Reviving the Call to United Prayer: A Vision for the Body of Christ Part 2

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,240
You pray it and he can answer it.

2
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:06,040
The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man

3
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:07,640
avails much.

4
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:11,040
God will put the prayer in your heart to pray

5
00:00:11,040 --> 00:00:12,320
so that he can answer it.

6
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:14,080
Goes into the hearts of the people,

7
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:17,120
doesn't return void, it produces results.

8
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:21,960
They prayed out loud.

9
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:25,240
They prayed for boldness.

10
00:00:25,240 --> 00:00:28,160
They prayed in a known tongue

11
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:29,560
because we know the Bible says

12
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,160
they prayed for signs and wonders and boldness.

13
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:36,080
Now, did they pray in an unknown tongue or tongues?

14
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,080
We don't know because the Bible doesn't tell us,

15
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,920
but what we do know is that they were filled

16
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,720
with the Holy Ghost, Acts 2, 1-3-4,

17
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:45,840
and they were speaking in tongues.

18
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:49,840
Doesn't say it, but I love getting a whole group of people

19
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:54,220
in a room and having everyone pray in tongues.

20
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:56,360
How did they pray?

21
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,860
They prayed for signs and wonders

22
00:00:58,860 --> 00:01:00,560
and they prayed for miracles.

23
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:03,880
So we are contending for a revival

24
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:05,240
and a spiritual awakening.

25
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:07,520
And I'm gonna briefly get into this.

26
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:11,960
Revival and awakening, they're often used interchangeably,

27
00:01:11,960 --> 00:01:14,640
but an awakening takes place

28
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:18,040
when God sovereignly pours out his spirit

29
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,400
and impacts a culture.

30
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:24,100
A revival is, on the other hand,

31
00:01:24,100 --> 00:01:26,480
what a church must experience.

32
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,000
And I believe we need both.

33
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:33,260
Interesting, we are the West Coast Zoom, correct?

34
00:01:33,260 --> 00:01:35,120
One spiritual awakening,

35
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,660
this is the one that the Lord had me highlight,

36
00:01:38,660 --> 00:01:42,600
and I forgot we were the West Coast Zoom, Love and Unity.

37
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:47,100
One spiritual awakening in America was the Jesus Movement.

38
00:01:47,100 --> 00:01:50,960
This movement began on the West Coast of the United States

39
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:55,100
in the late 1960s and in the early 70s.

40
00:01:55,100 --> 00:01:58,440
It spread, and I like that word spread.

41
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:03,440
It spread primarily throughout North America,

42
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,720
Europe and Central America

43
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,960
before subsiding by the late 1980s.

44
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:11,620
This is what I love about this.

45
00:02:11,620 --> 00:02:14,160
And this is what I believe God is going to,

46
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,420
is in the process of birthing right now.

47
00:02:17,420 --> 00:02:21,040
There was no singular person who stands out

48
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,220
as the face of this movement.

49
00:02:23,220 --> 00:02:27,160
There are only person who stood out

50
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,120
was the person of Jesus Christ.

51
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:35,120
It was a faceless revival, restoration, movement.

52
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:40,660
It was one face, and it was the face of Jesus Christ.

53
00:02:40,660 --> 00:02:42,620
And I believe that that's,

54
00:02:42,620 --> 00:02:47,360
I believe that that's what God is desiring to do

55
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,760
in our latter days,

56
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:51,220
the glory of the latter house

57
00:02:51,220 --> 00:02:53,280
being greater than the former.

58
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:58,280
And I hope that this last move of God

59
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,580
will be the move of God that will usher in

60
00:03:00,580 --> 00:03:02,560
the second coming of Jesus.

61
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,920
Kenneth E. Hagen once, he said it many times,

62
00:03:04,920 --> 00:03:07,420
actually I heard him say it, he said it in his book.

63
00:03:07,420 --> 00:03:11,640
The Spirit, Jesus told him that before he comes,

64
00:03:11,640 --> 00:03:16,080
that there's going to be one more major move of God,

65
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:17,360
and then Jesus is gonna come.

66
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,640
I know no one knows the day or the hour,

67
00:03:19,640 --> 00:03:23,720
but he said there's going to be one major move of God

68
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:27,480
that is going to usher in one of the greatest revivals

69
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:28,600
the earth has ever seen.

70
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,480
I believe that that's when Jesus is gonna come.

71
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,800
Because Jesus did tell Brother Hagen

72
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,800
that he was called from the heart of the Father

73
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:42,160
to prepare the way for the second coming

74
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,360
of the Lord Jesus Christ.

75
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,740
So we don't know, all we know is we're contending

76
00:03:47,740 --> 00:03:49,240
for this move of God.

77
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:53,080
But someone or some people had to be praying.

78
00:03:54,420 --> 00:03:57,680
Prayer opens up the door for God to work.

79
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:02,200
We are co-labors together with God.

80
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,960
Now lastly, I woke up with this this morning,

81
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:09,320
and then God just wouldn't let me get away from it.

82
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:14,320
I'm gonna read out of Genesis 11, one through eight.

83
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,200
And it just, over and over, I just kept hearing

84
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,600
this scripture, and this is where we're gonna close.

85
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:25,600
Now the whole earth had one language and one speech.

86
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,240
And it came to pass as they journeyed from the east,

87
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,000
they found a plain in the land of Shinar,

88
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:33,720
and they dwelt there.

89
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,800
And they said to one another,

90
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:41,000
come, let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly.

91
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,640
They had brick for stone and they had asphalt for mortar.

92
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,880
And they said, they were speaking their vision.

93
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:52,880
Let us come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower

94
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:55,960
whose top is in the heavens,

95
00:04:55,960 --> 00:05:00,200
and let us make a name for ourselves.

96
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:05,000
Lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.

97
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,760
But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower

98
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:09,840
which the sons of men had built.

99
00:05:09,840 --> 00:05:14,200
And the Lord said, indeed, the people are one.

100
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,160
And they all have one language.

101
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,640
And this they begin to do.

102
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,360
Now nothing they have proposed to do

103
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,600
will be withheld from them.

104
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,040
And then God came down and you know the story,

105
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:33,600
he confused their language and they did not understand

106
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,880
one another's speech and then the Lord scattered them.

107
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,400
This is a negative scenario, right?

108
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:40,880
They were building a tower.

109
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,160
They were building the tower

110
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,200
and they were building it for themselves, negative situation.

111
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,440
But let's look at this in the light of

112
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,240
the corporate united prayer, corporate prayer,

113
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,160
unity of vision, unity of speech.

114
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:58,160
First of all, God said because of their unity of vision

115
00:05:58,160 --> 00:05:59,920
and their unity of speech,

116
00:05:59,920 --> 00:06:04,520
he said nothing will be impossible to them.

117
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:09,520
Now our desire is not to build anything for ourselves, right?

118
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,160
We wanna build, we're building, we wanna build,

119
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:17,160
we wanna work with God in establishing his kingdom, okay?

120
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:23,600
What would happen if we all gathered together?

121
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,640
We were all speaking the same thing.

122
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,000
We are of one mind, one accord.

123
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,840
We had one vision and we wanted to see God's will

124
00:06:31,840 --> 00:06:32,880
established on the earth.

125
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:37,720
What if we all came together and we all prayed together,

126
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:42,280
specifically even prayed together in tongues?

127
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:48,520
I believe tongues is the universal language.

128
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:53,040
It is the language of heaven.

129
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:54,840
And when we all come together,

130
00:06:54,840 --> 00:06:56,680
we all have different personalities,

131
00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:00,600
we all have different dialects, so to speak of tongues,

132
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:05,600
but that language of the spirit is a universal language.

133
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,840
And I believe as we begin to gather together

134
00:07:07,840 --> 00:07:12,840
in corporate prayer, I believe nothing will be impossible

135
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,840
to us, which we have imagined to do,

136
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,640
especially when we pray from our seated place.

137
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,720
Because when we pray in tongues,

138
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,520
we're praying from a place of being blessed,

139
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,640
we're praying from a place of being redeemed,

140
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,120
we're praying from a place of love and unity,

141
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,120
we're praying from a place of being an ambassador

142
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:35,680
in Christ.

143
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,440
So I just wanna propose that I believe

144
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,920
that God is bringing a restoration and a renewal

145
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,920
to corporate United Prayer because he wants us together

146
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:47,760
to call upon him.

147
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:49,920
And he said, I'm gonna answer you

148
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:53,920
and I'm gonna show you great and mighty things.

149
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:55,160
God bless you.

150
00:07:58,800 --> 00:07:59,640
Amen.

151
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:02,480
If you ain't gonna answer,

152
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,760
I mean, if you ain't got wind in your sail right now,

153
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:07,600
you don't have a sail.

154
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,120
This ought to put something to you with prayer right now.

155
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:11,600
I'm serious.

156
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,960
Absolutely, absolutely.

157
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:17,640
There's a lot that you said here

158
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:22,640
that should stir up everybody here in LNU

159
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,560
and it should bring a holy conviction,

160
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:31,800
a holy conviction that they do join in prayer.

161
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:35,600
And I know our leaders are on here

162
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,680
and they all join in prayer.

163
00:08:37,680 --> 00:08:41,920
And that's such a blessing, but we want more.

164
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:48,520
We want all to join and be encouraged and inspired

165
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,920
and add their tongue, absolutely.

166
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:54,440
That's powerful, amen.

167
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:58,640
So we're gonna go ahead and open this up for comments,

168
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,720
questions, anything that people have,

169
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:03,680
people want to say here.

170
00:09:03,680 --> 00:09:05,920
Awesome, Apostle Eddie.

171
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,200
Thank you, thank you, Margie, hallelujah.

172
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:13,880
There's so much that you said there,

173
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:18,880
I think that we could tear apart and eat and eat and eat,

174
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:24,080
especially when it comes to building us up to pray.

175
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,320
But you asked a question at the very beginning

176
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,800
I think is very important is why,

177
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,960
why people are not coming to prayer?

178
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:37,880
Why does the body not want to properly come together?

179
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,000
And not too long ago, I did a little study on it

180
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,800
and I found that every time people stop praying

181
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:48,400
is because things got out of order, things got out of order.

182
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,760
Every time the church gets out of order

183
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:54,160
and out of alignment to what God is doing,

184
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:57,640
the people lose heart to pray.

185
00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,320
They don't wanna pray.

186
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,480
But when things get back into alignment

187
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,680
and come back into order,

188
00:10:03,680 --> 00:10:06,200
then there becomes an excitement to pray again.

189
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,160
There becomes a desire to seek the face of God.

190
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:12,720
There becomes a desire to unify behind prayer.

191
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:16,560
And I think we're in a place where the church is shifting

192
00:10:16,560 --> 00:10:18,360
out of a place that it's been

193
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,240
into a place that God's taken it to.

194
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,320
So he's adjusting leadership,

195
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,920
he's adjusting systems and strategies,

196
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:29,480
he's adjusting us coming back to the pattern

197
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:30,600
that Christ attended.

198
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:34,360
So there's a reformation going on in the church

199
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,640
and is reforming us back to the original position

200
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,680
because you can't have powerful prayer

201
00:10:41,560 --> 00:10:43,680
and then direct that power

202
00:10:43,680 --> 00:10:45,440
to everything that's out of order.

203
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:51,640
So you gotta direct power to things that are in order

204
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,720
or like instance electricity.

205
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:57,720
I can't have power turned on from Edison,

206
00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:59,320
that's what I have here.

207
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:03,120
If all my wiring is not in order

208
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:04,800
because I'll have an explosion,

209
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:08,400
I'll have a fire that will burn the building up.

210
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:12,560
And I think an order for power, which comes from prayer

211
00:11:12,560 --> 00:11:15,320
to really move upon the church,

212
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,560
the church needs to get in order.

213
00:11:17,560 --> 00:11:19,600
The church needs to get into alignment.

214
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,800
The church needs to come back to kingdom order.

215
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:24,960
And I believe when we do that, you're right.

216
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,480
We are gonna see a latter day move of God in the earth,

217
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,360
greater than the former.

218
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,880
And it's gonna be powerful, so powerful

219
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,680
that we are gonna see building shake.

220
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,960
We are gonna see things tremble.

221
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,760
We're gonna see hearts run to the altar

222
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:45,600
because their heart,

223
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,640
hardness of heart is just gonna melt before them

224
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:49,800
and they're gonna repent

225
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:53,480
and they're gonna begin to hunger and thirst for God.

226
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,600
But things have to come back to order.

227
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,160
And I believe that's the season we're in right now,

228
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:03,120
alignment, order, God bringing us back

229
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:07,040
to true New Testament pattern,

230
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:11,480
bringing us back to true five-fold ministry functioning.

231
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:15,640
Cause you remember in Acts 2.42, he talks about this.

232
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,320
He says that they continue steadfastly

233
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,680
in apostles doctrine and fellowship,

234
00:12:21,680 --> 00:12:24,800
breaking bread and in prayers.

235
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:26,320
If there's no breaking bread,

236
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,640
which means that we come to a place

237
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,440
to come into oneness with each other.

238
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,680
If there's not a steadfast desire

239
00:12:34,680 --> 00:12:39,280
to come into apostolic doctrine, which sets the order,

240
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,920
then we don't desire prayer.

241
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:47,400
Prayer comes when hearts are in order with God,

242
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,280
when people are in alignment with God,

243
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:54,560
a hunger to seek the face of God begins to be established.

244
00:12:54,560 --> 00:12:55,640
And I'll close with this.

245
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,720
I know in my personal life,

246
00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:59,880
when things were out of order,

247
00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:01,240
I didn't wanna be in prayer.

248
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,560
I didn't wanna go and pray and seek the Lord.

249
00:13:05,560 --> 00:13:07,680
But the moment I got things in order

250
00:13:07,680 --> 00:13:11,200
and my heart got right and my attitude got right

251
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,280
and my love for God got right,

252
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,440
then I desired to pray.

253
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,160
I wanted to be in the presence of God.

254
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,080
I wanted to seek his face.

255
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:21,960
So I think part of the answer

256
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,760
is God is bringing his church back to order.

257
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,160
And I'm seeing it in our own church.

258
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:30,040
More and more people are coming to prayer

259
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,640
because there's order coming to the house.

260
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:34,840
There's alignment coming to the house.

261
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,880
Alignment and order always brings unity

262
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:41,560
and unity begins to create a thirst and a hunger

263
00:13:41,560 --> 00:13:43,520
for the things of God, hallelujah.

264
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:44,840
So thank you, Margie,

265
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:48,400
for encouraging us to pray just to let everybody know.

266
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,240
We're gonna be starting a monthly prayer

267
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:54,880
for Love and Unity where Margie will lead us

268
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:59,200
in a Love and Unity corporate prayer once a month.

269
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,560
And we'll be talking about that soon

270
00:14:01,560 --> 00:14:04,760
so we could get this prayer that she's talking about today,

271
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:06,640
moving and rolling, hallelujah.

272
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,560
Because it is so, so important,

273
00:14:09,560 --> 00:14:12,600
especially where we're at today in the body of Christ.

274
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:16,320
So thank you, Margie, so much for encouraging us today

275
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,400
and bringing such good word to us today.

276
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:19,280
Blessings.

277
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:20,600
Thank you, Apostle Eddie.

278
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:28,120
Excellent, excellent.

279
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:29,640
Well, there's so much in that.

280
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:31,880
We could be unwrapping some good things here.

281
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:35,040
Apostle Cal.

282
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:40,040
Well, first of all, I would not expect anything less

283
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:43,920
from Margie than what she's done today.

284
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:47,920
She's hungry for this thing.

285
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:51,240
She's gone after it and this has been her passion.

286
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:53,400
I think one of the most difficult things

287
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,720
that we must face, the truth about,

288
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,200
is our leaders don't pray.

289
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,240
Most of our leaders don't have a prayer life.

290
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:02,080
Right.

291
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,160
So when you say, let's get the church together in prayer,

292
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:06,440
you may have to stop and say,

293
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,880
let's get the leaders to pray.

294
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:10,680
And because the leaders don't pray,

295
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,360
because they're too busy doing church anity,

296
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:18,360
that the saints of God don't see it as a priority.

297
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:22,840
However, if there's a revival or awakening

298
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,160
among our leaders, something significant

299
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,040
is going to happen, Apostle Eddie.

300
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,480
I am not sure that there's a revival

301
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:36,480
I asked, we were on prayer mountain this weekend.

302
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:38,640
And one of the things I asked the group to do,

303
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,400
and we were packed, it was packed out, Apostle Eddie.

304
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:46,320
And even Josh came from Texas.

305
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,440
People came from Las Vegas.

306
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:49,920
It was powerful.

307
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:53,520
And I asked them to do me a favor.

308
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:57,280
I said, before I pass on to this other side of this,

309
00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:00,000
could I be in a meeting of one accord?

310
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,360
Just one time where everybody pays attention

311
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,720
to the instructions and participate.

312
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:09,720
And participate, and I mean, we broke a cord,

313
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:15,200
ladies and gentlemen, we had a breakthrough.

314
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:19,320
We had a gully washer breakthrough.

315
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,480
Somehow or another, we were able to put away

316
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:26,200
all of our agendas and come together and one accord.

317
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,880
It was amazing to me.

318
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:30,760
I'm still vibrating from it.

319
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,480
And I think that that was just guys showing us

320
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:38,360
that to pray for those who don't have a prayer life,

321
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:41,120
to pray for our leadership, you know what we've done?

322
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,360
We really don't pray for leaders.

323
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:44,560
We criticize them.

324
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:45,640
We tear them down.

325
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:47,160
We find fault in them.

326
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:51,440
But I asked somebody on Sunday, who has wept for me?

327
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:56,120
Who has seen my back instead of stabbing me,

328
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,160
prayed for the back they saw?

329
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,600
Prayed for me, laid down their life for their brother.

330
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:02,680
Because if you do that,

331
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,080
I will be the greatest leader you've ever seen.

332
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,240
I will manifest leadership on a level

333
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,400
that no person has ever seen yet.

334
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,360
If the saints will pray for the leadership.

335
00:17:14,360 --> 00:17:17,680
And the leadership stops being so busy

336
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:19,680
that our prayer life is 10 minutes.

337
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,600
And when we do pray, we got 50 other thoughts on our mind

338
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,040
that we need to take care of that day.

339
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:26,880
Oh, did I take the milk out the refrigerator?

340
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,560
Oh my God, I got, oops, my God.

341
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:31,200
I got all these things to do.

342
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,520
And God says, I give you my undivided attention.

343
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:35,920
When will you give me yours?

344
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,760
And I'll leave it at that right there.

345
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,080
I think we need to really ask God

346
00:17:44,360 --> 00:17:47,160
to give us the capacity and the grace.

347
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,880
That when we come to Him, He's the only thing on our mind.

348
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,440
Nothing, no one, but Him.

349
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:54,240
And I think we're gonna see

350
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:57,200
some tremendous breakthroughs of Apostle Eddie

351
00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:00,680
and Prophet Marky, I really believe that.

352
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:04,440
I'm so proud of you for spearheading this thing.

353
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:06,280
Love you.

354
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:08,280
Thank you.

355
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:11,440
It's interesting, isn't it?

356
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,120
When you step into prayer,

357
00:18:13,120 --> 00:18:15,000
suddenly you can remember everything.

358
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:17,120
Your mind gets your sharp.

359
00:18:17,120 --> 00:18:17,960
Your memories just sharp.

360
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,120
It's like, oh my gosh.

361
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:22,880
You talk about milk in the refrigerator?

362
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:24,240
No, I mean everything.

363
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:25,920
Next thing you know, you got a notepad out,

364
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:27,360
take and stick them and put them on

365
00:18:27,360 --> 00:18:28,440
so you'll remember them later.

366
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:30,040
Well, what's your mind on it now?

367
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:34,280
You gotta have a prayer that is totally,

368
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,920
and you're right, centrally focused.

369
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:38,160
And it takes discipline.

370
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,760
You gotta bring your mind back to it periodically.

371
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:42,520
You gotta say, listen, there it goes again.

372
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:43,400
It's wandering.

373
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:44,360
Get it back.

374
00:18:44,360 --> 00:18:47,040
And I'll tell you, in doing so,

375
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,320
you'll begin to come into a new prayer chamber.

376
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,600
You'll come into a new place.

377
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,960
You'll begin to see results in a different way.

378
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:56,680
And the only distraction you have

379
00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:01,040
is not your earthly, your temporal life,

380
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,360
but the beauties and the things that are going on

381
00:19:03,360 --> 00:19:07,480
in the spirit that's actually bringing changes

382
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:09,280
to your situations.

383
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:10,760
But that's absolutely right.

384
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,040
And like I said, it's weird how your brain suddenly,

385
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:14,760
you can't remember diddly.

386
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,200
And then you get in prayer and suddenly,

387
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:21,600
I mean everything from noises and different distractions.

388
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:23,840
You just gotta shut it all out and get to it.

389
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:26,920
Pastor Sharp.

390
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:33,720
I certainly enjoyed the message today and the challenge.

391
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:38,160
And what struck me was the emphasis that you had

392
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:42,400
on praying in tongues, praying in the spirit,

393
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:47,400
because I've been just that emphasis,

394
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,800
I've just been sensing that more and more.

395
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,640
And a thought that really struck me was is that

396
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:59,000
we're praying in a language that the Father gave us.

397
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:05,520
He gave us that language to pray to Him when we need to.

398
00:20:06,120 --> 00:20:07,640
We don't need our mind.

399
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:10,880
We just need to pray in the spirit.

400
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:12,480
And I so agree with you.

401
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,560
And it's one of the things that I'm doing now,

402
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,280
even in our prayer meetings,

403
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,680
is trying to get us not to come with an agenda,

404
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:23,360
but begin to pray in the spirit for a time

405
00:20:23,360 --> 00:20:25,040
before we even start,

406
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,400
we start the meeting with praying in the spirit.

407
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:31,040
And then that sets the agenda for what we want.

408
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,480
And so I appreciated that emphasis,

409
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:35,680
because that's what the church needs.

410
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:39,800
And people have not wanted to do that for a long time.

411
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,080
We have to speak in English so we understand.

412
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:46,120
No, we need to pray so that the Father knows our heart.

413
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,160
So thank you.

414
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:51,000
God bless you.

415
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:56,440
Prophet would love to have your comment there.

416
00:20:56,440 --> 00:21:01,040
I just wanna say like one thing, many things,

417
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,560
but one of the major things that I learned

418
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,200
when I was doing the KIU events,

419
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,600
when we were gathering the churches

420
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:13,280
and people were coming and I would have a teaching

421
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,680
and there was such an anointing on the teaching

422
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,200
and then people wouldn't pray.

423
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:21,560
They'd fizzle out after 15 minutes and I just expected them.

424
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:23,680
Can I just say it?

425
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:25,760
Just to do what I said.

426
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:28,440
Just do it the way I taught you to do it.

427
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:29,360
Right?

428
00:21:29,360 --> 00:21:33,040
And I just realized, I spoke to a friend of mine,

429
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,280
Mary Alice Islow, and I said,

430
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,640
I've been asked to lead corporate prayer again.

431
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:39,680
This was like three years ago.

432
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:41,040
And I just said to her,

433
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:42,800
I'm not sure I really wanna do it again

434
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:44,400
because it's not easy.

435
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:48,120
And she said, Margie, you gotta tell them.

436
00:21:48,120 --> 00:21:50,120
Like somebody said,

437
00:21:50,120 --> 00:21:52,160
you have distractions coming at your mind.

438
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:55,280
Okay, shut your mind off, hook yourself up to the inside.

439
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:56,760
Oh, do you sense that?

440
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:58,880
There's that heaviness is coming in the room.

441
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,760
That's not you, that's resistance.

442
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:05,640
She taught me that you have to teach people

443
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:09,280
what they're feeling, how they're feeling, what it is.

444
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,360
And if you get distractions,

445
00:22:12,360 --> 00:22:15,160
if you sense people are going off and they're not engaged,

446
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:16,360
bring them back.

447
00:22:16,360 --> 00:22:18,080
So I learned that.

448
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,040
I learned by my mistake

449
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:23,840
that people are not just gonna automatically enter in,

450
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:26,120
you have to lead them in.

451
00:22:26,120 --> 00:22:27,920
So that was something I learned.

452
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:29,600
I wanted to share that with you.

453
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,000
Could I ask Margie a question?

454
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:36,480
Margie, as you travel and you're teaching on prayer,

455
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:40,400
what is your thoughts?

456
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:44,080
Are we moving and transitioning into something

457
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,360
that's gonna look a little different

458
00:22:46,360 --> 00:22:48,280
than what we've experienced in the past

459
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:50,160
when it comes to prayer?

460
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:53,440
Or is it gonna be the same old type of prayers

461
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:54,880
that we've been praying for years?

462
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:59,520
Do you see anything new that God is talking to you about

463
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:03,520
that we must transition into when it comes to prayer

464
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,760
as something maybe we have not done in the past?

465
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:11,760
What I was raised where you pray in tongues a lot.

466
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:15,440
I saw Kennedy Hagan pray in tongues for 40 minutes

467
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,880
and that's how I learned how to pray.

468
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:22,560
And what I saw after I had my three kids in one year,

469
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:25,680
took some time off, came back into prayer meetings

470
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:29,720
was that people weren't praying in tongues anymore.

471
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:31,560
I'm just gonna be honest.

472
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:35,560
They were decreeing, declaring, and yes, speak the word.

473
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,200
Say what the Bible says, decree, declare,

474
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:39,920
opening up their Bibles.

475
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,920
They weren't getting lost in the spirit anymore.

476
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:44,200
They weren't entering in

477
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,560
and flowing from the inside out.

478
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:51,200
They were just in their Bibles.

479
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,080
One person was doing something over here,

480
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:54,440
that one's doing something over there.

481
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,640
They were decreeing, declaring.

482
00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:00,240
What I personally would like to see come back to the church

483
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:05,240
is us being unified, where we're praying in tongues together,

484
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:09,240
where there's more tongues, more praying in the Holy Ghost.

485
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:10,480
Because if you think about it,

486
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,360
Jesus spoke often about the Holy Spirit, right?

487
00:24:13,360 --> 00:24:15,160
200 something times.

488
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,240
And then when the Holy Spirit was finally poured out,

489
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,480
what was the first thing that manifested?

490
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:22,560
They all began to speak with other tongues

491
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:24,040
as the spirit gave their mantras.

492
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:27,120
So this praying in tongues goes beyond,

493
00:24:27,120 --> 00:24:28,800
not beyond the word of God,

494
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:32,880
but it goes beyond anything we can think of in our heads,

495
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,680
in our minds, and it's spirit to spirit.

496
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:37,640
It's the language of heaven.

497
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:41,680
And I really believe that God wants to restore tongues

498
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:43,480
back to our prayer meetings.

499
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:45,560
So we get out of our heads.

500
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:47,960
And then what I've seen in our meetings too,

501
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:49,920
in the corporate prayer meetings is,

502
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,320
tongues and interpretation of tongues.

503
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:54,760
You can get so lost in the spirit

504
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:59,080
that you find yourself saying a word in English.

505
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:02,080
You find yourself praying out of scripture.

506
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,920
And I would really like to see the church get back

507
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:08,600
to the anointing in prayer, where there's an anointing,

508
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,920
but we're just not, you know, we're not there yet.

509
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:12,720
You have to train them.

510
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:13,640
That's what I've learned.

511
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:27,800
You have to train people literally by demonstrating it.

512
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:32,160
Again, Lodin, we tell people,

513
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,720
have an expectancy when you go into prayer.

514
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:36,560
If you're just gonna go in and pray in the spirit

515
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:38,920
and let your mind and heart get distracted,

516
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,320
then it will do exactly that.

517
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:43,320
We bring in a tablet and set it down

518
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:46,720
and because I expect him to communicate to me.

519
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:49,160
I expect that.

520
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:50,440
And you're so right.

521
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,640
There's times when, you know, people say,

522
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:54,320
well, what was said in prayer?

523
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,920
And it's like, out of tongues comes English.

524
00:25:57,920 --> 00:25:59,640
So I will pray with my understanding

525
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:01,480
and I will pray with my spirit.

526
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:05,440
And I can't even begin to tell unless I write it down.

527
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,240
And I don't know about everybody else.

528
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:08,160
I'm not that gifted.

529
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:11,120
I can't write and speak in the spirit at the same time.

530
00:26:11,120 --> 00:26:12,920
It just doesn't work.

531
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,280
So I've got to take just a moment and reflect on it

532
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:18,280
and it'll come out in English differently.

533
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:20,280
It's not pre-planned.

534
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:23,360
It's praying out of that spiritual resource.

535
00:26:23,360 --> 00:26:25,200
And it takes time.

536
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:28,280
There's been times where I've had to be speaking

537
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,720
in the spirit for 30, 45 minutes an hour

538
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,040
before things start to shift and change.

539
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:35,840
Before I finally get my brain to shut up

540
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,560
and begin to really focus on what Father is speaking,

541
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:41,880
either to me or about different situations,

542
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,720
I had to get myself out of the way.

543
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,280
And sometimes it just takes that amount of time

544
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:48,880
before that'll happen.

545
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,640
But that's really good.

546
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,000
Spontaneous English, can we say it that way?

547
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:56,640
It just comes out by the spirit.

548
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:58,160
It's different.

549
00:26:58,160 --> 00:26:59,000
It's different.

550
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:03,200
Well, it's like the Bible says,

551
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,000
he that speaks in an unknown tongue

552
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,840
speaks not unto men, but unto God.

553
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:09,520
So when you're speaking in tongues,

554
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:10,960
you're speaking unto God,

555
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,360
your spirit by the Holy Spirit within you.

556
00:27:13,360 --> 00:27:17,840
Out of your spirit comes that word.

557
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:19,600
Like you form the words, right?

558
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:21,320
When you pray in tongues,

559
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:23,440
you form that English word.

560
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:27,280
And it's a clue into the mystery of what you were praying.

561
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,920
So the other thing I wanted to share is that

562
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:32,240
in leading corporate prayer,

563
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:36,000
I also learned that if you get a burden inside,

564
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:37,760
that burden of intercession

565
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,480
that you sometimes, sometimes get,

566
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:42,680
I've learned you gotta teach people

567
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:43,880
to still stop praying.

568
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,880
And they'll look at me like, what is this?

569
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:50,000
And I'll say to them, do you feel that on the inside?

570
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,800
And they'll be like, yes.

571
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,240
And I'll say, well, that's a burden from the Holy Spirit.

572
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:56,560
It's a prayer burden.

573
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:58,160
Let's pray that out.

574
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:01,600
Kind of like a mother just leading their children.

575
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:03,680
And that's really what people need right now.

576
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:07,280
They need to learn, Lord, teach us to pray.

577
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:11,120
Precept an example.

578
00:28:11,120 --> 00:28:13,960
