Welcome to the logo streamer are with God savant Reverend

Doctor Joseph Being, head Pastor of Harvest Chapel International Commercy.
-
And now to today's message.
-
Harlem heah. Amen, Let's take a confession from Joshua one.
-
That's eight. Let's look over a shallow depart out of
-
my mind, and I shall meditate in it to day
-

-
We will continue with our discourses on how best we
-
can bring order to her prayer life. Charlie Louis. Amen,
-
and we said her uncle. Scripture is taken from Luke,
-
chapter eleven, Verse one, Look eleven. And he said, now
-
it came to pass as he was praying in a
-
certain place when he ceased, and one of his disciples
-
said to him, Lord teachers, to pray as John also
-
taught his disciples. Amen. Now let's move on to look
-
at the verses. Let's break them down by best. Let's
-
pick up some of the lessons to back some of
-
the observations that we've just made. So this one he says,
-
now it came to pass as he was praying in
-
a certain place when he ceased, that one of his
-
disciples said to him, Lord teachers, to pray as John
-
also to his disciples. So teaching lesson. So let me
-
make the key points that we will talk about in
-
these invest one. Key point number one, Jesus made time
-
to pray, and you and I we must make time
-
to pray. Say a big a man, halleluiash point number
-
two for personal prayer. He often as against congregational prayer.
-
When we call for the prayer meeting, you have no
-
choice but to be here, and we're all going to
-
do it. If we decide that we will do it.
-
In the guardians, you have no choice. You have to
-
do it, and therefore it is open. Amen. But for
-
personal prayer, Jesus often sought an advocated for privacy or
-
solitude so we could be alone with God. Can I
-
take that a day? And the second point we can
-
learn from vers one for personal prayer, Jesus often sought
-
and therefore by so doing, he's teaching us how to
-
pray advocated for privacy or solitude so we could be
-
alone with God. And we could. He wants us to
-
be alone with God so that we can do our
-
way with distractions. Amen. These things abound in life and
-
can dumping the focus and effectiveness of our prayer enterprise.
-
We are bringing order. And with this point, the first
-
point that we are learning from Verse one, as seen
-
in the life of Jesus, is that he often sought
-
advocated for privacy or solitude so he could be alone
-
with God. Distractions. If you ignore it every time you
-
want to pray, you don't have any place of seclusion
-
or whatever privacy know find one. The Bible says that
-
Jesus went out and he's sought. That's what the Bible
-
said that day he was in the day they made
-
this comment, he was sleeping, or if you like, he
-
spent the time with Peter and his mother in law
-
and his wife. So he was in Peter's household with
-
the disciples. Bible commentators will tell us that that place
-
and then John and his brother James, or the appearance.
-
He used to spend a lot of time with them,
-
Helene Lujah. But the Bible says while they were sleeping,
-
he left the place and sought, looked for a solitary
-
place so that he could be alone with God. And
-
there he prayed, Amen, bringing order. You must have the
-
place where you can be alone with God, Helene Lujiah,
-
because distractions abound in life, and they can dumping the
-
focus and effectiveness of her prayer. Enterprise. And let's look
-
at Matthew's six vess vicis. He teaches it, he practices,
-
he teaches it. Remember what look vulnerable to your fellows, Hallelujah.
-
In asks chapter one, he said, what in the former traitors,
-
I've told you what Jesus was began to do and
-
to teach, began to do and to teach. So that
-
was his prayer life or enterprise. Listen to him teaching
-
it on the salmon on the Man. He said, And
-
when you pray, you shall not be like the hipocrist.
-
For they love to pray standing in the sinner box
-
and on the corners of the streets, that they may
-
be seen by men. Assure readily, I say to you,
-
they have their world. Now listen to the instruction in
-
verse six. But you, when you pray, go into your room,
-
and when you have shut your door, prayer to your father,
-
who is in the secret place. And your father, who
-
sees in secret, will reward you openly. Amen, Halene Loujah.
-
So look for for effectiveness in prayer, bringing honor into
-
a prayer, congregational prayer. You have nothing to do about it.
-
When we come here and we say pray, none say, oh, persage,
-
you know something their day Dad he was teaching, and
-
he says, I need privacy. So and then you live
-
as I'm going to look for a place. We come
-
looking for you. You're going to one of the past's office.
-
You have shut it. No, Halen Loujah, you have nothing
-
to do but to stay here. But the one that
-
sometimes when that's why sometimes when we are praying there
-
in the in the gardens and I say, come, let's
-
come together, and I know some of you you want it.
-
When we are praying, you want alone, you know. And
-
then you tell us that you are able to pray
-
better when you go on the grass and you go
-
and then meander away and then know that's congressional prayer.
-
When you alone, you set your time. Not why you
-
can't do that. But when there's a congregational meeting and
-
we are holding hands, we are in a in a
-
circle pray, don't say that me. I don't like that
-
the circle. I don't like holding hands with other people.
-
So let me go. And then you know there's a
-
big place. Let me go behind where the Logos temple
-
is praying. I'm sure that when I go there, I'll
-
get alone place. No, yeah, let's get these troops very
-
very very well. Congregational prayer. That one is different. But
-
you alone, if we come here and then maybe we
-
are doing something, or you come, you come early, and
-
then you say, I want a private place to pray.
-
The Logos them some of the rooms that they are finished.
-
You can go there with your bible, go and take
-
a seat, take a chair, go there, sit down, and
-
then cut off the distractions and then pray and engage God.
-
You don't have any place. Days now we have service.
-
Come early Sunday, Morney. You can come early before the
-
prayer at time the days that maybe it's a joint said,
-
come early six o'clock. You are here. You can just
-
go out there, take a seat with the Bible one
-
hour and God will always hanner you with expression. The
-
Holy Spirit will energize you soon at that time that
-
you are made for Him. It won't be an exercise
-
that is wasted. That's how it comes. That's how it happens.
-
When you come, God will help. You can't do it alone.
-
Halenluyer Amen. So this Jesus teaching about it. He advocated
-
for privacy solitudes so that we can cut off these
-
tractions and be able to engage God in a much
-
more effective way. Hallelujer. You are selling best one. Prayer
-
is a land discipline or enterprise in our work with God.
-
It has to be taught and has to be lent
-
all the days of our lives. It is a land
-
discipline again or enterp right in our work with God.
-
It has to be taught. Jesus taught it. We see
-
it on the semon and the mouth. We see the
-
disciples coming in here and asking Jesus teach us how
-
to pray. So it has to talk. If somebody is
-
teaching their means, somebody must be learning it and for
-
you and I will learn it all the days of
-
our lives. Amen. So there's never The point is that
-
there's never going to be a time and season where
-
you say that may have graduated from the school of prayer.
-
Now I know how to pray. No, you don't. You
-
don't in as much as you don't know the challenges
-
that lie ahead of your life. You know, look at
-
Jesus Christ, even on the cross, we learned it, isn't
-
it say seven statements of Jesus on the Cross of Christ.
-
Most of it was all prayer. And his last prayer
-
was toward God that it is finished, Thank you God.
-
And then we say a lawyer and lawy the man
-
Sabbath and me. He was talking to God. Even in
-
his death. He was praying a lifetime of prayer. We
-
saw him in se many before going to the cross.
-
So all our lives will be prayed, don't forget to
-
pray when on your sake bed, when you and I
-
we are about to exit, like Jesus is showing us. Hallelujah. Amen.
-
We see the pounds of death coming, and the Bible says,
-
the gloom and all that, and he cries out, why
-
God have you forsaken me? The darkness and then the triumph?
-
It is finished, hallelujah. And the Bible says, he breathed
-
his last and gave up. So prayer is a land,
-
discipline or enterprise that you and I are children of
-
God will have to learn it for life. Hallelujah. Amen.
-
And for you and I, the Holy Spirit of God
-
is giving to the believer to be the teacher. We
-
must be willing and humble enough to learn from him. Hallelujah.
-
Amy my God, alahah, we gave you, Thanks Lord in
-
the name of Jesus. So those are the lessons that
-
I believe the best one will help us. Let's just
-
look at it a little bit, say, look, took his
-
time to research the life and ministry of Jesus, and
-
so we're find in this narrative he tells us the
-
circumstances that's the best one, that's the long best one
-
and that we Jesus gave this very simple prayer outline
-
to guide us in our prayer discoursest with God, hallelujah.
-
And in this outline, Jesus presents to the interceding believer
-
principles and guidelines concerning prayer that could make it more effective, enjoyable,
-
and satisfying. To the Prince Saint the one we ready
-
look one to thirteen, We're ready to That's what I'm
-
talking about. Jesus gives us the principles and guidelines concerning
-
prayer that could make prayer and much more effective, enjoyable,
-
and satisfying life for you and I, Harlene loujash Amen.
-
And then point number two, Jesus qualifies himself to be
-
a teacher in prayer as in most things that has
-
to do is our work with God, because he lived
-
the truths out, he validated them all and now he
-
can encourage us in our prayer lives because he simply
-
lived the prayer for life Yeah on earth. The point
-
is this that Jesus came in as man. Remember, he
-
came to live the Christian outline and life out for
-
you and I, so we will learn the where God
-
wants us to live as believer. As all our complain
-
over the years, He's us complain is that we don't
-
have any living example to guide us how to be
-
able to live pleasing lives to God. So I'm myself
-
in man well God without himself, to live the life
-
that where God expects us to live his life. And
-
we are seeing and we are learning. God has called
-
you and I to also partner and work with him.
-
So how best are we going to be able to
-
do that successfully? We look at the life of Jesus Christ.
-
We are bringing order to our prayer life. So if
-
we find out that Jesus the son of God, remember
-
in the Book of Philippians, Paul tells us that he
-
divested himself of every godly attribute and made himself a
-
servant of God, and came to live with us, and
-
even consented to die like a criminal for us. And
-
that is why God has now exerted him and giving
-
him a name, my bad every other name that the
-
mention of the name of Jesus. Every niche abar and
-
confess that Jesus is Lord. Hallelujah Amen. So he lived
-
just like you and I. He put away the marble
-
says he disrobed himself or the attributes that made him God.
-
So Jesus didn't use short cuts if he had to pray,
-
prayed even though he was God. He didn't count on
-
those attributes. He connected with God and did only what
-
God wanted him to do. That's how Peter would say,
-
how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy spaid
-
and with power. The Holy spraid was his guide, his shoot.
-
Hallelujah Amen. He's a nebulae in the place of prayer. Yeah,
-
in getsemon and we saw it. The Bible says he
-
was orgonizing, even though the dogs didn't. They don't mention it.
-
I'm sure he said that he was prayed in tongks,
-
energized by the Holy girls, signs, drownings. Matthew Ate tells. Sorry,
-
Apostle Paul tells hers, in the place of prayer, sometimes
-
we don't know how to pray by the Holy Spirit
-
giving through signs and groanings. So as them looking records,
-
he said he gets the many he was orgonizing. The
-
Bible says, I think there's a commentary that he cried
-
to he who would God? If it is possible to
-
take this away and agonizing fact that the sweat was
-
like blood and angels were strengthening him. And after he
-
had heard from God and said, I can't revise the script.
-
It's too late. You have to die for all your
-
brothers and sister. Now we have year mat and call
-
since the foundations of the world, Son, you can do it.
-
Do it.
-
He was strengthy when he came up, when he rose
-
up from day, he said, now I can go to
-
the cross, and he was now even inviting it. Halenelujah amen.
-
So that is God, the Son of God in human flesh,
-
and you and I his brothers and sisters. He says,
-
imitate me, Paul Wall say us, I imitate Christ. He
-
came to set this fund that for us, the way
-
God wants us to walk and partner with Him so
-
that we can do and work the works of God
-
once it is day, because now I come out when
-
no man can work. You realize that the more and
-
more you postpone to do what God you see the
-
God to bypass you, God to raise another generation, God
-
to raise another one who say, yes, Lord, use me
-
the thing that God whispered that you didn't do it.
-
And now we have been able to locate somebody and
-
then that person will be doing it and doing it
-
with style, halen. It doesn't know anything about you. My
-
God has prepared him or hair, and the person is
-
doing the thing. And then you see that the the
-
other thing that the sad thing is that when you
-
were doing it, you are accumulating some blessings and blessings
-
that when you finish it to be given to you.
-
Now you go to seventy five percent, then you quit,
-
so this person will come and come and do the
-
twenty five percent. That's why you get empyr ah. This
-
person you see Jimmy Shira, yeah, Shimpa, hallelujah. You did
-
that thing. Now you are about to reap and you
-
said me my breath. Then the remark son a man go,
-
oh God, I'm tired. This meet will know and then
-
God said, angels, can we locate another person? And then
-
the person rises up hallelujah, and then doing that, he
-
doesn't know anything about you, and the struggles struggles with you,
-
but he comes and then he's doing you with start with,
-
you know, and the angels are applauding the us applauding
-
you see you see you say you don't do it?
-
Have you seen? And then the blessings before you realize,
-
and then because you didn't do it, now you be
-
filled with envy and jealousy and all that thing. And
-
God will mind you. Halled Loujah, Amen, Amen, Hallelujah Amen.
-
So Jesus qualifies himself to be a teacher prayer as
-
in most of the things that has to do is
-
our work with God, because he lived the truth out
-
and there's the key point here. He validated them all
-
and now he can encourage us in our prayer lives
-
because he simply lived the prayer full life whilst he
-
was on earth. He has gone through get this, He
-
has gone through all the challenges and the hindrances, the
-
frustrations associated with prayer. Say a big ay, may you
-
think he says Sometimes when you read some of the
-
miraculous you know narratives, you think that jes says his
-
prayer was Yet every time he said, oh Lars Russ
-
come out of the tone, and then then you know,
-
and then so I wish no, no, no, no no,
-
it was not like at least we have one example
-
is in it he gets seveny hall do here a
-
may he prayed. Yeah, God said no, so he knows
-
about the frustration of being denied and answering. That's why
-
he looked eighteen. Remember he also had another prayer to
-
you in service and says, well, and then get to
-
us and come men and women ought to pray and
-
never gave up. And then he gave that illustration of
-
the woman and the lawyer that went to the unjust
-
charge and started badgering. Hair started badgering him. That gave me,
-
vindicate me, vindicate me, vindicate me, vindicate me. And he says,
-
one day the man was so tired from the woman's
-
coming and then badgering, he said, even though I don't
-
fear God, I just rise up so that this woman
-
will stop me harassing me. And he said, listen to
-
the unjud charge. Listen to him. How much more God
-
harly lawyer. But then, remember the preamble was that man
-
and women must learn how to pray and not give up.
-
So the illustration is to tell us the one nothing happened.
-
That's what we've been doing over the years. Oh my God,
-
God is the prayer answering God, hallelujah. The things that
-
we are in praying with prayer before we realize them. Boom.
-
God has done it, and that's why we are always praying.
-
We keep on praying. Hallelujah. Amen, we do I P
-
I P one and the answers don't come. And then
-
we go to two, then three, and just from nowhere, God,
-
we say, these people, they are worrying me. That's why
-
we want. We want to worry God, worry and worry him,
-
and says, come and take your blessing and google every
-
time I P I P I P I P I
-
P I P hallelujah, say mega man, hallelujah. So answered prayer.
-
He has the example. He has a lot to share
-
with us. Partnering with the Holy spray. We see the
-
same thing and it gives so many hallelujah. Let's look
-
at that vest. Look is in look twenty two verst.
-
Forty four. Quickly, so look at look twenty two, Verse
-
forty four says, and being in egony, he prayed more endestly.
-
Then his sweat became like great drops of black falling
-
to the ground. Handelujah, he meant. So we see that
-
he went through just he learned as a man the
-
discipline of prayer. And now this is the key thing
-
and total dependence on God. That's what prayer is all about.
-
Even as man with all the skills, the competencies and
-
things that God has given us, we choose to pray
-
to tell God that we are depending on You without prayer,
-
Like I would say, look at around most of the
-
achievers on our landscape, Man of the Year, woman of
-
the year. This is that that who are they do?
-
They pray, They don't want to touch and that's why
-
sometimes they didn't books and tell us that in our
-
face that we are wasting our time because they don't
-
understand it. They don't understand we are not here to
-
win Man of the Year awards. I thought our year
-
big Amen, so that you not be enchanted by that.
-
Halene Luia Amen. We were made and created for a
-
specific purpose, designed to enhance the frontiers of the Kingdom
-
of God, not the kingdom of men to seek for accoholics.
-
If they don't elect you, so what, let them take
-
the honest, but the one that earner from God. Make
-
sure that we don't miss it. Halle Lujiah. That is purpose.
-
When you understand purpose, you don't go chasing for these things,
-
even if you think you deserve it and don't give
-
you to you I mean the will of God. I
-
mean the will of God. Maybe you if they made
-
you the woman of the year for gander the place
-
that we will find you in next So you have
-
wake up. Yeah. Every time when they rich or death,
-
then they jump non protest. Hallelujah Amen. God has something
-
better for you, say amen, and a better reward that
-
is waiting for you. Harled Louyer Amen. In prayer, total
-
dependence on God. That's all we are saying. God, we
-
can achieve a lot on our own because you have
-
given a skill. You created us in your image handed
-
Luyer Amen. We can create things, we can think, we
-
are imaginative. We can't be innovative and can do a
-
lot of things. But no, we understand that we are
-
servants of God and God wants absolute dependence on him
-
all the days of our lives. That's why we pray.
-
In prayer, we take it all to God, hal they
-
Louyer Amen. And Jesus Christ, we are look when look
-
in the scriptures, we realize that he got tangible results
-
to his prayers and petitions. And the other thing that
-
you take notice that he prays most of his prayers
-
were based on knowledge, wisdom, and understanding of the principles
-
and protocols of the Word of God. Very very important,
-
and that is what qualifies him to be a teacher
-
in the discipline of prayer. It's very very important. Remember,
-
like I said, ask one one, he said, what Amen,
-
honorable with you. I've told you what Jesays began to
-
do or teach and do cheach and do. He qualifies
-
to teach because he did it, halleluia, and he got
-
their answers. But they were all in the principles of
-
the Word of God. Very very important point. You want
-
to be an effective prayer, or you are praying and
-
you are not steadying your way, you will go off track.
-
Loujah Amen, Hallelujah Amen. We let's go ras Setlahia. Lord,
-
you are dependable, my Sandakabaya. That is why we choose
-
to depend on you, my sunda Hia Lord. We call
-
on you Ima row soka lahaia, not our wheels, but
-
your will be done in our individual life, in our
-
corporate life, my second abaya, in our family life, second
-
in Hallahi rain in inimy high candle, second habaia Yemi

-
and pray for the rest of the time.
