  Speaker 1: If you could sit across from Jesus right now and
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: ask him just one thing, what would it be? Would
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: you ask for healing, a miracle, clarity about your future.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: The disciples who walked with Jesus, saw his miracles and
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: heard his teaching's first hand, could have asked him anything,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: and yet out of everything they witnessed, they asked for
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: one thing, Lord teach Us to pray. Think about that.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: They saw Jesus walk on water, command storms to be still,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: multiply food out of nothing, and raise the dead. But
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: they didn't ask Lord teach Us how to perform miracles.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: They didn't say, Lord, teach Us, how to preach like you.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: They understood that the power behind everything Jesus did was
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: found in his prayer life. They realized that if they
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: could learn to pray like Jesus, they could live like Jesus. Now,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: let's be honest. How many of us pray every day
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: but don't feel like we're truly connecting with God. How
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: many times have you prayed and felt like you were
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: just talking to the ceiling, Or maybe you struggle with consistency.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: You prayed for a few days, but then life gets
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: busy and before you know it prayer becomes an afterthought.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: You're not alone. So many believers know that prayer is important,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: but few have ever been taught how to pray the
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: way Jesus did. And that's exactly why we made this video.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: In this video, we're not just going to talk about
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: what Jesus prayed. We're going to dive deep into where
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: he prayed, when he prayed, how he prayed, and most importantly,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: why he prayed. Because if Jesus, the Son of God
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: fully divine, needed to pray, how much more do we
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: This isn't just about learning facts. This is about transformation.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: If you've ever wondered why your prayers feel empty or ineffective,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: if you've ever struggled to stay consistent, or if you've
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: ever wanted a deeper connection with God, this is for
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: you to day we learn from the Master himself before
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: we begin. Don't forget to like this video. It helps
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: spread God's message to more people. If you're new here, welcome.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: We've created in depth explanation videos on every book of
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: the Bible to help you go deeper in your faith
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: and grow in your walk with God. Our goal is
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: simple to make the Word of God come alive. For you,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: and we've taken some of our most powerful teachings and
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: turn them into e books so you can study at
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: your own pace. Check the description below to grab yours.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: And now a question for you, what is your biggest
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: struggle when it comes to prayer? Is it consistency, feeling
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: distant from God, not knowing what to say? Drop it
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: in the comments. We read every single one, and we'd
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: love to pray for you. With that being said, let's
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: get started. If there's one thing that stands out from
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: jesus life, it's that he never lived disconnected from the Father.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: His miracles, his wisdom, his ability to love and forgive,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: it all flowed from his time in prayer. Prayer wasn't
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: just something he did, it was who he was. But
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: here's the problem. Many people believe in prayer, but they
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: don't actually pray. They know it's important, but it's not urgent.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: They push it aside, thinking I'll get to it later,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: But later never comes, and then life hits stress, anxiety, decisions, temptations,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: spiritual battles, and suddenly they're desperate for God's help, but
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: they don't know how to connect with him. This is
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: why why Jesus prayed constantly. He wasn't waiting for a crisis.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: He was always plugged in. Prayer was his source of
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: power before the battle ever came. Think about it. Have
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: you ever gone through a day so busy, so overwhelming,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: so exhausting, and by the end of it you realized
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: I never prayed to day. Maybe you started your morning
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: scrolling through your phone instead of seeking God. Maybe you
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: got caught up in work distractions or just trying to
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: survive the day, and by the time you remembered to pray,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: you were too tired. Sound familiar, But Jesus never let
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: that happen. He didn't wait until he was drained. He
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: stayed filled before he poured into others. He let the
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Father pour into him. Luke six twelve tells us one day,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: soon afterward, Jesus went up on a mountain to pray,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: and he prayed to God all night, all night. Can
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: you imagine Most of us struggled with five minutes, But Jesus,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: the Son of God, spent entire nights in prayer, not
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: because he had to, but because he couldn't afford not to.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: And this wasn't just a one time thing. It was
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: his lifestyle before choosing his disciples prayer before facing the
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: cross prayer, before healing the sick prayer, before preaching to
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: the crowd's prayer. Do you see the pattern? Jesus never
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: moved without prayer. Now, let's talk about us. How often
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: do we move without praying? How often do we make decisions,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: send texts, post things, have conversations without ever seeking God first?
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: How often do we say God, why do I feel
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: so distant? But we've spent the whole day ignoring him?
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: If we're honest, most of us are spiritually running on
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: empty We're trying to handle life without the fuel of prayer,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: and just like a car running out of gas, we
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: break down, We get overwhelmed, we lose direction, we feel weak.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: But Jesus never ran out of fuel. Why because he
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: stayed connected. This is where everything changes. Prayer isn't about
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: checking a box, It's about staying connected to your source.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Imagine your phone. It's your lifeline to everything, calls, messages, maps, work,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: even entertainment. But what happens when your battery dies. It
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: doesn't matter how advanced your phone is. If it's dead,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: it's useless. That's what happens when we live without prayer.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: We are designed to be connected to God, and when
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: we unplug, we lose power, we lose clarity, we lose peace.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: But Jesus never lost connection. That's why he could heal
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: the sick, cast out demons, face the cross, and still say, Father,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: into your hands, I commit my spirit Luke twenty three,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: forty five. He never doubted, never panicked, never lost focus
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: because he was always in prayer. So here's the question,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: are you connected or are you running on empty? If Jesus,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: the Son of God needed constant prayer, how much more
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: do we If he made time to withdraw and pray,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: what excuse do we have? Let this be your wake
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: up call. Make prayer non negotiable, not just when you
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: need something, not just when you feel like it, every
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: day before anything else. Because the same power, the same peace,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: the same connection that Jesus had, is available to you,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: but you have to plug in. If there's one thing
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: we've learned from Jesus so far, it's this prayer wasn't
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: just something he did, It was who he was. He
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: didn't just pray when it was convenient. He didn't just
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: pray when things got tough. He lived in prayer. And
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: if Jesus, the son of God, needed that deep, constant
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: connection with the Father. How much more do we. But
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: here's the question, what did Jesus actually pray for? Because
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: it's one thing to know that he prayed often, it's
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: another thing to look at how he prayed, What did
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: he talk to God about, what was on his heart?
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: And more importantly, what does that teach us about how
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: we should pray. One of the most powerful things about
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: jesus prayers is that they weren't just about him. They
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: were about us. Think about that for a second. Jesus,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: the king of kings, the one who had the power
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: to command angels, the one who held the entire universe
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: in his hands, he prayed for you. In John seventeen
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: we see one of the most intimate prayers Jesus ever prayed.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: It was right before he was arrested, right before he
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: went to the cross. And what was he doing Praying
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: for his disciples, praying for future believers, praying for you.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: for those who will believe in me through their message,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: John seventeen twenty. Jesus wasn't just praying for the people
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: in front of him. He was praying for everyone who
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: would come to faith, including you and me. And what
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: did he pray for? Unity? Protection, strength, that we would
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: be one with God, just as he was one with
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: the Father. Let that sink in. In his final moments,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: before facing the most excruciating suffering, before carrying the weight
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: of the world's sin, before being betrayed, beaten, and crucified,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Jesus wasn't focused on himself. He was focused on you.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: And that's what makes his prayers so powerful because they
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: weren't selfish. They were selfless. And if we're honest, that's
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: where most of us struggle when we pray. How much
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: of our focus is on us knees reads, our struggles,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: our desires. There's nothing wrong with bringing our request to God.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: Jesus did that too, But look at the pattern of
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: his prayers. He prayed for others, even when he was
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: in pain. He prayed for God's will, even when it
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: was hard. He prayed for strength, not just for himself,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: but for those who followed him. And that brings us
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: to one of the most intense moments of prayer in
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: all of scripture, deathsemone. This was the night before the Cross,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: the night when Jesus felt the full weight of what
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: was coming the night when he fell to the ground,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: sweating blood, crying out to the Father Father, if you
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: are willing take this cup from me, Yet, not my will,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: but yours be done, Luke twenty two forty two. Can
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: we just pause right there, because this is a moment
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: we can't rush past. Jesus, the one who healed the sick,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: raised the dead, calm the storm, walked on water. He
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: was in agony, the weight of the cross, the pain
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: of what was coming. It was overwhelming, and yet he
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: still surrendered, not my will, but yours be done. That's
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: the kind of prayer that changes everything. And if we're
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: being real, that's the kind of prayer that's the hardest
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: to pray, because surrender is hard. Trusting God when things
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: don't make sense is hard. Saying Lord, I don't like this,
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: I don't want this, but I trust you anyway. That's hard.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: But that's exactly what Jesus showed us. Prayer isn't just
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: about getting what we want. It's about aligning ourselves with
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: God's will, even when it's painful. And here's the powerful part.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: After Jesus prayed, after he surrendered, He stood up and
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: walked straight into his purpose. He didn't run, he didn't fight,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: He embraced what was coming. Why Because prayer gave him strength.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: And if it did that for Jesus, it can do
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: that for you too. So let's bring this home. How
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: should this change the way you pray? Shift the focus.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Jesus prayed for others who you're praying for, surrender the outcome.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Jesus didn't demand his way, He trusted God's way. Are
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: you willing to do the same? Find strength in prayer?
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: Jesus left Gethsemone stronger than he entered it. Are you
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: allowing prayer to strengthen you or are you only using
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: it as a last resort. The way Jesus prayed wasn't
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: just powerful, it was transformational. It didn't just change circumstances.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: It changed him and if we truly follow his example,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: it will change us too. If there's one thing we've
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: learned from jesus prayer life so far, it's that prayer
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: wasn't just a habit. It was the foundation of everything
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: he did. It wasn't an afterthought. It wasn't something he
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: squeezed in when he had time. It was his first move,
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: his highest priority, his direct connection to the Father. And
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: nowhere is that clearer than when Jesus was faced with
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: a major decision. How do most people make decisions. We analyze,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: we weigh the pros and cons, we google, we stress,
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: we ask friends for advice, and then when all else fails,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: we throw up a last minute prayer and hope for
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: the best. But Jesus, he did the exact opposite before
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: making one of the biggest decisions of his ministry, choosing
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: the twelve disciples. Jesus didn't brainstorm, He didn't strategize, he
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: didn't form a hiring committee. He prayed all night. One
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: of those days, Jesus went out to a mountainside to
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: pray and spent the night praying to God. When morning came,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: he called his disciples to him and chose twelve of them,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: whom he also designated Apostles Luke six twelve to thirteen.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: Can we just pause for a second, because this is huge. Jesus,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: the Son of God, the Word made flesh, the one
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: who already knew people's hearts, still took an entire night
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: to pray before making a decision. Why Because even though
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: he was fully God, he was also fully man, and
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: he showed us by example how a real man of
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: God makes decisions not by rushing, not by guessing, but
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: by seeking the Father's will first. Now, let's be real.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Most of us don't spend an entire night praying before
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: making a decision. Some of us barely spend five minutes,
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: and yet we wonder why we keep making the wrong choices.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Think about it. How many times have you made a
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: decision without praying first and then regretted it later. That
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: job you took because it felt right but ended up
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: draining you. That relationship you jumped into without asking God first,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: and now you're stuck in confusion. That investment, that move,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: that commitment, all the things you thought would be great
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: but later realized you never actually prayed about. That's the
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: mistake so many people make to day. We move first,
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: we pray later. But Jesus shows us that prayer isn't
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: just about getting God's blessing on our plans. It's about
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: aligning our hearts with his plan. Because let's be honest,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: what if Jesus had picked disciples based on what made
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: sense logically, If he had gone by the world's standards,
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: he would have picked the most educated, the most powerful,
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: the most religious. He would have chosen the Pharisees, the
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: high priests, the scholars. Instead, after spending a whole night
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: in prayer, he chose fisherman, a tax collector, a zealot,
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: a group of nobodies. Why. Because God's way is higher
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: than ours, his wisdom is deeper than ours, and what
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: seems foolish to the world is often exactly what he
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: wants to use for My thoughts are not your thoughts,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord Isaiah
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: fifty five colonate. That's why Jesus prayed to make sure
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: he wasn't making decisions based on human reasoning, but on
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: divine revelation. And if Jesus, the Son of God, refuse
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: to make big decisions without first seeking the Father, how
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: much more do we need to do the same. But
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: here's where it gets real. How often do we treat
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: prayer as a back up plan instead of our first move?
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: We date first, we ask God later, we sign the
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: contract first, we pray after we move to a new city. First,
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: we hope it works out, and then when things go wrong,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: we cry out, God, why didn't you stop me? But
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: The truth is he never told to go in the
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: first place. We just never asked. That's why Jesus example
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: is so powerful. He didn't just pray when he was
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: in trouble. He prayed before he made a move. And
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: that's what we need to start doing. So let me
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: ask you, what's the big decision in your life right now.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: Maybe it's a relationship, a career move, a major transition.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: Have you prayed about it, really prayed, not just to
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: quick God, let this work out, but a real deep, God,
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: show me your will, even if it's not what I want.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: Because here's the truth. If you don't have time to
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: pray about it, you don't have time to do it.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: Jesus spent an entire night in prayer before choosing the disciples,
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: an entire night, and we struggled to pray for five
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: minutes before making life altering choices. Maybe that's why we
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: keep making decisions that lead to regret. But here's the
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: good news. You don't have to keep doing it that way.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: From this moment forward. Let prayer be your first response,
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: not your last resort, because when you do, you'll stop
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: chasing things that aren't from God. You'll stop walking into
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: situations that drain you. You'll stop wasting time on things
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: that were never part of his plan, and instead you'll
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: start moving with divine clarity, with purpose, with peace, because
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: you won't just be following your own desires, You'll be
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: following his voice. If there's one thing we can learn
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: from jesus prayer life, it's this prayer is not about
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: empty words. It's about relationship. Jesus didn't pray out of obligation.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: He didn't pray because it was part of a religious checklist.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: He prayed because he needed to, because he longed for
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: that connection with the Father, and because he knew prayer
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: is where battles are won. But here's something we often miss.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: Jesus didn't just pray for himself, prayed for others. Constantly.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Think about this. If any one could have been self sufficient,
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: it was Jesus. He was fully God, walking in divine authority,
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: healing the sick, casting out demons, raising the dead. Yet
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: over and over again, he interceded. He stood in the
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: gap for those who couldn't stand for themselves. He prayed
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: for his disciples, He prayed for the lost, And this
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: is where it gets really personal. He prayed for you
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: let that sink in. Before you ever prayed for yourself,
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: Jesus had already prayed for you. Look at this moment
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: in John seventeen, the longest recorded prayer of Jesus in
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: the Bible. It's the night before his crucifixion, his final
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: hours before suffering. And what is he doing praying for you?
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: for those who will believe in me through their message
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: John seventeen twenty. That means before you were even born,
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: Jesus was thinking about you, before you ever whispered your
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: first prayer. Jesus was lifting you up before the Father,
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: before you ever needed grace. Jesus was asking God to
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: cover you in it. He wasn't just praying for his disciples.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: He was praying for every believer that would come after them,
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: That includes you, that includes me. But what exactly was
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: Jesus praying for? That you would be strengthened, that you
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: would be protected, that you would be united with other believers,
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: and that you would know the depths of God's love. Father,
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: I want those you have given me to be with
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: me where I am and to see my glory. John
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: seventeen twenty four. Jesus greatest desire that you would be
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: with him, that nothing would separate you from him. But
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: here's the part that changes everything. If Jesus prayed for us,
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: what does that mean for how we should pray? It
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: means we are called to pray for others with the
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: same intensity that Jesus prayed for us. Too often our
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: prayers are self focused. God help me, God bless me,
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: God open doors for me. And yes, there is absolutely
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: a place for personal prayers. But if Jesus, our ultimate example,
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: spends so much time interceding for others, shouldn't we Let
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: me ask you, when was the last time you prayed
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: for someone with the same passion you pray for yourself.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: Because here's the truth. Some people in your life will
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: never pray for themselves. Some people don't know how, some
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: are too broken to even try. And that's where you
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: come in. Just like Jesus stood in the gap for us,
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: we are called to stand in the gap for others.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: That friend who is struggling, pray for them. That family
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: member who has drifted from God. God pray for them.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: That co worker who seems lost and broken, pray for them.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: That leader who is carrying a heavy burden, pray for them.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: Prayer isn't just about you, It's about lifting up the
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: people around you. This is why James five sixteen tells
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: us pray for each other so that you may be healed.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: There is power when we intercede, when we bring the
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: needs of others before God. And let me tell you something.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: Your prayers are making a bigger impact than you realize.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: That prayer you prayed for a struggling friend, it strengthened
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: them more than you know. That prayer you whispered for
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: someone's salvation. It might be the reason their heart begins
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: to soften toward God. That prayer you lifted up for
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: your church, It could be the reason chains start breaking
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: in people's lives. We don't always see the results of
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: our prayers immediately, but that doesn't mean they aren't moving
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: heaven and earth. Jesus didn't just pray for himself. He
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: stood in the gap for others, and now he invites
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: us to do the same. So let's do something right now.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: Take a moment. Think of one person in your life
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: who needs prayer, someone who is struggling, someone who needs
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: a breakthrough. Now, don't just think about them, pray for them,
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: lift them up, call on God to move in their life.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: Because the same way Jesus prayed for you, you are
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: now called to pray for others. And if you're thinking
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: but I don't always know what to pray, don't worry.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: Romans eight twenty six gives us an incredible promise. The
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: intercedes for us through wordless groans. Even when you don't
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: have the words God does. Even when you don't know
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: exactly what someone needs, the Holy Spirit knows your prayers
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: matter more than you realize. Because prayer is not just communication,
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: it's warfare. It's standing in the gap for someone who
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: doesn't even realize they need it. And let me tell you,
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: someone somewhere is alive to day because somebody prayed for them.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: Maybe it was a praying grandmother crying out for their
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: wayward grandson. Maybe it was a mother on her knees
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: interceding for her child. Maybe it was a friend who
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: refused to stop praying even when everything looked hopeless. Jesus
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: prayed for you before you even knew you needed it.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: Now it's your turn. Who you willing to pray for
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: to day? Because the most christ Like thing you can do,
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: more than preaching, more than singing, more than anything else,
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: is simply this pray like Jesus. If there's one thing
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: we can learn from jesus prayer life, it's this prayer
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: is not just about it's about standing in the gap
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: for others. Jesus didn't just pray for himself. He prayed
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: for his disciples. He prayed for the lost. He even
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: prayed for his enemies. And here's something that might shock you.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: He prayed for you too, before you ever whispered a
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: single prayer, before you even knew you needed grace. Jesus
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: was already lifting you up before the father. Think about that.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: In Luke twenty two thirty one to thirty two, Jesus
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: turns to Peter, the boldest, most outspoken disciple, and says
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: something unexpected, Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift you
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: as wheat. But I have prayed for you, Simon, that
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: your faith may not fail. Did you catch that Jesus
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: knew Peter was about to fall? He knew Peter would
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: deny him. He knew Peter's faith would be shaken, but
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: instead of condemning him, Jesus prayed for him. Let that
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: sink in. Jesus knew Peter was about to fail, but
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: he prayed for his restoration before the failure even happened.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: And the reason Peter didn't stay in his failure, the
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: reason he was able to come back stronger, was because
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: Jesus had already interceded for him. Now, think about this.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: What if someone's breakthrough is on the other side of
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: your prayer. What if your prayers could be the reason
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: a lost friend finds their way back to God. What
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: if your intercession is the covering that strengthens a struggling believer.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: What if your prayer is the one thing standing between
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: someone and a life altering decision. That's the power of intercession.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: And Jesus didn't just do this for Peter. One of
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: the most profound moments in scripture is found in John
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: the seventeen, where Jesus prays the longest recorded prayer in
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: the Bible. And do you know what he was praying
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: for you? My prayer is not for them alone. I
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: pray also for those who will believe in me through
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: their message. John seventeen twenty. Jesus, in his final hours
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: before the cross, was thinking about you. Before you were born,
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: before you ever thought to pray for yourself. Jesus was
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: already praying for you. And what was he praying for?
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: That you would be strengthened, That you would be protected,
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: that you would be united with other believers, that you
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: would know the depths of God's love. This isn't just
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: a feel good idea. This is the heart of Jesus.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: He was always interceding, always standing in the gap, always
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: lifting others before the Father. Even when he was on
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: the cross in excruciating pain, humiliated, mocked, and betrayed, he
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: was still praying for others. Father, forgive them, for they
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: do not know what they are doing. Luke twenty three
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: thirty four. Imagine that Jesus hanging on a cross with
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: nails in his hands and feet, struggling to breathe, and
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: his concern is still for the people who put him there.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: Let me ask you, when was the last time you
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: prayed for someone who hurt you? Because here's the truth.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: Some people in your life will never pray for themselves.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: Some people don't know how. Some are too broken to
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: even try. And that's where you come in. Just like
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: Jesus stood in the gap for us, we are called
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: to stand in the gap for others. That friend who
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: is struggling, Pray for them. That family member who has
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: drifted from God, pray for them. That co worker who
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: seems lost and broken, pray for them. That leader who
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: is carrying a heavy burden, pray for them. Prayer isn't
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: just about you. It's about lifting up the people around you.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: And let me tell you something. Your prayers are making
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: a bigger impact than you realize. That prayer you prayed
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: for a struggling friend, it strengthened them more than you know.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: That prayer you whispered for someone's salvation. It might be
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: the reason their heart begins to soften toward God. That
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: prayer you lifted up for your church, it could be
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: the reason chains start breaking in people's lives. We don't
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: always see the results of our prayers immediately, but that
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean they aren't moving heaven and earth. Jesus didn't
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: just pray for himself. He stood in the gap for others,
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: and now he invites us to do the same. So
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: let's do something right. Now, take a moment. Think of
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: one person in your life who needs prayer, someone who
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: is struggling, someone who needs a breakthrough. Now, don't just
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: think about them, Pray for them, lift them up, call
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: on God to move in their life. Because the same
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: way Jesus prayed for you, you are now called to
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: pray for others. And if you're thinking but I don't
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: always know what to pray, don't worry. Romans eight twenty
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: six gives us an incredible promise, and the Spirit helps
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: us in our weakness. We do not know what we
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: us through wordless groans. Even when you don't have the
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: words God does. Even when you don't know exactly what
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: someone needs, the Holy Spirit knows your prayers matter more
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: than you realize, because prayer is not just communication, it's warfare.
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: It's standing in the gap for someone who doesn't even
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: realize they need it. And let me tell you, someone
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: somewhere is alive to day because somebody prayed for them.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: Maybe it was a praying grandmother crying out for their
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: wayward grandson. Maybe it was a mother on her knees,
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: interceding for her child. Maybe it was a friend who
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: refused to stop praying even when everything looked hopeless. Jesus
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: prayed for you before you even knew you needed it.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: Now it's your turn, who you willing to pray for
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: to day? Because the most christ Like thing you can do,
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: more than preaching, more than singing, more than anything else,
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: is simply this pray. Like Jesus, when life is good,
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: prayer feels natural. When things are falling apart, prayer feels impossible.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: Yet the most important moments in jesus life, his greatest battles,
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: his deepest pains, his darkest hours, were all marked by prayer.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: If there's one thing we learn from Jesus, it's that
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: prayer isn't just for the easy days. It's for the storms,
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: the suffering, and the moments when everything feels like it's crumbling.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: Hanging on the cross in unbearable agony, Jesus uttered some
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: of his final words, Father, into your hands, I commit
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: my spirit Luke twenty three, forty six. Think about that. Jesus, beaten, humiliated, abandoned,
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: still prayed, and not just any prayer, a prayer of trust,
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: a prayer of surrender, a prayer that said, even now,
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: in this pain, in this moment where I see no relief,
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: I put everything in your hands. What do you do
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: when life breaks you, when the diagnosis is worse than
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: you expected, when the relationship falls apart, when your plans
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: collapse and you're left standing in the wreckage? Do you pray?
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: Or do you pull away from God? Because here's the truth.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: Your crisis will either push you into God's arms or
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: away from them. And Jesus showed us which choice to make.
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: In Gathsemone, the night before his crucifixion, he prayed so
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: intensely that he sweat drops of blood. He was in anguish,
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: knowing what was coming. He didn't ignore the pain, he
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: didn't pretend to be strong. He fell to his knees
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: and prayed, Father, if you are willing take this cup
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: from me, yet not my will, but yours be done
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: Luke twenty two forty two. Jesus didn't just pray through
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: the crisis. He prayed before the crisis. Let that sink in.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: Most of us wait until the storm hits before we
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: start praying. But Jesus prayed before the storm came, before
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: the arrest, before the betrayal, before the nails. He was
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: already on his knees. How many of us only pray
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: when we're desperate, when the pain is unbearable, when the
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: anxiety is overwhelming, when we have no other options. But
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: what if we prayed before the storm came. Jesus knew
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: what was coming, and he still chose to pray, because
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: prayer doesn't just get you through the crisis, it prepares
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: you for it. Think about this, when the storm hits,
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: do you want to be scrambling to build a foundation
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: or do you want to already be standing on one.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: Jesus prayed before the storm, in the storm, through the storm,
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: and his final words on the cross tell us everything
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: we need to know about how to handle suffering. Father,
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: into your hands. I commit my spirit when life is
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: breaking you, when the weight is too much, when you
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: feel like you can't go another step. What if your
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: first response was to put it in the Father's hands,
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: not in the hands of your own understanding, not in
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: the hands of your emotions, not in the hands of
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: the world's opinions, but in the hands of the only
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: one who can carry it. Jesus didn't just teach us
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: how to pray when things are good. He showed us
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: how to pray when things are unbearable. And here's the thing,
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: Jesus suffering had a purpose. At the moment, the cross
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: looked like defeat, it looked like loss, It looked like
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: the end. But three days later everything changed. Your suffering
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: is not the end of your s That storm, that loss,
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: that battle, it's not final. And the same way jesus
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: suffering led to resurrection. God is working through your pain
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: in ways you cannot see yet. But here's the key.
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: You have to pray through it. So let me ask you.
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: Are you going through a storm right now? Are you
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: carrying something too heavy for you? Are you struggling to
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: pray because the pain is so deep? You are not alone.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: Jesus has been where you are, and his example shows
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: us exactly what to do. Pray anyway, even if you
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: don't have the words, even if all you can do
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: is whisper God help me, even if your prayer is
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: just tears running down your face, Pray anyway, because here's
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: the truth. There is no storm too big for God
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: to handle. And maybe to day your prayer needs to
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: be the same one Jesus prayed in his darkest moment, Father,
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: into your hands. I commit this situation into your your hands.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: I commit this pain into your hands. I commit my future.
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: Because if the hands of the Father were strong enough
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: to bring Jesus through death itself, then they are strong
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: enough to carry you through this storm. So don't let
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: the crisis silence your prayers. Let it drive you deeper
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: into them. If the last lesson showed us anything, it's
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: the prayer isn't just about getting through life's hardest moments,
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: it's about preparing for them before they even come. Jesus
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: showed us this by his example, but he didn't stop there.
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: He went a step further. He actually taught us how
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: to pray. Think about it. Jesus's disciples could have asked
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: him anything, teach us how to perform miracles, teach us
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: how to preach like you, teach us how to cast
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: out demons, but they didn't. Instead, they asked one thing, Lord,
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: teach us to pray Luke eleven one Why because they
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: saw something in jesus prayer life that was different, something powerful,
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: something they knew they needed. And Jesus answered with what
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: we now call the Lord's prayer, a prayer so well
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: known that even people who don't believe in God can
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: recite it. But here's the problem. Most people pray this
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: prayer without ever realizing its power. It wasn't meant to
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: be a script to repeat without thinking. It was meant
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: to be a blueprint, a divine structure that unlocks the
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: power of true prayer. And when we break it down,
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: we realize Jesus gave us a step by step guide
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: to praying in a way that actually connects us with God,
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: our Father in heaven. Hallowed be your name. Jesus starts
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: with worship, acknowledging who God is. Notice he doesn't start
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: with requests, he doesn't start with problems. He starts with
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: relationship our Father, not just distant deity, not just an
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: untouchable force. Father. When you pray, do you approach God
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: like that? Do you come to him like a son
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: coming to his loving father, or like a servant trying
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: to please a harsh master? And then, halloaed be your name.
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: Jesus is reminding us that prayer isn't about us, It's
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: about him. It's about shifting our focus from our worries,
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: our desires, our needs to the greatness of God, your Kingdom. Come.
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: This is surrender before we ever ask for anything. Jesus
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: tells us to align ourselves with God's will. How many
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: of us pray backwards, starting with our list of things
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: we want before even asking God what he wants. But
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: real prayer isn't about convincing God to do what we want.
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: It's about aligning ourselves with what He is already doing.
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: Give us this day our daily bread. Only we see
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: the first request. But notice what Jesus says, daily bread,
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: not weekly, not monthly, not God, give me enough to
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: be comfortable for the next ten years daily. Because prayer
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: isn't just about getting things from God. It's about depending
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: on him every single day. Too many people only pray
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: when there's a crisis, but Jesus is saying, pray for
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: your needs every day, because when you stop praying daily,
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: you stop depending daily. Forgive us our debts as we
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: forgive our debtors. Now it gets real. Jesus tells us
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: to ask for forgiveness, but only if we are willing
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: to forgive others. How many of us hold on to grudges, bitterness,
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: and resentment while asking God for mercy. Jesus is clear
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: prayer is blocked by unforgiveness. If you're wondering why your
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: prayers feel empty, ask yourself, who do I still need
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: to forgive? Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: from evil. Jesus acknowledges the battle that we are constantly
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: at war with temptation, sin, and the enemy. Prayer isn't
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: just about asking, it's about protecting. When was the last
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: time you prayed against temptation before it even came? Or
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: do you only pray after you've already fallen into it?
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: Jesus tells us pray before the battle. For yours is
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: the kingdom and the power and the glory forever, and
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: he ends the same way he started with worship, because
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: prayer is not just about problems. It's about perspective. When
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: we focus on God's kingdom, his power, and his glory,
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: our fears shrink, our doubts fade, our problems lose their grip,
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: and we remember God is in control. The Lord's prayer
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: isn't just a prayer, it's a strategy, a battle plan,
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: a way to connect with God in the deepest way possible.
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: So the question is Are you just reciting the words
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: or are you actually praying it? Because Jesus didn't just
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: teach this prayer, he lived it. And if we want
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: to pray with power, it's time we do the same.
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: If the last thing Jesus taught us about prayer was
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: a battle plan, then what he prayed in John seventeen
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: was the battle itself. It was the moment where Jesus,
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: knowing he was about to go to the cross, prayed
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: not for himself but for us. And what did he
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: pray for? Not for us to be rich, not for
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: us to be successful, not even for us to be safe.
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: Jesus prayed for unity. I pray also for those who
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: will believe in me through their message, that all of
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: them may be one Father, just as you are in
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: me and I am in you, John seventeen, twenty to
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: twenty one. Of all the things he could have asked
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: the Father, he asked for oneness. Why Because Jesus knew
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: that one of the greatest weapons the enemy would use
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: against his people was division. And isn't that exactly what
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: we see to day? Churches split over minor disagreements, families
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: broken apart by pride, unforgiveness and politics, believers arguing with
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: each other instead of praying together. The devil doesn't need
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: to destroy the church if he can divide it. Jesus
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: knew that. That's why his final recorded prayer before the
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: Cross wasn't just about personal salvation. It was about corporate unity.
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: But here's the question, why does unity even matter? Why
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: would Jesus prioritize oneness over everything else? Because when believers
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: are divided, the world cannot see Christ in us. Then
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: the world will know that You sent me and have
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: loved them even as you have loved me John seventeen
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: twenty three. That's a powerful statement. Jesus is saying. The
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: way the world sees God is through how we love
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: each other, which means every time Christians fight, every time
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: believers turn on each other, every time we let pride
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: offense or ego create division, we are blocking the world
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: from seeing Jesus. That's why unity is not just a
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: nice idea. It's spiritual warfare, and the enemy hates it.
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: Look at what happened in the early Church when they
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: were united, walking in one accord, filled with the Holy Spirit.
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: Miracles broke out, thousands came to Christ the church exploded
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: in power. But as soon as division crept in, false
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: teachers arose, arguments broke out, churches began to split. Satan
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: knows that a divided church church is a weak church.
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: And let's be real, we have fallen right into that trap.
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: Think about the petty arguments that have torn believers apart.
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: You're not saved if you don't worship like me. Your
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: theology is wrong because you don't agree with my opinion.
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: I can't love you because we vote differently. This is
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: not the church Jesus prayed for. This is not the
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: unity he fought for, and yet we justify it. We
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: act like it's righteous to tear each other down over preferences.
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: But unity does not mean uniformity. It doesn't mean we
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: all have to agree on every issue. It means that
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: despite our differences, we refuse to let anything separate us
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: from the love of Christ and from each other. Because
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: the moment we stop seeing each other as family, we
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: have already lost the battle. This is why jesus prayer
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: still echoes to day, because unity not just an option,
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: It's a command. Jesus prayed for it. Now are we
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: willing to fight for it? And let me be clear,
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: Unity isn't passive. It's not just about avoiding conflict. It's
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: about actively pursuing peace. It means forgiving even when you're right.
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: It means loving even when you don't agree. It means
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: praying for people you struggle with instead of gossiping about them.
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: And when we do that, we don't just experience personal breakthrough.
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: We see spiritual revival. Because when the church finally unites,
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: when believers finally stop fighting each other and start praying together,
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: when we let go of our pride, our grudges, our selfishness,
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: something miraculous happens. The world sees Jesus and that is
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: what he prayed for it. So now the real question
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: is will we answer that prayer with our lives. If
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: there's one thing Jesus showed us time and time again,
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: it's that miracles don't just happen, they are birthed in prayer.
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: Before every supernatural move, every act of healing, every display
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: of divine power, Jesus prayed. And yet in today's world,
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: many believers want to see God's power, but they neglect
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: the very thing that unlocks it. Look at the pattern
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: in jesus life before he multiplied the five loaves and
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: two fish, He lifted them up to heaven and prayed.
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: Matthew fourteen nineteen. Before raising Lazarus from the dead, he
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: thanked the Father out loud so that people would believe.
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: John eleven forty one to forty two, Before healing people,
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: before casting out demons, before calming the storm, Jesus prayed.
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: It was never just a performance. It was partnership with
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: the Father. And here's where most people miss it. Prayer
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: wasn't just an afterthought for Jesus. It was just words.
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: It was the very source of his authority. And that's
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: the part we need to understand. We live in a
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: generation that wants miracles but avoids prayer. We want breakthrough,
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: but we won't wake up early to seek God. We
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: want revival, but we won't take time to fast and intercede.
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: We want power, but we won't even prioritize five minutes
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: of prayer a day. And that's why we don't see
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: what Jesus saw. The early Church understood this before Pentecost.
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: What did they do? They prayed Acts one fourteen before
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: Peter and John healed the Lame Man at the temple.
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: They were going to pray Acts three one. Before Paul
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: and Silas were set free from prison, they prayed and
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: worshiped Act sixteen twenty five. The pattern is right in
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: front of us, but we've ignored it. Jesus wasn't just
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: performing miracles. He was showing us how to live in
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: the supernatural. The key was never just talent, charisma, or
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: good preaching. The key was prayer. And here's where it
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: gets even more real. The reason why so many believers
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: to day struggle to see God move in their lives
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: isn't because God has changed. It's because we have. We
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: have filled our lives with distractions. We spend more time
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: on our phones than in God's presence. We prioritize entertainment
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: over intercession. And then we wonder why our faith feels weak.
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: We wonder why we don't see the miracles we read about.
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: We wonder why we struggle with fear, doubt, anxiety, and
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: spiritual dryness. The answer isn't a mystery. The answer is prayer.
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: And I don't mean quick, shallow, half hearted prayers before
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: a meal. I mean real prayer, the kind that shakes
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: heaven and destroys strongholds, the kind that moves mountains and
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: changes lives, the kind that keeps you on your knees
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: until God moves. Because that's what Jesus did. He didn't
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: just pray when it was convenient. He prayed before everything,
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: before choosing his disciples, all night in prayer Luke six twelve,
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: before facing the cross, sweating drops of blood in gathsemone,
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: Luke twenty two, forty four, before stepping into his ministry,
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: forty days fasting in the wilderness Matthew four two. If
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: the Son of God needed to pray, how much more
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: do we? So let's ask the real question. Are you
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: living like Jesus lived or are you trying to see
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: miracles without living a life of prayer? Are you relying
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: on your own strength or are you connected to the
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: power source. Because here's the truth. Miracles don't come from
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: wishful thinking. Breakthrough doesn't happen by accident. Revival is not
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: a random event. It comes when believers return to prayer,
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: when we stop making excuses and start making time for God,
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: when we stop treating prayer like a last resort and
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: start making it our first priority. Because if Jesus himself,
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: God in the flesh, had to pray before every miracle,
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: How can we expect to walk in power without doing
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: the same. It's time to stop just talking about prayer
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: and actually start praying, because the greatest miracles they're waiting
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: on the other side of a prayer life. Like Jesus,
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: if there's one thing we cannot afford to overlook, it's this.
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: Jesus didn't just pray for the sake of prayer. His
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: entire life revolved around it. Every major decision, every miracle,
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: every moment of struggle. Prayer was his foundation. And now
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: we have to ask ourselves are we praying the way
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: Jesus prayed? Because for many of us, if we're honest,
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: prayer is a side thought, not a priority. It's something
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: we do when we're desperate, when things go wrong, or
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: when we need something from God. But is that the
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: kind of prayer life Jesus modeled. Look at the way
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: he lived. Prayer wasn't just a habit, it was his
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: source of power. Before he chose his disciples, he prayed
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: all night Luke six twelve. Before he performed miracles, he
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: prayed John eleven forty one. Before facing the cross, he
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: prayed with such intensity that he sweat drops of blood
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: Luke twenty two, forty four. But what about us? If
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: we were to compare our prayer life to his, would
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: we even recognize the same intensity. Most of us pray
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: only when it's convenient. Jesus prayed when it cost him everything.
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: Most of us pray when we feel like it. Jesus
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: prayed when his soul was in anguish. Most of us
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: pray as a last resort. Jesus prayed as a first response,
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: and that's why he wore in power, and we don't.
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: We talk about wanting to experience God's presence, his miracles,
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: his breakthroughs, but we refuse to make time for the
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: very thing that brings them. Let's be real, how much
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: time did you spend on social media to day? How
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: much time did you spend watching videos, scrolling, texting, working, worrying,
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: And now compare that to how much time you actually
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: spent seeking God in prayer. If we're honest, for many
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: of us, prayer is en afterthought. And then we wonder
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: why we don't hear God's voice. We wonder why we
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: feel distant from him. We wonder why we struggle with sin, anxiety, fear,
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: and doubt. But look at Jesus he was constantly connected
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: to the Father. That's why he wasn't afraid of storms.
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: That's why he walked in divine authority. That's why he
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: knew exactly what to say and do because he was
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: always in communication with God. If Jesus needed that kind
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: of prayer life, how much more do we so? What
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: needs to change? First? We need to stop treating prayer
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: like a chore and start treating it like our life line.
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: Imagine you're in the middle of the ocean, struggling to
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: stay above water. Some one throws you a rope. Are
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: you going to grab it only when you feel like
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: it or are you going to hold on to it
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: with everything you have. That's what prayer is. It's not optional,
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: it's survival. Second, we need to set aside real time
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: for God. Not rush prayers in between meetings. Not half
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: hearted words before bed, not God help me as we
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: scroll through our phones. Real prayer, Prayer that costs us something,
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: Prayer that requires intentional time, Prayer that forces us to
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: disconnect from distractions and seek God's face. Jesus woke up
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: early to pray Mark one thirty five. He withdrew from
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: crowds to pray Luke five sixteen. He spent whole nights
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: in prayer Luke six twelve. If he made it that important,
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: why do we treat it like it's optional. The truth is,
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: our spiritual life will never be stronger than our prayer life.
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: If we pray weak prayers, we will have weak faith.
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: If we pray occasionally, we will experience God occasionally. If
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: we neglect prayer, we will feel distant from Him. But
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: if we learn to pray the way Jesus prayed, everything changes.
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: We will begin to see breakthroughs we've never seen before.
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: We will hear God's voice more clearly than ever. We
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: will walk in authority, power, and confidence because we are
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: fully connected to the source. So here's the challenge. What's
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: one change you're going to make in your prayer life today?
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: Are you going to start waking up earlier to seek God?
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: Are you going to start praying before making decisions? Are
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: you going to start praying for others more intentionally? Because
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: at the end of the day, we either follow Jesus
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: example or we don't. And if Jesus, God in the flesh,
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: needed prayer to fulfill his mission, then so do we.
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: No more excuses, no more distractions. No more treating prayer
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: like a last resort. It's time to pray like Jesus did,
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: and when we do, our lives will never be the same.
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: If there's one question that should shake us awake, it's this,
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: are we praying out of routine or out of relationship?
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: Because if prayer is nothing more than a checklist, a
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: quick God help me before bed, or something we only
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: do when life gets hard, then we are missing everything
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: Jesus was trying to teach us. Prayer was never meant
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: to be a religious duty. It was meant to be
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: a relationship with the living God. And yet look at
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: how many of us treat it. We pray when we
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: need something, we pray when we're in trouble, we pray
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: when we feel spiritual. But Jesus prayed because he needed
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: the Father every second of every day. Do we or
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: do we think we can handle life on our own?
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: Because that's the difference. That's why Jesus was never shaken,
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: never lost, never disconnected from his purpose. He didn't just
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: pray when he felt like it. He lived in prayer.
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: That's what we've missed. We want to experience God's power,
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: his presence, his miracles, but we refuse to prioritize the
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: one thing that brings them. Think about this, Jesus, the
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: son of God, the one who had all authority, all wisdom,
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: all power, felt the need to pray constantly. He prayed
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: before making decisions, He prayed before performing miracles. He prayed
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: when he was joyful, when he was hurting, when he
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: was exhausted. So if Jesus needed that kind of prayer life,
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: why don't we. Maybe that's why so many many believers
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: today feel spiritually empty. They're chasing after blessings instead of
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: chasing after the one who gives them. They're asking for
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: God's help but never spending time in his presence. They're
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: running on spiritual fumes because they've been neglecting the very
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: source of life. Prayer is not optional. It is not
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: a last resort. Prayer is survival. Without prayer, we are
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: powerless without prayer. We are directionless without prayer. We are weak, distracted,
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: and vulnerable to every attack of the enemy. And yet
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: so many of us try to live the Christian life
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: without a real prayer life. So let's make this personal.
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: How's your prayer life? Not just the prayers you say
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: before eating not just the times you ask God to
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: fix something. Are you truly seeking God every single day?
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: Because here's the truth. Your relationship with God is only
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: as strong as your prayer life. If you want to
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: know his voice, you need to spare time with him.
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: If you want to walk in his power, you need
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: to spend time with him. If you want to see breakthroughs,
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: grow spiritually, and live the life He's called you to,
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: you need to spend time with him. There are no
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: short cuts that, there is no substitute, and we need
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: to stop waiting for the right moment to start. Jesus
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: didn't wait until he had free time to pray. He
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: didn't wait until he wasn't tired, he didn't wait until
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: he had no distractions. He made prayer his priority. So
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: here's the challenge. What's one change you're making in your
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: prayer life to day. Are you going to start praying
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: before decisions instead of after them. Are you going to
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: wake up earlier to seek God? Are you going to
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: stop rushing through prayer and start actually listening to God?
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: Because if we don't make changes, nothing will change. This
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: isn't about adding another religious rule. This is about drawing
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: closer to the Father. And if Jesus, the one who
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: walked in absolute power, wisdom, and authority, needed prayer every
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: single day, then we do too. So no more excuses,
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: no more waiting, no more letting distractions steal the most
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: important part of our day. It's time to pray like Jesus,
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: because when we do, our lives will never be the same.
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: If there's one thing we all need to ask God,
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: it's this, Lord, teach us to pray, because prayer is
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: not just something we do, it's the foundation of everything
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: we are. We've spent this entire video walking through how
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: Jesus prayed, why he prayed, and what it means for us.
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: But now it's time for more than just knowledge. It's
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: time to pray like never before. Maybe you've been struggling
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: with prayer. Maybe you feel like your prayers aren't being heard.
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: Maybe you don't even know where to start. But here's
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: the good news. You don't have to figure this out alone.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: The Holy Spirit helps us pray. Jesus is interceding for
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: us right now, and the Father is waiting for you
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: to come closer. So right now, let's pray together. Let
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: ask God to transform our prayer lives. Let's surrender the distractions,
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: the excuses, the doubts, and step into a deeper connection
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: with Him. Wherever you are, bow your head, open your heart,
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: and let's pray. Father. We come before you with open hearts.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: We don't want to pray out of routine, out of habit,
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: or out of obligation. We want to know you, to
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: seek you, to experience your presence like never before. Teach
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: us to pray, Lord, Teach us to pray like Jesus
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: did with faith, with intimacy, with surrender. Teach us to
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: seek you in the quiet places, in the secret moments,
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: in the stillness of the morning. Teach us to pray
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: before we make decisions, before we take action, before we
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: try to handle things on our own. God, forgive us
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: for every time we've treated prayer like a last resort
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: instead of our first priority. Forgive us for every time
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: we've rushed through it, distracted, unfocused, giving you only the
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: leftovers of our time and attention. Lord, we ask for
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: a fresh hunger for prayer, a hunger that draws us
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: into your presence daily, A hunger that makes us wake
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: up seeking you first, A hunger that refuses to live
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: without hearing your voice and Lord, help us not just
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: pray for ourselves, but to pray for others, for our families,
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: for our friends, for those who are lost, broken, hurting,
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: and far from you. Make us intercessors, make us warriors
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: in prayer, make us people who stand in the gap
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: and fight for others in the spiritual realm. And Father,
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: we ask for one more thing. We ask for power
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: in our prayers. Not empty words, but prayers that shake
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: the heavens, prayers that move mountains, prayers that bring healing, restoration, breakthrough,
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: and transformation. Your word says in James five sixteen that
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: the prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. Lord,
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: make our prayers powerful and effective. Make our prayers aligned
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: with your will. Make our prayers unstoppable. We thank you
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: in advance for what you're about to do, for the
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: breakthrough's coming, for the miracles waiting, for the revival that
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: starts in our hearts. And we seal this prayer in
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen. If this prayer
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: spoke to you, don't keep it to yourself. Share this
• 1:02:39
