Tyrion talk about the power of Prayer.

I think a lot of times when we talked about this there's some misconceptions that what is it? Is it in our ability to speak or is it in God's ability to answer?

What is it like a lot of times when we think of prayer we we had this idea of if we pray for my question is why do we pray? Not you in the action of praying for why are you praying? What is the reasoning behind it? And that's what we're going to talk about in Jeremiah 33 and 3.

fixmylife cool call me and I will answer you and show you Great and Mighty things fenced-in in Hidden, which you do not do not know do not distinguish and recognize have knowledge of and understand. I want to say this prayer is always about your response. You're not the one initiating you're the one responding to what has been initiated always go back to when I'm at the doctors and I'm doing getting the physical done and I'm sitting in the chair. He grabs this this Hammer looking tool that looks like a triangle and what does he do with it? Thank goodness. Hit me in the head while but he cracks my knee and my knee responds to the impact. Where is you responding to the impact?

You follow me. I'm going to make a bold statement. I want you to follow me cuz we're in talk about this for a couple weeks the importance of prayer the power of prayer and types of prayers. The next side is prayer is not the answer. Never realize that's what we do we go first answer. Thank you. Thank you, Emma. Isn't it crazy how we think prayers answer till the minute something happens? We pray everything. Okay. That's the answer. In Jeremiah 33 and 3 is God's actually inviting us in he says call unto me and I will answer I will show you hidden they can I say something when you're calling out to God and he's answering you. It's just going to answer you with things. You don't normally understand the reason with.

It's out of your reasoning. Let's look back. Let's look again at that verse.

This calling me and I'll answer you and show you Great and Mighty things fence and and headed which you do not.

Come on. Give her wonder why a lot of times that we we we go into prayer we pray and we like that could have been got that was really off. That was really off-the-wall you ever do that this time. I was going into prayer and I was praying and all the soon as I'm praying. I see this gigantic wall of fire. It was so real in front of me.

With that being said I stop price.

Scared the Daylights out of me. I was like what in the world?

And then you seems like okay, maybe I'll have to go into scripture and show you the word says he'll build a wall of fire around you.

So I'm sitting there praying and I stopped because this was something that was unfamiliar to me. Let God show me a big blazing wall of fire and I'm like wow. What am I thinking? What am I going to do? What it what did I do wrong? What is your fire? All the sudden my reasoning tries to kick in and all these reasons of what is this? Why is this happening instead of waiting? to hear God answer

so we went in the parrot tell God who was on our heart, but we weren't going in to really hear what he has to say about it. Didn't go in the really hear what he wants to reveal, especially if it goes against the normality of what I'm thinking. Are you following me? So we're talkin about

he's the answer and when he wants to do is to equip you with answers. So you stop asking questions what you did here in a place to just give answers. Because your answer is God there's an old song that says I found the answer for the world today. Above them is no other because Jesus is the way. The class goes on he came out like in the 80s or 70s.

Next song please. Another step that we're going to hit his head on his prayer is an answer and it's a step in Tori receiving your answer. It's not you getting me answer. It's not you gaining it. It's not you haven't it's a step. What is / really I would say that prayer is a position. It's not standing or balling or falling face down. That's not the type of positions I'm talking about. Where is a position its you positioning yourself to receive?

Can we say prayers the prayer is the answer is not the answer. Is but what is praise a step towards the answer? Another one pair is always in response to God. It's not you trying to it's God has invited to listen. He has invited us to call and tell him he has invited us to accidents table. But why do we always take the bigger seat? Give me notice that do you find yourself when you're talking with God as someone sitting at the table with him enjoying a meal or find yourself being the Samaritan woman who I believe he lied when he preached the real acid God's it was no better than a dog. Do you find yourself taking the approach of a dog or as a child invited to the seat?

Is what you're talkin and who you're talkin with and that moment will Define and how the angle the position that you're speaking to a man. Will Define how you're going to receipt to the woman beg for bread. She eat the meat table scraps is your prayer life full of table scraps.

Or is it full? Of the best meats and vegetables and wine.

You know, I never felt so we really desire being if you understand who you are. You will desire to have the best meets the best food the best wine. But if you don't see who you are. Yo big like a dog. and Hope and not the whole biblical but wishfully thinking that maybe today I'm going to get a scrap.

another thing that we think prayers about is the number of people

A lot of times we think prayer is about how many people are praying about the problem? I'm guilty of that. Okay. I'm going to get everyone together. We're going to all pray about this one problem. And we think by our numbers. That's the reason why our prayers getting answered. How many people ever been there?

Been there quite understand prayer.

Nicholas hold on. Hold on. Hold on. There's a promise from Jesus. Hold on and is found in Matthews and it's Matthews 1819 and 20 it says this again, I tell you if two of you on Earth agree harmonize together make a symphony together and about whatever that means anything and everything they ask and it will come to pass and be done for them by my Father in heaven for will whoever wherever two or three are gathered together as my followers in keyword in and into my name there. I am in the mix.

Go back to this one. Can we hear Jesus say this thing? It's a we thing because he said we're two or three are gathered together in his name whatsoever. They harmonize agree on frequent has that the frequency guys haven't has a frequency. And you get on the same wavelength with God that means one Accord.

She says whatsoever. You ask will be done will be given whatsoever. How many people have got their numbers together. They got the group of people. They prayed about it and nothing happened.

Some may trust in horses some may trust in chariots, but we will trust in the name of our God say that again some may trust in horses some may trust in chariots, but we will trust in the name of our God.

Can you get your chariot to grab your horses you get them all together you go and make a big showing who Rodger try really hard. Your emotions are all into it. You're in this big storm called the hype of it.

Don't be real bad. You're getting this storm called the hype of it and you because you're just totally invested in it your mind and emotions are there and really your emotions leading the charge hoorah. At what ends up happening is you and then all the sudden it doesn't move. And then the next thing the enemy does is bringing this thing that I realize more Christians deal with an anyting this appointment.

There it is. There's more Believers disappointed. how to make a bold statement with. There's no disappointments

Play I don't I don't buy that app. You're not disappointed at God, you're disappointing that with didn't happen. So with God and God through God no disappointments.

how to roll my sleeves to bring every Applebee's time

How come we get our numbers and pick Riley groups and we pray and nothing happens because we're missing something. We're praying by our numbers and in our strength and we think by the many people and many numbers and many strips that we can get. This person is really good that would really give prophetic word and we lied and we get this system down pack and then we think because of our system. This is what's going to change things.

I'm being real.

And then we tried it and it didn't work. So then we look at what Jesus said and we know he says it but we chop it up as it's not for me.

I've been taking a bold statement to disconnect isn't with God is with us. It's in what we're feeling to see if you were failing to live into ourselves over to we only pray when there is a crisis.

The really when we get down to it, but time when Christian sink in its when there's conscience. because we're so scared of things not going the way we

prayer is not about your numbers. It's not a numbers game about the promises made by God.

We get our group so we trust in our groups, but are you trusting in God? There's a salted. I'm Standing on the Promises.

What are you standing on? Are you Standing on the Promises of God? Are you standing on crisis of your situation?

There was a man who built a house. And one person built it on Sand and the other one built it on the rock. Because when you build on The Rock when things look like they didn't work out you don't fall over collapse into Calamity do stanforth. Do you have a better testimony of faith in God?

Are you the person that built on the stand built on your numbers of people built on built on what you can gather together and your strength? Will there's a problem for uses in the one gathers in another another person eats from when he Gathers. What that's means that Jesus said, you know, you build a big barn because of all your riches, but then another person gets them.

So you're got your Big Pine and you're going to live than instantly. And now another person gets them. What are you trusting and when you pray are you trusting in your ability to pray for his ability to answer?

Some people say walk. I don't really hear God when I pray this problem because you're trusting in your ability to get his attention and not in the truth that you already have it.

You already have God's attention. This is the eyes of the Lord go to and fro over the Earth looking for those who we can show himself strong in whose hearts are fully his well if Jesus is living in your heart you're already has. I'm getting excited put that down. Already his you have his attention there are angels waiting for you to move. God is calling you to their assignment is to allow what God has written in his book about you come forth. Beat the Devil comes to steal kill and destroy it comes to steal your peace still your joints feel your confidence in your story that God has written about you. It's not this thing. I picked you. Not you I pick you up this thing. We're God's in before the foundation of the world Christ already died.

Come to me because my children are reflecting him. And for that reason the name of God is blasphemy among the Gentiles because of you. Do you know because the way you walking and carrying this thing called truth? You're making it because you're robbing people. You're making it on your body by what you're demonstrating and representing. So no one wants what you have.

To Chris's place where we can demonstrate and walk like Jesus to where he becomes irresistible.

You know, my wife's cookies are irresistible. I love other people's cookies. When is my wife's cookies? Because when we got together the first thing she made me was cookies.

And I was just like what kind of cookies are these? She's like these are maple cookies. Never had Maple cookies. All I had was oatmeal raisin sugar cookies and snickerdoodles who this is a special cookie. There was no ganja and it was just her because she made it. So I had her cookie recipe.

You got to come over and try these cookies. He comes over he bites into the cookie. He looks at his wife and says you got to step your game up.

Albert Brothers if I'll have to introduce you guys what day to him?

But what I'm saying is Jesus wants to be irresistible to the world around but if we are resisting him, he won't be irresistible to them.

oops Be ready if we hit people the sons of God are resisting him his word his ways his will with other people. Will not find him irresistible.

Do you understand what I'm saying?

Because we have to learn how to pray in the promise to trust in God not in meth is a scripture that says him that trust in man realized in the snare means a trap. We've been bamboozled.

I've been bamboozled by thinking it's my strength and numbers and not in the promise of my father and not in its ability to give because he's a good father to his place of God is good, but how come I never get it? Come on. How come you never works out for me?

Come on. How come when I pray nothing happens they pray I see they see things.

and then we get in this comparison thing between people well, they must be really spiritual and I'm really not.

Is that really good? No. We are all children of God. We are all. We have all been baptized if we all have received the spirit of promise.

Maybe it's what I'm failing to see. That's causing me to stumble. Maybe my failure to see causes me to stagger like a person in the dark tripping over things. Maybe if I would focus my ability on him and look towards him. I would see a lot clearer. I would hear a lot clearer. I would move a lot easier.

I'm going to make the week pray most of the time in church. We pray in response to crisis and not in response to who Christ is.

I guess ready.

In church, we pray in response to crisis and not in response to who Christ is.

We're going to happen happened and what we're afraid that will be.

I pray for people it's not in a place of I don't want them to die.

I print people in the place of God says if I lay hands they'll recover God says if then this will happen if my people which are called by my name, I'm not playing because the world's getting Doom and Gloom e

Dude, it's dark out here, man. I just pray for the Rapture to come to you.

Pokemon and then we have a good teacher but this is happening in this building a Ministry from and getting more people to cover and hiding duck from the bullets.

What happened to the righteous are bold as lions?

Drinking a step into a crisis and brought life. The apostille stepped into crisis is in bulk rice. What are you stepping into?

I just be up here and stay still because I'm guys feeling. What are you willing to step in to see what I pray? It's not in a place of our own now. I'm afraid of what's going to happen. I pray in a place of expecting results. of what this word says Do you understand that God has given us his word for reason. a scripture every little one Is profitable for Doctrine for teaching for correcting Method Man of God?

To live out a walk like Bengali.

So maybe I'm not maybe it's not my job to pray because of Crisis but pray because who Jesus is and then that place I actually can recall and to him and put my place myself in a position to receive an answer.

Where we talk about prayer for next couple weeks guys. I'm excited because this and this dude named Mark. Frecka is his wife your who's lln stand up. Hit her hand clap.

Putting together a prayer room.

Prayer is the step towards the answer. God is the answer. I hope you get your pencils out cuz I want you guys to remember this.

Prayer and I put the ER in at parentheses because use the ER means emergency right you're in the ER room. Guess what guys I want you to be in the spiritual ER room and it means expecting great results.

To prayer P4 pair and position of the peeing parachute the prep work. You're prepping you're in position. That means you humbled yourself during a place of getting ready to receive from God. And now that you're in a place to receive from him, that means what do scripture in the back that come before his presence with Thanksgiving bright with all prayer requests be known to God. So you're in the position to pray now because you're thankful. You're not playing or what are we going to do? You stop playing like that. You're in the right position to have a request before him and say, how you doing.

How you doing, Heavenly Father?

I want to spend time with you.

Types of pears guys, we're going to talk about him. There's pairs that are just by buying on the go travailing prayers for your perfume something out as a woman who was first in a child. And all the way a sister prayer, you know where that's found in scripture Daniel.

Daniel travailed in prayer Evan an angel came to do listen. Hurt you on day one, but there was a war going on in the heavenlies. There was a battle and the Prince of Persia withstood me so I had to go back and grab this other big angel named Michael. He's very strong and now we're here.

I've caught your belly not giving up. Do you know Daniel Prayed in response to God not trying to get a response out of God. Daniel kids are reading this this this prophecy and he finds out in this prophecy that got prophesied through the prophet. Mom is taking Jeremiah that Israel was going to go and take a good after 70 years or so that you would visit his people when they called out to him.

He said if we calling to him he'll answer. Daniel saw the prophecy got into position to request and hat.

He started to act sick and get prepared and you get in position to request before God and then you act by yielding to the holy spirit this weekend position. We pray we act by our own understanding.

And then we realize how much we don't understand.

Well, that didn't work out. Well, maybe it was I don't know why I put one together plus one together doesn't equal to what am I missing? Maybe you're missing the factor called God.

Do it with your formula. Let's go with God. Don't like to ruin people's formulas.

People who like no. No, no one can get baptized in the Holy Spirit unless we lay hands on them and they pray in tongues. That's what they would do. If it's not true. It is to rent a place we preach maybe you could try to make a formula out of God.

Maybe need to quit trying to formulate God. And start to get to know him. And you allow his Spirit to do whatever she wants to do. So the the Y is why this is why yield to the Holy Spirit to when you're in position, you're requesting you're acting you to get what he wants to do you to his order his because that's what Jesus said. He will guide you into all truth Jeremiah 33 and 11 and I will reveal things to you. You do not understand. He wants to take you Into the Depths. How can you take you to the depths if you're still tripping at the seashore?

If you're still seeing the water's too cold.

If you're saying I'm a time for this. Not now God all my time. I thought your times were in his hands.

This is a very important part of prayer expect results. Do you know where that would I pray? I do not prepare for the worst. I make no prepping for the worse. I make prepping for the best. Because what I do after I healed and hear him defines what I really believe. Like no, it's okay. I know the word said he's going to send a flood but I'm not going to really build this Arc. I'll get the material in the wood, but just going to sit. I'm not going to build it.

No, I didn't expect results results.

results David results

Come on, this risk involved believe in stand in the promise of God, or you going to live by the crisis on hand. Because whatever hand is what you receive. Finnicum Parker with the hand of God says in his word is not slack concerning his promises. It is right here or you're going to step in hand and partner with the crisis and run in circles and realize you and I still didn't get into the Promised Land.

You must expect great results. I don't play with out expecting great results.

I'm expected writing Melanie to go if you get blessed cuz we bless them. I'm expecting more favor on their lies. I'm expecting another one.

dog Factor expecting different results

pretty people for healing I expecting to get healed and when I don't see he lie, I do not allow disappointments to grab ahold of my eyes and heart.

What are you doing to say? Okay, father you sent this I didn't see this. I'm going to see this. For the next person I come for the family in the middle of the other circumstance that went in opposition to what God promised is.

Let me say that again.

You ready for this world? You ready? I comfort the family because of the circumstance that wanted to exalt itself against the knowledge of God. Bringing into captivity every thought to The Obedience of Christ. I want something goes away and then wrong I don't say what this must have been God's will. What is word is this perfect will written out for us.

So when it goes away, I know who did it was an enemy that comes to steal kill and destroy the truth. I'm there for them to the will of God.

I look at Jesus says this I pray in faith. Disappointed when I get upset at the end of May.

How come we get more mad at God than the devil?

what a day instead of getting mad at

why didn't you do this?

A story of Joe. He says the Lord gives he takes away and then at the end of it, that's a joke. I didn't do any of those bad things. I'm so good that I'm going to bless you beyond what you had in the beginning.

What would you rather do dog? Why didn't you do something? Show me this is real stuff man. Because people have lost people because of drug overdose and they prayed and they were believing for a miracle.

Show me pictures for sickness and it didn't work out because their child to raise a child up in the way. He should go party and there let me know perverse lifestyle.

an atheist

hi dare to challenge you and say stand in the promise. I did a child with you to say God is Not slack concerning his promises. Do not allow what you see and the temporary the momentary to Define what God has said. Because he is faithful we don't pay for really mean loyal to fulfill his word.

toll-free to family because of suicide

this is real stuff back and tell them that it's depression. I can say depresses the demon and people get mad at me for saying depression is a demon. but then when they kill themselves

Well, they were very sick. I get it. Jesus still called the devil. something real and family whose son committed suicide

Does a believer? Church has been taught some controversial statements. I'm opening up a can Hallelujah. The church has been taught. That suicide is the most unforgivable sin. And don't forget this for suicide. But Jesus is the only sin that unforgivable in this life. And the life to come is blaspheming the holy

Submit we got our wires crossed because of what we see in the natural.

Instead of saying well, I'm sorry about that it listen.

Jesus and his Mercy is great. And the only thing that's unforgivable its timing spirit. That's not your license to go and take your life. I'm telling you. This is what Jesus says not what the popular Christian thinking is right now. against popular thinking

the Jewish Society had this big structure or needs a religion thing going and Jesus went totally against it.

expect great results guys

And if you get heartbroken in the process of expecting great results. if it goes not the way you were praying for him believing for can I challenge you to walk by faith and not by what you saw in front of you?

When it does go all the way God says it can. But that being encouraged meant to your faith to keep believing. but when it doesn't I want you to still pray. Heartbreak is real. Disappointment because things didn't go the right way is real. But I believe God wants his church to get revenge not disappointed. We're going to talk about what getting revenge. How do you get revenge on the devil? The Bible says if someone robs you they pay it back seven Dodge.

What do scared we're only playing in crisis? We will never plunder hell.

Are you guys ready to join Robinhood and beasts memory, man?

skinny jeans and leggings

So with that being said guys just want to tell you guys I love you. I do. I'm not saying it because it sounds nice. I love you guys. I pray for you guys. I want the best for you guys.

I want to share with you teach you guys how I'm learning how to but I tell you what the Lord says he is Jehovah Rapha the one who takes a bitter thing. And make it sweet.

to father will you take the bitter things that happened in our life? From situations to people as you allow yourself to breathe on it and make it sweet God we ask for payment for all the things enemy stole from us our joy, our peace. prosperity our family in our nation

we asked for it all back. in Jesus name Barbie head is bowed eyes closed. If you're sitting here today, and you never start a relationship with Jesus, you never been born again. That means burst a new from God. You never had got Spirit living inside of you. You heard many stories about God, but you never asked for a personal relationship.

Barbie eyes closed and hit his balls that you put your hand in the air.

Okay. I see it now as a church body. We're going to pray with you and I'm going to share this with you. Jesus said whatever comes out of your mouth comes from your heart. So it's just this simple. If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and you believe in your heart. God has raised him from the dead you shall be saved which means made whole he'll deliver set free born again.

So if you feel that this is your own free will and choice that you want to do this then repeat after me. And church family. Would you guys repeat it with us since she's not doing it or he's not doing it alone, but we're doing it together. Cuz that's what the body does Jesus.
