Transcript
1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,000
The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.
2
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:12,000
God will put the prayer in your heart to pray so that he can answer it.
3
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:17,000
It goes into the hearts of the people, doesn't return void, it produces results.
4
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:21,000
Of what we're called to be and called to do.
5
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:25,000
That's why it's not a time for you to grow weary.
6
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,000
It's not a time for you to draw back.
7
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,000
It's not a time for you to retire.
8
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,000
It's a time for you to refire.
9
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:38,000
Oh, but I'm old, I'm in aid, I'm this, I'm that.
10
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:42,000
No, no, no, no, no. God has need of you in this hour.
11
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:46,000
You're the mothers, you're the fathers, you're the grandparents.
12
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,000
You hold the key in your hands.
13
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,000
It's time. We've got to keep doing.
14
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:57,000
I can't, I can't retire. It's not a time to retire, my friends.
15
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:02,000
And so I went into this meeting and I'm just like, Lord, what do I tell them?
16
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:07,000
And I heard on the inside, and you know, God doesn't speak audibly all the time.
17
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,000
Do you know when he speaks audibly? I learned this from Kenneth E. Hagen.
18
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,000
When there's rough road ahead.
19
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:17,000
When he says, I want you to stay on the promise, because it's yes and amen,
20
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:23,000
but there's usually rough road ahead. He wants to hold us steady by his spoken word.
21
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:37,000
So I heard audibly on the inside, you tell these mothers that those who I call, I equip.
22
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:44,000
He said, before I ever formed them in their mother's womb, I knew them.
23
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:57,000
And I have put within them everything they need to survive and prevail in the times such as this.
24
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:01,000
And I was speaking in a women's conference with Yolanda Stiff, and a lot of this is in my book.
25
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,000
I'm just giving you highlights.
26
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:09,000
And, you know, the Lord was directing me and developing the mantle and the mandate
27
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:14,000
to call us all to prayer for the rising generations.
28
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:18,000
And all of a sudden I was teaching, and I went into a seer anointing.
29
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:24,000
And I started to see, you know, the Holy Ghost will just come upon you randomly without you, you know.
30
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,000
You know what I mean? You could ever do that.
31
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:32,000
You're just minding your own business, and all of a sudden you start operating in the gifts of the Spirit.
32
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,000
I love that, don't you?
33
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,000
So I was teaching, all of a sudden I started operating in a seer anointing,
34
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:45,000
and I saw the rising generations, the Millennials, the Zs, and I saw a great sea of them.
35
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:50,000
And they were all running the race, and they were all on a path.
36
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:59,000
And then the Lord said, there's never been a day like this day whereby there are so many five-fold ministry gifts
37
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:04,000
on the inside of these Zs and on the inside of these Millennials.
38
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:08,000
And the devil sees it, and he is afraid.
39
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:15,000
He said, they are marked by me, they are chosen by me, my mantle is upon them.
40
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:23,000
I've graced them with the gifts of the Spirit, and there's war over this destiny.
41
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,000
But let me just say this, because this isn't my message.
42
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:29,000
These kids don't know how to pray.
43
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:37,000
So we've got to enter in, and we've got to not only teach them and train them by precept and example,
44
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:44,000
but we've got to go in, and we've got to be, some of us got to be like the Aarons and the Heres as parents,
45
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:54,000
and hold up their arms so that that which is within them can come forth and be born.
46
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:59,000
Orabash sheketa mahasaya naneyama sharabash satah.
47
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:04,000
Yes, Ecclesiastes 3.2 says there is a time to be born.
48
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,000
It's no accident they were born.
49
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:10,000
No accident my kids were born out of my womb.
50
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,000
Has there been war over their destiny? Yes.
51
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:17,000
And for me personally, can I just be honest, are we family?
52
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,000
I went through a very difficult time the last four years,
53
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:26,000
and when I went through my own personal struggle, I kind of lacked, I was,
54
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:33,000
I didn't press in like I normally would war over the hearts and destiny of my children.
55
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,000
I saw the fruit of it.
56
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:39,000
And I'm telling you, the Lord's been, and not that anything major bad,
57
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:45,000
but you can see the fruit of prayerlessness.
58
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,000
Is there a watchman in the house?
59
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:55,000
Proverbs 31 says this woman who's a virtuous woman, like you all are, your mothers,
60
00:04:55,000 --> 00:05:00,000
she watches over her household.
61
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,000
That watchman anointing.
62
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:06,000
Father, as I preach this word, I thank you for a revival, a renewal,
63
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:13,000
and a pouring out of the watchman seer anointing on the inside of every parent,
64
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,000
every mother, every father.
65
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:20,000
We covet earnestly, Lord, that the gifts of the Spirit would be in operation,
66
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,000
the word of wisdom, the word of knowledge, discerning of spirits,
67
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:30,000
so that they can see and hear and know and be effective watchmen in their own houses.
68
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,000
She looks well on her household.
69
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,000
He's not just talking about clothing and what you wear.
70
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,000
He's talking about being able to watch.
71
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,000
And when you watch in the Spirit, you're not operating in the natural,
72
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,000
because you know things by revelation.
73
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:50,000
Your kid may be like, hey, everything's fine, but on the inside,
74
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:55,000
the Holy Ghost will instruct you and lead you, and He'll guide you into all truth.
75
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,000
He will show you things to come.
76
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,000
So it's that watchman anointing.
77
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:04,000
So I thank you, Father, for Psalms 92-10.
78
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,000
Ah-ha-she-keh.
79
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:11,000
On everyone under the sound of my voice, even including those that are home in Jesus' name,
80
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:15,000
I thank you that spiritual things are transferable,
81
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:21,000
so we covet earnestly a desire that these gifts manifest in our homes and in our families.
82
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:25,000
Who said the watchman anointing is only for church?
83
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:26,000
I'm so over it.
84
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,000
Listen, I'm not over it being in the church.
85
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:32,000
I'm just over everybody just hoarding up the gifts for church.
86
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,000
We should go into the highways and the byways,
87
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:39,000
and we should be operating as the church everywhere we go,
88
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:47,000
because honestly, there's no showing off when you're in the highways and the byways and on the streets of Newark.
89
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:57,000
No, you're only like, love is compelling me to help this person, not showing off.
90
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:03,000
Kennedy Hagen once said, and Pastor, I thought it was going to be us.
91
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:08,000
How old are you?
92
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,000
I'll tell my age if you tell your age.
93
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:17,000
You want to come back?
94
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:18,000
Seventy-eight.
95
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,000
Seventy-eight? That's impossible.
96
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:25,000
What?
97
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,000
What?
98
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:33,000
Impossible.
99
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,000
Impossible.
100
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:41,000
It's all the olive oil.
101
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:46,000
That olive oil, telling you, it's a miracle oil.
102
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:50,000
Well, I'm 67.
103
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:51,000
Right?
104
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,000
I thought it was going to be us.
105
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,000
I thought we were going to be the people.
106
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,000
I thought, we're the people.
107
00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,000
This is a place.
108
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:00,000
Now is the time.
109
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,000
I thought we were going to be the ones to see this.
110
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:08,000
But Kennedy Hagen prophesied when I was in Bible school, and he said,
111
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:16,000
there's going to come a generation, and it'll be said of them like it was said of the early church.
112
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:21,000
They that have turned the world upside down have come hither also.
113
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,000
The early church operated in signs.
114
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:25,000
The early church was bold.
115
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:29,000
The early church operated in miracles.
116
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,000
The early church was a faceless church.
117
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:36,000
It was all about Jesus.
118
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:44,000
I believe it's going to be our young people.
119
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:48,000
So really quickly, so what are we going to do?
120
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,000
We're going to pray.
121
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:57,000
Prayer, one of my most favorite quotes from the heart of God that he gave me.
122
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,000
Oh, I think it was Joyce Meyer.
123
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,000
She taught me.
124
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:03,000
Now I teach you.
125
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,000
See how it works?
126
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,000
Let me just say this about that.
127
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:16,000
What you've put in your kids, your children, your young people, it will not reach her void.
128
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:21,000
It is an incorruptible seed that lives and abides forever.
129
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,000
Train up a child in a way that they should go.
130
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:29,000
When they are old, they will not depart from it.
131
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:30,000
They may stray.
132
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,000
They may have a fit.
133
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,000
They may take a shot of tequila.
134
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,000
They may do all these things.
135
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:41,000
But I'm telling you, whatever you've put within your children, they've been touched by God in church.
136
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,000
You were faithful to bring them to church.
137
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,000
You did the right thing.
138
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,000
It's not your fault.
139
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,000
Why do we always blame the parents?
140
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:53,000
Maybe it's something we did right, not something we did wrong.
141
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:57,000
Maybe it's just the will of the child.
142
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:04,000
Or maybe it's your child that has a major call, and that particular child is not a problem child,
143
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:11,000
but that particular child is a strong-willed child who is a leader.
144
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,000
I think it's wisdom.
145
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:17,000
As a matter of fact, in my book, Content, I talk about some books of parents we should read.
146
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:18,000
What's it called?
147
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,000
The Strong-Willed Child and the Five Love Languages of Children.
148
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:26,000
If we had some natural head now, I think it would help us.
149
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:30,000
But prayer opens up the door for God to work.
150
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,000
Are we preparing the way for our children and spirit?
151
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,000
How many of you moms know what I'm talking about?
152
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:50,000
About all the countless hours spending driving them to hockey, dance class, baseball, art classes, sewing classes, all kinds of activities.
153
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,000
How many of you spent more than eight hours a day in the car?
154
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,000
Can I see your hand right now?
155
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:58,000
That's a Mother's Day gift in and of itself.
156
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:05,000
But let me tell you, the greatest act of love that we could do for our children is not just these natural things,
157
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:13,000
but John 15, 12, and 30 is to lay down our lives in prayer, in intercession for our children.
158
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:20,000
And I'm telling you, we get so busy, because especially those of us in New York, New Jersey, maybe not as much as Pennsylvania.
159
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:25,000
Don't be mad at me, Pennsylvania, but you guys have it easier than we do here.
160
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:31,000
You know, we're busy. We're moving. We're shaking. We drive black cars. We wear a lot of black clothes.
161
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:37,000
We have long black hair. We have eyelashes. We have extensions. We've got it all going on.
162
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:45,000
We're busy.
163
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:49,000
Botox, filler. We just got it all going on.
164
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:53,000
Working out, Pilates, strength training. Right?
165
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:59,000
We have a lot going on around here.
166
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,000
But we've done all these things in the natural.
167
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:10,000
We've got to do that which is the most important part.
168
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:14,000
We've got to enter into the place of prayer and get out of our busyness.
169
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:19,000
Get out of the distractions. You are distracted, many of you.
170
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:24,000
I'm distracted. I said to God, God, I've got to make some changes.
171
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:28,000
It's okay. We make changes. Moms, we feel guilty.
172
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,000
We feel guilty. Aren't I guilty?
173
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,000
We're always guilty. I'm not trying to add more guilt.
174
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:41,000
I'm just saying sometimes we've got to rearrange our schedules, make room for God, do that which is the first works.
175
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:45,000
Really, we've got to start praying for our kids.
176
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:58,000
James 516 says the effective, earnest, heartfelt prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available, dynamic, and it's working.
177
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:08,000
Catherine Coleman once said, the greatest power given to any individual is the power of prayer.
178
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,000
This is one of my favorite quotes.
179
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:16,000
Did anybody ever read The Circle Maker by Mark Batterson?
180
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,000
No? It's a great book.
181
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:22,000
He said, each prayer is like a seed that gets planted in the ground.
182
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:29,000
Prayer is your highest privilege as a parent.
183
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:33,000
Can I just say this about that, especially some of us that are over 60?
184
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,000
Prayer doesn't always have to be on your knees.
185
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,000
I did that. Been there, done that.
186
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:43,000
Now I get on my knees, I'm like, you get on my knees, on my back.
187
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:53,000
You know, it's like you could pray any posture in prayer and your prayer opens up the door for God to work.
188
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,000
It's not based on works or posture.
189
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,000
It's based on faith.
190
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:05,000
It's based on praying the word of God in the scriptures, and it's based on praying in the Holy Ghost.
191
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:10,000
So what I do, I lay in bed.
192
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,000
I have a new teaching.
193
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:16,000
Well, I call it, continual prayer, praying in your bed, and there's another one.
194
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:21,000
I forgot what it is, but I learned that after I kneed in the back.
195
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:26,000
I've realized you don't have to go into a room, Matthew 6, 6, and shut the door.
196
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,000
Right? I learned that you can continually pray.
197
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,000
It's really a cool teaching.
198
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:34,000
But I also learned you can pray in your bed.
199
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,000
The psalmist said I'm in my bed, and I'm meditating on the Lord.
200
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,000
I'm praying in my bed.
201
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:43,000
So you're going to be laying in bed when the kids are in bed, when the kids are asleep.
202
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:44,000
Everybody's quiet.
203
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:45,000
The house is quiet.
204
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,000
Everybody's quiet.
205
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:53,000
But here on the inside, Jesus, God said, I neither slumber nor sleep.
206
00:14:53,000 --> 00:15:02,000
Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive unto the prayer that is made in you, the house of prayer.
207
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:06,000
And when you pray, your prayer goes up before the throne of God.
208
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,000
It is like a sweet incense.
209
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:11,000
I hearken unto the voice of your prayers.
210
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:16,000
Go boldly, draw boldly into the throne of grace.
211
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,000
Obtain mercy on the behalf of your children.
212
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,000
And I, the Lord, will not leave them.
213
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,000
I, the Lord, will not forsake them.
214
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:33,000
I am with them always, even unto the end of the age.
215
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:34,000
Whoo.
216
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:40,000
Prayer turns ordinary parents into prophets.
217
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:41,000
I want to be a prophet.
218
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:42,000
I want to be a prophet.
219
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:43,000
I want to be a prophet.
220
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:49,000
Everybody wants to be a prophet so they can show off.
221
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,000
So over it.
222
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,000
Sorry, that's my little.
223
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,000
Does anybody know what I'm talking about?
224
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,000
I'm not despising prophecy, so don't get me wrong.
225
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,000
But you got to be careful.
226
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,000
If you're a true prophet, you keep your mouth shut.
227
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:11,000
And you don't tell everything you know and you definitely don't brag about everything you know on social media.
228
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,000
Oh, I prophesied that.
229
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:14,000
I prophesied that.
230
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,000
Oh, I prophesied that five years ago.
231
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:17,000
Oh, here it is.
232
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:18,000
It came to pass.
233
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:19,000
So what?
234
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:22,000
The prophecies will cease, all the gifts of the Spirit will cease.
235
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,000
Did you know how to love?
236
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,000
Did you learn how to walk in love?
237
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,000
It's going to be at the very end of the day where we all stand before him.
238
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,000
Did you learn how to love?
239
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:37,000
As all this stuff is going to pass away, but faith works by love.
240
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:41,000
All the gifts are going to pass away, but it's all about love.
241
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:47,000
Love will never fail.
242
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,000
How do we get off on that?
243
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:57,000
Prayer turns ordinary parents into prophets who shape the destinies of their children, grandchildren, and every generation that follows.
244
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:05,000
Your prayers for your children are going to be the greatest legacy you can leave.
245
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,000
I didn't realize this with my first book, Mark for Intercession.
246
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:13,000
It's not as well written as the rest of them because I had Ashley, an editor, help me.
247
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,000
And you become a better writer the more you do it.
248
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:29,000
You're never too old.
249
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:33,000
But I put this in my first book, Mark for Intercession.
250
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:37,000
I said I dedicate this book to my three children, Jonathan, Danielle, Jacqueline.
251
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,000
They didn't have spouses at the time.
252
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,000
They become another assignment, right?
253
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,000
The spouses, then the grandkids, that's another assignment.
254
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:57,000
I said long after I've left this earth, my prayers, your prayers, will continue to prevail because all your prayers are eternal.
255
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:58,000
All right.
256
00:17:58,000 --> 00:17:59,000
We have seven more minutes.
257
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:00,000
Are we good?
258
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:01,000
Amen.
259
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,000
How do you pray for your children?
260
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:09,000
I'm not going to get into all of it because I told pastor I overprepare and then I see how the Holy Ghost takes me.
261
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,000
Right, pastor?
262
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,000
How do you pray for your children?
263
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:17,000
First of all, know the promises.
264
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,000
1 John 5, 14, this is, and you know what?
265
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:20,000
You know the promises.
266
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,000
You've been trained well.
267
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,000
I'm just trying to get through my own battle.
268
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,000
Get out of your battle.
269
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:31,000
Job's captivity was turned when he prayed for his friends.
270
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:35,000
Not only that, God gave Job twice as much as he had before.
271
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:36,000
I know you're in a battle.
272
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:45,000
But if you turn your attention off of yourself and turn your attention on the need at hand, your battles will go away.
273
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:52,000
This is the confidence we have in approaching God that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.
274
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,000
His will is his word.
275
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:57,000
Really quickly, really quickly, what's his will?
276
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:01,000
He said, I would that all men be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth.
277
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,000
The apostle Paul was on a wrong road, getting going on the wrong path.
278
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,000
His name was Saul.
279
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:10,000
In a second, he was hammered by the Holy Ghost and turned into another man.
280
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,000
I like what my friend Maria Conrad always says.
281
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:14,000
Apprehend them, Jesus.
282
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:19,000
May there be a Holy Ghost apprehension.
283
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,000
He said, I want them all saved.
284
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:26,000
Acts 16, believe on the Lord Jesus and you will be saved and your household.
285
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:27,000
That's it.
286
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:28,000
That's it.
287
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:29,000
No question about it.
288
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,000
Can't have them, devil.
289
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:34,000
Now I'm saved and my whole entire household.
290
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:35,000
Got it?
291
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:36,000
I'm not backing down.
292
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:37,000
I'm not stopping.
293
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:41,000
They're all going to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth.
294
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,000
Romans 1, 16.
295
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:50,000
I am not ashamed of the gospel because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes.
296
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:55,000
That word salvation, this is general and I'm going to skip over a lot of this because we have to close.
297
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:59,000
Salvation, general, means sotaria.
298
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:07,000
That Greek word, it means healing, deliverance, safety and soundness.
299
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,000
Right?
300
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:10,000
Your kid gets his permit.
301
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,000
Holy God.
302
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,000
I had two with a permit all at once.
303
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,000
Then I had two with permits and one with a license.
304
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,000
What do you think my main prayer was?
305
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,000
Day in, day out.
306
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,000
Besides the Ephesians prayer that God would open up the eyes of their understanding,
307
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:32,000
besides the Ephesians prayer that says God give them revelation of your love, the height, the depth, the breadth.
308
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,000
You could pray that every day.
309
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,000
You could pray it all the time for your kids.
310
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,000
This is called intercession.
311
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:42,000
I prayed that Psalms 91 prayer.
312
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:47,000
You'll give your angels charge over them to keep them in all their ways.
313
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:52,000
In their pathway there's life and there's no death or harm in Jesus' name.
314
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,000
I plead the blood of Jesus.
315
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,000
I thank you Lord that your name is like a banner.
316
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:05,000
It's over their car and they just ride along in that car baby doll and they are safe.
317
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,000
That's the will of God.
318
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:11,000
Then what do you do after you've prayed certain scriptures?
319
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:14,000
Because you know you've got to pray the word, right?
320
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,000
Pray in the Holy Ghost.
321
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,000
Can I be honest with you?
322
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,000
I'm going to close pretty quickly now.
323
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,000
Can I just be honest with you?
324
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:28,000
People aren't praying in the Holy Ghost.
325
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,000
We pray the word for our kids.
326
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,000
Here we go.
327
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:37,000
Take their need to the word, to the promise.
328
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,000
Agree with the promise.
329
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,000
That's what you present before the throne of God.
330
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,000
That's what you declare before the throne of God.
331
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,000
I can't tell you to pray without telling you how.
332
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,000
That's what you do.
333
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,000
You take the promise.
334
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,000
Here's the promise.
335
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:57,000
You take their need to the word of God.
336
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,000
You agree with the word.
337
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,000
You present that before the throne of God.
338
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,000
Here's an example.
339
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:07,000
Say you've got a child who's extremely insecure.
340
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,000
Pray Ephesians 3.
341
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:13,000
They'll have a revelation of the love of God.
342
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:16,000
You know the perfect love casts out fear?
343
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,000
Or maybe they have an eating disorder.
344
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,000
That's an insecurity.
345
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,000
That's a weird kind of a fear thing, right?
346
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,000
Pray that they have a revelation of the love of God.
347
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:28,000
Let's say you have a child who's been in church.
348
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:29,000
Now he's like running from God.
349
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:33,000
Pray that the eyes of their heart would be open and enlighten them.
350
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:37,000
Pray that the Holy Spirit that's on the inside of them would rise up.
351
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:42,000
That the greater one would rise up and give illumination to their mind.
352
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:43,000
And draw them back.
353
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:47,000
Didn't the word of God say that the Holy Spirit comes to what?
354
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:53,000
To convict and convince the world of their need for Jesus.
355
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,000
So you start to pray like that.
356
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:56,000
Pray the word of God.
357
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,000
Pray the Holy and then pray in the Holy Ghost.
358
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:02,000
The Holy Spirit's going to start to hover around them and start to convict them.
359
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:03,000
Convince them.
360
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:04,000
Rise up in them.
361
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,000
Influence them.
362
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,000
No prayer, no influence.
363
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,000
Prayer, there's influence.
364
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:11,000
Divine influence.
365
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,000
Influence you can't even see.
366
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,000
But you know he's there.
367
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:19,000
Because the Holy Spirit is a person.
368
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:24,000
And you begin to pray the word and pray in the Holy Ghost on their behalf.
369
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,000
And I'm telling you there's going to be divine influence.
370
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,000
And you'll see things turn around sometimes quickly.
371
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,000
Sometimes after a month.
372
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,000
Sometimes after a year.
373
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,000
Sometimes it takes even longer than that.
374
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:41,000
Jesus said in Luke 18, one man ought to always pray and not faint.
375
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:42,000
Don't faint.
376
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:43,000
Don't quit.
377
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,000
Don't stop.
378
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,000
Just keep praying.
379
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,000
So we pray the word.
380
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,000
We don't pray worry prayers.
381
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,000
Have you ever prayed a worry prayer?
382
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:54,000
Oh God.
383
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:55,000
And you pray worry.
384
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:56,000
The worry thing.
385
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,000
You're worrying and you're worrying and you're worrying.
386
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,000
You're praying a worry prayer.
387
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,000
Have you ever prayed a worry prayer?
388
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,000
Pray the word of God.
389
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:07,000
You can say to God, hey Lord, like you see what's going on here.
390
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:08,000
Of course he does.
391
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:09,000
My eyes are open.
392
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:10,000
I got it.
393
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:14,000
But you take that need to the word of God.
394
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,000
You begin to declare the word of God.
395
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,000
The word of God doesn't return void.
396
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:19,000
Listen.
397
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,000
Witchcraft people understand this.
398
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,000
The word of God goes into the atmosphere.
399
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,000
It cuts away hard places.
400
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,000
It doesn't return void.
401
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:30,000
It brings rain.
402
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:31,000
It brings conviction.
403
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:34,000
And it creates, even the new agers even get this.
404
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,000
It creates an atmosphere around them.
405
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:41,000
Because the word of God is spirit and life.
406
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,000
And it will produce results.
407
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,000
But after, right?
408
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:49,000
But after you've prayed everything you know to pray, pray in the Holy Ghost.
409
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,000
I walk the floors.
410
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:52,000
I pray in tongues.
411
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,000
The apostle Paul said, I thank my God.
412
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:58,000
I speak in tongues more than you all.
413
00:24:58,000 --> 00:24:59,000
Praying in tongues.
414
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,000
How many pray in tongues?
415
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:04,000
When you pray, oh glory to God.
416
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:10,000
When you pray in tongues, you're praying according to the will of God.
417
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:14,000
And this is the confidence that we have in him.
418
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:22,000
If we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.
419
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:26,000
And if we know he hears us, we know we have the petitions we desire.
420
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:31,000
Praying in the Holy Ghost is praying according to the will of God.
421
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,000
Not our own will for our children.
422
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:39,000
But praying in the Holy Ghost is praying exactly what needs to be prayed for our children.
423
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,000
Because we're praying out of purpose.
424
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,000
We're praying out of destiny.
425
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,000
We're praying out of eternity.
426
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,000
Things we don't know about our children, the Holy Ghost knows.
427
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,000
Because he searches the hearts.
428
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,000
He knows what is the mind of the spirit.
429
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:57,000
So when we pray in the Holy Ghost, we speak not unto men but unto God.
430
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:06,000
And we're praying out the mystery that which is hid from you regarding your children is being prayed out with precision.
431
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:14,000
Thank you, Lord.
432
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:17,000
So that's the power of a praying parent.
433
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,000
Let's stand.
434
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,000
That was a mouthful.
435
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:31,000
Let me just say, I'm going to tell you what happened today.
436
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,000
I carry something.
437
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,000
That's why God sent me here today.
438
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,000
I carry this an anointing.
439
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,000
I have a measure.
440
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:41,000
Everybody's got a measure.
441
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:42,000
Pastor has a measure.
442
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,000
Some of the leaders here, we all have our measure.
443
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:46,000
I have a measure.
444
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:56,000
When you hear the word of God through this vessel, that which is in me went right into you.
445
00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:00,000
My words will not return void.
446
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:05,000
Number one, we also prayed for God to anoint you with fresh oil.
447
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,000
He did that.
448
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:11,000
Number two, the words that we spoke went into you.
449
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:14,000
And it's going to produce fruit in your prayer lives.
450
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:17,000
If you could just go ahead and start to play.
451
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,000
I want to see which direction he's going to have me go.
452
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,000
A lot of people aren't filled with the Holy Ghost.
453
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,000
That's quite interesting.
454
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,000
Because people have neglected tongues, they don't understand.
455
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:28,000
That's a whole other teaching.
456
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,000
I have one church I'm in relationship with.
457
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:37,000
About every 12 to 15 months, he says, could you come in and teach on the baptism of the Holy Spirit
458
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,000
and the next time teach on white tongues?
459
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:46,000
I don't know when I got filled with the Holy Ghost, I started speaking in tongues and I never stopped.
460
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,000
I didn't even need a lot of teaching.
461
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:52,000
I just knew that the Holy Ghost gave me this language.
462
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:57,000
And it's a language that goes beyond any language that is on this earth.
463
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,000
And it goes right into the heart of God.
464
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,000
From my heart to his heart produces results.
465
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:05,000
So this is what we're going to do.
466
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,000
I'm going to ask everyone to close their eyes.
467
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:13,000
Thank you, Lord.
468
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,000
I want you to lift your hands.
469
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:22,000
Can you feel, can you sense?
470
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:27,000
There's a wave of the Holy Ghost hovering over you.
471
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,000
Say this with me.
472
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:36,000
Heavenly Father, I believe that Jesus Christ
473
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:39,000
is the Son of God.
474
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:43,000
I believe he rose from the dead
475
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:49,000
so that I could have life and life more abundantly.
476
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:53,000
So Jesus, I'm asking you today
477
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:58,000
to come into my heart and be the Lord of my life.
478
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:02,000
Jesus, I make you Lord.
479
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:06,000
Today, Lord of my life.
480
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:12,000
And now, Holy Ghost, I'm asking you to rise up within me.
481
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:16,000
I'm asking you to come upon me.
482
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:23,000
I'm asking you, Lord Jesus, to baptize me with the Holy Ghost.
483
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:28,000
And I will, I will begin to speak
484
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:32,000
with other tongues as you give me utterance.
485
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:35,000
Let's just go ahead and pray in the Holy Ghost for a moment.
486
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,000
Thank you so much for tuning in to today's podcast.
487
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:41,000
It has been such a joy sharing this time with you.

00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,000

00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,000
The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.
2
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:12,000
God will put the prayer in your heart to pray so that he can answer it.
3
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:17,000
It goes into the hearts of the people, doesn't return void, it produces results.
4
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:21,000
Of what we're called to be and called to do.
5
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:25,000
That's why it's not a time for you to grow weary.

00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,000
It's not a time for you to draw back.
7
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,000
It's not a time for you to retire.
8
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,000
It's a time for you to refire.
9
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:38,000
Oh, but I'm old, I'm in aid, I'm this, I'm that.
10
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:42,000
No, no, no, no, no. God has need of you in this hour.
11
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:46,000
You're the mothers, you're the fathers, you're the grandparents.
12
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,000
You hold the key in your hands.
13
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,000
It's time. We've got to keep doing.
14
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:57,000
I can't, I can't retire. It's not a time to retire, my friends.
15
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:02,000
And so I went into this meeting and I'm just like, Lord, what do I tell them?
16
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:07,000
And I heard on the inside, and you know, God doesn't speak audibly all the time.
17
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,000
Do you know when he speaks audibly? I learned this from Kenneth E. Hagen.
18
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,000
When there's rough road ahead.
19
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:17,000
When he says, I want you to stay on the promise, because it's yes and amen,
20
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:23,000
but there's usually rough road ahead. He wants to hold us steady by his spoken word.
21
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:37,000
So I heard audibly on the inside, you tell these mothers that those who I call, I equip.
22
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:44,000
He said, before I ever formed them in their mother's womb, I knew them.
23
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:57,000
And I have put within them everything they need to survive and prevail in the times such as this.
24
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:01,000
And I was speaking in a women's conference with Yolanda Stiff, and a lot of this is in my book.
25
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,000
I'm just giving you highlights.
26
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:09,000
And, you know, the Lord was directing me and developing the mantle and the mandate
27
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:14,000
to call us all to prayer for the rising generations.
28
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:18,000
And all of a sudden I was teaching, and I went into a seer anointing.
29
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:24,000
And I started to see, you know, the Holy Ghost will just come upon you randomly without you, you know.
30
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,000
You know what I mean? You could ever do that.
31
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:32,000
You're just minding your own business, and all of a sudden you start operating in the gifts of the Spirit.
32
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,000
I love that, don't you?
33
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,000
So I was teaching, all of a sudden I started operating in a seer anointing,
34
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:45,000
and I saw the rising generations, the Millennials, the Zs, and I saw a great sea of them.
35
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:50,000
And they were all running the race, and they were all on a path.
36
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:59,000
And then the Lord said, there's never been a day like this day whereby there are so many five-fold ministry gifts
37
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:04,000
on the inside of these Zs and on the inside of these Millennials.
38
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:08,000
And the devil sees it, and he is afraid.
39
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:15,000
He said, they are marked by me, they are chosen by me, my mantle is upon them.
40
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:23,000
I've graced them with the gifts of the Spirit, and there's war over this destiny.
41
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,000
But let me just say this, because this isn't my message.
42
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:29,000
These kids don't know how to pray.
43
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:37,000
So we've got to enter in, and we've got to not only teach them and train them by precept and example,
44
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:44,000
but we've got to go in, and we've got to be, some of us got to be like the Aarons and the Heres as parents,
45
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:54,000
and hold up their arms so that that which is within them can come forth and be born.
46
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:59,000
Orabash sheketa mahasaya naneyama sharabash satah.
47
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:04,000
Yes, Ecclesiastes 3.2 says there is a time to be born.
48
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,000
It's no accident they were born.
49
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:10,000
No accident my kids were born out of my womb.
50
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,000
Has there been war over their destiny? Yes.
51
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:17,000
And for me personally, can I just be honest, are we family?
52
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,000
I went through a very difficult time the last four years,
53
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:26,000
and when I went through my own personal struggle, I kind of lacked, I was,
54
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:33,000
I didn't press in like I normally would war over the hearts and destiny of my children.
55
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,000
I saw the fruit of it.
56
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:39,000
And I'm telling you, the Lord's been, and not that anything major bad,
57
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:45,000
but you can see the fruit of prayerlessness.
58
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,000
Is there a watchman in the house?
59
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:55,000
Proverbs 31 says this woman who's a virtuous woman, like you all are, your mothers,
60
00:04:55,000 --> 00:05:00,000
she watches over her household.
61
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,000
That watchman anointing.
62
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:06,000
Father, as I preach this word, I thank you for a revival, a renewal,
63
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:13,000
and a pouring out of the watchman seer anointing on the inside of every parent,
64
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,000
every mother, every father.
65
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:20,000
We covet earnestly, Lord, that the gifts of the Spirit would be in operation,
66
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,000
the word of wisdom, the word of knowledge, discerning of spirits,
67
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:30,000
so that they can see and hear and know and be effective watchmen in their own houses.
68
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,000
She looks well on her household.
69
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,000
He's not just talking about clothing and what you wear.
70
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,000
He's talking about being able to watch.
71
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,000
And when you watch in the Spirit, you're not operating in the natural,
72
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,000
because you know things by revelation.
73
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:50,000
Your kid may be like, hey, everything's fine, but on the inside,
74
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:55,000
the Holy Ghost will instruct you and lead you, and He'll guide you into all truth.
75
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,000
He will show you things to come.
76
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,000
So it's that watchman anointing.
77
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:04,000
So I thank you, Father, for Psalms 92-10.
78
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,000
Ah-ha-she-keh.
79
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:11,000
On everyone under the sound of my voice, even including those that are home in Jesus' name,
80
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:15,000
I thank you that spiritual things are transferable,
81
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:21,000
so we covet earnestly a desire that these gifts manifest in our homes and in our families.
82
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:25,000
Who said the watchman anointing is only for church?
83
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:26,000
I'm so over it.
84
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,000
Listen, I'm not over it being in the church.
85
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:32,000
I'm just over everybody just hoarding up the gifts for church.
86
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,000
We should go into the highways and the byways,
87
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:39,000
and we should be operating as the church everywhere we go,
88
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:47,000
because honestly, there's no showing off when you're in the highways and the byways and on the streets of Newark.
89
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:57,000
No, you're only like, love is compelling me to help this person, not showing off.
90
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:03,000
Kennedy Hagen once said, and Pastor, I thought it was going to be us.
91
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:08,000
How old are you?
92
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,000
I'll tell my age if you tell your age.
93
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:17,000
You want to come back?
94
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:18,000
Seventy-eight.
95
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,000
Seventy-eight? That's impossible.
96
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:25,000
What?
97
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,000
What?
98
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:33,000
Impossible.
99
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,000
Impossible.
100
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:41,000
It's all the olive oil.
101
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:46,000
That olive oil, telling you, it's a miracle oil.
102
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:50,000
Well, I'm 67.
103
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:51,000
Right?
104
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,000
I thought it was going to be us.
105
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,000
I thought we were going to be the people.
106
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,000
I thought, we're the people.
107
00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,000
This is a place.
108
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:00,000
Now is the time.
109
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,000
I thought we were going to be the ones to see this.
110
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:08,000
But Kennedy Hagen prophesied when I was in Bible school, and he said,
111
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:16,000
there's going to come a generation, and it'll be said of them like it was said of the early church.
112
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:21,000
They that have turned the world upside down have come hither also.
113
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,000
The early church operated in signs.
114
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:25,000
The early church was bold.
115
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:29,000
The early church operated in miracles.
116
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,000
The early church was a faceless church.
117
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:36,000
It was all about Jesus.
118
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:44,000
I believe it's going to be our young people.
119
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:48,000
So really quickly, so what are we going to do?
120
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,000
We're going to pray.
121
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:57,000
Prayer, one of my most favorite quotes from the heart of God that he gave me.
122
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,000
Oh, I think it was Joyce Meyer.
123
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,000
She taught me.
124
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:03,000
Now I teach you.
125
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,000
See how it works?
126
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,000
Let me just say this about that.
127
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:16,000
What you've put in your kids, your children, your young people, it will not reach her void.
128
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:21,000
It is an incorruptible seed that lives and abides forever.
129
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,000
Train up a child in a way that they should go.
130
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:29,000
When they are old, they will not depart from it.
131
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:30,000
They may stray.
132
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,000
They may have a fit.
133
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,000
They may take a shot of tequila.
134
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,000
They may do all these things.
135
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:41,000
But I'm telling you, whatever you've put within your children, they've been touched by God in church.
136
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,000
You were faithful to bring them to church.
137
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,000
You did the right thing.
138
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,000
It's not your fault.
139
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,000
Why do we always blame the parents?
140
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:53,000
Maybe it's something we did right, not something we did wrong.
141
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:57,000
Maybe it's just the will of the child.
142
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:04,000
Or maybe it's your child that has a major call, and that particular child is not a problem child,
143
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:11,000
but that particular child is a strong-willed child who is a leader.
144
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,000
I think it's wisdom.
145
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:17,000
As a matter of fact, in my book, Content, I talk about some books of parents we should read.
146
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:18,000
What's it called?
147
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,000
The Strong-Willed Child and the Five Love Languages of Children.
148
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:26,000
If we had some natural head now, I think it would help us.
149
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:30,000
But prayer opens up the door for God to work.
150
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,000
Are we preparing the way for our children and spirit?
151
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,000
How many of you moms know what I'm talking about?
152
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:50,000
About all the countless hours spending driving them to hockey, dance class, baseball, art classes, sewing classes, all kinds of activities.
153
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,000
How many of you spent more than eight hours a day in the car?
154
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,000
Can I see your hand right now?
155
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:58,000
That's a Mother's Day gift in and of itself.
156
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:05,000
But let me tell you, the greatest act of love that we could do for our children is not just these natural things,
157
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:13,000
but John 15, 12, and 30 is to lay down our lives in prayer, in intercession for our children.
158
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:20,000
And I'm telling you, we get so busy, because especially those of us in New York, New Jersey, maybe not as much as Pennsylvania.
159
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:25,000
Don't be mad at me, Pennsylvania, but you guys have it easier than we do here.
160
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:31,000
You know, we're busy. We're moving. We're shaking. We drive black cars. We wear a lot of black clothes.
161
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:37,000
We have long black hair. We have eyelashes. We have extensions. We've got it all going on.
162
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:45,000
We're busy.
163
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:49,000
Botox, filler. We just got it all going on.
164
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:53,000
Working out, Pilates, strength training. Right?
165
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:59,000
We have a lot going on around here.
166
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,000
But we've done all these things in the natural.
167
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:10,000
We've got to do that which is the most important part.
168
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:14,000
We've got to enter into the place of prayer and get out of our busyness.
169
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:19,000
Get out of the distractions. You are distracted, many of you.
170
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:24,000
I'm distracted. I said to God, God, I've got to make some changes.
171
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:28,000
It's okay. We make changes. Moms, we feel guilty.
172
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,000
We feel guilty. Aren't I guilty?
173
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,000
We're always guilty. I'm not trying to add more guilt.
174
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:41,000
I'm just saying sometimes we've got to rearrange our schedules, make room for God, do that which is the first works.
175
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:45,000
Really, we've got to start praying for our kids.
176
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:58,000
James 516 says the effective, earnest, heartfelt prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available, dynamic, and it's working.
177
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:08,000
Catherine Coleman once said, the greatest power given to any individual is the power of prayer.
178
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,000
This is one of my favorite quotes.
179
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:16,000
Did anybody ever read The Circle Maker by Mark Batterson?
180
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,000
No? It's a great book.
181
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:22,000
He said, each prayer is like a seed that gets planted in the ground.
182
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:29,000
Prayer is your highest privilege as a parent.
183
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:33,000
Can I just say this about that, especially some of us that are over 60?
184
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,000
Prayer doesn't always have to be on your knees.
185
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,000
I did that. Been there, done that.
186
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:43,000
Now I get on my knees, I'm like, you get on my knees, on my back.
187
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:53,000
You know, it's like you could pray any posture in prayer and your prayer opens up the door for God to work.
188
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,000
It's not based on works or posture.
189
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,000
It's based on faith.
190
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:05,000
It's based on praying the word of God in the scriptures, and it's based on praying in the Holy Ghost.
191
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:10,000
So what I do, I lay in bed.
192
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,000
I have a new teaching.
193
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:16,000
Well, I call it, continual prayer, praying in your bed, and there's another one.
194
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:21,000
I forgot what it is, but I learned that after I kneed in the back.
195
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:26,000
I've realized you don't have to go into a room, Matthew 6, 6, and shut the door.
196
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,000
Right? I learned that you can continually pray.
197
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,000
It's really a cool teaching.
198
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:34,000
But I also learned you can pray in your bed.
199
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,000
The psalmist said I'm in my bed, and I'm meditating on the Lord.
200
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,000
I'm praying in my bed.
201
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:43,000
So you're going to be laying in bed when the kids are in bed, when the kids are asleep.
202
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:44,000
Everybody's quiet.
203
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:45,000
The house is quiet.
204
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,000
Everybody's quiet.
205
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:53,000
But here on the inside, Jesus, God said, I neither slumber nor sleep.
206
00:14:53,000 --> 00:15:02,000
Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive unto the prayer that is made in you, the house of prayer.
207
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:06,000
And when you pray, your prayer goes up before the throne of God.
208
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,000
It is like a sweet incense.
209
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:11,000
I hearken unto the voice of your prayers.
210
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:16,000
Go boldly, draw boldly into the throne of grace.
211
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,000
Obtain mercy on the behalf of your children.
212
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,000
And I, the Lord, will not leave them.
213
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,000
I, the Lord, will not forsake them.
214
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:33,000
I am with them always, even unto the end of the age.
215
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:34,000
Whoo.
216
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:40,000
Prayer turns ordinary parents into prophets.
217
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:41,000
I want to be a prophet.
218
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:42,000
I want to be a prophet.
219
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:43,000
I want to be a prophet.
220
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:49,000
Everybody wants to be a prophet so they can show off.
221
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,000
So over it.
222
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,000
Sorry, that's my little.
223
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,000
Does anybody know what I'm talking about?
224
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,000
I'm not despising prophecy, so don't get me wrong.
225
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,000
But you got to be careful.
226
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,000
If you're a true prophet, you keep your mouth shut.
227
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:11,000
And you don't tell everything you know and you definitely don't brag about everything you know on social media.
228
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,000
Oh, I prophesied that.
229
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:14,000
I prophesied that.
230
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,000
Oh, I prophesied that five years ago.
231
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:17,000
Oh, here it is.
232
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:18,000
It came to pass.
233
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:19,000
So what?
234
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:22,000
The prophecies will cease, all the gifts of the Spirit will cease.
235
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,000
Did you know how to love?
236
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,000
Did you learn how to walk in love?
237
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,000
It's going to be at the very end of the day where we all stand before him.
238
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,000
Did you learn how to love?
239
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:37,000
As all this stuff is going to pass away, but faith works by love.
240
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:41,000
All the gifts are going to pass away, but it's all about love.
241
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:47,000
Love will never fail.
242
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,000
How do we get off on that?
243
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:57,000
Prayer turns ordinary parents into prophets who shape the destinies of their children, grandchildren, and every generation that follows.
244
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:05,000
Your prayers for your children are going to be the greatest legacy you can leave.
245
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,000
I didn't realize this with my first book, Mark for Intercession.
246
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:13,000
It's not as well written as the rest of them because I had Ashley, an editor, help me.
247
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,000
And you become a better writer the more you do it.
248
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:29,000
You're never too old.
249
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:33,000
But I put this in my first book, Mark for Intercession.
250
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:37,000
I said I dedicate this book to my three children, Jonathan, Danielle, Jacqueline.
251
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,000
They didn't have spouses at the time.
252
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,000
They become another assignment, right?
253
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,000
The spouses, then the grandkids, that's another assignment.
254
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:57,000
I said long after I've left this earth, my prayers, your prayers, will continue to prevail because all your prayers are eternal.
255
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:58,000
All right.
256
00:17:58,000 --> 00:17:59,000
We have seven more minutes.
257
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:00,000
Are we good?
258
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:01,000
Amen.
259
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,000
How do you pray for your children?
260
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:09,000
I'm not going to get into all of it because I told pastor I overprepare and then I see how the Holy Ghost takes me.
261
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,000
Right, pastor?
262
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,000
How do you pray for your children?
263
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:17,000
First of all, know the promises.
264
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,000
1 John 5, 14, this is, and you know what?
265
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:20,000
You know the promises.
266
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,000
You've been trained well.
267
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,000
I'm just trying to get through my own battle.
268
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,000
Get out of your battle.
269
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:31,000
Job's captivity was turned when he prayed for his friends.
270
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:35,000
Not only that, God gave Job twice as much as he had before.
271
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:36,000
I know you're in a battle.
272
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:45,000
But if you turn your attention off of yourself and turn your attention on the need at hand, your battles will go away.
273
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:52,000
This is the confidence we have in approaching God that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.
274
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,000
His will is his word.
275
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:57,000
Really quickly, really quickly, what's his will?
276
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:01,000
He said, I would that all men be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth.
277
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,000
The apostle Paul was on a wrong road, getting going on the wrong path.
278
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,000
His name was Saul.
279
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:10,000
In a second, he was hammered by the Holy Ghost and turned into another man.
280
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,000
I like what my friend Maria Conrad always says.
281
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:14,000
Apprehend them, Jesus.
282
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:19,000
May there be a Holy Ghost apprehension.
283
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,000
He said, I want them all saved.
284
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:26,000
Acts 16, believe on the Lord Jesus and you will be saved and your household.
285
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:27,000
That's it.
286
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:28,000
That's it.
287
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:29,000
No question about it.
288
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,000
Can't have them, devil.
289
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:34,000
Now I'm saved and my whole entire household.
290
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:35,000
Got it?
291
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:36,000
I'm not backing down.
292
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:37,000
I'm not stopping.
293
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:41,000
They're all going to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth.
294
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,000
Romans 1, 16.
295
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:50,000
I am not ashamed of the gospel because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes.
296
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:55,000
That word salvation, this is general and I'm going to skip over a lot of this because we have to close.
297
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:59,000
Salvation, general, means sotaria.
298
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:07,000
That Greek word, it means healing, deliverance, safety and soundness.
299
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,000
Right?
300
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:10,000
Your kid gets his permit.
301
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,000
Holy God.
302
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,000
I had two with a permit all at once.
303
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,000
Then I had two with permits and one with a license.
304
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,000
What do you think my main prayer was?
305
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,000
Day in, day out.
306
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,000
Besides the Ephesians prayer that God would open up the eyes of their understanding,
307
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:32,000
besides the Ephesians prayer that says God give them revelation of your love, the height, the depth, the breadth.
308
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,000
You could pray that every day.
309
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,000
You could pray it all the time for your kids.
310
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,000
This is called intercession.
311
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:42,000
I prayed that Psalms 91 prayer.
312
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:47,000
You'll give your angels charge over them to keep them in all their ways.
313
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:52,000
In their pathway there's life and there's no death or harm in Jesus' name.
314
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,000
I plead the blood of Jesus.
315
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,000
I thank you Lord that your name is like a banner.
316
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:05,000
It's over their car and they just ride along in that car baby doll and they are safe.
317
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,000
That's the will of God.
318
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:11,000
Then what do you do after you've prayed certain scriptures?
319
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:14,000
Because you know you've got to pray the word, right?
320
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,000
Pray in the Holy Ghost.
321
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,000
Can I be honest with you?
322
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,000
I'm going to close pretty quickly now.
323
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,000
Can I just be honest with you?
324
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:28,000
People aren't praying in the Holy Ghost.
325
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,000
We pray the word for our kids.
326
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,000
Here we go.
327
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:37,000
Take their need to the word, to the promise.
328
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,000
Agree with the promise.
329
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,000
That's what you present before the throne of God.
330
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,000
That's what you declare before the throne of God.
331
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,000
I can't tell you to pray without telling you how.
332
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,000
That's what you do.
333
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,000
You take the promise.
334
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,000
Here's the promise.
335
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:57,000
You take their need to the word of God.
336
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,000
You agree with the word.
337
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,000
You present that before the throne of God.
338
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,000
Here's an example.
339
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:07,000
Say you've got a child who's extremely insecure.
340
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,000
Pray Ephesians 3.
341
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:13,000
They'll have a revelation of the love of God.
342
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:16,000
You know the perfect love casts out fear?
343
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,000
Or maybe they have an eating disorder.
344
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,000
That's an insecurity.
345
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,000
That's a weird kind of a fear thing, right?
346
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,000
Pray that they have a revelation of the love of God.
347
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:28,000
Let's say you have a child who's been in church.
348
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:29,000
Now he's like running from God.
349
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:33,000
Pray that the eyes of their heart would be open and enlighten them.
350
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:37,000
Pray that the Holy Spirit that's on the inside of them would rise up.
351
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:42,000
That the greater one would rise up and give illumination to their mind.
352
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:43,000
And draw them back.
353
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:47,000
Didn't the word of God say that the Holy Spirit comes to what?
354
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:53,000
To convict and convince the world of their need for Jesus.
355
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,000
So you start to pray like that.
356
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:56,000
Pray the word of God.
357
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,000
Pray the Holy and then pray in the Holy Ghost.
358
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:02,000
The Holy Spirit's going to start to hover around them and start to convict them.
359
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:03,000
Convince them.
360
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:04,000
Rise up in them.
361
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,000
Influence them.
362
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,000
No prayer, no influence.
363
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,000
Prayer, there's influence.
364
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:11,000
Divine influence.
365
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,000
Influence you can't even see.
366
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,000
But you know he's there.
367
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:19,000
Because the Holy Spirit is a person.
368
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:24,000
And you begin to pray the word and pray in the Holy Ghost on their behalf.
369
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,000
And I'm telling you there's going to be divine influence.
370
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,000
And you'll see things turn around sometimes quickly.
371
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,000
Sometimes after a month.
372
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,000
Sometimes after a year.
373
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,000
Sometimes it takes even longer than that.
374
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:41,000
Jesus said in Luke 18, one man ought to always pray and not faint.
375
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:42,000
Don't faint.
376
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:43,000
Don't quit.
377
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,000
Don't stop.
378
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,000
Just keep praying.
379
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,000
So we pray the word.
380
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,000
We don't pray worry prayers.
381
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,000
Have you ever prayed a worry prayer?
382
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:54,000
Oh God.
383
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:55,000
And you pray worry.
384
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:56,000
The worry thing.
385
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,000
You're worrying and you're worrying and you're worrying.
386
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,000
You're praying a worry prayer.
387
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,000
Have you ever prayed a worry prayer?
388
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,000
Pray the word of God.
389
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:07,000
You can say to God, hey Lord, like you see what's going on here.
390
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:08,000
Of course he does.
391
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:09,000
My eyes are open.
392
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:10,000
I got it.
393
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:14,000
But you take that need to the word of God.
394
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,000
You begin to declare the word of God.
395
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,000
The word of God doesn't return void.
396
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:19,000
Listen.
397
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,000
Witchcraft people understand this.
398
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,000
The word of God goes into the atmosphere.
399
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,000
It cuts away hard places.
400
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,000
It doesn't return void.
401
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:30,000
It brings rain.
402
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:31,000
It brings conviction.
403
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:34,000
And it creates, even the new agers even get this.
404
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,000
It creates an atmosphere around them.
405
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:41,000
Because the word of God is spirit and life.
406
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,000
And it will produce results.
407
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,000
But after, right?
408
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:49,000
But after you've prayed everything you know to pray, pray in the Holy Ghost.
409
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,000
I walk the floors.
410
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:52,000
I pray in tongues.
411
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,000
The apostle Paul said, I thank my God.
412
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:58,000
I speak in tongues more than you all.
413
00:24:58,000 --> 00:24:59,000
Praying in tongues.
414
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,000
How many pray in tongues?
415
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:04,000
When you pray, oh glory to God.
416
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:10,000
When you pray in tongues, you're praying according to the will of God.
417
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:14,000
And this is the confidence that we have in him.
418
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:22,000
If we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.
419
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:26,000
And if we know he hears us, we know we have the petitions we desire.
420
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:31,000
Praying in the Holy Ghost is praying according to the will of God.
421
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,000
Not our own will for our children.
422
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:39,000
But praying in the Holy Ghost is praying exactly what needs to be prayed for our children.
423
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,000
Because we're praying out of purpose.
424
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,000
We're praying out of destiny.
425
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,000
We're praying out of eternity.
426
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,000
Things we don't know about our children, the Holy Ghost knows.
427
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,000
Because he searches the hearts.
428
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,000
He knows what is the mind of the spirit.
429
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:57,000
So when we pray in the Holy Ghost, we speak not unto men but unto God.
430
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:06,000
And we're praying out the mystery that which is hid from you regarding your children is being prayed out with precision.
431
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:14,000
Thank you, Lord.
432
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:17,000
So that's the power of a praying parent.
433
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,000
Let's stand.
434
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,000
That was a mouthful.
435
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:31,000
Let me just say, I'm going to tell you what happened today.
436
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,000
I carry something.
437
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,000
That's why God sent me here today.
438
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,000
I carry this an anointing.
439
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,000
I have a measure.
440
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:41,000
Everybody's got a measure.
441
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:42,000
Pastor has a measure.
442
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,000
Some of the leaders here, we all have our measure.
443
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:46,000
I have a measure.
444
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:56,000
When you hear the word of God through this vessel, that which is in me went right into you.
445
00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:00,000
My words will not return void.
446
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:05,000
Number one, we also prayed for God to anoint you with fresh oil.
447
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,000
He did that.
448
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:11,000
Number two, the words that we spoke went into you.
449
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:14,000
And it's going to produce fruit in your prayer lives.
450
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:17,000
If you could just go ahead and start to play.
451
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,000
I want to see which direction he's going to have me go.
452
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,000
A lot of people aren't filled with the Holy Ghost.
453
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,000
That's quite interesting.
454
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,000
Because people have neglected tongues, they don't understand.
455
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:28,000
That's a whole other teaching.
456
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,000
I have one church I'm in relationship with.
457
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:37,000
About every 12 to 15 months, he says, could you come in and teach on the baptism of the Holy Spirit
458
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,000
and the next time teach on white tongues?
459
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:46,000
I don't know when I got filled with the Holy Ghost, I started speaking in tongues and I never stopped.
460
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,000
I didn't even need a lot of teaching.
461
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:52,000
I just knew that the Holy Ghost gave me this language.
462
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:57,000
And it's a language that goes beyond any language that is on this earth.
463
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,000
And it goes right into the heart of God.
464
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,000
From my heart to his heart produces results.
465
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:05,000
So this is what we're going to do.
466
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,000
I'm going to ask everyone to close their eyes.
467
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:13,000
Thank you, Lord.
468
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,000
I want you to lift your hands.
469
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:22,000
Can you feel, can you sense?
470
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:27,000
There's a wave of the Holy Ghost hovering over you.
471
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,000
Say this with me.
472
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:36,000
Heavenly Father, I believe that Jesus Christ
473
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:39,000
is the Son of God.
474
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:43,000
I believe he rose from the dead
475
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:49,000
so that I could have life and life more abundantly.
476
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:53,000
So Jesus, I'm asking you today
477
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:58,000
to come into my heart and be the Lord of my life.
478
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:02,000
Jesus, I make you Lord.
479
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:06,000
Today, Lord of my life.
480
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:12,000
And now, Holy Ghost, I'm asking you to rise up within me.
481
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:16,000
I'm asking you to come upon me.
482
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:23,000
I'm asking you, Lord Jesus, to baptize me with the Holy Ghost.
483
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:28,000
And I will, I will begin to speak
484
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:32,000
with other tongues as you give me utterance.
485
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:35,000
Let's just go ahead and pray in the Holy Ghost for a moment.
486
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,000
Thank you so much for tuning in to today's podcast.
