Pastor matt hagee: what you
00:00:15.875 --> 00:00:16.409
Pastor matt hagee: what you need to know is that nothing
00:00:16.476 --> 00:00:17.677
Need to know is that nothing really happens in your life
00:00:17.744 --> 00:00:20.313
Really happens in your life until you pray.
00:00:20.380 --> 00:00:22.949
Until you pray. in psalms 18,
00:00:23.016 --> 00:00:24.250
In psalms 18, david is giving god not only
00:00:24.317 --> 00:00:25.819
David is giving god not only praise for giving him
00:00:25.885 --> 00:00:27.587
Praise for giving him victory over his enemies,
00:00:27.654 --> 00:00:29.889
Victory over his enemies, but he's also
00:00:29.956 --> 00:00:30.723
But he's also giving us the memoir of how
00:00:30.790 --> 00:00:32.926

18 major wars that he fought. and the thing that i love
00:00:38.898 --> 00:00:39.766
And the thing that i love about david is that
00:00:39.833 --> 00:00:40.767
About david is that he's very honest
00:00:40.834 --> 00:00:41.734
He's very honest and transparent.
00:00:41.801 --> 00:00:42.602
And transparent. he doesn't say,
00:00:42.669 --> 00:00:43.336
He doesn't say, "well, i beat this enemy
00:00:43.403 --> 00:00:45.171
"well, i beat this enemy because i had
00:00:45.238 --> 00:00:45.939
Because i had a superior strategy."
00:00:46.005 --> 00:00:47.073
A superior strategy." or "i won this battle
00:00:47.140 --> 00:00:48.641
Or "i won this battle because i was greater
00:00:48.708 --> 00:00:49.976
Because i was greater in physical ability."
00:00:50.043 --> 00:00:53.179
In physical ability." in the first few verses,
00:00:53.246 --> 00:00:54.447
In the first few verses, he's telling us about how he
00:00:54.514 --> 00:00:57.250
He's telling us about how he found god to be a refuge,
00:00:57.317 --> 00:00:58.985
Found god to be a refuge, and a fortress,
00:00:59.052 --> 00:00:59.819
And a fortress, and a deliverer,
00:00:59.886 --> 00:01:00.854
And a deliverer, and the horn of his salvation,
00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:02.489
And the horn of his salvation, and a stronghold,
00:01:02.555 --> 00:01:03.590
And a stronghold, and all of the difficult things
00:01:03.656 --> 00:01:04.724
And all of the difficult things that he went to,
00:01:04.791 --> 00:01:05.859
That he went to, but until you get to verse 6,
00:01:05.925 --> 00:01:09.896
But until you get to verse 6, nothing really happens.
00:01:09.963 --> 00:01:12.298
Nothing really happens. in verse 4, he says,
00:01:12.365 --> 00:01:13.533
In verse 4, he says, "death surrounded me.
00:01:13.600 --> 00:01:15.735
"death surrounded me. ungodliness made me afraid.
00:01:15.802 --> 00:01:17.871
Ungodliness made me afraid. sorrow snared me.
00:01:17.937 --> 00:01:20.340
Sorrow snared me. death confronted me."
00:01:20.406 --> 00:01:22.475
Death confronted me." this is not a hallmark
00:01:22.542 --> 00:01:23.376
This is not a hallmark greeting card
00:01:23.443 --> 00:01:24.244
Greeting card that he's writing here.
00:01:24.310 --> 00:01:26.779
That he's writing here. but then in verse 6, he says,
00:01:26.846 --> 00:01:28.348
But then in verse 6, he says, "something changed."
00:01:28.414 --> 00:01:29.749
"something changed." what changed?
00:01:29.816 --> 00:01:31.384
What changed? he says, "in my distress,
00:01:31.451 --> 00:01:33.453
He says, "in my distress, i called upon the lord."
00:01:33.520 --> 00:01:38.057
I called upon the lord." nothing really happens
00:01:38.124 --> 00:01:39.792
Nothing really happens until you pray.
00:01:39.859 --> 00:01:42.095
Until you pray. david said,
00:01:42.162 --> 00:01:42.662
David said, "i called upon the lord.
00:01:42.729 --> 00:01:44.297
"i called upon the lord. and what's even better
00:01:44.364 --> 00:01:45.465
And what's even better is he heard my voice."
00:01:45.532 --> 00:01:49.035
Is he heard my voice." aren't you thankful today
00:01:49.102 --> 00:01:49.936
Aren't you thankful today that not only can
00:01:50.003 --> 00:01:50.637
That not only can you call on him,
00:01:50.703 --> 00:01:52.005
You call on him, but when you call on him,
00:01:52.071 --> 00:01:53.873
But when you call on him, he hears your voice?
00:01:53.940 --> 00:01:57.076
He hears your voice? heaven doesn't have
00:01:57.143 --> 00:01:58.144
Heaven doesn't have an automated answering
00:01:58.211 --> 00:01:59.145
An automated answering machine that says,
00:01:59.212 --> 00:02:00.280
Machine that says, "for healing, press one.
00:02:00.346 --> 00:02:01.915
"for healing, press one. and for deliverance, press two.
00:02:01.981 --> 00:02:06.219
And for deliverance, press two. if you're going through
00:02:06.286 --> 00:02:06.786
If you're going through the same old, same old,
00:02:06.853 --> 00:02:07.687
The same old, same old, just wait."
00:02:07.754 --> 00:02:10.356
Just wait." no, david said,
00:02:10.423 --> 00:02:11.391

In my distress," listen to it.
00:02:14.661 --> 00:02:15.461
Listen to it. it says, "he heard my voice,
00:02:15.528 --> 00:02:18.164
It says, "he heard my voice, and my cry came before him,
00:02:18.231 --> 00:02:20.600
And my cry came before him, even to his ears."
00:02:20.667 --> 00:02:22.569
Even to his ears." david was saying that god
00:02:22.635 --> 00:02:23.937
David was saying that god is sitting in heaven cupping
00:02:24.003 --> 00:02:25.572
Is sitting in heaven cupping his hands behind
00:02:25.638 --> 00:02:26.706
His hands behind his ears saying,
00:02:26.773 --> 00:02:27.907
His ears saying, "talk to me.
00:02:27.974 --> 00:02:28.741
"talk to me. tell me what it is
00:02:28.808 --> 00:02:29.709
Tell me what it is that you need.
00:02:29.776 --> 00:02:30.610
That you need. call upon me so i can show
00:02:30.677 --> 00:02:32.445
Call upon me so i can show you great and mighty things
00:02:32.512 --> 00:02:34.214
You great and mighty things that you know not."
00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:35.248
That you know not." in the next several verses
00:02:35.315 --> 00:02:37.083
In the next several verses right after david says,
00:02:37.150 --> 00:02:38.151

"i called upon the lord." from verse 7
00:02:39.886 --> 00:02:40.587
From verse 7 all the way to 19,
00:02:40.653 --> 00:02:42.355
All the way to 19, look at the list of things
00:02:42.422 --> 00:02:43.690
Look at the list of things that david said god
00:02:43.756 --> 00:02:44.991

God in his distress. he says,

He says, "i'm down here facing a giant."
00:02:49.829 --> 00:02:51.631
"i'm down here facing a giant." god says,
00:02:51.698 --> 00:02:52.298
God says, "i've got an answer
00:02:52.365 --> 00:02:53.032
"i've got an answer for the giant."
00:02:53.099 --> 00:02:53.566
For the giant." "i'm down here facing an army."
00:02:53.633 --> 00:02:55.435

God says, "i've got an answer
00:03:00.006 --> 00:03:00.540
"i've got an answer for the insurrection."

For the insurrection." and for the next several verses,
00:03:02.008 --> 00:03:03.142
And for the next several verses, he says,
00:03:03.209 --> 00:03:03.810
He says, "the earth shook,
00:03:03.876 --> 00:03:05.311
"the earth shook, the hills quaked.
00:03:05.378 --> 00:03:06.679
The hills quaked. god got so angry that
00:03:06.746 --> 00:03:08.514
God got so angry that smoke came out of his nostrils
00:03:08.581 --> 00:03:10.483
Smoke came out of his nostrils and fire came out
00:03:10.550 --> 00:03:11.551
And fire came out of his mouth."
00:03:11.618 --> 00:03:12.485
Of his mouth." you may have known some people
00:03:12.552 --> 00:03:13.853
You may have known some people that you thought
00:03:13.920 --> 00:03:14.554
That you thought they could get mad,
00:03:14.621 --> 00:03:15.588
They could get mad, but you don't know anybody
00:03:15.655 --> 00:03:16.589
But you don't know anybody can get that mad.
00:03:16.656 --> 00:03:19.425
Can get that mad. what is prayer?
00:03:19.492 --> 00:03:21.594
What is prayer? people use the word
00:03:21.661 --> 00:03:22.495
People use the word all the time,
00:03:22.562 --> 00:03:22.929
All the time, but very few really
00:03:22.996 --> 00:03:23.696
But very few really understand its definition.
00:03:23.763 --> 00:03:25.898
Understand its definition. and in order to get
00:03:25.965 --> 00:03:26.799
And in order to get a definition,
00:03:26.866 --> 00:03:27.700
A definition, you have to use
00:03:27.767 --> 00:03:28.701
You have to use the source of truth,
00:03:28.768 --> 00:03:29.535
The source of truth, which is the word of god.
00:03:29.602 --> 00:03:32.438
Which is the word of god. prayer is not something you
00:03:32.505 --> 00:03:33.406
Prayer is not something you do on the sideline
00:03:33.473 --> 00:03:34.674
Do on the sideline at a football game.
00:03:34.741 --> 00:03:37.043
At a football game. "oh lord, please let us win."
00:03:37.110 --> 00:03:42.048
"oh lord, please let us win." if you're a cowboys fan,
00:03:42.115 --> 00:03:43.082
If you're a cowboys fan, you need to fast and pray.
00:03:43.149 --> 00:03:44.717
[laughter]
00:03:45.151 --> 00:03:49.589
I mean,
00:03:49.889 --> 00:03:50.290
I mean, these kind come out
00:03:50.356 --> 00:03:51.457
These kind come out but by fasting and prayer.
00:03:51.524 --> 00:03:57.697
But by fasting and prayer. but when you look at the bible,
00:03:57.764 --> 00:03:58.865
But when you look at the bible, you come to understand that
00:03:58.931 --> 00:04:00.633
You come to understand that prayer has a very
00:04:00.700 --> 00:04:01.734
Prayer has a very real definition,
00:04:01.801 --> 00:04:02.568
Real definition, and the first thing
00:04:02.635 --> 00:04:03.202
And the first thing that you see is that prayer
00:04:03.269 --> 00:04:04.937
That you see is that prayer is not a monologue,
00:04:05.004 --> 00:04:06.606
Is not a monologue, prayer is a dialogue.
00:04:06.673 --> 00:04:09.942
Prayer is a dialogue. what does that mean?
00:04:10.009 --> 00:04:10.576
What does that mean? that means that prayer
00:04:10.643 --> 00:04:11.844
That means that prayer is not you talking to god
00:04:11.911 --> 00:04:13.579
Is not you talking to god and god listening,
00:04:13.646 --> 00:04:15.748
And god listening, prayer is a heavenly
00:04:15.815 --> 00:04:17.150
Prayer is a heavenly conversation that you get
00:04:17.216 --> 00:04:18.718
Conversation that you get in with the creator
00:04:18.785 --> 00:04:19.919
In with the creator of heaven and earth.
00:04:19.986 --> 00:04:20.720
Of heaven and earth. and not only do you
00:04:20.787 --> 00:04:21.621
And not only do you speak to him,
00:04:21.688 --> 00:04:22.855
Speak to him, but he speaks to you.
00:04:22.922 --> 00:04:26.693
But he speaks to you. but like all dialogue,
00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:28.227
But like all dialogue, you have to learn how
00:04:28.294 --> 00:04:29.329
You have to learn how to communicate effectively
00:04:29.395 --> 00:04:31.230
To communicate effectively with the person that
00:04:31.297 --> 00:04:32.031
With the person that you're in conversation with.
00:04:32.098 --> 00:04:34.801
You're in conversation with. the more you know someone,
00:04:34.867 --> 00:04:36.302
The more you know someone, the more efficient you are
00:04:36.369 --> 00:04:38.571
The more efficient you are at understanding
00:04:38.638 --> 00:04:39.439
At understanding what they're saying.
00:04:39.505 --> 00:04:40.306
What they're saying. you learn the sound
00:04:40.373 --> 00:04:41.341
You learn the sound of their voice.
00:04:41.407 --> 00:04:42.041
Of their voice. you learn what they say
00:04:42.108 --> 00:04:43.843
You learn what they say and how they say it.
00:04:43.910 --> 00:04:47.213
And how they say it. you have to get to know somebody
00:04:47.280 --> 00:04:49.015
You have to get to know somebody before you can
00:04:49.082 --> 00:04:49.782
Before you can communicate effectively.
00:04:49.849 --> 00:04:51.951
Communicate effectively. and sometimes,
00:04:52.018 --> 00:04:52.585
And sometimes, people get frustrated because
00:04:52.652 --> 00:04:53.953
People get frustrated because they don't feel like
00:04:54.020 --> 00:04:54.520
They don't feel like they're effective in prayer.
00:04:54.587 --> 00:04:55.888
They're effective in prayer. and the reason they're not
00:04:55.955 --> 00:04:56.689
And the reason they're not effective in prayer is because
00:04:56.756 --> 00:04:57.890
Effective in prayer is because you haven't learned
00:04:57.957 --> 00:04:58.691
You haven't learned what god sounds like.
00:04:58.758 --> 00:05:01.728
What god sounds like. people say,
00:05:01.794 --> 00:05:02.261
People say, "oh no, i would know
00:05:02.328 --> 00:05:03.196
"oh no, i would know exactly what god would say
00:05:03.262 --> 00:05:04.831
Exactly what god would say if he said it to me."
00:05:04.897 --> 00:05:05.698
If he said it to me." no, you wouldn't.
00:05:05.765 --> 00:05:06.332
No, you wouldn't. read the bible.
00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:06.999
Read the bible. samuel heard god's voice three
00:05:07.066 --> 00:05:09.268
Samuel heard god's voice three times in one night before
00:05:09.335 --> 00:05:11.237
Times in one night before he figured out who it was.
00:05:11.304 --> 00:05:13.740
He figured out who it was. you've got to get
00:05:13.806 --> 00:05:14.307

Stop until heaven moves. i'm not gonna stop
00:08:16.989 --> 00:08:18.257
I'm not gonna stop until hearts break.
00:08:18.324 --> 00:08:19.592
Until hearts break. i'm not gonna stop until
00:08:19.659 --> 00:08:21.127
I'm not gonna stop until bodies are healed."

Do you have a daughter? do you have a family
00:08:24.564 --> 00:08:25.398
Do you have a family member in the far country?
00:08:25.464 --> 00:08:26.966

He knows about the need today. don't stop praying until
00:08:35.141 --> 00:08:36.609
Don't stop praying until he breaks through.
00:08:36.676 --> 00:08:37.710
He breaks through. understand that when you
00:08:37.777 --> 00:08:39.145
Understand that when you go into heavenly places
00:08:39.211 --> 00:08:40.813
Go into heavenly places and you pray in jesus' name,
00:08:40.880 --> 00:08:42.782
And you pray in jesus' name, you have the power to pull
00:08:42.848 --> 00:08:44.116
You have the power to pull down every stronghold
00:08:44.183 --> 00:08:45.818

[applause]
00:08:56.128 --> 00:09:01.434
Prayer is something
00:09:02.868 --> 00:09:03.769
Prayer is something you have to learn to do.
00:09:03.836 --> 00:09:06.238
You have to learn to do. that's why the disciples said,
00:09:06.305 --> 00:09:07.440
That's why the disciples said, "lord, teach us to pray."
00:09:07.506 --> 00:09:10.576
"lord, teach us to pray." not that they
00:09:10.643 --> 00:09:11.277
Not that they didn't try praying,
00:09:11.344 --> 00:09:12.378
Didn't try praying, but they recognized
00:09:12.445 --> 00:09:13.346
But they recognized that when jesus prayed,
00:09:13.412 --> 00:09:14.680
That when jesus prayed, something different happened.
00:09:14.747 --> 00:09:17.183
Something different happened. when jesus prayed,
00:09:17.249 --> 00:09:18.184
When jesus prayed, five loaves
00:09:18.250 --> 00:09:18.884
Five loaves and two fish fed 5,000.
00:09:18.951 --> 00:09:21.554
And two fish fed 5,000. when jesus prayed,
00:09:21.621 --> 00:09:22.521
When jesus prayed, lazarus who was dead
00:09:22.588 --> 00:09:23.789
Lazarus who was dead got out of his grave.
00:09:23.856 --> 00:09:24.857
Got out of his grave. when jesus prayed,
00:09:24.924 --> 00:09:26.292
When jesus prayed, the lame could leap,
00:09:26.359 --> 00:09:27.259
The lame could leap, demon possessed were
00:09:27.326 --> 00:09:28.127
Demon possessed were set free, storms stopped.
00:09:28.194 --> 00:09:32.331
Set free, storms stopped. and they said,
00:09:32.398 --> 00:09:32.965
And they said, "we wanna pray like you pray,
00:09:33.032 --> 00:09:35.167
"we wanna pray like you pray, so teach us how to do that."
00:09:35.234 --> 00:09:38.371
So teach us how to do that." here's a question,
00:09:38.437 --> 00:09:40.006
Here's a question, if jesus christ,
00:09:40.072 --> 00:09:41.607
If jesus christ, the word made flesh,
00:09:41.674 --> 00:09:42.975
The word made flesh, needed to pray, do you?
00:09:43.042 --> 00:09:47.046
Needed to pray, do you? if he prioritized prayer,
00:09:47.113 --> 00:09:49.115
If he prioritized prayer, shouldn't you?
00:09:49.181 --> 00:09:52.418
Shouldn't you? the disciples wanted to know,
00:09:52.485 --> 00:09:53.653
The disciples wanted to know, "how do you do what you do?
00:09:53.719 --> 00:09:55.621
"how do you do what you do? teach us to do it."
00:09:55.688 --> 00:09:57.757
Teach us to do it." and jesus taught them.
00:09:57.823 --> 00:10:00.593
And jesus taught them. and then he gave
00:10:00.660 --> 00:10:01.327
And then he gave them this promise.
00:10:01.394 --> 00:10:03.629
Them this promise. "greater things than
00:10:03.696 --> 00:10:04.530
"greater things than these shall you do."
00:10:04.597 --> 00:10:07.299
These shall you do." how could jesus make such
00:10:07.366 --> 00:10:08.701
How could jesus make such a promise when he's immortal
00:10:08.768 --> 00:10:10.436
A promise when he's immortal and man is mortal?
00:10:10.503 --> 00:10:11.570
And man is mortal? how could the god
00:10:11.637 --> 00:10:13.039
How could the god who is the truth, the way,
00:10:13.105 --> 00:10:14.407
Who is the truth, the way, and the life say something
00:10:14.473 --> 00:10:16.008
And the life say something to individuals that
00:10:16.075 --> 00:10:17.309
To individuals that are just flesh and blood.
00:10:17.376 --> 00:10:19.612
Are just flesh and blood. because he taught them to pray.
00:10:19.679 --> 00:10:23.549
Because he taught them to pray. when you pray like jesus prayed,
00:10:23.616 --> 00:10:25.217
When you pray like jesus prayed, you can do what jesus did.
00:10:25.284 --> 00:10:28.821
You can do what jesus did. too often, people get
00:10:28.888 --> 00:10:29.722
Too often, people get discouraged by prayer,
00:10:29.789 --> 00:10:33.492
Discouraged by prayer, and that's just exactly
00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:34.627
And that's just exactly what the devil wants you to do.
00:10:34.694 --> 00:10:35.895
What the devil wants you to do. be discouraged about praying.
00:10:35.961 --> 00:10:38.564
Be discouraged about praying. why?
00:10:38.631 --> 00:10:39.065
Why? because when you pray,
00:10:39.131 --> 00:10:39.965
Because when you pray, you defeat him.
00:10:40.032 --> 00:10:43.536
You defeat him. people say,
00:10:43.602 --> 00:10:44.103
People say, "well, i don't know
00:10:44.170 --> 00:10:44.603
"well, i don't know how to pray.
00:10:44.670 --> 00:10:45.037
How to pray. i don't know what words to say.
00:10:45.104 --> 00:10:46.272
I don't know what words to say. i don't know the right phrases.
00:10:46.338 --> 00:10:48.808
I don't know the right phrases. and it's probably because
00:10:48.874 --> 00:10:49.642
And it's probably because you've been around people
00:10:49.709 --> 00:10:50.543
You've been around people who speak what
00:10:50.609 --> 00:10:51.343
Who speak what i call "christianese."
00:10:51.410 --> 00:10:54.413
I call "christianese." and they memorize the right,
00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:56.015
And they memorize the right, "father gods"
00:10:56.082 --> 00:10:56.849
"father gods" and "our fathers" and,
00:10:56.916 --> 00:10:59.251
And "our fathers" and, "ye, verily, thus, and so's."
00:10:59.318 --> 00:11:02.988
"ye, verily, thus, and so's." i mean, it's amazing to me
00:11:03.055 --> 00:11:04.123
I mean, it's amazing to me that people who speak
00:11:04.190 --> 00:11:05.157
That people who speak poor english can
00:11:05.224 --> 00:11:06.158
Poor english can get elizabethan when they pray.
00:11:06.225 --> 00:11:07.960
[laughter]
00:11:08.728 --> 00:11:11.230
And yet,
00:11:12.264 --> 00:11:12.598
And yet, when you read the bible,
00:11:12.665 --> 00:11:13.599
When you read the bible, jesus said in matthew,
00:11:13.666 --> 00:11:16.402
Jesus said in matthew, "when you pray,
00:11:16.469 --> 00:11:17.136
"when you pray, do not use vain repetitions
00:11:17.203 --> 00:11:18.838
Do not use vain repetitions like the heathens do,
00:11:18.904 --> 00:11:21.140
Like the heathens do, for the father already
00:11:21.207 --> 00:11:22.141
For the father already knows what you need."
00:11:22.208 --> 00:11:26.378
Knows what you need." jesus gave you permission,
00:11:26.445 --> 00:11:27.513
Jesus gave you permission, even if you use
00:11:27.580 --> 00:11:28.414
Even if you use the simplest language,
00:11:28.481 --> 00:11:29.982
The simplest language, just say it plain and in faith
00:11:30.049 --> 00:11:32.451
Just say it plain and in faith because god already
00:11:32.518 --> 00:11:33.452
Because god already knows what you need.
00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:36.789
Knows what you need. there's so much in the bible
00:11:36.856 --> 00:11:38.023
There's so much in the bible that you could teach on prayer
00:11:38.090 --> 00:11:39.125
That you could teach on prayer for months on end.
00:11:39.191 --> 00:11:41.160
For months on end. but very quickly in the rest
00:11:41.227 --> 00:11:42.194
But very quickly in the rest of this sermon,
00:11:42.261 --> 00:11:42.928
Of this sermon, i wanna share with you
00:11:42.995 --> 00:11:43.763
I wanna share with you five things that you need
00:11:43.829 --> 00:11:44.864
Five things that you need to do when it comes to prayer.
00:11:44.930 --> 00:11:47.466
To do when it comes to prayer. the first thing that you
00:11:47.533 --> 00:11:48.300
The first thing that you need to know about prayer
00:11:48.367 --> 00:11:49.602
Need to know about prayer is that as
00:11:49.668 --> 00:11:50.302
Is that as powerful as god is,
00:11:50.369 --> 00:11:51.771
Powerful as god is, he cannot answer prayer
00:11:51.837 --> 00:11:53.272
He cannot answer prayer until you pray it.
00:11:53.339 --> 00:11:56.575
Until you pray it. what do i mean?
00:11:56.642 --> 00:11:57.476
What do i mean? i mean you actually have
00:11:57.543 --> 00:11:58.778
I mean you actually have to open up your mouth
00:11:58.844 --> 00:12:00.446
To open up your mouth and make the request.
00:12:00.513 --> 00:12:03.983
And make the request. people say, "well, what about
00:12:04.049 --> 00:12:04.784
People say, "well, what about silent prayer?"
00:12:04.850 --> 00:12:05.885
Silent prayer?" there is no silent prayer.
00:12:05.951 --> 00:12:07.319
There is no silent prayer. those aren't prayers,
00:12:07.386 --> 00:12:08.053
Those aren't prayers, those are thoughts.
00:12:08.120 --> 00:12:10.790
Those are thoughts. "well, i have an
00:12:10.856 --> 00:12:11.524
"well, i have an unspoken request."
00:12:11.590 --> 00:12:12.892
Unspoken request." find that in the bible.
00:12:12.958 --> 00:12:16.028
Find that in the bible. even jesus,
00:12:16.095 --> 00:12:16.896
Even jesus, when he saw people
00:12:16.962 --> 00:12:17.830
When he saw people who were lame,
00:12:17.897 --> 00:12:18.631
Who were lame, what did he say?
00:12:18.697 --> 00:12:20.766
What did he say? "do you wanna be made well?"
00:12:20.833 --> 00:12:23.035
"do you wanna be made well?" and they didn't go.
00:12:23.102 --> 00:12:24.637
Unspoken.
00:12:29.909 --> 00:12:33.646
Unspoken. they had to look at him
00:12:33.712 --> 00:12:34.346
They had to look at him and say, "yes."
00:12:34.413 --> 00:12:37.149
And say, "yes." you have to open your mouth
00:12:37.216 --> 00:12:38.384
You have to open your mouth when you pray.
00:12:38.450 --> 00:12:39.118
When you pray. why?
00:12:39.185 --> 00:12:39.652
Why? because there is something
00:12:39.718 --> 00:12:40.519
Because there is something powerful about
00:12:40.586 --> 00:12:42.488
Powerful about the declaration of your mouth.
00:12:42.555 --> 00:12:45.391
The declaration of your mouth. the bible teaches us
00:12:45.457 --> 00:12:46.225
The bible teaches us that the power of life
00:12:46.292 --> 00:12:47.259
That the power of life and death is in the tongue.
00:12:47.326 --> 00:12:49.328
And death is in the tongue. and when you open your mouth
00:12:49.395 --> 00:12:50.696
And when you open your mouth and you begin praying,
00:12:50.763 --> 00:12:51.831
And you begin praying, you begin unleashing the power
00:12:51.897 --> 00:12:53.799
You begin unleashing the power of god's presence
00:12:53.866 --> 00:12:54.867
Of god's presence and his purpose in your life.
00:12:54.934 --> 00:12:56.902
And his purpose in your life. the bible says,
00:12:56.969 --> 00:12:57.670
The bible says, "you have not because
00:12:57.736 --> 00:12:59.538
"you have not because you ask not."
00:12:59.605 --> 00:13:01.273
You ask not." not because you
00:13:01.340 --> 00:13:01.874
Not because you didn't think right.
00:13:01.941 --> 00:13:03.943
Didn't think right. it says,
00:13:04.009 --> 00:13:04.476
It says, you can think all you want to,
00:13:04.543 --> 00:13:06.045
You can think all you want to, but nothing happens
00:13:06.111 --> 00:13:07.146
But nothing happens until you ask.
00:13:07.213 --> 00:13:09.415
Until you ask. jesus said,
00:13:09.481 --> 00:13:10.049
Jesus said, "ask and you shall receive."
00:13:10.115 --> 00:13:13.252
"ask and you shall receive." which means you have
00:13:13.319 --> 00:13:13.886
Which means you have to open your mouth and ask.
00:13:13.953 --> 00:13:17.623
To open your mouth and ask. do you know why god gave
00:13:17.690 --> 00:13:18.691
Do you know why god gave you the ability to talk?
00:13:18.757 --> 00:13:21.393
You the ability to talk? not so you could argue
00:13:21.460 --> 00:13:22.228
Not so you could argue with your wife in traffic.
00:13:22.294 --> 00:13:25.331
With your wife in traffic. god gave you the ability
00:13:25.397 --> 00:13:26.532
God gave you the ability to talk so that you
00:13:26.599 --> 00:13:27.600
To talk so that you could communicate with him.
00:13:27.666 --> 00:13:30.536
Could communicate with him. and when you communicate
00:13:30.603 --> 00:13:31.937
And when you communicate with him,
00:13:32.004 --> 00:13:32.538
With him, you gain the opportunity
00:13:32.605 --> 00:13:34.340
You gain the opportunity to see the impossible
00:13:34.406 --> 00:13:35.541
To see the impossible done in your life.
00:13:35.608 --> 00:13:36.976
Done in your life. mark 11.
00:13:37.042 --> 00:13:38.611
Mark 11. it says,
00:13:38.677 --> 00:13:39.111
It says, "have faith in god for whosoever
00:13:39.178 --> 00:13:42.248
"have faith in god for whosoever shall not doubt in his
00:13:42.314 --> 00:13:43.449
Shall not doubt in his heart but believe,
00:13:43.515 --> 00:13:44.884
Heart but believe, he shall see all
00:13:44.950 --> 00:13:46.452
He shall see all things come to pass.
00:13:46.518 --> 00:13:47.987
Things come to pass. and whatever he says,"
00:13:48.053 --> 00:13:51.357
And whatever he says," verse 23,
00:13:51.423 --> 00:13:52.391
Verse 23, "whatever he says,"
00:13:52.458 --> 00:13:56.028
"whatever he says," say that with me.
00:13:56.095 --> 00:13:57.062
Say that with me. "whatever he says,
00:13:57.129 --> 00:14:00.966
"whatever he says, god will do it."
00:14:01.033 --> 00:14:03.435
God will do it." but you have to say it.
00:14:03.502 --> 00:14:05.170
But you have to say it. god loves to hear from you.
00:14:05.237 --> 00:14:07.139
God loves to hear from you. god wants to hear from you.
00:14:07.206 --> 00:14:09.108
God wants to hear from you. god wants him to be the first
00:14:09.174 --> 00:14:10.876
God wants him to be the first person that you speak to.
00:14:10.943 --> 00:14:13.679
Person that you speak to. in psalm 63, we read,
00:14:13.746 --> 00:14:15.247
In psalm 63, we read, "oh god,
00:14:15.314 --> 00:14:15.881
"oh god, you are my god
00:14:15.948 --> 00:14:16.882
You are my god and early will i seek you."
00:14:16.949 --> 00:14:19.919
And early will i seek you." now, i need to clean
00:14:19.985 --> 00:14:20.653
Now, i need to clean this verse up for you
00:14:20.719 --> 00:14:21.587
This verse up for you so you get it in its original
00:14:21.654 --> 00:14:22.688
So you get it in its original context and not in the modern
00:14:22.755 --> 00:14:24.490
Context and not in the modern twist because some
00:14:24.556 --> 00:14:26.458
Twist because some people take this verse,
00:14:26.525 --> 00:14:27.626
People take this verse, and they say david was
00:14:27.693 --> 00:14:28.794
And they say david was so passionate about the lord,
00:14:28.861 --> 00:14:30.162
So passionate about the lord, he got up early
00:14:30.229 --> 00:14:31.497
He got up early and he sought him.
00:14:31.563 --> 00:14:32.731
And he sought him. and that's not what it says.
00:14:32.798 --> 00:14:34.934
And that's not what it says. first, let's deal with,
00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:35.801
First, let's deal with, "god, you are my god."
00:14:35.868 --> 00:14:37.369
"god, you are my god." was david repeating himself?
00:14:37.436 --> 00:14:38.704
Was david repeating himself? no.
00:14:38.771 --> 00:14:40.072
No. the english language is pretty
00:14:40.139 --> 00:14:41.774
The english language is pretty pathetic when it comes
00:14:41.840 --> 00:14:43.008
Pathetic when it comes to interpretation.
00:14:43.075 --> 00:14:44.677
To interpretation. for example, in hebrew,
00:14:44.743 --> 00:14:45.844
For example, in hebrew, there are many names
00:14:45.911 --> 00:14:46.912
There are many names for god based on
00:14:46.979 --> 00:14:47.880
For god based on god's character.
00:14:47.947 --> 00:14:49.949
God's character. so, when david says,
00:14:50.015 --> 00:14:50.816
So, when david says, "god, you are my god,"
00:14:50.883 --> 00:14:52.217
"god, you are my god," what he's actually
00:14:52.284 --> 00:14:52.985
What he's actually saying in hebrew is,
00:14:53.052 --> 00:14:54.553
Saying in hebrew is, "elohim, you are my
00:14:54.620 --> 00:14:56.188
"elohim, you are my el shaddai."
00:14:56.255 --> 00:14:57.957
El shaddai." he called him
00:14:58.023 --> 00:14:58.624
He called him two different names.
00:14:58.691 --> 00:15:01.193
Two different names. you say,
00:15:01.260 --> 00:15:01.627
You say, "well, that's, kinda, silly."
00:15:01.694 --> 00:15:02.361
"well, that's, kinda, silly." no, it's not.
00:15:02.428 --> 00:15:03.896
No, it's not. you ever looked at your wife
00:15:03.963 --> 00:15:04.596
You ever looked at your wife and said,
00:15:04.663 --> 00:15:05.464
And said, "honey, baby, darling, love?"
00:15:05.531 --> 00:15:08.133
[laughter]
00:15:08.767 --> 00:15:14.840
You've got several names
00:15:16.041 --> 00:15:16.976
You've got several names for people that you're
00:15:17.042 --> 00:15:17.676
For people that you're affectionate with.
00:15:17.743 --> 00:15:19.845
Affectionate with. and what david was saying
00:15:19.912 --> 00:15:20.779
And what david was saying to god, elohim means,
00:15:20.846 --> 00:15:23.148
To god, elohim means, "the god who can do anything."
00:15:23.215 --> 00:15:26.151
"the god who can do anything." and el shaddai means,
00:15:26.218 --> 00:15:27.553
And el shaddai means, "the all sufficient one."
00:15:27.619 --> 00:15:29.755
"the all sufficient one." he was letting everybody know
00:15:29.822 --> 00:15:31.590
He was letting everybody know that the god who can do anything
00:15:31.657 --> 00:15:33.859
That the god who can do anything was his all sufficient one.
00:15:33.926 --> 00:15:36.795
Was his all sufficient one. and then when he said,
00:15:36.862 --> 00:15:37.830
And then when he said, "early will i seek you,"
00:15:37.896 --> 00:15:39.631
"early will i seek you," he's not talking about
00:15:39.698 --> 00:15:40.866
He's not talking about the time of day,
00:15:40.933 --> 00:15:41.700
The time of day, he's talking about priority.
00:15:41.767 --> 00:15:43.502
He's talking about priority. before i talk to anybody else,
00:15:43.569 --> 00:15:45.804
Before i talk to anybody else, i'm gonna talk to you.
00:15:45.871 --> 00:15:48.674
I'm gonna talk to you. so, what does this mean?
00:15:48.741 --> 00:15:49.742
So, what does this mean? this means when somebody comes
00:15:49.808 --> 00:15:50.909
This means when somebody comes up to you and pompously says,
00:15:50.976 --> 00:15:52.411
Up to you and pompously says, "i rise before the sun
00:15:52.478 --> 00:15:54.146
"i rise before the sun to speak with the lord."
00:15:54.213 --> 00:15:56.115
To speak with the lord." good for you.
00:15:56.181 --> 00:15:57.282
[laughter]
00:15:57.683 --> 00:15:58.350
Sleep in.
00:15:59.018 --> 00:15:59.718
Sleep in. you might enjoy it better.
00:15:59.785 --> 00:16:02.821
You might enjoy it better. this is not about
00:16:02.888 --> 00:16:03.589
This is not about the hour of day.
00:16:03.655 --> 00:16:04.523
The hour of day. god is not a space and time god.
00:16:04.590 --> 00:16:07.826
God is not a space and time god. this is about priority.
00:16:07.893 --> 00:16:09.194
This is about priority. what david is saying is
00:16:09.261 --> 00:16:10.462
What david is saying is when you prioritize god
00:16:10.529 --> 00:16:12.464
When you prioritize god as the first place
00:16:12.531 --> 00:16:13.632
As the first place that you'll call upon,
00:16:13.699 --> 00:16:14.967
That you'll call upon, when you go to him before
00:16:15.034 --> 00:16:16.702
When you go to him before go to anybody else,
00:16:16.769 --> 00:16:17.970
Go to anybody else, when you speak to the god
00:16:18.037 --> 00:16:19.738
When you speak to the god who can do anything
00:16:19.805 --> 00:16:21.106
Who can do anything and he's the all sufficient one,
00:16:21.173 --> 00:16:22.841
And he's the all sufficient one, you're going to find answers
00:16:22.908 --> 00:16:24.276
You're going to find answers for problems,
00:16:24.343 --> 00:16:25.144
For problems, and you're going to find
00:16:25.210 --> 00:16:26.111
And you're going to find solutions in days
00:16:26.178 --> 00:16:27.279
Solutions in days of trouble,
00:16:27.346 --> 00:16:28.047
Of trouble, and you're gonna find
00:16:28.113 --> 00:16:28.847
And you're gonna find victories in hours
00:16:28.914 --> 00:16:30.215
Victories in hours where you're under distress
00:16:30.282 --> 00:16:31.683
Where you're under distress because that's the kind
00:16:31.750 --> 00:16:32.684
Because that's the kind of god that you serve.
00:16:32.751 --> 00:16:34.019
[applause]
00:16:35.154 --> 00:16:40.692
The second thing you
00:16:41.160 --> 00:16:41.660
The second thing you need to know about prayer is
00:16:41.727 --> 00:16:43.529
Need to know about prayer is that when you start praying,
00:16:43.595 --> 00:16:45.164
That when you start praying, don't talk about you,
00:16:45.230 --> 00:16:46.765
Don't talk about you, talk about him.
00:16:46.832 --> 00:16:49.768
Talk about him. how did jesus teach
00:16:49.835 --> 00:16:50.669
How did jesus teach the disciples to pray?
00:16:50.736 --> 00:16:51.904
The disciples to pray? "our father."
00:16:51.970 --> 00:16:56.742
"our father." often, i hear people
00:16:56.809 --> 00:16:57.576
Often, i hear people say things like,
00:16:57.643 --> 00:16:58.310
Say things like, "well, i just can't pray
00:16:58.377 --> 00:16:59.044
"well, i just can't pray for a few minutes.
00:16:59.111 --> 00:16:59.845
For a few minutes. it's two or three minutes
00:16:59.912 --> 00:17:01.080
It's two or three minutes of prayer and then i'm out
00:17:01.146 --> 00:17:02.081
Of prayer and then i'm out of things to talk about."
00:17:02.147 --> 00:17:02.915
Of things to talk about." it's because you're talking
00:17:02.981 --> 00:17:03.682
It's because you're talking about the wrong thing.
00:17:03.749 --> 00:17:06.218
About the wrong thing. you're a limited topic, sorry.
00:17:06.285 --> 00:17:09.455
You're a limited topic, sorry. but god is
00:17:09.521 --> 00:17:10.022
But god is an endless conversation.
00:17:10.089 --> 00:17:12.558
An endless conversation. and when you start talking
00:17:12.624 --> 00:17:13.892
And when you start talking in heavenly places,
00:17:13.959 --> 00:17:14.960
In heavenly places, you need to know that
00:17:15.027 --> 00:17:15.828
You need to know that not only are you speaking
00:17:15.894 --> 00:17:16.795
Not only are you speaking to the throne room of grace,
00:17:16.862 --> 00:17:18.130
To the throne room of grace, but you are also in an
00:17:18.197 --> 00:17:19.231
But you are also in an atmosphere where there
00:17:19.298 --> 00:17:20.365
Atmosphere where there are powers and principalities,
00:17:20.432 --> 00:17:22.101
Are powers and principalities, and other spiritual forces.
00:17:22.167 --> 00:17:23.902
And other spiritual forces. and so, when you go into
00:17:23.969 --> 00:17:25.137
And so, when you go into heavenly places and you start
00:17:25.204 --> 00:17:26.438
Heavenly places and you start talking about, "our father,"
00:17:26.505 --> 00:17:28.774
Talking about, "our father," and you're talking about
00:17:28.841 --> 00:17:29.975
And you're talking about the alpha and the omega,
00:17:30.042 --> 00:17:31.944
The alpha and the omega, you're letting every power
00:17:32.010 --> 00:17:33.145
You're letting every power and principality know
00:17:33.212 --> 00:17:34.313
And principality know that you're not
00:17:34.379 --> 00:17:35.080
That you're not just knocking on any door,
00:17:35.147 --> 00:17:36.615
Just knocking on any door, you're going directly
00:17:36.682 --> 00:17:37.483
You're going directly to the king above kings
00:17:37.549 --> 00:17:38.917
To the king above kings and the lord above lords.
00:17:38.984 --> 00:17:40.285
And the lord above lords. you say,
00:17:40.352 --> 00:17:40.786
You say, "god, i'm coming into
00:17:40.853 --> 00:17:42.221
"god, i'm coming into heavenly places today because
00:17:42.287 --> 00:17:43.789
Heavenly places today because you are the creator of heaven,
00:17:43.856 --> 00:17:45.424
You are the creator of heaven, and you are
00:17:45.491 --> 00:17:46.091
And you are the creator of earth.
00:17:46.158 --> 00:17:47.259
The creator of earth. you are the shepherd
00:17:47.326 --> 00:17:48.193
You are the shepherd of the stars.
00:17:48.260 --> 00:17:49.027
Of the stars. you have them numbered
00:17:49.094 --> 00:17:50.329
You have them numbered and you call them by name.
00:17:50.395 --> 00:17:51.763
And you call them by name. you're the one who sits
00:17:51.830 --> 00:17:52.931
You're the one who sits on the circle of the earth,
00:17:52.998 --> 00:17:54.399
On the circle of the earth, and you hold the mountains
00:17:54.466 --> 00:17:55.667
And you hold the mountains in a scale and the hills
00:17:55.734 --> 00:17:57.035
In a scale and the hills in a balance.
00:17:57.102 --> 00:17:58.036
In a balance. i'm calling on the god
00:17:58.103 --> 00:17:59.671
I'm calling on the god of abraham, isaac, and jacob,
00:17:59.738 --> 00:18:01.807
Of abraham, isaac, and jacob, who keeps his covenant
00:18:01.874 --> 00:18:02.941
Who keeps his covenant for a thousand generations.
00:18:03.008 --> 00:18:04.676
For a thousand generations. i'm calling on the mighty god
00:18:04.743 --> 00:18:06.478
I'm calling on the mighty god who is able to save
00:18:06.545 --> 00:18:07.846
Who is able to save and mighty to deliver.
00:18:07.913 --> 00:18:09.214
And mighty to deliver. i'm calling on him who has never
00:18:09.281 --> 00:18:11.450
I'm calling on him who has never failed and will not fail me now.
00:18:11.517 --> 00:18:13.418
[applause]
00:18:14.286 --> 00:18:19.958
Go into heavenly places
00:18:20.392 --> 00:18:21.293
Go into heavenly places and make sure that you let
00:18:21.360 --> 00:18:22.494
And make sure that you let everybody know who
00:18:22.561 --> 00:18:23.328
Everybody know who you're talking to.
00:18:23.395 --> 00:18:25.697
You're talking to. the third thing that you do when
00:18:25.764 --> 00:18:26.698
The third thing that you do when you pray is that when you pray,
00:18:26.765 --> 00:18:30.369
You pray is that when you pray, you thank god
00:18:30.435 --> 00:18:31.703
You thank god for what he has done.
00:18:31.770 --> 00:18:35.040
For what he has done. the bible says,
00:18:35.107 --> 00:18:35.641
The bible says, "put on the garment of praise
00:18:35.707 --> 00:18:38.644
"put on the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness."
00:18:38.710 --> 00:18:42.114
For the spirit of heaviness." and this world is
00:18:42.181 --> 00:18:42.748
And this world is a heavy place.
00:18:42.814 --> 00:18:44.783
A heavy place. it'll put you
00:18:44.850 --> 00:18:45.450
It'll put you in some dire straits,
00:18:45.517 --> 00:18:46.818
In some dire straits, some difficult circumstances.
00:18:46.885 --> 00:18:49.254
Some difficult circumstances. it'll weigh you down.
00:18:49.321 --> 00:18:51.323
It'll weigh you down. but when you start giving god
00:18:51.390 --> 00:18:53.025
But when you start giving god thanks for what he has done,
00:18:53.091 --> 00:18:55.294
Thanks for what he has done, suddenly you put on a garment
00:18:55.360 --> 00:18:56.962
Suddenly you put on a garment that causes all of that
00:18:57.029 --> 00:18:57.996
That causes all of that heaviness to flee.
00:18:58.063 --> 00:19:00.432
Heaviness to flee. you don't know
00:19:00.499 --> 00:19:00.999
You don't know what to pray about?
00:19:01.066 --> 00:19:01.633
What to pray about? just start talking to god
00:19:01.700 --> 00:19:02.834
Just start talking to god and being thankful unto him,
00:19:02.901 --> 00:19:05.137
And being thankful unto him, and blessing his name.
00:19:05.204 --> 00:19:07.005

00:21:17.636 --> 00:21:18.403
One, you have to open your mouth.
00:21:18.470 --> 00:21:19.438
To open your mouth. two, you are calling on god
00:21:19.504 --> 00:21:21.506
Two, you are calling on god in jesus' name.
00:21:21.573 --> 00:21:23.442
In jesus' name. three, thank god
00:21:23.508 --> 00:21:25.444
Three, thank god for what he has done.
00:21:25.510 --> 00:21:28.046
For what he has done. and once you've thanked him
00:21:28.113 --> 00:21:29.014
And once you've thanked him for what he has done,
00:21:29.081 --> 00:21:30.649
For what he has done, then you start praising god
00:21:30.716 --> 00:21:32.884
Then you start praising god for what he will do.
00:21:32.951 --> 00:21:35.487
For what he will do. what's the difference?
00:21:35.554 --> 00:21:36.421
What's the difference? thanking god for what he has
00:21:36.488 --> 00:21:37.856
Thanking god for what he has done is giving him adoration
00:21:37.923 --> 00:21:40.525
Done is giving him adoration for the goodness that he's
00:21:40.592 --> 00:21:41.693
For the goodness that he's demonstrated in your past.
00:21:41.760 --> 00:21:43.328
Demonstrated in your past. praising him for what he will do
00:21:43.395 --> 00:21:46.031
Praising him for what he will do is speaking prophetic
00:21:46.098 --> 00:21:47.532
Is speaking prophetic blessings into your future.
00:21:47.599 --> 00:21:49.501
Blessings into your future. you're saying,
00:21:49.568 --> 00:21:50.168
You're saying, "god, because you did it here,
00:21:50.235 --> 00:21:52.337
"god, because you did it here, i believe you'll do it again.
00:21:52.404 --> 00:21:54.206
I believe you'll do it again. because you healed me before,
00:21:54.272 --> 00:21:56.041
Because you healed me before, i give you glory for when you're
00:21:56.108 --> 00:21:57.809
I give you glory for when you're gonna heal me in my future.
00:21:57.876 --> 00:21:59.845
Gonna heal me in my future. you've turned things around
00:21:59.911 --> 00:22:01.279
You've turned things around on my behalf in the past,
00:22:01.346 --> 00:22:03.181
On my behalf in the past, and i know that you're gonna
00:22:03.248 --> 00:22:04.149
And i know that you're gonna make a way where
00:22:04.216 --> 00:22:05.150
Make a way where there seems to be no way
00:22:05.217 --> 00:22:06.618
There seems to be no way in all of my tomorrows.
00:22:06.685 --> 00:22:08.186
In all of my tomorrows. i give you thanks
00:22:08.253 --> 00:22:09.388
I give you thanks and i give you praise
00:22:09.454 --> 00:22:10.455
And i give you praise because you're my shepherd,
00:22:10.522 --> 00:22:12.090
Because you're my shepherd, and because you're my shepherd,
00:22:12.157 --> 00:22:13.959
And because you're my shepherd, i praise you that
00:22:14.025 --> 00:22:14.760
I praise you that i shall not want.
00:22:14.826 --> 00:22:15.927
I shall not want. i'll not want for joy because
00:22:15.994 --> 00:22:17.696
I'll not want for joy because in your presence is the fullness
00:22:17.763 --> 00:22:18.764
In your presence is the fullness of joy.
00:22:18.830 --> 00:22:19.731
Of joy. i shall not want for victory
00:22:19.798 --> 00:22:21.466
I shall not want for victory because the battle
00:22:21.533 --> 00:22:22.267
Because the battle belongs to the lord.
00:22:22.334 --> 00:22:23.535
Belongs to the lord. i shall not want
00:22:23.602 --> 00:22:24.503
I shall not want for peace because you
00:22:24.569 --> 00:22:25.804
For peace because you are the prince of peace.
00:22:25.871 --> 00:22:26.905
Are the prince of peace. i shall not want for anything
00:22:26.972 --> 00:22:29.074
I shall not want for anything because my god shall supply
00:22:29.141 --> 00:22:31.009
Because my god shall supply all of my needs according
00:22:31.076 --> 00:22:32.711
All of my needs according to his riches in glory.
00:22:32.778 --> 00:22:34.045
To his riches in glory. when you start talking to god
00:22:34.112 --> 00:22:35.847
When you start talking to god about what he has done
00:22:35.914 --> 00:22:37.315
About what he has done and what he will do,
00:22:37.382 --> 00:22:38.850
And what he will do, you start pulling down
00:22:38.917 --> 00:22:40.385
You start pulling down every high thing that
00:22:40.452 --> 00:22:42.254
Every high thing that in any way causes you
00:22:42.320 --> 00:22:43.655
In any way causes you to fear that god
00:22:43.722 --> 00:22:44.823
To fear that god would ever fail you.
00:22:44.890 --> 00:22:46.091
Would ever fail you. you begin to crush every doubt.
00:22:46.158 --> 00:22:48.226
You begin to crush every doubt. you begin to destroy every sense
00:22:48.293 --> 00:22:50.629
You begin to destroy every sense of want or worry
00:22:50.695 --> 00:22:51.997
Of want or worry because your god is able
00:22:52.063 --> 00:22:53.765
Because your god is able to do all things.
00:22:53.832 --> 00:22:55.534
To do all things. give him thanks and praise
00:22:55.600 --> 00:22:57.235
Give him thanks and praise in this house today!
00:22:57.302 --> 00:22:58.203
[applause]
00:22:58.603 --> 00:23:06.945
I say this in closing.
00:23:07.412 --> 00:23:08.213
I say this in closing. the last thing that
00:23:08.280 --> 00:23:09.181
The last thing that you do in prayer.
00:23:09.247 --> 00:23:12.384
You do in prayer. first, you say it.
00:23:12.451 --> 00:23:14.085
First, you say it. you have to open
00:23:14.152 --> 00:23:14.853
You have to open your mouth and do it.
00:23:14.920 --> 00:23:17.856
Your mouth and do it. two, you say it to god
00:23:17.923 --> 00:23:21.293
Two, you say it to god the father in jesus' name.
00:23:21.359 --> 00:23:24.396
The father in jesus' name. three, you thank him
00:23:24.463 --> 00:23:26.031
Three, you thank him for what he has done.
00:23:26.097 --> 00:23:27.432
For what he has done. four, you praise him
00:23:27.499 --> 00:23:29.100
Four, you praise him for what he will do.
00:23:29.167 --> 00:23:32.304
For what he will do. and the fifth thing,
00:23:32.370 --> 00:23:34.940
And the fifth thing, when you pray,
00:23:35.006 --> 00:23:35.807
When you pray, you pray with someone
00:23:35.874 --> 00:23:37.209
You pray with someone in agreement.
00:23:37.275 --> 00:23:40.679
In agreement. jesus said,
00:23:40.745 --> 00:23:43.181
Jesus said, "if any two of you gather
00:23:43.248 --> 00:23:44.483
"if any two of you gather on earth in my name,
00:23:44.549 --> 00:23:47.319
On earth in my name, and come into agreement,"
00:23:47.385 --> 00:23:50.922
And come into agreement," say that with me, agreement.
00:23:50.989 --> 00:23:54.359
Say that with me, agreement. it's very important that you
00:23:54.426 --> 00:23:55.393
It's very important that you don't miss that point.
00:23:55.460 --> 00:23:59.531
Don't miss that point. because sometimes, people say,
00:23:59.598 --> 00:24:00.565
Because sometimes, people say, "well, all i gotta do
00:24:00.632 --> 00:24:01.333
"well, all i gotta do is just come together."
00:24:01.399 --> 00:24:02.467
Is just come together." no, no, no, no.
00:24:02.534 --> 00:24:04.035
No, no, no, no. in agreement.
00:24:04.102 --> 00:24:07.072
In agreement. not everybody you get together
00:24:07.138 --> 00:24:08.540
Not everybody you get together with are you in agreement with.
00:24:08.607 --> 00:24:11.676
With are you in agreement with. just have thanksgiving
00:24:11.743 --> 00:24:12.777
Just have thanksgiving at the family's house.
00:24:12.844 --> 00:24:15.113
At the family's house. oh sorry, different sermon.
00:24:15.180 --> 00:24:19.484
Oh sorry, different sermon. but when it comes to prayer,
00:24:19.551 --> 00:24:22.587
But when it comes to prayer, if you want exponential power,
00:24:22.654 --> 00:24:24.756
If you want exponential power, you've got to come together
00:24:24.823 --> 00:24:26.324
You've got to come together and pray with someone in, what?
00:24:26.391 --> 00:24:29.427
And pray with someone in, what? agreement.
00:24:29.494 --> 00:24:31.062
Agreement. why?
00:24:31.129 --> 00:24:32.731
Why? because god said whatever
00:24:32.797 --> 00:24:34.065
Because god said whatever you ask in agreement,
00:24:34.132 --> 00:24:36.234
You ask in agreement, in faith believing,
00:24:36.301 --> 00:24:37.669
In faith believing, doubting nothing,
00:24:37.736 --> 00:24:41.172
Doubting nothing, whatever you ask,
00:24:41.239 --> 00:24:41.940
Whatever you ask, it will be done.
00:24:42.007 --> 00:24:44.976
It will be done. and that's why the agreement
00:24:45.043 --> 00:24:45.944
And that's why the agreement factor is so important.
00:24:46.011 --> 00:24:49.314
Factor is so important. because if you're believing
00:24:49.381 --> 00:24:50.382
Because if you're believing for a healing and you
00:24:50.448 --> 00:24:52.584
For a healing and you go to somebody and say,
00:24:52.651 --> 00:24:53.618
Go to somebody and say, "i want you to pray
00:24:53.685 --> 00:24:54.286
"i want you to pray with me about healing,"
00:24:54.352 --> 00:24:55.186
With me about healing," and they go,
00:24:55.253 --> 00:24:55.654
And they go, "well, you know what
00:24:55.720 --> 00:24:56.288
"well, you know what the doctor said."
00:24:56.354 --> 00:24:58.924
The doctor said." then cut them
00:24:58.990 --> 00:24:59.891
Then cut them from your prayer team
00:24:59.958 --> 00:25:01.126
From your prayer team you're disqualified.
00:25:01.192 --> 00:25:01.993
You're disqualified. you can't be in my prayer life.
00:25:02.060 --> 00:25:03.328
[applause]
00:25:03.795 --> 00:25:09.301
"i want you to pray
00:25:09.467 --> 00:25:10.235
"i want you to pray with me about my son,
00:25:10.302 --> 00:25:11.536
With me about my son, my daughter,
00:25:11.603 --> 00:25:12.203
My daughter, my family member who's lost."
00:25:12.270 --> 00:25:13.805
My family member who's lost." "well, you know where
00:25:13.872 --> 00:25:14.706
"well, you know where they were last friday."
00:25:14.773 --> 00:25:15.874
They were last friday." uh-uh, you're fired.
00:25:15.941 --> 00:25:18.977
Uh-uh, you're fired. out.
00:25:19.044 --> 00:25:22.847
Out. because if you're believing,
00:25:22.914 --> 00:25:24.082
Because if you're believing, and they're doubting,
00:25:24.149 --> 00:25:25.083
And they're doubting, their doubt is canceling
00:25:25.150 --> 00:25:26.184
Their doubt is canceling out your belief.
00:25:26.251 --> 00:25:29.154
Out your belief. but if you come together
00:25:29.220 --> 00:25:29.988
But if you come together in agreement,
00:25:30.055 --> 00:25:30.589
In agreement, the bible says one of us
00:25:30.655 --> 00:25:31.790
The bible says one of us can put a thousand to flight,
00:25:31.856 --> 00:25:33.224
Can put a thousand to flight, two of us can put
00:25:33.291 --> 00:25:34.759
Two of us can put then thousand to flight.
00:25:34.826 --> 00:25:36.928
Then thousand to flight. exponentially, god pours out
00:25:36.995 --> 00:25:38.897
Exponentially, god pours out his power upon your life
00:25:38.964 --> 00:25:41.099
His power upon your life when you come together
00:25:41.166 --> 00:25:42.434
When you come together with the right person
00:25:42.500 --> 00:25:43.501
With the right person in agreement.
00:25:43.568 --> 00:25:44.302
Prayer is the
00:25:44.502 --> 00:25:45.470
Prayer is the most powerful force
00:25:45.537 --> 00:25:46.838
Most powerful force on the face of the earth.
00:25:46.905 --> 00:25:48.506
