Thanks for checking out the anchor Faith, Message podcast
from st. Augustine Florida.
Now, enjoy this message. So that y'all can come back up
because I just believe we're going to minister some more to
the Lord. Amen.
So you can be seated for a minute and let me read a couple
of scriptures. This morning.
Hallelujah. Concerning prayer.
Amen. So we started off by talking
about the fact that there's positions of our heart that we
need to be in. When we come into a place of
prayer, one of those was Faith. Amen.
At the bid first day, we talked about position ourselves with
faith. Next, we talked about the fact
that the holy spirit. Amen.
How A full supply for whatever we need, right, whatever we
need. And so yesterday we talked
about, you know, how important it is for us to yield to the
Holy Spirit, as we're in times of prayer, praying out in the
spirit, his perfect will having a spirit to be able to see and
hear what the spirit is saying eyes to see inside your spirit,
you know, we've given Some examples about that, you know,
what? A lot of times when you're
praying in the spirit, you'll just see a picture of something.
You know, could have a, you can see, you'll see a picture of
something. Amen.
And that's something that God is trying to reveal to you show you
and give you Direction in into praying.
Amen. But this morning, I want to talk
about because I believe that we've had such a great Just
download of impartation this week about the fact of
Thanksgiving because Thanksgiving is connected to our
prayers. He says, when you come into
prayer with Thanksgiving with Thanksgiving, right?
So being thankful for everything that God has shown you given to
you right revealed to, you just having a thankful heart is so
important. Because if you're not thankful
for what God has done for you, then why do you expect anything
else from him, right? If you're not grateful, if
you're not thankful for all that, he the fact that we just
have been able to be chosen by him to participate with him in
his kingdom. Come on.
If that's all there was to it. That's enough to be thankful
for. You've been what delivered from
the tyrannical ruler of Satan. Come on in the kingdom of
darkness, and we're just honored, and privileged to be
able to walk into the kingdom of his beloved Son and his light,
amen. So always remaining with a
thankful heart, and a grateful heart is so important when we
come to prayer and we've been given such great impartation
this week, haven't we? I mean, just a come on.
Have you not received anything? This week.
Amen. And so being thankful for it.
Amen, that's way. That's one way you're going to
guard. Your heart is having a thankful
heart and guarding and honoring the word that's been deposited
within. You is to keep your heart in a
position of thankfulness and gratitude that you've been able
to receive the engrafted word of God, which is able to save.
If your soul, amen. Hallelujah.
But this morning, I think because of thankfulness and
stuff, you know, we can talk about a prayer of worship, okay?
We've talked about praying in the spirit, but I want to read
1st Corinthians 14 13 through 15 again because it's in connection
with prayer. Where it says that.
So if anyone speaks in a tongue should pray, also for the
ability to interpret what he has what has been said.
Remember we said we can interpret what we're praying out
in the spirit, okay? It says, for, I pray in tongues,
my spirit is, when I pray in tongues, my spirit is pray, but
I don't understand what I'm saying.
Well then, what shall I do? I will pray in the spirit and
then I will pray. Also in words that I understand.
Well, look at this. I will sing in the spirit.
I'll sing in the spirit and I will also sing and words, I
understand. So in times of prayer, there are
times that you will begin to and should have times of worship or
singing unto the Lord. Okay, and it's a type of
ministry unto him and a Ministry unto you.
Now look over in Colossians, 3, Colossians 3:16.
Wow, this is good. It says, let the word of Christ
dwell in you richly richly. That means you're going to allow
the word of God that you've received this.
This week. Come on richly, dwell within
you. There's that Riches of his word
that's dwelling within you. One way, this were Rich means is
fullness or an abundance, let his word have fullness or
abundance within you. Come on in all wisdom.
Didn't we pray out of Ephesians earlier chapter one this week
that what that we would have a spirit of wisdom and revelation
Shin in this conference, right? So it in all wisdom, teaching,
we've received some great teaching this week.
Admonishing one another, here we go in Psalms, hymns.
And spiritual songs singing with Grace in our hearts, to the
Lord. So worship is a huge part.
Singing unto the Lord we know worship is Actually just to bow
down and submit. It actually means to submit
right? But so, but but we've termed
singing worship, okay? But as we begin to sing unto the
Lord or Minister unto him, which is a better terminology, and
we're going to see the scripture even says that when we come into
times of prayer there, is that time that can continue to bring
The things that we need in those times of prayer, because you can
begin to minister to the Lord and seeing the spirit, a
spiritual song that he gives you that he bring healing to your
body. Come on, that can bring a word
for you for months and weeks. If he gives you a song in your
spirit, it's what you don't need.
Actually a word from the Bible. At that moment.
You need a song that's going to stay in your heart.
Art that you can begin to just as you do, meditate on the word,
but you can begin to meditate on that spiritual song that he
revealed to you which is an answer that you need.
Come on to stand on. Because it came from the spirit,
you see that? So it's very important that we
recognize that were our ministry or singing unto the Lord is part
of prayer. Okay, we know this, we heard
them talk about Acts chapter 16 this week with Paul and Silas,
which is a perfect example. Paul and Silas how many of your
you know, we go into prayer, sometimes I need Deliverance, I
need you to give me a word. Lord, I need you to do this.
I need this to happen, but maybe what you need to do is walk up
in your room and begin to just worship Him.
Praise Him. Sing unto him Minister unto him
in a spiritual song, or by the spirit and your answer is going
to be found there. Okay, your answer will be found
there, just like Paul and Silas. What did they do?
You see this prayed and sang? Praises connected, they pray and
sing praises. It's connected.
Amen. So why do I always when we do
corporate prayer, I always give opportunity to do that because
it's what practice it is. Teaching you.
How to sometimes, you can be locked up, you can be in your
prayer time, you can be locked up your reader.
The word come on. You've been meditating on the
word, Lord, I need to hear something, but what you need to
do is just let us song come up out of your spirit and begin to
release that. And that's where your answer and
freedom is going to flow and your deliverance just like, Paul
and Silas, were they not delivered?
Because they prayed and sang praises and deliverance came.
You see that prayed and sang Praises unto God, and the
prisoners heard, they heard him. So you shouldn't be timid,
right? That's why we have prayer times
of teaching on prayer. So that then you can practice it
so that, you know how to flow in it.
So that anywhere Or at any time you can begin to tap into it
because you've learned how to do it and you should be okay to do
it when it's time to see Praises unto God, you ought to be able
to open up your mouth and see come to him.
It doesn't matter how you sound, right?
Just begin to practice it and release it, so that it becomes
naturally Supernatural in your life.
Right. Naturally Supernatural.
If you're uncomfortable, still that, you're still not, come on
naturally. Okay, with the supernatural.
And there's so many people that are still not okay, with the
supernatural. Because they've not Got beyond
the natural and into the Supernatural and they're not
comfortable with. But this should just be a part
of our everyday life that should be part of our everyday life.
You should be able to seek unto him in Assam.
And him and spiritual song. Spiritual song is you just
making up something of Melody in your own heart, in your own
heart? You don't you shouldn't have to
have words all the time. But on a screen for you to sing,
see that you should be able to just let us all come up out of
your arm, whatever it may be. It's just do you and the Lord.
Amen. Don't matter how it sounds.
Well, I can't think. Well, he said just make a Joyful
Noise, right? And everything.
Let me tell you something. It is joyful to our father to
hear you. Sing unto him.
Now, so Ephesians. Here's another good scripture.
Ephesians chapter 5 18 through 20, do not be drunk with, why,
you know, I was at a we were at a Minister's thing down south
just recently in Naples and we went to a restaurant well over
on the other side of where we were eating, it's the same
restaurant, but they, of course had Add a bar set up.
Well, they had an outdoor, you know, somebody plating or
whatever live music, but then, all of a sudden, we started
hearing people singing. Well, they had a karaoke thing.
It was a karaoke life. Well, they had some Spirits in
and they sure weren't shy to get up there without karaoke machine
and start wailing out in the middle of the public.
Come on, outside, for everybody to hear how much for if we're
full of the spirit of the Living, God should we be okay
with? Come on singing.
Heart Of The Hill, maybe, because I can tell you one
thing. If Paul and Silas had not
praised, then the change cooking a shucks.
They prayed. Come on so but they needed pray
to shake the chains off. Come on.
And they weren't as ashamed of it.
Why do I know they weren't ashamed to seeing out loud?
So loud? It's that the prisoners heard
them. They all heard him.
Now, we know what Paul was and them where they were down down,
deep it. That what we heard?
And the bottom where all the feces is and the urine is they
were at the bottom of the pit of the prison.
So they were singing so loud that the other prisoners could
hear them. Come on.
So let me read Ephesians it says don't be drunk with wine.
I was sidetracked with all the drunkenness that happen even in
people's lives at the church. Anyway, it says because that
will what ruin your life instead?
What we filled with the spirit, so guess what?
The antidote for you? Be drunk with wine and liquor,
it's the Holy Spirit. So he said what first 19?
But be filled with the Holy Spirit singing, Psalms hymns and
spiritual songs among yourselves and making music to the Lord.
In your heart, you're making using to the Lord, in your
hearts and give. Thanks, there's the thing.
And give, thanks to God, the father in the name of our Lord
Jesus Christ. ISO worshiping him singing
praises unto him. Having a joyful song in your
heart is connected to our prayer life.
Now, let me read one more scripture now, because this is
where we get the word, really, when we sing in times of prayer.
And when we come into, The church and we have used it.
It should be considered, let's come and Minister unto the Lord,
not praise and worship. Let's Minister unto the Lord
because when we come in here we are to be lifting up his name.
Glorify him come on, bringing his presence into this Fleck to
minister to him and we bring his Fear is right for more
impartation. How do I know that because of
Acts 13 wanted for. It says, now in the church, that
was at Antioch, there were certain prophets and teachers
Barnabas Diamond that are now drop down to verse 2.
It says, as they were, as they were ministering to the Lord and
fasting, which has to do with prayer.
Fasting. One translation says, the holy
spirit said, so as they're ministering to the Lord, as they
are welcoming his presence into the play and they are glorifying
him as they are honoring him. As they are singing unto him
through prayer and fasting. What happened?
The Holy Spirit was then able to say some things.
I was able to say some things and what did he say now, you
separate to me Barnabas and Saul for the work for which I have
called them. Then having fasted and prayed
and laid hands on them. They sent them away.
So be sent out by the Holy Spirit.
They went down to this place and from there, they sailed to
Cyprus. Amen.
Hallelujah. Stand to your feet.
So in time, Times of prayer. You know what?
We did. See, the minister unto the Lord
Minister unto him with Psalms hymns spiritual songs singing in
the spirit. Praying in the spirit.
Come on. And, as we do that, then the
Holy Spirit can begin to speak because its presence is here.
He could begin to speak to us. He could speak to us
corporately. He could speak to you.
Individually everything. Thing that you may have need of
come on. He has a full Supply in the
spirit is found in the spirit. So this is your time to practice
it practice. Come on, practice, singing,
worshipping, ministering unto him out of your own heart.
Now, we're going to start off by just, let's just give it back.

That's if you all, you can do is pray in the spirit just say
thank you. Lord, we get to pray in the
