How to Be Real with God in Your Prayers

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,280
Well, hey everyone, you're listening to the Curt Landry podcast where we're going to help

2
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:12,160
you discover your kingdom destiny.

3
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:16,760
My name is Darrell and sitting right beside me is Rabbi Curt Landry himself.

4
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:21,360
And in this episode, we're going to be discussing the topic of prayer.

5
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:25,300
We'll also provide techniques to help enhance your prayer time.

6
00:00:25,300 --> 00:00:30,800
But before we jump into this episode, Rabbi, have you been playing in the snow?

7
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,360
Oklahoma has been super, super cold.

8
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,680
Well, listen, it's going great.

9
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,200
I'm really excited about this podcast.

10
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:46,400
I got to tell you, I'm hoping and I'm praying that it blesses the people, blesses you.

11
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:55,640
But what it's doing to me, it's actually opening up almost like a portal of refreshing

12
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:57,600
in my heart.

13
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:03,960
Because what's happening is, is I'm going back in past testimonies when you ask questions.

14
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:09,880
And so the faithfulness of God, it's like I get to testify to my own self that the Lord

15
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:11,480
has been very faithful.

16
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:16,240
We're facing some really challenging times that are ahead of us.

17
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:21,560
And so what it's doing for me personally is it's building my faith, my own faith walk

18
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,520
and by sharing.

19
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:27,200
You know, Revelation says that they overcame him, Satan, by the blood of the Lamb and the

20
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:28,680
word of their testimony.

21
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,960
So I'm hoping and we'll see.

22
00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:36,700
In fact, if you want to respond and let us know if you have any questions, but I'd love

23
00:01:36,700 --> 00:01:40,240
to dive into any of your questions.

24
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,000
But let us know how it's affecting you.

25
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:48,920
For me, it's creating a very positive faith environment and atmosphere in my soul.

26
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:49,920
I love this.

27
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:51,680
Podcast at curtlandry.com.

28
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:53,440
That's where you can submit your questions.

29
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:59,000
Of course, we always ask you to put into the title and write something to the subject line

30
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:04,720
so we know what it's about and what's your thoughts and concerns, questions, anything

31
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:08,600
that you want Rabbi Kurt to discuss on this show.

32
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:16,680
So Rabbi, it's been a little bit since we've launched the podcast on the official day.

33
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,000
How do you feel like the success of it?

34
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,760
Or you know, I mean, like, are you pleased with it up to this point?

35
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:22,760
Oh, yeah.

36
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:24,860
In fact, I'm more than happy with it.

37
00:02:24,860 --> 00:02:30,380
You know, a lot of times, you know, I like to cook and I like to, you know, a big part

38
00:02:30,380 --> 00:02:34,480
of meals is presentation.

39
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:38,920
So when you prepare a meal and a table, it's not just like for one of the things I love

40
00:02:38,920 --> 00:02:42,600
to do in the holidays is I'll do a whole turkey.

41
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,920
And it's great to have the turkey and it's and the way I do it, it's, you know, injected

42
00:02:46,920 --> 00:02:49,540
with Irish butter and really good.

43
00:02:49,540 --> 00:02:52,760
But the key is, is how does it set up on the plate?

44
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:58,600
So you know, you have the you have the stuffing, you have some vegetables, you know, you have

45
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:03,640
cranberry sauce, you have you have the gravy and all those different things.

46
00:03:03,640 --> 00:03:10,180
So depending on how you present it is versus just cutting off a piece of turkey, putting

47
00:03:10,180 --> 00:03:14,160
on a paper plate and say here, it's the same meat you're eating.

48
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:21,360
But when the when the meat is surrounded by all these other, you know, say condiments

49
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:26,480
and things, then what happens is it actually enhances the flavor of the meat itself.

50
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:34,800
So I look at this podcast as really, you know, I do live streaming, I, you know, we publish

51
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,960
books, we do blogs, we do a lot of different things.

52
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,740
But I feel like this podcast is kind of the gravy.

53
00:03:40,740 --> 00:03:47,040
What it does is it just adds to what is already good, but it takes everything into a more

54
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:48,560
personal level.

55
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:54,720
And it allows people listen, I'm really big on this is because I always say, show me your

56
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,440
friends, and I'll show you your future.

57
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,820
But I can also say to this, show me who you're following.

58
00:04:00,820 --> 00:04:02,960
And I'll show you your future.

59
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:07,560
Just like I like to say, you know, show me what you're reading, and I can tell how fast

60
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,080
you're getting to the future.

61
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:14,120
So you've got to have good networking, you have to have you have to have really good

62
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:18,760
input coming into your life in order to have a higher quality of life.

63
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:27,120
So I think this podcast is the gravy of CLM's media plate of food that we serve to the world.

64
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:33,120
So this podcast, I guess we backtrack and kind of walk people into if they're not aware

65
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:38,920
and you know, they're listening to the Curt Landry podcast, and they want more right like

66
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,400
a more shows to listen to something else.

67
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,800
Well, the one new man network.

68
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:49,160
So the Curt Landry podcast, you're listening, you can see it.

69
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,440
This podcast is on the charisma podcast network.

70
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:58,560
But Rabbi something was really cool in the same breath of transitioning into 2024.

71
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,200
We actually launched the one new man network with our first podcast.

72
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:06,160
And that's got Megan Marcelino with generations at the table.

73
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,240
What do you think?

74
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:12,800
You know, just from maybe not an excitement level, but from like expectations wise, I

75
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,720
mean, like 24 was coming in, we had like a lot of moving different parts.

76
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:22,160
But you know, like where you at with maybe, I guess the one new man network.

77
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:26,520
And then it's funny because Megan's actually got the first show that launched on it.

78
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:31,080
It wasn't actually your show.

79
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:35,640
For me personally, yeah, to have our daughter.

80
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,880
I'm all about legacy.

81
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,720
I am in the passing the baton stage of my life.

82
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,040
It's my biggest joy.

83
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,160
So no, I'm overwhelmingly happy with it.

84
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:53,800
You know, today in the studio, she was in on her podcast, she was interviewing her mother.

85
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:58,920
And so one of the things that people need to understand, and she was interviewing her,

86
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:04,840
I believe I wasn't here, but I think she was talking to her about prayer now.

87
00:06:04,840 --> 00:06:06,680
And she was giving her testimony.

88
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,880
So you know, Christie was saved two and a half years before I got saved.

89
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:12,720
And the Lord told her, don't preach to him.

90
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:17,680
And praise God she didn't because listen, before I got saved, I was so anti Christian.

91
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:23,200
I mean, I was like Saul, I stoned him, I couldn't stand him.

92
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,480
I mean, it was terrible.

93
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:26,640
But praise God, Jesus came in.

94
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:31,080
That's probably why Jesus came literally into the bathtub because, you know, I was definitely

95
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,240
a Christian hater, not just dislike her.

96
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,800
I mean, I used to do imitations and made fun of him.

97
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,640
I used to imitate Jan Crouch on TVN.

98
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:43,920
No, I'm serious.

99
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:45,200
I did all this stuff like this.

100
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:46,760
Now, here's the other side of the story.

101
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:47,880
I don't want to drift too much.

102
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:53,360
But the first time I went on TVN, the first thing I had to do is go to the Crouches and

103
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,640
repent and I asked him for forgiveness.

104
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:59,360
I said, listen, I made fun of you, your hair and your big furniture.

105
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,520
And you've done so much good.

106
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,360
And listen, I was crying and they forgave me.

107
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:04,360
They laughed.

108
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:05,360
They loved me.

109
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,000
It's not, it's, listen, but that's where I was at.

110
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:12,000
But the thing is, so Megan interviews her mom, right?

111
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,040
And to say, well, how do you pray for somebody like that?

112
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:20,200
I mean, I was so arrogant and worldly and I mean, it was terrible.

113
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:25,420
Listen, I can tell you that in my family, I was the least likely to get saved.

114
00:07:25,420 --> 00:07:31,760
So she interviews Christy and Christy talks about how she prayed, didn't preach, but prayed

115
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:33,260
me into the kingdom.

116
00:07:33,260 --> 00:07:35,040
That podcast is priceless.

117
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,120
I can, I didn't hear it, but I do know the story.

118
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:42,880
And so as far as I'm concerned, listen, and I have, I even said this in Israel to the

119
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:43,880
soldiers.

120
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:45,880
I shared this testimony about her.

121
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:50,280
I said, you realize we wouldn't be standing here bringing you all this humanitarian aid

122
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:55,600
and support all these years if it wasn't for this Nana right here, because she's the one

123
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,000
that prayed me into the kingdom.

124
00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,440
And I mean, you could have heard a pin drop.

125
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,900
The soldiers are like, oh my gosh.

126
00:08:01,900 --> 00:08:05,360
And then when we got done speaking to them and stuff, they all came up and we're hugging

127
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,520
her and she was hugging them.

128
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,160
And so yeah, it's, it's the podcast.

129
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:11,160
That's a plot.

130
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:12,160
You can't preach that.

131
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:13,840
You can't get on a platform on a Friday night and do that.

132
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:14,840
You need this.

133
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:16,640
And so I'm, I'm thrilled.

134
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:25,200
And the other thing is, of course, listen, what Megan carries in the call, she carries,

135
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:29,020
she carries a lot of what we carry.

136
00:08:29,020 --> 00:08:31,740
She was raised in this.

137
00:08:31,740 --> 00:08:39,200
When we did Aliyah, the first return in the early nineties, when we were doing the airplanes,

138
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,000
the 747s.

139
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:48,080
And so all the apostolic leadership from Europe, from Germany, from Sweden, from Israel, all

140
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:54,000
those people, when that was those prayer meetings, those, those were in our house in Issaquah.

141
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,320
Those meetings took place in our home.

142
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,400
And so I can still see it.

143
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,440
Here's all these apostolic leaders.

144
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:07,700
We're talking about fulfilling Isaiah 60 and there's Megan and she's laying down.

145
00:09:07,700 --> 00:09:10,840
She's in the family room where we had the meetings, all the chairs set up.

146
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:15,920
And she's over there, you know, five years old with a coloring book, coloring why we're

147
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:21,180
sitting there discussing spiritual strategies, proclaiming and praying and doing all the

148
00:09:21,180 --> 00:09:22,180
stuff we do.

149
00:09:22,180 --> 00:09:25,960
And here's this five year old because listen, we only had one child.

150
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,840
We didn't have, we couldn't let people really know the meetings going on.

151
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:30,400
So I can't have a babysitter in the house.

152
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:31,400
I can't hear it.

153
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,400
So she, she was just raised in it.

154
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:38,800
And the thing that, that, you know, she talks about is that she learned so much just being

155
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:40,960
a fly on the wall.

156
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:42,440
And it's great.

157
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:48,360
And so when we do stuff now, like with our grandkids, I include them.

158
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:53,000
It's one of the things, it's one of the, I love, I love people bringing their children,

159
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:58,100
even if they cry or are noisy into House of David service.

160
00:09:58,100 --> 00:09:59,400
First of all, it does not affect me.

161
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:00,800
It doesn't like, Oh, they're crying.

162
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:02,560
Oh, they scream on it.

163
00:10:02,560 --> 00:10:08,560
Listen, I'm glad to have them in the house because I understand the power of the impartation.

164
00:10:08,560 --> 00:10:11,880
The other thing is people think like children, Oh, they're just little children.

165
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:13,400
They don't understand.

166
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:14,660
Let me tell you something.

167
00:10:14,660 --> 00:10:16,160
They understand.

168
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:23,440
Listen, when, when Joseph and, and Bella, but when Joseph was like two, two, three years

169
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:29,060
old, he would, he would quote me from what I said in a service phrases.

170
00:10:29,060 --> 00:10:30,680
So they're listening.

171
00:10:30,680 --> 00:10:34,880
And, and the thing is, even if they're not listening at Matthew's age, he's only a year

172
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:39,840
and a half, I want them in the service because what's happening is the word is seed is going

173
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:40,840
in their heart.

174
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:42,740
So I, I'm, I'm big on that.

175
00:10:42,740 --> 00:10:47,100
And that's a long way to answer your question, but no, I'm thrilled that Megan's podcast

176
00:10:47,100 --> 00:10:48,100
is going first.

177
00:10:48,100 --> 00:10:49,100
Yep.

178
00:10:49,100 --> 00:10:50,240
And you can find that just search.

179
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:56,680
If you're listening on Spotify, you're listening on Apple podcasts, or if you're over on curtlandry.com

180
00:10:56,680 --> 00:11:05,120
forward slash podcast, just search generations at the table with Megan Marcelino.

181
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,360
Just wherever you listen to podcasts, you can find that one.

182
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:13,760
So rabbi really good story about Ms. Christie and kind of praying you into it for what the

183
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,560
topic of this podcast is about.

184
00:11:16,560 --> 00:11:18,900
And it's just pretty simple.

185
00:11:18,900 --> 00:11:21,100
It's a base level.

186
00:11:21,100 --> 00:11:25,560
One thing I love that we do on the show, it's like one or two, maybe three things that people

187
00:11:25,560 --> 00:11:31,880
can go activate and physically do to kind of start these different attributes or things

188
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:32,880
that they want to accomplish.

189
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:38,160
You know, we've been talking a lot about goals to grow like tons of it.

190
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,720
And this is a big one for everyone.

191
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:45,180
And I think everybody's always looking for different techniques and something just to

192
00:11:45,180 --> 00:11:47,080
kind of keep it consistent.

193
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:52,560
But very simply put in the question, how do we pray?

194
00:11:52,560 --> 00:11:53,560
Or how to pray?

195
00:11:53,560 --> 00:11:59,420
I mean, like, what's the most efficient way that people listening can start or get better

196
00:11:59,420 --> 00:12:00,420
at it?

197
00:12:00,420 --> 00:12:01,420
Okay.

198
00:12:01,420 --> 00:12:08,120
First of all, many of you that follow us, or you've heard the term from me or Robert

199
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,840
Henderson or different ones called the courts of heaven.

200
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:17,840
And believe me, when we first started using that terminology, I mean, it flipped people

201
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:19,520
like, oh, the courts of heaven.

202
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:21,840
And how do we do the courts of heaven?

203
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,400
You know, it's like, oh, I'm not praying right.

204
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:28,200
I've been praying for 35 years and now I find out I actually didn't pray at all.

205
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:29,200
I wasted like 35 years.

206
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:30,200
What's happening?

207
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:31,200
Yeah.

208
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:32,760
And I'm going, no, you were in the courts of heaven.

209
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:38,140
It's just like a term to help you logistically in the spirit see something different.

210
00:12:38,140 --> 00:12:40,800
So listen, the disciples had the same thing.

211
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:46,280
If you go on Matthew chapter six, verse nine, they asked Jesus, they said, listen, how do

212
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:47,480
we pray?

213
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:51,720
So I'm just going to, I'm going to go real quickly just down the list here.

214
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:52,720
Okay.

215
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:53,720
All right.

216
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:54,720
Is that right?

217
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:55,720
Our father in heaven.

218
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:59,560
So your heaven, your father is in the courts of heaven.

219
00:12:59,560 --> 00:13:00,560
Okay.

220
00:13:00,560 --> 00:13:05,820
So, so, so if you're, if you're saying this prayer, listen, I was raised Catholic and,

221
00:13:05,820 --> 00:13:10,840
and I prayed this prayer a lot because when you go into the confessional, you know, uh,

222
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:14,840
we'd always have to, once a week we would go in there and get the confessional and you

223
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:19,360
confess your sins and the way they do it is like, okay, you say five Hail Marys and six

224
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,760
our fathers and, and 23 acts of contrition.

225
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:27,600
Well, mine was, you know, I was kind of, uh, an active sinner.

226
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:32,840
So, and, uh, uh, so anyway, I, I know our father who art in heaven.

227
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:37,960
Okay. I've prayed it about 4 billion 742 times before I was 12.

228
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:43,480
But anyway, uh, the point is, is that when you pray this prayer, our father, he is in

229
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:44,480
heaven.

230
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:45,480
Okay.

231
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:46,480
That's the first thing.

232
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:50,440
And the other word I want you to focus on is father, because when you go into the courts

233
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,100
of heaven, you go into the mercy courts.

234
00:13:52,100 --> 00:13:54,240
He is just judge heavenly father.

235
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,360
So father is a relationship.

236
00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:00,080
So you're going to your father, you're not going to somebody unjust.

237
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:07,240
And then you're saying yet, even though you're my father, ABBA, my daddy, but hollowed be

238
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:08,240
thy name.

239
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:12,960
So the, in two lines of the prayer, you're saying you're the father.

240
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,880
Yes, I'm, I'm your child.

241
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:16,880
I love you.

242
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:20,960
But at the same time, I'm Halloween, which means make holy or in Hebrew, Kaddosh your

243
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:21,960
name.

244
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,840
Then I immediately state what I want.

245
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:26,280
I want the result right up.

246
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:27,840
I love this.

247
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:29,120
Your kingdom come.

248
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:33,140
There will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

249
00:14:33,140 --> 00:14:36,160
So what is written in heaven, I want done on earth.

250
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:37,160
What earth?

251
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:41,260
Well, you are the temples of the most high God, your body.

252
00:14:41,260 --> 00:14:45,680
What is like, I always refer to a good friend of mine, David Dryling went on to be with

253
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:46,680
the Lord.

254
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:51,320
Um, he used to always, uh, when he would teach biblically, he'd always say, you're just

255
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:55,540
dusties because we're created from the dust of the earth.

256
00:14:55,540 --> 00:15:02,160
And uh, so what happens is you want what is written in God's kingdom done from heaven

257
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:03,440
and you want it on earth.

258
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:09,000
So right away you're going, if you think about the prayer, you're saying daddy in heaven,

259
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,040
I'm, I'm, I'm keeping holy your name.

260
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:15,860
I understand that all power and authority and all creativity of everything in the universe

261
00:15:15,860 --> 00:15:17,160
comes from you.

262
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:21,480
But what I need is I need what's written in your books and your desire for me.

263
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:24,140
I needed in my life now.

264
00:15:24,140 --> 00:15:26,520
And then you say, give us this day our daily bread.

265
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:30,000
Well, it's not talking about foot, just food.

266
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:31,800
What it is is bread.

267
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:36,820
Give us this day, all substance, body, soul and spirit so that I can be healthy.

268
00:15:36,820 --> 00:15:38,880
That's what that bread, that's what that means.

269
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:40,920
So then, so you ask for it.

270
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:47,200
And then what happens is you go into protocol to create an atmosphere so it survives.

271
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,660
You know, I used to, when I was younger, I had fish tanks, you know, sometimes I had

272
00:15:50,660 --> 00:15:56,920
five and six tanks and so if you think about, you just prayed, right?

273
00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:01,520
And what you've done and you go to your Lord in heaven and you say, okay, here's your fish.

274
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:06,680
You know, they put it, they take some water out of the tank that the fish came out of,

275
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:10,320
put it in a plastic bag, put some oxygen in it, seal it.

276
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,400
And then here you are walking with the fish.

277
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,680
So then they tell you, well, what happens is when you get that fish home, you put the

278
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:20,440
whole plastic bag in the water into the tank, let it adjust so that there's no temperature

279
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:23,120
shock and then you release the fish in it.

280
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:29,400
But what happens is the tank you release it into has to have a healthy pH and it has to

281
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:35,120
be a conducive atmosphere for that fish, whatever one that you brought home to survive, like

282
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:38,360
what other fish are in the tank, what kind of plants, et cetera.

283
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,420
Well, it's the same thing with prayer.

284
00:16:40,420 --> 00:16:44,080
You go into prayer and you say, okay, Lord, you're my father.

285
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:45,200
I hollow your name.

286
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:51,160
I want what you have in heaven and I want it to operate in my earthly, let's say earth

287
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:52,840
suit and in my life.

288
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,400
I want blessings to prosper me.

289
00:16:55,400 --> 00:17:00,640
And the Lord says, fine, but when you take the blessing home into your fish tank, you

290
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:02,900
need to first of all, clean the tank.

291
00:17:02,900 --> 00:17:09,240
You need to say, and forgive us our debt as we forgive our debtors and lead us not into

292
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:14,920
temptation but deliver us from the evil one for yours is the kingdom power and the glory

293
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:15,920
forever.

294
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:16,920
Amen.

295
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:22,120
So what he's saying is if I give you the fish, don't put it into a heart of sin.

296
00:17:22,120 --> 00:17:25,240
If I give you the fish, don't take it into a cold tank.

297
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,800
Don't put it into an overly heated tank with algae.

298
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,280
No, it's got to have the right pH.

299
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,880
If you do, then the fish will actually prosper and multiply.

300
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,060
Same thing with, same thing with prayer.

301
00:17:36,060 --> 00:17:39,240
Whatever you pray, you have to understand, forgive debt.

302
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:43,200
So it's basically forgive yourself, forgive God, forgive others.

303
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:47,920
Don't allow offense, sin and debt into your tank around your seed of your sin.

304
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:52,600
And then your sin will, your, your, sorry, your prayer requests will prosper.

305
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:55,760
That's about as basic as I can give it to you.

306
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:57,880
And we'll be right back.

307
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,280
It's a new year and a new you.

308
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:07,480

314
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,560
How do I walk in the spirit?

315
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,320
Or how do I do spiritual warfare?

316
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,680
Or how do I believe that I'm more than a conqueror?

317
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:48,920

be added on to us.

320

The fruit of the spirit is evident in his covenant.

321
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:05,200

326
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:35,080
our son in law, Paul Marcelino, his dad, Yolkena Marcelino helped to produce this book and

327
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:44,440
the whole purpose of this book, Jerusalem Rising, is to be able to bring visual evidence

328
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:51,360
that Jerusalem and Israel actually belongs to the children of the God of Abraham, Isaac

329
00:19:51,360 --> 00:19:59,000
and Jacob, that this is the land of Isaac and the miracle power.

330
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:05,560
They say that a picture is worth a thousand words and this book captures that.

331
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:11,600

Hey, one more thing.

338
00:20:40,380 --> 00:20:45,800
After this episode, I would love for you to go and download and listen to another podcast

339
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:51,960
on the One New Man Network and that's called Generations at the Table with Megan Marcelino.

340
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:56,760
This show is perfect for discovering how to grow your family and faith by knowing your

341
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:58,040
Jewish roots.

342
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:03,680
Megan breaks down all of her knowledge on how to unlock your family's kingdom destiny

343
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:05,560
by honoring Yeshua.

344
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:11,080
You can find her show on the One New Man Network on your favorite podcast app.

345
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:15,800
All right, now back to the show.

346
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:20,520
Okay, so all right, so you just broke it down basic.

347
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,240
I think that was pretty deep.

348
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:23,240
All right.

349
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:26,400
Now, see, that's the problem for me that was like, well, this is how it works.

350
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:27,400
I know, I know.

351
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:31,040
And like, I think that's why this podcast is going to add some different levels of value

352
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:35,560
because there's going to be a lot of people that are listening that they're tracking with

353
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:36,560
you.

354
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:37,560
Okay?

355
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:42,120
I'm thinking about the people that maybe just became Christians and they're just now trying

356
00:21:42,120 --> 00:21:47,160
to get comfortable doing this thing called praying, right?

357
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:52,920
So if you're talking to someone that is a, you know, think either first month or like

358
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:58,420
first year believer and like you're trying to help them how to figure this out, what

359
00:21:58,420 --> 00:22:01,400
instruction would you actually give them?

360
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,060
Okay, so that they know that I can relate.

361
00:22:04,060 --> 00:22:06,120
So I shared with you about with the Aliyah, okay?

362
00:22:06,120 --> 00:22:07,460
I got saved in 89.

363
00:22:07,460 --> 00:22:10,360
This was like a 90.

364
00:22:10,360 --> 00:22:18,280
And the leaders that are there are serious, the highest level apostolic leaders in the

365
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:20,160
world at this time.

366
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:21,160
Okay?

367
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:26,960
And they're in my house and I'm saved like six months.

368
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:33,020
And you know, and I can remember the first time they came in the house, they're all there.

369
00:22:33,020 --> 00:22:34,640
They all have their different accents.

370
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,240
One's German, one's Swedish, one's this.

371
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:37,720
Everyone said, I wonder who it is.

372
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:38,720
Listen, I'm not going to tell you.

373
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:39,720
So just get over it.

374
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:43,760
I'm just saying, just everyone would know who they are.

375
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:47,120
So please don't send those questions to podcasts at CurlEdger.com.

376
00:22:47,120 --> 00:22:49,200
No, it doesn't matter.

377
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:55,800
The point is you have all these like, you know, generals for real in the Lord.

378
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:57,560
They've written tons of books and stuff.

379
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:01,600
And then here's this idiot that's been saved six months, you know, that's coming out of

380
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,840
the world, which is me.

381
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:08,440
And I'm answering your question to set it up because then what they say is they say

382
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:14,120
to me, well, Kurt, this is your home.

383
00:23:14,120 --> 00:23:16,340
You will start us off in prayer.

384
00:23:16,340 --> 00:23:23,120
And I'm going like, okay, I'll pray in just a minute after I throw up.

385
00:23:23,120 --> 00:23:25,760
You know, it's like, are you kidding me?

386
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:31,640
I'm here with like all these people that have written books on spiritual warfare and prayer

387
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,600
and all this, and they're wanting me to pray.

388
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:36,880
And the other thing, here's the thing is I'm brand new to the Lord.

389
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:38,240
I don't know how to pray.

390
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:40,480
I don't even know.

391
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:45,560
But it didn't matter because what was happening is God made me the gatekeeper in that house.

392
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:46,960
It was my home.

393
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:48,660
So they wanted me to bless them.

394
00:23:48,660 --> 00:23:50,720
And that's what I did.

395
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:52,980
So here's the thing about prayer.

396
00:23:52,980 --> 00:23:55,240
If you've never prayed before, it's basic.

397
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:57,080
Okay, let's say you need something.

398
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,360
Let's say you're sick, okay?

399
00:23:59,360 --> 00:24:01,960
And you need to get healing, okay?

400
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:03,680
And you're brand new to the Lord.

401
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:12,920
All you have to do is go, Father God, in Jesus' name, I'm sick.

402
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:17,000
And I know you know that, but I really need a touch.

403
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,600
What you're doing, now you're asking, I need you to heal me.

404
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,480
And it'd be great if you quoted, buy a stripe, you're healed, but you don't have to even

405
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:24,480
do that.

406
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:28,400
All you have to do is say, listen, I need a touch.

407
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:29,400
I'm sick.

408
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:30,480
I need your help.

409
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:34,040
Would you please heal and touch my body in Jesus' name?

410
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:35,340
That's it.

411
00:24:35,340 --> 00:24:36,920
That's all you have to do.

412
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,580
Because what happens is the Lord is weighing out the heart.

413
00:24:39,580 --> 00:24:46,120
The Lord is also measuring each word relationally, no different than the way I interact with

414
00:24:46,120 --> 00:24:52,920
Matthew at a year and a half, even the way I interact with the eight-year-old with Bella.

415
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:57,000
The conversations are very different.

416
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,460
And if I'm talking to you, the conversations are different.

417
00:25:00,460 --> 00:25:03,520
So give yourself some grace when you pray.

418
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:08,020
If I could say one thing, it's conversation.

419
00:25:08,020 --> 00:25:09,720
First of all, He already knows what you need.

420
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:10,720
He knows what you want.

421
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:11,720
He knows everything.

422
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:12,720
He's omnipotent.

423
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:14,480
That's what that means.

424
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:22,640
But the key is, don't try to imitate other people's prayer.

425
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:26,280
And if you go into real big prayer meetings, you'll see it.

426
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:27,280
You'll see the culture.

427
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:28,880
You've been around it.

428
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:34,360
And if you're in one culture, and listen, I so want to do my imitation of one, but then

429
00:25:34,360 --> 00:25:35,860
that would be disrespectful.

430
00:25:35,860 --> 00:25:36,860
But it's very funny.

431
00:25:36,860 --> 00:25:37,860
You're going to miss out on it.

432
00:25:37,860 --> 00:25:39,560
I won't do it.

433
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:45,920
But what happens is every culture has their prayer, the way they pray.

434
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:46,920
It's like, oh, God.

435
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:47,920
You're doing it.

436
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:48,920
You can just keep going.

437
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:49,920
No, no, I don't want to keep going.

438
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:50,920
I don't want to keep going.

439
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:51,920
Keep going.

440
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:52,920
You're starting.

441
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:53,920
No.

442
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:54,920
It's like, listen, you don't.

443
00:25:54,920 --> 00:26:01,680
It's not like you have to have the holy voice, and then God goes, oh, my gosh, it's the holy

444
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:02,680
voice.

445
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:04,040
I better answer this one.

446
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,040
That's not how this works.

447
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,480
So you just really just need to talk to them.

448
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:11,480
You just need...

449
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:15,960
I'll tell you when the first time I got my prayer answered.

450
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:16,960
You want me to share that?

451
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:17,960
Yeah.

452
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:19,320
First prayer ever I know answered.

453
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:20,880
Okay.

454
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:22,920
I was in fifth grade.

455
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:29,400
I went to St. Jerome's Catholic Church, very strict.

456
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:31,760
Did you go to Catholic boy school too?

457
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,520
No, no, it was boys and girls.

458
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:36,960
But it was in Los Angeles, and I was blessed.

459
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:40,480
It was one of the highest curriculum schools in 904.5.

460
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:43,440
It's actually in Los Angeles.

461
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,160
And literally, everybody that...

462
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,260
People sent their kids there.

463
00:26:48,260 --> 00:26:49,760
Even non-Catholics went.

464
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:53,040
It was very high tuition at the time, and it's even worse now.

465
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:59,200
But anyway, it was a very good school, but it was run by the priest and the nuns, and

466
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:00,720
it was very strict.

467
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:04,440
I mean, the whole thing, the paddling, the rulers on the knuckles, the whole thing.

468
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:09,000
Listen, I'm thankful for it now, but when I was going through it, it was kind of difficult.

469
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:14,520
But what my father that raised me, Ray Landry, my dad, what he did was he said, listen, you

470
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:20,040
get a report card and you're gonna have a grade anywhere from an A plus down to an F,

471
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:23,520
and then off to the side, it had effort.

472
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:30,320
And the way Ray did it, I wouldn't do it this way, but what he did was, listen, the effort

473
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,800
side of it is your score on the effort.

474
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:37,800
If you apply yourself and you get a D, I don't care.

475
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:43,760
But if you don't apply yourself and you even get a B and you should have got an A, you're

476
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:47,560
gonna get it.

477
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:52,560
And my parents were strict as well.

478
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:53,880
So this was going down.

479
00:27:53,880 --> 00:28:01,080
I was in fifth grade and I got my first F, and it was F-U-U.

480
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:02,880
So it was unsatisfactory.

481
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:03,880
Okay.

482
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:04,880
Yeah.

483
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:09,080
And we're not going there.

484
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:12,080
So I got, so that was it.

485
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,000
So anyway, I come home from school, right?

486
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:15,000
School gets out at three o'clock.

487
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,400
By the time I walk home, I'm at my house.

488
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,440
I go into my bedroom, I lay on the bed.

489
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:21,480
Okay, here we go.

490
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:23,720
I can't help it.

491
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:24,720
I didn't make it.

492
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:25,720
I'm just gonna reset here for a second.

493
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,800
Listen, I wasn't the one that did the report card.

494
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:30,360
That's what they gave you.

495
00:28:30,360 --> 00:28:31,960
So anyway, it was-

496
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:33,120
I'm just gonna move my mic.

497
00:28:33,120 --> 00:28:34,120
Just keep going.

498
00:28:34,120 --> 00:28:35,120
Yeah, just keep moving.

499
00:28:35,120 --> 00:28:36,120
You see.

500
00:28:36,120 --> 00:28:37,920
So here's the key.

501
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,360
I know I'm gonna get it.

502
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:42,080
I mean, I'm getting the belt.

503
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:43,800
I mean, I've lost it, right?

504
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:47,080
Not only did I fail at this subject, I don't even remember what it was.

505
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:48,080
Doesn't matter.

506
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:49,800
But I was unsatisfactory.

507
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:50,800
Okay.

508
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,920
And so I didn't even put effort to it.

509
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:55,640
So I knew I was gonna get it.

510
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:58,000
So anyway, so I get home about 3.30.

511
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,360
I literally am laying on the bed in my room.

512
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:02,920
I can see myself, and I'm travailing crying.

513
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:04,100
I'm just crying.

514
00:29:04,100 --> 00:29:05,440
And I'm crying out to God.

515
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:08,160
Listen, I'm not saved, but I'm crying out to God.

516
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,840
Don't let him kill me.

517
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:12,480
I'm screaming it out.

518
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:16,000
So anyway, well, my dad always got home at five o'clock.

519
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:17,000
That was the promise.

520
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,800
Five o'clock every day was it.

521
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:23,200
And so of course he comes home and my mom's there.

522
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:26,280
And she says, well, Curtis got his report card.

523
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:27,400
Everyone knows it's report card day.

524
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:28,400
You're coming home.

525
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:29,400
Of course, there's my sister.

526
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:30,400
She gets her report card.

527
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:33,400
She was all A's.

528
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:34,600
Just extraordinary.

529
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:36,720
So she's over there just like that.

530
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:40,000
And here's poor Curtis with the first F in the family.

531
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:41,880
And so now here we go.

532
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:46,760
So my dad came in, and I'm in there, and I'm a wreck.

533
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:50,120
I've been crying.

534
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:51,600
And I cried out to God and prayed.

535
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:52,600
He comes in.

536
00:29:52,600 --> 00:30:00,440
He said, well, Curtis, your mom told me what happened, that you got an F and it was unsatisfactory,

537
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:01,440
no effort.

538
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:06,000
And he says, and you know, I told you about the F. You know our agreement.

539
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:11,280
But he says, I'm not going to spank you.

540
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:15,720
And he says, the reason I'm not going to spank you is because it's quite apparent by looking

541
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:21,440
at you that you're not ever going to do this again.

542
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:24,200
So what you've been through this afternoon, I think is enough.

543
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:29,620
And what he said, he goes, and the main thing that I want you to do is I want you to understand

544
00:30:29,620 --> 00:30:34,320
that when I ask you to do something that you do it, and you don't have to do it because

545
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:39,920
of a spanking, I think by what you've done that you're sorry, and it won't happen again.

546
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:41,920
And I said, yes, sir, it won't happen again.

547
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,240
So that was my very first prayer that was answered.

548
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:46,760
And I also want to tell you, it never happened again.

549
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:49,320
So that was my little experiment.

550
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:50,600
I was thinking about asking.

551
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:55,520
Yeah, no, it didn't happen again.

552
00:30:55,520 --> 00:31:00,880
But my point is that my prayer was answered from my Heavenly Father and my Earthly Father,

553
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:04,960
Master Marine Sergeant, two landings, Guadalcanal, Golden Gull Boxer.

554
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:10,520
This is a tough guy.

555
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:14,880
He was very tender with that moment.

556
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,240
And I'll share one other.

557
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:19,460
Can I share another testimony about my dad?

558
00:31:19,460 --> 00:31:22,420
And this is with prayer.

559
00:31:22,420 --> 00:31:29,500
So years later, my dad, he has a heart attack.

560
00:31:29,500 --> 00:31:30,500
And we lived in Seattle.

561
00:31:30,500 --> 00:31:32,200
We lived in Oregon.

562
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:37,840
And so they call us, your dad's in the hospital, we drive down.

563
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:43,680
And so we come, Megan's little, we've got the big balloon, get well and all this stuff.

564
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:49,280
We come in and Christy's there and Ray's in there.

565
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:54,260
And at that time, he's with his, this would be his second wife because my mother died.

566
00:31:54,260 --> 00:31:56,060
And so they're in there.

567
00:31:56,060 --> 00:32:03,380
And he's in there, he says, listen, he asked everybody, they visited for about five or

568
00:32:03,380 --> 00:32:05,160
10 minutes, that was it.

569
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:07,920
And he asked all the girls, he said, would you guys leave?

570
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:13,000
He said, I just need to spend a little bit of time with Curtis, with my son.

571
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:14,000
Can I do that?

572
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:15,000
He says, yeah.

573
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:16,000
And everyone said, yeah.

574
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:17,000
And it was kind of weird.

575
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:18,000
He's not like that.

576
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:19,000
It was weird.

577
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:25,520
So anyway, I'm sitting there and our relationship is not real close.

578
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,520
He never told me he loved me, even to the day he died.

579
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:33,160
But because of coming out of World War II and who he was, that culture didn't do that.

580
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:34,160
But I knew he loved me.

581
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:37,080
I knew he loved me because of the way his actions.

582
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,600
So meanwhile, he's not saved at this time.

583
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:41,280
He got saved later.

584
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:49,220
But I'm a Jesus freak and he's around me and he's always hearing about, well, Curtis went

585
00:32:49,220 --> 00:32:52,120
and prayed for this one and there was a miracle.

586
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:59,520
At the time, his fiancees had a granddaughter that was born and she was in Children's Hospital

587
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:03,320
in Portland, Oregon, and she was going to die.

588
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:09,520
And they asked us to come down and we took her and she's hooked up to all these machines

589
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:10,520
and stuff.

590
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:12,520
And I still asked, I asked, I said, can I hold her?

591
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:15,640
And everyone was going, I'm not sure about that.

592
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:17,080
And they said, OK, anyway, they let me hold her.

593
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:19,520
I hold her and I prayed for and the Lord healed her.

594
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:20,520
So he knows this.

595
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:22,100
He knows that I'm carrying this gift.

596
00:33:22,100 --> 00:33:24,120
So here's this wacko son that was this.

597
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:29,560
And now he's the Jesus freak with the healing anointing.

598
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:35,760
And so he got everybody out and he said to me, he said, listen, he goes, he goes, I'm

599
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:37,000
afraid to die.

600
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:40,100
I don't want to die.

601
00:33:40,100 --> 00:33:43,320
And he says, and I'm so tired and I need to sleep.

602
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:46,500
And he says, and you have so much faith.

603
00:33:46,500 --> 00:33:51,240
And he says, you know, he says, Curtis, I don't know where you get it.

604
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:53,640
He says, you didn't get it from me.

605
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:56,780
I mean, we weren't we weren't religious, even though I went to Catholic school.

606
00:33:56,780 --> 00:33:59,120
We were not a religious family.

607
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:01,440
And he says, I don't know where you get it.

608
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:02,440
He says, you didn't get it for me.

609
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:05,120
And I said, no, yes, I did get it from you.

610
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:08,560
He said, no, he says, I'm not religious.

611
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:16,380
And I said, when you said you were going to bless me, you always bless me.

612
00:34:16,380 --> 00:34:19,820
When you said we're getting a new swing set, we got the swing set.

613
00:34:19,820 --> 00:34:23,420
When you said we're putting in a swimming pool, you put in the swimming pool.

614
00:34:23,420 --> 00:34:27,080
When you said that we're going to Disneyland, we went to Disneyland.

615
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:30,160
When you said you would spank me if I did this, you spank me.

616
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:33,520
So what happens is you were absolutely consistent.

617
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:39,280
And I realize now that as a Christian, having that consistency in the parenting was crucial

618
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:44,320
when I made the transition from trying to trust in the flesh to trusting in the Spirit,

619
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:45,520
somebody I can't see.

620
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:50,320
So I said, really, the reason I can trust Heavenly Father, my God, through Jesus, is

621
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:58,080
because of your consistency, it laid a good foundation for me to trust in my Father.

622
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:01,040
And he just said, wow.

623
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:04,000
He said, listen, I'm so tired, I need to sleep.

624
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:05,560
He said, and he's not lying.

625
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:08,240
Man, this is a man's man, you know.

626
00:35:08,240 --> 00:35:12,260
And he took his bear claw-sized hand, you know.

627
00:35:12,260 --> 00:35:15,300
This is a square jaw, thick neck Marine.

628
00:35:15,300 --> 00:35:16,300
Put his hand in my hand.

629
00:35:16,300 --> 00:35:19,720
And he said, would you hold my hand so I could go to sleep?

630
00:35:19,720 --> 00:35:28,280
Because he says, if I know you're here, I'll be able to sleep.

631
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:30,620
So I'm holding his hand.

632
00:35:30,620 --> 00:35:33,160
He goes to sleep.

633
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:39,440
And I didn't want to scare him, but I told the Lord, I said, Father God.

634
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:41,220
So this is a prayer thing.

635
00:35:41,220 --> 00:35:42,400
This is my prayer.

636
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:45,760
Father God, I need a favor.

637
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:51,360
I need a favor.

638
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:55,280
This man wasn't responsible for me.

639
00:35:55,280 --> 00:36:01,720
He came into an orphanage, took responsibility, and raised me.

640
00:36:01,720 --> 00:36:04,300
Didn't have to do it.

641
00:36:04,300 --> 00:36:08,120
He protected, took care of me, fed me, housed me.

642
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:10,080
He did everything for me.

643
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:15,360
And now he needs not only to sleep, but I said, would you heal him?

644
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:18,900
Because I said, Father, and this is the prayer.

645
00:36:18,900 --> 00:36:23,420
If you heal him, he'll know you're real and he'll come to you and then we'll be in heaven

646
00:36:23,420 --> 00:36:26,280
together when he does die.

647
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:29,480
That was my prayer, in Jesus' name.

648
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:30,480
So he falls asleep.

649
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:35,100
I put his hand back over on his tummy and I slip out of the room.

650
00:36:35,100 --> 00:36:39,080
That night, he has another heart attack.

651
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:41,400
And the heart attack he has is in the medical records.

652
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,880
It's called a mother nature bypass.

653
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:50,840
So what happens is the heart attack actually blast open where the blockage was.

654
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:57,200
The next day he left the hospital, he was totally healed.

655
00:36:57,200 --> 00:37:00,240
That's pretty wild.

656
00:37:00,240 --> 00:37:03,160
And then he got saved.

657
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:06,980
And he was saved for probably about six or seven years.

658
00:37:06,980 --> 00:37:10,160
And then the favorite thing that he liked to do was to go to Denny's.

659
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:14,640
He was a very simple man.

660
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:18,080
He used to always say to me, Curtis, I don't get it because I'm a foodie.

661
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:23,320
He said, Curtis, you love to eat and I eat to live.

662
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:28,420
But his favorite meal was to go to Denny's and get a Grand Slam breakfast.

663
00:37:28,420 --> 00:37:34,120
So one morning he went to breakfast and eaten at Denny's and was having his favorite meal

664
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:37,600
at his favorite Denny's right there near his house in Salem, Oregon.

665
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:40,780
And he quietly passed away right there in the restaurant.

666
00:37:40,780 --> 00:37:48,280
And I had the honor and the privilege of doing his funeral and being able to tell the family

667
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:49,360
that he was saved.

668
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:54,280
His name was in the book and we'll all see him again.

669
00:37:54,280 --> 00:38:01,020
So the whole story of it was a blessing because the Lord told me, he said years ago to Christy

670
00:38:01,020 --> 00:38:05,220
and I, when we went into full-time ministry doing all the crazy stuff with Israel, which

671
00:38:05,220 --> 00:38:10,460
believe me, I can't tell you the pressure of it.

672
00:38:10,460 --> 00:38:17,520
But did you ever tell him about that moment in that prayer in Oregon at the hospital?

673
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:19,520
Did I ever talk to him about it?

674
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:20,520
No.

675
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:21,520
No, I didn't.

676
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:24,640
He knew.

677
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:30,280
He was a very, very private man and a very, very humble man.

678
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:37,760
He was really a war hero with what he did in World War II.

679
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:40,840
But he was one of the ones that never talked about it.

680
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:45,180
So he talked about it toward the end of his life, what happened in the war, and that helped

681
00:38:45,180 --> 00:38:47,700
me to understand him a little better.

682
00:38:47,700 --> 00:38:54,280
But here's the key is that all this stuff about prayer, you just need to ask the Lord.

683
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:59,440
So I'm in fifth grade, I cry out to God, he answers my prayer.

684
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:02,200
I don't know what age I was when I prayed with my dad.

685
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:09,840
It was probably 50-ish, 40, 50, and he healed them.

686
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:18,600
And I could go through and I prayed for his fiance's granddaughter.

687
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:22,200
And it was really different because the Lord said, I want you to hold her and take her

688
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:26,240
out of the room you're in and just pray for her.

689
00:39:26,240 --> 00:39:27,240
And I did.

690
00:39:27,240 --> 00:39:28,460
And the Lord miraculously healed her.

691
00:39:28,460 --> 00:39:32,520
So all these things are people know this in the family.

692
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:38,980
So what happened is when Christi and I said, we're going to make a commitment to Holy

693
00:39:38,980 --> 00:39:41,080
Follow after you and do this whole Israel thing.

694
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:42,080
Now, this is in the 90s.

695
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:46,440
This is, listen, it's not like now where it's kind of fashionable to stand with Israel.

696
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:49,880
I mean, we were called everything under the sun.

697
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:55,120
But the Lord said, if you take care of my work, I'll take care of all of yours.

698
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:59,200
Meaning that with Christi's prayer, the first person that got saved was me.

699
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:01,380
And our whole family is not saved.

700
00:40:01,380 --> 00:40:05,400
And our whole family also is self-employed, entrepreneurial people, most of them pretty

701
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:09,040
well off, but yet good people, good, nice people.

702
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:14,600
And those are the hardest people to lead to the Lord because Christi's dad is like, okay,

703
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:15,600
I'm charitable.

704
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:16,600
I take care of other people.

705
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:17,600
I'm nice.

706
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:18,760
That should be good enough.

707
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:21,600
If God doesn't want a nice person, then he doesn't want me.

708
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:24,880
I'll just go to hell, that kind of crazy talk.

709
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:34,880
In our family, Christi's mom and dad, my adoptive and biological parents all came to the Lord.

710
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:38,320
All the cousins, everyone.

711
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:41,040
And now Christi and I are the, we're the patriarchs now.

712
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:45,900
We're the last here, but the Lord saved everyone.

713
00:40:45,900 --> 00:40:49,340
And so I really think it was because of Christi's prayer.

714
00:40:49,340 --> 00:40:52,000
And I think our obedience to answer the call.

715
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:58,560
And so sometimes you just have to pray, Lord, give me strength that as I start to walk out

716
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:02,920
in the Lord, you know, and everybody's family.

717
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:07,120
When you get radically saved, I mean, where you and Morgan came from out of that background

718
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:15,580
into this, you've got to be able to have the strength to trust that they're going to misunderstand.

719
00:41:15,580 --> 00:41:20,760
Where I get my strength for the compassion for it is I remember the unsaved Kurt who

720
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:28,560
was like Saul making fun of the Jan Crouches and the stuff.

721
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:30,360
And of course, I'm not that now.

722
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:35,280
So what happens is the people who come against you, that's why the scripture says in Romans,

723
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:42,540
it says, bless those who curse you because you used to curse people.

724
00:41:42,540 --> 00:41:50,680
So give them patience before they wake up and pray for that patience so that they can

725
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:53,360
until they come into the light.

726
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:58,240
Man, that's good stuff, Rabbi.

733
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:38,520
Rabbi, as we get ready to wrap up this episode, one big thing I really picked away that you

734
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:44,840
gave me this super deep complex courts of heaven and you gave it to me strong and then

735
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:50,140
you gave it to me super simple for other people that are definitely going to be in different

736
00:42:50,140 --> 00:42:54,000
walks of their faith that need practical and relational experience.

737
00:42:54,000 --> 00:43:00,920
But I think the big thing that I took away from it is that the simplicity of prayer is

738
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:02,240
a relational thing.

739
00:43:02,240 --> 00:43:06,240
It's a relationship and it's much like salvation.

740
00:43:06,240 --> 00:43:12,680
I just kept hearing notes of relationship, relational.

741
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:18,200
Because even when you're little and you're trying to get out of, I guess getting your

742
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:24,800
butt whooped and really getting in trouble, and then your progression as you got older,

743
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:30,880
and then you met Miss Christy and then you're at the hospital in Oregon and now you're sitting

744
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:31,880
here.

745
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:37,400
It's a progression of the relational side, the relationship with the Father that I'm

746
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:40,320
really starting to hear notes of.

747
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:46,560
Listen, it's everything is relationship.

748
00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:52,720
So at CLM, we have a lot of employees.

749
00:43:52,720 --> 00:43:56,200
And to be honest with you, I'm not one of these people like they say, well, I have all

750
00:43:56,200 --> 00:44:00,080
these kids and I love them all the same.

751
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:03,840
You may love your children all the same, but you interact with all of them based, if you're

752
00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:07,780
really attentive, you're going to interact with them in different personality.

753
00:44:07,780 --> 00:44:12,220
So with all the employees here, I interact with each one into where I think will be most

754
00:44:12,220 --> 00:44:15,840
effective to help them understand what I'm trying to communicate.

755
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:16,840
So I don't treat everybody.

756
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:17,840
It's not like the same thing.

757
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:19,120
It's not cookie cut.

758
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:28,000
And if I can share with people in prayer, don't become a chameleon or a robot to the

759
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:31,500
culture of how you pray.

760
00:44:31,500 --> 00:44:33,440
Just be real with God.

761
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:35,340
You have to be.

762
00:44:35,340 --> 00:44:41,220
And people listen, and the other thing is, if you're a person who prays a lot and God

763
00:44:41,220 --> 00:44:43,280
answers the prayer, they're going to come to you.

764
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:46,420
I'll close with this one testimony.

765
00:44:46,420 --> 00:44:53,820
So Paul and I, my son-in-law, we go to Israel and we're working on some business stuff we

766
00:44:53,820 --> 00:44:54,820
do there.

767
00:44:54,820 --> 00:45:02,720
So we go into a meeting and there's high level Knesset members and the ones we're meeting

768
00:45:02,720 --> 00:45:03,720
with are Orthodox.

769
00:45:03,720 --> 00:45:08,000
So these are Orthodox Jewish guys, you know, the curl, the black suit, the big hats, the

770
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:09,440
whole thing.

771
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:14,400
And one of them couldn't come to the meeting because he had had a bypass surgery, a heart

772
00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:18,080
attack and triple bypass.

773
00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:19,800
And so I said, okay, well, it's no big deal.

774
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:22,280
I said, listen, we can meet with them the next time we come.

775
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:26,400
What we were doing was a preliminary step and it was going to take three trips anyway.

776
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:28,720
So this was the first trip.

777
00:45:28,720 --> 00:45:33,520
And the other Orthodox guy said, oh no, he said, Rabbi, this other Rabbi, he says he

778
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:35,160
has to meet with you.

779
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:36,160
And I said, no, we can do it.

780
00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:38,620
Listen, he just had a bypass three days ago.

781
00:45:38,620 --> 00:45:40,680
He said, no, he wants to meet with you.

782
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:42,160
I said, no, please, please.

783
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:46,120
He said to me, he said, Rabbi, call me Rabbi.

784
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:49,840
He said, he wants you to pray for him.

785
00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:54,520
This is an Orthodox Rabbi and knows that I'm the Jesus guy.

786
00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:55,760
And I said, okay.

787
00:45:55,760 --> 00:46:00,920
So we went to a hotel where we know the manager and, you know, they have those private suites

788
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:05,280
on the upstairs.

789
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:08,480
And what they did is they sent security in there and blocked that off.

790
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:16,440
And this Knesset Rabbi comes in and he still got the little stickers from, you know, where

791
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:19,600
they do all the heart monitoring and stuff.

792
00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:26,480
So he came out from his house there and he doesn't speak any English, total Hebrew.

793
00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:31,320
I have never met him before, but I had prayed for a friend of his that had cancer, was supposed

794
00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:33,400
to die and the Lord healed him.

795
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:37,000
And so he said, he evidently said to him, he says, listen, we're meeting with Paul and

796
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:38,000
Kurt.

797
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:39,240
He said, make sure you have Kurt pray for you.

798
00:46:39,240 --> 00:46:40,240
And he didn't come.

799
00:46:40,240 --> 00:46:43,360
So anyway, I'm just saying, so I go in and I had to explain to him, I said, listen, I'm

800
00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:44,360
not a healer.

801
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:45,360
Okay.

802
00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:46,360
It's not me.

803
00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:47,360
Okay.

804
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:49,320
I said, I have a gift, but the gift is from the Lord, from Yeshua.

805
00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:52,240
So I said, when I pray, I have to pray for you and shoe his name because it's not me.

806
00:46:52,240 --> 00:46:55,560
I mean, I'm not like the gift doesn't belong to me.

807
00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:56,880
It flows through me.

808
00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:57,880
He says, all right.

809
00:46:57,880 --> 00:46:58,880
So he's good with that.

810
00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:02,560
And they translate or translates and Paul speaks Hebrew and he's translating to them.

811
00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:03,560
And I'll never forget it.

812
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:05,720
Paul, I'll tell you, he unbuttons his shirt.

813
00:47:05,720 --> 00:47:07,580
This is an Orthodox Jewish guy.

814
00:47:07,580 --> 00:47:11,600
He's got the stickers on there and he wants me to put my hand in on his heart.

815
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:12,600
And I do.

816
00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:16,600
And man, I felt the heat coming through my hand and I prayed for a Lord, you heal him

817
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:19,000
in Yeshua's name because he was afraid.

818
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:22,880
And I prayed for him the peace of God, the shalom comes and the Lord healed.

819
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:25,280
So there you go.

820
00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:27,440
So and that's why you've been with us this morning.

821
00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:28,900
People say, why do you?

822
00:47:28,900 --> 00:47:30,620
It's not just the humanitarian aid.

823
00:47:30,620 --> 00:47:34,860
They sense that this person prays and gets results.

824
00:47:34,860 --> 00:47:37,240
And if I could say anything, the results come.

825
00:47:37,240 --> 00:47:38,240
It's not about me.

826
00:47:38,240 --> 00:47:40,120
I'm not trying to exalt my ministry.

827
00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:41,760
Listen, it's just a calling.

828
00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:45,440
But my whole walk with the Lord has been fueled by relationship.

829
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:46,760
It's just relationship.

830
00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:52,000
And the other thing is I gave up years ago trying to explain my relationship with Jesus

831
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:55,000
and the Lord to people because it's personal.

832
00:47:55,000 --> 00:48:02,720
It would be, I don't think as married couples, I don't think you should ever discuss intimacy

833
00:48:02,720 --> 00:48:03,720
with anyone.

834
00:48:03,720 --> 00:48:05,920
It's between you and your spouse.

835
00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:06,920
It's holy.

836
00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:07,920
It's a gift.

837
00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:11,440
I don't think you should ever talk about it, even with girls, with girls, guys, it should

838
00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:12,440
be off.

839
00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:13,440
It should be off limits.

840
00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:17,280
And I think some of the stuff that you talk to God about should be off limits as well.

841
00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:19,120
I think it has to remain special.

842
00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:20,120
And then it does.

843
00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:24,040
So when you get into that situation, whether you're in fifth grade and you don't want to

844
00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:29,080
get a whooping or you need somebody to be healed, you need to be able to go in there

845
00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:35,480
and like I said and say, Lord, I need a favor.

846
00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:36,480
And He gave it to me.

847
00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:39,480
That's good stuff.

848
00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:40,480
Wow.

849
00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:42,920
Podcast to curtlandrew.com.

850
00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:48,360
If you've got questions, you've got topics that you'd like us to talk about.

851
00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:53,760
Rabbi, we'll just add them up if we get a ton of the same topics.

852
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:58,800
I guess that'll probably tell us what people want extra information about and kind of have

853
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:00,480
you speak into it.

854
00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:05,680
So again, you can send that over a podcast at curtlandrew.com.

855
00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:10,840
Also if you love this episode, if it helped you, if you've made it to the deep end, do

856
00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:11,840
one more thing.

857
00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:18,600
Subscribe, follow, download this podcast, leave it a review, give it some stars.

858
00:49:18,600 --> 00:49:20,400
That would help out a ton.

859
00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:21,840
All right, Rabbi.

860
00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:24,520
That's going to do it for this episode.

861
00:49:24,520 --> 00:49:25,960
You have a good rest of the day.

862
00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:28,160
You have a good weekend and we'll see you next time.

863
00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:29,160
All right.

864
00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:30,160
Thank you, Darrell.

865
00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:53,120
Good night.
