Forky's Keys: Helping Kids Learn That God Hears You When You Pray · Adventures: Bible Truths in Action

• 0:04
  Father God, I thank You that you are always with me.
• 0:08
  What are you? Who are you talking to?
• 0:11
  Who is always with you? There's no one here except me
• 0:16
  and I just walked in. I'm talking to God, He's always
• 0:21
  with me. Oh, I don't see God.
• 0:25
  You can't see God, but He's right here, right now.
• 0:30
  Huh. I don't know very much, but I do
• 0:34
  know that when you talk to someone who isn't there, they
• 0:37
  can't hear you and people might think you're crazy.
• 0:42
  Not only is God here forkey, he can also hear me.
• 0:47
  That's why I. Pray, pray.
• 0:50
  What is Pray? Prayer is talking to God and
• 0:55
  listening to God. No.
• 0:57
  Well, I don't think you're crazy, Woody.
• 1:01
  I know you're crazy. First you talk to someone who is
• 1:05
  not here, and then you say that you also listen to someone who
• 1:11
  is not here. Forky, maybe I should let you
• 1:14
  learn about prayer from squeakers.
• 1:22
  Hey Squeakers, can I help you with something?
• 1:24
  I have a question about about the Bible.
• 1:28
  I'll try to help you, but why are you whispering?
• 1:31
  It's because I don't want anyone to hear me because they laugh at
• 1:35
  me for not knowing I'm I'm, I'm these kids, they know everything
• 1:40
  about the Bible. They do.
• 1:42
  For sure they do. I mean, they're always reading
• 1:45
  the Bible and praying. A root.
• 1:46
  A root, A worshiping God. Wow, it sounds like they're good
• 1:51
  ground. Ground.
• 1:53
  I'm not talking about dirty feet.
• 1:55
  I'm talking about these teeth. I didn't.
• 1:59
  Never mind. Why do you think you don't know
• 2:01
  anything about the Bible? I can't read very rare and I
• 2:05
  don't understand why I can't. I've been on the 1st grade but
• 2:09
  three times already. Three times, yeah.
• 2:12
  I read yesterday, the day before that and the day before that,
• 2:17
  yeah. Squeaker's first grade lasts a
• 2:19
  whole year. Just keep going and you'll be
• 2:22
  reading in no time. I memorized this first time.
• 2:26
  I think it hurt me but I don't understand it.
• 2:29
  Well, let's hear it if you. Abide in me and and my words.
• 2:33
  Abide in you, you, you, you ask what you desire and I shall go
• 2:38
  for you. John 15-7.
• 2:41
  Oh, that's a good verse. If you abide in me, in my.
• 2:44
  What? What does abide mean?
• 2:47
  Abide means to stay, more to continue.
• 2:50
  Oh, so Serena says if you're a pardon me, that means I should
• 2:55
  stay or continue in Jesus. Yes, we're supposed to continue
• 3:00
  with Jesus being the boss of our lives, doing what His Word
• 3:03
  teaches and not just what we want to do.
• 3:05
  Hearing God's Word helps us pray in faith.
• 3:09
  Yeah, I'm. I'm still a little confused.
• 3:12
  You are, huh? Yes, you know that first, John
• 3:15
  15-7 You abide in me, and my words abide in you.
• 3:19
  You were asked what you desire, and it shall be done for you.
• 3:22
  Well, you know. You know that one.
• 3:24
  Yes, I know that verse John 15, seven If you abide in me and my
• 3:29
  words, abide in you bro. I understand about about you in
• 3:32
  Christ because that makes me consider in him like letting
• 3:36
  Jesus be the best of our lives and our being such word instead
• 3:39
  of just doing everyone OK. You'll learn fast for someone
• 3:42
  that's been in the 1st grade 3 days.
• 3:44
  Thank you. My question though is what?
• 3:48
  What does it mean for Jesus? Virtue about in US?
• 3:52
  Well, it's talking about the Bible, the word of God, and the
• 3:56
  teachings of Jesus, so. We're supposed to let the Word
• 3:59
  of God stay or continue in. US.
• 4:02
  Exactly. That means we spend time
• 4:04
  studying and meditating what it says.
• 4:07
  Meditating is thinking about it, you know, saying it over and
• 4:10
  over again to ourselves. When we do that with a verse in
• 4:13
  the Bible, it helps us listen to the Spirit of God inside of us
• 4:17
  who teaches us what that verse means so we can bear fruit.
• 4:20
  Hearing God's word helps us pray in faith.
• 4:25
  Another question squeakers. Yes, it's about John 15, seven
• 4:30
  or two. If you're about in me and my
• 4:32
  words abiding you, you were asked with your desire, and the
• 4:36
  earth shall be done for you. Do you remember?
• 4:38
  Yes, I remember. Because Sir, as long as I
• 4:41
  continue in Christ, letting him be my past, and I bend His word,
• 4:45
  and I meditate and started God's Word so that I really understand
• 4:49
  it, then I can ask for any of them I want and they will be
• 4:52
  done for me, right? Is that right?
• 4:54
  That's what it says. Sir, Sir, I can ask for
• 4:57
  anything. Yes and no.
• 5:00
  I mean if you abide in Christ and His words abide in you,
• 5:04
  you'll only desire good things according to His will, like
• 5:07
  health and peace, prosperity, strength, boldness, making it to
• 5:12
  2nd grade, stuff like that. Remember, hearing God's Word
• 5:17
  helps us pray in faith. If you're abide in me and my
• 5:20
  words abide in you, you're asked when you desire, and it shall be
• 5:24
  done for you. John 15, seven or till I got it.
• 5:27
  Those keep abundant. So if I Start learning what God
• 5:33
  already said in the Bible, I will know what to pray.
• 5:36
  Wow, Forky, that's right, you're a fast learner.
• 5:42
  Well, it's because Squeakers is a better teacher than you are,
• 5:46
  Woody. I'm trying little buddy.
• 5:50
  Hey, I have an idea that might help you learn more about
• 5:53
  prayer. Here's some keys.
• 5:56
  Oh, keys. What is keys?
• 6:00
  Keys help you unlock things like cars and houses.
• 6:04
  Keys also help you understand truths from God's Word.
• 6:08
  What are these marks on this key?
• 6:10
  Those are letters that spell a word.
• 6:13
  Well, what is the word? Well, I'm glad you asked.
• 6:17
  The word is forgive. Oh, forgive.
• 6:24
  What is forgive? Forgive means you stop being
• 6:27
  angry at someone who made you sad or mad.
• 6:30
  Forgive means you don't hold it against them.
• 6:34
  God Forgives our sins. Jesus said we should forgive
• 6:38
  others before we pray. Wow.
• 6:41
  You lost me, Woody. I don't know what you're talking
• 6:44
  about. I guess it's time to call the
• 6:47
  heavenly plumber. What is Heavenly Plumber?
• 6:52
  Just trust me, the Heavenly plumber can help you understand
• 6:55
  this key called forgive. Let's call him together, oh
• 7:00
  heavenly plumber. God, I've been praying and
• 7:08
  praying and it seems like you don't even hear me.
• 7:11
  Do you? Feel like praying?
• 7:13
  Is a waste of your time. Yes, yes I do.
• 7:16
  Is your prayer line to God clogged with?
• 7:18
  Unforgiveness. Well, I'm a little upset my
• 7:21
  sister Olivia broke my PlayStation.
• 7:24
  I know just what you. Need this?
• 7:26
  Sounds like a job for the heavenly plumber.
• 7:29
  Who heavenly? Plumber I found.
• 7:32
  Another prayer line clogged with unforgiveness.
• 7:36
  Do not worry, all you need is to take the plunger.
• 7:41
  Why are you putting that plunger on my head?
• 7:44
  You're ahead is a clogged with unforgiveness.
• 7:47
  Forgive one another even as a God in the Christ to forgave
• 7:50
  you. Ephesians 4 of 32.
• 7:53
  Did you say forgive one another even as God in Christ forgave
• 7:58
  you? That's a right we should have
• 8:00
  chosen to forgive others because we love a God and want to do the
• 8:04
  things of His. Aware how do you a feeling now?
• 8:08
  Great. I'm not mad at Olivia anymore.
• 8:11
  I choose to forgive her. Thanks.
• 8:14
  Next time I dawn the weather so long, forgive her early and you
• 8:18
  will want to get a clog in your heavenly pipeline.
• 8:21
  Okie, Dokie. Okie dokie, he talks so funny.
• 8:28
  I'm going to kill him. I'm going to kill him.
• 8:31
  Kill who? My dorky brother, he says I
• 8:34
  broke his PlayStation. It was working fine when I had
• 8:38
  it. He probably dropped it or
• 8:40
  something and now mom says I have to pay to get it fixed.
• 8:44
  I'm going to kill him right after it's fixed.
• 8:47
  I'll never borrow anything from him again.
• 8:50
  If you. Kill him.
• 8:51
  He won't be around to borrow. From.
• 8:53
  I mean, kill him, kill him, you know what I mean?
• 8:56
  Why don't you forgive him? I can't.
• 8:59
  You really made me mad this time.
• 9:01
  The anger. Is stuck inside you, huh?
• 9:03
  Yeah. I know.
• 9:05
  Just what you need, heavenly Plumber.
• 9:09
  Do not the worry, all you need is a take of the plunger.
• 9:13
  Hey, what do you think you're doing with the plunger?
• 9:16
  I just brushed my hair. Forgive one another, even as a
• 9:20
  God in the Christ to forgive you.
• 9:23
  Ephesians of 432 did. You say forgive one another even
• 9:27
  as God in Christ forgave you. That's all right, though, we're
• 9:30
  sure to choose it to forgive others because we love a God and
• 9:34
  I want to do with things that His away.
• 9:36
  How do you are feeling now? Great.
• 9:40
  I'm not mad at anymore. I choose to forgive him.
• 9:44
  Thanks. Next time you make a choice to a
• 9:47
  forgive so I won't have it to mess your hair up.
• 9:50
  Okie dokie. Did I just say okie dokie?
• 9:59
  When? Where are you?
• 10:01
  What are you yelling about? I just paid $25.00 to the
• 10:05
  PlayStation repairman so that he could tell me it was unplugged.
• 10:11
  Your PlayStation wasn't broken. It wasn't plugged into the TV.
• 10:16
  You didn't even have enough brains to check if it was
• 10:19
  plugged in. You wouldn't told mom I broke
• 10:22
  it. Well, it's your fault.
• 10:24
  You must have unplugged it. Well, you're not getting a
• 10:26
  birthday present from me because I'm not spending any more money
• 10:30
  on you. I will never forgive you for
• 10:34
  this. I won't forgive you either.
• 10:38
  Heavenly Plumber. This.
• 10:39
  Is an emergency. Oh no, two plungers my hair.
• 10:46
  Forgive one another even as a God in the Christ the forgave of
• 10:49
  you. Ephesians 432 We should have
• 10:53
  chosen to forgive others because we are love of God and want to
• 10:57
  do the things that he's away. How do you do a feeling now?
• 11:02
  I'm sorry for unplugging your PlayStation, Owen.
• 11:05
  I'm sorry for not trucking to see if it was plugged in.
• 11:08
  Will you forgive me? Okey dokey.
• 11:12
  Owen, Olivia, I made chocolate. Chip.
• 11:15
  Cookies. Come and get some what's.
• 11:21
  The matter with you? Why are you plunging your own
• 11:23
  head? I'm a facet.
• 11:26
  They didn't even thank me. Uh oh.
• 11:28
  It looks like our plumber. Needs a plumber?
• 11:36
  OK, I forgive you. Woody.
• 11:41
  But I'm not going to forget what you did.
• 11:46
  That's not how forgive works. You need to let it go.
• 11:51
  God doesn't remember our sins. I'm just kidding.
• 11:59
  That was a joke. You didn't do anything.
• 12:06
  There's more keys on that ring. What more keys for
• 12:11
  understanding? Pray that's awesome.
• 12:18
  What does this one say? This one says willing.
• 12:23
  Oh, I know Willie. He's.
• 12:26
  Not Willie willing. Willing.
• 12:31
  Why didn't you say so? Who is willing?
• 12:34
  Not who? What is willing?
• 12:37
  The word willing means want to. When people asked Jesus to heal
• 12:41
  them, they said Jesus, I know you can heal me, but I don't
• 12:46
  know if you want to heal me. Jesus answered them by saying I
• 12:51
  want to heal you. Be healed.
• 12:55
  So you're saying that a key that unlocks answered pray is to know
• 13:03
  that God is willing? Yes, God is a good father.
• 13:09
  He loves us and wants to bless us.
• 13:12
  You sure learn fast, forky boy. These are the best doughnuts.
• 13:25
  Dad, where did you get that doughnut?
• 13:28
  I bought it at the doughnut shop.
• 13:29
  It's delicious. Could I have a bite?
• 13:33
  You want. Me to give you a bite of my
• 13:36
  doughnut. Pretty please.
• 13:39
  Take a bite out of this rock. I don't like rocks, I like
• 13:43
  doughnuts. Just kidding, Avi.
• 13:46
  Of course you can have a bite. In fact, you can have a whole
• 13:51
  doughnut. If I will give you good things,
• 13:55
  how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to
• 13:59
  those who ask Him? Luke 1113.
• 14:02
  Can you say that, Avi? How much more?
• 14:06
  Call the Heavenly Father of the Holy Spirit to those who ask
• 14:12
  you. Luke, 1113.
• 14:21
  Boy, this tuna sandwich is just what I needed.
• 14:26
  Dad, where did you get that tuna sandwich?
• 14:29
  Your mom made it for me. It's delicious.
• 14:33
  Could I have a bite? You want me to give you a bite
• 14:38
  of my tuna sandwich? Pretty please.
• 14:42
  Take a bite out of this snake. Are.
• 14:45
  You being serious? It's a rubber snake.
• 14:49
  I know I wanted to use a real snake, but your mom wouldn't
• 14:53
  play along. How about I give you your own
• 14:57
  tuna sandwich? Mom made one for you too.
• 14:59
  OK. If your mom and I want to give
• 15:02
  you good things, how much more will your heavenly Father give
• 15:06
  the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him?
• 15:09
  Luke 1113. Can you say that, Avi?
• 15:14
  How much more Father the Heavenly Father of the Holy
• 15:17
  Spirit to those who must be. Luke, 1113.
• 15:28
  Yeah, boy. This egg burrito is delicious.
• 15:32
  Dad, is that an egg burrito? Yeah, it's from the Burrito
• 15:37
  Bandito. I love their burritos.
• 15:40
  Could I have a bite? You want me to give you a bite
• 15:44
  of my egg burrito? Pretty please.
• 15:48
  Take a bite. Out of this.
• 15:49
  Spider. OK, this is getting creepy.
• 15:53
  Why do you keep doing that? I'm just trying to make a point,
• 15:57
  Avi. You know I love you and want to
• 15:59
  give you good things, don't you? Of course I do.
• 16:02
  Well, God loves you even more, and He wants you to be filled
• 16:06
  with His Holy Spirit because He is that good.
• 16:09
  That's why Luke 1113 says, how much more will your heavenly
• 16:13
  Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?
• 16:16
  Can you say that, Avi? I love you.
• 16:19
  Give me an egg burrito. You did buy me one, didn't you?
• 16:23
  Yes, here you go. Now say the verse.
• 16:29
  How much more for the Heavenly Father of the Holy Spirit to
• 16:35
  those who ask you. Luke, 1113.
• 16:41
  There's one more key, four key. What does?
• 16:45
  This one say. What does this one say?
• 16:47
  This one says Jesus. Oh.
• 16:52
  What is Jesus? Who is Jesus?
• 16:56
  I don't know. It's your key.
• 16:59
  Jesus is God's son. God always answers Jesus
• 17:03
  prayers. So why doesn't Jesus pray?
• 17:08
  He does, but He wants you to enjoy praying too.
• 17:12
  And Jesus made it easy for you to get your prayers answered.
• 17:19
  How? Jesus said that you could pray
• 17:22
  in his name, like use his name and it would be the same as if
• 17:27
  Jesus prayed himself. God answers Jesus prayers.
• 17:32
  Well, that doesn't sound fair, but why would Jesus do that?
• 17:36
  So God can answer your prayers you.
• 17:39
  Are blowing my itty bitty brain woody.
• 17:43
  Just listen to our next story. Jesus, are you here?
• 17:54
  Jesus, I need your help again of.
• 17:57
  Course I'm here, Dorothy. I'm with you.
• 17:59
  Always remember. You mean I didn't have to come
• 18:04
  all the way back to your throne room?
• 18:06
  My throne room is wherever you are, all you have to do is pray.
• 18:10
  You made me. Walk all the way from.
• 18:13
  Kansas when we. Could have.
• 18:14
  Done this there. I'm sorry Auntie Anne, I forgot
• 18:18
  about that part. Jesus, I need your help again.
• 18:22
  My uncle Henry needs a job. He had to sell the farm and he
• 18:25
  hasn't been able to work since. And Auntie Em, she's real sick.
• 18:30
  The doctors think she has cancer and Toto ran away and I haven't
• 18:34
  been able to find him anywhere. I'm worried that Ole Miss Gulch
• 18:37
  has him and won't give him back. What do you want me to do?
• 18:42
  See Dorothy. Not even Jesus can help us.
• 18:45
  I wanted to get. You a present, but we're all.
• 18:48
  Out of money and I'm. Too old to get a.
• 18:49
  Job. I don't need a present.

• 18:58
  Misses her dog. Henry I'd buy.

• 19:03
  Already said we're. Out of money.
• 19:06
  I know we're out of money. I'm not dumb, I'm just sick.
• 19:12
  Please don't fight. Oh Jesus, I need your help to
• 19:16
  help those in need. Dorothy, you can help those in
• 19:19
  need anytime. You have my name, Dorothy.
• 19:22
  Use it like you did when you helped Lion and Tin Men and
• 19:25
  Scarecrow. Oh, that's right, how could I
• 19:29
  forget? When I pray in your name, it's
• 19:32
  as though you are right there praying with me.
• 19:35
  I pray for Uncle Henry and I declare that everything he sets
• 19:40
  his hands to do will prosper in Jesus name.
• 19:44
  I just had an. Idea I know how to make some
• 19:46
  money quick. We have to.
• 19:48
  Get back to. Kansas, settle down a minute,
• 19:50
  Henry. Let her pray.
• 19:52
  For me first. Will ya?
• 19:53
  I speak to the cancer that has attacked Auntie M's body.
• 19:57
  I command it to be removed in Jesus name.
• 20:01
  Thank you, Jesus. Well, come on, let's get.
• 20:04
  Going. Why don't you pray for Toto
• 20:06
  Dorsey? Help me find Toto and get him
• 20:09
  back safe and sound in Jesus name.
• 20:13
  Amen. Amen.
• 20:14
  I'm going to go home and bake a batch of chocolate chip cookies
• 20:18
  to take to Miss Gulch. And I'm going to apologize,
• 20:21
  really apologize, for all the problems Toto has caused her
• 20:24
  over the years. You mean she really does have
• 20:27
  Toto? I don't really know, but it
• 20:29
  doesn't matter. I'll find him.
• 20:31
  I think it's a good idea, Dorothy.
• 20:34
  Miss Gulch doesn't have many friends.
• 20:36
  And if she does have Toto? I'm sure she'll want to give him
• 20:39
  back. After a batch of your cookies.
• 20:41
  Come on. Let's go.
• 20:42
  Home. There's no place like home.
• 20:45
  Thank you Jesus. Oh so.
• 20:51
  That is, pray. Well, I want to pray.
• 20:56
  Oh no, Forky, I forgot the most important key.
• 21:02
  Another key. Woody, this one doesn't need
• 21:06
  another story. This one is a prayer.
• 21:10
  Forky, you need to be born again.
• 21:13
  That will make you God's son like Jesus.
• 21:15
  What are you? Waiting for.
• 21:18
  Let's get to it. Teach me how to pray to be God's
• 21:22
  Son. OK, you pray what I pray,
• 21:25
  Father. Godfather God.
• 21:27
  I believe Jesus is your son. I believe Jesus is your son.
