12+1 Core Values: Prayer-Powered | Eld Terence Atkinson

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

We hope this message will light up your day.

So this morning we are doing co value number six

and it's prayer powered. You know, I'm probably the least

qualified person to talk on prayer. The reason is because

I do not consider myself one of those prayer warriors.

You know, I do not consider myself to be in

the league of uh you know, some of our great

leaders in ex church. But I will say this, I'm

a great conversationalist with a lot you know. I talked

to him about everything, and I guess how I've seen

that work is it qualifies as prayer. And I hope

that by the end of this session you'll be encouraged

to pray to the Lord more. Okay, now, we as

believers do not just believe in the power of prayer.

We don't because we believe.

That prayer is what powers us. How many of you

know that the you know, when you go you go

to a petrol station, the what is it called the

nozzle that fills up your petrol doesn't care whether you

use it or not. Does it care if you don't

use that nozzle? Will you get the patrol of power

your vehicle. No, so the onness is on who to

use that nozzle.

Onness is on us.

You see, if you take God like that patrol dispensing machine,

it's there. If you don't use it, you won't benefit.

If you don't use it, you won't grow. If you

don't use it, you won't be blessed. So we run

away from prayer. And I don't know why, maybe because

we think prayer. You know, how many of you see

these shows where the monks, you know, the Christian monks

go to this place and then they don't talk to

anybody and there in their room, and they're paying twenty

four hours a day. Maybe that's why we fear prayer,

you know. But if we realize that prayer is nothing

more than conversation with God Almighty, perhaps we will change

our way of thinking. Many of you have heard testimonies,

have shared so many times before. Then every time I

go to a buffet, I think you will love me

at a buffet.

You know why not?

You will be watching me very carefully what I take

and what I don't take. Because as I'm walking past

the buffy line, I talk to the Lord, say Lord,

what about this this is good?

Is that good? Is this good? Is that good?

I never listen to my family members. They will tell me, oh,

you got to try this is really great. Come on,

why aren't you trying it? Because my spirit did not

tell me to do so, and I won't no matter

how many people tell me how good it is. And

of course the next day I find out I'm right

now because I'm okay and everybody.

Else is not.

So you see, it pays to talk to the Lord

about things. You know that when we say we believe

in the power of prayer, that is doctrine. No, it's doctrine.

Doctrine is something set in stone said, it's it's legal,

it's something legal, all right. Do you just believe in

the legality of the power prayer or are you looking

at something that is a lived reality?

Guys, I do not believe in.

Theory. Well, theory is good, Okay, I'm not saying theory

is bad, but theory for the sake of theory is

just sad. You want to see theory work in your life,

don't you. You want to see great things happen in

your life, don't you.

Guys?

We got this rat problem in the house Okay, it's

not in the house. Okay, rats are not in the house.

My house is sealed against rats. No rat can enter

my house. Seriously. But the problem is there's nothing I

can do to stop them from going in the ceiling.

How do they go into the ceiling?

Well, you know, nowadays all houses are connected by sewers, right,

so they actually run up the sewer and then you know,

if you go to the house, you see that pipe

sticking out the ceiling, and that pipe is actually enclosed

with a concrete wall. The rats actually run up that

and get into your ceiling. And really it's like they're

playing music in your bedroom. It's like the drums just

multiply the sound. You can't sleep. They disturb you, they

drive you crazy. So what do we do about it?

We just do nothing. We pray say Lord, Help, Lord Help,

And you know, after praying something simple like that, the

Lord will just put an eye and say in my head,

why didn't you try this? Now my old house, what

I did was I went into the roof and I

put Florestan light. And so when I turn on the

Florestan light, the rat doesn't come right. But the rats

are quite smart. They started biting the wire. They're very wired.

Why is the like you know what I told the rat,

I am smarter than you. I have the mind of

the Lord. So what I did was I actually put

the light in a pipe and I hung it in midair.

Try and get that rat. I want. God gives ideas. Hey,

you're smarter than a rat.

This time, what we decided to do was, you know,

because of it's quite difficult my size to go into

the roof. Okay, this is the hole is very small

and for me to pull myself in a little bit difficult. Right,

So this time what I did is I tried signs.

You know what signs. I tried the power sound. So

I bought this thing which I cannot hear, and I

put it in the wall and guess what, it works,

So I don't have to go into the roof. When

you pray and you ask the Lord, he will give

you answers. Guys, I was walking this morning. You know

when I pray, When I preach on a Sunday, it

doesn't come without prayer. You know, because I don't want

to tell you things that are not going to work.

I want the Holy Spirit to reach out to your

heart and say, hey.

If he can do it, so can you.

So I get up early in the morning and I pray,

and I go walking, and I go worshiping the Lord,

and I go tell the Lord, you got to tell

me what to tell them. You got to speak to

me so that I will be able to minister your

word to everybody. So the word that we share doesn't

come without a price. This morning, as I was walking

in the dark before five, going round and round and round,

praying for you, praying that God was going to do something,

and the Lord shared with me a little bit about prayer,

which I will share with you, and perhaps you'll understand

why sometimes it seems a say pressed don't get answered.

It seems when you pray the silence. When you're a baby,

you know your your child, you know, toddler, just learning

to speak. Whatever the child asks, if it's not bad

for them, you'll give fright now. You'll answer their prayer,

their their their speech, their conversation with you, and you'll be.

So nice body.

Yeah, even when it's something bad, you say no, no, no,

this one is not good for you. Why don't I

get you something that like that? You know there's always

an answer, and you can hear it and you can

see it pretty quickly, Craig, when you become born again,

how many of you remember when you first were saved

that almost everything you prayed for you got it straight away?

Do you all remember that time? Am I speaking to

a crowd? That doesn't happen? Doesn't? Do you all agree

with that or not? Can I see a show, Hans?

Do you know why? That is?

Because you were a baby to the Lord, your baby

steps you were.

Taking and he was encouraging. Yeah, my child.

And you know when you wanted something, no, no, no,

I give you something else, but you got something.

So every time you prayed, wow, it happened.

And then you came to this time when you were

a twin. This is before the before the the what

do you call it? Teenagers, before the time. So you're

talking about at nine, eight, nine ten, And do you

know that this was a time of instruction and is

a time where you were teaching the child to reason.

This is why you do so things. This is why

you have to clean your room, this is why. And

you talk to them and you speak to them and

you instruct them. But you notice that during this time

your word is still law. I want you to do

it this way. I want you to do it this way,

and only when you do it this way you'll see results.

How many of you felt like that when you were

growing up that during this time, your parents' word was law.

For those of us that are older, it didn't matter

how old you were, their word was law. You didn't

follow their word, most likely you got knocked on the head.

But for the I'm talking about the millennials and the

newer guys and all that. You know, Yeah, there's there's

a time when you're talking and people are explaining to you.

Do you know that even in the Kingdom of God, there's.

A time like this.

That after you move from the baby time, there's a

time where the word has got to speak into you.

The word has got to get into you. You allow

learning the word. You're learning how to use the word.

So when you pray, sometimes you get your answer and

sometimes you don't. And when you don't, you have to

take the trouble to learn why is it you didn't

get your answer? Have you experienced that before? That is

like your tween time? Eight two twelve. Let me tell

you there are three answers that the Lord always gives.

Yes no, and the one we all dread wait wait

always is the weight comes in you know what no, no,

wit comes in two forms, yes and no, So it's

actually yes, wait, yes, wait, no, yes, no, and then

that silence you gotta you know? Okay, let me tell

you now, okay. If your answer is silence, the answer

is automatically no for now. No need to stress over it,

no need to say God, why you don't answer my prayer?

He's answered you, just that you didn't like the answer.

Why not the many people you've been praying a lot.

I've been praying for a partner for so long. Have

you got one yet? No, that's your answer. Why complicate things?

When the time is right, the answer will come. Why

do you need to be so complicated? So this is

the that that way, Then we come to the teenage years.

The teenage years is where you fight for your right

and most of the time you're wrong.

Why not?

And you'll find during this time the Lord is completely silent,

not a word from him. Why should he answer you?

You don't know how to respect him? You get no response.

So sometimes when we are living our life, we're going

to ask ourselves, how are we behaving? Are we behaving

like the baby. Are we behaving like the eighth to

the twelve year olds? Or are we behaving like disgruntled teenagers?

Do you know?

It doesn't stay that way. There comes a time when

you're mature, and when you're mature you have conversations. Guys,

how do you talk to your parents now that your adults?

Is it a conversation? Hi?

How are you? Perhaps you should do it this way?

Yeah, this is not working on these kind of conversations

with your parents. Do you know if you look at Abraham,

Abraham had a conversation with the Lord. Lord, if they

are fifty, will you destroy him?

Lord?

If they are forty, will you destroy What was he doing?

He was having a converzation. Guys, that's the ultimate. When

we can get to that point in our prayer, when

we are having conversations with the Lord, That's what this

is all about. Okay, let's move on now. Do you

know that scripture says when we pray, so it is

not an option. Guys, if you thought that it was

an option whether to pray to the Lord or not,

let me make it clear. It is not an option,

because it is not if we pray, but where and

we pray. Guys, if you and I want to see

answers come quickly, let's not let the wend.

Be too long. That's why I believe that.

For me, I'm kind of having these conversations with the

Lord every day. I'm talking with him as I'm driving

in the car, as I'm walking in the street, as

I'm going to the shop, as I'm walking past the

Buffy line.

I'm talking all.

Sorts of seemingly insignificant things with him. Why is it

important to be that conversational with the Lord? Because when

an important thing comes along your way, you'll be able

to hear.

I remember.

Not too long ago when Elder mable called me up

and said friend's father is in hospital. He's not safe.

In my heart, I heard the Lord say go and

go now. But I don't even know the guy. It's

her friend, not mine. Her friend is my friend now,

But you know what I mean, Ah, you know what

I mean. So I actually said I have to go

and pray for somebody in hospital. So I actually rushed.

And do you know there was a day that it

rained so heavily I could barely see the road. It

was such a struggle to get to the cancer hospital

in Cyberjaya. Literally cannot see the road, that's how heavy

the rain was. But I still went and when I

got there, I saw that man and I shared the

Gospel with him and he accepted Christ.

Can you hear? How are you going to be able

to hear?

Is if you don't have conversations with the Lord, If

you're not tuned to his hearing, how will you ever

hear when he wants to tell you something important? You know,

both of us, when he wants to speak to us,

he will tell me a verse. Then I'll be in

the kind and say, you know, the Lord just said

this was Hey, he said the same thing to me.

We know that's what the Lord is leading. It's quite

fun when you can live that way. They save you

a lot of trouble. Okay, let's move on now. Prayer

is a gift. In case you do not know, Prayer

is a gift. Even in ex church, when we, you know,

go out to start plans, it always starts with prayer.

He doesn't start with our honability. You want to do

something in your honability? It is hit and miss. Okay,

He's really hit and miss. If I don't pray for

the service when I come and share with you. You

are relying on as elemibles as my eloquence. How many

nice speeches you've heard from such eloquent people that you

cannot remember today? True not. There's this thing called ted talks.

Have you heard of it? Ted talks? People have just

recently come to care for ted talks. You ask anybody

what anybody said? Nobody can remember, but they can Ah,

very eloquent. Is that what you want? No, So I

don't want to be eloquent. I want to be useful.

So I have to rely on God. And prayer is

that gift that gets me started, just like how it

is howed many churches get started. Our God is a

prayer answering God, and prayer is one of the best

gifts God has given us to connect with Him through prayer.

But yet that's the thing we just want to stay

away from, Craig. We don't mind reading the Word. We

love reading gospel books.

True not.

I love seeing Chosen though I haven't seen one episode yet.

All right, we all love all these things. But why

is it we have this diff dificulty getting to prayer?

When scripture says in Philippines four sixty seven, I remember

sharing this. I hope it's with you, but I shed

it one of the plants. Be anxious for nothing, but

in everything, by prayer and supplication and thanksgiving. Let your

requests be made known to God. And the peace of God,

which surpasses all understanding. Will God your hearts and mind

through Christ Jesus. And here we think this word peace

is just.

Rest.

Do you realize that the root word for this word

peace means anything you can think of. It means your prosperity, wealth,

your financial wealth. It also means your health, It means

your dreams, it means all those things that you desire.

And it's found here that you are to make it

known to God in prayer with thanksgiving.

But you and I we don't do it.

And then we sit on the edge of our beds

wondering what's happened to us?

When He's given us the answer all along. It's a gift.

If it's difficult to get down on your knees to

pray like the monks do, then develop the conversational habit

with the Lord. There are the times when you'll go

to the private place to pray. There are those times,

But why limit those times Jesus went early in the

morning up the mountain and he had his conversation with

the Lord. He had his private the Lord. When it

came down, he did miracles. There is a time for that.

But you and I we have such difficulty in getting

to that place, right, So let's start off conversing with him.

All right, let's move on the integrity of prayer. Do

you know that prayer there is in integrity? We need

to be careful about simply using the word I've prayed

about it when we make major decisions in our life.

Wow.

A lot of people, you hear them say, Oh, I

prayed about it. I prayed about it. Do I leave

church go to another church, or I prayed about it?

Ah? Do I change jobs from here today? Or I

prayed about it? Wow?

Do you think you are what Jesus had to spend

time with the Lord and you just say it with

an ending like a full stop, and we expect God

to answer. Guys, Let's not live in a dream world. Okay,

that's living in a dream world.

Let's live in the real world.

Praying about it means you have to invest some time

into it. You have to invest some time into it.

It's not a Oh, I pray about it. You know

when you receive how many you receive those prayer requests?

Or pray for this person this person is ill, Pray

for that person. That person is ill, you know, and

what do we do? Or Lord, just hear that person

in Jesus name. Come on, that's a full stop. That

is a comma. That is some note on a piece

of paper. But praying about it would be something like this.

You know, Lord, I can understand how difficult it is

to go through this kind of pain, this kind of issue.

Or it could be. Lord, I have no idea what

this person is going through, but I can sense that

is difficulty. It is difficult for the children. I can

sense it's difficult for my brother and sister, Lord to

see their parent like that. God, I ask your Lord,

in the name of Jesus, to do something. I know

you can do something. I worship you, I appraise you.

I know you're a God who's good and you have

their intentions at heart. So Lord, can you help them.

I can imagine how much of money it's gonna take

for them to be in hospital. Lord, can you provide?

Do you see the difference? One is a prayer one

is just a mark on a piece of paper. I

gotta tell you this that this is another. This is

a real testimony. Okay, we have three parents that are alive,

my mother, her mother, and my father. My mother is

eighty nine years old, her mother is ninety two, and

my father is ninety four. My father is for the

most part, actually his bedridden already. Okay, he can't walk anymore,

and he's very frail. He speaks in whispers. He's ninety

four years old. My mother is eighty nine. She just

celebrated the eighty nine birthday last month, and she is

struggling with dementia.

All right.

At this point in time, she remembers who we are,

but she's sort of forgotten. After thirty five years, she's forgotten.

So she cannot remember my daughter. She knows something about her,

but cannot remember who she is. So you know that

the memory, you can see how it is moving or

how it is losing her.

And then we have.

As a Mabel's mom who's ninety two. She's still walking,

she's still talking in having meaningful conversations at her age.

She cooks, she's still cooking. She's still you know, when

you go to the house's You can't believe that she's

ninety two.

Do you know what makes the difference.

My parents came to the Lord late in life, too

late that at this present stage they don't have that

ability to read. And and you know, my mom says,

she prays, and every day she says, here comes the beggar.

How you said stop her? I said, you're a child

of God. You don't beg until I read the word.

And one of the words for prayer is beg. So

now I don't stop her. I say, go for it.

Go for it, you know.

So she prays in her own way because according to

her limited understanding. And then my father, of course he

will he prays according to understanding.

But my mother in law reads tamil.

Okay uh. She's Chinese, but she reads tamil. Yeah, because

she was adopted by a Tamo Indian family. And her

tamil is not the kind that we speaker. I don't speak,

but the kind that people speak on the street. Her

tamil is the learned tamil. There's a difference line, you know,

like I'm sure Mandrin you got the learned Mandin you

got run to speak in the street.

There's a difference. But she prays every.

Day every morning, six seven in the morning, she's there

with a Bible on the table. She's reading her scripture

and she is praying. Compare her to my mother and

my father. I am telling you there's a difference. If

you want to be mobile, if you want to be

in full faculty of your mind, there's an answer.

The answer is prayer is prayer. So we need to

be careful how we use our words.

We cannot simply go through the motion and think just

simply by adding it to the sentence, it's going to

be done. Oh we are holy, Now God is not more.

God looks at us and knows exactly where we are,

which is why I always tell.

Him, God, you know I am who I am.

You know I do not see myself as somebody great.

I see myself as a flawed individual. So I come

to law and say, Lord, this is the way I

see myself. But I see you as someone who's able

to do something.

Can you help?

And he always comes through man. The things he does,

he always comes. The ideas that God gives me is

you know, second to none, second to none. It's it's

quite outstanding. The things that I have been able to

do because of the Lord is so astounding. What makes

the difference in my true humility, which is recognizing where

I stand before the Lord. I go to him in

prayer and I say, Lord, help me, and he always

comes through. Oh, there have been the silent times. The

silent times are what? No, the silent times are no.

So in case you are wondering when the old I

prayed to the Lord and he answered my prayer, has

he spoken to you yet? No, He's given me the answer.

So because there is power in prayer, that power should

be seen. Let me tell you, when you pray, you

got to see the result. How do you see the result?

You can very easily compass someone who has prayed and

got the answer from the Lord and someone who has

done the full stop. Oh I prayed about it very

easy to see. Let me give you a couple of

examples in my life. I've now been a Christian for

forty five years. Forty six, forty six okay, okay, my

maths is bad, mine is not working. Nineteen seventy nine, okay,

forty seven years. There we go, forty seven years. I

have been her believer. I want you to know that

in that time of knowing the Lord, I have seen

the Lord do so so many great things. I've only

known two churches. The church that I was saved in

an ex church. That's forty seven years. I have now

been in ex church twenty years. No, not teen years,

seventeen years, seventeen years. I've been in ex church seventeen years.

Why is it? We were praying to the Lord when

my pastor of the first church was going up and

down to Singapore and we were praying about whether to

leave church or not. God's answer was very clear. No.

Do you know when we left our previous church, when

our previous church closed down because the pastor left, then

only we move. You see, God's not fickle. He saved

me in that church. And yet today I get stunned

at how people move church. They get up from their

bed in the morning, Oh I want to go to

this different church. Oh, you are playing around with your salvation.

You mean you say you pray around with your salvation

when you still go to a different church. I will

ask you this question, did you pray about it? I

don't mean full stop praying like in a conversation, a

mark on a piece of paper. I mean did you

pray about it. Oh, I prayed about it, and I felt.

Let guys, you don't move on a feeling. You move

when the Lord speaks in your ears. If you haven't

heard from the Lord, you don't move because God holds

you accountable when you disrupt his plan. You could very

well have been the plan for that church, but you

decided you wanted to go to this church. So whose plan?

Who listened to home? Who did what? You listen to yourself?

It doesn't work that way, I tell you honestly. You

know how you know, you know how you know. It's

quite simple.

You know when it's like this.

When you went to the new church, did you join

the homes? Are you worshiping with the church? Are you

participating in your programs? Or do you only go to

Sunday and then come off home? If that's you, you

already know your answer. You copped out. You didn't get

with the plan. You created your own plan. When I

was praying for Elder mabel Is, she did me. My wife.

I prayed for her, you know how long three and

a half years. I pray for one to one and

a half years before she even knew I was praying

for her because whose answer was I looking for?

First? God?

He's very easy to buy affection one. Oh, Lord, you

know I'm interested in that girl? Can you give it

to me? And then every day you buy flowers, every

day you give a chocolate every calling? Hi?

How are you?

Oh? Put she falls for you? Did she fall for

you because she's God's plan for you? Or she fell

for you because you were casanova?

Guys?

Real questions, real questions? Why do marriages break up? I

gotta ask you this? Did God say that was your

partner to begin with? We've been through so much. We

are now married thirty seven years, thirty seven? Right, thirty nine,

thirty nine, thirty six, okay, thirty seven, Okay, my Matt

is back today. Hey, we've been married for thirty seven years.

Do you know that we still can't do without each other?

We don't take holidays a partner. We watched the same shows.

We always have to be around one another.

Why is that?

Because she was God's answer for me? I was God's

answer for her. We sought the Lord. How many of

you for your partner? Fasted twenty four hours, food and water,

lock yourself in a room and pray for twenty four

hours can I see a show?

Hands? I did? Can you see the difference?

That's prayer, That's real prayer, not the mark on a

piece of paper.

Okay, we've got a little time. Let's move on.

So being prayer power, what is being prepped out pair

is not an inventor. It's not something you just go to. Hey, guys,

you got premitting. Make it a point of go for premitting.

You know why, because when you pray together, what are

you doing conversing with the Lord with your family? So

when you're in trouble and your family prays, well you

guess what you get answers. But if you can't be bothered, oh,

it's just another one of those things I do want

to get involved in. Let me, I gotta tell you this, sir.

If you and I are not enthusiastic about the Lord's things,

why should the Lord be enthusiastic about ours? And you

think we are going to make it to the same heaven? Guys,

God is very, very interested to see that the ones

that go into his home fit the bill. You know

how they fit the bill. He's not asking you to

be cool. Fact, you have asked the Lord to come

into your heart and be a Lord, and saby he

does that, but then he expects you to be interested

in him. If you can't be interested in God, why

should he be interested in you. Scripture says honor me,

and I will honor you. I don't want to speak

about the other scripture because it's quite a tough one,

all right, but that will be for another time. So

prayer means prayer power means we don't just use it

as an event. If we really want to see exchange

powered forward, to see all our dreams, hopes and visions

come through, then we need to pray. Pray as a lifestyle.

Jesus said that when we pray, He did not say

if we pray and I've answered this question, how do

we do that? Was he? Every day we go to

our room, get done on er knees. And if you

can do that, you won't lose. But even if you

cannot do that, if you just converse with Him each

and every moment of your life, Hey, I go to

a shoe shop and say, God, what do you think

of the shoe?

Is it nicer? Can I get this?

Even though sometimes I don't hear him, But the fact

that the matter is, I'm talking to him about it? Hey, Lord,

what should I eat today? Should I take this string along?

Tell him about worries that I like sweet things?

Right? So in my office you got bingjui gay.

I said, how it's pronounced? Oh, won't something like that

lad ice cream? So I asked the Lord, Lord, can

I take?

And do you know what? He allows me to take?

Maybe once a month, no, every day.

You see, if you can be honest enough to answer,

ask the Lord, he will be honest enough to give

you an answer. Pray it's not an option, it is obedience.

It is obedience. You know that prayer hows you forward? Yes,

thank you? Five minutes.

We don't just.

Believe in the power of prayer. That prayer is the

power that will power us forward. Guys, Why am I

here today? Why am I here today? It has been

you know, forty five years since I found a lot.

I've been through so many things that would have destroyed people.

But why am I here today? Because of prayer, because

of trusting load, because of believing in him, Because knowing

here in my life is what matters. Okay, it's a

requirement to get us to where God wants us to

get to. If you're not moving anywhere. If you're stuck

where you are, you got to increase your prayer life.

Every ex churge plan is there because it has been

prayed for, and prayer reveals our dependence. And see, guys,

you want to depend on your intelligencer. The worst thing

you can ever do to your child is say, oh,

you're very clever.

Do you know that?

You never tell your child you're very clever? Do you

know why you are setting them up for failure? Because

one day when they sit for that exam and they fail,

they will say, oh, I fail because I'm not clever.

You know how you validate your child? Well done, you

worked hard, scripture, well done, my good and faithful serven.

You've been faithful over this. I will give you that.

What was it? He went out and worked, went out

and worked. So when you validate your child that way

and you say, well done, you did very well because

you worked hard. Later on, when they go to university

one paper they flunger, They say, oh it means I

didn't work hard enough. I'll put in an effort and

I'll get through. See the difference, guys, who are we

depending on? It's Jesus. Jesus gets us to where we

want to go.

God, through our.

Prayer to him, will take you. I'm sixty five years old.

I got saved when I was seventeen. I have not

changed my mind. Jesus is Lord. I am so shocked

at how I see young people leave and come back

to the Lord like changing clothes. Hopefully the Lord doesn't

come back at the time when the cloak is off.

Then you miss out. Guys, make up your mind. Choose

him all the time. Okay, every single person who prays

and says I really need you God. The moment we

stop praying, we stop depending on God. Why do you

think I go up at four in the morning to

pray for the service because I want you to be blessed.

I want the spirit of the Lord to speak to

your heart, not my words. My words will come and go,

but then you get stuck with it in your heart.

Oh, I can't pray. It's not difficult, it's easy. I

can do it.

We want to ensure that nothing gets us to our future.

Accept our relationship with the Lord. Guys, my future is good.

At sixty five, my distance to getting to be with

the Lord has become very short. It's okay, my wife

and me we don't mind. It means we're coming closer

to our goal of meeting Jesus. You younger ones, you're

a long way to go. We're going to finish the

race man and as seeking the Lord, asking for his help,

the result is God answering our prayer according.

To his will.

Praying people will always be in line and aligning God's will. Guys, now,

this is the confidence that we have in Him that

if we ask anything according to his will, he will

hear us. Remember I said, you know the answer is no.

You ask for a partner and you didn't get any answer,

and the answer says no.

It's okay. Keep the faith.

Still believe God has a partner with you, because it's

a good thing. Scripture says, if we ask anything and

it's accordance with his will, he'll give it to us.

It's just that it was not according to your timing.

So you get married one year before you go and

meet the Lord. Praise the Lord. God only had one

year for you as a married person.

Do you know there are.

People like that go through their whole life cannot find partner.

At the age of ninety five, find partner age of

ninety six, go home, and be the Lord. Hey, he's

bliss man, He's okay, one hundred percent. That's what you

and I want. We have to change the way we think.

We got to put us in line with the way

the Lord thinks. And with that, man, I was rushing

because I got two minutes to go. I want you

to know prayer is the way prays the answer to

everything you need, even though the answer may be Wait.

Prays the answer to everything you need, even if the

answer is no. And praise the answer to everything you need.

And isn't it lovely when it's yes.

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