-
Welcome to the logo streamer are with God savant Reverend
-
Doctor Joseph bar Being, head Pastor of Harvest Chapel International Commercy.
-
And now to today's message.
-
Amen, let's take our gold fashion from Joshua one verse eight.
-
The spoke of the Law shall now depart out of
-
my mouth, but I shall meditate in it today at night,
-
that I may observe to do according to all that
-
is written in it. But then I will make my
-
way prosperous, and then I will have good success. Amen,
-
God richly bless you. Why don't you take your seats?
-
So let's see how best we can round up a
-
month of other in prayer, hallelujah. And our text has
-
been from looked Chapter eleven, verse one. Now it came
-
to pass as he was praying in a certain place
-
when he seized that one of his disciples said to him, Lord,
-
teach us to pray as John also taught his disciples, Amen,
-
and some of the viter lessons. Let's see how we can.
-
There's going to be our last discuss on it. So
-
let's see how sometimes it is when the month is
-
ending that you realize that so much a lot more
-
to say on prayer. But I think the days ahead,
-
every day we get opportunity to talk about prayer. So
-
we just see how best we can wrap it up,
-
and then trust God that in the succeeding days and weeks,
-
when the subject matter of prayer comes up, either through
-
exhortations or whatever, or former teaching services, we can continue
-
to look at the subject of prayer because it's so
-
necessary that as we see and there don't name disciples
-
coming to Jesus and making a petition that he ought
-
to teach them the rudiments of prayer, just as John
-
the Baptist had taught his disciples, meaning that they recognize
-
a certain deficiency in our prayers. And the iron is
-
that you will never be satisfied with your prayer efforts
-
because there will always be some gaps, and those guys
-
can only be filed by God who answers prayer. Because
-
the desired goal or outcome for everyone who praises that
-
you have certain positive outcome or results according to what
-
you are thinking. Once again, we are reminding ourselves that
-
this world is not our world, and so our thoughts
-
are not his thoughts. If our thoughts are in sync
-
with his thoughts and with his timing, with his planning
-
and everything, then most of him we know that He
-
is going to answer those prays. And even when God
-
is so desirous of answering those prayers, there is always
-
op position that Neil chapter ten makes it very clear
-
that on the day that you set forth your heart
-
to seek the face of God in prayer and in
-
first and he says an answer was given, and then
-
an says, we're being communicated in the realms of the spirit.
-
But it faced the position, and the Angel of God
-
who brought the answers to Daniels seemed to say that
-
I have now, after twenty one days on your knees.
-
I have now seen many had a break to bring
-
you the answers. That's what the answers they won, they
-
were ready. But he says that the Prince of Persia,
-
Satanic Hos, hindered my delivery of the answers to our prayer.
-
So prayers even when God says yes, then Satan and
-
his good say no, and sometimes battles man beforet And
-
this brings us to the point where that without understanding,
-
like I said, the rudiments of prayer and all the
-
other things, sometimes we get frustrated, Harley Lawyer. So it's
-
not simply that you just go to God your petition
-
in and hey press to He just answers them no.
-
And that is why we keep on saying that your
-
prayer life is never going to be able to take
-
off if you're not a man and a student of
-
the Word of God. You need it. We need to
-
understand all these nuances that are behind the scenes, all
-
the things that are playing behind the scenes in our
-
prayer efforts and enterprises. Lots of things are ongoing, and
-
the Word of God is going to give us insights
-
into all these things before the final outcome. A lot
-
of us live off praying because or have been yes.
-
But a lot of people are no praying because they
-
said God will not answer them hardly, Louia, But you
-
and I we must live and thrive on prayer, say
-
big a man, we have to praise one of the
-
lessons that we keep on saying. I don't know if
-
I'm permitted to say that. Jesus was a praying machine.
-
Lou hear, he was a praying machine. He lived on prayer.
-
He thrived on prayer. He flourished by prayer, having those
-
intercourses with God. And so sometimes the Bible says, early
-
in the morning, before everybody would rise up, he will
-
look for a place of solitude, and there and there
-
he prayed. Sometimes after a tire day's work, the Bible says,
-
he will go out into the mountains, and there alone
-
he will pray to God and seek the face of God. Hallelujah.
-
And what that did to his life and ministry is
-
what we are seeing in the gospels. Hallelujah. In shorts.
-
It enabled God to stay near to him all the
-
days of his sojourny here on earth, and even in
-
death and on the cross, he was still talking with
-
God through all his pain and orgonizing moments before his
-
successful departure out of this where he was praying. I
-
wanted to take that again, Halene Louiah Amen, Amen. I
-
said he lived and thrived on prayer. And what prayer,
-
consistent prayer did to his life and ministry is that
-
it enabled God to stay near to him all the
-
days of his life. Oh he so journey here on earth,
-
and even in death on the cross, he was still
-
talking to God through his pain, through the agonizing and
-
find out moments, he was in touch with God in prayer, hallelujah.
-
Before he departed successfully when he said it is finished,
-
when he knew that he had had a very successful
-
so janney here on earth, Haley Louiah Amen. That was
-
Jesus Christ. How much less we the son of God
-
made prayer very very important on his daily schedule. Halleluia.
-
So prayer is simply no negotiable for every child of God.
-
He's our big brother, hallelujah. Even though he's our creator,
-
he has consented to be a big brother. And he
-
says that we should just imitate him, imitate him. So
-
we look at his life and he said, no, no,
-
why do is Jesus was a prayer machine, then I
-
need to be a terrible prayer, terrible machine. Hallelujah. Amen.
-
We have to pray, We have to pray, We have
-
to pray, Hallnelujah. Amen. Amen. So you're saying that prayer
-
is non negotiable for every child of God, and Jesus
-
lived it out, demonstrated it all through the Gospel narrative
-
to leave us with that legacy of the sex City
-
of prayer in our lives as believers and in our
-
work with God. Here on hallelujah. We see him praying
-
in the morning, praying in the afternoon, praying in the evening,
-
praying at night, praying, drule ministry hours, praying your midstyle,
-
and every suitable occasion he offered prayer sometimes some like
-
like like calling lives rose out of the through multiplying
-
the loaves of bread. He just found it necessary to
-
just demonstrate what you all to all that look miracles,
-
they don't just happy. Somebody must be willing to under
-
get it with prayer. And you and I know that
-
that's why we can't. We we can't stop praying then
-
to stop. We are not going to stop praying, and
-
we are not going to stop fasting because the two
-
go together. Can you add that for me? Hallelujah? Amen. Amen,
-
you know it's all. Prayer ultimately demonstrates dependence on God
-
because in prayer we are telling God, I can't make
-
it on my own. I need your guidance, I need
-
your direction and I need most of all your grace
-
supplies to do your will. Doing the will of God
-
is tough, can be tough. I believe that was why
-
Jesus was always so when he comes back, he said, guys,
-
you know something. I'm just here to do whatever I
-
see my father do it. He just gives me pictures
-
day by day of what if six and bobs that
-
are accomplished on his behalf. We are not here on
-
our own. We are here to do God's will. Amen.
-
That's why we say we go to God in prayer
-
every morning so we can get we can get our
-
marching orders for the day. He's a commander in chief
-
and we receive the directions from him. Hallelujah. And we
-
must in every way possible demonstrate our reliance and our
-
dependence on him, if not anything at all, because he
-
is God and he sees everywhere. Hallelia he knows everything, omnipotent, omnissi.
-
It's all powerful, all knowing, and ever pressent everywhere. Hallelujah.
-
So once again you see the connection your word life,
-
You understanding of this God who has called us into
-
a covenant relationship and work with him, and how it's
-
invariably tail us into our prayer enterprises more knowledge, more understanding,
-
more wisdom about God. The more effective you are in
-
your prayer, the more willing you even be able. Will
-
you will be willing to engage Him in prayer because
-
he has the tools, he has the power, he has
-
a resource, She has the angels to effect the things
-
that we want to see down on our behalf Halene
-
Lujah Amen. So in prayer, we are demonstrating dependence on God.
-
We are telling God, I can't make it on my ode.
-
I need your guidance, I need your direction, I need
-
the great supplies needed to do your will. And all
-
we are saying, just help me out. That's all prayer
-
I say, just help me out, Just help me out.
-
It doesn't mean you're stupid, it doesn't mean you don't
-
know what you are Haleelijah and the place where prayer
-
becomes everybody. God is when we are convinced that as
-
for this one, I know what I want. This is
-
what my heart is saying, this is what my mind
-
is saying. Those are the difficult times. Oh, let's pray
-
for God before adventures. Oh, I thought, this one is
-
for God's domain, So they will pray. Can we pray
-
for our beloved? No? No, no, that's for the man.
-
The kind of why if I want to marry I
-
know God doesn't know. And then we'll come and say, oh,
-
ask God said that. You said, you give me the
-
desires of our heart. And this is the desire of
-
my heart. And Betty has showed up its close. Harry,
-
do here Amen. So most of them, when it comes
-
to the things that concerns are heart, we are reluctant.
-
We say God this and no, Grea, I already know
-
what I want to do. This is the desire, this
-
is what my heart is saying, this is what my
-
mind is saying. But the other things that last will gay,
-
kingdom advancement. Now I'm God, you said, okay, we should pray,
-
pray Lord and sending more laborers harvest is right, But
-
the laborers are feel very easy to pray Hallly, look
-
here he may where to live, where to stay, who
-
to get married to those personal things that we say, No,
-
this is a noble area for God. This one I
-
must decide. And yes, no, it is these areas that
-
trip us and cause us to fall and to backslide
-
and to turn our way. Harlene Louis. Amen. Now the
-
next point that we are making, we are arounding up.
-
We've said most of this prayer is a learned at
-
and scale is the fact that for effective communication and
-
conversation with God, we need to be taught. That's why
-
he asked that teach us. So we are making that
-
point again. God should teach us. We need to be
-
taught and we should open ourselves up. And God has
-
given us his Holy Spirit to undertake that assignment on
-
his behalf. The Holy Spirit will teach us how to pray.
-
And what he's going to do is that it's going
-
to take us to the way and you apply the
-
truths of the Word of God on our heart and
-
on our mind. He'll bring wisdom, knowledge understanding of the
-
ways of God. And I don't know, I still feel
-
that you know, at the top of all our setting
-
of the scriptures, one of the key things that I
-
believe helps a lot in understanding or in our engagements
-
with God in prayer is to know about God himself.
-
Knowing God, knowing God. It's very, very, very important if
-
you be able to engage, because, like we always say,
-
at the tail end of all our prayer enterprises is
-
the Almighty God. It is up to him to say yes,
-
no weight, hallelujah amen. So if you don't know him,
-
and that is why the Holy Spirit is given to
-
help us to get to know God. Theoretically and experientially.
-
There are some prayers as you grow in Christ. At
-
the point in that you pray again, you stop asking
-
about topics you know, and you begin to know that
-
now at your growth and your stage in Christ, you
-
must be asking for guns. Say a big amen, amen,
-
because the topics when you ask for guns, when you
-
will bring it, hallelujah Amen. Remember he says that the
-
blessings of the Lord it makes rich. He has to
-
do so, so give you good topics. But the battle's first,
-
the victory first, and then the booty will be shared.
-
It's never the case when when we are at war,
-
we are dividing the spots of war. How come, No,
-
he must conquer. First look through the Old Testament, look
-
through Joshua's conquest of Cana, and you see in all cases,
-
even the first one that was the one that Jericho
-
one he said, the spoils are mine, they have to
-
be dedicated to me. And then the next one Ai
-
he said, you can't have it. Amen. So there's never
-
the case where we get to, if you like, share
-
the booty. When we have not prevailed in prayer, and
-
the fact that we won't be blessed won't be reward
-
in our prayer enterprises, either individually or collectively, it should
-
energize us to do that. And all that we need
-
to do is to say, God, we are depending on
-
you and to stay on our knees. Harlene Loujah. Amen.
-
So God is the one who is going to teach,
-
and I'm saying that at the top of our list
-
should be how best can I know God for myself?
-
Knowledge theoretically, experientially one of the key things as you approach,
-
as we try to get to know God. Remember, God
-
is not a man. Amen. God is not a man.
-
God is not He is not like us, He's not
-
in our leak. Harlene Louis. God is God, our creator
-
and our maker, because he said sometimes most of him
-
that Look, if you don't learn how to reverence God,
-
we are still we are still talking that we are
-
coming to our Father. I think that's that's where were ended.
-
If you don't reference you understand that God, it's a
-
holy God. Maybe that's where I'm going. It's not just
-
a deity like the other deities, and the idols and
-
of this were created by human hands by his God.
-
He's not a man. He's not our coal equal, so
-
that we will reference him in our heart, in our attitude.
-
You say, when all these enterprises, praere enterprises and the
-
rewards they are linked to serving God on the front lines,
-
and I see a believer that you you don't want
-
to save God, but you wonder the words. It will happen.
-
You will be frustrated, You'll be beating up. You will
-
be beating up, You'll be challenged by satter. God said
-
if you anna you and he says, I'm a holy God.
-
So you watch your life. You watch your life. Yeah,
-
people are praying in Churu, but you look at their
-
life and you know the immediately say it didn't notify
-
they are not praying and will call forward for the
-
first that prayer no camel. But afterwards then like I said, no,
-
where did you learn that from? It's a waste of effort.
-
So you'll be frustrated. God is a holy God and
-
you want to stay and you are saying, we are
-
depending on you. We are coming to have conversation with
-
a holy God, and all our garnments are hallelujah. Next
-
month we are let me talking about next month. Order
-
in our conversations has that that's going to be very interesting. Hallelujah. Amen,
-
Oh God, God have mercy on us. Hallelijah. We pray,
-
and then after the prayer will not but the things
-
that God has in like you want us to be doing,
-
we just do it. We end up and big gossip
-
and all kinds of things, and then we nanify all
-
our prayer efforts forgetting that God is like holy God
-
and the Holy Spirit who energizes us. That's for me.
-
For me, Amen, it's not that you don't see things.
-
So it's not that people don't hurt you who come
-
to that. It's not that you don't see all the
-
things that are going on. Part when you look at
-
the presence of God. You have to go to God,
-
and you don't want your prayer turn us and lines
-
to be clock. You will follow God. You imitate God
-
in holiness because you know now when you are coming
-
with to God with staying garments. The angels protocol demands
-
that you behindered protocol demands that the angel says, care off.
-
He said, Holy God, you can't. You can't approach. If
-
you dare you, you die. He'll kill you. The brightness
-
of his countenance will try to kill you. So better
-
go cleanse your art camp and hold those conversations. He's
-
not a man. It's not a usual confidant and gossip confidant.
-
So you check yourself. You check your relationships because he
-
has said that our relationship is not just we and
-
him Halenluiah. So you need grace, you need you need resources, Haleneluiah.
-
God is a Deity's not like us. We are falling
-
off on holy beans and I'm saying yeah, mouth and
-
I not. This aspect of his being is the ignored.
-
And when we ignore it, we fumble and stumble in
-
our approach to him. We famble and stop you. He said,
-
shut up, shut up, clean up, your art. Forgive go
-
and say sorry, Harry Louyer. You look this prayer thing,
-
and the police man will wrestle with you, will wrestle
-
with you until you yield to his persuasion. And then
-
the peace of God that pans up all understanding, he
-
says it to mount up to form a world and
-
a garassing around your minds. So long as you say me,
-
as for this Christian life, I will leave it according
-
to my terms. Forget about prayer. There's no order in
-
your prayer life. You'll be there that. That's why we say,
-
is there there two blessings? For it's meant for all
-
the children of God. So long as God has said,
-
oh this this my son, this my daughter she has
-
she's genuine andsince here in a bonnet, gain confession, and
-
so gay grant him entrance into the Kingdom of God.
-
Then Holy Spirit, who seal you. But when we grieve him,
-
when we live a life that grieves him, and then
-
he falls up. So the grace supplies that we need.
-
We don't. We can't hear what he wants us to do.
-
And that's why we come to tear three blessings where
-
our blessings are tied to the specific assignment for which
-
He created us and redeemed us in due time. That
-
is where the reors is. It's attached to executing the
-
will of God for your life. David is well known
-
by everyone because that was it. He executed God's will
-
for his life, cooperated with God, and became the greatest
-
king that God. He was a man of God's own heart.
-
So when you don't and you are just loitering around
-
in the kingdom, like we say, Kingdom, Lloydsy, You're just
-
There're just there? Why should they bless you? Why should
-
he even annoint you to do what? Because the anointing
-
goes with the identification and execution of that assignment that
-
He has on your life, the reason why He created you,
-
and the holy space is just red and waiting, Harlene Louiah.
-
And remember he say, the weapons of our warfarevy are
-
not carnal weapons, My Mighty through God, to the pulling
-
down of strongholds in our life. You think canality can
-
pull down strongholds? Insult or insult and the things that
-
sometimes mushrooms and then flourishes in church, gossiping, backbiting, envy, jealousy.
-
This one said this, this one said that, this one,
-
I will talk to you again. You think that is
-
going to get you? There no no doubt that when
-
the magician appears in church, we all run to him. Hallnlujah.
-
You know what I'm talking about, because no, why you
-
don't need any conditionalities for holiness. And then we get
-
duped and then we think that we say, it is God,
-
God who sent the magician. Pastor he told me everything
-
in my life, or he even mentioned my phone number.
-
I said, what do you mean by that? You think
-
the devil is She said, the devil doesn't know your
-
phone number, your house number. God this more interested in football,
-
us saying, look, guys, a war to be fought should
-
stop the entertainment in the house of God, Halen loujah
-
your telephone number. And then the churches there's heleing and
-
claiming that read look, read a word, and let us
-
let's open ourselves and let the Holy Spirit teach us.
-
And you know, look, look, hey, God, God is serious
-
about this war. That's why he sent Jesus Christ to
-
come and die. It's not a time for entertainment. We
-
put our food aside for three days, three nights. We
-
are not eating, and you come in to entertain. Halenelujah, Amen, Halenelujah.
