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 --> 00:00:07,680
avails much.

4
00:00:07,680 --> 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
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:20,160
Good morning or afternoon, everybody.

9
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:22,160
I'm gonna go ahead and mute all

10
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:24,360
for the time of the teaching.

11
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:27,040
And then by the hand and grace of God,

12
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:31,040
I'm going to unmute you.

13
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:34,600
But if that doesn't work, you can unmute yourselves

14
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:36,000
just so you know.

15
00:00:38,160 --> 00:00:39,440
Is everyone muted?

16
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:42,340
Okay.

17
00:00:42,340 --> 00:00:44,800
Well, it's good to be here.

18
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:48,640
I'm excited about what God is doing with love and unity

19
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:52,800
and how he's ramping up our devotional time with him,

20
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,040
our corporate prayer time with him,

21
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,880
the scripture that the Holy Spirit has been giving me

22
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:03,000
for us and for all of us who are in ministry

23
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,480
and have churches is Psalms 92 10.

24
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:10,920
He said, I am gonna anoint my church with fresh oil.

25
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,840
There's a fresh awakening coming in 2025

26
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:19,400
as it relates to the spirit of grace and supplication.

27
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,040
And I think it's important that as leaders

28
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:26,520
that we all be open and receptive

29
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,000
to our corporate meetings,

30
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,480
whereby there's times where we will all be planning

31
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:36,800
to teach and preach and the spirit of God

32
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:40,040
may have other plans and other desires.

33
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,840
And that may be to have the body enter into prayer,

34
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:45,120
a time of corporate prayer,

35
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:46,840
just like they did in the book of Acts.

36
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,160
That's why we're calling this book of Acts prayer,

37
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,920
because they all prayed at once, they all prayed together.

38
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:55,840
They were in unity, they were in love,

39
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,720
they were of one purpose, one accord.

40
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:03,720
And it may be confusing for everyone to be praying at once,

41
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,680
but prayer opens up the door for God to work.

42
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,840
And when we're all praying at once,

43
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:13,880
he hears every single prayer because he's an omnipotent God.

44
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:15,560
He's an all-knowing God

45
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,080
and he hears all of our prayers all at once.

46
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,280
Before we get into the prayer today,

47
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:25,280
I would like to share scripture I kept getting

48
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:29,800
in my heart today and it's Hebrews 4.16.

49
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,560
And it says here, and I know you know it,

50
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:37,600
but faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.

51
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,040
It says, for we do not have a high priest

52
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,160
who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses,

53
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:48,160
but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin,

54
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:53,160
let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace

55
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:58,840
that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help

56
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:00,120
in the time of need.

57
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,360
Now, first of all, this tells me

58
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,480
that there is a throne in heaven.

59
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,040
And the Bible speaks about the throne room of God

60
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,880
and what it looks like in the book of Revelations.

61
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:14,200
But there is a throne room of grace.

62
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:18,440
And we as believers, we can approach the throne room

63
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:22,160
of grace with confidence and with boldness

64
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:27,160
in our time of need and even concerning our time together

65
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,920
in the time of need on the behalf of our families,

66
00:03:30,920 --> 00:03:35,080
on the behalf of the people in our congregations,

67
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,280
the people in our ministries, the prayer,

68
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,320
hundreds and hundreds of prayer requests that we may get.

69
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:44,160
We can draw boldly to the throne of grace

70
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,960
on the behalf of ourselves, on the behalf of others.

71
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,360
And as you know, there's different kinds of prayer,

72
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,160
but today is gonna be praying on the behalf of others,

73
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,000
not just for ourselves.

74
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,200
But it says here that we may obtain mercy

75
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,640
and find grace to help in the time of need.

76
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,840
Now, I looked that word up boldly.

77
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:09,840
It says here in Webster's that that word boldly is defined

78
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,320
as fearless.

79
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:20,320
So we can go fearlessly before the throne room of grace.

80
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:25,000
It also means taking liberties or shameless.

81
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,240
Now we may say to ourselves, well, you know,

82
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:33,240
I don't feel like I am in a place

83
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,040
that I can draw boldly to the throne of God,

84
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:37,800
fearlessly to the throne of God,

85
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,280
shamelessly before the throne of God,

86
00:04:40,280 --> 00:04:42,880
because I may have said something or did something

87
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:44,440
that didn't please him.

88
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,760
But you know, the Bible says that we can.

89
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:51,440
And the reason we can is because 2 Corinthians 5, 17

90
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:56,440
through 21 says that in Christ, we are a new creation.

91
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:01,640
All things have passed away, all things have become new.

92
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:06,640
And now we are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.

93
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:12,520
So when we stand before the throne of grace,

94
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,040
it is justice if we've never sinned.

95
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,560
We are clean through the word he's spoken.

96
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,240
We are clean because of the blood of Jesus.

97
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,240
We can draw near to God.

98
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,200
He can draw near to us.

99
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:25,960
There's no shame.

100
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,720
But what would happen if I do say something

101
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:31,960
or do something that's not pleasing to the heart

102
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:33,520
of the father, right?

103
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,440
Well, you know the scripture, 1 John 1, 9.

104
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:41,360
If we confess our sin, he is faithful and just

105
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:45,280
to forgive us of our sin and cleanse us

106
00:05:45,280 --> 00:05:46,680
from all unrighteousness.

107
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:50,440
The Bible also says in Psalms 103,

108
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:54,400
that as far as the East is from the West,

109
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,440
that's how far he takes our sins away from us.

110
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,920
So no matter what kind of thoughts come

111
00:05:59,920 --> 00:06:04,440
or condemnation comes or accusations come from the enemy,

112
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:09,040
we can just boldly say, no, I'm the righteousness of God

113
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:13,040
in Christ, I can go boldly to the throne of grace.

114
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:17,920
And there's therefore now, right now, right now today,

115
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:22,560
no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus

116
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,800
and I am in Christ Jesus.

117
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,640
Therefore, I don't have to fear the presence of God.

118
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:33,280
I don't have to be like Adam and Eve, who when they sinned,

119
00:06:33,280 --> 00:06:37,520
they hid themselves from the presence of God

120
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,520
because they realized that they were naked

121
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,960
and they needed to clothe themselves.

122
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:47,960
Well, my friends, you and I, we are clothed in righteousness.

123
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,720
We have Christ in us, the hope of glory,

124
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,360
and we don't have to hide from God.

125
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,320
We don't have to draw away from God.

126
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,760
We can draw boldly to the throne of grace,

127
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:06,760
shamelessly, fearlessly, because we're not here today,

128
00:07:06,840 --> 00:07:08,200
especially for ourselves.

129
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,560
We're here on the behalf of whatever prayer assignment

130
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,320
God downloads into our hearts.

131
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:22,080
Okay, now the Greek word for boldly is P-A-R-R-H-E-S-I-A.

132
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:26,240
And again, that means the absence of fear

133
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,040
in speaking boldly.

134
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:34,840
It means confidence or cheerful courage.

135
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,080
I like that, cheerful courage.

136
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:42,120
I can be happy when I approach the throne room of God.

137
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:47,120
I can be happy because I know that prayer opens up the door

138
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:51,720
for God to work, that he hears me when I pray,

139
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:55,160
that my prayers are not falling on deaf ears,

140
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,320
but it's falling in the ears of one

141
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:02,680
who wants everybody to be saved, everybody to be healed,

142
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,200
everybody to understand his heart.

143
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:09,520
So we can have confidence that when we pray,

144
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,080
our prayers open up the door for God to work.

145
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,960
Now, we have not because we ask not.

146
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,440
So if we don't approach the throne of grace

147
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,120
and we don't spend time in the presence of God

148
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:24,760
and we don't pray, then God can't work.

149
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,440
Many people will say, well, why is that?

150
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:32,440
Well, because man is God's avenue into the earth.

151
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:34,720
We have to take our place.

152
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:36,120
We've got to pray.

153
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:37,560
We've got to stand.

154
00:08:37,560 --> 00:08:40,360
We've got to do what God has called us to do.

155
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,560
I'm just gonna not take too much longer,

156
00:08:42,560 --> 00:08:47,560
but I wanna read you a scripture over here from,

157
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:54,400
let's see, Genesis 1.26, Genesis 1.26.

158
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:59,080
Prayer is necessary because man is God's avenue

159
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:00,640
into the earth.

160
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,720
I fully believe that if our people,

161
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,120
the people we minister to, even all of us together,

162
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,520
if we really understood our authority,

163
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,760
we really understood the power of prayer,

164
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,320
more of us would be on this call today.

165
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,960
More of us would be praying.

166
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,480
It would be like a universal move whereby,

167
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,760
wow, prayer really works.

168
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:27,880
But I think the reason why people don't pray

169
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,600
is because they're discouraged.

170
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,720
That's why Jesus said men ought to always pray

171
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,040
and not faint.

172
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,080
And I think people faint and get discouraged

173
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,480
because they don't always understand

174
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:45,760
that there's a process in that when you pray,

175
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:49,240
you believe that you receive and you've done the work

176
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,960
in the realm of the Spirit if it's intercession,

177
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:56,760
and it takes time for it to manifest in the natural realm.

178
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,640
I was teaching prayer precept and example

179
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,360
in one of my churches here in New Jersey,

180
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,360
and the subject matter that God gave me

181
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:09,360
was preparing the way for our holiday services.

182
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:11,720
Right?

183
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,240
And we literally had a prayer meeting

184
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:18,280
to prepare the way for our holiday services.

185
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:19,960
And I think that would be a good idea

186
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,000
on this Zoom call today.

187
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,120
Well, why did we have that focus?

188
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,120
Because so many people are gonna be coming

189
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,040
to our services and our churches

190
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,960
and even coming into our homes

191
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,920
who don't walk with God, who are on the fence,

192
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:37,560
who are not saved.

193
00:10:37,560 --> 00:10:42,360
And when we pray, prayer opens up the door for God to work.

194
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:46,680
Prayer prepares the way, makes the crooked way straight,

195
00:10:46,680 --> 00:10:48,680
the rough places plain,

196
00:10:48,680 --> 00:10:52,600
and it causes things to be moved around in the Spirit.

197
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:56,880
Prayer causes the darkness that's on the minds

198
00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:00,600
of those that don't believe to be removed.

199
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:05,200
That's Romans 15, one, Galatians 6, two.

200
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:09,440
So when we pray, it's causing whatever's hindering them

201
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,560
in their minds or their thoughts or whatever,

202
00:11:12,560 --> 00:11:14,040
through the power of prayer

203
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,640
and the presence of the Holy Spirit,

204
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,480
it causes the Holy Spirit to come in,

205
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,320
lift that thing up off of their minds,

206
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,120
and convict them and convince them

207
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:27,520
of their need for Jesus.

208
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,760
It also opens up the eyes of their understanding

209
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,720
so that they can truly see the heart of God.

210
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,120
So many people are afraid of God.

211
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,040
They're afraid of God, you know, what he might say.

212
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:42,200
They're afraid of what God may ask them to do.

213
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,760
There are just all kinds of reasons.

214
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,280
And that's why I love the Holy Spirit,

215
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,160
because when we don't know what's keeping people bound,

216
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,600
when we don't understand why

217
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,640
they don't see the heart of God,

218
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,280
when we pray in the Holy Ghost,

219
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:02,280
we can pray the mind, the will, and the purpose of God,

220
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,880
and it'll cause things to work together for the good.

221
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,000
It'll cause the right answer to come at the right time.

222
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:14,000
It'll cause the Holy Spirit to be able to move accurately

223
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,760
on the behalf of the individuals we are praying for.

224
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:19,480
So it was really a lot of fun.

225
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,240
We prayed in preparation for the holiday season.

226
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,520
And I think in this particular church,

227
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,160
they have four campuses.

228
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,080
So they have 27 services coming up.

229
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:30,920
And here's the beauty of it.

230
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:34,960
You know, when we pray, now faith is.

231
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:39,240
So we're praying, but it's being activated now.

232
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:44,240
And when we pray, there's no time or distance in the Spirit.

233
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:49,000
So it's happening now, right?

234
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:50,880
Whether the people are in the services

235
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:52,560
or whether they're not.

236
00:12:52,560 --> 00:12:55,360
So I think that that's why people get discouraged,

237
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:56,640
getting back to that,

238
00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:00,480
because people don't see instant results.

239
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:04,640
But in the realm of the Spirit, your prayers are working.

240
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,600
Catherine Coleman once said,

241
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:10,800
the greatest power given to humanity is the power of prayer.

242
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:12,160
Ian Bounds once said,

243
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,200
God shapes the world through prayer.

244
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,120
The more prayer there is in the world,

245
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,200
the better the world will be.

246
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,400
We need to ramp up the prayer movement.

247
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:25,160
I need to, I feel like we really need to focus more

248
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:30,160
on the power of prayer and build people's faith, okay?

249
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:35,040
Anyway, so let's just read this in Genesis 1.26.

250
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:39,280
It says here, God said, and then we'll go into prayer.

251
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,480
God said, let us make man in our image

252
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:45,200
according to our likeness,

253
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:50,200
and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea,

254
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:51,800
over the birds of the air,

255
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,160
and over the cattle, over all the earth,

256
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,800
and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.

257
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,880
So man created man in his own image,

258
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,720
in the image of God, he created them, male and female,

259
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:08,400
and God blessed them and said to them,

260
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:12,960
be fruitful and multiply, fill the earth and subdue it,

261
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:16,000
have dominion over the fish of the sea,

262
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:17,160
over the birds of the air,

263
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:21,920
and over every living thing that rules or moves on the earth.

264
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,560
So that word dominion means rada.

265
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,120
It's to tread, that Hebrew is rada,

266
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:33,120
it means to tread, to rule, to have dominion.

267
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,800
God gave man dominion.

268
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:41,800
And the English definition is to rule or to have authority.

269
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:43,920
And you know what happened.

270
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,680
Adam and Eve, Timothy Hagen said it like this,

271
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:50,360
committed high treason, sold out to Satan,

272
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:54,200
what was given to Adam, he gave over to Satan,

273
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:58,680
who is the God of this world, right?

274
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:02,240
Jesus said in the temptation, when the enemy came to him,

275
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,360
I'll give you all of this,

276
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,120
because it's been delivered to me.

277
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,960
And then we know that Jesus quoted the word of God to him.

278
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,000
So we know that was a real temptation.

279
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:13,800
So the truth of the matter is,

280
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,480
Satan is the God of this world.

281
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:21,480
So in Christ Jesus, you and I have got to stop being afraid,

282
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,160
stop being afraid of God,

283
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,160
draw near to the throne of grace,

284
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:31,600
and begin to take our authority like never before,

285
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,240
with the full armor of God,

286
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,440
and begin to move some of these mountains,

287
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,840
begin to move the enemy off of some of the things

288
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:43,840
that are God's dominion anyway, right?

289
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,920
And we need to begin to really take our authority.

290
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,520
So, you know, people say,

291
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:53,280
and I've had people put the brakes on when I say this,

292
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:57,880
people say, well, God has everything under control.

293
00:15:57,880 --> 00:15:59,840
Well, the truth of the matter is,

294
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:03,640
God does not have everything under control.

295
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,200
The whole earth or the world

296
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,400
is in the sway of the wicked one.

297
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:12,560
It is the body of Christ, members in particular,

298
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:14,400
Christ being the head,

299
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,840
we are the ones through our prayers,

300
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:18,320
through using our authority,

301
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:19,720
through the name of Jesus,

302
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:21,320
through speaking the word of God,

303
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:22,680
through decreeing and declaring,

304
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:26,960
we are the ones that have dominion and have control,

305
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:30,440
because it's been delivered back unto us

306
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:34,560
through the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

307
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:35,800
That's why the Bible says,

308
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:37,840
all authority, Jesus said,

309
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:42,120
has been given unto me in heaven and in earth.

310
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:45,680
He says, now you go, and in my name,

311
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:47,960
you know, cast out devils, heal the sick,

312
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:51,760
but also you go and you pray.

313
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:55,440
You begin to pray, use your authority,

314
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,800
use my name, in my name, cast out devils,

315
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,200
in my name, take authority over the darkness

316
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,280
that's on the minds of them that believe not.

317
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:08,280
Use my authority, and you will see that prayer,

318
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,680
in this regard, using the authority in prayer,

319
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,400
will open up the door for God to work.

320
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,840
It will prepare the way, it will move mountains,

321
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:19,920
it'll make the crooked way straight,

322
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:21,800
the rough places plain,

323
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:25,960
but we just need to have boldness and confidence

324
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:30,480
that our prayers open up the door for God to work.

325
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,560
So I really, weirdly, didn't have direction

326
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:37,080
for our prayer time today, and sometimes that works.

327
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,360
I mean, that's what happens, and that's how it works,

328
00:17:40,360 --> 00:17:43,240
because the Holy Spirit will give us

329
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:47,440
the prayer focus ahead of time, and sometimes he doesn't.

330
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:51,120
But I believe that what we need to pray for today

331
00:17:51,120 --> 00:17:55,840
is prayer, preparation for our services coming up

332
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:57,800
in this holiday season.

333
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:01,840
Not just our services, but when we, as families,

334
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:03,440
gather together, because some of you

335
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:08,240
are not ministry leaders, but you can pray in preparation

336
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:10,520
that when your family gathers together,

337
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:12,840
you can pray in preparation that you have peace,

338
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:14,200
because you know how holidays are,

339
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:17,600
and sometimes everything just comes out, you know,

340
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:19,480
and it's not always good.

341
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,280
But we can pray in preparation for peace.

342
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,680
We can pray in preparation for joy.

343
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,120
We can pray for preparation for harmony.

344
00:18:27,120 --> 00:18:29,720
We can pray for preparation that our hearts

345
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:31,960
would be knit together in love.

346
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:36,960
We can pray in preparation that God will give those

347
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:41,400
who we are coming in contact with over the holiday season,

348
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:44,640
we can pray that God will give them a heart to know him,

349
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:46,960
and that God will open up a door for us

350
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:51,200
to speak a word in season, whether it's a salvation message

351
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,280
or whether it's just a loving, kind word.

352
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,200
So that's really what I feel the Holy Spirit's given us

353
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:02,200
for today, to pray for preparation for our services

354
00:19:03,120 --> 00:19:05,520
and for our family time together.

355
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,480
So I'm gonna go ahead and see.

356
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,720
Margie, would you mind if I just share a few minutes?

357
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:11,560
Sure.

358
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:15,480
To share the heart of why we're doing this prayer

359
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,360
and why Margie is doing this.

360
00:19:18,360 --> 00:19:23,360
I really feel the call of God to prayer for the nation

361
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:30,000
and from every state across our nation and the world,

362
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,280
but it has to start with the leaders.

363
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,320
If the leaders are not willing to come together and pray,

364
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,240
how are we ever gonna get the body of Christ

365
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,160
to come together and pray?

366
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,360
And if anybody should make the sacrifice

367
00:19:43,360 --> 00:19:47,800
on a Saturday morning to gather once a month for prayer,

368
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:49,880
it should be ministers.

369
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,720
It should be the ones that know how important it is

370
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:53,960
when we gather together.

371
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:57,120
We know the birthing of the New Testament church

372
00:19:57,120 --> 00:19:59,000
came through that prayer room.

373
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:02,280
It came through them being in one accord and praying,

374
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,640
and that's when the baptism of the Holy Spirit came,

375
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,840
and that's when the New Testament church and its pattern

376
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:09,920
begin to be developed in the earth.

377
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:14,360
So when prayer of leaders begin to happen,

378
00:20:14,360 --> 00:20:17,960
we're gonna see a move of God like we never seen before.

379
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:19,960
And we may start small right now,

380
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:23,680
but I'm believing 100, 200 ministers and more

381
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:27,800
will start gathering, starting on Zoom to pray

382
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,600
and pray and pray, hallelujah.

383
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:34,480
And I believe God is getting ready to change things

384
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:37,840
in great dimensions if God's leaders

385
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,920
will come together and pray.

386
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,640
So this is not just that we're just doing this

387
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:44,840
to pass some time away

388
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,400
because we're gonna be spiritual and religious

389
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:48,280
and we're gonna pray.

390
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:49,400
That's not why we're doing this.

391
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,200
We're doing it with purpose.

392
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,280
We're doing it intentionally.

393
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,640
We're doing it with a focus of getting leaders

394
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:59,000
to pray together and to birth the things that God wants

395
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:00,640
to birth in the earth right now,

396
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:04,040
to come in unity and one accord as leaders,

397
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:07,080
to drive out the strife, the division

398
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:08,960
that's in the body of Christ today,

399
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:13,080
to lift up the body of Christ that many of them

400
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,160
are just depressed and oppressed

401
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,600
and feeling overwhelmed by life itself.

402
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:21,560
And it's the leader's responsibility,

403
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:26,440
before even we preach, is to pray them through, hallelujah.

404
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,840
I don't know why minister thinks the most important thing

405
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:29,960
it is to preach.

406
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,720
No, the most important thing is to communicate

407
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:34,280
with the heaven, hallelujah.

408
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:35,920
Communicate with God the Father

409
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,200
and see the releasing of God's glory in the earth.

410
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,280
And I'm glad Margie brought up Genesis chapter one

411
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:45,280
on dominion because what dominion is saying is we are

412
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:49,640
to bring forth the kingdom rule of God into the earth.

413
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,360
And that's what dominion stands for is God's rule,

414
00:21:52,360 --> 00:21:55,240
God's reign of righteousness in the earth.

415
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,800
So when we pray, we are bringing forth the rule

416
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:02,240
and the reign of righteousness in the earth, praise God.

417
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,000
And it takes all of us.

418
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,400
Well, Margie could pray all day, all night.

419
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:10,320
She will have some blessings that come.

420
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:12,960
I could pray all night and God will move and do something.

421
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,120
But when we come together to pray,

422
00:22:15,120 --> 00:22:16,640
we're gonna shape the nation.

423
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:18,040
We're gonna shift the earth.

424
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:19,360
We're gonna shift the church.

425
00:22:19,360 --> 00:22:21,240
We're gonna begin to move things

426
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,440
in ways that we couldn't move them before

427
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,680
because there's something about corporate oneness.

428
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:28,760
There's something about corporate unity.

429
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:31,640
It's something about corporate prayer that begins

430
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,120
to change things like never before.

431
00:22:34,120 --> 00:22:36,720
So I hope those of you that are on here today,

432
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:40,640
you will make a commitment to this corporate prayer time

433
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:44,160
together for this nation, for the body of Christ,

434
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:47,440
to join with Margie and to stand with her

435
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,000
in this corporate prayer because I believe

436
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,280
we're birthing it right now on Zoom,

437
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,720
but I believe it'll start to awaken

438
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,200
in state after state after state,

439
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,720
the call of prayer like she said earlier,

440
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:03,120
where the body of Christ, not just pray,

441
00:23:03,120 --> 00:23:06,680
but pray together, pray together

442
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:10,120
because we must come together in prayer

443
00:23:10,120 --> 00:23:12,040
if we're going to see the kingdom,

444
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:14,600
rule and reign of God in the earth.

445
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,160
And I would ask you to invite other ministers

446
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:20,360
and other leaders to come and join us.

447
00:23:20,360 --> 00:23:23,520
We're gonna do it the first Saturday of every month

448
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:25,440
and we're gonna keep plowing away.

449
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,640
We're gonna keep pounding away.

450
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:31,360
I believe that one day we'll see hundreds of ministers

451
00:23:31,360 --> 00:23:35,440
gathered together to pray as representatives

452
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:38,840
of God's kingdom in the earth and we'll see a great change.

453
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:43,320
So Margie said earlier that she's gonna pray in the spirit

454
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:44,840
and we're gonna all pray in the spirit.

455
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,720
You have to unmute yourself if she can unmute you

456
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:51,280
and we'll all pray together and then she may mute you,

457
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:54,000
all of us at the same time because now

458
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:55,160
as we prayed in the spirit,

459
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:58,080
God's giving her something to release in English

460
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,800
so we could be able to understand what's being said

461
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:02,880
in the natural as well as understand

462
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:04,560
what's being said by the spirit.

463
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:06,960
So she will release that time

464
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,560
and then she may put us on mute again

465
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:11,440
and start or take us off mute again

466
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:13,240
and start praying in the spirit again.

467
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,240
So just kind of we're learning this,

468
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,640
this is new for all of us, kind of go with the flow,

469
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,160
just go with the God leading Margie

470
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,760
when she mutes and un-mutes, hallelujah.

471
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,240
And then if you have any needs,

472
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,600
not everyday type of little needs,

473
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,400
but I'm talking about big things that need to shift

474
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:35,000
regarding church, your nation, your city, your state,

475
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,760
put it in the chat box, especially if it's an emergency

476
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:40,120
and then we can look at those

477
00:24:40,120 --> 00:24:42,240
and if God leads Margie to focus on that,

478
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:45,240
we'll go to that and pray for those circumstances

479
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:48,360
and situations but make sure you put it in the chat box.

480
00:24:48,360 --> 00:24:52,160
So this way it doesn't hinder what Margie is doing.

481
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:55,160
And then I'm sure many of you come from churches

482
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:58,240
that know how to pray together in one accord.

483
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,240
There always has to be one leading.

484
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,000
Okay, we can't have all kinds of people

485
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,000
wanting to take prayer here, take prayer there,

486
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,200
take prayer there, has to be one.

487
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:10,840
And we join in in one mind and one accord

488
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:11,920
as God's leading Margie.

489
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:15,320
We follow with her as the spirit of God is leading her.

490
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:17,600
So there's that agreement,

491
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,320
there's that one accord, there's that oneness

492
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,440
as we go with her and follow her

493
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:24,480
as the spirit of God is leading us

494
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:26,760
in this time of prayer, hallelujah.

495
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,920
So please be patient with us, work with us,

496
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,880
be committed, invite other people.

497
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:36,120
Let's take back this nation through prayer, hallelujah.

498
00:25:36,120 --> 00:25:38,720
Let's change the body of Christ in prayer.

499
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:42,680
Let's lift up ministers where ministers will get the hunger

500
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,720
and fire to pray again and to come together

501
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:47,000
as the body of Christ.

502
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:48,360
We could do that.

503
00:25:48,360 --> 00:25:50,800
If it starts just with us, we could do it.

504
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,120
We could see it accomplished, hallelujah,

505
00:25:53,120 --> 00:25:55,320
but we have to commit to it

506
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,680
like they did in the New Testament church.

507
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:01,680
After Jesus ascended, they gathered in that upper room

508
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,440
and they stood in prayer until there was a birthing

509
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,600
of the spirit of birthing of the New Testament church

510
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,080
and God began to move all over the earth.

511
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:13,600
We are still receiving the blessings

512
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:17,040
of that upper room prayer today.

513
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:20,600
We're still benefiting for what took place at that time.

514
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:22,880
So if that happened with them,

515
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:25,360
I believe we're the latter day church,

516
00:26:25,360 --> 00:26:27,320
the latter rain church,

517
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:30,280
and I believe that God's getting ready to do the same thing,

518
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:33,080
to birth something in the earth like never before,

519
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,760
but it must start through prayer.

520
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:37,960
But thank you for joining us today.

521
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,320
And now I'll turn it over to Margot.

522
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:42,960
Can everyone unmute?

523
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:44,640
Are you able to unmute yourself?

524
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:46,760
Yes, good.

525
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:48,760
Thank you.

526
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,400
All right, so let's all just begin to pray.

527
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:53,520
Alla bop shari so-

528
00:26:53,520 --> 00:27:16,840
has ye heard

529
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:56,840
Father, you put me in the hand of the Lord.

530
00:28:56,840 --> 00:29:00,840
To find in much the other way you went,

531
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:04,840
to also set me in the hand of the Lord,

532
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:06,840
and not to disappoint you.

533
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:16,840
The name of Jesus is the name of Jesus,

534
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:22,840
and now we need to run this kingdom.

535
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:28,840
He is greater than anyone, and is not inflated by you.

536
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:30,840
Be a Buddhist.

537
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:38,840
Be a Buddhist.

538
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:44,840
Be a Buddhist.

539
00:29:44,840 --> 00:30:00,840
