1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:12,000
The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much God will put the prayer in your heart to pray so that he can answer it.

2
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:17,000
It goes into the hearts of the people. Does it return void? It produces results.

3
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:25,000
I told Don, I said, when I first saw him after 30 years, I said, I think I remember you from Reema.

4
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:31,000
You were tall and skinny, and you had black hair.

5
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:39,000
Sure enough, I looked him up, and there he was, said, screen shots. You could be seated.

6
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:45,000
Before we get into the word, I just want to introduce a couple of books.

7
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:53,000
I thought that this particular book, Decision Time, The Place and the Prayer of Surrender,

8
00:00:53,000 --> 00:01:00,000
this book was birthed when I turned 50, and I wasn't quite sure I wanted to continue in ministry,

9
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:07,000
because I knew the things that go on when you're in ministry, and I thought, I think I'm just going to retire.

10
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:14,000
And I was fighting God for about three months, and I was at a workout class,

11
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:21,000
and when we laid down on the mat to do the stretching, I surrendered to God.

12
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:25,000
And I said, not my will, your will be done in my life.

13
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:31,000
So I really like that book. I also like the title and the book cover.

14
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:35,000
That's actually my daughter-in-law, my son took that picture.

15
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:39,000
Then my recent book, Contend, Stewarding the Hearts and Destiny of Our Children Through Prayer,

16
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:45,000
this is everything that I know personally about praying for our kids,

17
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:51,000
and the things I've been learning throughout the years about prayer and put it into the book.

18
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,000
This is one of my most recent books.

19
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,000
And then I have these little prayer cards if you want, they're free.

20
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,000
It's Prayer of Protection for America.

21
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,000
So I just want to give you that.

22
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:09,000
So before I get into the word, I was thinking about you, Brian,

23
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,000
and I was thinking about your church.

24
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:18,000
And there's a scripture that says that He causes our thoughts to become agreeable with His thoughts,

25
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:23,000
and then our plans succeed. Am I sounding funny from this mic? Are we good?

26
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:32,000
So I also have a prayer that I pray, Lord, give me the wisdom to discern what is in my own heart and mind,

27
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,000
and what is in your heart and mind.

28
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:39,000
And I believe that I was thinking the thoughts of God, not knowing that you were going to be here today.

29
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:47,000
And the Lord reminded me last week of a word that He gave me for your church,

30
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:54,000
and it was that your house would be called not just a house of prayer, but a house of miracles.

31
00:02:54,000 --> 00:03:00,000
So I think that what I would encourage you to do in Antoinette is to pray into that.

32
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:12,000
Find out the strategy, find out how we can move into that, which you've already proclaimed over our church and our ministry.

33
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,000
Because He said you are a house of miracles.

34
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:21,000
Well, praise God. It's good to be here. Everybody good?

35
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,000
Thank you.

36
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,000
Thank you, Jesus.

37
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:34,000
Well, the theme is Manifest Christ, and I'm going to go ahead and launch out of Galatians 2.20 that says,

38
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:46,000
I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me, the life that I now live in the body.

39
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:55,000
I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. Galatians 1.27 says,

40
00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:03,000
to them God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is what?

41
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:07,000
Christ in you, the hope of glory.

42
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:13,000
And with that being said, the theme is Manifesting Christ.

43
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:22,000
Now, I'm going to go into a message that I'm calling Three Dimensions of Prayer, and I'm going to end,

44
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:26,000
which I got to set my timer because I don't want to preach the whole time.

45
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:38,000
I'm going to end with a subject that God wants to bring to this region, not only to this region,

46
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:43,000
wherever this gospel is going, because we know we're being live streamed, we know this is going on a podcast,

47
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,000
we know this is going on Kingdom First TV.

48
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:53,000
But I want to talk about the Three Dimensions of Prayer, and with that being said, 1 John 4.17 says,

49
00:04:53,000 --> 00:05:00,000
as He is, as Christ is, so are we in this world.

50
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,000
So Christ is in us, the hope of glory, correct?

51
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:09,000
We are in the world, we're not of the world, but Christ is in us.

52
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:18,000
But if we look at it in the light of prayer, Christ is in us, and what is His ongoing ministry?

53
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:27,000
His ongoing ministry is a ministry of prayer, because He ever lives to make intercession.

54
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:36,000
But He does it with us, the Bible says we are co-lamers together with God, we are the house of prayer,

55
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:43,000
and when we pray, we are an expression of Christ in the earth.

56
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,000
Are you with me?

57
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:52,000
We manifest Christ when we release our prayers, no matter what the focus of our prayers are,

58
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:58,000
while in the body we manifest Christ when we pray.

59
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,000
Are you listening?

60
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:04,000
Jesus in His earthly ministry was a man of prayer.

61
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:11,000
He modeled prayer, He demonstrated prayer, He used His authority in prayer.

62
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:16,000
His life was a life of prayer.

63
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:27,000
And I believe that's what God has repeatedly been saying to us in the church, is that He wants our life to be a life of prayer.

64
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:36,000
And it's time for us to stir up the Jesus, the Christ, and manifest this life of prayer.

65
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:40,000
So Jesus was a man of prayer, and the scripture says it's proven.

66
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:45,000
He withdrew into what the Bible calls a solitary place.

67
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:54,000
A wilderness, and after He sent the multitudes away, He would go up to a mountain apart by Himself to pray.

68
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,000
And when the evening was calm, there He was alone.

69
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:07,000
The more famous He became, the more He withdrew, and He went up into the mountain, and He prayed.

70
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:17,000
Not only that, but we find the disciples watching Jesus and saying, there is a secret to your gifting and your calling and your anointing.

71
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:24,000
And they noticed that He would cast out devils, operate in the things of the Spirit, flow in the anointing.

72
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:29,000
And one day they realized that they needed to ask Him the most important question.

73
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:34,000
And that question was, Lord, teach us to pray.

74
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:40,000
And we know that the scripture says, the very first thing He did was, He introduced them to a father.

75
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:47,000
It was not Jehovah Jireh, Jehovah Nisi, Jehovah Sid K'nou, a God on a first name basis.

76
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:58,000
He introduced the disciples to intimacy with the Father, a connection with the Father, sons and daughters of God, and He is our Father.

77
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:05,000
So Isaiah 56-7 says, we are the house of prayer.

78
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:16,000
With the help of the Holy Spirit, the life we live in the body should reflect the ministry of Jesus who was a man of prayer.

79
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:20,000
Our prayers make a difference, amen?

80
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:24,000
And a lot of people aren't praying in this day and in this hour.

81
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:33,000
That's why the Holy Ghost has to keep saying it over and over and over and over again because we've let this slip.

82
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:40,000
And I think personally it's because we live in such a busy time, especially here in our region.

83
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,000
I mean, it's busy, busy, busy, busy.

84
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:47,000
We're on our phones, we have a lot to do, we have a personality.

85
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,000
This region has a personality.

86
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:56,000
We're movers, we're shakers, we drive black cars, we wear black clothes, we have dark hair.

87
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,000
I mean, it's just this whole like culture.

88
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:09,000
And I think that if we're not careful, we will neglect our prayer life and forsake Him, the fountain of living waters,

89
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,000
and become broken sisters that can hold no water.

90
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:20,000
You see, prayer is our lifeline to God, not only individually, but corporately as a body.

91
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,000
That's why the enemy doesn't want us to pray.

92
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:31,000
He doesn't want us to manifest that side of Christ in the earth because he knows that there's no prayer, there's no advancement.

93
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:35,000
There's no prayer, then the enemy comes in, right?

94
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:42,000
But it's time for us to seek the Lord because the East Coast has become like foul ground.

95
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:52,000
But God said, it's time for you to seek me so that I can break up the foul ground and so that I can reign righteousness upon this land.

96
00:09:52,000 --> 00:10:00,000
If you see that there's no water and you see there's not a demonstration of the power and the presence of God, God has an answer in the Word.

97
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:09,000
He said, if my people, my sons, my daughters would humble themselves and pray, seek my face, turn away from the distractions,

98
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:13,000
He said, I'll forgive their sin, I will heal their land.

99
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,000
So we've got to ramp up the prayer movement.

100
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,000
It's time for us to take our place.

101
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:22,000
It's time for us to stop being so busy, New Jersey.

102
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,000
I like what Apostle Eddie said.

103
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:29,000
He said, we're going to speak not only to one another.

104
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:33,000
We're speaking into the atmosphere and into the region.

105
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:39,000
And this word is going to go forth and it's creating faith in the hearts of the people.

106
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,000
Spiritual things are transferable.

107
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:46,000
So there's a transference that's going on in this region through this conference.

108
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:47,000
Okay?

109
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,000
So everything originates in prayer.

110
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:54,000
If you want to change something in the natural, you go to the Spirit.

111
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:59,000
1 Corinthians 3.9 says, we are co-labors with God.

112
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,000
He needs us just as much as we need Him.

113
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:09,000
He legally cannot do anything in this earth unless we pray.

114
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:10,000
Why is that?

115
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:14,000
Well, because God is not running everything in this world.

116
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:19,000
Satan is the God of this present world.

117
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:25,000
God does not have everything under control.

118
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,000
It's the praying Christian.

119
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:35,000
And it's us, the prayers of the righteous is when we pray, we're taking authority over the enemy.

120
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,000
We're taking control of the atmosphere.

121
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:44,000
We're using what God has given us and it's going to cause God to do what He desires in the earth.

122
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:48,000
Prayer opens up the door for God to work.

123
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:58,000
James 5.16 says, that the earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.

124
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:02,000
This promise is true and forever settled.

125
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,000
All we need is one scripture.

126
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:12,000
The Amplified says, the effectual fervent prayer of the righteous man avails much dynamic in its working.

127
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,000
We have not because we ask not.

128
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,000
We've got to ask.

129
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:18,000
We've got to stand.

130
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:22,000
We've got to believe and not just pray and stand and believe.

131
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:30,000
We've got to hold fast to confession of our faith without wavering because if we've already prayed something through to victory,

132
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:34,000
let's not speak the opposite of what we just prayed for.

133
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,000
We're nullifying our prayers.

134
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:43,000
I have come, God said, the angel said to Daniel, I, it was the first day that you did set your heart to seek me.

135
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,000
Your words were hard.

136
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:54,000
But the Prince of the Kingdom of Persia withstood me for all that time, but I have come because of your words.

137
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,000
Let's watch what we say over our region.

138
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,000
Let's watch what we say over the political scene.

139
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,000
Let's watch what we say over our president.

140
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:05,000
Let's watch what we say over the United States of America.

141
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,000
We've got to watch our words.

142
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,000
Glory be to God.

143
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:15,000
So we are called to be faithful in prayer.

144
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:19,000
1 Thessalonians 5.17 says, never stop praying.

145
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:27,000
1 Colossians 4.2 says, devote, continue yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.

146
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:31,000
Romans 12.2 says, rejoice and hope, patience and tribulation.

147
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,000
Continuing instant in prayer.

148
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:43,000
Ephesians 6.18, praying always with all prayer and supplication in the spirit or all manner of prayer.

149
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,000
It's a whole other message.

150
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:56,000
Philippians 4.6, be careful for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your request be made known unto God.

151
00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:05,000
Then finally, Luke 18.1, men ought to always pray and not faint.

152
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:10,000
God gave me a vision in 1980 for the east coast of the United States.

153
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:17,000
And he said through Ezekiel 36, he took the written word and it became a Ramah word.

154
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:21,000
And the word was in my heart planted like a vision.

155
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:30,000
And he said, this land that is desolate is going to become like the Garden of Eden.

156
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:34,000
The churches are going to be filled with flocks of men.

157
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:40,000
And he said, the people that pass by this region, they look at this region and they say there's no hope.

158
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:47,000
He said, but if you will till the ground and you will pray for the people, prepare the hearts.

159
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:53,000
I will open up a door of revival on this region that no man can shut.

160
00:14:53,000 --> 00:15:01,000
Now that was in 1981, though the visionary wait for it because it'll truly speak.

161
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,000
It will not, Terry. It will surely come to pass.

162
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:10,000
But we cannot faint. We cannot drop back. We can't quit. We can't stop.

163
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:20,000
We've got to continue to press in and press on and pray and believe God because what God said in his word is forever settled.

164
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:29,000
E.M. Bounds once said, if prayer puts God to work on the earth, then by the same token, prayerlessness,

165
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:35,000
rules God out of the world's affairs and prevents him from working.

166
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:40,000
I don't know about you, but I'm not giving up. I'm not stopping.

167
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:44,000
I've been tempted to stop. I've been reluctant to go on.

168
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:53,000
But I'm telling you, it is not a time for us to draw back, especially those of us that are mothers and fathers in the faith.

169
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,000
We've got to keep on keeping on.

170
00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:00,000
So let's talk about the three dimensions of prayer.

171
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:08,000
Now, remember, whatever dimension you are praying, remember prayer opens up the door for God to work.

172
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:12,000
But I'm going to introduce something to you today.

173
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:19,000
Three dimensions of prayer. The first dimension is with words we understand.

174
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:26,000
And specifically, we're not praying our own will.

175
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:32,000
We are praying according to the will of God.

176
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:38,000
And whatever we ask according to his will, he hears us.

177
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:48,000
And if we know he hears us, we know we have the petitions we desire because we're praying according to the Bible.

178
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:54,000
So with words we understand, in other words, with our understanding, what do we do?

179
00:16:54,000 --> 00:17:03,000
We take their need to the Word of God. We agree with the Word of God and not the problem.

180
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:09,000
Hello?

181
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:13,000
Is there anybody out there?

182
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,000
I'm going to say it again.

183
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:23,000
We take the need to the Word of God, whether it be for a person, place, city, nation, revival, the church, whatever.

184
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:33,000
We take the need, we look at it, to the Word of God and we agree with the Word of God and not the problem.

185
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:37,000
Find the promise that meets the need.

186
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:44,000
Agree with his Word and that's what we present before the Hebrews 4.16, the throne of grace.

187
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:50,000
So I'm going to give you Scripture. Isaiah 55.11 says, my Word will not return void.

188
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:58,000
You pray my Word, you speak my Word. It goes into the realm of the Spirit and it demolishes the works of the enemy.

189
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:06,000
Speak the Word only and my servant will be healed. There is power in the spoken Word.

190
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:16,000
Jeremiah 1.12 God said, I, not you, I will hasten my Word to perform it.

191
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:23,000
Psalms 107 verse 20, he said his Word and he healed them and delivered them from the destruction.

192
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:27,000
Job 22, 28, this is a big one, especially here in my region.

193
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:38,000
You shall decree a thing and it shall be established as long as it is the Ramah Word of God for that particular situation and that particular circumstances.

194
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:42,000
We don't want to just decree just for the sake of decreeing.

195
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:55,000
We want to make sure we're in line with the Word of God, but we're also in line with the person of the Holy Spirit who knows what is in the mind of God,

196
00:18:55,000 --> 00:19:04,000
who knows the beginning from the end, who knows everything about the circumstances, things we don't understand, things we don't comprehend.

197
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:11,000
So it's the Word, but it's also listening to the Holy Spirit. That's where we miss it.

198
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:20,000
We speak the Word and we decree it, but what is the Holy Spirit saying in that particular situation?

199
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:24,000
We'll decree a thing and a thing will be established.

200
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:33,000
So we speak the Word and we see a lot of declaration, but how do we pray when we don't know what to declare or what scripture meets their need?

201
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:37,000
We pray in tongues. I'm going to say it. I'm going to keep saying it.

202
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:42,000
I don't care that I've said it a hundred times. I'm going to keep saying it because I wouldn't stop.

203
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:47,000
If I stop saying it, that means you're all doing it. We're all doing it.

204
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:55,000
But if the Holy Ghost keeps saying it, that means people aren't doing it, especially when there's an anointing on that word and that teaching.

205
00:19:55,000 --> 00:20:04,000
It means that the people aren't getting it. They're not doing it and you got to keep saying it.

206
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:11,000
I'm actually a really nice person and generally very quiet. Just so you know.

207
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:15,000
So when we don't know what to pray, we pray in tongues.

208
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:25,000
In the New Testament, the Holy Spirit is referenced 264 times. 60 or more of them are in the gospels.

209
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:30,000
Now Jesus said, don't do anything till the Holy Ghost comes. And what happens?

210
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:35,000
And he talked about the Holy Ghost. He talked about the Holy Ghost. He talked about the Holy Ghost over and over and over.

211
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:41,000
So here we see in Acts 2, 1-4. They're all in the upper room. They started out with 500.

212
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:48,000
And how many were left? 120. I don't know about you, but I would have been the 120.

213
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:56,000
I would have been the remnant because I believe God. If Jesus said it, I want to be where He says He's going to be and He's going to show up.

214
00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:03,000
Because He's not lying about what He said. Especially if you saw the miracles and the signs and the wonders and everything that He did.

215
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:11,000
I mean, I know many believe down Jesus because of the miracles, but I would be there because of what He said and what He did.

216
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:17,000
So in Acts 2, 1-4, we know the story. We all know the story. We know the scripture.

217
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:22,000
Well, if you're so hot and mighty and you know the scripture, why aren't you doing it?

218
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:31,000
When the day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all in one accord. In one place, suddenly the Holy Ghost came, right?

219
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:43,000
Rushing mighty wind, yadda, yadda, yadda. But what was the very first manifestation when the Holy Spirit was poured out?

220
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:50,000
And they all began to speak with other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.

221
00:21:50,000 --> 00:22:00,000
The very first manifestation, yadda, wind, fire, glory, but they all were given a supernatural prayer language.

222
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:07,000
They were given a gift from God to pray about things when they don't know how to pray.

223
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:16,000
To pray not out of their minds, but to pray out of their hearts, the perfect will, plan, and purpose of God.

224
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:24,000
They all began to speak with other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance. Amen?

225
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:30,000
Tongues was the first sign of His indwelling presence. And I love what the Apostle Paul said.

226
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:36,000
He said, I thank my God, I speak in tongues more than you all.

227
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:42,000
We've got to get out of our heads and we've got to begin to trust the Holy Spirit of God,

228
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:51,000
who resides on the inside of us, and we've got to yield over to our prayer language.

229
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:56,000
And we will see more effective praying and results in this day and in this hour.

230
00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:00,000
He that searches the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit.

231
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:04,000
When a person prays in tongues, you're not praying out of your mind.

232
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:10,000
You're praying out of your heart, and God understands you.

233
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:16,000
You are speaking the language of heaven.

234
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:23,000
You're not speaking in your own tongue or your own language. You're speaking the language of heaven.

235
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:30,000
The Bible says in the Amplified, if I pray in a tongue, my spirit by the Holy Spirit in me prays,

236
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:35,000
but my mind is unproductive. I like that, don't you?

237
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:42,000
This is pure and unselfish prayer. A pure and unselfish prayer.

238
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:45,000
Remember the Bible says I'm going to give them a pure language?

239
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:53,000
It's a pure and unselfish prayers. There's no will involved, no selfish ambition, no pride.

240
00:23:53,000 --> 00:24:00,000
It's pure, unselfish. You're praying for that person, and you're not praying your own will or witchcraft prayers.

241
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:05,000
It's a beautiful, unselfish prayer.

242
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:12,000
Bill Hammond once said, those who have been born of the Spirit and baptized with the Spirit, receive a prayer language.

243
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:22,000
This gives the believer a private communication line direct to God's throne, which cannot be understood or hindered by the devil.

244
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,000
I like that.

245
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:28,000
Can I just say something when I was thinking about this theme?

246
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:35,000
For this purpose was the Son of Man manifested that he might destroy the works of the devil.

247
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:49,000
Do you know that when you're praying in tongues, you're praying in the Holy Ghost, that language of the Spirit is going out and it is demolishing the works of darkness?

248
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:59,000
You are Christ in the earth. When you pray in tongues, you're walking on Him, treading on Him, serpents and scorpions over all the power of the enemy.

249
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:16,000
Don Allen said in his book Seven Days with the Witch, he got this high level witch lady saved, and she said the very thing that used to trip them up was when church people would pray in tongues.

250
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:21,000
When you're praying in tongues, you're praying rooted in your right standing in Christ.

251
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:24,000
We're not going to get into it because I want to get into the third dimension.

252
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:29,000
When you're praying in tongues, you're praying the wisdom of God for a situation.

253
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:37,000
Sophia, insight into the true nature of things. You're praying the wisdom of God in a mystery.

254
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:43,000
Well, I don't know what I'm saying. You're not supposed to know what you're saying.

255
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:48,000
It doesn't matter what you're saying in tongues, but I will say this.

256
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:55,000
You spend time praying in the Holy Ghost, let's say it's five hours. Five hours? I can't even pray five minutes.

257
00:25:55,000 --> 00:26:00,000
Well, I think we should devote ourselves under prayer. I think we should do what the Bible says.

258
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:07,000
I think we should have times and seasons where we walk the floor and we pray in tongues for more than five minutes.

259
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:14,000
Jesus said, couldn't you watch one hour? How about pressing in? Because once you reach that one hour,

260
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:23,000
it can feel the Holy Ghost on me. Once you reach that one hour, you're in a realm of the Spirit.

261
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:29,000
You come to a place where you're operating out of here, your mind's finally quiet,

262
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:36,000
and you're in a rhythm of tongues, and it just becomes like you're walking on a road.

263
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:42,000
And the crooked ways are being made straight. The rough places are being made plain.

264
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:51,000
The mountains and the hills and things that try to trip you up are being dealt with and moved aside.

265
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,000
No, but I don't see it. Well, it's working.

266
00:26:54,000 --> 00:27:03,000
Romans 8. Beautiful. Romans 8. I'm going to read this side of the Amplified.

267
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:11,000
So, too, the Holy Spirit comes to our aid and bears us up in our weakness.

268
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:16,000
We don't know what we should pray or how to offer it, wordily, as we ought,

269
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:22,000
but the Spirit goes to me in our supplication and pleads in our behalf with unspeakable yearnings and groanings

270
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:30,000
too deep for utterance, and He who searches the hearts knows what is the mind of the Holy Spirit,

271
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:35,000
what His intent is, because the Spirit intercedes and pleads before God.

272
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:39,000
Remember, you're the house of God. So you have the Holy Spirit on the inside of you.

273
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:43,000
It's your spirit by the Holy Spirit that's praying.

274
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:48,000
On the behalf of the saints, according to an in harmony with God's will,

275
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:53,000
and then we are assured and we know that being a partner in their labor,

276
00:27:53,000 --> 00:28:00,000
all things work together and are what? New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware,

277
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:09,000
this whole East Coast, Florida, are fitting into a plan for good and for good to,

278
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:13,000
and for those who love God and are called according to His purpose.

279
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:17,000
So when we pray in tongues, we're praying according to the will of God.

280
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:25,000
And we already said it, and we can have confidence that whatever we ask, we receive of Him.

281
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:33,000
So we could pray in tongues, and this is the result, but I'm going to bring you to the third dimension.

282
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,000
Romans 8 already spoke about it.

283
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:45,000
Romans 8 brings us into the third dimension of prayer, praying with travail.

284
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:51,000
Romans 8, 20, 6 speaks not only of praying in the spirit,

285
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:58,000
but also specifically of praying through travail when it says,

286
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:06,000
the Spirit Himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.

287
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:15,000
Simply put, travail is a form of intense intercession in our hearts and spirits

288
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:22,000
that can involve deep groaning and at times tears.

289
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:31,000
It is a spiritual birthing in prayer, and it ends when the intercessor senses a release in the spirit.

290
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:38,000
Sometimes this manifests as a sense of breaking or laughter.

291
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:47,000
Unlike the first two dimensions of prayer, travail rises up in our spirits by the Holy Spirit

292
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:52,000
and is always initiated by Him, not by our human will.

293
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:59,000
These are wordless prayers, and they're also at times mixed with tongues.

294
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:06,000
I had it happen this week, where you're entering into a place of prayer,

295
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:13,000
and it's wordless prayers, it's a groaning, it's a sighing,

296
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:21,000
it's something on the inside is turning, but you're also mixing in with the groanings and the yearnings tongues.

297
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:24,000
And then you go back into the groanings and go back into tongues.

298
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:29,000
And this is the place I find that I have a lot of interpretation to my tongues.

299
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:34,000
Where I find myself, because of that place in the spirit,

300
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:44,000
forming English words so as to give me a clue as to what I am praying about.

301
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:50,000
I'm going to give you an example. I was going to say it in the end, but I'll give it to you now.

302
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:59,000
This week, I was very grieved in my spirit, kind of like the same grieving we had when before COVID,

303
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:03,000
we knew there was a COVID. It was so grieved in our spirits. Remember that?

304
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:08,000
And then we went into a KIU event, and we just said, we're just going to demonstrate prayer.

305
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:13,000
We're not going to have any teaching. And I mean, we groaned and travailed and prayed in tongues.

306
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:17,000
We didn't know there was a COVID. We didn't know what was going on.

307
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:23,000
But we picked up on it a week before. And then in the KIU event, you know,

308
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:29,000
we entered into this level I call the third dimension of prayer, not knowing what we were praying about.

309
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:33,000
And I looked at Michael, what are we praying about? We had no idea.

310
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,000
But a week later, we found out there was a COVID.

311
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:41,000
So this week, I was grieved in my spirit. I don't know why.

312
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:47,000
I just was, oh, I can't breathe, I'm going to die.

313
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:54,000
Oh, God, I can't breathe. It was just, I couldn't, I can't express what was on the inside.

314
00:31:54,000 --> 00:32:01,000
I still have it on the inside. But as I prayed this thing out, I never got a full victory or a full release,

315
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:10,000
but a part of it, interesting, was I found that I was praying at this point for myself.

316
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:17,000
And I realized that because when I was praying in tongues and I would enter into that realm of the third dimension,

317
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:24,000
I found myself saying, I want you to obey me.

318
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:28,000
Really? I want you to obey me.

319
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:35,000
So I was not in that moment in intercession for the region, for a person, for a place.

320
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:44,000
I had a weakness and I have a weakness. And my weakness is, I don't know that I want to do this.

321
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:51,000
I don't know that I want to do this. Why do you keep burdening me with this burden?

322
00:32:51,000 --> 00:33:01,000
And the Holy Spirit has to work it in me, both to will and to do, of His good pleasure.

323
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:07,000
And so I'm praying in the Holy Ghost, and this time it wasn't in intercession,

324
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:12,000
but I realized this week that I was praying, I have a weakness.

325
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:20,000
I personally have a tendency to go this way, like Jonah and the whale of the belly, and run.

326
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:27,000
And God's calling me this way. And so that's a weakness in my soul.

327
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:34,000
So as I was praying in the Holy Ghost, the interpretation of my tongue was, I want you to obey me.

328
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:40,000
It's another level of obedience. It's another level of breakthrough in your soul.

329
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:50,000
God wants to take us to another level, but it's the Holy Spirit that helps us get to that place.

330
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:55,000
And that's where at times we will enter into these kinds of praying, this kind of praying.

331
00:33:55,000 --> 00:34:00,000
Now, when you're praying like this, there is an anointing.

332
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:05,000
And Michael said it last night, Christ is the anointed one, right?

333
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:15,000
When you're in this place of prayer, this third dimension, there is an anointing that is rising within you when you are at this level.

334
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:19,000
I'll say it again. There's no thought of self.

335
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:31,000
You're more conscious of what is happening right here, John 7.38, on the inside of you than you are about all this going around over here.

336
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:36,000
So you could pray the word and you can think. You could pray in tongues, you could think, right?

337
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:40,000
You could walk around, you could pray in tongues, I gotta feed the dog, oh my God, I gotta brush his tail.

338
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:44,000
He keeps shaking, he's obsessed about shaking, and it messes up his tail, I gotta brush his tail.

339
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:56,000
But I'm praying in tongues and I'm thinking, when you're in this third dimension of prayer, it is as if spirit, soul, and body, you are in an anointing,

340
00:34:56,000 --> 00:35:06,000
and there's no thought of self, you are more internally minded than you are externally minded.

341
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:10,000
It's a good way of putting it, thank you Holy Ghost.

342
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:16,000
There is an anointing. When you're in this place of prayer, you feel the heart of God.

343
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:24,000
And he's yearning, and he's longing, and his desire that all men be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth.

344
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:30,000
His desire to see that little boy in that country healed and set free from the power of God.

345
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:34,000
You literally feel this heart of God in this third dimension of prayer.

346
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:42,000
This type of prayer is rooted in mercy and compassion.

347
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:51,000
In this place of prayer, you will experience identification and intercession, or in prayer.

348
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:57,000
Weep with those who weep, right? There's an identification.

349
00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:04,000
So when you're in this place of prayer, you may feel lost, and you're not actually lost, you're on your way to heaven.

350
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:11,000
You're just picking up on what is going on in that person, or in that region, or whatever the case may be.

351
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:17,000
It's identification. Remember, we are one with him, right?

352
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:23,000
We're one with Jesus. We're the temple of the Holy Ghost. He's in us. He ever lives to make intercession.

353
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:27,000
So we're sensing we're picking up on his heart.

354
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:33,000
I don't know about you, but I like that. And it's been a long time since I've done this kind of praying,

355
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:36,000
but I believe he's bringing us to the time of birth.

356
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:44,000
I believe the baby is in the womb, and I believe this word is just preparation for what God wants to do in our region,

357
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:53,000
and in and amongst us, some of you are entering into another level, and that's why there's so much war over your purpose and your destiny.

358
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:59,000
There's so much struggle going on, because you're going to a new level.

359
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:05,000
I know I'm right.

360
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,000
Caution.

361
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:16,000
As Kenneth E. Hagen said in his book, tongues beyond the upper room said, the Holy Ghost has to take hold with believers as they pray in the spirit.

362
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:23,000
Otherwise, because it's a taking hold. He takes a hold of you. You can feel it.

363
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:34,000
Can I say the word feel? But you can, it's an inner working of the Holy Spirit. He takes a hold of you, but you've got to yield.

364
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:42,000
The Holy Ghost has to take hold with believers as they pray in the spirit. Otherwise, their groanings are nothing more than a fleshly display.

365
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:49,000
For the sake of time, I don't want to get into the whole thing. I'll take a screen shot of my notes.

366
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:55,000
Isaiah 66, 6-9 is the whole explanation of who has heard such a thing.

367
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:58,000
This is what the scripture says. Who has seen such things?

368
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:04,000
Shall the earth be made to give birth in one day, or shall a nation be born at once?

369
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:10,000
For as soon as Zion was in labor, she gave birth to him children.

370
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:17,000
God goes on to say, shall I bring to the time of birth and not cause delivery, says the Lord?

371
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:22,000
Shall I bring, shall I cause delivery and shut up the womb?

372
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:25,000
No, I believe we're coming into a time of birth.

373
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:30,000
Now, the Old Testament prophecies often have multiple applications.

374
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:34,000
First, there is the natural, then there is the spiritual.

375
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:41,000
In this case, verse 8 does talk about Israel being born at once, so to speak, in these last days.

376
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:47,000
I believe that happened in 1948 when Israel became a sovereign nation.

377
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:52,000
But when the Bible talks about Zion, it's not always talking about Israel.

378
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:58,000
For example, in the following passage, what is God talking about when he refers to Mount Zion?

379
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:01,000
Hebrews 12, 22-23.

380
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:08,000
But you are come to Mount Zion and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem,

381
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:16,000
to an innumerable company of angels, to the general and assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven.

382
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:26,000
This refers to us, the church under the New Testament, we are Zion, and to God the judge of all and to the spirits of just men made perfect.

383
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:30,000
This puts the whole new perspective on Isaiah 66-8.

384
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:35,000
When the church travails, she brought forth her spiritual children.

385
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:39,000
Ha! I never heard this kind of teaching.

386
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:45,000
When the church travails, she brings forth her spiritual children.

387
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:57,000
I believe we are coming into a season, not many days from now, whereby the church is going to enter in as she yields to a travail in the spirit

388
00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:04,000
so as we can give birth to this next thing that God wants to do in our region.

389
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:08,000
There has been war at the gates, but we are coming through the gates.

390
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:11,000
A great door in effectual has been opened to us.

391
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:18,000
There has been many hindrances, but Zion the church is going to manifest Christ, and we are going through that door.

392
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:27,000
Galatians 419, my little children, for whom I travail in birth again.

393
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:36,000
Again, he travailed first for them to be born again, and a second time for Christ to be formed in them.

394
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:45,000
I think the travail in our region is for Christ to be formed in us so that we can manifest Christ in our region.

395
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:48,000
Love one another as Christ loves the church.

396
00:40:48,000 --> 00:41:00,000
Bear one another's burdens. Be there for one another, and stop being mean to one another.

397
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:07,000
Jeremiah 9.1, Jeremiah said, oh, that my head were waters.

398
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:12,000
Have you cried lately in prayer?

399
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:18,000
Oh, that my head were waters, and my eyes a fountain of tears.

400
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:26,000
Or he said another translation, or who will give to my head water and to my eyes a fountain of tears?

401
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:36,000
The prophet wishes that his head was turned and dissolved into water, and that tears might flow from his eyes as waters issue from a fountain.

402
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:45,000
And he suggests that this, that could this be, it wouldn't even be sufficient to deplore the miserable state of his people,

403
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:50,000
and to express the inward grief and sorrow of his mind on account of it.

404
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:57,000
This kind of prayer involves tears, intense love, and compassion.

405
00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:05,000
God said to the priests who minister to the Lord in Joel 2.17, we'd be fearing the porch and the altar.

406
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:08,000
Let's go to John 11.

407
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:11,000
Do you have your Bibles? Good.

408
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:15,000
Did Jesus pray like this?

409
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:23,000
Look here at John 11. Now we know that Jesus operated on all the gifts of the Spirit, except Tongue's interpretation, right?

410
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:28,000
But he did have the Holy Spirit within him and upon him, right?

411
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:36,000
John 11.14, you know the story. Jesus said to them plainly, Lazarus is dead.

412
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:41,000
I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, that you may believe.

413
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:48,000
Nevertheless, let us go to him. Then Thomas, who is called the twin, said to his fellow disciples,

414
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:52,000
let us go also that we may die with him.

415
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:56,000
Lot of faith in him, right? Thomas, man.

416
00:42:56,000 --> 00:43:01,000
So when Jesus came, he found that he had already been dead four days.

417
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:07,000
Looks impossible. With man it is impossible. But with God all things are possible.

418
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:13,000
Let the nation be born at once. When Zion prevailed, she brought forth her children.

419
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:20,000
Suddenly, as of a rushing mighty wind, the whole house where they were sitting were filled with the Holy Ghost.

420
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:27,000
Some things, I believe, can happen suddenly. I believe that for us who are praying people, and it should be all of us,

421
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:32,000
we're all called to prayer, I believe that we go into the Spirit and start doing some real praying.

422
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:38,000
I believe we're going to see results in the natural realm, suddenly.

423
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:46,000
Okay, go to verse 32. Then Mary came where Jesus was and saw him and she fell down at his feet, saying to him,

424
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:49,000
Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.

425
00:43:49,000 --> 00:44:01,000
Therefore, when Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, what did he do?

426
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:07,000
He groaned in the Spirit and was troubled.

427
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:15,000
If you get a troubling in your Spirit, don't ignore it. That's a prayer assignment.

428
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:20,000
And he said, where have you laid them? And he said to him, Lord, come see.

429
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:32,000
Now, verse 35, Jesus wept. Verse 41, then they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying

430
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:42,000
and Jesus lifted up his eyes. I love this. Father, I thank you that you have hurt me.

431
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:52,000
What did he do? He groaned in the Spirit, he was troubled, and he had tears. And I know that you always hear me.

432
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:58,000
But because of the people who are standing by, I said this, that they may believe that you sent me.

And Jesus said, loose him and let him go.
