Pastor matt hagee: what you
00:00:16.866 --> 00:00:17.400
Pastor matt hagee: what you need to know is that nothing
00:00:17.467 --> 00:00:18.668
Need to know is that nothing really happens in your life
00:00:18.735 --> 00:00:21.304
Really happens in your life until you pray.
00:00:21.371 --> 00:00:23.940
Until you pray. in psalms 18,
00:00:24.007 --> 00:00:25.241
In psalms 18, david is giving god not only
00:00:25.308 --> 00:00:26.810
David is giving god not only praise for giving him
00:00:26.876 --> 00:00:28.578
Praise for giving him victory over his enemies,
00:00:28.645 --> 00:00:30.880
Victory over his enemies, but he's also
00:00:30.947 --> 00:00:31.714
But he's also giving us the memoir of how
00:00:31.781 --> 00:00:33.917
Giving us the memoir of how he was successful in

He was successful in 18 major wars that he fought.
00:00:35.552 --> 00:00:39.823
18 major wars that he fought. and the thing that i love
00:00:39.889 --> 00:00:40.757
And the thing that i love about david is that
00:00:40.824 --> 00:00:41.758
About david is that he's very honest
00:00:41.825 --> 00:00:42.725
He's very honest and transparent.
00:00:42.792 --> 00:00:43.593
And transparent. he doesn't say,
00:00:43.660 --> 00:00:44.327
He doesn't say, "well, i beat this enemy
00:00:44.394 --> 00:00:46.162
"well, i beat this enemy because i had
00:00:46.229 --> 00:00:46.930
Because i had a superior strategy."
00:00:46.996 --> 00:00:48.064
A superior strategy." or "i won this battle
00:00:48.131 --> 00:00:49.632
Or "i won this battle because i was greater
00:00:49.699 --> 00:00:50.967
Because i was greater in physical ability."
00:00:51.034 --> 00:00:54.170
In physical ability." in the first few verses,
00:00:54.237 --> 00:00:55.438
In the first few verses, he's telling us about how he
00:00:55.505 --> 00:00:58.241
He's telling us about how he found god to be a refuge,
00:00:58.308 --> 00:00:59.976
Found god to be a refuge, and a fortress,
00:01:00.043 --> 00:01:00.810
And a fortress, and a deliverer,
00:01:00.877 --> 00:01:01.845
And a deliverer, and the horn of his salvation,
00:01:01.911 --> 00:01:03.480
And the horn of his salvation, and a stronghold,
00:01:03.546 --> 00:01:04.581
And a stronghold, and all of the difficult things
00:01:04.647 --> 00:01:05.715
And all of the difficult things that he went to,
00:01:05.782 --> 00:01:06.850
That he went to, but until you get to verse 6,
00:01:06.916 --> 00:01:10.887
But until you get to verse 6, nothing really happens.
00:01:10.954 --> 00:01:13.289
Nothing really happens. in verse 4, he says,
00:01:13.356 --> 00:01:14.524
In verse 4, he says, "death surrounded me.
00:01:14.591 --> 00:01:16.726
"death surrounded me. ungodliness made me afraid.
00:01:16.793 --> 00:01:18.862
Ungodliness made me afraid. sorrow snared me.
00:01:18.928 --> 00:01:21.331
Sorrow snared me. death confronted me."
00:01:21.397 --> 00:01:23.466
Death confronted me." this is not a hallmark
00:01:23.533 --> 00:01:24.367
This is not a hallmark greeting card
00:01:24.434 --> 00:01:25.235
Greeting card that he's writing here.
00:01:25.301 --> 00:01:27.770
That he's writing here. but then in verse 6, he says,
00:01:27.837 --> 00:01:29.339
But then in verse 6, he says, "something changed."
00:01:29.405 --> 00:01:30.740
"something changed." what changed?
00:01:30.807 --> 00:01:32.375
What changed? he says, "in my distress,
00:01:32.442 --> 00:01:34.444
He says, "in my distress, i called upon the lord."
00:01:34.511 --> 00:01:39.048
I called upon the lord." nothing really happens
00:01:39.115 --> 00:01:40.783
Nothing really happens until you pray.
00:01:40.850 --> 00:01:43.086
Until you pray. david said,
00:01:43.153 --> 00:01:43.653
David said, "i called upon the lord.
00:01:43.720 --> 00:01:45.288
"i called upon the lord. and what's even better
00:01:45.355 --> 00:01:46.456
And what's even better is he heard my voice."
00:01:46.523 --> 00:01:50.026
Is he heard my voice." aren't you thankful today
00:01:50.093 --> 00:01:50.927
Aren't you thankful today that not only can
00:01:50.994 --> 00:01:51.628
That not only can you call on him,
00:01:51.694 --> 00:01:52.996
You call on him, but when you call on him,
00:01:53.062 --> 00:01:54.864
But when you call on him, he hears your voice?
00:01:54.931 --> 00:01:58.067
He hears your voice? heaven doesn't have
00:01:58.134 --> 00:01:59.135
Heaven doesn't have an automated answering
00:01:59.202 --> 00:02:00.136
An automated answering machine that says,
00:02:00.203 --> 00:02:01.271
Machine that says, "for healing, press one.
00:02:01.337 --> 00:02:02.906
"for healing, press one. and for deliverance, press two.
00:02:02.972 --> 00:02:07.210
And for deliverance, press two. if you're going through
00:02:07.277 --> 00:02:07.777
If you're going through the same old, same old,
00:02:07.844 --> 00:02:08.678
The same old, same old, just wait."
00:02:08.745 --> 00:02:11.347
Just wait." no, david said,
00:02:11.414 --> 00:02:12.382
No, david said, "when i called upon the lord
00:02:12.448 --> 00:02:13.917
"when i called upon the lord in my distress,"
00:02:13.983 --> 00:02:15.585
In my distress," listen to it.
00:02:15.652 --> 00:02:16.452
Listen to it. it says, "he heard my voice,
00:02:16.519 --> 00:02:19.155
It says, "he heard my voice, and my cry came before him,
00:02:19.222 --> 00:02:21.591
And my cry came before him, even to his ears."
00:02:21.658 --> 00:02:23.560
Even to his ears." david was saying that god
00:02:23.626 --> 00:02:24.928
David was saying that god is sitting in heaven cupping
00:02:24.994 --> 00:02:26.563
Is sitting in heaven cupping his hands behind
00:02:26.629 --> 00:02:27.697
His hands behind his ears saying,
00:02:27.764 --> 00:02:28.898
His ears saying, "talk to me.
00:02:28.965 --> 00:02:29.732
"talk to me. tell me what it is
00:02:29.799 --> 00:02:30.700
Tell me what it is that you need.
00:02:30.767 --> 00:02:31.601
That you need. call upon me so i can show
00:02:31.668 --> 00:02:33.436
Call upon me so i can show you great and mighty things
00:02:33.503 --> 00:02:35.205
You great and mighty things that you know not."
00:02:35.271 --> 00:02:36.239
That you know not." in the next several verses
00:02:36.306 --> 00:02:38.074
In the next several verses right after david says,
00:02:38.141 --> 00:02:39.142
Right after david says, "i called upon the lord."
00:02:39.209 --> 00:02:40.810
"i called upon the lord." from verse 7
00:02:40.877 --> 00:02:41.578
From verse 7 all the way to 19,
00:02:41.644 --> 00:02:43.346
All the way to 19, look at the list of things
00:02:43.413 --> 00:02:44.681
Look at the list of things that david said god
00:02:44.747 --> 00:02:45.982
That david said god did to his enemies.
00:02:46.049 --> 00:02:47.283
Did to his enemies. david called upon
00:02:47.350 --> 00:02:48.451
David called upon god in his distress.
00:02:48.518 --> 00:02:50.153
God in his distress. he says,
00:02:50.220 --> 00:02:50.753
He says, "i'm down here facing a giant."
00:02:50.820 --> 00:02:52.622
"i'm down here facing a giant." god says,
00:02:52.689 --> 00:02:53.289
God says, "i've got an answer
00:02:53.356 --> 00:02:54.023
"i've got an answer for the giant."
00:02:54.090 --> 00:02:54.557
For the giant." "i'm down here facing an army."
00:02:54.624 --> 00:02:56.426
"i'm down here facing an army." god says,
00:02:56.492 --> 00:02:57.126
God says, "i've got an answer
00:02:57.193 --> 00:02:57.594
"i've got an answer for the army."
00:02:57.660 --> 00:02:58.394
For the army." "i'm down here facing
00:02:58.461 --> 00:02:59.429
"i'm down here facing an insurrection."
00:02:59.495 --> 00:03:00.363
An insurrection." god says,
00:03:00.430 --> 00:03:00.930
God says, "i've got an answer
00:03:00.997 --> 00:03:01.531
"i've got an answer for the insurrection."
00:03:01.598 --> 00:03:02.932
For the insurrection." and for the next several verses,
00:03:02.999 --> 00:03:04.133
And for the next several verses, he says,
00:03:04.200 --> 00:03:04.801
He says, "the earth shook,
00:03:04.867 --> 00:03:06.302
"the earth shook, the hills quaked.
00:03:06.369 --> 00:03:07.670
The hills quaked. god got so angry that
00:03:07.737 --> 00:03:09.505
God got so angry that smoke came out of his nostrils
00:03:09.572 --> 00:03:11.474
Smoke came out of his nostrils and fire came out
00:03:11.541 --> 00:03:12.542
And fire came out of his mouth."
00:03:12.609 --> 00:03:13.476
Of his mouth." you may have known some people
00:03:13.543 --> 00:03:14.844
You may have known some people that you thought
00:03:14.911 --> 00:03:15.545
That you thought they could get mad,
00:03:15.612 --> 00:03:16.579
They could get mad, but you don't know anybody
00:03:16.646 --> 00:03:17.580
But you don't know anybody can get that mad.
00:03:17.647 --> 00:03:20.416
Can get that mad. what is prayer?
00:03:20.483 --> 00:03:22.585
What is prayer? people use the word
00:03:22.652 --> 00:03:23.486
People use the word all the time,
00:03:23.553 --> 00:03:23.920
All the time, but very few really
00:03:23.987 --> 00:03:24.687
But very few really understand its definition.
00:03:24.754 --> 00:03:26.889
Understand its definition. and in order to get
00:03:26.956 --> 00:03:27.790
And in order to get a definition,
00:03:27.857 --> 00:03:28.691
A definition, you have to use
00:03:28.758 --> 00:03:29.692
You have to use the source of truth,
00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:30.526
The source of truth, which is the word of god.
00:03:30.593 --> 00:03:33.429
Which is the word of god. prayer is not something you
00:03:33.496 --> 00:03:34.397
Prayer is not something you do on the sideline
00:03:34.464 --> 00:03:35.665
Do on the sideline at a football game.
00:03:35.732 --> 00:03:38.034
At a football game. "oh lord, please let us win."
00:03:38.101 --> 00:03:43.039
"oh lord, please let us win." if you're a cowboys fan,
00:03:43.106 --> 00:03:44.073
If you're a cowboys fan, you need to fast and pray.
00:03:44.140 --> 00:03:45.708
[laughter]
00:03:46.142 --> 00:03:50.580
I mean,
00:03:50.880 --> 00:03:51.281
I mean, these kind come out
00:03:51.347 --> 00:03:52.448
These kind come out but by fasting and prayer.
00:03:52.515 --> 00:03:58.688
But by fasting and prayer. but when you look at the bible,
00:03:58.755 --> 00:03:59.856
But when you look at the bible, you come to understand that
00:03:59.922 --> 00:04:01.624
You come to understand that prayer has a very
00:04:01.691 --> 00:04:02.725
Prayer has a very real definition,
00:04:02.792 --> 00:04:03.559
Real definition, and the first thing
00:04:03.626 --> 00:04:04.193
And the first thing that you see is that prayer
00:04:04.260 --> 00:04:05.928
That you see is that prayer is not a monologue,
00:04:05.995 --> 00:04:07.597
Is not a monologue, prayer is a dialogue.
00:04:07.664 --> 00:04:10.933
Prayer is a dialogue. what does that mean?
00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:11.567
What does that mean? that means that prayer
00:04:11.634 --> 00:04:12.835
That means that prayer is not you talking to god
00:04:12.902 --> 00:04:14.570
Is not you talking to god and god listening,
00:04:14.637 --> 00:04:16.739
And god listening, prayer is a heavenly
00:04:16.806 --> 00:04:18.141
Prayer is a heavenly conversation that you get
00:04:18.207 --> 00:04:19.709
Conversation that you get in with the creator
00:04:19.776 --> 00:04:20.910
In with the creator of heaven and earth.
00:04:20.977 --> 00:04:21.711
Of heaven and earth. and not only do you
00:04:21.778 --> 00:04:22.612
And not only do you speak to him,
00:04:22.679 --> 00:04:23.846
Speak to him, but he speaks to you.
00:04:23.913 --> 00:04:27.684
But he speaks to you. but like all dialogue,
00:04:27.750 --> 00:04:29.218
But like all dialogue, you have to learn how
00:04:29.285 --> 00:04:30.320
You have to learn how to communicate effectively
00:04:30.386 --> 00:04:32.221
To communicate effectively with the person that
00:04:32.288 --> 00:04:33.022
With the person that you're in conversation with.
00:04:33.089 --> 00:04:35.792
You're in conversation with. the more you know someone,
00:04:35.858 --> 00:04:37.293
The more you know someone, the more efficient you are
00:04:37.360 --> 00:04:39.562
The more efficient you are at understanding
00:04:39.629 --> 00:04:40.430
At understanding what they're saying.
00:04:40.496 --> 00:04:41.297
What they're saying. you learn the sound
00:04:41.364 --> 00:04:42.332
You learn the sound of their voice.
00:04:42.398 --> 00:04:43.032
Of their voice. you learn what they say
00:04:43.099 --> 00:04:44.834
You learn what they say and how they say it.
00:04:44.901 --> 00:04:48.204
And how they say it. you have to get to know somebody
00:04:48.271 --> 00:04:50.006
You have to get to know somebody before you can
00:04:50.073 --> 00:04:50.773
Before you can communicate effectively.
00:04:50.840 --> 00:04:52.942
Communicate effectively. and sometimes,
00:04:53.009 --> 00:04:53.576
And sometimes, people get frustrated because
00:04:53.643 --> 00:04:54.944
People get frustrated because they don't feel like
00:04:55.011 --> 00:04:55.511
They don't feel like they're effective in prayer.
00:04:55.578 --> 00:04:56.879
They're effective in prayer. and the reason they're not
00:04:56.946 --> 00:04:57.680
And the reason they're not effective in prayer is because
00:04:57.747 --> 00:04:58.881
Effective in prayer is because you haven't learned
00:04:58.948 --> 00:04:59.682
You haven't learned what god sounds like.
00:04:59.749 --> 00:05:02.719
What god sounds like. people say,
00:05:02.785 --> 00:05:03.252
People say, "oh no, i would know
00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:04.187
"oh no, i would know exactly what god would say
00:05:04.253 --> 00:05:05.822
Exactly what god would say if he said it to me."
00:05:05.888 --> 00:05:06.689
If he said it to me." no, you wouldn't.
00:05:06.756 --> 00:05:07.323
No, you wouldn't. read the bible.
00:05:07.390 --> 00:05:07.990
Read the bible. samuel heard god's voice three
00:05:08.057 --> 00:05:10.259
Samuel heard god's voice three times in one night before
00:05:10.326 --> 00:05:12.228
Times in one night before he figured out who it was.
00:05:12.295 --> 00:05:14.731
He figured out who it was. you've got to get
00:05:14.797 --> 00:05:15.298
You've got to get to know somebody.

Stop until heaven moves. i'm not gonna stop
00:08:17.980 --> 00:08:19.248
I'm not gonna stop until hearts break.
00:08:19.315 --> 00:08:20.583
Until hearts break. i'm not gonna stop until
00:08:20.650 --> 00:08:22.118
I'm not gonna stop until bodies are healed."
00:08:22.184 --> 00:08:23.452
Bodies are healed." do you have a son?
00:08:23.519 --> 00:08:24.554
Do you have a son? do you have a daughter?

Do you have a daughter? do you have a family
00:08:25.555 --> 00:08:26.389
Do you have a family member in the far country?
00:08:26.455 --> 00:08:27.957

That needs jesus? he knows about the need today.
00:08:33.963 --> 00:08:36.065
He knows about the need today. don't stop praying until
00:08:36.132 --> 00:08:37.600
Don't stop praying until he breaks through.
00:08:37.667 --> 00:08:38.701
He breaks through. understand that when you
00:08:38.768 --> 00:08:40.136
Understand that when you go into heavenly places
00:08:40.202 --> 00:08:41.804
Go into heavenly places and you pray in jesus' name,
00:08:41.871 --> 00:08:43.773

00:08:45.174 --> 00:08:46.809

00:08:50.246 --> 00:08:51.480
The knowledge of god. so, when you go
00:08:51.547 --> 00:08:52.582
So, when you go to heavenly places,
00:08:52.648 --> 00:08:53.716
To heavenly places, let god arise and let
00:08:53.783 --> 00:08:55.017
Let god arise and let his enemies be scattered.
00:08:55.084 --> 00:08:56.686
[applause]
00:08:57.119 --> 00:09:02.425
Prayer is something
00:09:03.859 --> 00:09:04.760
Prayer is something you have to learn to do.
00:09:04.827 --> 00:09:07.229
You have to learn to do. that's why the disciples said,
00:09:07.296 --> 00:09:08.431
That's why the disciples said, "lord, teach us to pray."
00:09:08.497 --> 00:09:11.567
"lord, teach us to pray." not that they
00:09:11.634 --> 00:09:12.268
Not that they didn't try praying,
00:09:12.335 --> 00:09:13.369
Didn't try praying, but they recognized
00:09:13.436 --> 00:09:14.337
But they recognized that when jesus prayed,
00:09:14.403 --> 00:09:15.671
That when jesus prayed, something different happened.
00:09:15.738 --> 00:09:18.174
Something different happened. when jesus prayed,
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:19.175
When jesus prayed, five loaves
00:09:19.241 --> 00:09:19.875
Five loaves and two fish fed 5,000.
00:09:19.942 --> 00:09:22.545
And two fish fed 5,000. when jesus prayed,
00:09:22.612 --> 00:09:23.512
When jesus prayed, lazarus who was dead
00:09:23.579 --> 00:09:24.780
Lazarus who was dead got out of his grave.
00:09:24.847 --> 00:09:25.848
Got out of his grave. when jesus prayed,
00:09:25.915 --> 00:09:27.283
When jesus prayed, the lame could leap,
00:09:27.350 --> 00:09:28.250
The lame could leap, demon possessed were
00:09:28.317 --> 00:09:29.118
Demon possessed were set free, storms stopped.
00:09:29.185 --> 00:09:33.322
Set free, storms stopped. and they said,
00:09:33.389 --> 00:09:33.956
And they said, "we wanna pray like you pray,
00:09:34.023 --> 00:09:36.158
"we wanna pray like you pray, so teach us how to do that."
00:09:36.225 --> 00:09:39.362
So teach us how to do that." here's a question,
00:09:39.428 --> 00:09:40.997
Here's a question, if jesus christ,
00:09:41.063 --> 00:09:42.598
If jesus christ, the word made flesh,
00:09:42.665 --> 00:09:43.966
The word made flesh, needed to pray, do you?
00:09:44.033 --> 00:09:48.037
Needed to pray, do you? if he prioritized prayer,
00:09:48.104 --> 00:09:50.106
If he prioritized prayer, shouldn't you?
00:09:50.172 --> 00:09:53.409
Shouldn't you? the disciples wanted to know,
00:09:53.476 --> 00:09:54.644
The disciples wanted to know, "how do you do what you do?
00:09:54.710 --> 00:09:56.612
"how do you do what you do? teach us to do it."
00:09:56.679 --> 00:09:58.748
Teach us to do it." and jesus taught them.
00:09:58.814 --> 00:10:01.584
And jesus taught them. and then he gave
00:10:01.651 --> 00:10:02.318
And then he gave them this promise.
00:10:02.385 --> 00:10:04.620
Them this promise. "greater things than
00:10:04.687 --> 00:10:05.521
"greater things than these shall you do."
00:10:05.588 --> 00:10:08.290
These shall you do." how could jesus make such
00:10:08.357 --> 00:10:09.692
How could jesus make such a promise when he's immortal
00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:11.427
A promise when he's immortal and man is mortal?
00:10:11.494 --> 00:10:12.561
And man is mortal? how could the god
00:10:12.628 --> 00:10:14.030
How could the god who is the truth, the way,
00:10:14.096 --> 00:10:15.398
Who is the truth, the way, and the life say something
00:10:15.464 --> 00:10:16.999
And the life say something to individuals that
00:10:17.066 --> 00:10:18.300
To individuals that are just flesh and blood.
00:10:18.367 --> 00:10:20.603
Are just flesh and blood. because he taught them to pray.
00:10:20.670 --> 00:10:24.540
Because he taught them to pray. when you pray like jesus prayed,
00:10:24.607 --> 00:10:26.208
When you pray like jesus prayed, you can do what jesus did.
00:10:26.275 --> 00:10:29.812
You can do what jesus did. too often, people get
00:10:29.879 --> 00:10:30.713
Too often, people get discouraged by prayer,
00:10:30.780 --> 00:10:34.483
Discouraged by prayer, and that's just exactly
00:10:34.550 --> 00:10:35.618
And that's just exactly what the devil wants you to do.
00:10:35.685 --> 00:10:36.886
What the devil wants you to do. be discouraged about praying.
00:10:36.952 --> 00:10:39.555
Be discouraged about praying. why?
00:10:39.622 --> 00:10:40.056
Why? because when you pray,
00:10:40.122 --> 00:10:40.956
Because when you pray, you defeat him.
00:10:41.023 --> 00:10:44.527
You defeat him. people say,
00:10:44.593 --> 00:10:45.094
People say, "well, i don't know
00:10:45.161 --> 00:10:45.594
"well, i don't know how to pray.
00:10:45.661 --> 00:10:46.028
How to pray. i don't know what words to say.
00:10:46.095 --> 00:10:47.263
I don't know what words to say. i don't know the right phrases.
00:10:47.329 --> 00:10:49.799
I don't know the right phrases. and it's probably because
00:10:49.865 --> 00:10:50.633
And it's probably because you've been around people
00:10:50.700 --> 00:10:51.534
You've been around people who speak what
00:10:51.600 --> 00:10:52.334
Who speak what i call "christianese."
00:10:52.401 --> 00:10:55.404
I call "christianese." and they memorize the right,
00:10:55.471 --> 00:10:57.006
And they memorize the right, "father gods"
00:10:57.073 --> 00:10:57.840
"father gods" and "our fathers" and,
00:10:57.907 --> 00:11:00.242
And "our fathers" and, "ye, verily, thus, and so's."
00:11:00.309 --> 00:11:03.979
"ye, verily, thus, and so's." i mean, it's amazing to me
00:11:04.046 --> 00:11:05.114
I mean, it's amazing to me that people who speak
00:11:05.181 --> 00:11:06.148
That people who speak poor english can
00:11:06.215 --> 00:11:07.149
Poor english can get elizabethan when they pray.
00:11:07.216 --> 00:11:08.951
[laughter]
00:11:09.719 --> 00:11:12.221
And yet,
00:11:13.255 --> 00:11:13.589
And yet, when you read the bible,
00:11:13.656 --> 00:11:14.590
When you read the bible, jesus said in matthew,
00:11:14.657 --> 00:11:17.393
Jesus said in matthew, "when you pray,
00:11:17.460 --> 00:11:18.127
"when you pray, do not use vain repetitions
00:11:18.194 --> 00:11:19.829
Do not use vain repetitions like the heathens do,
00:11:19.895 --> 00:11:22.131
Like the heathens do, for the father already
00:11:22.198 --> 00:11:23.132
For the father already knows what you need."
00:11:23.199 --> 00:11:27.369
Knows what you need." jesus gave you permission,
00:11:27.436 --> 00:11:28.504
Jesus gave you permission, even if you use
00:11:28.571 --> 00:11:29.405
Even if you use the simplest language,
00:11:29.472 --> 00:11:30.973
The simplest language, just say it plain and in faith
00:11:31.040 --> 00:11:33.442
Just say it plain and in faith because god already
00:11:33.509 --> 00:11:34.443
Because god already knows what you need.
00:11:34.510 --> 00:11:37.780
Knows what you need. there's so much in the bible
00:11:37.847 --> 00:11:39.014
There's so much in the bible that you could teach on prayer
00:11:39.081 --> 00:11:40.116
That you could teach on prayer for months on end.
00:11:40.182 --> 00:11:42.151
For months on end. but very quickly in the rest
00:11:42.218 --> 00:11:43.185
But very quickly in the rest of this sermon,
00:11:43.252 --> 00:11:43.919
Of this sermon, i wanna share with you
00:11:43.986 --> 00:11:44.754
I wanna share with you five things that you need
00:11:44.820 --> 00:11:45.855
Five things that you need to do when it comes to prayer.
00:11:45.921 --> 00:11:48.457
To do when it comes to prayer. the first thing that you
00:11:48.524 --> 00:11:49.291
The first thing that you need to know about prayer
00:11:49.358 --> 00:11:50.593
Need to know about prayer is that as
00:11:50.659 --> 00:11:51.293
Is that as powerful as god is,
00:11:51.360 --> 00:11:52.762
Powerful as god is, he cannot answer prayer
00:11:52.828 --> 00:11:54.263
He cannot answer prayer until you pray it.
00:11:54.330 --> 00:11:57.566
Until you pray it. what do i mean?
00:11:57.633 --> 00:11:58.467
What do i mean? i mean you actually have
00:11:58.534 --> 00:11:59.769
I mean you actually have to open up your mouth
00:11:59.835 --> 00:12:01.437
To open up your mouth and make the request.
00:12:01.504 --> 00:12:04.974
And make the request. people say, "well, what about
00:12:05.040 --> 00:12:05.775
People say, "well, what about silent prayer?"
00:12:05.841 --> 00:12:06.876
Silent prayer?" there is no silent prayer.
00:12:06.942 --> 00:12:08.310
There is no silent prayer. those aren't prayers,
00:12:08.377 --> 00:12:09.044
Those aren't prayers, those are thoughts.
00:12:09.111 --> 00:12:11.781
Those are thoughts. "well, i have an
00:12:11.847 --> 00:12:12.515
"well, i have an unspoken request."
00:12:12.581 --> 00:12:13.883
Unspoken request." find that in the bible.
00:12:13.949 --> 00:12:17.019
Find that in the bible. even jesus,
00:12:17.086 --> 00:12:17.887
Even jesus, when he saw people
00:12:17.953 --> 00:12:18.821
When he saw people who were lame,
00:12:18.888 --> 00:12:19.622
Who were lame, what did he say?
00:12:19.688 --> 00:12:21.757
What did he say? "do you wanna be made well?"
00:12:21.824 --> 00:12:24.026
"do you wanna be made well?" and they didn't go.
00:12:24.093 --> 00:12:25.628
Unspoken.
00:12:30.900 --> 00:12:34.637
Unspoken. they had to look at him
00:12:34.703 --> 00:12:35.337
They had to look at him and say, "yes."
00:12:35.404 --> 00:12:38.140
And say, "yes." you have to open your mouth
00:12:38.207 --> 00:12:39.375
You have to open your mouth when you pray.
00:12:39.441 --> 00:12:40.109
When you pray. why?
00:12:40.176 --> 00:12:40.643
Why? because there is something
00:12:40.709 --> 00:12:41.510
Because there is something powerful about
00:12:41.577 --> 00:12:43.479
Powerful about the declaration of your mouth.
00:12:43.546 --> 00:12:46.382
The declaration of your mouth. the bible teaches us
00:12:46.448 --> 00:12:47.216
The bible teaches us that the power of life
00:12:47.283 --> 00:12:48.250
That the power of life and death is in the tongue.
00:12:48.317 --> 00:12:50.319
And death is in the tongue. and when you open your mouth
00:12:50.386 --> 00:12:51.687
And when you open your mouth and you begin praying,
00:12:51.754 --> 00:12:52.822
And you begin praying, you begin unleashing the power
00:12:52.888 --> 00:12:54.790
You begin unleashing the power of god's presence
00:12:54.857 --> 00:12:55.858
Of god's presence and his purpose in your life.
00:12:55.925 --> 00:12:57.893
And his purpose in your life. the bible says,
00:12:57.960 --> 00:12:58.661
The bible says, "you have not because
00:12:58.727 --> 00:13:00.529
"you have not because you ask not."
00:13:00.596 --> 00:13:02.264
You ask not." not because you
00:13:02.331 --> 00:13:02.865
Not because you didn't think right.
00:13:02.932 --> 00:13:04.934
Didn't think right. it says,
00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:05.467
It says, you can think all you want to,
00:13:05.534 --> 00:13:07.036
You can think all you want to, but nothing happens
00:13:07.102 --> 00:13:08.137
But nothing happens until you ask.
00:13:08.204 --> 00:13:10.406
Until you ask. jesus said,
00:13:10.472 --> 00:13:11.040
Jesus said, "ask and you shall receive."
00:13:11.106 --> 00:13:14.243
"ask and you shall receive." which means you have
00:13:14.310 --> 00:13:14.877
Which means you have to open your mouth and ask.
00:13:14.944 --> 00:13:18.614
To open your mouth and ask. do you know why god gave
00:13:18.681 --> 00:13:19.682
Do you know why god gave you the ability to talk?
00:13:19.748 --> 00:13:22.384
You the ability to talk? not so you could argue
00:13:22.451 --> 00:13:23.219
Not so you could argue with your wife in traffic.
00:13:23.285 --> 00:13:26.322
With your wife in traffic. god gave you the ability
00:13:26.388 --> 00:13:27.523
God gave you the ability to talk so that you
00:13:27.590 --> 00:13:28.591
To talk so that you could communicate with him.
00:13:28.657 --> 00:13:31.527
Could communicate with him. and when you communicate
00:13:31.594 --> 00:13:32.928
And when you communicate with him,
00:13:32.995 --> 00:13:33.529
With him, you gain the opportunity
00:13:33.596 --> 00:13:35.331
You gain the opportunity to see the impossible
00:13:35.397 --> 00:13:36.532
To see the impossible done in your life.
00:13:36.599 --> 00:13:37.967
Done in your life. mark 11.
00:13:38.033 --> 00:13:39.602
Mark 11. it says,
00:13:39.668 --> 00:13:40.102
It says, "have faith in god for whosoever
00:13:40.169 --> 00:13:43.239
"have faith in god for whosoever shall not doubt in his
00:13:43.305 --> 00:13:44.440
Shall not doubt in his heart but believe,
00:13:44.506 --> 00:13:45.875
Heart but believe, he shall see all
00:13:45.941 --> 00:13:47.443
He shall see all things come to pass.
00:13:47.509 --> 00:13:48.978
Things come to pass. and whatever he says,"
00:13:49.044 --> 00:13:52.348
And whatever he says," verse 23,
00:13:52.414 --> 00:13:53.382
Verse 23, "whatever he says,"
00:13:53.449 --> 00:13:57.019
"whatever he says," say that with me.
00:13:57.086 --> 00:13:58.053
Say that with me. "whatever he says,
00:13:58.120 --> 00:14:01.957
"whatever he says, god will do it."
00:14:02.024 --> 00:14:04.426
God will do it." but you have to say it.
00:14:04.493 --> 00:14:06.161
But you have to say it. god loves to hear from you.
00:14:06.228 --> 00:14:08.130
God loves to hear from you. god wants to hear from you.
00:14:08.197 --> 00:14:10.099
God wants to hear from you. god wants him to be the first
00:14:10.165 --> 00:14:11.867
God wants him to be the first person that you speak to.
00:14:11.934 --> 00:14:14.670
Person that you speak to. in psalm 63, we read,
00:14:14.737 --> 00:14:16.238
In psalm 63, we read, "oh god,
00:14:16.305 --> 00:14:16.872
"oh god, you are my god
00:14:16.939 --> 00:14:17.873
You are my god and early will i seek you."
00:14:17.940 --> 00:14:20.910
And early will i seek you." now, i need to clean
00:14:20.976 --> 00:14:21.644
Now, i need to clean this verse up for you
00:14:21.710 --> 00:14:22.578
This verse up for you so you get it in its original
00:14:22.645 --> 00:14:23.679
So you get it in its original context and not in the modern
00:14:23.746 --> 00:14:25.481
Context and not in the modern twist because some
00:14:25.547 --> 00:14:27.449
Twist because some people take this verse,
00:14:27.516 --> 00:14:28.617
People take this verse, and they say david was
00:14:28.684 --> 00:14:29.785
And they say david was so passionate about the lord,
00:14:29.852 --> 00:14:31.153
So passionate about the lord, he got up early
00:14:31.220 --> 00:14:32.488
He got up early and he sought him.
00:14:32.554 --> 00:14:33.722
And he sought him. and that's not what it says.
00:14:33.789 --> 00:14:35.925
And that's not what it says. first, let's deal with,
00:14:35.991 --> 00:14:36.792
First, let's deal with, "god, you are my god."
00:14:36.859 --> 00:14:38.360
"god, you are my god." was david repeating himself?
00:14:38.427 --> 00:14:39.695
Was david repeating himself? no.
00:14:39.762 --> 00:14:41.063
No. the english language is pretty
00:14:41.130 --> 00:14:42.765
The english language is pretty pathetic when it comes
00:14:42.831 --> 00:14:43.999
Pathetic when it comes to interpretation.
00:14:44.066 --> 00:14:45.668
To interpretation. for example, in hebrew,
00:14:45.734 --> 00:14:46.835
For example, in hebrew, there are many names
00:14:46.902 --> 00:14:47.903
There are many names for god based on
00:14:47.970 --> 00:14:48.871
For god based on god's character.
00:14:48.938 --> 00:14:50.940
God's character. so, when david says,
00:14:51.006 --> 00:14:51.807
So, when david says, "god, you are my god,"
00:14:51.874 --> 00:14:53.208
"god, you are my god," what he's actually
00:14:53.275 --> 00:14:53.976
What he's actually saying in hebrew is,
00:14:54.043 --> 00:14:55.544
Saying in hebrew is, "elohim, you are my
00:14:55.611 --> 00:14:57.179
"elohim, you are my el shaddai."
00:14:57.246 --> 00:14:58.948
El shaddai." he called him
00:14:59.014 --> 00:14:59.615
He called him two different names.
00:14:59.682 --> 00:15:02.184
Two different names. you say,
00:15:02.251 --> 00:15:02.618
You say, "well, that's, kinda, silly."
00:15:02.685 --> 00:15:03.352
"well, that's, kinda, silly." no, it's not.
00:15:03.419 --> 00:15:04.887
No, it's not. you ever looked at your wife
00:15:04.954 --> 00:15:05.587
You ever looked at your wife and said,
00:15:05.654 --> 00:15:06.455
And said, "honey, baby, darling, love?"
00:15:06.522 --> 00:15:09.124
[laughter]
00:15:09.758 --> 00:15:15.831
You've got several names
00:15:17.032 --> 00:15:17.967
You've got several names for people that you're
00:15:18.033 --> 00:15:18.667
For people that you're affectionate with.
00:15:18.734 --> 00:15:20.836
Affectionate with. and what david was saying
00:15:20.903 --> 00:15:21.770
And what david was saying to god, elohim means,
00:15:21.837 --> 00:15:24.139
To god, elohim means, "the god who can do anything."
00:15:24.206 --> 00:15:27.142
"the god who can do anything." and el shaddai means,
00:15:27.209 --> 00:15:28.544
And el shaddai means, "the all sufficient one."
00:15:28.610 --> 00:15:30.746
"the all sufficient one." he was letting everybody know
00:15:30.813 --> 00:15:32.581
He was letting everybody know that the god who can do anything
00:15:32.648 --> 00:15:34.850
That the god who can do anything was his all sufficient one.
00:15:34.917 --> 00:15:37.786
Was his all sufficient one. and then when he said,
00:15:37.853 --> 00:15:38.821
And then when he said, "early will i seek you,"
00:15:38.887 --> 00:15:40.622
"early will i seek you," he's not talking about
00:15:40.689 --> 00:15:41.857
He's not talking about the time of day,
00:15:41.924 --> 00:15:42.691
The time of day, he's talking about priority.
00:15:42.758 --> 00:15:44.493
He's talking about priority. before i talk to anybody else,
00:15:44.560 --> 00:15:46.795
Before i talk to anybody else, i'm gonna talk to you.
00:15:46.862 --> 00:15:49.665
I'm gonna talk to you. so, what does this mean?
00:15:49.732 --> 00:15:50.733
So, what does this mean? this means when somebody comes
00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:51.900
This means when somebody comes up to you and pompously says,
00:15:51.967 --> 00:15:53.402
Up to you and pompously says, "i rise before the sun
00:15:53.469 --> 00:15:55.137
"i rise before the sun to speak with the lord."
00:15:55.204 --> 00:15:57.106
To speak with the lord." good for you.
00:15:57.172 --> 00:15:58.273
[laughter]
00:15:58.674 --> 00:15:59.341
Sleep in.
00:16:00.009 --> 00:16:00.709
Sleep in. you might enjoy it better.
00:16:00.776 --> 00:16:03.812
You might enjoy it better. this is not about
00:16:03.879 --> 00:16:04.580
This is not about the hour of day.
00:16:04.646 --> 00:16:05.514
The hour of day. god is not a space and time god.
00:16:05.581 --> 00:16:08.817
God is not a space and time god. this is about priority.
00:16:08.884 --> 00:16:10.185
This is about priority. what david is saying is
00:16:10.252 --> 00:16:11.453
What david is saying is when you prioritize god
00:16:11.520 --> 00:16:13.455
When you prioritize god as the first place
00:16:13.522 --> 00:16:14.623
As the first place that you'll call upon,
00:16:14.690 --> 00:16:15.958
That you'll call upon, when you go to him before
00:16:16.025 --> 00:16:17.693
When you go to him before go to anybody else,
00:16:17.760 --> 00:16:18.961
Go to anybody else, when you speak to the god
00:16:19.028 --> 00:16:20.729
When you speak to the god who can do anything
00:16:20.796 --> 00:16:22.097
Who can do anything and he's the all sufficient one,
00:16:22.164 --> 00:16:23.832
And he's the all sufficient one, you're going to find answers
00:16:23.899 --> 00:16:25.267
You're going to find answers for problems,
00:16:25.334 --> 00:16:26.135
For problems, and you're going to find
00:16:26.201 --> 00:16:27.102
And you're going to find solutions in days
00:16:27.169 --> 00:16:28.270
Solutions in days of trouble,
00:16:28.337 --> 00:16:29.038
Of trouble, and you're gonna find
00:16:29.104 --> 00:16:29.838
And you're gonna find victories in hours
00:16:29.905 --> 00:16:31.206
Victories in hours where you're under distress
00:16:31.273 --> 00:16:32.674
Where you're under distress because that's the kind
00:16:32.741 --> 00:16:33.675
Because that's the kind of god that you serve.
00:16:33.742 --> 00:16:35.010
[applause]
00:16:36.145 --> 00:16:41.683
The second thing you
00:16:42.151 --> 00:16:42.651
The second thing you need to know about prayer is
00:16:42.718 --> 00:16:44.520
Need to know about prayer is that when you start praying,
00:16:44.586 --> 00:16:46.155
That when you start praying, don't talk about you,
00:16:46.221 --> 00:16:47.756
Don't talk about you, talk about him.
00:16:47.823 --> 00:16:50.759
Talk about him. how did jesus teach
00:16:50.826 --> 00:16:51.660
How did jesus teach the disciples to pray?
00:16:51.727 --> 00:16:52.895
The disciples to pray? "our father."
00:16:52.961 --> 00:16:57.733
"our father." often, i hear people
00:16:57.800 --> 00:16:58.567
Often, i hear people say things like,
00:16:58.634 --> 00:16:59.301
Say things like, "well, i just can't pray
00:16:59.368 --> 00:17:00.035
"well, i just can't pray for a few minutes.
00:17:00.102 --> 00:17:00.836
For a few minutes. it's two or three minutes
00:17:00.903 --> 00:17:02.071
It's two or three minutes of prayer and then i'm out
00:17:02.137 --> 00:17:03.072
Of prayer and then i'm out of things to talk about."
00:17:03.138 --> 00:17:03.906
Of things to talk about." it's because you're talking
00:17:03.972 --> 00:17:04.673
It's because you're talking about the wrong thing.
00:17:04.740 --> 00:17:07.209
About the wrong thing. you're a limited topic, sorry.
00:17:07.276 --> 00:17:10.446
You're a limited topic, sorry. but god is
00:17:10.512 --> 00:17:11.013
But god is an endless conversation.
00:17:11.080 --> 00:17:13.549
An endless conversation. and when you start talking
00:17:13.615 --> 00:17:14.883
And when you start talking in heavenly places,
00:17:14.950 --> 00:17:15.951
In heavenly places, you need to know that
00:17:16.018 --> 00:17:16.819
You need to know that not only are you speaking
00:17:16.885 --> 00:17:17.786
Not only are you speaking to the throne room of grace,
00:17:17.853 --> 00:17:19.121
To the throne room of grace, but you are also in an
00:17:19.188 --> 00:17:20.222
But you are also in an atmosphere where there
00:17:20.289 --> 00:17:21.356
Atmosphere where there are powers and principalities,
00:17:21.423 --> 00:17:23.092
Are powers and principalities, and other spiritual forces.
00:17:23.158 --> 00:17:24.893
And other spiritual forces. and so, when you go into
00:17:24.960 --> 00:17:26.128
And so, when you go into heavenly places and you start
00:17:26.195 --> 00:17:27.429
Heavenly places and you start talking about, "our father,"
00:17:27.496 --> 00:17:29.765
Talking about, "our father," and you're talking about
00:17:29.832 --> 00:17:30.966
And you're talking about the alpha and the omega,
00:17:31.033 --> 00:17:32.935
The alpha and the omega, you're letting every power
00:17:33.001 --> 00:17:34.136
You're letting every power and principality know
00:17:34.203 --> 00:17:35.304
And principality know that you're not
00:17:35.370 --> 00:17:36.071
That you're not just knocking on any door,
00:17:36.138 --> 00:17:37.606
Just knocking on any door, you're going directly
00:17:37.673 --> 00:17:38.474
You're going directly to the king above kings
00:17:38.540 --> 00:17:39.908
To the king above kings and the lord above lords.
00:17:39.975 --> 00:17:41.276
And the lord above lords. you say,
00:17:41.343 --> 00:17:41.777
You say, "god, i'm coming into
00:17:41.844 --> 00:17:43.212
"god, i'm coming into heavenly places today because
00:17:43.278 --> 00:17:44.780
Heavenly places today because you are the creator of heaven,
00:17:44.847 --> 00:17:46.415
You are the creator of heaven, and you are
00:17:46.482 --> 00:17:47.082
And you are the creator of earth.
00:17:47.149 --> 00:17:48.250
The creator of earth. you are the shepherd
00:17:48.317 --> 00:17:49.184
You are the shepherd of the stars.
00:17:49.251 --> 00:17:50.018
Of the stars. you have them numbered
00:17:50.085 --> 00:17:51.320
You have them numbered and you call them by name.
00:17:51.386 --> 00:17:52.754
And you call them by name. you're the one who sits
00:17:52.821 --> 00:17:53.922
You're the one who sits on the circle of the earth,
00:17:53.989 --> 00:17:55.390
On the circle of the earth, and you hold the mountains
00:17:55.457 --> 00:17:56.658
And you hold the mountains in a scale and the hills
00:17:56.725 --> 00:17:58.026
In a scale and the hills in a balance.
00:17:58.093 --> 00:17:59.027
In a balance. i'm calling on the god
00:17:59.094 --> 00:18:00.662
I'm calling on the god of abraham, isaac, and jacob,
00:18:00.729 --> 00:18:02.798
Of abraham, isaac, and jacob, who keeps his covenant
00:18:02.865 --> 00:18:03.932
Who keeps his covenant for a thousand generations.
00:18:03.999 --> 00:18:05.667
For a thousand generations. i'm calling on the mighty god
00:18:05.734 --> 00:18:07.469
I'm calling on the mighty god who is able to save
00:18:07.536 --> 00:18:08.837
Who is able to save and mighty to deliver.
00:18:08.904 --> 00:18:10.205
And mighty to deliver. i'm calling on him who has never
00:18:10.272 --> 00:18:12.441
I'm calling on him who has never failed and will not fail me now.
00:18:12.508 --> 00:18:14.409
[applause]
00:18:15.277 --> 00:18:20.949
Go into heavenly places
00:18:21.383 --> 00:18:22.284
Go into heavenly places and make sure that you let
00:18:22.351 --> 00:18:23.485
And make sure that you let everybody know who
00:18:23.552 --> 00:18:24.319
Everybody know who you're talking to.
00:18:24.386 --> 00:18:26.688
You're talking to. the third thing that you do when
00:18:26.755 --> 00:18:27.689
The third thing that you do when you pray is that when you pray,
00:18:27.756 --> 00:18:31.360
You pray is that when you pray, you thank god
00:18:31.426 --> 00:18:32.694
You thank god for what he has done.
00:18:32.761 --> 00:18:36.031
For what he has done. the bible says,
00:18:36.098 --> 00:18:36.632
The bible says, "put on the garment of praise
00:18:36.698 --> 00:18:39.635
"put on the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness."
00:18:39.701 --> 00:18:43.105
For the spirit of heaviness." and this world is
00:18:43.172 --> 00:18:43.739
And this world is a heavy place.
00:18:43.805 --> 00:18:45.774
A heavy place. it'll put you
00:18:45.841 --> 00:18:46.441
It'll put you in some dire straits,
00:18:46.508 --> 00:18:47.809
In some dire straits, some difficult circumstances.
00:18:47.876 --> 00:18:50.245
Some difficult circumstances. it'll weigh you down.
00:18:50.312 --> 00:18:52.314
It'll weigh you down. but when you start giving god
00:18:52.381 --> 00:18:54.016
But when you start giving god thanks for what he has done,
00:18:54.082 --> 00:18:56.285
Thanks for what he has done, suddenly you put on a garment
00:18:56.351 --> 00:18:57.953
Suddenly you put on a garment that causes all of that
00:18:58.020 --> 00:18:58.987
That causes all of that heaviness to flee.
00:18:59.054 --> 00:19:01.423
Heaviness to flee. you don't know
00:19:01.490 --> 00:19:01.990
You don't know what to pray about?
00:19:02.057 --> 00:19:02.624
What to pray about? just start talking to god
00:19:02.691 --> 00:19:03.825
Just start talking to god and being thankful unto him,
00:19:03.892 --> 00:19:06.128
And being thankful unto him, and blessing his name.
00:19:06.195 --> 00:19:07.996
And blessing his name. god, i thank you

Of sin off of my life. i thank you that he's taken

00:21:06.948 --> 00:21:07.949
"oh, i'm so worried about this, i'm so worried about that."
00:21:08.016 --> 00:21:09.885
I'm so worried about that." start thanking god,
00:21:09.951 --> 00:21:11.219
Start thanking god, worry will just
00:21:11.286 --> 00:21:11.953
Worry will just take the exit.
00:21:12.020 --> 00:21:12.921
When you go
00:21:16.692 --> 00:21:17.192
When you go to heavenly places,
00:21:17.259 --> 00:21:18.560
To heavenly places, one, you have
00:21:18.627 --> 00:21:19.394
One, you have to open your mouth.
00:21:19.461 --> 00:21:20.429
To open your mouth. two, you are calling on god
00:21:20.495 --> 00:21:22.497
Two, you are calling on god in jesus' name.
00:21:22.564 --> 00:21:24.433
In jesus' name. three, thank god
00:21:24.499 --> 00:21:26.435
Three, thank god for what he has done.
00:21:26.501 --> 00:21:29.037
For what he has done. and once you've thanked him
00:21:29.104 --> 00:21:30.005
And once you've thanked him for what he has done,
00:21:30.072 --> 00:21:31.640
For what he has done, then you start praising god
00:21:31.707 --> 00:21:33.875
Then you start praising god for what he will do.
00:21:33.942 --> 00:21:36.478
For what he will do. what's the difference?
00:21:36.545 --> 00:21:37.412
What's the difference? thanking god for what he has
00:21:37.479 --> 00:21:38.847
Thanking god for what he has done is giving him adoration
00:21:38.914 --> 00:21:41.516
Done is giving him adoration for the goodness that he's
00:21:41.583 --> 00:21:42.684
For the goodness that he's demonstrated in your past.
00:21:42.751 --> 00:21:44.319
Demonstrated in your past. praising him for what he will do
00:21:44.386 --> 00:21:47.022
Praising him for what he will do is speaking prophetic
00:21:47.089 --> 00:21:48.523
Is speaking prophetic blessings into your future.
00:21:48.590 --> 00:21:50.492
Blessings into your future. you're saying,
00:21:50.559 --> 00:21:51.159
You're saying, "god, because you did it here,
00:21:51.226 --> 00:21:53.328
"god, because you did it here, i believe you'll do it again.
00:21:53.395 --> 00:21:55.197
I believe you'll do it again. because you healed me before,
00:21:55.263 --> 00:21:57.032
Because you healed me before, i give you glory for when you're
00:21:57.099 --> 00:21:58.800
I give you glory for when you're gonna heal me in my future.
00:21:58.867 --> 00:22:00.836
Gonna heal me in my future. you've turned things around
00:22:00.902 --> 00:22:02.270
You've turned things around on my behalf in the past,
00:22:02.337 --> 00:22:04.172
On my behalf in the past, and i know that you're gonna
00:22:04.239 --> 00:22:05.140
And i know that you're gonna make a way where
00:22:05.207 --> 00:22:06.141
Make a way where there seems to be no way
00:22:06.208 --> 00:22:07.609
There seems to be no way in all of my tomorrows.
00:22:07.676 --> 00:22:09.177
In all of my tomorrows. i give you thanks
00:22:09.244 --> 00:22:10.379
I give you thanks and i give you praise
00:22:10.445 --> 00:22:11.446
And i give you praise because you're my shepherd,
00:22:11.513 --> 00:22:13.081
Because you're my shepherd, and because you're my shepherd,
00:22:13.148 --> 00:22:14.950
And because you're my shepherd, i praise you that
00:22:15.016 --> 00:22:15.751
I praise you that i shall not want.
00:22:15.817 --> 00:22:16.918
I shall not want. i'll not want for joy because
00:22:16.985 --> 00:22:18.687
I'll not want for joy because in your presence is the fullness
00:22:18.754 --> 00:22:19.755
In your presence is the fullness of joy.
00:22:19.821 --> 00:22:20.722
Of joy. i shall not want for victory
00:22:20.789 --> 00:22:22.457
I shall not want for victory because the battle
00:22:22.524 --> 00:22:23.258
Because the battle belongs to the lord.
00:22:23.325 --> 00:22:24.526
Belongs to the lord. i shall not want
00:22:24.593 --> 00:22:25.494
I shall not want for peace because you
00:22:25.560 --> 00:22:26.795
For peace because you are the prince of peace.
00:22:26.862 --> 00:22:27.896
Are the prince of peace. i shall not want for anything
00:22:27.963 --> 00:22:30.065
I shall not want for anything because my god shall supply
00:22:30.132 --> 00:22:32.000
Because my god shall supply all of my needs according
00:22:32.067 --> 00:22:33.702
All of my needs according to his riches in glory.
00:22:33.769 --> 00:22:35.036
To his riches in glory. when you start talking to god
00:22:35.103 --> 00:22:36.838
When you start talking to god about what he has done
00:22:36.905 --> 00:22:38.306
About what he has done and what he will do,
00:22:38.373 --> 00:22:39.841
And what he will do, you start pulling down
00:22:39.908 --> 00:22:41.376
You start pulling down every high thing that
00:22:41.443 --> 00:22:43.245
Every high thing that in any way causes you
00:22:43.311 --> 00:22:44.646
In any way causes you to fear that god
00:22:44.713 --> 00:22:45.814
To fear that god would ever fail you.
00:22:45.881 --> 00:22:47.082
Would ever fail you. you begin to crush every doubt.
00:22:47.149 --> 00:22:49.217
You begin to crush every doubt. you begin to destroy every sense
00:22:49.284 --> 00:22:51.620
You begin to destroy every sense of want or worry
00:22:51.686 --> 00:22:52.988
Of want or worry because your god is able
00:22:53.054 --> 00:22:54.756
Because your god is able to do all things.
00:22:54.823 --> 00:22:56.525
To do all things. give him thanks and praise
00:22:56.591 --> 00:22:58.226
Give him thanks and praise in this house today!
00:22:58.293 --> 00:22:59.194
[applause]
00:22:59.594 --> 00:23:07.936
I say this in closing.
00:23:08.403 --> 00:23:09.204
I say this in closing. the last thing that
00:23:09.271 --> 00:23:10.172
The last thing that you do in prayer.
00:23:10.238 --> 00:23:13.375
You do in prayer. first, you say it.
00:23:13.442 --> 00:23:15.076
First, you say it. you have to open
00:23:15.143 --> 00:23:15.844
You have to open your mouth and do it.
00:23:15.911 --> 00:23:18.847
Your mouth and do it. two, you say it to god
00:23:18.914 --> 00:23:22.284
Two, you say it to god the father in jesus' name.
00:23:22.350 --> 00:23:25.387
The father in jesus' name. three, you thank him
00:23:25.454 --> 00:23:27.022
Three, you thank him for what he has done.
00:23:27.088 --> 00:23:28.423
For what he has done. four, you praise him
00:23:28.490 --> 00:23:30.091
Four, you praise him for what he will do.
00:23:30.158 --> 00:23:33.295
For what he will do. and the fifth thing,
00:23:33.361 --> 00:23:35.931
And the fifth thing, when you pray,
00:23:35.997 --> 00:23:36.798
When you pray, you pray with someone
00:23:36.865 --> 00:23:38.200
You pray with someone in agreement.
00:23:38.266 --> 00:23:41.670
In agreement. jesus said,
00:23:41.736 --> 00:23:44.172
Jesus said, "if any two of you gather
00:23:44.239 --> 00:23:45.474
"if any two of you gather on earth in my name,
00:23:45.540 --> 00:23:48.310
On earth in my name, and come into agreement,"
00:23:48.376 --> 00:23:51.913
And come into agreement," say that with me, agreement.
00:23:51.980 --> 00:23:55.350
Say that with me, agreement. it's very important that you
00:23:55.417 --> 00:23:56.384
It's very important that you don't miss that point.
00:23:56.451 --> 00:24:00.522
Don't miss that point. because sometimes, people say,
00:24:00.589 --> 00:24:01.556
Because sometimes, people say, "well, all i gotta do
00:24:01.623 --> 00:24:02.324
"well, all i gotta do is just come together."
00:24:02.390 --> 00:24:03.458
Is just come together." no, no, no, no.
00:24:03.525 --> 00:24:05.026
No, no, no, no. in agreement.
00:24:05.093 --> 00:24:08.063
In agreement. not everybody you get together
00:24:08.129 --> 00:24:09.531
Not everybody you get together with are you in agreement with.
00:24:09.598 --> 00:24:12.667
With are you in agreement with. just have thanksgiving
00:24:12.734 --> 00:24:13.768
Just have thanksgiving at the family's house.
00:24:13.835 --> 00:24:16.104
At the family's house. oh sorry, different sermon.
00:24:16.171 --> 00:24:20.475
Oh sorry, different sermon. but when it comes to prayer,
00:24:20.542 --> 00:24:23.578
But when it comes to prayer, if you want exponential power,
00:24:23.645 --> 00:24:25.747
If you want exponential power, you've got to come together
00:24:25.814 --> 00:24:27.315
You've got to come together and pray with someone in, what?
00:24:27.382 --> 00:24:30.418
And pray with someone in, what? agreement.
00:24:30.485 --> 00:24:32.053
Agreement. why?
00:24:32.120 --> 00:24:33.722
Why? because god said whatever
00:24:33.788 --> 00:24:35.056
Because god said whatever you ask in agreement,
00:24:35.123 --> 00:24:37.225
You ask in agreement, in faith believing,
00:24:37.292 --> 00:24:38.660
In faith believing, doubting nothing,
00:24:38.727 --> 00:24:42.163
Doubting nothing, whatever you ask,
00:24:42.230 --> 00:24:42.931
Whatever you ask, it will be done.
00:24:42.998 --> 00:24:45.967
It will be done. and that's why the agreement
00:24:46.034 --> 00:24:46.935
And that's why the agreement factor is so important.
00:24:47.002 --> 00:24:50.305
Factor is so important. because if you're believing
00:24:50.372 --> 00:24:51.373
Because if you're believing for a healing and you
00:24:51.439 --> 00:24:53.575
For a healing and you go to somebody and say,
00:24:53.642 --> 00:24:54.609
Go to somebody and say, "i want you to pray
00:24:54.676 --> 00:24:55.277
"i want you to pray with me about healing,"
00:24:55.343 --> 00:24:56.177
With me about healing," and they go,
00:24:56.244 --> 00:24:56.645
And they go, "well, you know what
00:24:56.711 --> 00:24:57.279
"well, you know what the doctor said."
00:24:57.345 --> 00:24:59.915
The doctor said." then cut them
00:24:59.981 --> 00:25:00.882
Then cut them from your prayer team
00:25:00.949 --> 00:25:02.117
From your prayer team you're disqualified.
00:25:02.183 --> 00:25:02.984
You're disqualified. you can't be in my prayer life.
00:25:03.051 --> 00:25:04.319
[applause]
00:25:04.786 --> 00:25:10.292
"i want you to pray
00:25:10.458 --> 00:25:11.226
"i want you to pray with me about my son,
00:25:11.293 --> 00:25:12.527
With me about my son, my daughter,
00:25:12.594 --> 00:25:13.194
My daughter, my family member who's lost."
00:25:13.261 --> 00:25:14.796
My family member who's lost." "well, you know where
00:25:14.863 --> 00:25:15.697
"well, you know where they were last friday."
00:25:15.764 --> 00:25:16.865
They were last friday." uh-uh, you're fired.
00:25:16.932 --> 00:25:19.968
Uh-uh, you're fired. out.
00:25:20.035 --> 00:25:23.838
Out. because if you're believing,
00:25:23.905 --> 00:25:25.073
Because if you're believing, and they're doubting,
00:25:25.140 --> 00:25:26.074
And they're doubting, their doubt is canceling
00:25:26.141 --> 00:25:27.175
Their doubt is canceling out your belief.
00:25:27.242 --> 00:25:30.145
Out your belief. but if you come together
00:25:30.211 --> 00:25:30.979
But if you come together in agreement,
00:25:31.046 --> 00:25:31.580
In agreement, the bible says one of us
00:25:31.646 --> 00:25:32.781
The bible says one of us can put a thousand to flight,
00:25:32.847 --> 00:25:34.215
Can put a thousand to flight, two of us can put
00:25:34.282 --> 00:25:35.750
Two of us can put then thousand to flight.
00:25:35.817 --> 00:25:37.919
Then thousand to flight. exponentially, god pours out
00:25:37.986 --> 00:25:39.888
Exponentially, god pours out his power upon your life
00:25:39.955 --> 00:25:42.090
His power upon your life when you come together
00:25:42.157 --> 00:25:43.425
When you come together with the right person
00:25:43.491 --> 00:25:44.492
With the right person in agreement.
00:25:44.559 --> 00:25:45.293
Prayer is the
00:25:45.493 --> 00:25:46.461
Prayer is the most powerful force
00:25:46.528 --> 00:25:47.829
Most powerful force on the face of the earth.
00:25:47.896 --> 00:25:49.497
