12+1 Core Values: Prayer-Powered | Eld Wong Kien Yiak

You're listening to a message to go from acts church.

We hope this message will light up your day.

But today we're gonna talk about prayer. Howard right, we

always assume that people know how to pray. Think about it.

We always assume that people know how the worship just

because the lyrics is up there. We know, we know

what it means. We know what it means the worship.

We know what it means to be a believer.

We know what it.

Means with the word tighter and maybe the label excuse me,

or use the word labor the tighter Christian. Right, this

this assumption and just because it's coffee beans, I'm sorry

applying this to my coffee message. Just because it's coffee beans, right,

people assume they know how to make it, or presume.

So I asked a question, what you do?

Why? Why you have this trick?

Grind is, Oh, this is how people sell it here

and check my Oh by I met some amazing people, right,

I don't know. Everyone seems to have a coffee farm

up there. I met Seriously, everyone seems I have a

coffee fup.

I met a brother or my mom has a coffee farm.

I said, oh, fantastic. No, it's not here, it's the chang.

Okay cool. My sister also have coffee farm. How many

sisters do you have?

Two?

Do you mean you got three individuals in your family

have coffee firm?

Oh yeah, oh there we three of us.

Three of us have three separate coffee farm.

Wow.

Then my two sisters run the own cafes. Oh one cafe,

no age. Sister got about four cafes under her name.

I went like so, and then I met another brother.

I also got a coffee farm up there. All these

people are very good, I say, examine. We also have

plantations outside the church.

All right, we have come, go right.

We have different days we have I think dragon fruit

right now with ex money, cow reason our famire. But

I share this to you because sometimes sometimes in our life, friends,

we know, we think that we know what prayers are about,

all right, when we put up things like prayer power.

Oh I know what it is, okay, I know what

is a prayer.

It's like our mind gets turned off after that, but

we won't receive the full message.

Next, like says in XT.

Chapter two, words for the two, they continue stepfastly in

the Postle's doctrine fellowship, breaking up brea and in prayer.

Come on, they continue, step fastly. You can only make

things to become part of your lifestyle when you believe.

It's just see this. You can only make things part

of your life when you believe. For example, it takes

an encouragement from someone you love, someone you trust, to

tell you that waking up early in the morning is

good about the instruction or the messaging could be good. Auntie,

you believe it, You're going to try once, twice, maybe

three times. Then you fall back to your previous lifestyle

of I don't believe in waking up. I was talking

to someone the other day that you know, we uh

had we had the morning meetings. Yeah, I say, I

woke at fought the tea. I slept about what I

woke up for. Oh did you use to alarm body?

Just wakes up?

Decided to just say, hey, wake up, the wake up

for the tea. The morning I don't have I don't

have a charge out of baby by'm doing morning. She's

really uh my morning. She vis this wake up in

the morning. I have to make about one litter of

coffee for myself and for my wife. So that's that's

my that's my routine in the morning, right every morning, grying,

grying about hunger, hunger, grammar beans and make coffee. Then

I what time do you wake up? How do you

look at fought the tea. I woke at six. It'snother

snoozing from six a m. Until six forty five, from

six and six forty five, Suthers snoozing. You will only

make tastes to be part of your lifestyle when you

believe the early the early disciples, the early Disciples come on.

Believe in Jesus, believe in the message, believe in the Word,

believe in the structure. That's why they country is stepped

fastly many times in our Christian word. No matter how

much we can say that worship is good, I think

you understand what worship really does to the spiritual atmosphere.

We will now truly worship.

They say reading the Bible is good, and in fact

it is good. But many times, friends, we open the

Word to the how say to the part and the

portion we like to read? Part said, we don't like

to read. We skip it, chapters we don't like to read.

That we hurry too, We read but don't really read.

And they see this, we read, but do not really

read what happens tress, we will not get the fullness

of the message. You may like church, but when it

comes to the message, you don't really like. So you're

you're hearing but not really hearing. Right, and that's what happens.

You know what? What out of me? What is the

end result?

Nobody means we ourselves. We can invest our two hours

in church for example, right can go away from church,

no transformation, no change.

No the word is that knowing more? Who crisis?

So the apostles really friends, the disciples really held on

to the doctrine. The next like, we don't just believe

in the power of prayer? Come on, and what do

you mean you don't just believe in the power. A

lot of people believe in the power of prayer. I

can guarantee you you're believe in prayer and friends, we

all do believe in prayer.

Prayer is what powers us. But there's the difference.

One is from a doc trying to position what does

it mean by dad? Friends, there's a concept we just believe,

but there's an other part to make it haby true.

Come on, there's a part that just believe then the

other part is to make it a living reality. God

wants us to have both to understand the power of prayer,

to know prayer works, and the other part to actually pray. Really,

the other part is to actually pray many times. Friends,

we advise people when someone shared with us the problem,

pray to God.

Why not?

Majority of course you say you prayer, you had the life,

you prayer right, you pray, all right, But but have

you ever caught yourself? Sometimes even we ourselves don't even

have a lifestyle of that.

Now, I'm not asking us to be intercess.

Okay, lock yourself in the room for a one hour

wake up early in the morning. No, I'm not asking

you the habit first. Okay, ten minutes the habit. Habit first.

We're not the habit. Friends, We will never start. We

won't even believe. We won't want one more.

But God wants to speak to us today to remind us. Church.

You understand prayer works, you understand worship works, You understand the.

Bible is real.

But to believe, to make it a lifestyle is what

God is after Amen, a right. So prayer is not

an event. That's why prayer service is not just an event. Friends,

it's not an event. And if you just put it

as an event, for example, what happened is that we'll

come for a prayer service and you will leave after

that believing we have done our duties, really believing we

have done our duties. Just like diet is not a

one time event. My wife always likes to remind me. Yeah,

it's not about the one occasion you eat fried chicken.

It's not the one occasion that you eat fried chicken.

You must have a lifestyle of less oil, less oils,

let's salt less, sugar less everything.

Then let's food. I really wanted to do it experience

my wife.

You know, she was just telling me, you can live

healthy and stuff like, okay for next two months. Okay,

let's team everything. Let's team the chicken breast. Let's team

or the reggie. Okay, without putting any salt, any pepper.

Let's see who can last. I really wanted to test

my wife, okay, because at the end of the day,

all nice.

So you need to lecture.

You know what I mean, you lecture people. Wait, easy, way,

easy lecture. Let's do it together there. But see, friends,

it's not just an event. It's not just the one

time event. Right now, when I have to tell my wife,

you know about something, you have to correct her in

certain things. I didn't do it today with it's not today.

Your behavior is very consistent. We'll be married for twenty

two years, really, and I know this is your pattern

of life. So I've been tracking you since the day

we got married. Oh, I've been keep picking scores since

the day we got married. Right, she's thinking event based.

I say, no, it's a lifestyle, right yo, this man, I.

Don't have enough. I say, it's not your purchase last month. Okay,

it's not.

Okay, all your all your consistent, consistent purchasers throughout the years.

Let me go to your wardrobe, make a hungry ring

git huh. Every time you go to Unico you go

into the buggins. Actually, oh, this is used to be

having twenty begin No, it's only thirty ring kid, She yes,

thirty ring gate times twelve. It's child sixty. See never

married never never never marry of finance guy. All right,

your counting in your counting? Oh everything, so first praise

even come on of the melody or centers. We say,

we put the text on our decision. What it means

by that. Every time there's a major decision, and most

time I pray about it. Have you ever used before

that I pray about it. I pray about it. So

many people come out there. I pray about it. Right

the moment we use, I pray about it.

What happens?

No more conversation. Really, it's like one of those who

no reverse carts. Draw four right, your play just in

case I have to ask this. So maybe different generation,

maybe the older one is or the sorry sorry okay,

can talk about those cal cuts all right?

Anyway, draw four right.

Let's way, No more conversation because I pray to God.

Who are we to say that you really pray?

Me? Think about that?

We know one first, we know we know when the

person say they really pray, we do. We don't know

what because a person who really prais exhibit a different lifestyle.

And really sometimes you just make a statement. I pray, yes,

maybe they did. I would you imagine right now, right Monday,

you share with us. I got this major cross road,

life changing and either hear or taking a posting overseas.

It's but I want I want God's best for my life.

Everybody wants to gods best for your life right Monday,

right Thursday.

These shoes made really.

I say that from Monday to Thursday, when we could

your prayer get answer the Monday and that they request

or rather that that that that fortunately did not just

come on Monday. Some people just say Monday came Monday,

prayer about it Thursday. This should made you really answer

given you readly. The question here is is that did

we really labor.

In prayer or was it just over a meal? God?

This decision guide me.

Ten seconds full star threads is not because a longer

prayer your your think will be hurt and answered. But

I want you to understand the weight of some of

the decas should we make. It is very weighty, huge responsibility,

the bigger the responses.

It shouldn't be labored just slightly longer in prayer. Right,

isn't it true?

If you're if if something will have my age, I'm

fifty one this year, I will ask a question really

in recently you're fifty one? Now, what do you do

to keep young? Pilati? First first time someone asked mer

that did pilatis is not to keep young?

Okay?

Is you could see my body ship and my side

to do Pilatis threads it is crazy, no yoga.

So what do you do? Keep young?

I say, you eat, you eat, you eat well, you

have a wife. The next you you show young and

it's kidding, all right. She doesn't make me.

She just gently want me to eat properly.

You need right now first, it's you must understand the

wit of the decision. The wit of the decision, really

the demands of me to take a longer time and

to label in prayer, not just I'll pray about it.

Especially Live Partner, what do you want to pursue? Your

other leaders don't believe on this day. Oh, shy, shy, shy, right,

I said, because of the h ide said, I said, Lord,

anyone that comes my way, Lord from some money, I'm

sious even one won't disagree.

Hellelujah amen ah.

Life Partner, Ah, I just want to share this use

true story that people come up to us. Elder tells,

tells me on Tuesday, confirmed by Friday tells me on Tuesday,

or that I'm contruting this girl. Then Friday confirmed.

I were like, Okay, it's your choice, no problem.

I mean that you will disagree on but we can

we know what journey it would be in front of them.

You Tuesday, you tell Friday confirmed?

So in between is what come on?

I want you to in between it's it's it's it's.

A lot of phone calls with each other.

Now we've got a lot of phone calls each other,

a lot of exchanging of notes to each other. First

your heart really sold out to each other already, friends,

just buying type of tree day to the after letting

you know that it is confirmed. So we need to

understand that, friends, that prayer, friends, is not just a

one time statement. Why whatever we just say just two

how what's the right way? They say, just to uh

get the leaders of our bag, just to feel good

about ourselfs. But really sometimes we can come to a

place whereby prayer is just a statement.

Amen. Now next night, play scepter four wards sixty seven.

We all know this scripture.

All right, be anxious for nothing, but in everything by

prayer and supplication with thanksgiving. Let your request be mid

non to God. Come on there, you could request be

mid now to God and God let me see.

Just let me just and the peace of God. The

supposes understand him.

We've got your heart and mind through Christ Jesus all right,

So number one in your in your book, the gift

of prayer, right, friends, prayer is in the greatest how

to pronounce it, I'm not very good for a shoe cool.

I think ifeverell. I think you can you can go

get it all right. But anyway, it's a genuine kind

of prayer whereby you worship lot, friends, you worship Lot,

you praise Him for who he is. Even before we

start praying, we need to know that God is sovereign,

almighty that nothing is possible with him. First, even before

you start praying, bringing up your need, we need to

reframe how we see things. Because some place we can

come to pray whereby the problem is bigger than God.

Come on that the situation is bigger than who who is?

You know?

In our church, earladies of church, I think from our

wrong year. The fourth year of the fifth year, a

parent came in, a missionary parent came in.

His son was caught. Uh. I was caught by the police.

He mixed with the wrong crowd and uh and because

it's American, they wanted really to make an example of him,

especially with our local enforcement. He went to prison detention

in Puchong. That came up to us distort missionary for

the longest time doing Biber translation. And it says that

I got to pray for my son. I got to

pray for my son. He didn't, he did not meet

the grammich for death penalty. But he had some or

his friend had some. But he was he was in

a place whereby he was in despair, didn't know what

to do. Came to church we had back then we

had forty days forty days of prayer. So we had

forty days every night the church was open for prayer.

He came every night, every night, he came every night,

he came every night.

He came, open the world and begin to prayer.

Ask God, God, please have mercy on my son, Have

mercy on my son. The church prayer along with him.

You know, sometimes really said, you know, parents give a

lot to serve the Lord. Parents give up, really sacrifice

a lot to serve God. Yet sometimes and then.

We go after the children, really go after the children,

mess mess them up.

So by the end of the forty days friends, the

police had to let him go based on technicality, technicality, technicality,

there was a technicality.

There in the evidence. He was released from prison.

They did some stuff at the prison because again they

want to make an example from him. The moment he

got released, friends parents' book of flight, all of them

just left the country the moment.

The next day, next day.

The police was asking that, or rather the they were

asking that how come he was let go? They really

like you understand or in Malaysia, if you want to

do something, they could how come he was let go

and they really wanted to make an example out from him.

I want you to know this that three of friends,

it's not just praying this rewards. But if you understand

this scripture Philipishupter four, the word prayer that by bye,

by prayer is really first worship Him because our hearts

could be so filled with worthy without with just being

over with situation.

When you are in the position of being overwhelmed, what.

Happens when you're in the position of hopelessness whip first, friends,

It fills your heart with fear that become pray. It

feels your heart in a place whereby we can't even

know that God will come true for us, and we

pray things from a position whereby surrounding to the problem

first then exalting God.

So bye, by prayer, friends, is putting God. God, you

are the more, you're bigger.

And that's why in Hebrews chapter eleven, verse six, without faith,

it's impossible to please. But he who comes to God

must believe. Friends, right, prayer is coming before God. We

must believe who it is. God will always bring you

to a place whereby to cause you to believe in him.

He would.

For me was my operation when I had to put

my stent on my heart, lying down there, I was

looking at the bright lights, taking to myself at for

the five I could have died at for the five.

You know I could have You know, I would say

I crat out very differently. I could have a strong

for the five.

But for the five.

I was lying down there just all in my mind

was just this reciting some strainy tree and the operation table.

They're just reciting some sprainy tree. The lost my shepherd,

I shall not have been in one. Though I walked

through the radio show with death, I shall not fear.

And God just reminded me and I felt got peace.

And sure enough when when I was when I when

he was doing the stand on me, he said, so

someone needs to know that, uh, there are some other

things we discovered insight near to your heart are trees

there that requires some attached. Since we cut you open

and ready, we must see what we can do. And

went like wow, just like fixing your card. Yeah, I

fixing your CARDO. After you open up things, you want

to fix something or the other things you discover along

the way, they they fixing the Since we cut you

open the radio with my as well. Right, I went

like silver, I think last year I had after five years,

I did my stand five I did my city scan.

Last year I had to go and they have to

put a scope in uh to check on my stead

the time. It was funny because there was a possibility

there was another narrowing, so check it there.

You see.

It's very funny because I just have there with this

very funny say this one. We won't do anything. We

won't do anything. But if you few chest pain, I

come and see us. I want to tell you by time,

a few chest pain like that, but that really though,

you know that if you feel discomfort, chests been around you.

Hear right, come and see us.

Okay to myself, like my few chest beIN it really

really feel like the chest pain you could have diet

really were like, oh, that's that's so real, assuring.

The same time because I was cut open and saying

it's certain. Radio.

So we also discovered this, like fixing cup number two.

We also discover other things there that you know, it

looks that you have some things.

Along the walls of your archery.

I'm like, you must not just cot me open someone

and just check whatever. So but it's there's nothing to

worry about. I think should be okay on. But since

you are there, we see what how hell can clean

up a bit?

Friends?

Here comes to God must believe lying at the table there, friends,

I want to let you know, one of the things

that's really discouraging is not that you're being operated on,

is to hear that you're just one of the patient.

And so I was lying down there, Oh I just

heard was the nurses asking each other, Hey, ninety, who's

going top our lunch? Yeah? Who's going to pack lunch afterwards?

If you are on the table there, friends at the table,

they're just lying out. They're looking at the lights there,

And I mean, I understand our friends, this is part

of their job.

Okay, they see it a thousand times. Radio. I'm just anyway,

and you're just lying out there.

Yeah, after who's going Who's goed to the I'm not

lying down there, hey, guys, please be competsion.

I'm lying out here. I can hear you guys talking.

Like if let's say something happened to me on the

table on the table right of sounama Ti, I just

want to I'm like just lying down there like then

when when when when the when the surgeon came. The

doctor came and was started operating me. Yeah, first says

it put all this equipment mon not very good, the

way the place where he put his hand to stable

and this this then then all this is on sample.

Samp I went like, friends, don't you think at the

very moment, once you hear all these friends, it works

on you. Come on, it works on you. You you

at the very moment, you feel a bit like ah, right,

feel scared, tumor you know the slight we got up

perature all the time. Right there after you hear some

of these things, you wish you could just fix on

your own.

Right, it's one of those things that things are spoiling

the house. You fix it on your own.

You can't your you are you basically put your life

with someone else's hand, who may or may not have

the best interests. I say, the best interest. You'll try

the best. But you understand what I'm trying to say.

The only person save yourself is you, right lye down there.

All you have in the right that very moment is God, God, Oh,

come true for you. That's why it starts to be

prayer first before supplication, and prayer, prayer first, because at

that very moment, friends, all we can think of is

just wishing how big God is really?

How big God is? That God is in control.

If it cause your home, costs your home, but you're

going to go out in a good way. But yet

if it sustain you, there must be a reason. There

must be a reason. Friends, I want to encourage your friends.

The moment whereby you felt distressed, Oh well, worship, pray,

communicate with God God, I mean distressed right now. But

I want just want to focus my attention on you.

I want to focus my heart on you. I want

to focus my soul towards you. Then after you bring

your supplication that this this is the other word. You

bring your supplication, friends, specific prayer, because after you actually

worship God, you have the right perspective. What happened is

that you pray spirit. Let prayers your prayer stoop from

the be a position, from the position of fear of doubt,

but from a position of belief. Friends, So if you

enter the realm of spirit, will be led to praise

Spirit that prayers. Having confidence, friends, come on, having confidence

in God very important for us.

Having this confidence in God. Our trip to chain myn

was supposed to be.

We're supposed to fly for on Thursday, that flag or

cancer floor on Friday.

I remember pass just saying this.

There must be a reason, you know why, God has

just cut one day shot for this trip.

Land down there. We didn't three always have to be

in church the rerival meeting the next day.

Passa just came up to me, okay, since you are here,

since you are here, and changed my with me and said,

could you take twenty minutes to share about discipleship, no

preparation beforehand over the breakfast, since you're here for the

seauin right after, say you get to church.

Okay, share from.

Your position, from your discipleship is all about now if

it's very different, friends, when we share your family here,

you know me, I know you right, it's very different.

But when you share in front of someone else you

have not met, sometimes you get worried. It works on

your heart. Remember, say God, if you want me to share,

just share right. I want to encourage you friends, when

you have confidences, to go God. If you can use anyone,

just use use me. We print those prayers before when

we were young. Did we God put you in the

place like that. You're gonna say that, Oh I can't, No,

I won't.

So worship we frame our thoughts.

Supplication reminds us what we need to pray for, not

from a position of fear, from a position of faith.

Next light, we can be a church and still go

to the motion of prayer. Come on, this is the

point that we do. Can be in church, we still

go to the motion of prayer. You can be in church,

we say, go through and this is what happens. Okay,

we see to each other. I'll pray about it. Let's

pray about it. I'll pray for you next night. By

adding the statement I'll pray about it, I major decision

of our lives. We something can justify the decision we

are making by adding the statement I'll pray about it,

or something if we can just say I'll pray for you,

we can justify our action. And that's why sometimes we

go through the motion of what prayer is, we cheapen

the words of what prayer is.

Right. I have a friend not in some money.

Who say he loves his wife a lot. I say, great,

it's good to love your wife. Every husband say amen,

good time.

Me say ah, I say it's good for a husband

to love wife. Right. Amen.

So this guy say he loves his wife a lot,

loves his lot. I say, oh great, great, I say,

any will see what's your plan? Oh, plan to go

for dinner? Go for dinner for anyone here?

Oh, I say, go? Where do you better? Take her?

baseball cap and jeans. I see if you see you

I saw the picture, said, whether were you doing.

With the baseball care with the talent restaurant? But do

you this is not your meeting of your friends. See

a lot of times we see that we we love,

but we're not willing to pay the price. Come on,

I'll pray for you.

Maybe one people come up to me and just and

change my I'm thirty one, I'm singer. No guy in church,

But anyway, come up there after I look at that,

good because someone is actually praying. But on the other

flip side, I'm on this side. I don't forgot why

I say to him, really, and there is no integrity

in our prayer, you know statement, Come on next, like,

if you truly pray about it, it can be seen

in the way we carry our daily life if.

We truly pray about it.

Because if you truly pray about it, the next I

praying for you, because you can fold up by changing

the way you say. I have been praying for you.

It's not all pray for you again and many times

Please please don't pray for me.

Okay, everything you'll prove for me, something happens, okay, no, no, no, right,

good or bad. I'll pray for you, regent, ten more minutes,

I'll pray for you, all right, right, don't do that, friends,

don't do that.

Don't if you want to commit, commit to pray all right. Next.

Some people say they have prayer about it, yet give

glory to themselves. All right, I really a prayer. Some

people say, I pray about it. So by the time

you overcome all the obstacles, you o come all the challenges.

You say, you know what, I felt that I was

led to do this.

There is no.

Giving glory to God. There is no lea say that

God give me the wisdom. There is nothing and oh

they just say at the other day, Wow, I survive.

Look at me, I'm champion. Because if you truly have

prayed about it, friends can just say this, it will

really change your life. You will rush into decision when

friends you won't. You won't because sometimes God takes over

things happen right, you will not rush into decision.

Number one.

Number two is this that when you really pray about it,

you be at peace to matter what the outcome is

because you know what it's not the outcome.

You know that God is still in control. God is

still in control.

And many times now in our lives strengths, we want

to push things and get this our own way. We

want our way because if God answers the way we want,

we know that God's real. But if God give us

a different answer, different answer.

That what we want. It's still an answer by him,

so we should.

Surrender really the results to him and we pray God,

you will be done right next night. So being prayer power, friends,

prayers not event. We don't just see it event because

some people will prayer service just an event, hence choosing

come or not to come. Now, friends understand, logistically understand, Okay,

I have to say this just before answers are we

will stay nearby here you stay having an hour for

five minutes, okay, the seventh say this was okay, But

can you just say this when we can come for

prayer service on when we can? For example, like let's

say this commit Tuesday is peer service, and so happened

that this Tuesday is also a public holiday, for example,

something like.

A public holiday. We don't you want to come far

traffic jam?

I understand traffic jam during the normal days, but when

we can come on when you can?

Would you come when you can? Would you come along?

Because a lot of times we say that we won't

come because of every other reason.

I understand.

Now a problem happens naturally, work and everything like that,

But when that so happened, if the prayers service falls

on the day it's a public holiday. For example, would

you remove the reason and just say about our shock,

because if it's just even friends, you can always up

to miss We missed birthdays even before some man we

forget our nursery before we forget our child's birthday before

right happen to friends, because it's event basement. So therefore, friends,

if we truly believe, we want to come together with

other people that believe as well to seek the Lord.

Our early days of the church, friends, early days of

the church, we came together to pray, ask God for guidance,

especially say I give you six months you have to

look for a new place. Six months you have looked

for a new place. Friends, we were majority campracility, don't

know what to do and stuff like. We just pray

God to leaders to guide us. So from a shop

lot we went to summit. I was thinking, oh, finally

we went to a shopping mall. Fantastic, okay, expecting a

place whereby his descern, you know, the only place they

could offer us was is that nobody wanted whereby swish

water was looking from the ceiling right dripping down couples.

Really dir tea, that is it the space on one

entrance only right, and they say that this day we

went to you chip one ring it for scrafit. Then

I was just scraf still ten thousand ring. It was

so explensive. First we didn't what to do. But you know,

how do you make decisions like that? Friends, because whatever

decision you commit to affects the whole church. You know

how weighted those decisions are. Not I want you to

understand that reading the decision the lumber.

We need to pray. So if we treat the leadership,

just treat this as if my persent.

Hey, guys, let's just pray right, thinking that they know

how to push people for financing. No, so we need

to land on the place. By God, you are in control.

We believe this is your church. You'll come to first.

Amen.

Next, like if we really extra power forward to see

all hope that vision come to true, we need to pray.

We need to pray ex money. How how would you

grow pray? I shared this to be we are my wife.

List the men in group and for the longest time,

they have not seen newcomers for the past six months.

I think last year's September they moved a new place

even then people say excited, Hey, but no no one

from Taylor's college because they meet in Taylor's. So they

decided during the yeous U turn dus un say enough

is enough. We will pray, pray for every seat to

be filled, pray for people who come down right almost

every week or newcomers now one one newcomers and everything.

I think last week, last week, last week, last weeks

or two weeks ago, someone's mom gave their life to Jesus.

So they say that we want one, we.

Want we want every every week to see salvation in

church that after they took it to that, not see that.

Why do we only pray for new souls in church?

Let's pray for new visitors, for homes, for homes. So

I think two weeks ago, if the last month there

was a home they had regarded about three new visitors,

for new visitors, pre believers and stuff like just coming

for homes and to.

What you know that prayer does work.

If we see all the homes that do come to

past rest, we need to pray all right, next night

I got to close ready, all right, prayer.

Reviewers are dependency whether we pray or not.

Reviews who are depending on, come on, whether we pray

or not, reviews who we are depending on.

I was so one time out there.

Because we have new sound system, new sound system. Because

we knew sound system, people will want to come to church, Liza,

we new sound system, people want.

To come to church.

I'm not sure whether you keep the church this morning

because of this amazing facility that we have here.

First of all, it's up at the roof so hot.

Second thing is that only one entrance to me, even

if one live early everybody, everybody's been looking at me.

I'm not sure, friends, because if it was just that first,

if reveals who you're depending on.

So, therefore, friends, every single person who says that I'm

really everyone, every single person who say who prays, is

saying I really need you God.

The moment we stop praying, we stop depending on God.

Come on, leaders, always speak to you right now that

the moment we stop praying, we are saying that I'm

depending on your God. And the dangers sometime or having

our own place is just this. I'm going to close

to you. I think that's only to most lies the

dangers of having our own places. This, this is this

that you went to so much of making this place

your home. You gave you came, you painted, set up

the facility here can already done. The dangerous this is

that sometimes we forget to grow. Now you prepare the bardinary,

right you need to bring in the house. But suddenly

we celebrate. But you know, become the extra minium.

Friends.

The facility is amazing. They have their own garden. How

many chess plank got their own garden? Come on you

you want fresh sellar, just go outside?

Only right? How many chips plug can boast about that? Uh?

The next day?

I know you're fresh ulam. Give me hints fresh ulam

out there? You know hospitalities of la money after that?

Right? Yours is the seller you buy outside? Ours is

just house. The house. We can celebrate the facility more.

Come on than God forgetting that God gives us this

place for a reason, to have more people come to

church to experience His love is forgiveness, to know who

Christ is. We can come to a place with celebrate

everything else. I told pass save on this. Are you

sure I told you I wanted for four times? Are

you sure you want to have your own place? Are

you sure you want to have your own place? The

greatest challenge is not this facility is the greatest challenge.

Is the toilets. The toilets.

I can guarantee you because nobody's different. If this is

the office daily for people here right, this is the

office is a weekend place.

Who's going to clean the toilets?

I ask him, although we will mobilized people took clean,

see you sure or not? I can guarantee you after

the second week. People who just complain really forget it.

I'm not gonna use it.

I told him that.

As a close friends. This how I'm gonna let you

when we pray. When we pray, God's gonna give you

the grace and the strength providing this place for your friends.

Every place got challenges. One he may provide you with

the job. The job is not gonna go come in

and they say, this is a land flow with milk

and honey. Although the land can be flowing with milk

and honey, you still have to carry the provision to

your house. When we pray, friends, we're just saying God,

I need you. When we pray, friends, we are saying God,

I surrender. When we pray church, we're just saying that God,

you're in control. That's like close friends. I'm not sure

where you are with your walk with Christ this morning.

I'm not sure where you are this morning with your

walk with Him. We just have to make sure, friends,

and nothing gets our future. Letting gets our future except

for a relationship with a lot. It's my prayer, friends,

one joint five verse for this is that now these

confidence that we have in Him that if we ask

anything according to his real he will hear us. This

is the confidence that we have that we've asked anything

according to his will, that he will hear us.

We hope you've been blessed by this message. For more
