293 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:48,480 back. It's totally fine. 294 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:51,560 I'm going to give you a stone to throw or you could put it down. 295 00:21:54,560 --> 00:22:05,920 But I realize that I don't often pray because I'm burdened to 296 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:12,800 pray. I know some people that pray 297 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:17,320 because they burden to pray and there's a mantle to pray. 298 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:21,240 So I'm not saying you got to be like Elder John, Elder Roseanne 299 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,760 and some of the other prayer warriors. 300 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:33,920 I'm a praying man. Watch this because praying 301 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:41,360 without ceasing is praying upon prompting, so I'm in constant 302 00:22:41,360 --> 00:22:43,440 community. Praying is the. 303 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:47,040 Kind of Kingdom prayer that God is calling us to is not so much 304 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,000 about your 30 minutes in the morning. 305 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,680 It's about your 24/7 availability. 306 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:56,760 Can He prompt you whenever he want to to get His word from 307 00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:02,160 heaven through you on earth? A prompting living available 308 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:09,760 living available. What I realized is we don't know 309 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:16,680 how to pray to prevail this. Generation for sure. 310 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:21,440 I'm talking about the kind of praying that I don't know who's 311 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:28,800 had these grandmamas or Mamas that it seemed like they always 312 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:34,960 praying they on their knees praying when the last time we 313 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:42,720 got on our knees and prayed, we cute with it we. 314 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:46,640 ABS. With it, we say what other 315 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:51,680 people say with it we pray when we in trouble with it. 316 00:23:53,680 --> 00:24:00,680 But if I'm honest, watch this EJ, I'm mad we not over there 317 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:05,000 yet. This message ain't about there. 318 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:09,280 This message there is an example of like we believe in. 319 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,680 But when watch it, you can be believing, but not Warren. 320 00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:19,600 Watch this. Our money is caught up 321 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:28,080 somewhere. We just sometimes think that 322 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:32,560 delay is because God's holding something back or the devil's 323 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:36,440 holding something back. Watch this other part of the 324 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,920 message. Just one more hour. 325 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:42,240 Where'd you get that from, Preacher? 326 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:47,440 Jesus is in the Garden of Gethsemane and they're falling 327 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,480 asleep when they should be warring. 328 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:55,480 And what if I told you, some of you pray to the last hour, but 329 00:24:55,480 --> 00:25:00,680 not through the last hour? You got weary, you got tired, 330 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:05,280 warfare intensified. And my question is, it seems 331 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:10,040 like the enemy knows more about what's on the other side than we 332 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,080 do. Watch this. 333 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:15,440 Here's what I feel. The enemy knows something that 334 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:20,400 you are not aware of. Now maybe I'm the only one in 335 00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:25,240 here. But I can say that warfare has 336 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:31,560 intensified in my household, in my life like never before. 337 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:35,880 Watch this. God's dealing with me 338 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:40,680 differently, but watch this. The message is no longer 339 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:44,480 breakthroughs coming. That's what he tells. 340 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,480 Watch this. That is a milk prophecy. 341 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,360 That's what elementary ears want to hear. 342 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:57,840 Meat prophecy is about your maturity, not your blessing. 343 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,840 When God start talking to you about your character, He is 344 00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:05,640 saying, now I can talk to you without you. 345 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:09,200 You are ready for me to talk about you, not about what I can 346 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:17,640 get to you. I'm mad at the enemy messing 347 00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:22,920 with my kids. I'm mad that I'm not where I 348 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,560 thought I would be. See. 349 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,000 See, there's that, there's that there, there, there's that. 350 00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:31,520 I heard a preacher say the other day, he said, where's the 351 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:36,200 where's the auntie that used to get mad at a common cold? 352 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:42,280 Miss my mom and them used to pray against a cold. 353 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:52,080 I'm talking about pray. What is it going to take you to 354 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:57,680 get a burden and a urgency to pray through what you watch? 355 00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:02,920 This no is yours. Rather it's your family health. 356 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:07,440 Rather it's your mental health. Rather it is your peace. 357 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:12,680 Some of you have way too much resolve with the status quo, but 358 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,360 the status quo ain't what God promised. 359 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:18,320 But you have come. Watch this. 360 00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:23,880 The fact that you have come to a calm about your present state 361 00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,480 lets you know that hope has been deferred. 362 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:35,440 And I'm here to light a fire. And a few of us, starting with 363 00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:40,120 me, watch this. I got faith and I pray, but 364 00:27:40,120 --> 00:27:44,520 there is a level of prayer that will never get that. 365 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:49,320 Watch this. There is a level of prayer that 366 00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:52,400 is required to reach the heights. 367 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:58,040 God has called us to Watch this. You won't see your healing until 368 00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:03,240 you war for your healing, right? You got to match the enemy's 369 00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:06,120 energy. And I know I'm not the only one 370 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:10,080 that have not been under a consistent attack of the enemy. 371 00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:14,680 Rather, it's been my children, my finances, my purpose, my 372 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,400 health. I, I'm, I don't know if I'm the 373 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,760 only one that's been questioning God. 374 00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:23,120 Is this you God? God, did I make a mistake 375 00:28:23,120 --> 00:28:26,040 somewhere? God, why is this happening to 376 00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,160 me? God, I thought that door was 377 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:30,800 going to be open. God, why they picking on me? 378 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:33,240 All I tried to do is love people. 379 00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:35,640 God, why am I being misunderstood? 380 00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,160 God, why is my children acting up? 381 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:47,200 No, you promise healing, so I'm not letting go until you heal 382 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:55,080 me. You promised household 383 00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:57,800 salvation. I'm not going to stop till 384 00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:07,840 everybody in my house is saved. And, and it was promised that 385 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,640 there would be a revival of prayer in this house. 386 00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:13,640 But we have not pushed for that revival. 387 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:15,720 We have not sacrificed. No. 388 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:19,560 We got a few people who came to this church, prayer warriors, 389 00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:25,200 but where God is calling us to watch this, we will not get in 390 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,640 that building. Watch this money won't get us in 391 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:34,280 that building. Prayer will because what our 392 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:37,080 budget is way bigger than what we need to get in. 393 00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:39,440 I'm not trying to just get money to get in. 394 00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:43,480 What about after it's going to be more expensive to after we 395 00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:53,920 get in than trying to get in. Matthew 2640 and he came to the 396 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:55,760 disciples and found them sleeping. 397 00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:03,160 I remember in youth ministry a long time ago, I preached a 398 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:08,480 message called Sleeping on the battlefield to some kids. 399 00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:16,080 But Oh well, I released it. They was getting some food and 400 00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:20,000 I'm saying kids thank me to today sometime you preach 401 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:25,160 forward and and he came to the disciples and found them 402 00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:31,840 sleeping and said to Peter, what are you so utterly unable to 403 00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:35,720 stay awake Then can I get a chair? 404 00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:47,360 No, not yours. Some of us, this has been us and 405 00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,640 I knew when I do this, I need you to be honest with yourself. 406 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:52,920 I'm telling you, for me, I pray all the time. 407 00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:57,720 I talk to God all the time. I'm a man of faith, but I 408 00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:03,320 realize that I'm entering a new dimension, which requires a new 409 00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:11,160 posture like like you could pray like this for so long and this 410 00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:13,320 posture of prayer is going to get you so far. 411 00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:18,640 But at some point you got to. It's like when your kids acting 412 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:22,480 up for what you sitting on the couch and your kids just think 413 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,720 you so relaxed, they can talk or you'll keep you on the phone and 414 00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:27,800 your kid is thinking they can talk to you crazy because you're 415 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:31,600 on the phone and you're like, wait, come here, what you say. 416 00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:35,600 And if their kids got if your kids got sense, they like 417 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:40,520 nothing. Yeah, watch this. 418 00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:42,640 When you get that posture and that tone, that's what the 419 00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:43,800 enemy's going to say back to you. 420 00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:47,640 What you, what you say, what you trying to do to my what you 421 00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:49,720 trying to do to my family? Nothing. 422 00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:56,240 He he don't, he wants this, this prayer life, this prayer life. 423 00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:02,480 You can declare and decree in this posture, this posture. 424 00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:09,200 There's something I mentioned this what? 425 00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:13,240 And then when, when is it going to get like, we're in this hour 426 00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:17,440 where it's like, no, no, no, no, it's it's like, I don't know. 427 00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:19,640 I know, I know a lot of us ain't been in rough neighborhoods and 428 00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:21,600 stuff like, but it comes to a point where it's like what? 429 00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,440 What? What? 430 00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:34,360 Some places like we need some prayer warriors in here. 431 00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:40,400 That's like, you not going to mess with my family, you not 432 00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:47,160 going come on, not not on my watch. 433 00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:56,120 No, we got to tie up the hair, take off the shoes. 434 00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:59,920 What we doing? What we doing? 435 00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:11,590 What are we doing? We got to match the energy. 436 00:33:11,590 --> 00:33:14,750 What are we doing? You mess with my children, what 437 00:33:14,750 --> 00:33:22,080 are we doing? And what I believe is this 438 00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:26,000 region has been able to to be pumped. 439 00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:32,600 And I believe that the that the enemy has ran into a people that 440 00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:38,880 cannot be pumped. That's why you here 'cause you 441 00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:51,680 ain't no pump. You not no pushover, You not no 442 00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:53,480 coward. You not a punk. 443 00:33:54,800 --> 00:34:04,600 My Mama didn't raise no punk. My weapons is not against 444 00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:07,680 people, so I'm not beefing up against nobody. 445 00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:19,199 But I'm tired of the devil. I think what God has been doing 446 00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:22,440 is he hasn't been exposing the problem. 447 00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,719 He, he, he exposed the generational patterns. 448 00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:29,840 Now we got to go bust it. We got to go break it. 449 00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:33,520 We got to devour, we got to match the enemy's energy. 450 00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:42,000 What's this? Jesus didn't ask them for a 451 00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,600 lifetime. He didn't ask them for a week. 452 00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:48,520 He didn't even ask them to pray all night. 453 00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:51,520 He said can you just pray for one hour? 454 00:34:54,239 --> 00:35:01,200 And they couldn't do it. The difference between standing 455 00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:08,600 with Jesus and sleeping through a critical moment was one hour. 456 00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:14,920 Standing with Jesus and sleeping was one hour, prophetically 457 00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,880 speaking. Guys, what God is asking us to 458 00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:24,200 do in this hour, it requires an intensity, A consecration, A 459 00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:29,120 sacrifice that may feel like forever in the beginning. 460 00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:31,400 The request can feel like forever. 461 00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:36,760 But because the request feels like it forever or the demand 462 00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:40,680 feels like forever does not mean it's going to last forever. 463 00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:45,880 But God is looking for some miles and some postures and some 464 00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:49,760 vessels to do something that will have generational 465 00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:54,600 implications. What if the gap between where 466 00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:58,000 you are and what God promised is not yours? 467 00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:02,560 What if it's not more prophecy you need? 468 00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:04,640 What if it's not more revelation? 469 00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:07,600 This is what I'm saying, God. God, I got enough word. 470 00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:11,280 What I mean is, God, you just spoke to this house. 471 00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:14,600 You've given me clarity. You've given me direction. 472 00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:17,680 You've given me seed to sow You've given me good friends. 473 00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:21,320 You've given us good leaders. You've given us more than enough 474 00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:23,920 vision. What is it? 475 00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:36,040 What if there's one more hour? He's asking you to push you? 476 00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:38,600 You've been pregnant, I know, for nine months. 477 00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:44,160 But if you're going to get this baby out, you're going to have 478 00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:50,440 to push through it, don't you? You, you, you've been walking 479 00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:55,160 around like this for nine months, but watch this. 480 00:36:57,040 --> 00:37:00,720 Delivery. Don't come because you carry 481 00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:08,960 delivery. Come because you push. 482 00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:16,560 And we watch this. We've been requesting, not 483 00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:20,560 pushing. We've been declaring, but not 484 00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:23,920 pushing. Somebody say through it. 485 00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:29,280 Watch this. Many believers know how to pray 486 00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:33,320 but not know how to stay. You know how to get on your 487 00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:35,320 knees for a moment, but you don't know how to stay on your 488 00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:37,840 knees and because of that, watch it. 489 00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:42,480 Breakthrough is not released to those who start praying, but 490 00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:45,920 it's released to those who to who refuse to stop. 491 00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:52,800 Breakthrough does not come to the starters, it comes to those 492 00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:58,080 who refuse to stop praying. Most people don't miss their 493 00:37:58,080 --> 00:37:59,960 breakthrough because God said no. 494 00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:03,440 They miss it because they stopped at the last hour. 495 00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:09,040 God did not say no, you may have stopped at the last hour. 496 00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:14,440 Watch this. Be not weary and well doing for 497 00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:21,280 in due season if you faint not, bless the Lord we learn. 498 00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:24,000 Bless the Lord O my soul and forget not. 499 00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:26,400 He gave us this message 2 weeks ago. 500 00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:29,720 Watch this. Remembrance is fuel to your 501 00:38:29,720 --> 00:38:34,400 prayer life. Remember, it's His fuel to your 502 00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:37,800 prayer life. If he did it before, he could do 503 00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:43,360 it again. It's not, it's not, it's not a 504 00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:50,280 sin to remember the benefits. He tells us to remember all the 505 00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:53,200 benefits. Where did God pull you out? 506 00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:56,720 Where did God break you through? Who did God breakthrough? 507 00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:58,800 Who do you know that God has blessed? 508 00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:01,400 If He did it for them, He could do it for you. 509 00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:08,160 Do not drift into spiritual amnesia. 510 00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:14,920 David understood that remembrance is not reflection. 511 00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:21,360 Remembrance is fuel. He rehearsed who forgives God, 512 00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:29,120 who heals Rafa, who redeems who? Who restores God because David 513 00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:32,240 knew if I remember right, I will pray right. 514 00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:35,680 Who am I talking to today? Don't. 515 00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:38,720 Don't wait till the end. God is stirring up a revival of 516 00:39:38,720 --> 00:39:43,040 intercession in those who will make their womb available in 517 00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:46,920 this hour. When you forget, you fall 518 00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:49,560 asleep, and when you remember, you stay awake. 519 00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:55,560 Remembrance fuels a vibrant prayer life. 520 00:39:56,720 --> 00:40:00,640 I have never pondered on the goodness of God and it did not 521 00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:05,600 lead to praise. It did not lead to prayer. 522 00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:08,760 It did not lead. I have never pondered on the 523 00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:12,920 goodness of God without it leading to intimacy. 524 00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:17,880 What do you do? Here's here's the biggest thing 525 00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:22,280 EJI found one word that I've been experiencing. 526 00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:25,880 I think some of y'all watch this. 527 00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:32,560 When I say this one word, if it hits your Holy Ghost, I, I, I 528 00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:40,560 need you to, to, to, to maybe stand not for me, but this is 529 00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:44,920 this, this these next few minutes got to be responding 530 00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:48,240 because the Lord is trying to breakthrough because he's 531 00:40:48,240 --> 00:40:53,600 calling on intercessors. He's calling on seers. 532 00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:55,640 He's calling for prophetic voices. 533 00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:57,840 The prophetic voice is under attack. 534 00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:00,520 This is why we hear Jezebel, Jezebel, Jezebel, Jezebel, 535 00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:02,880 Jezebel everywhere. Forget Jezebel. 536 00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:05,680 What the goal is, is to silence the prophetic. 537 00:41:17,180 --> 00:41:22,580 Say God, what is it on my drive? He said. 538 00:41:22,580 --> 00:41:25,620 You've been experiencing resistance. 539 00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:36,320 It's been resistance. God, I've been doing what you 540 00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:40,840 been telling me to do. I know I got vision. 541 00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:45,080 I know I'm loving my family the best way. 542 00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:47,640 I know how to even have a dad in my life to show me how to do 543 00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:49,840 this God.

There has been resistance and 563 00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:55,480 sitting in that posture cannot deal with resistance. 564 00:42:57,280 --> 00:42:59,600 What do you do when you feel resistance? 565 00:42:59,880 --> 00:43:01,400 Now watch this. You don't got to keep, you can 566 00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:03,960 keep listening, but you can begin praying right where you 567 00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:05,360 are.

What about the son you promised? 575 00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:35,400 What about the spouse you promised? 576 00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:38,320 What about the breakthrough for my children you promised? 577 00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:40,200 What about the wealth you promised? 578 00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:42,720 What about the finances you promised? 579 00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:46,720 I'm working on my character. I'm not the same man. 580 00:43:46,720 --> 00:43:51,040 I'm not the same woman. I've made amends with that bad 581 00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:53,520 relationship. I've repented to my mother. 582 00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:56,480 I've repented to my father. God, I've really been trying to 583 00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:59,280 do this thing right. But every time I turn left, 584 00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:02,240 there's a closed door. Every time I turn right, there's 585 00:44:02,240 --> 00:44:04,480 a closed door. I think I'm doing good. 586 00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:06,480 And then all of a sudden I'm misunderstood. 587 00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:11,760 God, the resistance is real. Why the resistance? 588 00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:18,240 He's trying to defer hope. He's trying to defer hope. 589 00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:21,520 And we understood, understand hope. 590 00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:27,760 Deferred makes the heart sick. I thought I was done with those 591 00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:31,520 thoughts. I thought I was done with porn. 592 00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:33,520 I thought I was done with those habits. 593 00:44:40,980 --> 00:44:50,740 Watch this Paul. Paul don't get whole without 594 00:44:50,740 --> 00:44:56,600 writing letters to the church. What I mean by that, Paul 595 00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:59,840 serving the church all the days of his life was how he stayed 596 00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:04,680 from where he came from. And what I'm telling you is 597 00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:07,880 there's, there are there you, you can't just turn that off. 598 00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:10,360 You just can't close the laptop on that. 599 00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:15,880 You got to close the laptop and turn that energy into what God 600 00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:21,200 has called you to, because if you don't hurry up and use that 601 00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:25,960 zeal, use that passion, use that addiction for the goodness and 602 00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:29,200 the glory of God, you will go back and it will be 7 times 603 00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:33,520 worse. It's not a word issue. 604 00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:44,680 You got word but resistance. What happens when you're 605 00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:47,720 praying? It feels like nothing's moving. 606 00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:52,480 Come on, you can pray right where you are. 607 00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:55,200 You're praying and nothing moving. 608 00:45:55,200 --> 00:46:00,120 It seems like you're praying and it seems like finances are 609 00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:00,960 getting better. Watch this. 610 00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:05,520 And you're stewarding your finances, you're sewing, you're 611 00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:08,000 saving, but it seems like something else keep coming up. 612 00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:10,920 Something else keep breaking. Somebody else keep on 613 00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:13,520 disappointing you. Somebody else walks out on you. 614 00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:17,160 Somebody else talks about you. Somebody else persecutes you. 615 00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:20,120 Somebody else dies. Somebody else gets sick. 616 00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:27,440 God, when will it end? You're praying and nothing moves 617 00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:32,120 and you're believing and it feels like something is blocked. 618 00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:40,200 Trying to talk sense into that family member and it seems like 619 00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:42,360 the enemy just got his thumbs in their ear. 620 00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:46,920 And you know what God said, but you don't see it yet. 621 00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:51,560 All right?

That's what they did follow me. 730 00:54:38,720 --> 00:54:42,800 They prayed. So they weren't asking teach me 731 00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:45,560 how to pray the way we have been praying. 732 00:54:50,120 --> 00:54:52,560 They they looked at Jesus and was like, wait a minute. 733 00:54:52,560 --> 00:54:55,200 When you pray, demons start running. 734 00:54:57,440 --> 00:54:59,720 When when you pray, blind eyes are open. 735 00:54:59,720 --> 00:55:02,560 When you pray, provision is multiplied. 736 00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:05,400 When you pray, when you pray, the dead are raised. 737 00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:09,040 There is something about how you pray that when we pray. 738 00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:12,520 And This is why it was so much jealousy because Jesus got 739 00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:14,760 results. He was not just going through 740 00:55:14,760 --> 00:55:20,320 the motions. The demons understood his 741 00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:28,680 posture. Watch this. 742 00:55:28,680 --> 00:55:34,920 I'll probably get ahead of myself, but Luke 11/1, He gives 743 00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:45,960 them a formula of how to pray. We're going to get here in a 744 00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:48,680 second. Luke 18, He gives them a parable 745 00:55:49,400 --> 00:55:52,800 of how how to pray, like the posture of prayer. 746 00:55:52,880 --> 00:55:54,360 Watch this. Luke 18. 747 00:55:54,480 --> 00:55:57,160 He gives them the standard of prayer. 748 00:55:59,880 --> 00:56:04,880 But then at the cross they fell asleep. 749 00:56:06,960 --> 00:56:11,680 They were taught, they were shown, and under pressure they 750 00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:13,720 fell asleep. Oh, ain't that like the 751 00:56:13,720 --> 00:56:15,200 believers? You can sit here every Sunday 752 00:56:15,200 --> 00:56:20,880 and get good word but under pressure it's like the stowaway 753 00:56:21,800 --> 00:56:26,400 oxygen get taken from you and the word has no breath in your 754 00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:28,120 life. You forget and that's what 755 00:56:28,120 --> 00:56:30,160 happens when you your brain gets attacked. 756 00:56:30,160 --> 00:56:35,320 You start forgetting the enemy's after your mind. 757 00:56:36,680 --> 00:56:40,760 So you stop focusing on what God said and you start focusing on 758 00:56:40,760 --> 00:56:44,760 how it feels. Watch this. 759 00:56:46,880 --> 00:56:50,760 You can have a prayer life and still not have a powerful life 760 00:56:52,600 --> 00:56:55,960 if you was honest with yourself. Do you see power in your life? 761 00:56:56,040 --> 00:56:57,960 And when I say power, man, I ain't even talking about. 762 00:56:57,960 --> 00:56:59,560 Let's not even talk about demons right now. 763 00:56:59,960 --> 00:57:02,040 Let's not even talk about delivering folks and healing the 764 00:57:02,040 --> 00:57:03,320 sick. Let's not even talk about that. 765 00:57:03,560 --> 00:57:07,160 Let's just talk about just some daily stuff when people get on 766 00:57:07,160 --> 00:57:11,280 your nerves. Let's talk about a little 767 00:57:11,280 --> 00:57:18,640 resistance. They didn't ask for power. 768 00:57:20,320 --> 00:57:21,800 They asked for the source of power. 769 00:57:23,320 --> 00:57:28,720 Please hear me. Many of us want power, but we 770 00:57:28,720 --> 00:57:36,840 don't want to do it like Jesus. There's no burden, so there's no 771 00:57:36,840 --> 00:57:40,840 breakthrough. I would say at least half of us 772 00:57:40,840 --> 00:57:42,400 in here have a boring prayer life. 773 00:57:45,600 --> 00:57:48,880 That's not a God problem, that's not a your church problem 774 00:57:48,880 --> 00:57:52,080 because we offer prayer, not only prayer, but we also offer 775 00:57:52,080 --> 00:57:59,280 teaching you how to pray. We have people readily available 776 00:57:59,280 --> 00:58:00,600 to help you with your prayer life. 777 00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:06,720 A dull prayer life produces A dull spiritual life. 778 00:58:14,620 --> 00:58:17,740 Luke 11/1. He gives them structure, but He 779 00:58:17,740 --> 00:58:21,980 does not stop there because structure without persistence 780 00:58:22,760 --> 00:58:27,680 still produces powerless lives. He gives them the standard. 781 00:58:28,480 --> 00:58:37,520 Luke 18 He was praying in a certain place. 782 00:58:38,520 --> 00:58:42,760 When he stopped, one of his disciples said to him, Lord no, 783 00:58:42,760 --> 00:58:49,960 no no no 1181 let let Luke 18 verse one also. 784 00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:53,480 Jesus told them a parable to affect that they ought. 785 00:58:53,520 --> 00:58:57,280 Here it is. Remember 11 earlier he just gave 786 00:58:57,480 --> 00:58:59,960 our father, which he gave you an outline. 787 00:59:00,920 --> 00:59:04,280 He gave you a structure to pray. Now he's giving you a standard. 788 00:59:06,360 --> 00:59:10,000 He told them a parable to affect that they ought always to how, 789 00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:14,720 how often always to pray and not to turn coward, faint, loose 790 00:59:14,720 --> 00:59:20,800 heart and give up. He said in a certain city there 791 00:59:20,800 --> 00:59:24,680 was a judge who neither reverenced and feared God nor 792 00:59:24,680 --> 00:59:27,120 respected or considered man a judge. 793 00:59:31,360 --> 00:59:34,400 He didn't fear God. He wasn't a man of God. 794 00:59:35,440 --> 00:59:37,360 He was a judge. And there was a widow in that 795 00:59:37,360 --> 00:59:42,520 city who kept on coming, kept coming to him saying, protect 796 00:59:42,720 --> 00:59:45,600 and defend and give me justice against my adversary. 797 00:59:46,040 --> 00:59:49,320 And for a time he would not. For a time he would not, for a 798 00:59:49,320 --> 00:59:51,680 time he would not. But later he said to himself, 799 00:59:51,680 --> 00:59:54,160 watch this, watch this, watch this, watch this. 800 00:59:54,240 --> 00:59:58,160 He said to himself, Though I have neither reverence or fear 801 00:59:58,320 --> 01:00:05,320 for God, nor respect or consideration for man, this is a 802 01:00:05,600 --> 01:00:09,520 this is a nasty man. Watch this yet, because this 803 01:00:09,520 --> 01:00:16,120 widow continues to bother me. OK, am I talking to a few people 804 01:00:16,120 --> 01:00:20,680 in here right now? Watch this I don't got no 805 01:00:20,680 --> 01:00:24,440 respect for their God I don't got no respect for man. 806 01:00:24,840 --> 01:00:30,840 I don't have no, I'm cold, but because this woman keeps 807 01:00:30,920 --> 01:00:33,680 bothering me. Pause. 808 01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:40,240 God is showing us a principle that if a unjust man, if she 809 01:00:40,240 --> 01:00:45,320 can, if her persistence can breakthrough to a unjust man, 810 01:00:46,320 --> 01:00:50,520 what would your persistence do to a just God's heart. 811 01:00:52,520 --> 01:00:56,480 He says, because she continues to bother me, I will defend and 812 01:00:56,480 --> 01:01:02,880 protect and avenge her, lest she give me intolerable annoyance 813 01:01:03,040 --> 01:01:09,840 and wear me out by her continual coming, or at last she come and 814 01:01:09,840 --> 01:01:13,160 rail on me, or assault me or strangle me. 815 01:01:13,320 --> 01:01:19,600 Let me help this woman. Wait a minute this sounds who's 816 01:01:19,600 --> 01:01:25,480 giving this parable and he is given a parable teaching them 817 01:01:25,680 --> 01:01:30,880 how to pray the posture of prayer. 818 01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:37,720 OK I got so convicted when I read this a few times a week 819 01:01:38,520 --> 01:01:44,240 I'll tell my son we going to do XYZ and until it happens. 820 01:01:44,840 --> 01:01:49,000 Hey dad when can I get on the game son? 821 01:01:50,160 --> 01:01:51,160 DoH.

We command the enemy to take his 862 01:04:36,440 --> 01:04:39,640 hands off of our family. Take your hands off of our 863 01:04:39,640 --> 01:04:41,960 children.

You creating Ishmaels. 872 01:05:25,240 --> 01:05:28,880 You forgot He said it. A bad memory creates Ishmaels. 873 01:05:31,800 --> 01:05:33,680 Be not weary. Who am I talking to? 874 01:05:33,720 --> 01:05:37,120 Be patient. Keep believing for your 875 01:05:37,120 --> 01:05:39,520 children.

Demons were literally 890 01:06:52,440 --> 01:06:56,040 intimidated by the presence of Jesus. 891 01:06:59,280 --> 01:07:04,960 And who's inside of you? Jesus, it's time for you to get 892 01:07:04,960 --> 01:07:08,760 your posture fixed. It's time for you to give your 893 01:07:08,760 --> 01:07:10,680 voice back to what you've been believing for. 894 01:07:10,680 --> 01:07:16,320 I know it's been a long time, but we will not be like the 895 01:07:16,320 --> 01:07:20,480 children of Israel and begin to make idols because we're 896 01:07:20,480 --> 01:07:22,240 fainting, because we're hopeless. 897 01:07:22,840 --> 01:07:25,280 I pray right now that your hope is stirred up. 898 01:07:26,840 --> 01:07:28,760 He tells Timothy.

When you pray in your heavenly 900 01:07:32,480 --> 01:07:35,480 prayer language, it builds up your most holy faith. 901 01:07:35,480 --> 01:07:40,680 Come on. I will not give up. 902 01:07:41,960 --> 01:07:44,040 I will not quit.

I've come too far. 905 01:08:00,260 --> 01:08:02,260 I will not go back to the bondage of fear. 906 01:08:02,260 --> 01:08:07,540 I've come too far. I will not let the enemy steal 907 01:08:07,540 --> 01:08:09,340 my voice.
