  10. God richly loves you.

  11. Welcome to the logo streamer are with God savant Reverend

  12. Doctor Joseph bar Being, head Pastor of Harvest Chapel International Commercy.

  13. And now to today's message.

  14. Amen, let's take our gold fashion from Joshua one verse eight.

  15. The spoke of the Law shall no depart out of

  16. my mouth, but I shall meditate in it today at night,

  17. that I may observe to do according to all that

  18. is written in it. But then I will make my

  19. way prosperous, and then I will have good success. Amen,

  20. God richly bless you. Why don't you take your seats?

  21. So let's see how best we can round up a

  22. man of other in prayer.

  23. Hallelujah.

  24. Our text has been from Look chapter eleven, verse one.

  25. Now it came to pass as he was praying in

  26. a certain place when he seized that one of his

  27. disciples said to him, Lord teachers, to pray as John

  28. also taught his disciples.

  29. Amen.

  30. So fundamentally, God demands holiness before the conversation can even begin.

  31. Be holy, for I am holy, hallelujah.

  32. So not only holiness, humility, And once again I'm using

  33. the worst Intentionally. God is God, but he has condescended

  34. to stoop down and be friends with us. Let us

  35. not see God as acle equal cra and reveal him.

  36. Amen.

  37. Because we say that helps you, because then you tremble

  38. at God's way, the church will be a healthy place.

  39. You have much more effectiveness in our prayer efforts. If

  40. we all look, say God, for who it is.

  41. That said that since I gave my life, I'm always

  42. running to I'm always running, I'm always running to check.

  43. I'm always running.

  44. And it's all because there is something that you lose,

  45. that the peace that you lose, the joint that you lose,

  46. the fear of God that tells you that God has

  47. spoking and therefore you must obey. I don't want to

  48. go back into nightmares.

  49. So when he speaks it, it's so to keep you.

  50. If you do, stop you being on holy entertaining on

  51. holy thoughts and all those things. You want to go

  52. back to Egypt and going self and the pharaoh. Some

  53. of us are not able to maintain our deliverers or

  54. even get it, because no, you must fear God and.

  55. Truck close to me and creep go and depend on him.

  56. He is your life. Hallelujah. Amen.

  57. So we are when we petition any instructions, how well

  58. are we prepared to take those instructions and implement them

  59. the Holy Spirit of God halenelujah. He's giving us a

  60. guide and he's going to teach us. He's going to

  61. help us. He's going to do all that. Haleelujah. Let's

  62. quickly run through. We have looked at God as as

  63. holy God as Yes, God is so God is king

  64. as well. Very important when you approach a king, you

  65. need to recognize and respect establish divine protocol. Byble say

  66. God is in his holy tempo, and let all the

  67. head be silent before him.

  68. Hallelujah. We see it.

  69. And if I perish I perish the way that Esther

  70. said that. I said, no, he's king, he's my husband.

  71. But he's the king, and there are laws, there are

  72. protocols that govern having.

  73. Access to him.

  74. If you approach, it doesn't lift up acceptor of race.

  75. You will be immediately killed more like we should. You

  76. see those days, they saw the kings as representatives of

  77. the gods, and so they revered them, ruling one twenty

  78. seven provinces, not something small, giving directions or maybe hallelujah.

  79. He's in communication with so we must give him that space,

  80. that reverence. It's the same thing. Yes, God is our dad,

  81. it's a king. It's holy, he's our master, is our creator.

  82. Demands humility. It calls for holiness, but it also calls

  83. for respect and reverence for divine protocols. And that's how

  84. Comejesus is giving the protocols to observe. Hallelujah amen. In

  85. Matthew twenty two, you realize that that's a story there

  86. about the king throwing the banquet when the reviter gets it.

  87. In Tenna, he said, go to the three, invite all

  88. of them, and then they came in low and behore.

  89. When the king came in is any When he was

  90. going around low and goyo somebody naked.

  91. He said, wow, naked. He said, how dare you disrespect

  92. the king's banquet? And you come in and sit in

  93. there naked? You denigrade the established protocol. The king has

  94. invited you, he said. Everybody was in their wedding dress,

  95. but this person alone said me, I don't doing any

  96. wedding dress and came to Sydney.

  97. The Bible said.

  98. The king commanded that they should take him out and

  99. bind him and throw him back.

  100. More. Let don't disrespect the king.

  101. Yes, he went out of his way and said everybody

  102. should come in, but recognize that he's a king. There's

  103. protocol that's in Matthew twenty two, eleven to forty. Don't

  104. come in naked, don't come into the kingdom. Just do

  105. your own thing. No halenlujah. So all of a sudden,

  106. now what we are saying in this verse, the first

  107. verse of chapter one, that eleven one, is that the

  108. point is this, you are not going to get far

  109. with your prayer enterprises if you know very little about

  110. the receiver of the recipient of our petitions, the king

  111. of the universe that we call God, our Father in heaven, Haleeluiah.

  112. And for me, that is why we need to be

  113. taught and to know just how to pray. So the

  114. guy was right in asking that no teaches how to pray.

  115. Jesus was not your spraying.

  116. It was praying based on knowledge, information, wisdom and understanding

  117. of who God is and the ways of God and

  118. the Holy Spirit has been given to you and I

  119. to help us hallely Luriah, to learn about God and

  120. the kingdom that he presides over. Say a big a man,

  121. that's two. So he said to them, when you pray,

  122. say our Father in heaven, hallow.

  123. And be your name, your Kingdom.

  124. Come.

  125. Your will be done on earth as it is in army.

  126. So yeah, we looked at the Father would of God.

  127. We learned about the Father, which is a key step

  128. we are saying an effective prayer. Why because God has

  129. brought us into a covenant relationship with God of the universe.

  130. Hallelujah Amen.

  131. Remember it is here that out of love, has gone

  132. out of his way to bring us into this relationship.

  133. And that's why we say it's all.

  134. By grace and God is solely responsible for it, and

  135. he has promised on oath that he will hanner all

  136. his responsibilities and obligations as a dad. We went over

  137. elade every responsible that day. Because they know you will

  138. grow up. They know that you should grow up. They

  139. will do everything in their power to help you grow up.

  140. And I told her as we disciplined them, we pinched them.

  141. We did everything for them so that they will learn

  142. and grow up and take up responsibility.

  143. Amen, we use the carrot and the kid. Amen. When

  144. they close from school, we said, what's.

  145. The dishes when you do this, which was all part

  146. of the training, so that they will also grow up

  147. and take up their response.

  148. There is a war to be fought. There is an

  149. ongoing cosmic war. That every child of God has a

  150. certain role to pray. That's where prayer come see and

  151. the studying of the way so we can connect with

  152. what God is doing and as well in these times

  153. and seasons, you can't just loiter around.

  154. You must allow yourself to be taught and apply the

  155. truth and be responsible. He said, if I am a

  156. dad to you, where is my ana? And dad is

  157. supposed to be honored by their children.

  158. That's what end. They respected us when we give them this.

  159. Afterire point in time. They do it by routine. They

  160. do it routinely when they come home. They they just

  161. do it. Now, you don't talk, they just do it.

  162. Why they have mature they know that this is what

  163. my dad, this is what my parents would expect.

  164. That I will do. Then you are taking up responsibility.

  165. Hallelujah Amen. And you can see this in Abraham's relationship

  166. with God. In Genesis seventy one, Best for Wonderful, God

  167. came told Abraham, you know in fifteen, that's when they

  168. cut the covenant, and God spoke extensively about Abraham and

  169. his life, what he was going to do after over

  170. four hundred years, how he was going to send them

  171. into slavery, and then after the slavery, when the moral treatment,

  172. they will come up with great substance, and then they

  173. will come onto the land that he was lying of

  174. where the covenant was cut. God said, no, of a surety,

  175. I'll give you this land. My word is power, my

  176. word is authority. Whatever I say, I have the power,

  177. I have the resources to do it. But this is it.

  178. It's not going to happen in you all the time.

  179. You're going to get an offs ring. And then he said,

  180. I'm going to make you. I'm multiplying like the starts

  181. of here. And now I had finished and said, oh,

  182. now he goes home. And then Sarah says that, Abrahm,

  183. you know something. Since God has kept me from can

  184. you take Hagar and give me a child? And then

  185. Abrahm said, I just heard from God. He say no,

  186. I mean give me a chance. You take Hagar and

  187. then Abraham will be That was eighty six thirteen years.

  188. He wasn't hearing anything from God to Bible. Schollars w

  189. turns them from fifteen sixteen. Chapter sixteen talks about Hagar

  190. and then the child Ishmael.

  191. Then we come to seventeen.

  192. It was then then God comes shows up against Hey, God,

  193. Abraham walked before me and be down.

  194. Perfect when I see when I speak to you. Don't

  195. want to listen to Sarah. Amen, Now now.

  196. Listen to something that God said the invest four, which

  197. is what I wanted to try our attention of the Father.

  198. Now listen, you can do the King Jay's version.

  199. I like that one. Let me read it, for he said,

  200. ask for me.

  201. Behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be

  202. a father of many nations. As for me, you d

  203. But as for me, mam, like saying that ask for me,

  204. your dad, I'll do what it's expected. All that I'm

  205. requiring of you is that do your side on it.

  206. That's it Halenlujiah.

  207. Amen.

  208. So let's know this, and God was able to, So

  209. let's go let's go back. So that's just a recap

  210. of the Father of the God will do his bit.

  211. God cannot lie, that's the problem, just like in a

  212. true Dad. And like keep seeing Abraham Abraham say, and

  213. then at the talen of this conversation in chapter seventeen

  214. when God said, oh again, you know that what Abrahm said, Oh,

  215. oh God, you have been tulicious enough. Let each man

  216. leave before thee.

  217. And God said, no, the covenant.

  218. When we started, there was no hagar. So I need

  219. to stand true to my way.

  220. Sarah Shah, have a child at the day you all now,

  221. He said.

  222. A year by now, a year by now, a year

  223. by now the covenant will speak.

  224. That's God, Amen. He has the power, he has the resources,

  225. he has the.

  226. Integrity to do whatever he says in our lives.

  227. So now let's go to look eleven. We're arounding up.

  228. I think we've taken our time to go over this

  229. because most of the others, if you like the imen

  230. need for understanding of this. The Father would of God

  231. his nature. He's unchangeableness, but he's a whole God. He

  232. is true to his way. He's a covenant keeping God.

  233. The rest will follow. So he said to them, when

  234. you pray our Father. So now when you understand this

  235. and you are benefiting, it is very easy to praise God.

  236. So now the next one he says, was hallow ed

  237. be your name, Halleluiah.

  238. Amen.

  239. Can we look at some fifty verst. Twenty three. Let's

  240. look at some fifty verst. Twenty three very important, and

  241. then we'll do some twenty two verst three. Some fifty

  242. best twenty three says whoever.

  243. All first praise glorifies.

  244. Me the a amen or honest me? And to him

  245. that undredth is conversational? Right, will I show the salvation

  246. of some twenty two vers three twenty two verst three

  247. It says that but thou art holy, o thou that

  248. inhabits the praise of Israel.

  249. Amen. We are talking about halloweeny. Now.

  250. If God is playing his critical role as a father

  251. and the covenant keeping God, to us. It should be

  252. easy to give him praise, isn't it? And God deserves

  253. and loves praise. Yeah, it's been a very rocky vocal.

  254. He that office praise glorifies me. He said, in all things,

  255. what gift and praise goes with thanksgiving in all because

  256. this is the will of God concerning your lives. And

  257. I ask myself, why all the well in the rebellion

  258. the after praising God?

  259. Amen?

  260. Mean why because a lot of us we have taken

  261. God for granted. Post a praise for God on your

  262. feet and see how many people who like it.

  263. You tomorrow, we can't do it. Won't post a praise

  264. on God.

  265. I just want to praise God for his goodness and

  266. his kindness and messes.

  267. And see how many posts you get. Then the next day,

  268. go back, take a picture of your new shoe.

  269. Praise my shoe. You will see the likes that they

  270. will come and like. And I don't want to use

  271. the word crazy. Push your new your new wedding outfit there.

  272. This is going to do.

  273. The dude, and look at the praise that you will.

  274. Gannner compare to when you put the praise that God

  275. who gave you the look, so when you and I

  276. who know and have understanding of well, they're not praise.

  277. No, you go to the social media.

  278. You see that people who have a lot of followership

  279. and millions.

  280. It's crazy. I said, what do they do?

  281. And sometimes they'll yes, take a picture of what you're

  282. having for dinner, and you weren't like the dinner plate.

  283. Your praise for God. I won't at least sit one

  284. like you know what I'm saying. So where is this

  285. guy coming from? Praising God?

  286. Even if you when you finish, will go there, your car,

  287. your degree, your shoe, your word, your hair cuts.

  288. God is taking for granted. We don't want him in

  289. our lives.

  290. So if we his children, the primary beneficiaries of His

  291. love and generosity in our lives, not just for this life,

  292. but the life here after. If we will not acknowledge

  293. him and offer him praise, who praise him?

  294. God? Starting off? Praise?

  295. Amen, and Jesus said, pray, keep him praise, keep him praise.

  296. He started it all. This is his pet project. He

  297. demands praise. He deserves praise, so one any of it.

  298. And he doesn't want the praise of the rest of

  299. the world. The best praise he can get from the

  300. rest of the world is to acknowledge him as their

  301. Lord and savior. But for you and I, who have

  302. been said redeemed, he wants us to show gratitude and

  303. to be thankful to Him. Thank you to someone else.

  304. Let's give God more praise.

  305. God wants us to be generous and profuse with his praise. Halenluiah.

  306. And we can look at Paul and.

  307. Silas at sixteen twenty five, and then King joshah Fat

  308. and second chronicle is chapter twenty Hallelujah. The best insurance

  309. way to cultivate the heart of praise is to sex

  310. the scriptures, read and get acquainted with his deeds. You

  311. will see and applaud his justice and fairness as he

  312. works in the lives of his people. And this will

  313. provoke you into prayer and praise. And you will definitely

  314. be rewarded for your expressions of faith through praise to God. Amen,

  315. Thank to somebody, and say he alone deserves our praise.

  316. Amen. And let's do three. And for me.

  317. As I said, once we get the innitia foundational truth,

  318. we are good to go.

  319. So give us day by day our day. So God

  320. wants us.

  321. To approach him on a day by day basis for

  322. our provisions. Remember down there, he said, ask, He said,

  323. the need to be giving to you. Seek you will find,

  324. knock it shall be open to you. And so yeah,

  325. Jesus gives us or brings us into an understanding of

  326. how God runs or governents his household.

  327. Day by day. Thank you to someone and say day

  328. by day.

  329. God didn't say give us this month. No, give Jesus

  330. a prayer, give us this day.

  331. So he said.

  332. God does these things to grow our faith, and it

  333. helps you to be in expectant mood.

  334. Say amen.

  335. Else, the faith life is not going to grow, it's

  336. not going to mature. So sometimes God will intentionally delay

  337. things and see whether will still.

  338. Be and stay on our knees.

  339. It's not just for you, for the people that I

  340. can for the next generation. This is his project, as

  341. I say, until he brings it to an end, we

  342. never know. But the next generation of believers, they must

  343. be encouraged. They need living faith to connect with the

  344. people who are living. We should be able to have

  345. testimonis else or be another generation laws. If we don't

  346. see God working in your life or anybody's life, why

  347. should the next generation come and follow us to God,

  348. because we are the ones who will be able to

  349. lead and guide them to God. So sometimes God, and

  350. remember there is a position. Always remember there is a position.

  351. So we need to develop our faith.

  352. So sometimes God delays some of the promises. But if

  353. he says, I look at Abraham's fool, he said I

  354. would do it.

  355. At the very last.

  356. Minute, he did it, and all that why he never

  357. gave him any timeline until the last in seventeen that

  358. is when he gave him a time and he said

  359. a year by now. From seventy five that we met him,

  360. he just said, I'll do it, I'll do it, I'll

  361. do it.

  362. It. Never gave him a.

  363. Timeline until ninety nine years and he said a year

  364. by now and a year by now. Bothy, Abraham and

  365. Sarah said, God, forget it. And they started laughing and giggly,

  366. now that we are old, and God said, mine knows

  367. your faith.

  368. I'll do it, amen.

  369. Because the Bible says that they are so they were

  370. so aged, and I have been the biological cloths. I

  371. just simply shut down. And God comes in now and

  372. says that can you believe?

  373. Amen? And then in the next couple of months.

  374. Then Sarah woke up one day, this one I'm borrowing

  375. the medical Then she said, hey, my man says, I

  376. started flowing again.

  377. Hey, what is happening?

  378. And then in a month two months time, he says,

  379. my man says, has seized. I feel like Then she

  380. started describing the symptence of pregnancy, and Abraham said, that's it. Okay,

  381. that's the why not the right way to say promise

  382. came amazing God, Halenluiah, day by day Hallelujah. So Jesus

  383. is giving us an understanding on how God dranks or

  384. governs his household day by day. Every day has his

  385. own peculiar challenges. And God wants us to understand this

  386. principle and just come on that basis. That's four and

  387. forgive us as sains. For we also forgive everyone who

  388. is in debtor to us. And do not lead us

  389. into temptation, but deliver us from living. There are four things,

  390. the things there is forgive us our sains. Now, the

  391. point is that God is a messy. For God, Amen,

  392. God is love at the heart of his nature, is the.

  393. Or a spirit or forgiveness.

  394. God wants to forgive, not just as all humankind Amen.

  395. And as we said, so long as we stay holy, then.

  396. The vowels of consecration works. You'll cleanse us. You'll purify us,

  397. he said, when you confess he is faithful and just,

  398. not only to forgive us, but to cleanse us from

  399. all on righteousness.

  400. Amen.

  401. Then the next thing is that for we also forgive

  402. everyone who is indebted. Unforgiveness is grievous to God's heart.

  403. Say amen.

  404. And you will never mature in your love life if

  405. you don't cultivate side by side your ability to forgive

  406. to overlook heats, to always wipe the slate of your

  407. heart of all deaths of heat, evening when they've not

  408. been asked for. You are loving, you are in a relationship,

  409. You are loving, You are you are married, You are loving.

  410. But you are not cultivating side by side to your

  411. love over chess, a heart and a spirit of forgiveness.

  412. You're not going to mature in love. Amen.

  413. And I'm saying it depends on is to cultivate this

  414. ability to forgive to overlook heads. Number three, to always

  415. wipe the slate of your heart all deaths of heat,

  416. even when they have not asked for it. So that

  417. long before they come, or they may never come. Wipe

  418. the slate of your heart of all earth. And I'm

  419. adding superficial and deep heats. Now that makes sense, very

  420. very important, because your key to an effective prayer life.

  421. Heads, they didn't say, they didn't say sorry, no expend sorry,

  422. Move on, superficial heads, move on, deep ess, move on,

  423. wipe it off. We're not saying they didn't do it

  424. or turn it over to God.

  425. You are waiting. That's for superficial bats. For deepest, they

  426. must come and apologize. You never believe me.

  427. They don't come. Don't when they.

  428. Don't come, And the parable of their unforgiving seven we

  429. know about that Matthew eighty.

  430. Thirty five is there.

  431. So this is the point God demands for forgiveness on

  432. our path, and all his children must participate in this

  433. generous act. Dear to God forgiving people. Remember not samone

  434. on the mount. Pleasures are the mercy, for for they

  435. shall obtain mercy. Showing mercy has a strong correlation in

  436. your group and maturity and being christ Like, and mercy

  437. simply means kindness, fruit of the Spiritally luyah. Then the

  438. final ones that they say best for seasons and do

  439. not let us into temptation, but the laver us from

  440. the evil one. Do not lead us into temptation, but

  441. deliver us sometimes the temptation me. Now we're working, we see,

  442. and then we're working. How are you going to be

  443. able to be avoiding temptation?

  444. The way?

  445. How shall a young man cleanse his way? David says,

  446. what by taking it according.

  447. To your way? That word have I hidden in my

  448. heart that I may not sin against you?

  449. And then the last one, he says that we should

  450. pray that word deliver us from the evil one. He

  451. just tells us about the kind of tactics of the devil.

  452. He is always after us. He will all always, if

  453. you like, tell us until he gets us stumbling and falling. Amen,

  454. deliver us from the evil one. That's every morning. Pray

  455. say time as a twenty four hours seven.

  456. It's on you.

  457. But for the angels of God, the invisible angels of God.

  458. God does it for his children.

  459. We saw Jacob in my name Genesis thirty two, when

  460. he came back on the land. The Bible says, immediately

  461. he came on the land, angels of the Lord met him.

  462. And then after his children had gone and run sacked

  463. the city of she Kep after Diana's had been ripped,

  464. and then he panicked because he said, you have done

  465. this thing that you have done his audios in the

  466. sight of God, and all the nations around they are

  467. now going to gather, and then they will come and

  468. then attack us. What prevented the nations around from attacking

  469. isra God. So the Bible says that when he said no,

  470. because already God, I told Jacob that come to the

  471. place where I encountered you in Genesis, that is Bethel,

  472. come and pay about he wasn't prepared to go, and

  473. then he ended up sheltering in Shakep. And then Diana

  474. went in and got ripped, and then Rubin and then

  475. Simon led the vengeance, and then they slaughtered the entire

  476. city through deceit.

  477. And then the.

  478. Nations were gathering, and God said he said in the

  479. dream go said, oh, yeah, get back to Bethel. So

  480. that night as they turned out too that then in

  481. the Bible said, somewhere somehow the.

  482. Fear of the Lord fell on the people. Eld of Tajaco.

  483. Leaders nothing to temptation, but deliver as from the evil.

  484. That the enemy is planning. You have no idea. It

  485. goes you open our eyes one night, rise up on

  486. your feet. Oh bless you for your timeless.
