Upping the anti in prayer

We had it when you get one hold ice cream. But we love that you get Holiday Inn Gene. It's not just you so. We until today at prayer in Time Tunnel the message he rapping the anti grip and I think we need to do this is something that is really really important. It is it it always gets to me that we that we can get 30-40 people together for an IGM, which that's okay, but then we can get for together for framing and that really irks me I'd really saddens me about the condition of a pre-law for the chairs that print meetings on what's convenient for family your kids to come to a praying mantis pain going to save for example as we have fun in the sun, and and it makes little difference when we change it to Florida for the winter because the the you're still in the midst of family time and remedies on The Voice. Family-friendly things are I realize that I realized that that driving it not Tommy's know for some people but unite still the hot needs to be for pre and we do cool small prayer. Then just a Sunday not cremating represents. I bought a hot needs to be passionately committed to prayer and if we know. It's like a couple that live in a house and then talk to each other and I am married couple that it might have commitment, but I'm not in conversation. That's not a real marriage is it it said they might not be legally married might be bound to each other. But if there is no conversation, that's not how it's meant to be.

And we was talkin in a used to talk with you until this week about some what it what is it to Hawaii from crossed. You know, what what happened to my wife from Crossing and and how can you find know the difference and as we doing that we used it and it and now leasing talking about a football thing. You can have ever been a problem with the game. You might be hugging the bowl the time, you know that the lines open for someone to score a try but you just don't toss it because you weren't all the glory and you try for yourself and get tackled. Mr. Troy problem could be that you're just scared of one of the apartments when I was playing rugby league in the under-12. There was an 11 year old in the opposition Italian 11 year old who was a very big bloke who had a beard and sideburns. I need to lay them. Had to bring a birth certificate every week or no one would let him fly. Now I saw that goes School quite a number Troy's because he would come charging out these big bully blocking describe a wide. It wasn't exactly fit but it didn't matter because the Living World stands there any joke online.

Because if he falls on me, I'm going to break so you can have a fear or problem. You're not but you still on that side. The point at which we walk away. Is when we no longer a servant of the Living God with no longer part of his team. Now, that's the point would someone wants to wife know when I make one scene. Yeah. I know when I struggle with anything you can struggle with the sentencing for number Yee's and not real it in yet. But to be uncrossed saw it and to be praying that God will help you to heal that and to be full him not against us in scripture says whoever is not for me is against me cuz they're only other time it's crossed. Sorry. So it's not quite sure what I should be means that we not in Christ, but it means that we could be a lot more efficient. If we were in here now, it is very limited because of pain comes down to a whole lot of individuals coming together and we can think like we let as a church and gets we are individuals and we have been given gifts, but you know what? answering wrists on relying on a captain in call Allie for Direction but for a strength and hope output of those who are in Christ have a total loss of those who are not in crossed do not have eternal life and hence some the second floor diarrea if you would have them so now this is eternal life that they may know you Jesus is praying is to the father so that I know the father of the only true God and Jesus Christ whom you have state So this is what eternal life is its not to sit down and say the sinner's prayer roll go through the Ryman road to conversion know they were useful ways to start on that part, But what a total loss actually is used to know him. That's why you scripture Union Seattle to Boston to make cross known as the most high or as the scripture says another place or Ava to be known by him so that they cease relationship and that's why the end of time when it comes to the Judgment, it really comes down to this one issue. Not what you've done into it's not what you have achieved not what mission you been involved in not what you planted not what you crying don't want you give a chase the other wise, but but to to to be known by by the Lord, I'm sorry for those who don't know the Lord doesn't matter what they list of credits that I think I have its depart from me for I never knew you I did not do this in your name and it's in your name depart from me for I never knew we don't want to be a part of that. We want to be those who know him and so I walking him is to know him and it's not I walk it's not a cocky walk. It's not always come to God as the Lisa party. We always come is the weak vessel, but that doesn't mean we have to come with that confidence. We come with confidence not because of a vessel. Because of his extraordinary love is powerful love that draws us into his his self.

that the God of all creation whom we currently can't even stand in the presence of all we would die because of a sin. That God was so holy that we can't even stand in front of him drawers off. Intro position where we can only have that fixed through his son Jesus. But where we can know him. well What an amazing privilege we have but we can't even take credit for the fact that we crossed the lawn and turn towards him. Jesus prays about the ones that the Lord had given him in John 16. We will look at that a little bit lighter the ones the Lord had given him. He doesn't think I am the Son of God approached some pretty good sermon jernard, and I'm pretty full of the Holy Spirit and end.

And that's what I thought now I can meet the prove that to you. What is this is total cooperation with the will of the father is not easy. It's not a shopping list the next slide, please so knowing the father is some is not to breed a shopping list. Sorry list to be very good thing very offended at one point because on the back of one of my doors in my bedroom when I was a teenager, I had a whiteboard that I want board at stuck to the the door and I had to be going freely staying there might have been on I-40 things on the prayer list tonight is the price for that and wrought smack at the top of the list was a good friend of mine named Adam. And he walked in my bedroom one died and the door and fungi Pandora on Kimmie closed on and something in the end of the song. I've been any stories 9 at the top of the list and you never told me you think I need prayer for that. So if he's he's a good thing, but but it must be just a masterpiece shopping list. It mustn't be a changing of the Lord's Prayer tomorrow will be done on Earth as it is as you will start in heaven. That's not what it is. And so we need to be really careful with the wide we pray because I want to say that the way that we pray can become on Dollar Tree. Not if we are trying to direct God it's not going to work. So we need to be careful in Saudi or creating a shopping list lyrics Lord, please the little guy with the Lord's Prayer and we could go through it and date. It is the traditional did Missy off the end because this is just right for Matthew 26 for these Our Father in heaven Hallowed Be Your Name Your Kingdom Come your will be done on Earth as it is in heaven. Give us to Dayal daily bread and forgive us and updates as we have forgiven at Denny's and lead us not into temptation. But Deliver Us from the evil one like us we go for the lawn use the story of Moses in Pandora. I mean actually was, Georgia,

As far as you know, we have close together at 4 total put a plug in to get to clocks Up In The End by the chapel in the Botanical Gardens and they they should be to just to the entrance of the chapel and the proximate to be that pray and Hillside sound 23. And sorry we must we must chicken and to think that people use the chapel out. They're not just for weddings and funerals and by the way up there now quite a few guy with wings and things been taking place in the end me to cancel facility and so they weren't necessarily be able to go to church to have their wedding or pasta so off they go and they use that facility or I'm sorry. That we just got caught that but I cuz we're not in control of it, but we still lucky to have a bush Chapel there that we can use and it's precious to think that you can go up there privately prayer LSU enter the the this little chapel for prayer as well as having a spot to sit in the shade and then across there with a beautiful garden around in the Attic cuz it's been done up to think ya can get me in this Monsoon by somebody is not even following the Lord but actually is good conscious I got they maybe they they've had a marriage breakdown in the family. I think I want I want to fonts on the prize. Is there a chaplain then I can be out there alone and I'm not disturb inside go off on themselves reading the Lord's pray very very important very very powerful. So that the Lord Tools to pry notice that old his prayer is not a shopping list again. It is asking that God's will will be done about CJ. So cool age will so why do I have to pray for the begun because after all he's all-powerful anyway, and you can tell him to do something different he's not going to do it anyway, so why do I have to ask for it? The point is by coming to him in humility. We cooperate with that. One of the things that's happening is we asked if the Lord's will be done on Earth as it is in heaven is that it means that we are seeking that the Lord's will be done, you know. Some ways we pray that it changes our attitude about prayer using the Lord's Prayer is very valuable because it changes to you. I deaf course will pray that all sorts of other things when we not yeah, we did we not just call and response prize. We're not just people who need to have a prayer book that's been written by someone else who pray about all sorts of things and they'll be paper with sicknesses that we we asked the Lord will heal and then specific things, you know. But the difference is that if the Lord tights that person We work then turn around and become angry at God for taking them will accept our Kai the prom and he was always that you will be done. We've asked for this person to be healed. But if you have games that this person should be brought home like at 5. Because first and foremost wise I surrender to your will and sorry the prices of not getting a yes in that even though you love the person that made a pasta way to be one of your family members has happened over there and do it up and went before I came here did happen to a family in this church with a the young daughter more time to be with the Lord and very sadly but the thing is that the panel off and the in the peace and the joy in our life comes from cyrinda not by taking the reins of a Life by by handing them over. So a prayer life must reflect that it must not optional. It must reflect that that he is in charge that it's his will not ask who's if we going is a shopping list God. Please do these. Please do that, please that you'll try and justify it from versus you might need my pick up the verse from the Old Testament says cast your bread upon the waters after many days will come back to you or you might pick up on the one that the from the scientist commit your plans to the Lord and He Shall establish them, but that doesn't mean that he's just going to do everything you tell him to do. That's the one Vines. You plans need to be planes about the kingdom of God being established in your life and end this world that they need to be plans that have plans that involve him. Now you might be asking for for things like your health and and and just as you asking for your person to be healed. That's okay. But when you present it to him known as our God has to say yes to this but you know you will is what I'm thinking first Bunch will let you know that that God I would really like to be healed from this. Woodland had chronic fatigue syndrome we pray for you. So let me know how he is before she was healed and when it was just so you could have you could have walked away from the fighting that talk his life was hot. There was a time when I had to pick her up and out of bed in the morning should have about three hours out of bed for hours may be sitting in a chair and not doing anything. I need at the end of those three or four hours. I pick her up and carry you back. It was a long time. And you know it when it started three weeks into my first church after Bible College. well somehow God still quadruple the sauce of the church still Gruen and die as she got a little bit better and was able to plan a petroleum industry that still goes today as well. But but but it was hot. And the thing is that primarily we have to think this is about cyrinda whenever you will lose load a serve. I'm yours. You are mine is a God, but primarily all I am is all I am the one who needs redeeming here. So I am not the one to paint the picture for the future. It's him who draws us into himself as a father in heaven Hallowed Be Your 9 your kingdom come your will be done on Earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. So is the saints of God provide for me and and he is if the powerful forgive us our debts Scenes as we have forgiven alligators and lead us not into temptation, but Deliver Us from Evil. Once again, this is this a protection that but but recognizing that the protection comes from merely from him the Prairies about surrender and even the prayer about forgiveness that gives us an obligation that we have to forgive. We can grab the next log plays Adam. that that prayer is is also

That prayer results house Orinda because you don't get to take the Forgiveness unless you actually hit learn how to forgive and so he came to himself again. If you want to forgive you got to have to learn to be like I am and and don't you want to be forgiven you have to learn to be like I am in to be a forgiver one who doesn't count the dates and take the day God is not an accountant if he was an accountant, he would be broke. Jesus forgive the Dead that's not a way to be millionaires it lysistrata deloff. I'll wait for an order to respect Bank in Sydney for about 3 months and and Highway in San Francisco. Now, let's just run it off and it was his debts from net from which factor was huge thing. And what do you want me to do? This is a guy through this girl. She said sometimes we put the paperwork through in Town Branch and a and a date somebody's going to credit card or a hassle on something and I defaulted and I can't pilot and the bank still to appoint. Like I just that's just the dates of the week. We've got to write it off to the text icon Apartments so that it's not about staying we can't do anything more with it and there's millions of dollars worth of dates does not fight until we bring them off and and he's the one who died in the last year and this is for all this thick should I wait every lawn is addictive wasn't pipe and sometimes between putting the paperwork through and actually getting Anything processed your brother Johnny, when's the Lord? I want eyes he's dead all front. And yeah, but we've already written off the pipe weight just going through the bank and suddenly we found out that we were running off. Not a date but a credit of $100,000 and $100 of money that's actually sitting in the bank. They they will really get to be fun. So I went through this fall and found really hundreds of dicks the title Polly Pine and maybe maybe they've got a hot date of $100,000 and I just paid $500 hungry between the paperwork and the end of it but it's still sitting there different one looks like and then sorry I can't was going to put every penny and make sure everything's right gone. He's not like that. And praise God that he's not like that or we would be had it we would be simply dead. He's not an accountant and he's definitely not an auditor is not a text. I should imagine he's in the business of family. And he is in the business of holding and he is in the business of you. Because he loves you and he drools you into himself. But we need to cooperate with that in a prayer and not staying to loot from him and try and tell him what to do Express how hot yes. And yes, definitely ask for the things that that I can do that hot, but the dominant thing about a Praying needs to be about cyrinda. Otherwise win when Trouble Comes you're still going to be a ski lift it from me. Nothing else will do. That's what I want. I'm just going to keep asking until I get it or do we keep asking until we realized that God is giving something else. Yeah, that that that light pole when he has three times so it for what was probably is also thought to be healed and the Lord said to me my grace is sufficient for you. And often because we had that as an example inscription off and people just don't get to accept that God's grace is sufficient and it is its powerful. the Jesus price resource waffles in John 17. I pray for them. I am not praying for the world. But for those you have given me for they are yours. So I noticed here but he's not just praying randomly for everybody. Sometimes you got to pray many things and the whole thing. We want Revival it's gone.

And you go to the store and then you next thing, you know your Mic Mac Donald Trump to go. Good night. Sleep sleeping praise that I guard my shopping list directing God. I want you think God should be doing and and and the background I'm thinking the background, you know, there's not a lot of room for God to my copies mobile. He wants to do it because you've made up your mind what he what he should be doing for him then why isn't God cooperating with you? Your will be done. You was God's not mine. Surrender, so we do get however to to be prying into the events of the world. Would you get to pray for a ungodly head of the head of cancel? Your IMEI ran in and said we got his agent may God forgive him for that to apply father. Full ride lacrosse to come in front of this man will return to the National Rod frame to see that the Lord there. Would you get the price for those who walk and causing trouble in churches and nice who are running amok in all sorts of life. We pray for them with love, but we first and foremost you will be. That's the first and has to be the first in all parts. So Jesus price is not praying for the world has very clear in that but for those that you have given me so another words the conversions and not for the cleverness of Jesus. They are the gift of God. And so when he looks at the church Judas isn't in it. He wasn't Papa. It's old eyes. You have given me and the father knows who he is given. Pictures with an apostle. I was headed to buy trolls. I just before with the Bible College with a guy who was thoroughly convinced the Judas would still be in the kingdom of heaven and we supposed to be scripture. Yes. It was better to have a millstone tied and truck in the ocean or better friend that it wasn't bull. He would not be in the kingdom is similar to bite with the same character bad about Simon the Sorcerer who initially made a commitment to Christ, but then tried to pay money for the apostles to 2 to get him to have the gates jeronica paid us all that but he was full of evil and would have no part of that that I said, I didn't learn in history that song that we don't have to plant a cult and that I found in Osceola g a statue of the guy that took over from him in the Next Generation around the Ryman area. So he actually started to speak out that was that was all about gnosticism. That's the type of stuff that some of Jones lives were beating the game. I factory reset an account from about 300 yd. I which you can't know for sure the accuracy of but it's actually that John the Apostle and it's a bad and going to a communal Bath House in this guy that took over from Solomon was supposed to be in that bath house. And the story that is you miss. It's a history book a butt about where the check your open the story in this these that Jordan comes running out of there because he's afraid the roofer for now the God didn't get converted. He started a cult. Sorry, we we we see this and crossed he's praying for all those whom God has given conversion can't be done by you you can cooperate with the spirit. We have a mission. But he is the one who converts sewing and Saints this not clever evangelist too many people came to the Lord on the Billy Graham preaching but you know, what is not a remarkable preacher? The Holy Spirit was in it. And there was power in it because God was in it your will be done on Earth as it is in heaven.

John 17:11 says Holy Father protect them by the power of your name the nine you hate you gave me so that they may be one as we are one. So Jesus price that we would be like the father that we would be one that we would have Unity that we would be together that Oneness Is Not Innocent green. That's not what it's a pants. And Oneness is in Jesus and the father that is the only place that we have one less. No wonder we have denominations. No wonder that we have disagreements for the place where we have one. This is in the lordship of Christ and that only happens in surrender. It only happened in humility, but that's what was prideful. That's what Jesus was asking that we would be one as he and the father one. My prayer is not this 15in N7 my prayer is not that you take them out of the world, but that you protect them from the evil one the not of the world even as I am not all of it. I love that. Jesus said to his father you not these once you've given me about not of this world that are of the kingdom of God, they are Eternal creatures and they can be taken out of this world until you're ready to take them home. So I and they will solve a lot sit on the hill just showing the path to cross. So he's not asking for them to be received at these plants and it will bring more fruit. But he reminds that they are not of this world you and I are not of this world. So don't make it your home. It's your temporary Abode. I was thinking Jeffrey of you around families whole it I have stand there and thinking is it a holiday has no, I don't want to come here for a hold. I want to meet Haven. I don't want to come back here. Do you want to come back into Woods Pool Scene? We wouldn't take a whole entire heater before you came from heaven. Know why once we did we want be looking back and thinking o g I wish I had another two weeks back. They're not going to happen that easy out her. We are home bound and every day we get one day closer to the goal. But that make no mistake. Then go isn't a house or superannuation the can or holiday. The goal is face-to-face Union with God. Has the start he off but it needs to start in Europe rail off. Saw that every wind and Doctrine and teaching and and it's fellowship and also stopping then some wave going through Johnson fight you because the unity is in the parties to Jesus. He's he's 9 he's 9 in him. We are not of this world. What you don't find in Jesus's prayer is interesting as what you do van. We done van. For example, God. Please convert King Herod. Actually doesn't even witness to King Herod that prophecy about him dying as a lamb before the slaughter that he's quite that's a bad can hear it cuz he wasn't quite before the Sanhedrin Tolley. It's probably about that but I didn't answer it was partly about the same age and say anything to me with contemptible. It was not worth putting an argument up Paul. He had called discussion with so it's that discussion about truce with with Paulette, but we can hear it. So we don't say this prayer that says God, please convert King herod's old ponies pilot. Oh, yeah converting the Jewish high can swim seventy Elders, that would be helpful here to the crucifixion wouldn't been happening in and if you just Stephanie Elders, you know then then the whole thing can be on for the purpose of God. The purpose of God was that Jesus would die.

Jesus had a shopping list prayer. It was just don't do this to me. And then yeah, you you said the good will come across my path and and and and I want blessing blessing blessing. That's a spoiled brat. That's what that is. We live in a world of scene of warfare where people are going to hell. Any don't know kind of hell because of all of the just the things that I hear, but they going to hell because they not choosing the presence of God. But they do have free choice and God's not going to take your prayer and take away their free choice because of your prey. How he desires that he has true worship and that counts as people eat people truly choose him in the garden before the crucifixion. He said to them, my soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. That's what he says 3 to soft oils before you guys to pry and yet Winnie price you didn't say is not my will but as you will to the father, so even though he's completely overwhelmed by what he's about to fight and I suggested much of that is about being considered seen before the father for us. Not just the agony of the Cross but he's he's in that submission your will and is directly towards into the Lord's Prayer. Doesn't it? You will be down with disease in here and here he is praying it is unlocked. Deb the lordship of Christ, you know, it's a sin the father nothing else you notice but the lordship of Christ it not some tasks Fellowship is good and sweet and bring your church family together and doing things is lovely but what you not sussie's cross that isn't that is the same time from 1720. My prayer is not for them aligned. I pray also for those who will believe that's your me in May through that message that all of them, maybe one father just as you are in me, and I mean you And so price for us to be one. Chase Chase Court will do not try to menichini. He will not let you anyway. All you get if you try to manage gout in your print a lot if you get frustrated and you'll stop thinking what are you doing going? But in King James he'll be answering back. Matthew. it's not a it's a it's a surrender are we not ordering him around that is not what is about Father your will be done in me as it is in Jesus trial that propri. That's all that's caught a really just from your will be done on Earth as it is in heaven. Jesus Is A Slice of Heaven come to Earth because God is completely writing him completely representing the father. He is exactly like the father in all essence. So my the father's will be done in me as it is already in Jesus and that takes it from the world. Now your will be done on Earth as it is in heaven. It takes it to a very personal thing. Your will be done in me. father Rock Me change me. I surrender all as the song guys and another guys All to Jesus I Surrender father create Jesus of fresh in May.

Let's let's let's pray. Jimmy Fallon I want to thank you for the Lord's Prayer and I want to apologize for the way that some sometimes we as Christians pray. Sometimes we looking out and and we want to see your hand do certain things and then diarrhea hot might be be good in wanting to see goodness happen father. Your will is much bigger than just your goodness your your knowledge or understanding your Rochester has your Justice and your mercy. Father they are only completing you are not the father. We pray that you would continue to magnify CrossFit in us that we too would be able to look in the midst of the most distraught terms and think yeah, but not my will but yours be done. Well, I'm at the Lord. Create crossed with in me everyday, then I might be more and more like him. I pray this in Jesus name, I mean
