Pastor matt hagee: what you
00:00:15.876 --> 00:00:16.410
Pastor matt hagee: what you need to know is that nothing
00:00:16.477 --> 00:00:17.678
Need to know is that nothing really happens in your life
00:00:17.745 --> 00:00:20.314
Really happens in your life until you pray.
00:00:20.381 --> 00:00:22.950
Until you pray. in psalms 18,
00:00:23.017 --> 00:00:24.251
In psalms 18, david is giving god not only
00:00:24.318 --> 00:00:25.820
David is giving god not only praise for giving him
00:00:25.886 --> 00:00:27.588
Praise for giving him victory over his enemies,
00:00:27.655 --> 00:00:29.890
Victory over his enemies, but he's also
00:00:29.957 --> 00:00:30.724
But he's also giving us the memoir of how
00:00:30.791 --> 00:00:32.927
Giving us the memoir of how he was successful in
00:00:32.993 --> 00:00:34.495
He was successful in 18 major wars that he fought.
00:00:34.562 --> 00:00:38.833
18 major wars that he fought. and the thing that i love
00:00:38.899 --> 00:00:39.767
And the thing that i love about david is that
00:00:39.834 --> 00:00:40.768
About david is that he's very honest
00:00:40.835 --> 00:00:41.735
He's very honest and transparent.
00:00:41.802 --> 00:00:42.603
And transparent. he doesn't say,
00:00:42.670 --> 00:00:43.337
He doesn't say, "well, i beat this enemy
00:00:43.404 --> 00:00:45.172
"well, i beat this enemy because i had
00:00:45.239 --> 00:00:45.940
Because i had a superior strategy."
00:00:46.006 --> 00:00:47.074
A superior strategy." or "i won this battle
00:00:47.141 --> 00:00:48.642
Or "i won this battle because i was greater
00:00:48.709 --> 00:00:49.977
Because i was greater in physical ability."
00:00:50.044 --> 00:00:53.180
In physical ability." in the first few verses,
00:00:53.247 --> 00:00:54.448
In the first few verses, he's telling us about how he
00:00:54.515 --> 00:00:57.251
He's telling us about how he found god to be a refuge,
00:00:57.318 --> 00:00:58.986
Found god to be a refuge, and a fortress,
00:00:59.053 --> 00:00:59.820
And a fortress, and a deliverer,
00:00:59.887 --> 00:01:00.855
And a deliverer, and the horn of his salvation,
00:01:00.921 --> 00:01:02.490
And the horn of his salvation, and a stronghold,
00:01:02.556 --> 00:01:03.591
And a stronghold, and all of the difficult things
00:01:03.657 --> 00:01:04.725
And all of the difficult things that he went to,
00:01:04.792 --> 00:01:05.860
That he went to, but until you get to verse 6,
00:01:05.926 --> 00:01:09.897
But until you get to verse 6, nothing really happens.
00:01:09.964 --> 00:01:12.299
Nothing really happens. in verse 4, he says,
00:01:12.366 --> 00:01:13.534
In verse 4, he says, "death surrounded me.
00:01:13.601 --> 00:01:15.736
"death surrounded me. ungodliness made me afraid.
00:01:15.803 --> 00:01:17.872
Ungodliness made me afraid. sorrow snared me.
00:01:17.938 --> 00:01:20.341
Sorrow snared me. death confronted me."
00:01:20.407 --> 00:01:22.476
Death confronted me." this is not a hallmark
00:01:22.543 --> 00:01:23.377
This is not a hallmark greeting card
00:01:23.444 --> 00:01:24.245
Greeting card that he's writing here.
00:01:24.311 --> 00:01:26.780
That he's writing here. but then in verse 6, he says,
00:01:26.847 --> 00:01:28.349
But then in verse 6, he says, "something changed."
00:01:28.415 --> 00:01:29.750
"something changed." what changed?
00:01:29.817 --> 00:01:31.385
What changed? he says, "in my distress,
00:01:31.452 --> 00:01:33.454
He says, "in my distress, i called upon the lord."
00:01:33.521 --> 00:01:38.058
I called upon the lord." nothing really happens
00:01:38.125 --> 00:01:39.793
Nothing really happens until you pray.
00:01:39.860 --> 00:01:42.096
Until you pray. david said,
00:01:42.163 --> 00:01:42.663
David said, "i called upon the lord.
00:01:42.730 --> 00:01:44.298
"i called upon the lord. and what's even better
00:01:44.365 --> 00:01:45.466
And what's even better is he heard my voice."
00:01:45.533 --> 00:01:49.036
Is he heard my voice." aren't you thankful today
00:01:49.103 --> 00:01:49.937
Aren't you thankful today that not only can
00:01:50.004 --> 00:01:50.638
That not only can you call on him,
00:01:50.704 --> 00:01:52.006
You call on him, but when you call on him,
00:01:52.072 --> 00:01:53.874
But when you call on him, he hears your voice?
00:01:53.941 --> 00:01:57.077
He hears your voice? heaven doesn't have
00:01:57.144 --> 00:01:58.145
Heaven doesn't have an automated answering
00:01:58.212 --> 00:01:59.146
An automated answering machine that says,
00:01:59.213 --> 00:02:00.281
Machine that says, "for healing, press one.
00:02:00.347 --> 00:02:01.916
"for healing, press one. and for deliverance, press two.
00:02:01.982 --> 00:02:06.220
And for deliverance, press two. if you're going through
00:02:06.287 --> 00:02:06.787
If you're going through the same old, same old,
00:02:06.854 --> 00:02:07.688
The same old, same old, just wait."
00:02:07.755 --> 00:02:10.357
Just wait." no, david said,
00:02:10.424 --> 00:02:11.392
No, david said, "when i called upon the lord
00:02:11.458 --> 00:02:12.927
"when i called upon the lord in my distress,"
00:02:12.993 --> 00:02:14.595
In my distress," listen to it.
00:02:14.662 --> 00:02:15.462
Listen to it. it says, "he heard my voice,
00:02:15.529 --> 00:02:18.165
It says, "he heard my voice, and my cry came before him,
00:02:18.232 --> 00:02:20.601
And my cry came before him, even to his ears."
00:02:20.668 --> 00:02:22.570
Even to his ears." david was saying that god
00:02:22.636 --> 00:02:23.938
David was saying that god is sitting in heaven cupping
00:02:24.004 --> 00:02:25.573
Is sitting in heaven cupping his hands behind
00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:26.707
His hands behind his ears saying,
00:02:26.774 --> 00:02:27.908
His ears saying, "talk to me.
00:02:27.975 --> 00:02:28.742
"talk to me. tell me what it is
00:02:28.809 --> 00:02:29.710
Tell me what it is that you need.
00:02:29.777 --> 00:02:30.611
That you need. call upon me so i can show
00:02:30.678 --> 00:02:32.446
Call upon me so i can show you great and mighty things
00:02:32.513 --> 00:02:34.215
You great and mighty things that you know not."
00:02:34.281 --> 00:02:35.249
That you know not." in the next several verses
00:02:35.316 --> 00:02:37.084
In the next several verses right after david says,
00:02:37.151 --> 00:02:38.152
Right after david says, "i called upon the lord."
00:02:38.219 --> 00:02:39.820
"i called upon the lord." from verse 7
00:02:39.887 --> 00:02:40.588
From verse 7 all the way to 19,
00:02:40.654 --> 00:02:42.356
All the way to 19, look at the list of things
00:02:42.423 --> 00:02:43.691
Look at the list of things that david said god
00:02:43.757 --> 00:02:44.992
That david said god did to his enemies.
00:02:45.059 --> 00:02:46.293
Did to his enemies. david called upon
00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:47.461
David called upon god in his distress.
00:02:47.528 --> 00:02:49.163
God in his distress. he says,
00:02:49.230 --> 00:02:49.763
He says, "i'm down here facing a giant."
00:02:49.830 --> 00:02:51.632
"i'm down here facing a giant." god says,
00:02:51.699 --> 00:02:52.299
God says, "i've got an answer
00:02:52.366 --> 00:02:53.033
"i've got an answer for the giant."
00:02:53.100 --> 00:02:53.567
For the giant." "i'm down here facing an army."
00:02:53.634 --> 00:02:55.436
"i'm down here facing an army." god says,
00:02:55.502 --> 00:02:56.136
God says, "i've got an answer
00:02:56.203 --> 00:02:56.604
"i've got an answer for the army."
00:02:56.670 --> 00:02:57.404
For the army." "i'm down here facing
00:02:57.471 --> 00:02:58.439
"i'm down here facing an insurrection."
00:02:58.505 --> 00:02:59.373
An insurrection." god says,
00:02:59.440 --> 00:02:59.940
God says, "i've got an answer
00:03:00.007 --> 00:03:00.541
"i've got an answer for the insurrection."
00:03:00.608 --> 00:03:01.942
For the insurrection." and for the next several verses,
00:03:02.009 --> 00:03:03.143
And for the next several verses, he says,
00:03:03.210 --> 00:03:03.811
He says, "the earth shook,
00:03:03.877 --> 00:03:05.312
"the earth shook, the hills quaked.
00:03:05.379 --> 00:03:06.680
The hills quaked. god got so angry that
00:03:06.747 --> 00:03:08.515
God got so angry that smoke came out of his nostrils
00:03:08.582 --> 00:03:10.484
Smoke came out of his nostrils and fire came out
00:03:10.551 --> 00:03:11.552
And fire came out of his mouth."
00:03:11.619 --> 00:03:12.486
Of his mouth." you may have known some people
00:03:12.553 --> 00:03:13.854
You may have known some people that you thought
00:03:13.921 --> 00:03:14.555
That you thought they could get mad,
00:03:14.622 --> 00:03:15.589
They could get mad, but you don't know anybody
00:03:15.656 --> 00:03:16.590
But you don't know anybody can get that mad.
00:03:16.657 --> 00:03:19.426
Can get that mad. what is prayer?
00:03:19.493 --> 00:03:21.595
What is prayer? people use the word
00:03:21.662 --> 00:03:22.496
People use the word all the time,
00:03:22.563 --> 00:03:22.930
All the time, but very few really
00:03:22.997 --> 00:03:23.697
But very few really understand its definition.
00:03:23.764 --> 00:03:25.899
Understand its definition. and in order to get
00:03:25.966 --> 00:03:26.800
And in order to get a definition,
00:03:26.867 --> 00:03:27.701
A definition, you have to use
00:03:27.768 --> 00:03:28.702
You have to use the source of truth,
00:03:28.769 --> 00:03:29.536
The source of truth, which is the word of god.
00:03:29.603 --> 00:03:32.439
Which is the word of god. prayer is not something you
00:03:32.506 --> 00:03:33.407
Prayer is not something you do on the sideline
00:03:33.474 --> 00:03:34.675
Do on the sideline at a football game.
00:03:34.742 --> 00:03:37.044
At a football game. "oh lord, please let us win."
00:03:37.111 --> 00:03:42.049
"oh lord, please let us win." if you're a cowboys fan,
00:03:42.116 --> 00:03:43.083
If you're a cowboys fan, you need to fast and pray.
00:03:43.150 --> 00:03:44.718
[laughter]
00:03:45.152 --> 00:03:49.590
I mean,
00:03:49.890 --> 00:03:50.291
I mean, these kind come out
00:03:50.357 --> 00:03:51.458
These kind come out but by fasting and prayer.
00:03:51.525 --> 00:03:57.698
But by fasting and prayer. but when you look at the bible,
00:03:57.765 --> 00:03:58.866
But when you look at the bible, you come to understand that
00:03:58.932 --> 00:04:00.634
You come to understand that prayer has a very
00:04:00.701 --> 00:04:01.735
Prayer has a very real definition,
00:04:01.802 --> 00:04:02.569
Real definition, and the first thing
00:04:02.636 --> 00:04:03.203
And the first thing that you see is that prayer
00:04:03.270 --> 00:04:04.938
That you see is that prayer is not a monologue,
00:04:05.005 --> 00:04:06.607
Is not a monologue, prayer is a dialogue.
00:04:06.674 --> 00:04:09.943
Prayer is a dialogue. what does that mean?
00:04:10.010 --> 00:04:10.577
What does that mean? that means that prayer
00:04:10.644 --> 00:04:11.845
That means that prayer is not you talking to god
00:04:11.912 --> 00:04:13.580
Is not you talking to god and god listening,
00:04:13.647 --> 00:04:15.749
And god listening, prayer is a heavenly
00:04:15.816 --> 00:04:17.151
Prayer is a heavenly conversation that you get
00:04:17.217 --> 00:04:18.719
Conversation that you get in with the creator
00:04:18.786 --> 00:04:19.920
In with the creator of heaven and earth.
00:04:19.987 --> 00:04:20.721
Of heaven and earth. and not only do you
00:04:20.788 --> 00:04:21.622
And not only do you speak to him,
00:04:21.689 --> 00:04:22.856
Speak to him, but he speaks to you.
00:04:22.923 --> 00:04:26.694
But he speaks to you. but like all dialogue,
00:04:26.760 --> 00:04:28.228
But like all dialogue, you have to learn how
00:04:28.295 --> 00:04:29.330
You have to learn how to communicate effectively
00:04:29.396 --> 00:04:31.231
To communicate effectively with the person that
00:04:31.298 --> 00:04:32.032
With the person that you're in conversation with.
00:04:32.099 --> 00:04:34.802
You're in conversation with. the more you know someone,
00:04:34.868 --> 00:04:36.303
The more you know someone, the more efficient you are
00:04:36.370 --> 00:04:38.572
The more efficient you are at understanding
00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:39.440
At understanding what they're saying.
00:04:39.506 --> 00:04:40.307
What they're saying. you learn the sound
00:04:40.374 --> 00:04:41.342
You learn the sound of their voice.
00:04:41.408 --> 00:04:42.042
Of their voice. you learn what they say
00:04:42.109 --> 00:04:43.844
You learn what they say and how they say it.
00:04:43.911 --> 00:04:47.214
And how they say it. you have to get to know somebody
00:04:47.281 --> 00:04:49.016
You have to get to know somebody before you can
00:04:49.083 --> 00:04:49.783
Before you can communicate effectively.
00:04:49.850 --> 00:04:51.952
Communicate effectively. and sometimes,
00:04:52.019 --> 00:04:52.586
And sometimes, people get frustrated because
00:04:52.653 --> 00:04:53.954
People get frustrated because they don't feel like
00:04:54.021 --> 00:04:54.521
They don't feel like they're effective in prayer.
00:04:54.588 --> 00:04:55.889
They're effective in prayer. and the reason they're not
00:04:55.956 --> 00:04:56.690
And the reason they're not effective in prayer is because
00:04:56.757 --> 00:04:57.891
Effective in prayer is because you haven't learned
00:04:57.958 --> 00:04:58.692
You haven't learned what god sounds like.
00:04:58.759 --> 00:05:01.729
What god sounds like. people say,
00:05:01.795 --> 00:05:02.262
People say, "oh no, i would know
00:05:02.329 --> 00:05:03.197
"oh no, i would know exactly what god would say
00:05:03.263 --> 00:05:04.832
Exactly what god would say if he said it to me."
00:05:04.898 --> 00:05:05.699
If he said it to me." no, you wouldn't.
00:05:05.766 --> 00:05:06.333
No, you wouldn't. read the bible.
00:05:06.400 --> 00:05:07.000
Read the bible. samuel heard god's voice three
00:05:07.067 --> 00:05:09.269
Samuel heard god's voice three times in one night before
00:05:09.336 --> 00:05:11.238
Times in one night before he figured out who it was.
00:05:11.305 --> 00:05:13.741
He figured out who it was. you've got to get

Stop until heaven moves. i'm not gonna stop

I'm not gonna stop until hearts break.

Until hearts break. i'm not gonna stop until
00:08:19.660 --> 00:08:21.128

That needs jesus? he knows about the need today.
00:08:32.973 --> 00:08:35.075
He knows about the need today. don't stop praying until
00:08:35.142 --> 00:08:36.610
Don't stop praying until he breaks through.
00:08:36.677 --> 00:08:37.711
He breaks through. understand that when you
00:08:37.778 --> 00:08:39.146
Understand that when you go into heavenly places
00:08:39.212 --> 00:08:40.814
Go into heavenly places and you pray in jesus' name,
00:08:40.881 --> 00:08:42.783
And you pray in jesus' name, you have the power to pull
00:08:42.849 --> 00:08:44.117
You have the power to pull down every stronghold
00:08:44.184 --> 00:08:45.819

So, when you go to heavenly places,
00:08:51.658 --> 00:08:52.726

00:08:52.793 --> 00:08:54.027

00:08:54.094 --> 00:08:55.696
[applause]
00:08:56.129 --> 00:09:01.435
Prayer is something
00:09:02.869 --> 00:09:03.770
Prayer is something you have to learn to do.
00:09:03.837 --> 00:09:06.239
You have to learn to do. that's why the disciples said,
00:09:06.306 --> 00:09:07.441
That's why the disciples said, "lord, teach us to pray."
00:09:07.507 --> 00:09:10.577
"lord, teach us to pray." not that they
00:09:10.644 --> 00:09:11.278
Not that they didn't try praying,
00:09:11.345 --> 00:09:12.379
Didn't try praying, but they recognized
00:09:12.446 --> 00:09:13.347
But they recognized that when jesus prayed,
00:09:13.413 --> 00:09:14.681
That when jesus prayed, something different happened.
00:09:14.748 --> 00:09:17.184
Something different happened. when jesus prayed,
00:09:17.250 --> 00:09:18.185
When jesus prayed, five loaves
00:09:18.251 --> 00:09:18.885
Five loaves and two fish fed 5,000.
00:09:18.952 --> 00:09:21.555
And two fish fed 5,000. when jesus prayed,
00:09:21.622 --> 00:09:22.522
When jesus prayed, lazarus who was dead
00:09:22.589 --> 00:09:23.790
Lazarus who was dead got out of his grave.
00:09:23.857 --> 00:09:24.858
Got out of his grave. when jesus prayed,
00:09:24.925 --> 00:09:26.293
When jesus prayed, the lame could leap,
00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:27.260
The lame could leap, demon possessed were
00:09:27.327 --> 00:09:28.128
Demon possessed were set free, storms stopped.
00:09:28.195 --> 00:09:32.332
Set free, storms stopped. and they said,
00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:32.966
And they said, "we wanna pray like you pray,
00:09:33.033 --> 00:09:35.168
"we wanna pray like you pray, so teach us how to do that."
00:09:35.235 --> 00:09:38.372
So teach us how to do that." here's a question,
00:09:38.438 --> 00:09:40.007
Here's a question, if jesus christ,
00:09:40.073 --> 00:09:41.608
If jesus christ, the word made flesh,
00:09:41.675 --> 00:09:42.976
The word made flesh, needed to pray, do you?
00:09:43.043 --> 00:09:47.047
Needed to pray, do you? if he prioritized prayer,
00:09:47.114 --> 00:09:49.116
If he prioritized prayer, shouldn't you?
00:09:49.182 --> 00:09:52.419
Shouldn't you? the disciples wanted to know,
00:09:52.486 --> 00:09:53.654
The disciples wanted to know, "how do you do what you do?
00:09:53.720 --> 00:09:55.622
"how do you do what you do? teach us to do it."
00:09:55.689 --> 00:09:57.758
Teach us to do it." and jesus taught them.
00:09:57.824 --> 00:10:00.594
And jesus taught them. and then he gave
00:10:00.661 --> 00:10:01.328
And then he gave them this promise.
00:10:01.395 --> 00:10:03.630
Them this promise. "greater things than
00:10:03.697 --> 00:10:04.531
"greater things than these shall you do."
00:10:04.598 --> 00:10:07.300
These shall you do." how could jesus make such
00:10:07.367 --> 00:10:08.702
How could jesus make such a promise when he's immortal
00:10:08.769 --> 00:10:10.437
A promise when he's immortal and man is mortal?
00:10:10.504 --> 00:10:11.571
And man is mortal? how could the god
00:10:11.638 --> 00:10:13.040
How could the god who is the truth, the way,
00:10:13.106 --> 00:10:14.408
Who is the truth, the way, and the life say something
00:10:14.474 --> 00:10:16.009
And the life say something to individuals that
00:10:16.076 --> 00:10:17.310
To individuals that are just flesh and blood.
00:10:17.377 --> 00:10:19.613
Are just flesh and blood. because he taught them to pray.
00:10:19.680 --> 00:10:23.550
Because he taught them to pray. when you pray like jesus prayed,
00:10:23.617 --> 00:10:25.218
When you pray like jesus prayed, you can do what jesus did.
00:10:25.285 --> 00:10:28.822
You can do what jesus did. too often, people get
00:10:28.889 --> 00:10:29.723
Too often, people get discouraged by prayer,
00:10:29.790 --> 00:10:33.493
Discouraged by prayer, and that's just exactly
00:10:33.560 --> 00:10:34.628
And that's just exactly what the devil wants you to do.
00:10:34.695 --> 00:10:35.896
What the devil wants you to do. be discouraged about praying.
00:10:35.962 --> 00:10:38.565
Be discouraged about praying. why?
00:10:38.632 --> 00:10:39.066
Why? because when you pray,
00:10:39.132 --> 00:10:39.966
Because when you pray, you defeat him.
00:10:40.033 --> 00:10:43.537
You defeat him. people say,
00:10:43.603 --> 00:10:44.104
People say, "well, i don't know
00:10:44.171 --> 00:10:44.604
"well, i don't know how to pray.
00:10:44.671 --> 00:10:45.038
How to pray. i don't know what words to say.
00:10:45.105 --> 00:10:46.273
I don't know what words to say. i don't know the right phrases.
00:10:46.339 --> 00:10:48.809
I don't know the right phrases. and it's probably because
00:10:48.875 --> 00:10:49.643
And it's probably because you've been around people
00:10:49.710 --> 00:10:50.544
You've been around people who speak what
00:10:50.610 --> 00:10:51.344
Who speak what i call "christianese."
00:10:51.411 --> 00:10:54.414
I call "christianese." and they memorize the right,
00:10:54.481 --> 00:10:56.016
And they memorize the right, "father gods"
00:10:56.083 --> 00:10:56.850
"father gods" and "our fathers" and,
00:10:56.917 --> 00:10:59.252
And "our fathers" and, "ye, verily, thus, and so's."
00:10:59.319 --> 00:11:02.989
"ye, verily, thus, and so's." i mean, it's amazing to me
00:11:03.056 --> 00:11:04.124
I mean, it's amazing to me that people who speak
00:11:04.191 --> 00:11:05.158
That people who speak poor english can
00:11:05.225 --> 00:11:06.159
Poor english can get elizabethan when they pray.
00:11:06.226 --> 00:11:07.961
[laughter]
00:11:08.729 --> 00:11:11.231
And yet,
00:11:12.265 --> 00:11:12.599
And yet, when you read the bible,
00:11:12.666 --> 00:11:13.600
When you read the bible, jesus said in matthew,
00:11:13.667 --> 00:11:16.403
Jesus said in matthew, "when you pray,
00:11:16.470 --> 00:11:17.137
"when you pray, do not use vain repetitions
00:11:17.204 --> 00:11:18.839
Do not use vain repetitions like the heathens do,
00:11:18.905 --> 00:11:21.141
Like the heathens do, for the father already
00:11:21.208 --> 00:11:22.142
For the father already knows what you need."
00:11:22.209 --> 00:11:26.379
Knows what you need." jesus gave you permission,
00:11:26.446 --> 00:11:27.514
Jesus gave you permission, even if you use
00:11:27.581 --> 00:11:28.415
Even if you use the simplest language,
00:11:28.482 --> 00:11:29.983
The simplest language, just say it plain and in faith
00:11:30.050 --> 00:11:32.452
Just say it plain and in faith because god already
00:11:32.519 --> 00:11:33.453
Because god already knows what you need.
00:11:33.520 --> 00:11:36.790
Knows what you need. there's so much in the bible
00:11:36.857 --> 00:11:38.024
There's so much in the bible that you could teach on prayer
00:11:38.091 --> 00:11:39.126
That you could teach on prayer for months on end.
00:11:39.192 --> 00:11:41.161
For months on end. but very quickly in the rest
00:11:41.228 --> 00:11:42.195
But very quickly in the rest of this sermon,
00:11:42.262 --> 00:11:42.929
Of this sermon, i wanna share with you
00:11:42.996 --> 00:11:43.764
I wanna share with you five things that you need
00:11:43.830 --> 00:11:44.865
Five things that you need to do when it comes to prayer.
00:11:44.931 --> 00:11:47.467
To do when it comes to prayer. the first thing that you
00:11:47.534 --> 00:11:48.301
The first thing that you need to know about prayer
00:11:48.368 --> 00:11:49.603
Need to know about prayer is that as
00:11:49.669 --> 00:11:50.303
Is that as powerful as god is,
00:11:50.370 --> 00:11:51.772
Powerful as god is, he cannot answer prayer
00:11:51.838 --> 00:11:53.273
He cannot answer prayer until you pray it.
00:11:53.340 --> 00:11:56.576
Until you pray it. what do i mean?
00:11:56.643 --> 00:11:57.477
What do i mean? i mean you actually have
00:11:57.544 --> 00:11:58.779
I mean you actually have to open up your mouth
00:11:58.845 --> 00:12:00.447
To open up your mouth and make the request.
00:12:00.514 --> 00:12:03.984
And make the request. people say, "well, what about
00:12:04.050 --> 00:12:04.785
People say, "well, what about silent prayer?"
00:12:04.851 --> 00:12:05.886
Silent prayer?" there is no silent prayer.
00:12:05.952 --> 00:12:07.320
There is no silent prayer. those aren't prayers,
00:12:07.387 --> 00:12:08.054
Those aren't prayers, those are thoughts.
00:12:08.121 --> 00:12:10.791
Those are thoughts. "well, i have an
00:12:10.857 --> 00:12:11.525
"well, i have an unspoken request."
00:12:11.591 --> 00:12:12.893
Unspoken request." find that in the bible.
00:12:12.959 --> 00:12:16.029
Find that in the bible. even jesus,
00:12:16.096 --> 00:12:16.897
Even jesus, when he saw people
00:12:16.963 --> 00:12:17.831
When he saw people who were lame,
00:12:17.898 --> 00:12:18.632
Who were lame, what did he say?
00:12:18.698 --> 00:12:20.767
What did he say? "do you wanna be made well?"
00:12:20.834 --> 00:12:23.036
"do you wanna be made well?" and they didn't go.
00:12:23.103 --> 00:12:24.638
Unspoken.
00:12:29.910 --> 00:12:33.647
Unspoken. they had to look at him
00:12:33.713 --> 00:12:34.347
They had to look at him and say, "yes."
00:12:34.414 --> 00:12:37.150
And say, "yes." you have to open your mouth
00:12:37.217 --> 00:12:38.385
You have to open your mouth when you pray.
00:12:38.451 --> 00:12:39.119
When you pray. why?
00:12:39.186 --> 00:12:39.653
Why? because there is something
00:12:39.719 --> 00:12:40.520
Because there is something powerful about
00:12:40.587 --> 00:12:42.489
Powerful about the declaration of your mouth.
00:12:42.556 --> 00:12:45.392
The declaration of your mouth. the bible teaches us
00:12:45.458 --> 00:12:46.226
The bible teaches us that the power of life
00:12:46.293 --> 00:12:47.260
That the power of life and death is in the tongue.
00:12:47.327 --> 00:12:49.329
And death is in the tongue. and when you open your mouth
00:12:49.396 --> 00:12:50.697
And when you open your mouth and you begin praying,
00:12:50.764 --> 00:12:51.832
And you begin praying, you begin unleashing the power
00:12:51.898 --> 00:12:53.800
You begin unleashing the power of god's presence
00:12:53.867 --> 00:12:54.868
Of god's presence and his purpose in your life.
00:12:54.935 --> 00:12:56.903
And his purpose in your life. the bible says,
00:12:56.970 --> 00:12:57.671
The bible says, "you have not because
00:12:57.737 --> 00:12:59.539
"you have not because you ask not."
00:12:59.606 --> 00:13:01.274
You ask not." not because you
00:13:01.341 --> 00:13:01.875
Not because you didn't think right.
00:13:01.942 --> 00:13:03.944
Didn't think right. it says,
00:13:04.010 --> 00:13:04.477
It says, you can think all you want to,
00:13:04.544 --> 00:13:06.046
You can think all you want to, but nothing happens
00:13:06.112 --> 00:13:07.147
But nothing happens until you ask.
00:13:07.214 --> 00:13:09.416
Until you ask. jesus said,
00:13:09.482 --> 00:13:10.050
Jesus said, "ask and you shall receive."
00:13:10.116 --> 00:13:13.253
"ask and you shall receive." which means you have
00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:13.887
Which means you have to open your mouth and ask.
00:13:13.954 --> 00:13:17.624
To open your mouth and ask. do you know why god gave
00:13:17.691 --> 00:13:18.692
Do you know why god gave you the ability to talk?
00:13:18.758 --> 00:13:21.394
You the ability to talk? not so you could argue
00:13:21.461 --> 00:13:22.229
Not so you could argue with your wife in traffic.
00:13:22.295 --> 00:13:25.332
With your wife in traffic. god gave you the ability
00:13:25.398 --> 00:13:26.533
God gave you the ability to talk so that you
00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:27.601
To talk so that you could communicate with him.
00:13:27.667 --> 00:13:30.537
Could communicate with him. and when you communicate
00:13:30.604 --> 00:13:31.938
And when you communicate with him,
00:13:32.005 --> 00:13:32.539
With him, you gain the opportunity
00:13:32.606 --> 00:13:34.341
You gain the opportunity to see the impossible
00:13:34.407 --> 00:13:35.542
To see the impossible done in your life.
00:13:35.609 --> 00:13:36.977
Done in your life. mark 11.
00:13:37.043 --> 00:13:38.612
Mark 11. it says,
00:13:38.678 --> 00:13:39.112
It says, "have faith in god for whosoever
00:13:39.179 --> 00:13:42.249
"have faith in god for whosoever shall not doubt in his
00:13:42.315 --> 00:13:43.450
Shall not doubt in his heart but believe,
00:13:43.516 --> 00:13:44.885
Heart but believe, he shall see all
00:13:44.951 --> 00:13:46.453
He shall see all things come to pass.
00:13:46.519 --> 00:13:47.988
Things come to pass. and whatever he says,"
00:13:48.054 --> 00:13:51.358
And whatever he says," verse 23,
00:13:51.424 --> 00:13:52.392
Verse 23, "whatever he says,"
00:13:52.459 --> 00:13:56.029
"whatever he says," say that with me.
00:13:56.096 --> 00:13:57.063
Say that with me. "whatever he says,
00:13:57.130 --> 00:14:00.967
"whatever he says, god will do it."
00:14:01.034 --> 00:14:03.436
God will do it." but you have to say it.
00:14:03.503 --> 00:14:05.171
But you have to say it. god loves to hear from you.
00:14:05.238 --> 00:14:07.140
God loves to hear from you. god wants to hear from you.
00:14:07.207 --> 00:14:09.109
God wants to hear from you. god wants him to be the first
00:14:09.175 --> 00:14:10.877
God wants him to be the first person that you speak to.
00:14:10.944 --> 00:14:13.680
Person that you speak to. in psalm 63, we read,
00:14:13.747 --> 00:14:15.248
In psalm 63, we read, "oh god,
00:14:15.315 --> 00:14:15.882
"oh god, you are my god
00:14:15.949 --> 00:14:16.883
You are my god and early will i seek you."
00:14:16.950 --> 00:14:19.920
And early will i seek you." now, i need to clean
00:14:19.986 --> 00:14:20.654
Now, i need to clean this verse up for you
00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:21.588
This verse up for you so you get it in its original
00:14:21.655 --> 00:14:22.689
So you get it in its original context and not in the modern
00:14:22.756 --> 00:14:24.491
Context and not in the modern twist because some
00:14:24.557 --> 00:14:26.459
Twist because some people take this verse,
00:14:26.526 --> 00:14:27.627
People take this verse, and they say david was
00:14:27.694 --> 00:14:28.795
And they say david was so passionate about the lord,
00:14:28.862 --> 00:14:30.163
So passionate about the lord, he got up early
00:14:30.230 --> 00:14:31.498
He got up early and he sought him.
00:14:31.564 --> 00:14:32.732
And he sought him. and that's not what it says.
00:14:32.799 --> 00:14:34.935
And that's not what it says. first, let's deal with,
00:14:35.001 --> 00:14:35.802
First, let's deal with, "god, you are my god."
00:14:35.869 --> 00:14:37.370
"god, you are my god." was david repeating himself?
00:14:37.437 --> 00:14:38.705
Was david repeating himself? no.
00:14:38.772 --> 00:14:40.073
No. the english language is pretty
00:14:40.140 --> 00:14:41.775
The english language is pretty pathetic when it comes
00:14:41.841 --> 00:14:43.009
Pathetic when it comes to interpretation.
00:14:43.076 --> 00:14:44.678
To interpretation. for example, in hebrew,
00:14:44.744 --> 00:14:45.845
For example, in hebrew, there are many names
00:14:45.912 --> 00:14:46.913
There are many names for god based on
00:14:46.980 --> 00:14:47.881
For god based on god's character.
00:14:47.948 --> 00:14:49.950
God's character. so, when david says,
00:14:50.016 --> 00:14:50.817
So, when david says, "god, you are my god,"
00:14:50.884 --> 00:14:52.218
"god, you are my god," what he's actually
00:14:52.285 --> 00:14:52.986
What he's actually saying in hebrew is,
00:14:53.053 --> 00:14:54.554
Saying in hebrew is, "elohim, you are my
00:14:54.621 --> 00:14:56.189
"elohim, you are my el shaddai."
00:14:56.256 --> 00:14:57.958
El shaddai." he called him
00:14:58.024 --> 00:14:58.625
He called him two different names.
00:14:58.692 --> 00:15:01.194
Two different names. you say,
00:15:01.261 --> 00:15:01.628
You say, "well, that's, kinda, silly."
00:15:01.695 --> 00:15:02.362
"well, that's, kinda, silly." no, it's not.
00:15:02.429 --> 00:15:03.897
No, it's not. you ever looked at your wife
00:15:03.964 --> 00:15:04.597
You ever looked at your wife and said,
00:15:04.664 --> 00:15:05.465
And said, "honey, baby, darling, love?"
00:15:05.532 --> 00:15:08.134
[laughter]
00:15:08.768 --> 00:15:14.841
You've got several names
00:15:16.042 --> 00:15:16.977
You've got several names for people that you're
00:15:17.043 --> 00:15:17.677
For people that you're affectionate with.
00:15:17.744 --> 00:15:19.846
Affectionate with. and what david was saying
00:15:19.913 --> 00:15:20.780
And what david was saying to god, elohim means,
00:15:20.847 --> 00:15:23.149
To god, elohim means, "the god who can do anything."
00:15:23.216 --> 00:15:26.152
"the god who can do anything." and el shaddai means,
00:15:26.219 --> 00:15:27.554
And el shaddai means, "the all sufficient one."
00:15:27.620 --> 00:15:29.756
"the all sufficient one." he was letting everybody know
00:15:29.823 --> 00:15:31.591
He was letting everybody know that the god who can do anything
00:15:31.658 --> 00:15:33.860
That the god who can do anything was his all sufficient one.
00:15:33.927 --> 00:15:36.796
Was his all sufficient one. and then when he said,
00:15:36.863 --> 00:15:37.831
And then when he said, "early will i seek you,"
00:15:37.897 --> 00:15:39.632
"early will i seek you," he's not talking about
00:15:39.699 --> 00:15:40.867
He's not talking about the time of day,
00:15:40.934 --> 00:15:41.701
The time of day, he's talking about priority.
00:15:41.768 --> 00:15:43.503
He's talking about priority. before i talk to anybody else,
00:15:43.570 --> 00:15:45.805
Before i talk to anybody else, i'm gonna talk to you.
00:15:45.872 --> 00:15:48.675
I'm gonna talk to you. so, what does this mean?
00:15:48.742 --> 00:15:49.743
So, what does this mean? this means when somebody comes
00:15:49.809 --> 00:15:50.910
This means when somebody comes up to you and pompously says,
00:15:50.977 --> 00:15:52.412
Up to you and pompously says, "i rise before the sun
00:15:52.479 --> 00:15:54.147
"i rise before the sun to speak with the lord."
00:15:54.214 --> 00:15:56.116
To speak with the lord." good for you.
00:15:56.182 --> 00:15:57.283
[laughter]
00:15:57.684 --> 00:15:58.351
Sleep in.
00:15:59.019 --> 00:15:59.719
Sleep in. you might enjoy it better.
00:15:59.786 --> 00:16:02.822
You might enjoy it better. this is not about
00:16:02.889 --> 00:16:03.590
This is not about the hour of day.
00:16:03.656 --> 00:16:04.524
The hour of day. god is not a space and time god.
00:16:04.591 --> 00:16:07.827
God is not a space and time god. this is about priority.
00:16:07.894 --> 00:16:09.195
This is about priority. what david is saying is
00:16:09.262 --> 00:16:10.463
What david is saying is when you prioritize god
00:16:10.530 --> 00:16:12.465
When you prioritize god as the first place
00:16:12.532 --> 00:16:13.633
As the first place that you'll call upon,
00:16:13.700 --> 00:16:14.968
That you'll call upon, when you go to him before
00:16:15.035 --> 00:16:16.703
When you go to him before go to anybody else,
00:16:16.770 --> 00:16:17.971
Go to anybody else, when you speak to the god
00:16:18.038 --> 00:16:19.739
When you speak to the god who can do anything
00:16:19.806 --> 00:16:21.107
Who can do anything and he's the all sufficient one,
00:16:21.174 --> 00:16:22.842
And he's the all sufficient one, you're going to find answers
00:16:22.909 --> 00:16:24.277
You're going to find answers for problems,
00:16:24.344 --> 00:16:25.145
For problems, and you're going to find
00:16:25.211 --> 00:16:26.112
And you're going to find solutions in days
00:16:26.179 --> 00:16:27.280
Solutions in days of trouble,
00:16:27.347 --> 00:16:28.048
Of trouble, and you're gonna find
00:16:28.114 --> 00:16:28.848
And you're gonna find victories in hours
00:16:28.915 --> 00:16:30.216
Victories in hours where you're under distress
00:16:30.283 --> 00:16:31.684
Where you're under distress because that's the kind
00:16:31.751 --> 00:16:32.685
Because that's the kind of god that you serve.
00:16:32.752 --> 00:16:34.020
[applause]
00:16:35.155 --> 00:16:40.693
The second thing you
00:16:41.161 --> 00:16:41.661
The second thing you need to know about prayer is
00:16:41.728 --> 00:16:43.530
Need to know about prayer is that when you start praying,
00:16:43.596 --> 00:16:45.165
That when you start praying, don't talk about you,
00:16:45.231 --> 00:16:46.766
Don't talk about you, talk about him.
00:16:46.833 --> 00:16:49.769
Talk about him. how did jesus teach
00:16:49.836 --> 00:16:50.670
How did jesus teach the disciples to pray?
00:16:50.737 --> 00:16:51.905
The disciples to pray? "our father."
00:16:51.971 --> 00:16:56.743
"our father." often, i hear people
00:16:56.810 --> 00:16:57.577
Often, i hear people say things like,
00:16:57.644 --> 00:16:58.311
Say things like, "well, i just can't pray
00:16:58.378 --> 00:16:59.045
"well, i just can't pray for a few minutes.
00:16:59.112 --> 00:16:59.846
For a few minutes. it's two or three minutes
00:16:59.913 --> 00:17:01.081
It's two or three minutes of prayer and then i'm out
00:17:01.147 --> 00:17:02.082
Of prayer and then i'm out of things to talk about."
00:17:02.148 --> 00:17:02.916
Of things to talk about." it's because you're talking
00:17:02.982 --> 00:17:03.683
It's because you're talking about the wrong thing.
00:17:03.750 --> 00:17:06.219
About the wrong thing. you're a limited topic, sorry.
00:17:06.286 --> 00:17:09.456
You're a limited topic, sorry. but god is
00:17:09.522 --> 00:17:10.023
But god is an endless conversation.
00:17:10.090 --> 00:17:12.559
An endless conversation. and when you start talking
00:17:12.625 --> 00:17:13.893
And when you start talking in heavenly places,
00:17:13.960 --> 00:17:14.961
In heavenly places, you need to know that
00:17:15.028 --> 00:17:15.829
You need to know that not only are you speaking
00:17:15.895 --> 00:17:16.796
Not only are you speaking to the throne room of grace,
00:17:16.863 --> 00:17:18.131
To the throne room of grace, but you are also in an
00:17:18.198 --> 00:17:19.232
But you are also in an atmosphere where there
00:17:19.299 --> 00:17:20.366
Atmosphere where there are powers and principalities,
00:17:20.433 --> 00:17:22.102
Are powers and principalities, and other spiritual forces.
00:17:22.168 --> 00:17:23.903
And other spiritual forces. and so, when you go into
00:17:23.970 --> 00:17:25.138
And so, when you go into heavenly places and you start
00:17:25.205 --> 00:17:26.439
Heavenly places and you start talking about, "our father,"
00:17:26.506 --> 00:17:28.775
Talking about, "our father," and you're talking about
00:17:28.842 --> 00:17:29.976
And you're talking about the alpha and the omega,
00:17:30.043 --> 00:17:31.945
The alpha and the omega, you're letting every power
00:17:32.011 --> 00:17:33.146
You're letting every power and principality know
00:17:33.213 --> 00:17:34.314
And principality know that you're not
00:17:34.380 --> 00:17:35.081
That you're not just knocking on any door,
00:17:35.148 --> 00:17:36.616
Just knocking on any door, you're going directly
00:17:36.683 --> 00:17:37.484
You're going directly to the king above kings
00:17:37.550 --> 00:17:38.918
To the king above kings and the lord above lords.
00:17:38.985 --> 00:17:40.286
And the lord above lords. you say,
00:17:40.353 --> 00:17:40.787
You say, "god, i'm coming into
00:17:40.854 --> 00:17:42.222
"god, i'm coming into heavenly places today because
00:17:42.288 --> 00:17:43.790
Heavenly places today because you are the creator of heaven,
00:17:43.857 --> 00:17:45.425
You are the creator of heaven, and you are
00:17:45.492 --> 00:17:46.092
And you are the creator of earth.
00:17:46.159 --> 00:17:47.260
The creator of earth. you are the shepherd
00:17:47.327 --> 00:17:48.194
You are the shepherd of the stars.
00:17:48.261 --> 00:17:49.028
Of the stars. you have them numbered
00:17:49.095 --> 00:17:50.330
You have them numbered and you call them by name.
00:17:50.396 --> 00:17:51.764
And you call them by name. you're the one who sits
00:17:51.831 --> 00:17:52.932
You're the one who sits on the circle of the earth,
00:17:52.999 --> 00:17:54.400
On the circle of the earth, and you hold the mountains
00:17:54.467 --> 00:17:55.668
And you hold the mountains in a scale and the hills
00:17:55.735 --> 00:17:57.036
In a scale and the hills in a balance.
00:17:57.103 --> 00:17:58.037
In a balance. i'm calling on the god
00:17:58.104 --> 00:17:59.672
I'm calling on the god of abraham, isaac, and jacob,
00:17:59.739 --> 00:18:01.808
Of abraham, isaac, and jacob, who keeps his covenant
00:18:01.875 --> 00:18:02.942
Who keeps his covenant for a thousand generations.
00:18:03.009 --> 00:18:04.677
For a thousand generations. i'm calling on the mighty god
00:18:04.744 --> 00:18:06.479
I'm calling on the mighty god who is able to save
00:18:06.546 --> 00:18:07.847
Who is able to save and mighty to deliver.
00:18:07.914 --> 00:18:09.215
And mighty to deliver. i'm calling on him who has never
00:18:09.282 --> 00:18:11.451
I'm calling on him who has never failed and will not fail me now.
00:18:11.518 --> 00:18:13.419
[applause]
00:18:14.287 --> 00:18:19.959
Go into heavenly places
00:18:20.393 --> 00:18:21.294
Go into heavenly places and make sure that you let
00:18:21.361 --> 00:18:22.495
And make sure that you let everybody know who
00:18:22.562 --> 00:18:23.329
Everybody know who you're talking to.
00:18:23.396 --> 00:18:25.698
You're talking to. the third thing that you do when
00:18:25.765 --> 00:18:26.699
The third thing that you do when you pray is that when you pray,
00:18:26.766 --> 00:18:30.370
You pray is that when you pray, you thank god
00:18:30.436 --> 00:18:31.704
You thank god for what he has done.
00:18:31.771 --> 00:18:35.041
For what he has done. the bible says,
00:18:35.108 --> 00:18:35.642
The bible says, "put on the garment of praise
00:18:35.708 --> 00:18:38.645
"put on the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness."
00:18:38.711 --> 00:18:42.115
For the spirit of heaviness." and this world is
00:18:42.182 --> 00:18:42.749
And this world is a heavy place.
00:18:42.815 --> 00:18:44.784
A heavy place. it'll put you
00:18:44.851 --> 00:18:45.451
It'll put you in some dire straits,
00:18:45.518 --> 00:18:46.819
In some dire straits, some difficult circumstances.
00:18:46.886 --> 00:18:49.255
Some difficult circumstances. it'll weigh you down.
00:18:49.322 --> 00:18:51.324
It'll weigh you down. but when you start giving god
00:18:51.391 --> 00:18:53.026
But when you start giving god thanks for what he has done,
00:18:53.092 --> 00:18:55.295
Thanks for what he has done, suddenly you put on a garment
00:18:55.361 --> 00:18:56.963
Suddenly you put on a garment that causes all of that
00:18:57.030 --> 00:18:57.997
That causes all of that heaviness to flee.
00:18:58.064 --> 00:19:00.433
Heaviness to flee. you don't know
00:19:00.500 --> 00:19:01.000
You don't know what to pray about?
00:19:01.067 --> 00:19:01.634
What to pray about? just start talking to god
00:19:01.701 --> 00:19:02.835
Just start talking to god and being thankful unto him,
00:19:02.902 --> 00:19:05.138
And being thankful unto him, and blessing his name.
00:19:05.205 --> 00:19:07.006
And blessing his name. god, i thank you

And redeemed me. i thank you that he's broken

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

I thank you that he's taken the shame and the guilt
00:19:37.537 --> 00:19:38.771

00:21:05.958 --> 00:21:06.959
"oh, i'm so worried about this, i'm so worried about that."
00:21:07.026 --> 00:21:08.895
I'm so worried about that." start thanking god,
00:21:08.961 --> 00:21:10.229
Start thanking god, worry will just
00:21:10.296 --> 00:21:10.963
Worry will just take the exit.
00:21:11.030 --> 00:21:11.931
When you go
00:21:15.702 --> 00:21:16.202
When you go to heavenly places,
00:21:16.269 --> 00:21:17.570
To heavenly places, one, you have
00:21:17.637 --> 00:21:18.404
One, you have to open your mouth.
00:21:18.471 --> 00:21:19.439
To open your mouth. two, you are calling on god
00:21:19.505 --> 00:21:21.507
Two, you are calling on god in jesus' name.
00:21:21.574 --> 00:21:23.443
In jesus' name. three, thank god
00:21:23.509 --> 00:21:25.445
Three, thank god for what he has done.
00:21:25.511 --> 00:21:28.047
For what he has done. and once you've thanked him
00:21:28.114 --> 00:21:29.015
And once you've thanked him for what he has done,
00:21:29.082 --> 00:21:30.650
For what he has done, then you start praising god
00:21:30.717 --> 00:21:32.885
Then you start praising god for what he will do.
00:21:32.952 --> 00:21:35.488
For what he will do. what's the difference?
00:21:35.555 --> 00:21:36.422
What's the difference? thanking god for what he has
00:21:36.489 --> 00:21:37.857
Thanking god for what he has done is giving him adoration
00:21:37.924 --> 00:21:40.526
Done is giving him adoration for the goodness that he's
00:21:40.593 --> 00:21:41.694
For the goodness that he's demonstrated in your past.
00:21:41.761 --> 00:21:43.329
Demonstrated in your past. praising him for what he will do
00:21:43.396 --> 00:21:46.032
Praising him for what he will do is speaking prophetic
00:21:46.099 --> 00:21:47.533
Is speaking prophetic blessings into your future.
00:21:47.600 --> 00:21:49.502
Blessings into your future. you're saying,
00:21:49.569 --> 00:21:50.169
You're saying, "god, because you did it here,
00:21:50.236 --> 00:21:52.338
"god, because you did it here, i believe you'll do it again.
00:21:52.405 --> 00:21:54.207
I believe you'll do it again. because you healed me before,
00:21:54.273 --> 00:21:56.042
Because you healed me before, i give you glory for when you're
00:21:56.109 --> 00:21:57.810
I give you glory for when you're gonna heal me in my future.
00:21:57.877 --> 00:21:59.846
Gonna heal me in my future. you've turned things around
00:21:59.912 --> 00:22:01.280
You've turned things around on my behalf in the past,
00:22:01.347 --> 00:22:03.182
On my behalf in the past, and i know that you're gonna
00:22:03.249 --> 00:22:04.150
And i know that you're gonna make a way where
00:22:04.217 --> 00:22:05.151
Make a way where there seems to be no way
00:22:05.218 --> 00:22:06.619
There seems to be no way in all of my tomorrows.
00:22:06.686 --> 00:22:08.187
In all of my tomorrows. i give you thanks
00:22:08.254 --> 00:22:09.389
I give you thanks and i give you praise
00:22:09.455 --> 00:22:10.456
And i give you praise because you're my shepherd,
00:22:10.523 --> 00:22:12.091
Because you're my shepherd, and because you're my shepherd,
00:22:12.158 --> 00:22:13.960
And because you're my shepherd, i praise you that

I praise you that i shall not want.
00:22:14.827 --> 00:22:15.928
I shall not want. i'll not want for joy because
00:22:15.995 --> 00:22:17.697
I'll not want for joy because in your presence is the fullness
00:22:17.764 --> 00:22:18.765
In your presence is the fullness of joy.
00:22:18.831 --> 00:22:19.732
Of joy. i shall not want for victory
00:22:19.799 --> 00:22:21.467
I shall not want for victory because the battle
00:22:21.534 --> 00:22:22.268
Because the battle belongs to the lord.
00:22:22.335 --> 00:22:23.536
Belongs to the lord. i shall not want
00:22:23.603 --> 00:22:24.504
I shall not want for peace because you
00:22:24.570 --> 00:22:25.805
For peace because you are the prince of peace.
00:22:25.872 --> 00:22:26.906
Are the prince of peace. i shall not want for anything
00:22:26.973 --> 00:22:29.075
I shall not want for anything because my god shall supply
00:22:29.142 --> 00:22:31.010
Because my god shall supply all of my needs according
00:22:31.077 --> 00:22:32.712
All of my needs according to his riches in glory.
00:22:32.779 --> 00:22:34.046
To his riches in glory. when you start talking to god
00:22:34.113 --> 00:22:35.848
When you start talking to god about what he has done
00:22:35.915 --> 00:22:37.316
About what he has done and what he will do,
00:22:37.383 --> 00:22:38.851
And what he will do, you start pulling down
00:22:38.918 --> 00:22:40.386
You start pulling down every high thing that
00:22:40.453 --> 00:22:42.255
Every high thing that in any way causes you
00:22:42.321 --> 00:22:43.656
In any way causes you to fear that god
00:22:43.723 --> 00:22:44.824
To fear that god would ever fail you.
00:22:44.891 --> 00:22:46.092
Would ever fail you. you begin to crush every doubt.
00:22:46.159 --> 00:22:48.227
You begin to crush every doubt. you begin to destroy every sense
00:22:48.294 --> 00:22:50.630
You begin to destroy every sense of want or worry
00:22:50.696 --> 00:22:51.998
Of want or worry because your god is able
00:22:52.064 --> 00:22:53.766
Because your god is able to do all things.
00:22:53.833 --> 00:22:55.535
To do all things. give him thanks and praise
00:22:55.601 --> 00:22:57.236
Give him thanks and praise in this house today!
00:22:57.303 --> 00:22:58.204
[applause]
00:22:58.604 --> 00:23:06.946
I say this in closing.
00:23:07.413 --> 00:23:08.214
I say this in closing. the last thing that
00:23:08.281 --> 00:23:09.182
The last thing that you do in prayer.
00:23:09.248 --> 00:23:12.385
You do in prayer. first, you say it.
00:23:12.452 --> 00:23:14.086
First, you say it. you have to open
00:23:14.153 --> 00:23:14.854
You have to open your mouth and do it.
00:23:14.921 --> 00:23:17.857
Your mouth and do it. two, you say it to god
00:23:17.924 --> 00:23:21.294
Two, you say it to god the father in jesus' name.
00:23:21.360 --> 00:23:24.397
The father in jesus' name. three, you thank him
00:23:24.464 --> 00:23:26.032
Three, you thank him for what he has done.
00:23:26.098 --> 00:23:27.433
For what he has done. four, you praise him
00:23:27.500 --> 00:23:29.101
Four, you praise him for what he will do.
00:23:29.168 --> 00:23:32.305
For what he will do. and the fifth thing,
00:23:32.371 --> 00:23:34.941
And the fifth thing, when you pray,
00:23:35.007 --> 00:23:35.808
When you pray, you pray with someone
00:23:35.875 --> 00:23:37.210
You pray with someone in agreement.
00:23:37.276 --> 00:23:40.680
In agreement. jesus said,
00:23:40.746 --> 00:23:43.182
Jesus said, "if any two of you gather
00:23:43.249 --> 00:23:44.484
"if any two of you gather on earth in my name,
00:23:44.550 --> 00:23:47.320
On earth in my name, and come into agreement,"
00:23:47.386 --> 00:23:50.923
And come into agreement," say that with me, agreement.
00:23:50.990 --> 00:23:54.360
Say that with me, agreement. it's very important that you
00:23:54.427 --> 00:23:55.394
It's very important that you don't miss that point.
00:23:55.461 --> 00:23:59.532
Don't miss that point. because sometimes, people say,
00:23:59.599 --> 00:24:00.566
Because sometimes, people say, "well, all i gotta do
00:24:00.633 --> 00:24:01.334
"well, all i gotta do is just come together."
00:24:01.400 --> 00:24:02.468
Is just come together." no, no, no, no.
00:24:02.535 --> 00:24:04.036
No, no, no, no. in agreement.
00:24:04.103 --> 00:24:07.073
In agreement. not everybody you get together
00:24:07.139 --> 00:24:08.541
Not everybody you get together with are you in agreement with.
00:24:08.608 --> 00:24:11.677
With are you in agreement with. just have thanksgiving
00:24:11.744 --> 00:24:12.778
Just have thanksgiving at the family's house.
00:24:12.845 --> 00:24:15.114
At the family's house. oh sorry, different sermon.
00:24:15.181 --> 00:24:19.485
Oh sorry, different sermon. but when it comes to prayer,
00:24:19.552 --> 00:24:22.588
But when it comes to prayer, if you want exponential power,
00:24:22.655 --> 00:24:24.757
If you want exponential power, you've got to come together
00:24:24.824 --> 00:24:26.325
You've got to come together and pray with someone in, what?
00:24:26.392 --> 00:24:29.428
And pray with someone in, what? agreement.
00:24:29.495 --> 00:24:31.063
Agreement. why?
00:24:31.130 --> 00:24:32.732
Why? because god said whatever
00:24:32.798 --> 00:24:34.066
Because god said whatever you ask in agreement,
00:24:34.133 --> 00:24:36.235
You ask in agreement, in faith believing,
00:24:36.302 --> 00:24:37.670
In faith believing, doubting nothing,
00:24:37.737 --> 00:24:41.173
Doubting nothing, whatever you ask,
00:24:41.240 --> 00:24:41.941
Whatever you ask, it will be done.
00:24:42.008 --> 00:24:44.977
It will be done. and that's why the agreement
00:24:45.044 --> 00:24:45.945
And that's why the agreement factor is so important.
00:24:46.012 --> 00:24:49.315
Factor is so important. because if you're believing
00:24:49.382 --> 00:24:50.383
Because if you're believing for a healing and you
00:24:50.449 --> 00:24:52.585
For a healing and you go to somebody and say,
00:24:52.652 --> 00:24:53.619
Go to somebody and say, "i want you to pray
00:24:53.686 --> 00:24:54.287
"i want you to pray with me about healing,"
00:24:54.353 --> 00:24:55.187
With me about healing," and they go,
00:24:55.254 --> 00:24:55.655
And they go, "well, you know what
00:24:55.721 --> 00:24:56.289
"well, you know what the doctor said."
00:24:56.355 --> 00:24:58.925
The doctor said." then cut them
00:24:58.991 --> 00:24:59.892
Then cut them from your prayer team
00:24:59.959 --> 00:25:01.127
From your prayer team you're disqualified.
00:25:01.193 --> 00:25:01.994
You're disqualified. you can't be in my prayer life.
00:25:02.061 --> 00:25:03.329
[applause]
00:25:03.796 --> 00:25:09.302
"i want you to pray
00:25:09.468 --> 00:25:10.236
"i want you to pray with me about my son,
00:25:10.303 --> 00:25:11.537
With me about my son, my daughter,
00:25:11.604 --> 00:25:12.204
My daughter, my family member who's lost."
00:25:12.271 --> 00:25:13.806
My family member who's lost." "well, you know where
00:25:13.873 --> 00:25:14.707
"well, you know where they were last friday."
00:25:14.774 --> 00:25:15.875
They were last friday." uh-uh, you're fired.
00:25:15.942 --> 00:25:18.978
Uh-uh, you're fired. out.
00:25:19.045 --> 00:25:22.848
Out. because if you're believing,
00:25:22.915 --> 00:25:24.083
Because if you're believing, and they're doubting,
00:25:24.150 --> 00:25:25.084
And they're doubting, their doubt is canceling
00:25:25.151 --> 00:25:26.185
Their doubt is canceling out your belief.
00:25:26.252 --> 00:25:29.155
Out your belief. but if you come together
00:25:29.221 --> 00:25:29.989
But if you come together in agreement,
00:25:30.056 --> 00:25:30.590
In agreement, the bible says one of us
00:25:30.656 --> 00:25:31.791
The bible says one of us can put a thousand to flight,
00:25:31.857 --> 00:25:33.225
Can put a thousand to flight, two of us can put
00:25:33.292 --> 00:25:34.760
Two of us can put then thousand to flight.
00:25:34.827 --> 00:25:36.929
Then thousand to flight. exponentially, god pours out
00:25:36.996 --> 00:25:38.898
Exponentially, god pours out his power upon your life
00:25:38.965 --> 00:25:41.100
His power upon your life when you come together
00:25:41.167 --> 00:25:42.435
When you come together with the right person
00:25:42.501 --> 00:25:43.502
With the right person in agreement.
00:25:43.569 --> 00:25:44.303
Prayer is the
00:25:44.503 --> 00:25:45.471
Prayer is the most powerful force
00:25:45.538 --> 00:25:46.839
