- 0:00Speaker 1: It's God's will for you to be well, healthy and strong.
- 0:05Speaker 1: So join me in agreement as I pray these healing
- 0:08Speaker 1: scriptures over your body and believe that God is healing
- 0:12Speaker 1: and strengthening you. Now, Precious Heavenly Father, I know that
- 0:17Speaker 1: you fearfully and wonderfully made my body and that nothing
- 0:21Speaker 1: is too difficult for you. Thank you for caring about
- 0:25Speaker 1: my physical health. According to Isaiah fifty three five, you
- 0:31Speaker 1: were pierced for my transgressions and crushed for my iniquities.
- 0:36Speaker 1: The punishment that brought me peace was on you, and
- 0:40Speaker 1: by your wounds, I am healed as your child. God.
- 0:46Speaker 1: Healing is my right and my inheritance. Sickness, disease, and
- 0:52Speaker 1: pain have no hold on me. When Jesus walked this earth,
- 0:58Speaker 1: he healed, del delivered, and set people free. And Jesus
- 1:03Speaker 1: is the same, yesterday to day and forever. I declare
- 1:10Speaker 1: from Psalm one hundred three that I praise you Lord.
- 1:15Speaker 1: I remember all your benefits. You forgive all my sins
- 1:19Speaker 1: and heal all my diseases. You redeem my life from
- 1:24Speaker 1: the pit and crown me with love and compassion. I
- 1:29Speaker 1: receive your healing over my body from the top of
- 1:33Speaker 1: my head to the bottom of my feet. I declare
- 1:38Speaker 1: that every cell, tissue, and organ function according to your
- 1:44Speaker 1: perfect will. Philippians too says that no other name is
- 1:50Speaker 1: greater than Jesus's name. So I declare the name of
- 1:54Speaker 1: Jesus over my body, my blood, my organs, and every
- 2:01Speaker 1: system and process in my body. I declare the name
- 2:05Speaker 1: of Jesus over every disease and diagnosis that has been
- 2:10Speaker 1: spoken over me. They are rendered powerless, and I am free.
- 2:17Speaker 1: I rebuke every weapon and device of the enemy that
- 2:21Speaker 1: is trying to defeat and discourage me. I am not
- 2:25Speaker 1: obligated to what others speak over me. I am only
- 2:30Speaker 1: obligated to the Word of God and the Kingdom of God.
- 2:34Speaker 1: There is no room for disease, illness, pain, or sickness
- 2:39Speaker 1: in God's kingdom. Your word is truth. Send your word,
- 2:45Speaker 1: Lord and heal me. Rescue me from the grave. Heal me, Lord,
- 2:52Speaker 1: and I will be healed. Save me and I will
- 2:57Speaker 1: be saved. For you are the one I praise. Receive
- 3:02Speaker 1: glory as you fulfill your word in my life. I
- 3:07Speaker 1: receive your life, healing and wholeness into every fiber of
- 3:11Speaker 1: my being, into my brain, my digestive system, my circulatory system,
- 3:17Speaker 1: and reproductive system. Let your healing power overtake my kidneys, liver, lungs,
- 3:24Speaker 1: and heart. Restore every muscle, tendon, ligament, bone, and nerve
- 3:30Speaker 1: so that I can move freely without pain. Strengthen my
- 3:35Speaker 1: elimination system and help it to effectively and efficiently remove
- 3:40Speaker 1: all toxins from my body. Let every single gland, thyroid, adrenal,
- 3:47Speaker 1: sex glands, hypothalamus, pituitary function perfectly in conjunction with each other.
- 3:55Speaker 1: I rebuke every form of sickness and disease from my body.
- 4:00Speaker 1: I declare from Psalm ninety one that the Lord is
- 4:04Speaker 1: my refuge and fortress, and I trust him to protect
- 4:10Speaker 1: me from all harm. He is faithful to shield me
- 4:14Speaker 1: from every snare and deadly illness. Because I love the Lord,
- 4:21Speaker 1: he will rescue and protect me for I acknowledge his name.
- 4:27Speaker 1: When I call on him, he will answer me. He
- 4:32Speaker 1: will be with me in trouble and will deliver me
- 4:36Speaker 1: and honor me with long life. He will satisfy me
- 4:43Speaker 1: and show me his salvation. Amen, as I pray this
- 4:52Speaker 1: healing prayer over your body, remember that God is your
- 4:56Speaker 1: healer and nothing is too difficult for him. Agree with
- 5:01Speaker 1: me now for your healing. Father. You are holy and
- 5:07Speaker 1: righteous in all your ways. And I declare Jeremiah thirty
- 5:12Speaker 1: or seventeen, over my body, you are restoring me to
- 5:18Speaker 1: health and healing my wounds. According to Jeremiah seventeen, heal me,
- 5:25Speaker 1: o Lord, and I will be healed. Save me and
- 5:30Speaker 1: I will be saved. For you are the one I praise.
- 5:36Speaker 1: Romans eight, verse eleven says, the same spirit that raised
- 5:39Speaker 1: Christ Jesus from the dead is living and dwelling in me.
- 5:45Speaker 1: And this same spirit is giving life to my mortal body. Resurrection, life, healing, life,
- 5:54Speaker 1: and wholeness. I confess that every cell, organ, tissue, and
- 5:59Speaker 1: sol system is being filled with the life of God
- 6:04Speaker 1: and is being completely renewed and restored. I declare that
- 6:09Speaker 1: the blood of Jesus is pumping through my veins and
- 6:13Speaker 1: pushing out every trace of illness, disease and pain. Right now,
- 6:20Speaker 1: I speak third John two over myself. I pray that
- 6:25Speaker 1: I would enjoy good health and that all may go
- 6:28Speaker 1: well and with me, even as my soul is getting
- 6:31Speaker 1: along well, as it says in Isaiah forty, Lord, you
- 6:37Speaker 1: give strength to me when I'm weary and you increase
- 6:41Speaker 1: my power when I feel weak. I receive your supernatural
- 6:47Speaker 1: strength into my natural body in this moment, and I
- 6:51Speaker 1: expect to feel your power and energy invigorating me in
- 6:55Speaker 1: every way. Thank you God, restoring me to health and
- 7:01Speaker 1: healing my wounds as you promise in Jeremiah thirty. Specifically,
- 7:08Speaker 1: I ask for your healing to my sinuses, lungs, an
- 7:12Speaker 1: entire respiratory system. I receive strength in my immune system
- 7:17Speaker 1: to fight off every sickness and disease that comes against me.
- 7:23Speaker 1: I declare that my heart is strong and healthy, and
- 7:27Speaker 1: that my circulation works perfectly. My hormonal system is completely
- 7:34Speaker 1: balanced and functions exactly the way it's supposed to. I
- 7:39Speaker 1: rebuke all pain, headaches, migrains, back pain, chest pain, arthritic pain,
- 7:47Speaker 1: tooth pain, joint and muscle pain, cramps, and tendinitis. Psalm
- 7:54Speaker 1: forty one says that you deliver the weak in times
- 7:57Speaker 1: of trouble, attect and preserve them, and call them blessed.
- 8:05Speaker 1: You don't give them over to the desire of their foes.
- 8:09Speaker 1: You sustain them on their sick bed and restore them
- 8:13Speaker 1: from their bed of illness. I receive this promise as
- 8:19Speaker 1: my own Lord, your sustaining me and restoring me to health. God,
- 8:29Speaker 1: you are my refuge and my fortress, my God in
- 8:34Speaker 1: whom I trust. Healing is right, wholeness is right, and
- 8:41Speaker 1: restoration is right. And according to Ephesians three twenty, I
- 8:50Speaker 1: believe that you are able to do immeasurably more than
- 8:55Speaker 1: all I ask or imagine, according to your mighty power
- 9:00Speaker 1: that is at work within me. I expect your power
- 9:04Speaker 1: to work healing, miracles, and wholeness in my body. I
- 9:10Speaker 1: will walk by faith, not by sight. I choose to
- 9:15Speaker 1: activate my faith and believe that you are working on
- 9:18Speaker 1: my behalf, even when I don't see it or feel it. Yet. Amen,
- 9:27Speaker 1: just as Jesus has forgiven your sins, he heals your diseases, illnesses,
- 9:32Speaker 1: and pain. When he proclaimed it is finished as he
- 9:36Speaker 1: hung on the cross, he finished your salvation. He finished
- 9:42Speaker 1: your healing and finished your wholeness. Let's pray in agreement
- 9:48Speaker 1: for your complete restoration. Heavenly Father, I believe that Jesus
- 9:54Speaker 1: finished my physical healing on the cross two thousand years ago.
- 9:59Speaker 1: He broke the cur sin death and disease off my
- 10:02Speaker 1: life when I accepted him as my savior. Therefore, I
- 10:08Speaker 1: am not cursed. I am blessed and highly favored. I
- 10:13Speaker 1: confess that I'm healthy, whole, and well in Jesus's name. Sin,
- 10:21Speaker 1: death and disease have no hold on me. I belong
- 10:26Speaker 1: to Jesus, and I'm free from every pain, degeneration, disease, illness, syndrome, diagnosis,
- 10:35Speaker 1: and disorder. I ask you to bring order and full
- 10:40Speaker 1: function to every member of my body right now. Whatever
- 10:45Speaker 1: isn't right, God, make it right. Whatever is malfunctioning, cause
- 10:52Speaker 1: it to line up with your will and your word.
- 10:57Speaker 1: Let every cancer sell dry up, Let every system operate correctly,
- 11:04Speaker 1: Let every hormone come into alignment. Let my blood levels
- 11:10Speaker 1: even out. Let every organ function perfectly. As you say
- 11:17Speaker 1: in Jeremiah thirty three, verse six, bring health and healing
- 11:21Speaker 1: to me. Heal me and let me enjoy abundant peace
- 11:26Speaker 1: and security. You are Jehovah Rapha, my healer. I worship you, Lord,
- 11:35Speaker 1: and thank you for blessing my food and water, and
- 11:38Speaker 1: for taking away sickness from me. As it says in
- 11:41Speaker 1: Exodus twenty three, verse twenty five, give me wisdom on
- 11:46Speaker 1: how to take care of this body you've entrusted to me,
- 11:50Speaker 1: like it says in Exodus fifteen, verse twenty six. If
- 11:55Speaker 1: I listen carefully to you and do what is right
- 11:58Speaker 1: in your eyes, if I pay attention to your commands
- 12:02Speaker 1: and keep all your decrees, you won't bring any of
- 12:07Speaker 1: the diseases on me that you brought on the Egyptians.
- 12:10Speaker 1: For you are the Lord who heals me. If I
- 12:15Speaker 1: receive an unwonted diagnosis, I confess Isaiah forty one ten,
- 12:22Speaker 1: I will not be afraid because you are with me.
- 12:27Speaker 1: I won't be dismayed, for you are my God. You
- 12:32Speaker 1: will strengthen me and help me. You will uphold me
- 12:36Speaker 1: with your righteous right hand. As it says in Psalm
- 12:41Speaker 1: ninety one, you will cover me with your feathers, and
- 12:46Speaker 1: under your wings I will find refuge. Your faithfulness will
- 12:51Speaker 1: be my shield and rampart. I won't fear the terror
- 12:55Speaker 1: of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor
- 12:59Speaker 1: the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague
- 13:02Speaker 1: that destroys at midday. A thousand may fall at my side,
- 13:07Speaker 1: ten thousand at my right hand, but it will not
- 13:11Speaker 1: come near me.
- 13:13Speaker 3: Lord.
- 13:15Speaker 1: You promise that if I say, the Lord is my refuge,
- 13:20Speaker 1: and if I make the most high my dwelling. No
- 13:24Speaker 1: harm will overtake me, no disaster will come near my tent.
- 13:29Speaker 1: I will tread on every enemy, every disease, and every
- 13:33Speaker 1: diagnosis that tries to attack me, and I will rest
- 13:38Speaker 1: in the safety of your love and protection, trusting you
- 13:42Speaker 1: to bring about total wholeness to my body. And I
- 13:48Speaker 1: will rest in the safety of your love and protection,
- 13:53Speaker 1: trusting you to bring about total wellness and wholeness to
- 13:59Speaker 1: my body.
- 14:02Speaker 2: Amen, please get settled into bed and take a few
- 14:12Speaker 2: deep breaths to help you relax. Release everything that is
- 14:21Speaker 2: on your mind. Where are your thoughts of all distractions?
- 14:28Speaker 2: By focusing only on Jesus, whisper his name, Invite the
- 14:40Speaker 2: Lord to be with you as you keep your mind
- 14:44Speaker 2: fixed on him. Ask for him to fill the room
- 14:50Speaker 2: with his peace and his presence.
- 14:57Speaker 3: Breathe in.
- 15:00Speaker 2: And release your breath slowly. Be assured tonight that Jesus
- 15:09Speaker 2: loves you. Even though you've probably heard that phrase many times,
- 15:16Speaker 2: it is a powerful truth you can count on. Jesus
- 15:23Speaker 2: loves you. He knows your name amidst all the people
- 15:31Speaker 2: in the world. He knows exactly what you need Inhale
- 15:39Speaker 2: deeply and exhale completely all the soft covers around you,
- 15:51Speaker 2: and lie very still for a moment, think only of
- 15:58Speaker 2: the gentle Savior who loves you and surrounds you with
- 16:03Speaker 2: his peace. Softly and tenderly. Jesus is calling, calling for
- 16:13Speaker 2: you and for me. Please pray with me, Heavenly Father,
- 16:24Speaker 2: in the precious name of your son, Jesus, I pray
- 16:30Speaker 2: over this beloved listener tonight. With each breath they take,
- 16:37Speaker 2: I ask you to fill them with your peace.
- 16:43Speaker 3: Lord.
- 16:44Speaker 2: Each of us needs your tender healing touch. Just as
- 16:50Speaker 2: the woman bravely reached out and touched the hem of
- 16:54Speaker 2: your robe, so we reach out to receive healing from you,
- 16:59Speaker 2: to mind, heart, body, and soul. Please heal every broken place. Lord,
- 17:15Speaker 2: As this dear child hears your words of comfort tonight,
- 17:21Speaker 2: let your spirit flow through them, reminding them of your truth.
- 17:28Speaker 2: Let them know they are deeply loved by you. As
- 17:34Speaker 2: they fall asleep, I pray that your presence will guard
- 17:39Speaker 2: them all through the night, and when they wake, I
- 17:45Speaker 2: pray that they will be fully renewed, ready to face
- 17:50Speaker 2: the day, complete, all healthy and secure. I ask for
- 18:00Speaker 2: these things in the name of your son Jesus.
- 18:05Speaker 3: Amen.
- 18:09Speaker 2: Before we get into our sleep story, take one more deep.
- 18:13Speaker 3: Breath in.
- 18:16Speaker 2: And release it as slowly as you can. Relax every
- 18:24Speaker 2: muscle from head to toe. Feel the tension leaving your body.
- 18:33Speaker 3: God is with you.
- 18:36Speaker 2: Feel his comforting presence. Rest in his love and peace. Oh,
- 18:46Speaker 2: how he cares for you. Now we turn to the
- 18:53Speaker 2: shores of Galilee as a multitude of people wait for Jesus.
- 19:00Speaker 2: He steps out of the boat and is welcomed by them.
- 19:05Speaker 2: They gather around him, pressing in on every side, desperate
- 19:11Speaker 2: to get close to him. A woman is in the crowd,
- 19:19Speaker 2: a dear woman who has been bleeding for twelve long years.
- 19:27Speaker 3: Can you imagine?
- 19:30Speaker 2: She has suffered for so long without relief. She has
- 19:37Speaker 2: spent her life savings on doctors and treatments, hoping something
- 19:43Speaker 2: will work. She has been isolated and outcast as a
- 19:51Speaker 2: woman who is unclean by every standard of the Jewish law.
- 19:59Speaker 2: She should not be there this day, However, she has
- 20:04Speaker 2: nowhere else to go. She is desperate to find healing,
- 20:11Speaker 2: and she knows there is one who can make her whole.
- 20:19Speaker 2: Perhaps you have felt unclean or isolated. Maybe you don't
- 20:27Speaker 2: believe you should receive anything from God. If so, please
- 20:33Speaker 2: release those thoughts to the Savior. Tonight he has washed
- 20:42Speaker 2: away your guilt and shame. He has torn the veil
- 20:47Speaker 2: so that you can enter the Holy of Holies. He
- 20:53Speaker 2: invites you to come boldly to the throne of grace.
- 21:00Speaker 2: Gracious God, please release this beloved listener of all doubt
- 21:07Speaker 2: to night. As they come before you, remove any obstacle
- 21:13Speaker 2: that stands in their way, restore their faith in you,
- 21:18Speaker 2: leading them to your throne, fully surrendered to you, in
- 21:24Speaker 2: the name of Jesus, I pray. Even though the woman
- 21:33Speaker 2: was deemed unclean by the Jewish law, the law of
- 21:38Speaker 2: love prevailed that day. Her faith in Jesus took her
- 21:46Speaker 2: to Galilee, despite the label others had placed on her,
- 21:51Speaker 2: and in faith she waited for just the right time
- 21:56Speaker 2: to touch the hem of his robe. Her story is
- 22:01Speaker 2: recorded in Luke chapter eight, Verses forty three and forty four. Now,
- 22:08Speaker 2: a woman, having a flow of blood for twelve years,
- 22:13Speaker 2: who had spent all her livelihood on physicians and could
- 22:17Speaker 2: not be healed by any came from behind and touched
- 22:22Speaker 2: the border of his garment, and immediately her flow of
- 22:28Speaker 2: blood stopped. Immediately she was healed with one slight touch.
- 22:39Speaker 2: She received the power of Jesus mighty to heal. You. See,
- 22:48Speaker 2: as Jesus, the Great Physician, walked past, she knew without
- 22:54Speaker 2: a doubt that he was.
- 22:57Speaker 3: Able to heal.
- 23:02Speaker 2: He is able, as Efficients three twenty says, he is
- 23:09Speaker 2: able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine,
- 23:16Speaker 2: according to His power that is at work within us.
- 23:24Speaker 2: Rest in that comforting truth tonight, Gracious God, healer and friend,
- 23:36Speaker 2: we come humbly before you, thanking you for being with us.
- 23:43Speaker 2: As this beloved person seeks you tonight, help them to
- 23:50Speaker 2: find your grace and peace. Remind them that they are
- 23:55Speaker 2: created to seek you, reach for you, and find you,
- 24:02Speaker 2: for you are not far from them. I pray for
- 24:09Speaker 2: this dear person to be assured of the healing power
- 24:13Speaker 2: of your presence. I ask Lord that you heal every affliction,
- 24:22Speaker 2: every illness, and every issue they might have in the
- 24:29Speaker 2: mighty name of Jesus, and by the power of your spirit,
- 24:36Speaker 2: please move through this person's body to bring full healing
- 24:41Speaker 2: and restoration. Thank you, Father, in Jesus's name.
- 24:50Speaker 3: Amen.
- 24:53Speaker 2: After the woman touched the hem of Jesus's robe, he
- 24:58Speaker 2: stopped asked who touched me? None of his disciples could
- 25:05Speaker 2: answer him. In fact, the questioned the Lord by saying, Master,
- 25:13Speaker 2: the multitude strong impress you, and you say who touched me?
- 25:21Speaker 2: But Jesus said, somebody touched me, for I perceived power
- 25:28Speaker 2: going out from me. Jesus already knew who the woman was,
- 25:37Speaker 2: yet he stopped to ask who had touched him. He
- 25:42Speaker 2: wanted her to come forward in faith. Jesus wants you
- 25:50Speaker 2: to come to him in faith as well. He invites
- 25:55Speaker 2: you to ask of him. In Juhn chapter fourteen, Jesus said,
- 26:03Speaker 2: whatever you ask in my name, that I will do
- 26:08Speaker 2: that the Father may be glorified in the sun. If
- 26:13Speaker 2: you ask anything in my name, I will do it.
- 26:22Speaker 2: This heart lord needs your cleansing power. This mind lord
- 26:32Speaker 2: needs your thoughts of praise. This body lord needs your
- 26:40Speaker 2: healing touch. This soul lord needs your hands to raise.
- 26:52Speaker 2: Be still before the Lord tonight, resting in his love
- 26:57Speaker 2: towards you. Try as him to know exactly what you need,
- 27:04Speaker 2: trust him to heal you. When the woman saw that
- 27:12Speaker 2: she was not hidden from Jesus, she came, trembling and
- 27:17Speaker 2: falling down before him. She declared in the presence of
- 27:22Speaker 2: all the people, why she had touched him and how
- 27:27Speaker 2: she was healed. Immediately then, Jesus said to her daughter,
- 27:36Speaker 2: be of good cheer. Your faith has made you well.
- 27:41Speaker 3: Go in peace.
- 27:46Speaker 2: Here Jesus' words again, be of good cheer. Your faith
- 27:53Speaker 2: has made you well. Go in ease. Your faith, as
- 28:02Speaker 2: small as a tiny mustard seed, is enough. Believe that
- 28:10Speaker 2: Jesus is mighty to heal from every sickness and pain.
- 28:16Speaker 2: He is more than able to make you well.
- 28:20Speaker 3: Do not give up.
- 28:22Speaker 2: Keep pressing in, keep taking hold of the hem of
- 28:28Speaker 2: his garment, believing he can heal you. Lord Jesus, I
- 28:38Speaker 2: pray for this beloved person to night, hopeful for your
- 28:42Speaker 2: hand of healing over their infirmities. Lise Lord, renew their
- 28:50Speaker 2: hope in you. Never let them doubt that you are
- 28:55Speaker 2: able to heal. Give them strength, comfort, and direction as
- 29:03Speaker 2: they walk in faithfulness to you. I ask that you
- 29:08Speaker 2: work through their body, through every fiber of their being,
- 29:14Speaker 2: to heal and restore them to health no matter what, Lord,
- 29:22Speaker 2: I pray that this child will give you all the glory, honor,
- 29:28Speaker 2: and praise. I pray that they will be a living
- 29:34Speaker 2: testimony of what You've done for them. Be with them, Lord,
- 29:40Speaker 2: be their comfort and their peace. I pray these things
- 29:45Speaker 2: in your Holy name.
- 29:48Speaker 1: Amen, Let your head sink deep into the pillow. Let
- 29:59Speaker 1: go of any distractions or thoughts about tomorrow and events
- 30:04Speaker 1: of your day. Allow yourself to be fully present in
- 30:09Speaker 1: the here and now. Breathe deeply in and out, in
- 30:18Speaker 1: and out, inviting God's presence to fill the room. As
- 30:26Speaker 1: you listen to my voice and the words of this meditation,
- 30:30Speaker 1: Let the peaceful messages flow into your mind and settle
- 30:35Speaker 1: deep into your heart. Prayers and scriptures I will speak
- 30:41Speaker 1: over you tonight are words of hope, life and peace.
- 30:48Speaker 1: Ask the Holy Spirit to send words of comfort through
- 30:52Speaker 1: this meditation, and know that His angels are here to
- 30:57Speaker 1: protect you as you rest tonight. As I begin reading
- 31:03Speaker 1: from Psalm ninety one, allow yourself to feel the security
- 31:08Speaker 1: of God's covering like a soft, warm blanket. Let His
- 31:14Speaker 1: gentle presence cover every fiber of your being. He is
- 31:20Speaker 1: your protection and your refuge. Know that it is the
- 31:26Speaker 1: Lord who keeps you safe. Those who live in the
- 31:31Speaker 1: shelter of the Most High will find rest in the
- 31:34Speaker 1: shadow of the Almighty. He alone is your refuge, your
- 31:41Speaker 1: place of safety. He is your God, and you can
- 31:47Speaker 1: trust him. He will cover you with his feathers He
- 31:53Speaker 1: will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are
- 31:59Speaker 1: your armor and your protection. Do not be afraid. Rest
- 32:08Speaker 1: in His everlasting arms as I pray over you. Now,
- 32:14Speaker 1: relax and breathe deeply in and out. Inhale his goodness,
- 32:26Speaker 1: exhale your worries. Gracious Heavenly Father, shelter this beloved person
- 32:35Speaker 1: tonight under the shadow of your wings. Let their heart
- 32:40Speaker 1: fully trust in you, Lord, as you cover them and
- 32:46Speaker 1: guard them from the terrors of the night. Surround them
- 32:51Speaker 1: with your angels that they might feel completely safe and
- 32:56Speaker 1: secure in Jesus his name. Do you feel his presence,
- 33:05Speaker 1: his protection, his safety. Breathe deeply now, in and out,
- 33:14Speaker 1: relaxing even more in the presence of God. Trust the
- 33:20Speaker 1: Lord to send his angels to keep watch over you.
- 33:26Speaker 1: Allow yourself to imagine guardian angels in the room with you.
- 33:32Speaker 1: They are there to protect you so that you can
- 33:36Speaker 1: rest easily. Feel the warmth of the covers and the
- 33:42Speaker 1: softness of the pillow as you sink deeper into peaceful relaxation.
- 33:50Speaker 1: Now listen as I read these beautiful words from Psalm
- 33:54Speaker 1: ninety one. If you make the Lord your refuge, if
- 33:59Speaker 1: you make the most high your shelter. No evil will
- 34:03Speaker 1: conquer you, no plague will come near your home, for
- 34:09Speaker 1: He will order his angels to protect you wherever you go.
- 34:17Speaker 1: Do you believe that? Do you believe with all your
- 34:21Speaker 1: heart that God will order his angels to protect you.
- 34:27Speaker 1: He loves you, and you can rest fully in that truth.
- 34:34Speaker 1: Holy God, Please give this person your cherished loved one
- 34:40Speaker 1: perfect rest. Help them to make you their refuge and
- 34:46Speaker 1: their shelter. Give them comfort, Give them comfort to know
- 34:54Speaker 1: that no bad thing will come near their home. Help
- 34:58Speaker 1: them sense that your angels are watching over them. Tonight,
- 35:03Speaker 1: in Jesus's name, I pray Amen, as I share even
- 35:10Speaker 1: more from psalmninety one, try to pace your breathing. Breathe
- 35:16Speaker 1: in and exhale slowly, breathe in and breathe out. Allow
- 35:27Speaker 1: yourself to drift off to sleep in perfect peace. Where
- 35:33Speaker 1: the Lord says, I will rescue those who love me.
- 35:38Speaker 1: I will protect those who trust in my name. When
- 35:44Speaker 1: you call on me, I will answer. I will be
- 35:48Speaker 1: with you in trouble. God is with you. He will
- 35:56Speaker 1: rescue you from every trouble, every hardship, every difficult situation.
- 36:05Speaker 1: When you love Him, trust him and call on his name. Yes,
- 36:12Speaker 1: he will be with you. Feel his presence. His spirit
- 36:20Speaker 1: lives in you. His son, Jesus has saved you. He
- 36:29Speaker 1: is your God, Heavenly Father. Be with your loved one tonight.
- 36:39Speaker 1: With every breath they take, let them know you are
- 36:45Speaker 1: with them. Let them know that your spirit dwells in
- 36:52Speaker 1: their spirit, and let them be assured that the blood
- 36:57Speaker 1: of your Son has made them clean, whole and restored.
- 37:04Speaker 1: Thank you, Lord for protecting them tonight in your presence
- 37:09Speaker 1: and by the covering of your angels. In Jesus's name,
- 37:17Speaker 1: as I share this final portion of Psalm ninety one,
- 37:21Speaker 1: sink even deeper into this safety and protection that the
- 37:25Speaker 1: Lord offers you tonight. His loving arms are around you.
- 37:32Speaker 1: He is keeping you safe. He is with you. I
- 37:40Speaker 1: will rescue and honor you, says the Lord. I will
- 37:45Speaker 1: reward you with a long life and give you my salvation.
- 37:52Speaker 1: The peace of knowing you have honor, long life, and
- 37:57Speaker 1: salvation is a perfect peace that allows you to rest
- 38:02Speaker 1: fully in the Lord. He is trustworthy and true. Feel
- 38:09Speaker 1: his presence now as you breathe in and out, Breathe
- 38:17Speaker 1: in the warmth of God's embrace, exhale your exhaustion, letting
- 38:25Speaker 1: it go as you drift into God's land of protection.
- 38:34Speaker 1: Thank you Lord for rewarding your servant with honor and
- 38:38Speaker 1: long life. Bless them tonight, giving them peaceful rest, assuring
- 38:44Speaker 1: them of the salvation they have in your Son Jesus.
- 38:50Speaker 1: For it is in his name that I pray. Now,
- 38:54Speaker 1: as I turn to Psalm one O three, let your
- 38:58Speaker 1: mind turn to thought of deep sleep. You are at
- 39:04Speaker 1: perfect rest tonight. Breathe in and out, sinking deeper into
- 39:13Speaker 1: the bed, letting your entire body relax. Let every part
- 39:21Speaker 1: of you praise the Lord. May you never forget the
- 39:26Speaker 1: good things He has done for you. He forgives all
- 39:31Speaker 1: your sins and heals all your diseases. What a beautiful
- 39:38Speaker 1: reminder of the good things God has done for you.
- 39:42Speaker 1: He longs to give you good things. Receive his goodness.
- 39:51Speaker 1: Do you feel the goodness of his presence. He has
- 39:55Speaker 1: sent angels to protect you, and it is good. Confess
- 40:02Speaker 1: your sins before the Lord. He forgives all of your iniquities.
- 40:08Speaker 1: Thank him, Raise him. He heals all of your ailments.
- 40:15Speaker 1: Receive his healing, Touch his comforts, his provisions. Breathe deeply
- 40:25Speaker 1: of his spirit. Relax, settle your mind and heart on
- 40:31Speaker 1: his goodness. Gracious God, please bless this person tonight with
- 40:39Speaker 1: good things that they will not forget what you have
- 40:43Speaker 1: done for them. You have forgiven them. Let them know
- 40:49Speaker 1: they are forgiven tonight. You have healed them. Let them
- 40:55Speaker 1: feel completely healed by your touch. Thank you, Lord for
- 41:02Speaker 1: giving your beloved such wonderful gifts. In Jesus's name. Now,
- 41:11Speaker 1: as I continue in Psalm one O three, relax and
- 41:16Speaker 1: breathe in and out again, in and out, letting your mind.
- 41:28Speaker 1: Settle on the comforting words of the scripture, God's words,
- 41:34Speaker 1: his truth, his ways. He redeems you from death and
- 41:43Speaker 1: crowns you with love and tender mercies. He fills your
- 41:48Speaker 1: life with good things. Receive those good things from the
- 41:52Speaker 1: hand of the Father, for he has redeemed you. Breathe
- 41:59Speaker 1: in and out and let your heart praise Him for
- 42:05Speaker 1: redeeming your life. His tender mercies are new every morning.
- 42:14Speaker 1: He has crowned you with love and mercy. Feel the
- 42:20Speaker 1: crown of love that He has placed on your head.
- 42:25Speaker 1: He fills your life with goodness, So embrace those wonderful
- 42:31Speaker 1: blessings that you have received from His hand. Holy God,
- 42:39Speaker 1: Thank you so much for showering your loved one with blessings.
- 42:45Speaker 1: Please continue to crown them with good things. Let them
- 42:50Speaker 1: know you are in the room. You are in their heart.
- 42:57Speaker 1: Your angels are all around and protecting, guarding, hovering in
- 43:06Speaker 1: Jesus's holy name. And now, as I close with our
- 43:13Speaker 1: final verses from Psalm one O three, rest in perfect
- 43:18Speaker 1: peace tonight, breathing in and out, in and out, fully
- 43:31Speaker 1: relaxed and at peace. Your youth is renewed like the eagles.
- 43:40Speaker 1: The Lord gives righteousness and justice to you. Righteousness and justice.
- 43:50Speaker 1: Let those words sink deeply into your mind, your heart,
- 43:56Speaker 1: your soul. God's righteousness, peace and life are given to you. Tonight. Relax, sleep,
- 44:14Speaker 1: dream of God's goodness. You will awaken renewed by the
- 44:21Speaker 1: Lord himself, ready to face the day with strength and vitality.
- 44:30Speaker 1: Breathe deeper, now fully relaxed, completely at ease. Relax. You
- 44:44Speaker 1: can know that you are protected. Release, you can know
- 44:52Speaker 1: that you are loved.
- 44:56Speaker 3: Refresh.
- 44:58Speaker 1: You can sleep in perfect peace. You can dream of
- 45:04Speaker 1: God's goodness, righteousness and provision. Lord God, surround this cherished
- 45:14Speaker 1: person with your loving presence in peace and holiness. Cover
- 45:20Speaker 1: them as your angels protect them, help them rest deeply
- 45:28Speaker 1: and sleep through the night. Help them to sense your
- 45:36Speaker 1: loving kindness and goodness as they dream. In Jesus's holy name,
- 45:42Speaker 1: I pray, Amen, Would you pray with me, Heavenly Father,
- 45:58Speaker 1: thank you for being with us now now, and thank
- 46:01Speaker 1: you for the good gift of rest. We are tired
- 46:06Speaker 1: and in need of your renewal. Be present with us
- 46:11Speaker 1: as we sleep, and protect us through the hours of
- 46:15Speaker 1: the night, so that we, who are wearied by the
- 46:19Speaker 1: changes and chances of this life, may rest in your
- 46:24Speaker 1: eternal changelessness. We pray this in the name of Jesus. Amen. Now,
- 46:36Speaker 1: before we read from God's word, let's make sure you're comfortable,
- 46:42Speaker 1: adjust the lights or the blankets if you need to,
- 46:47Speaker 1: and let's take just a few minutes for progressive muscle
- 46:50Speaker 1: relaxation to get your body ready to sleep. We're going
- 46:57Speaker 1: to tense muscle groups to time, holding the tension for
- 47:03Speaker 1: about five seconds, then exhaling and letting that muscle group
- 47:10Speaker 1: fully relax for ten to twenty seconds before you move
- 47:15Speaker 1: on to the next muscle group. Research has shown that
- 47:19Speaker 1: this technique offers a range of benefits, including pain relief
- 47:24Speaker 1: and better sleep. It may also reduce migraines and systolic
- 47:28Speaker 1: blood pressure. So begin by lifting your toes upward, tensing
- 47:36Speaker 1: your muscles. Hold, then let go. Now pull your toes downward.
- 48:00Speaker 1: Hold then let go. Good. Next, tense your calf muscles. Hold,
- 48:27Speaker 1: then let go move your knees toward each other. Hold,
- 48:47Speaker 1: then let go. Now squeeze your thigh muscles. Hold. Then
- 49:07Speaker 1: let go clench your hands paws. Now let go squeeze
- 49:37Speaker 1: your buttocks. Hold, then let go contract your abdominal muscles. Hold.
- 50:02Speaker 1: Now let go inhale and tighten your chest. Hold. Now
- 50:22Speaker 1: exhale and let go raise your shoulders to your ears.
- 50:36Speaker 3: Hold.
- 50:42Speaker 1: Now let go purse your lips together. Hold. Then let
- 51:01Speaker 1: go open your mouth wide. Hold, then let go close
- 51:30Speaker 1: your eyes tightly. Hold now release good. Let your whole
- 51:53Speaker 1: body relax, warm and loose as you rest in safety
- 52:02Speaker 1: and pray with the psalmist. God. When my anxious thoughts
- 52:08Speaker 1: multiply within me, your comforts delight me. What comforts has
- 52:15Speaker 1: God given you? Or in another translation, Lord, when doubts
- 52:30Speaker 1: fill my mind, when my heart is in turmoil, quiet
- 52:35Speaker 1: me and give me renewed hope and cheer. Heavenly Father
- 52:42Speaker 1: All good gifts come from you, all hope and all cheer,
- 52:48Speaker 1: all comforts and consolations. Thank you for sending your son, Jesus.
- 52:56Speaker 1: Thank you for sending your spirit to abide with you,
- 53:00Speaker 1: your precious child. Help them tonight to abide in you,
- 53:06Speaker 1: to trade their worries and sorrows for your peace and
- 53:12Speaker 1: your joy. May your spirit minister to them as they sleep,
- 53:19Speaker 1: Give them the gifts of deep rest and true renewal.
- 53:26Speaker 1: It's in the name of Jesus. I pray, Amen, let
- 53:36Speaker 1: your breathing stay slow and steady. As I read parts
- 53:40Speaker 1: of Philippians for where Paul writes, do not be anxious
- 53:46Speaker 1: about anything, but in every situation I prayer and petition
- 53:54Speaker 1: with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace
- 53:59Speaker 1: of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts
- 54:06Speaker 1: and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers and sisters,
- 54:13Speaker 1: whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever
- 54:22Speaker 1: is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable, if anything
- 54:31Speaker 1: is excellent or praiseworthy, think about such things.
- 54:38Speaker 2: God.
- 54:39Speaker 1: We want to think on the things that you have
- 54:42Speaker 1: called lovely and good. Whatsoever is true, Jesus says, I
- 54:54Speaker 1: am the truth. The truth shines like light that the
- 55:00Speaker 1: darkness cannot overcome, like the sun brilliant on a summer's
- 55:07Speaker 1: day at the coast, the sun sparkles on the water
- 55:11Speaker 1: and warms your skin. If you clamber up from the
- 55:15Speaker 1: soft white beaches to the rocky cliffs, you can see
- 55:20Speaker 1: the sun lighting the landscape for miles and miles. The
- 55:26Speaker 1: truth shines like the sun, and the truth burns like
- 55:30Speaker 1: a fire that will never go out, like a beech
- 55:34Speaker 1: camp fire that keeps you warm as you rest next
- 55:37Speaker 1: to it, gazing at the multitude of stars overhead. The
- 55:43Speaker 1: air is only slightly chilly, and the fire is just right.
- 55:50Speaker 1: This fire burns away all falsehoods and warms you with
- 55:55Speaker 1: its truth. Whatsoever is noble? What if there was a
- 56:05Speaker 1: king and queen who never abused their power? Can you
- 56:10Speaker 1: imagine monarchs who aren't noble because they were born to
- 56:13Speaker 1: the right parents or owned the right land, but whose
- 56:17Speaker 1: character was all goodness and kindness. These monarchs would not
- 56:24Speaker 1: wear costly royal robes while their subjects starved. They would
- 56:30Speaker 1: cast off the trappings of nobility and exchange them for
- 56:33Speaker 1: true nobility of character, sharing their riches so that all
- 56:39Speaker 1: in the kingdom could flourish together. Their lands would be
- 56:43Speaker 1: fruitful with crops, Their people live in peace and freedom.
- 56:54Speaker 1: Whatsoever is right? Imagine after hours of being turned around,
- 57:01Speaker 1: making wrong turns, and getting stuck in gridlock traffic, finding
- 57:06Speaker 1: yourself on the right road. There's not a doubt in
- 57:11Speaker 1: anyone's mind. This is the way, and the road is
- 57:16Speaker 1: open before you, green fields on either side, the shadows
- 57:21Speaker 1: of mountains in the distance. You're not in a rush.
- 57:27Speaker 1: This is the way. You'll get there when the time
- 57:30Speaker 1: is right. So for now, you roll down the windows,
- 57:36Speaker 1: turn up the music, and sing along. The air smells
- 57:41Speaker 1: like fresh cut grass and honeysuckle, and the radio is
- 57:45Speaker 1: playing songs you all know the words too. A person
- 57:49Speaker 1: you love is in the front seat next to you.
- 57:52Speaker 1: This is the place God has appointed for you, and
- 57:56Speaker 1: it feels right in every way. Whatsoever is pure? Pure,
- 58:09Speaker 1: Like the first snowfall of the season, thick flakes drifting
- 58:14Speaker 1: softly from the sky, making the world soft and quiet.
- 58:19Speaker 1: The air smells clean and cold, and as the hours pass,
- 58:25Speaker 1: the whole world turns white. Outside your window, you see
- 58:31Speaker 1: neighbors bringing their toddler out to play. She's bundled up
- 58:36Speaker 1: all roly poly and puffy snow clothes, hats and mittens
- 58:40Speaker 1: and boots. It's her first snow. Is this a sand castle?
- 58:45Speaker 1: She asks her mom, who smiles. She touches it, tastes it,
- 58:52Speaker 1: lies down next to her mom as they wave arms
- 58:56Speaker 1: and legs, making angels in the snow. The purity of
- 59:01Speaker 1: the landscape, the purity of delight in Jesus, You are
- 59:09Speaker 1: made pure like that, washed white as snow. God's delight
- 59:15Speaker 1: in you is as pure as that. Whatever is lovely.
- 59:38Speaker 1: Have you ever seen a couple married for decades and
- 59:41Speaker 1: decades still in love? Picture them pushing nightie. They don't
- 59:48Speaker 1: move quickly. Their faces are lined, their skin droops, their
- 59:53Speaker 1: shoulders round forward, their hair what's left of it, white
- 59:59Speaker 1: and thin. But when they look at each other they
- 1:00:04Speaker 1: see all those things, but they don't really see them,
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: because they know each other inside and out. They see
- 1:00:14Speaker 1: who they were at twenty and at thirty five and
- 1:00:19Speaker 1: at sixty. They see each other not just their bodies,
- 1:00:25Speaker 1: but their souls. They love not just because they're lovely,
- 1:00:31Speaker 1: but because the long practice of loving each other has
- 1:00:36Speaker 1: made them lovely. Holding on to each other, they head
- 1:00:43Speaker 1: out for their daily walk around the lake where they practice,
- 1:00:46Speaker 1: beholding all the lovely things that God has made, the
- 1:00:51Speaker 1: loon calling out the silvery flash of fish under the water,
- 1:00:57Speaker 1: the soft dark soil of the past, the tall trees
- 1:01:02Speaker 1: that existed before they did and will continue to shade
- 1:01:06Speaker 1: this path when they're gone. Whatever is admirable, excellent, praiseworthy.
- 1:01:19Speaker 1: Think on these things. Let the Spirit bring to mind
- 1:01:25Speaker 1: those things in your life that are praiseworthy. The people,
- 1:01:32Speaker 1: the gifts of food, shelter, companionship, the things that are
- 1:01:39Speaker 1: truly excellent gifts of a loving father God. All good
- 1:01:48Speaker 1: and perfect gifts come from You. I pray with the
- 1:01:52Speaker 1: Psalmist when I thought my foot is slipping, Your steadfast love,
- 1:01:59Speaker 1: Oh Lord, held me up. When the cares of my
- 1:02:03Speaker 1: heart are many. Your consolations cheer my soul. Help me
- 1:02:11Speaker 1: to fix my thoughts on You, to trust you, and
- 1:02:16Speaker 1: to rest in the truth that through Jesus I have
- 1:02:20Speaker 1: been saved. Seem deeply into sleep as I read the
- 1:02:39Speaker 1: Truth from Philippians one final time. Fix your thoughts on
- 1:02:46Speaker 1: what is true and good and right. Think about things
- 1:02:52Speaker 1: that are pure and lovely, and dwell on the fine
- 1:02:56Speaker 1: good things in others. Think about all you can praise
- 1:03:02Speaker 1: God for and be glad about. Holy Spirit. Dwell richly
- 1:03:10Speaker 1: in this child tonight, abide in them as they abide
- 1:03:16Speaker 1: in you. May this child sleep in your peace tonight
- 1:03:22Speaker 1: and rise up in the morning ready to seek you again.
- 1:03:34Speaker 1: As you hear this prayer from Psalm fifty one, feel
- 1:03:37Speaker 1: yourself relaxing, falling back, and surrendering yourself into the loving
- 1:03:42Speaker 1: and forgiving arms of Jesus, releasing the weight of your
- 1:03:47Speaker 1: worldly cares as you focus on the lightness of the gospel,
- 1:03:52Speaker 1: the good news of the death, burial, and resurrection of
- 1:03:56Speaker 1: your Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Let me pray for
- 1:04:00Speaker 1: you now, Oh peaceful and heavenly Father, You give this one,
- 1:04:07Speaker 1: your child, sleep for the refreshing of their soul and body.
- 1:04:12Speaker 1: Grant this one this gift tonight. I pray keep them
- 1:04:16Speaker 1: in that perfect peace which you have promised to them
- 1:04:19Speaker 1: whose mind is fixed on you, And give them such
- 1:04:22Speaker 1: a sense of your presence that in these moments of
- 1:04:26Speaker 1: silence they may enjoy the blessed assurance of your love
- 1:04:30Speaker 1: through you, Oh peaceful and Loving Father, Be merciful to
- 1:04:35Speaker 1: this one, Oh God, because of your constant love, because
- 1:04:40Speaker 1: of your great mercy, wipe away their sins, wash away
- 1:04:45Speaker 1: all evil, and make them clean from their sin tonight, tonight,
- 1:04:50Speaker 1: let them hear the sounds of joy and gladness. Create
- 1:04:55Speaker 1: in them tonight a pure heart. Oh God, give them
- 1:04:58Speaker 1: again the joy that comes from your salvation. God, grant
- 1:05:04Speaker 1: this one piece so they can sleep soundlessly and awaken
- 1:05:08Speaker 1: with a renewed spirit, ready to face the day ahead.
- 1:05:12Speaker 1: In Jesus's name, Amen, feel Jesus's embrace. Feel Jesus whispering
- 1:05:20Speaker 1: his love and care for you tonight as you sleep,
- 1:05:24Speaker 1: As you continue to relax, I want you to pace
- 1:05:27Speaker 1: your breathing as I read scripture to you. As I
- 1:05:30Speaker 1: read the first part of a passage, I want you
- 1:05:33Speaker 1: to very slowly breathe in, and then as I read
- 1:05:37Speaker 1: the second part of the passage, I want you to
- 1:05:40Speaker 1: breathe out. Listen as I read from Psalm forty six,
- 1:05:45Speaker 1: breathe in slowly now as I read God is our
- 1:05:50Speaker 1: refuge and strength. Now, breathe out slowly as I read,
- 1:05:56Speaker 1: and a very present help in your times of trouble.
- 1:06:01Speaker 1: Pace your breathing in and out slowly again as I
- 1:06:04Speaker 1: pray over you. From Deuteronomy thirty one, breathe in, be
- 1:06:09Speaker 1: strong and courageous and out. Do not fear or be
- 1:06:15Speaker 1: in dread. And in slowly, for it is the Lord,
- 1:06:20Speaker 1: your God and out who goes with you.
- 1:06:27Speaker 2: In.
- 1:06:28Speaker 1: He will not leave you out or forsake you in
- 1:06:36Speaker 1: the darkness. Now feel the presence of Christ. Feel the
- 1:06:40Speaker 1: strength of his arms around you, Feel the tenderness of
- 1:06:44Speaker 1: his hands as they rest on your head. Relax into
- 1:06:49Speaker 1: his presence. Pace your breathing slowly as I pray from
- 1:06:55Speaker 1: Luke twelve. Breathing slowly, and don't be concerned dicerned about
- 1:07:00Speaker 1: what to eat or what to drink. Don't worry about
- 1:07:05Speaker 1: such things. These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers. But
- 1:07:11Speaker 1: your Father already knows your needs. Seek the Kingdom of
- 1:07:17Speaker 1: God above all else, and he will give you everything
- 1:07:21Speaker 1: you need. So don't be afraid, little one, for it
- 1:07:26Speaker 1: gives your Father great happiness to give you the kingdom.
- 1:07:32Speaker 1: Dear Peaceful Father, bless this one tonight. Bless them, give
- 1:07:38Speaker 1: them your peace, Smile upon them, and give them your
- 1:07:43Speaker 1: rest tonight in Jesus's name. Amen, Pace your breathing slowly
- 1:07:53Speaker 1: as I pray from lamentations to Lord God. Hear my
- 1:07:58Speaker 1: cry out into the night at the beginning of the night.
- 1:08:02Speaker 1: Watch help me pour out my heart like water before you.
- 1:08:09Speaker 1: Help me lift my hands to you. Dear Peaceful Father,
- 1:08:15Speaker 1: take the burdens of this your child tonight. Their burdens
- 1:08:20Speaker 1: can seem so heavy at times. Tonight, help them feel lighter,
- 1:08:26Speaker 1: more free, content, safe and loved in your arms as
- 1:08:32Speaker 1: you take their burdens. In Jesus's name, Amen, pace your
- 1:08:40Speaker 1: breathing as I pray from Psalm three and four, I
- 1:08:46Speaker 1: lay down and sleep safely in peace, with a tranquil heart.
- 1:08:54Speaker 1: I will lie down and sleep, for I am alone
- 1:08:59Speaker 1: with you, O Lord, help me dwell in safety and
- 1:09:05Speaker 1: confidence and trust in you. Dear peaceful Father, give this
- 1:09:14Speaker 1: child to night RESTful sleep, and let this time of
- 1:09:18Speaker 1: quiet meditation bring them peace, relaxation, and sleep. In your arms. Lord,
- 1:09:26Speaker 1: fill this night with your radiance for them. May they
- 1:09:31Speaker 1: sleep in peace in your name. Amen, pace your breathing
- 1:09:38Speaker 1: as I pray God's word over you. When you lie down,
- 1:09:44Speaker 1: you will not be afraid. When you lie down, your
- 1:09:49Speaker 1: sleep will be sweet. When you lie down, no one
- 1:09:54Speaker 1: will make you afraid. Many will rejoice with you. When
- 1:10:01Speaker 1: you lay down, you will be at peace. You will sleep,
- 1:10:06Speaker 1: for the Lord keeps you safe. When you lay down
- 1:10:11Speaker 1: to sleep, behold, there is an angel touching you that
- 1:10:17Speaker 1: this your sleep will be pleasant to you. Dear peaceful Father,
- 1:10:24Speaker 1: you have given this your child, an example of gentleness
- 1:10:27Speaker 1: and humility, a task that is easy and a burden
- 1:10:32Speaker 1: that is light. Except my prayers to give them the
- 1:10:36Speaker 1: rest that will strengthen them to be of more faithful
- 1:10:40Speaker 1: service to you. In Jesus's name, Amen, pace your breathing
- 1:10:46Speaker 1: as I pray from Psalm sixty two. For God alone,
- 1:10:51Speaker 1: my soul waits in silence. I quietly submit to Him,
- 1:10:57Speaker 1: for my hope is from him. He only is my rock.
- 1:11:03Speaker 1: He only is my salvation. He only is my fortress.
- 1:11:10Speaker 1: He only is my defense. I will not be shaken.
- 1:11:16Speaker 1: I will not be discouraged on God only. My salvation
- 1:11:21Speaker 1: rests on God only does my glory rest. God is
- 1:11:28Speaker 1: my rock. God is my unyielding strength. My refuge is
- 1:11:36Speaker 1: in God alone. I trust confidently in Him at all times.
- 1:11:43Speaker 1: O God, help me help me sleep, Help me pour
- 1:11:49Speaker 1: out my soul. Be my refuge. Pace your breathing as
- 1:11:57Speaker 1: I pray from Isaiah twenty six. God will keep you
- 1:12:01Speaker 1: in perfect and constant peace. Tonight. God will make your
- 1:12:06Speaker 1: minds steadfast, committed, focused on Him tonight. Trust God tonight
- 1:12:13Speaker 1: with your sleep, take refuge in God's loving arms tonight.
- 1:12:17Speaker 1: As you see sleep, be confident in the arms of
- 1:12:22Speaker 1: your savior. Tonight, Trust confidently in God forever. God is
- 1:12:28Speaker 1: your fortress. God is your shield. God is your banner.
- 1:12:35Speaker 1: God is everlasting. He is your protector tonight. He is
- 1:12:42Speaker 1: your rock for all time. Dear peaceful and RESTful Father,
- 1:12:50Speaker 1: bring this one your child, rest and sleep tonight. Keep
- 1:12:56Speaker 1: them from tossing, keep them from turning. Lord, God you
- 1:13:01Speaker 1: never sleep. Lord, God you never slumber. So watch over
- 1:13:07Speaker 1: this your child tonight as they sleep. Bring peace to
- 1:13:12Speaker 1: their churning mind. Comfort their mind from spinning, soothe their heart.
- 1:13:20Speaker 1: Calm them tonight. Give them sweet rest in your arms
- 1:13:25Speaker 1: in Jesus's name, Amen, pace your breathing as I pray
- 1:13:32Speaker 1: from Psalm ninety one. God is covering you tonight. God
- 1:13:38Speaker 1: is completely protecting you with his strength. You are protected
- 1:13:43Speaker 1: under his wings. Tonight. You can find rest under His wings. Tonight.
- 1:13:51Speaker 1: You can find refuge in the loving arms of God tonight.
- 1:13:56Speaker 1: God's faithfulness is your shield. Tonight, God's faithfulness is a
- 1:14:02Speaker 1: wall protecting you from harm. So you can rest tonight
- 1:14:08Speaker 1: in God's presence. Tonight, in God's arms, you have no
- 1:14:13Speaker 1: need of fear. Tonight you are in the presence and
- 1:14:18Speaker 1: resting in the arms of the creator of the universe. Tonight,
- 1:14:25Speaker 1: Dear peaceful and RESTful Father, Let this resting child feel
- 1:14:29Speaker 1: your wings over them tonight as they rest. Let this
- 1:14:34Speaker 1: sleeping child feel the shield of your arms protecting them
- 1:14:37Speaker 1: from fear and harm. To night, Let this peaceful soul
- 1:14:42Speaker 1: feel the wall protecting them from harm to night, the
- 1:14:46Speaker 1: wall built lovingly by you, the creator of the universe,
- 1:14:51Speaker 1: the creator that sits now by the side of this
- 1:14:54Speaker 1: child as they sleep. In Jesus's name, Amen, hace your
- 1:15:02Speaker 1: breathing as you listen to the story from Luke eight.
- 1:15:06Speaker 1: Breathe slowly and deeply. As you imagine yourself in the boat.
- 1:15:12Speaker 1: Jesus and his disciples are all around you. You hear
- 1:15:16Speaker 1: Jesus tell you to prepare, prepare to cross over the
- 1:15:21Speaker 1: Sea of Galilee. You watch as Jesus falls asleep. Jesus,
- 1:15:28Speaker 1: your Savior, curls up in the boat to sleep. You
- 1:15:32Speaker 1: sit next to him. You lean on him as your
- 1:15:36Speaker 1: savior rests. The wind begins to hit your face, the
- 1:15:42Speaker 1: spray from the waves. You begin to feel water at
- 1:15:46Speaker 1: your feet. You wake up your Master, who is sleeping.
- 1:15:52Speaker 1: You see the look of peace in his eyes. You
- 1:15:56Speaker 1: are in awe of that peace. Jesus waves his hands,
- 1:16:02Speaker 1: perhaps without taking his eyes off of you. You feel
- 1:16:06Speaker 1: the wind stop. The waves are gone. Jesus whispers to you,
- 1:16:13Speaker 1: my child. Have faith in me, my child, believe in me.
- 1:16:21Speaker 1: You feel yourself falling asleep in his arms as his
- 1:16:25Speaker 1: peace surrounds you. Dear peaceful and RESTful Father, give this
- 1:16:33Speaker 1: child to night your faith. Give this child to night
- 1:16:37Speaker 1: your peace. No wind in their face, no mist from waves,
- 1:16:44Speaker 1: no water at their feet. Let them hear your peaceful voice.
- 1:16:50Speaker 1: Let them hear your loving voice, your powerful, protecting voice,
- 1:16:57Speaker 1: a voice that calm storms, a voice that brings peace,
- 1:17:03Speaker 1: a voice that brings rest. Sleep. Haste your breathing as
- 1:17:12Speaker 1: you listen to the word of God being prayed softly
- 1:17:15Speaker 1: over you. Breathe slow and deep as you hear God's
- 1:17:21Speaker 1: words for you tonight as you lay down to sleep,
- 1:17:26Speaker 1: Do not be afraid to night. As you lay down tonight,
- 1:17:32Speaker 1: let your sleep be sweet in peace. God will be
- 1:17:38Speaker 1: with you tonight as you sleep, you are not alone.
- 1:17:44Speaker 1: God is with you, and you will be safe. As
- 1:17:47Speaker 1: you sleep tonight, God will give you his beloved peaceful
- 1:17:54Speaker 1: sleep to night. God will give you sleep. God will
- 1:18:01Speaker 1: give you slumber. He will fold your hands as you rest.
- 1:18:07Speaker 1: You will lie down to rest tonight. You will rest peacefully.
- 1:18:13Speaker 1: You will wake up in the morning fresh, for the
- 1:18:15Speaker 1: Lord sustains and cares for you. God will not let
- 1:18:21Speaker 1: you move tonight. You will be at peace. He will
- 1:18:26Speaker 1: be there for you all night. Because God does not
- 1:18:30Speaker 1: slumber or sleep, He stays with you so that you
- 1:18:36Speaker 1: can sleep. Dear peaceful Father, thank you for your peace,
- 1:18:42Speaker 1: your care, your love, your mercy, your salvation. As this
- 1:18:49Speaker 1: child of yours fine sleep tonight as they sleep, let
- 1:18:55Speaker 1: them feel your presence over them. Let them sleep under yours.
- 1:19:01Speaker 1: And it is in Jesus's name I pray over them. Amen.
- 1:19:14Speaker 1: After a long day, this bedtime story is here to
- 1:19:18Speaker 1: help you remember and rest in truths that come straight
- 1:19:22Speaker 1: from God's word. This series, called I Am is written
- 1:19:27Speaker 1: to offer you thoughtful affirmations and reminders of who you
- 1:19:32Speaker 1: are in Christ, simple statements that allow your heart to
- 1:19:36Speaker 1: remember and affirm what is most true May you rest
- 1:19:42Speaker 1: peacefully as you are reminded tonight that you are secure
- 1:19:47Speaker 1: in Christ. Tonight you will hear the affirmation that you
- 1:19:54Speaker 1: are secure in Christ. Nothing can separate you from the
- 1:20:00Speaker 1: love of God. Nothing can snatch you from the hand
- 1:20:04Speaker 1: of the Father. Although trial and struggle may cause you
- 1:20:10Speaker 1: to fear and question, your place is with God, and
- 1:20:16Speaker 1: it is secure because of the work of Jesus Christ. Okay,
- 1:20:23Speaker 1: before we begin our story, let's find a comfortable position
- 1:20:28Speaker 1: to fall asleep in. Let your shoulders settle into your bed.
- 1:20:36Speaker 1: Just your hips and point and flex your toes once
- 1:20:42Speaker 1: or twice. Now, let the stress of your day evaporate.
- 1:20:50Speaker 1: This day has come to a close and all that
- 1:20:54Speaker 1: could be done is done. Let the anxiety and con
- 1:21:00Speaker 1: concern of unfinished tasks sit neatly on the floor until tomorrow,
- 1:21:06Speaker 1: completely out of your thoughts. As you allow your heart
- 1:21:10Speaker 1: and soul and mind to rest, reflect for just a
- 1:21:18Speaker 1: moment on the reality that you serve a God who
- 1:21:22Speaker 1: does not need sleep. As Psalm one hundred twenty one says,
- 1:21:29Speaker 1: my help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven
- 1:21:33Speaker 1: and earth. Indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither
- 1:21:40Speaker 1: slumber nor sleep His power never dampens, and his sovereignty
- 1:21:48Speaker 1: never rests. He is all sufficient, and his sufficiency is
- 1:21:55Speaker 1: enough for you. Take a slow, peaceful breath, good, acknowledge
- 1:22:08Speaker 1: the nearness of God as you lie down to sleep,
- 1:22:12Speaker 1: and commune with Him as your day comes to a close.
- 1:22:18Speaker 1: Let's pray, Heavenly Father. I look to you as my
- 1:22:24Speaker 1: refuge and stronghold. It is in you that I find
- 1:22:29Speaker 1: peace and security. With so much around me that is
- 1:22:34Speaker 1: insecure and unstable, I recognize the gift it is to
- 1:22:39Speaker 1: find security in you. God, be near to me as
- 1:22:45Speaker 1: I rest. King Jesus, let your presence fill this room
- 1:22:51Speaker 1: and bring peace and protection. Remind me of what is true,
- 1:22:59Speaker 1: and let my dream lead me into your courts. I
- 1:23:03Speaker 1: give thanks Jesus for your promises and grace. In Christ alone,
- 1:23:09Speaker 1: I pray Amen. When Jesus spoke to his followers about
- 1:23:20Speaker 1: what it meant to be in relationship with him, he
- 1:23:24Speaker 1: used unique language and imagery. Such imagery had the power
- 1:23:30Speaker 1: to shift what one once believed about the relationship between
- 1:23:34Speaker 1: God and man and to bring an even deeper, more
- 1:23:39Speaker 1: intimate understanding. It is the wonder and power of a
- 1:23:46Speaker 1: God who walks alongside his people a God who enters
- 1:23:53Speaker 1: into their world and makes a way for them to
- 1:23:56Speaker 1: know and follow and find secure in him. Dear one,
- 1:24:04Speaker 1: as you continue this story tonight, let this affirmation wash
- 1:24:10Speaker 1: over you. You are secure in Christ. You are secure
- 1:24:20Speaker 1: because Jesus has chosen you, and he will never let
- 1:24:25Speaker 1: you go. In John chapter ten, we find these words
- 1:24:32Speaker 1: spoken by Jesus about his followers. My sheep listen to
- 1:24:38Speaker 1: my voice. I know them, and they follow me. I
- 1:24:44Speaker 1: give them eternal life, and they shall never perish. No
- 1:24:50Speaker 1: one will snatch them out of my hand. My father,
- 1:24:56Speaker 1: who has given them to me, is greater than all.
- 1:25:02Speaker 1: No one can snatch them out of my father's hand.
- 1:25:07Speaker 1: I and the Father are one. Let yourself be carried away,
- 1:25:15Speaker 1: far from the bedroom in which you find yourself resting tonight,
- 1:25:19Speaker 1: to the rolling kelly green hills of Ireland. Picture yourself
- 1:25:27Speaker 1: journeying down the dirt path, rugged and dusty beneath your feet.
- 1:25:33Speaker 1: You walk from miles, amazed at the beauty all around you.
- 1:25:41Speaker 1: You follow along the three feet high stone walls unique
- 1:25:45Speaker 1: to Ireland that line the streets. You wonder how they
- 1:25:51Speaker 1: seem to effortlessly flow for miles and miles. Look around
- 1:25:59Speaker 1: admire the richness of the bright green rolling hills that
- 1:26:04Speaker 1: span for acres upon acres, covering the expanse of the
- 1:26:09Speaker 1: space before you. The rich blue sky above only serves
- 1:26:14Speaker 1: to contrast the color of the earth, with round white
- 1:26:19Speaker 1: clouds punctuating the sky above. As you round a corner,
- 1:26:25Speaker 1: you come upon a field with hundreds of sheep, raising
- 1:26:29Speaker 1: peacefully as they meander through the pasture. Intrigued and drawn
- 1:26:35Speaker 1: to the simplicity of the herd, you decide to sit
- 1:26:40Speaker 1: on the stone wall next to the field. The hard,
- 1:26:44Speaker 1: warm rock beneath you provides a welcome resting place from
- 1:26:49Speaker 1: your miles of walking. You take a deep breath, breathing
- 1:26:56Speaker 1: in the freshness of the air around you. Thank you
- 1:27:00Speaker 1: for the relief brought by your rest. Feel the warmth
- 1:27:04Speaker 1: of the sun on your skin, the drip of sweat
- 1:27:09Speaker 1: rolling down your brow. After sitting for a few minutes,
- 1:27:15Speaker 1: you hear a faint voice. It's quite far away, unsure
- 1:27:22Speaker 1: who is speaking, are where exactly the voice is coming from.
- 1:27:28Speaker 1: You think nothing of it, but then something begins to happen.
- 1:27:36Speaker 1: You notice that the sheep have begun to move. They
- 1:27:40Speaker 1: stopped their grazing and instantly lifted their heads, turning their
- 1:27:45Speaker 1: attention to the direction of the voice. Right away, albeit slowly,
- 1:27:53Speaker 1: they all begin to walk away from the wall on
- 1:27:56Speaker 1: which you sit, hundreds of sheep moving in the same direction.
- 1:28:03Speaker 1: And that's when you hear the voice again. The voice
- 1:28:09Speaker 1: is calling a series of intonations, loudly and consistently, and
- 1:28:14Speaker 1: the sheep, once scattered all across the pasture, have now
- 1:28:20Speaker 1: perked up and are walking towards the voice. My sheep
- 1:28:27Speaker 1: listen to my voice. I know them, and they follow me.
- 1:28:34Speaker 1: I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish.
- 1:28:41Speaker 1: No one will snatch them out of my hand. My father,
- 1:28:47Speaker 1: who has given them to me, is greater than all.
- 1:28:53Speaker 1: No one can snatch them out of my Father's hand.
- 1:29:00Speaker 1: You are secure. You are secure in the arms of
- 1:29:08Speaker 1: your Father. As the sheep followed instinctively the voice of
- 1:29:14Speaker 1: their shepherd, so you also have a voice calling to you.
- 1:29:21Speaker 1: It is the voice of your beloved Shepherd, the savior
- 1:29:25Speaker 1: of your heart, the one in whom you find peace
- 1:29:30Speaker 1: and grace and above all security. You have the voice
- 1:29:38Speaker 1: of Jesus that calls to you, that speaks forgiveness and love,
- 1:29:45Speaker 1: that affirms your security and beckons you to follow in him.
- 1:29:54Speaker 1: You are secure. You need not fear that something might
- 1:30:00Speaker 1: come against you and take you out of his loving arms. Indeed,
- 1:30:05Speaker 1: nothing can affect your belonging. You are secure because of
- 1:30:11Speaker 1: the promises of Jesus. No one will snatch them out
- 1:30:16Speaker 1: of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me,
- 1:30:22Speaker 1: is greater than all. No one can snatch them out
- 1:30:27Speaker 1: of my Father's hand. The sheep have learned to follow
- 1:30:33Speaker 1: the voice of their shepherd because of the faithful protection
- 1:30:37Speaker 1: and provision that he has given to them. Now think
- 1:30:42Speaker 1: how much more has your great Shepherd been faithful to
- 1:30:47Speaker 1: protect and provide for you. You are his and no
- 1:30:53Speaker 1: one can snatch you out of his hand. You are
- 1:31:00Speaker 1: secure when you feel insecure. Repeat the affirmation I am
- 1:31:10Speaker 1: secure in Christ. When you feel uncertain, repeat the affirmation
- 1:31:20Speaker 1: I am secure in Christ. When you feel lost or confused,
- 1:31:28Speaker 1: repeat the affirmation I am secure in Christ. When you're wandering, meandering, unsure,
- 1:31:41Speaker 1: listen for the voice of your shepherd. It's a voice
- 1:31:45Speaker 1: you know so well. Hause, lift your head and follow
- 1:31:52Speaker 1: the voice of your shepherd. He is faithful to lead you,
- 1:31:57Speaker 1: and you are secure in him. My sheep, listen to
- 1:32:05Speaker 1: my voice. I know them, and they follow me. I
- 1:32:11Speaker 1: give them eternal life, and they shall never perish. No
- 1:32:18Speaker 1: one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father,
- 1:32:24Speaker 1: who has given them to me, is greater than all.
- 1:32:30Speaker 1: No one can snatch them out of my Father's hand.
- 1:32:36Speaker 1: Let's pray, Father, God, we find great comfort in the
- 1:32:42Speaker 1: presence of your guiding voice. May it be a voice
- 1:32:46Speaker 1: that always sounds familiar, a voice we are always faithful
- 1:32:52Speaker 1: to follow, a voice worthy of our trust and obedience.
- 1:33:00Speaker 1: We love you, Jesus. Amen, dear friend. As you doze
- 1:33:08Speaker 1: off to sleep, receive this blessing from God's word from
- 1:33:14Speaker 1: First Thessalonians three, verse twelve. May the Lord make you
- 1:33:20Speaker 1: increase and abound in love for one another and for all,
- 1:33:26Speaker 1: as we do for you, so that He may establish
- 1:33:30Speaker 1: your hearts blameless in holiness before God and Father at
- 1:33:36Speaker 1: the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints
- 1:33:42Speaker 1: our prayer for you. May peaceful rest be your comfort tonight,
- 1:33:49Speaker 1: and may you wake in the morning confident of your
- 1:33:53Speaker 1: security in Christ. It's God's will for you to be well,
- 1:34:14Speaker 1: healthy and strong. So join me in agreement as I
- 1:34:18Speaker 1: pray these healing scriptures over your body, and believe that
- 1:34:22Speaker 1: God is healing and strengthening you now, precious heavenly Father,
- 1:34:28Speaker 1: I know that you fearfully and wonderfully made my body,
- 1:34:31Speaker 1: and that nothing is too difficult for you. Thank you
- 1:34:35Speaker 1: for caring about my physical health. According to Isaiah fifty
- 1:34:40Speaker 1: three five, you were pierced for my transgressions and crushed
- 1:34:44Speaker 1: for my iniquities. The punishment that brought me peace was
- 1:34:49Speaker 1: on you, and by your wounds, I am healed as
- 1:34:54Speaker 1: your child. God. Healing is my right and my inher heritance. Sickness, disease,
- 1:35:03Speaker 1: and pain have no hold on me. When Jesus walked
- 1:35:08Speaker 1: this earth, he healed, delivered, and set people free. And
- 1:35:13Speaker 1: Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever. I declare
- 1:35:20Speaker 1: from Psalm one hundred three that I praise you Lord.
- 1:35:25Speaker 1: I remember all your benefits. You forgive all my sins
- 1:35:30Speaker 1: and heal all my diseases. You redeem my life from
- 1:35:35Speaker 1: the pit and crown me with love and compassion. I
- 1:35:40Speaker 1: receive your healing over my body, from the top of
- 1:35:44Speaker 1: my head to the bottom of my feet. I declare
- 1:35:49Speaker 1: that every cell, tissue, and organ function according to your
- 1:35:55Speaker 1: perfect will. Philippians too says that no name is greater
- 1:36:01Speaker 1: than Jesus's name. So I declare the name of Jesus
- 1:36:06Speaker 1: over my body, my blood, my organs, and every system
- 1:36:12Speaker 1: and process in my body. I declare the name of
- 1:36:17Speaker 1: Jesus over every disease and diagnosis that has been spoken
- 1:36:21Speaker 1: over me. They are rendered powerless and I am free.
- 1:36:28Speaker 1: I rebuke every weapon and device of the enemy that
- 1:36:31Speaker 1: is trying to defeat and discourage me. I am not
- 1:36:36Speaker 1: obligated to what others speak over me. I am only
- 1:36:41Speaker 1: obligated to the Word of God and the Kingdom of God.
- 1:36:45Speaker 1: There is no room for disease, illness, pain, or sickness
- 1:36:49Speaker 1: in God's kingdom. Your word is truth. Send your word,
- 1:36:56Speaker 1: Lord and heal me. Rescue me from the grave. Heal me, Lord,
- 1:37:03Speaker 1: and I will be healed. Save me and I will
- 1:37:07Speaker 1: be saved. For you are the one I praise. Receive
- 1:37:13Speaker 1: glory as you fulfill your word in my life. I
- 1:37:17Speaker 1: receive your life, healing and wholeness into every fiber of
- 1:37:22Speaker 1: my being, into my brain, my digestive system, my circulatory system,
- 1:37:27Speaker 1: and reproductive system. Let your healing power overtake my kidneys, liver, lungs,
- 1:37:35Speaker 1: and heart. Restore every muscle, tendon, ligament, bone, and nerve,
- 1:37:41Speaker 1: so that I can move freely without pain. Strengthen my
- 1:37:46Speaker 1: elimination system and help it to effectively and efficiently remove
- 1:37:51Speaker 1: all toxins from my body. Let every single gland, thyroid, adrenal,
- 1:37:58Speaker 1: sex glands, hypothe thalamus, pituitary function perfectly in conjunction with
- 1:38:04Speaker 1: each other. I rebuke every form of sickness and disease
- 1:38:10Speaker 1: from my body. I declare from Psalm ninety one that
- 1:38:14Speaker 1: the Lord is my refuge and fortress, and I trust
- 1:38:19Speaker 1: him to protect me from all harm. He is faithful
- 1:38:24Speaker 1: to shield me from every snare and deadly illness. Because
- 1:38:30Speaker 1: I love the Lord, he will rescue and protect me.
- 1:38:34Speaker 1: For I acknowledge his name. When I call on him,
- 1:38:40Speaker 1: he will answer me. He will be with me in
- 1:38:45Speaker 1: trouble and will deliver me and honor me with long life.
- 1:38:51Speaker 1: He will satisfy me and show me his salvation. Amen,
- 1:39:02Speaker 1: as I pray this healing prayer over your body, remember
- 1:39:06Speaker 1: that God is your healer and nothing is too difficult
- 1:39:10Speaker 1: for him. Agree with me now for your healing.
- 1:39:15Speaker 2: Father.
- 1:39:17Speaker 1: You are holy and righteous in all your ways. And
- 1:39:21Speaker 1: I declare Jeremiah thirty or seventeen over my body. You
- 1:39:27Speaker 1: are restoring me to health and healing my wounds. According
- 1:39:33Speaker 1: to Jeremiah seventeen, heal me, O, Lord, and I will
- 1:39:38Speaker 1: be healed. Save me, and I will be saved. For
- 1:39:43Speaker 1: you are the one I praise. Romans eight, verse eleven says,
- 1:39:49Speaker 1: the same spirit that raised Christ Jesus from the dead
- 1:39:52Speaker 1: is living and dwelling in me. And this same spirit
- 1:39:58Speaker 1: is giving life to my mortal body. Resurrection, life, healing, life,
- 1:40:04Speaker 1: and wholeness. I confess that every cell, organ, tissue, and
- 1:40:10Speaker 1: system is being filled with the life of God and
- 1:40:15Speaker 1: is being completely renewed and restored. I declare that the
- 1:40:20Speaker 1: blood of Jesus is pumping through my veins and pushing
- 1:40:24Speaker 1: out every trace of illness, disease, and pain. Right now,
- 1:40:31Speaker 1: I speak third John two over myself. I pray that
- 1:40:35Speaker 1: I would enjoy good health and that all may go
- 1:40:39Speaker 1: well and with me, even as my soul is getting
- 1:40:42Speaker 1: along well, as it says in Isaiah forty, Lord, you
- 1:40:48Speaker 1: give strength to me when I'm weary, and you increase
- 1:40:52Speaker 1: my power when I feel weak. I receive your supernatural
- 1:40:57Speaker 1: strength into my natural body in this moment, and I
- 1:41:02Speaker 1: expect to feel your power and energy invigorating me in
- 1:41:06Speaker 1: every way. Thank you God for restoring me to health
- 1:41:12Speaker 1: and healing my wounds as you promise in Jeremiah thirty. Specifically,
- 1:41:19Speaker 1: I ask for your healing to my sinuses, lungs, an
- 1:41:23Speaker 1: entire respiratory system. I receive strength in my immune system
- 1:41:28Speaker 1: to fight off every sickness and disease that comes against me.
- 1:41:33Speaker 1: I declare that my heart is strong and healthy, and
- 1:41:38Speaker 1: that my circulation works perfectly. My hormonal system is completely
- 1:41:44Speaker 1: balanced and functions exactly the way it's supposed to. I
- 1:41:50Speaker 1: rebuke all pain, headaches, migrains, back pain, chest pain, arthritic pain,
- 1:41:58Speaker 1: tooth pain, joint and mud, muscle pain, cramps, and tendonitis.
- 1:42:04Speaker 1: Psalm forty one says that you deliver the weak in
- 1:42:08Speaker 1: times of trouble. You protect and preserve them and call
- 1:42:13Speaker 1: them blessed. You don't give them over to the desire
- 1:42:18Speaker 1: of their foes. You sustain them on their sick bed
- 1:42:23Speaker 1: and restore them from their bed of illness. I receive
- 1:42:28Speaker 1: this promise as my own, Lord, your sustaining me and
- 1:42:35Speaker 1: restoring me to health. God, you are my refuge and
- 1:42:42Speaker 1: my fortress, my God in whom I trust. Healing is right,
- 1:42:50Speaker 1: wholeness is right, and restoration is right. And according to
- 1:42:57Speaker 1: Ephesians three twenty, I believe that you are able to
- 1:43:03Speaker 1: do immeasurably more than all I ask or imagine, according
- 1:43:09Speaker 1: to your mighty power that is at work within me.
- 1:43:14Speaker 1: I expect your power to work healing, miracles, and wholeness
- 1:43:18Speaker 1: in my body. I will walk by faith, not by sight.
- 1:43:24Speaker 1: I choose to activate my faith and believe that you
- 1:43:28Speaker 1: are working on my behalf, even when I don't see
- 1:43:32Speaker 1: it or feel it.
- 1:43:34Speaker 3: Yet.
- 1:43:35Speaker 1: Amen, just as Jesus has forgiven your sins, he heals
- 1:43:41Speaker 1: your diseases, illnesses and pain. When he proclaimed it is
- 1:43:46Speaker 1: finished as he hung on the cross, he finished your salvation.
- 1:43:52Speaker 1: He finished your healing and finished your wholeness. Let's pray
- 1:43:58Speaker 1: in agreement for your complete restoration, Heavenly Father, I believe
- 1:44:04Speaker 1: that Jesus finished my physical healing on the cross two
- 1:44:08Speaker 1: thousand years ago. He broke the curse of sin, death
- 1:44:12Speaker 1: and disease off my life when I accepted Him as
- 1:44:16Speaker 1: my savior. Therefore, I am not cursed. I am blessed
- 1:44:21Speaker 1: and highly favored. I confess that I'm healthy, whole, and
- 1:44:27Speaker 1: well in Jesus's name, Sin, death and disease have no
- 1:44:34Speaker 1: hold on me. I belong to Jesus, and I'm free
- 1:44:40Speaker 1: from every pain, degeneration, disease, illness, syndrome, diagnosis, and disorder.
- 1:44:48Speaker 1: I ask you to bring order and full function to
- 1:44:52Speaker 1: every member of my body right now. Whatever isn't right, God,
- 1:44:58Speaker 1: make it right. Whatever is malfunctioning, cause it to line
- 1:45:04Speaker 1: up with your will and your word. Let every cancer
- 1:45:09Speaker 1: sell dry up, Let every system operate correctly, Let every
- 1:45:16Speaker 1: hormone come into alignment. Let my blood levels even out.
- 1:45:22Speaker 1: Let every organ function perfectly. As you say in Jeremiah
- 1:45:28Speaker 1: thirty three, verse six, bring health and healing to me.
- 1:45:33Speaker 1: Heal me and let me enjoy abundant peace and security.
- 1:45:40Speaker 1: You are Jehovah Rapha, my healer. I worship you, Lord,
- 1:45:46Speaker 1: and thank you for blessing my food and water, and
- 1:45:49Speaker 1: for taking away sickness from me. As it says in
- 1:45:52Speaker 1: Exodus twenty three, verse twenty five, give me wisdom on
- 1:45:57Speaker 1: how to take care of this body you've entrust to me,
- 1:46:01Speaker 1: like it says in Exodus fifteen, verse twenty six, if
- 1:46:05Speaker 1: I listen carefully to you and do what is right
- 1:46:09Speaker 1: in your eyes. If I pay attention to your commands,
- 1:46:13Speaker 1: and keep all your decrees. You won't bring any of
- 1:46:18Speaker 1: the diseases on me that you brought on the Egyptians.
- 1:46:21Speaker 1: For you are the Lord who heals me. If I
- 1:46:26Speaker 1: receive an unwonted diagnosis, I confess Isaiah forty one ten.
- 1:46:33Speaker 1: I will not be afraid because you are with me.
- 1:46:38Speaker 1: I won't be dismayed, for you are my God. You
- 1:46:43Speaker 1: will strengthen me and help me. You will uphold me
- 1:46:47Speaker 1: with your righteous right hand, as it says in Psalm
- 1:46:52Speaker 1: ninety one, you will cover me with your feathers, and
- 1:46:57Speaker 1: under your wings I will find refuge. Your faithfulness will
- 1:47:02Speaker 1: be my shield and rampart. I won't fear the terror
- 1:47:06Speaker 1: of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor
- 1:47:09Speaker 1: the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague
- 1:47:13Speaker 1: that destroys at midday. A thousand may fall at my side,
- 1:47:18Speaker 1: ten thousand at my right hand, but it will not
- 1:47:22Speaker 1: come near me.
- 1:47:24Speaker 3: Lord.
- 1:47:26Speaker 1: You promise that if I say the Lord is my refuge,
- 1:47:31Speaker 1: and if I make the most high my dwelling, no
- 1:47:35Speaker 1: harm will overtake me. No disaster will come near my tent.
- 1:47:39Speaker 1: I will tread on every enemy, every disease, and every
- 1:47:43Speaker 1: diagnosis that tries to attack me, and I will rest
- 1:47:48Speaker 1: in the safety of your love and protection, trusting you
- 1:47:53Speaker 1: to bring about total wholeness to my body. And I
- 1:47:59Speaker 1: will rest in the safety of your love and protection,
- 1:48:04Speaker 1: trusting you to bring about total wellness and wholeness to
- 1:48:10Speaker 1: my body.
- 1:48:13Speaker 2: Amen, please get settled into bed and take a few
- 1:48:23Speaker 2: deep breaths to help you relax. Release everything that is
- 1:48:32Speaker 2: on your mind. Where are your thoughts of all distractions?
- 1:48:39Speaker 2: By focusing only on Jesus, whisper his name, Invite the
- 1:48:50Speaker 2: Lord to be with you as you keep your mind
- 1:48:55Speaker 2: fixed on him. Ask for him to fill the room
- 1:49:00Speaker 2: with his peace and his presence. Breathe in and release
- 1:49:12Speaker 2: your breath slowly. Be assured tonight that Jesus loves you.
- 1:49:22Speaker 2: Even though you've probably heard that phrase many times, it
- 1:49:27Speaker 2: is a powerful truth you can count on. Jesus loves you.
- 1:49:36Speaker 2: He knows your name amidst all the people in the world.
- 1:49:43Speaker 2: He knows exactly.
- 1:49:45Speaker 3: What you need.
- 1:49:49Speaker 2: Inhale deeply and exhale completely all the soft covers around you,
- 1:50:02Speaker 2: and lie very still for a moment. Think only of
- 1:50:08Speaker 2: the gentle Savior who loves you and surrounds you with
- 1:50:13Speaker 2: his peace. Softly and tenderly. Jesus is calling, calling for
- 1:50:24Speaker 2: you and for me. Please pray with me, Heavenly Father,
- 1:50:35Speaker 2: in the precious name of your Son, Jesus, I pray
- 1:50:41Speaker 2: over this beloved listener tonight. With each breath they take,
- 1:50:48Speaker 2: I ask you to fill them with your peace.
- 1:50:53Speaker 3: Lord.
- 1:50:55Speaker 2: Each of us needs your tender, healing touch. Just as
- 1:51:01Speaker 2: the woman bravely reached out and touched the hem of
- 1:51:05Speaker 2: your robe, so we reach out to receive healing from
- 1:51:10Speaker 2: you tonight, Mind, art, body, and soul. Please heal every
- 1:51:20Speaker 2: broken place. Lord, as this dear child hears your words
- 1:51:30Speaker 2: of comfort tonight, let your spirit flow through them, reminding
- 1:51:36Speaker 2: them of your truth. Let them know they are deeply
- 1:51:41Speaker 2: loved by you. As they fall asleep, I pray that
- 1:51:48Speaker 2: your presence will guard them all through the night, and
- 1:51:53Speaker 2: when they wake, I pray that they will be fully renewed,
- 1:52:00Speaker 2: ready to face the day, complete, all healthy and secure.
- 1:52:10Speaker 2: I ask for these things in the name of your
- 1:52:13Speaker 2: Son Jesus. Amen, before we get into our sleep story,
- 1:52:23Speaker 2: take one more deep breath in and release it as
- 1:52:28Speaker 2: slowly as you can. Relax every muscle from head to toe.
- 1:52:38Speaker 2: Feel the tension leaving your body. God is with you.
- 1:52:47Speaker 2: Feel his comforting presence. Rest in his love and peace. Ah,
- 1:52:57Speaker 2: how he cares for you. Now we turn to the
- 1:53:04Speaker 2: shores of Galilee as a multitude of people wait for Jesus.
- 1:53:11Speaker 2: He steps out of the boat and is welcomed by them.
- 1:53:16Speaker 2: They gather around him, pressing in on every side, desperate
- 1:53:22Speaker 2: to get close to him. A woman is in the crowd,
- 1:53:30Speaker 2: a dear woman who has been bleeding for twelve long years.
- 1:53:38Speaker 3: Can you imagine?
- 1:53:41Speaker 2: She has suffered for so long without relief. She has
- 1:53:48Speaker 2: spent her life savings on doctors and treatments, hoping something
- 1:53:54Speaker 2: will work. She has been isolated and out cast as
- 1:54:01Speaker 2: a woman who is unclean by every standard of the
- 1:54:08Speaker 2: Jewish law. She should not be there this day. However,
- 1:54:14Speaker 2: she has nowhere else to go. She is desperate to
- 1:54:20Speaker 2: find healing, and she knows there is one who can
- 1:54:26Speaker 2: make her whole. Perhaps you have felt unclean or isolated.
- 1:54:36Speaker 2: Maybe you don't believe you should receive anything from God.
- 1:54:42Speaker 2: If so, please release those thoughts to the Savior tonight.
- 1:54:51Speaker 2: He has washed away your guilt and shame. He has
- 1:54:56Speaker 2: torn the veil so that you can end tear the
- 1:55:00Speaker 2: Holy of Holies. He invites you to come boldly to
- 1:55:06Speaker 2: the throne of grace. Gracious God, please release this beloved
- 1:55:16Speaker 2: listener of all doubt tonight. As they come before you,
- 1:55:22Speaker 2: remove any obstacle that stands in their way, restore their
- 1:55:27Speaker 2: faith in you, leading them to your throne, fully surrendered
- 1:55:33Speaker 2: to you in the name of Jesus, I pray. Even
- 1:55:42Speaker 2: though the woman was deemed unclean by the Jewish law,
- 1:55:47Speaker 2: the law of love prevailed that day. Her faith in
- 1:55:55Speaker 2: Jesus took her to Galilee, despite the label others had
- 1:56:01Speaker 2: placed on her, and in faith she waited for just
- 1:56:06Speaker 2: the right time to touch the hem of his robe.
- 1:56:10Speaker 2: Her story is recorded in Luke chapter eight, Verses forty three.
- 1:56:16Speaker 3: And forty four.
- 1:56:19Speaker 2: Now, a woman, having a flow of blood for twelve years,
- 1:56:23Speaker 2: who had spent all her livelihood on physicians and could
- 1:56:28Speaker 2: not be healed by any came from behind and touched
- 1:56:33Speaker 2: the border of his garment, and immediately her flow of
- 1:56:38Speaker 2: blood stopped. Immediately she was healed. With one slight touch.
- 1:56:50Speaker 2: She received the power of Jesus Mighty to heal.
- 1:56:57Speaker 3: You.
- 1:56:58Speaker 2: See, as Jesus, the great Physician walked past, she knew
- 1:57:05Speaker 2: without a doubt that.
- 1:57:06Speaker 3: He was able to heal.
- 1:57:13Speaker 2: He is able, as Efficients three twenty says, he is
- 1:57:20Speaker 2: able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine,
- 1:57:26Speaker 2: according to His power that is at work within us.
- 1:57:35Speaker 2: Rest in that comforting truth. Tonight, Gracious God, Dealer and friend,
- 1:57:47Speaker 2: we come humbly before you, thanking you for being with us.
- 1:57:54Speaker 2: As this beloved person seeks you tonight them to find
- 1:58:01Speaker 2: your grace and peace. Remind them that they are created
- 1:58:07Speaker 2: to seek you, reach for you, and find you, for
- 1:58:13Speaker 2: you are not far from them. I pray for this
- 1:58:20Speaker 2: dear person to be assured of the healing power.
- 1:58:24Speaker 3: Of your presence.
- 1:58:26Speaker 2: I ask Lord that you heal every affliction, every illness,
- 1:58:35Speaker 2: and every issue they might have in the mighty name
- 1:58:41Speaker 2: of Jesus, and by the power of your spirit, please
- 1:58:48Speaker 2: move through this person's body to bring full healing and restoration.
- 1:58:55Speaker 2: Thank you, Father, in Jesus's name.
- 1:59:00Speaker 3: Amen.
- 1:59:04Speaker 2: After the woman touched the hem of Jesus's robe, he
- 1:59:09Speaker 2: stopped and asked, who touched me? None of his disciples
- 1:59:16Speaker 2: could answer him. In fact, the questioned the Lord by saying, Master,
- 1:59:24Speaker 2: the multitude strong and press you, and you say who
- 1:59:30Speaker 2: touched me? But Jesus said, somebody touched me, for I
- 1:59:38Speaker 2: perceived power going out from me. Jesus already knew who
- 1:59:46Speaker 2: the woman was, yet he stopped to ask who had
- 1:59:51Speaker 2: touched him. He wanted her to come forward in faith.
- 1:59:59Speaker 2: Jesus wants you to come to him in faith as well.
- 2:00:04Speaker 2: He invites you to ask of him. In John chapter fourteen,
- 2:00:12Speaker 2: Jesus said, whatever you ask in my name, that I
- 2:00:18Speaker 2: will do that the Father may be glorified in the sun.
- 2:00:24Speaker 2: If you ask anything in my name, I will do it.
- 2:00:33Speaker 2: This heart lord needs your cleansing power. This mind lord
- 2:00:43Speaker 2: needs your thoughts of praise. This body lord needs your
- 2:00:51Speaker 2: healing touch. This soul lord needs your hands to raise.
- 2:01:03Speaker 2: Be still before the Lord tonight, resting in his love
- 2:01:08Speaker 2: towards you. Trust him to know exactly what you need.
- 2:01:15Speaker 3: Trust him to heal you.
- 2:01:21Speaker 2: When the woman saw that she was not hidden from Jesus,
- 2:01:26Speaker 2: she came, trembling and falling down before him. She declared
- 2:01:32Speaker 2: in the presence of all the people, why she had
- 2:01:36Speaker 2: touched him and how she was healed. Immediately then Jesus
- 2:01:43Speaker 2: said to her daughter, be of good cheer. Your faith
- 2:01:50Speaker 2: has made you well.
- 2:01:52Speaker 3: Go in peace.
- 2:01:57Speaker 2: Here Jesus' words again, be of good cheer. Your faith
- 2:02:04Speaker 2: has made you well. Go in ease. Your faith as
- 2:02:13Speaker 2: small as a tiny mustard seed, is enough. Believe that
- 2:02:20Speaker 2: Jesus is mighty to heal from every sickness and pain.
- 2:02:27Speaker 2: He is more than able to.
- 2:02:29Speaker 3: Make you well. Do not give up.
- 2:02:33Speaker 2: Keep pressing in, keep taking hold of the hem of
- 2:02:39Speaker 2: his garment, believing he can heal you. Lord Jesus, I
- 2:02:49Speaker 2: pray for this beloved person tonight, hopeful for your hand
- 2:02:54Speaker 2: of healing over their infirmities. Lise Lord, I knew their
- 2:03:00Speaker 2: hope in you. Never let them doubt that you are
- 2:03:06Speaker 2: able to heal. Give them strength, comfort, and direction as
- 2:03:14Speaker 2: they walk in faithfulness to you. I ask that you
- 2:03:19Speaker 2: work through their body, through every fiber of their being,
- 2:03:25Speaker 2: to heal and restore them to health. No matter what, Lord,
- 2:03:33Speaker 2: I pray that this child will give you all the glory, honor,
- 2:03:39Speaker 2: and praise. I pray that they will be a living
- 2:03:44Speaker 2: testimony of what You've done for them. Be with them, Lord,
- 2:03:51Speaker 2: be their comfort and their peace. I pray these things
- 2:03:56Speaker 2: in your Holy name.
- 2:03:59Speaker 3: Amen.
- 2:04:06Speaker 1: Let your head sink deep into the pillow. Let go
- 2:04:11Speaker 1: of any distractions or thoughts about tomorrow and events of
- 2:04:15Speaker 1: your day. Allow yourself to be fully present in the
- 2:04:20Speaker 1: here and now. Breathe deeply in and out, in and out,
- 2:04:32Speaker 1: inviting God's presence to fill the room. As you listen
- 2:04:37Speaker 1: to my voice and the words of this meditation, Let
- 2:04:42Speaker 1: the peaceful messages flow into your mind and settle deep
- 2:04:47Speaker 1: into your heart. Prayers and scriptures I will speak over
- 2:04:52Speaker 1: you tonight are words of hope, life and peace. Ask
- 2:04:59Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit to send words of comfort through this meditation,
- 2:05:04Speaker 1: and know that His angels are here to protect you
- 2:05:09Speaker 1: as you rest tonight. As I begin reading from Psalm
- 2:05:15Speaker 1: ninety one, allow yourself to feel the security of God's
- 2:05:20Speaker 1: covering like a soft, warm blanket. Let his gentle presence
- 2:05:26Speaker 1: cover every fiber of your being. He is your protection
- 2:05:32Speaker 1: and your refuge. Know that it is the Lord who
- 2:05:38Speaker 1: keeps you safe. Those who live in the shelter of
- 2:05:42Speaker 1: the Most High will find rest in the shadow of
- 2:05:46Speaker 1: the Almighty. He alone is your refuge, your place of safety.
- 2:05:54Speaker 1: He is your God, and you can trust him. He
- 2:06:01Speaker 1: will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you
- 2:06:06Speaker 1: with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and
- 2:06:12Speaker 1: your protection. Do not be afraid. Rest in His everlasting
- 2:06:20Speaker 1: arms as I pray over you. Now, relax and breathe
- 2:06:27Speaker 1: deeply in and out inhil his goodness. Exhale your worries.
- 2:06:40Speaker 1: Gracious Heavenly Father, shelter this beloved person tonight under the
- 2:06:47Speaker 1: shadow of your wings. Let their heart fully trust in you, Lord,
- 2:06:55Speaker 1: as you cover them and guard them from the terrors
- 2:06:58Speaker 1: of the night. Surround them with your angels that they
- 2:07:04Speaker 1: might feel completely safe and secure. In Jesus's name, Do
- 2:07:14Speaker 1: you feel his presence, his protection, his safety. Breathe deeply now,
- 2:07:22Speaker 1: in and out, relaxing even more in the presence of God.
- 2:07:30Speaker 1: Trust the Lord to send his angels to keep watch
- 2:07:35Speaker 1: over you. Allow yourself to imagine guardian angels in the
- 2:07:41Speaker 1: room with you. They are there to protect you so
- 2:07:46Speaker 1: that you can rest easily. Feel the warmth of the
- 2:07:51Speaker 1: covers and the softness of the pillow as you sink
- 2:07:56Speaker 1: deeper into peaceful relaxation. Now listen as I read these
- 2:08:03Speaker 1: beautiful words from Psalm ninety one. If you make the
- 2:08:07Speaker 1: Lord your refuge, if you make the most high your shelter,
- 2:08:13Speaker 1: no evil will conquer you, no plague will come near
- 2:08:18Speaker 1: your home, for He will order his angels to protect
- 2:08:23Speaker 1: you wherever you go. Do you believe that, Do you
- 2:08:30Speaker 1: believe with all your heart that God will order his
- 2:08:34Speaker 1: angels to protect you. He loves you, and you can
- 2:08:40Speaker 1: rest fully in that truth. Holy God, Please give this
- 2:08:47Speaker 1: person your cherished loved one perfect rest. Help them to
- 2:08:54Speaker 1: make you their refuge and their shelter. Give them comfort,
- 2:09:03Speaker 1: Give them comfort to know that no bad thing will
- 2:09:07Speaker 1: come near their home. Help them sense that your angels
- 2:09:11Speaker 1: are watching over them. Tonight, in Jesus's name, I pray Amen,
- 2:09:20Speaker 1: as I share even more from psalmninety one. Try to
- 2:09:24Speaker 1: pace your breathing. Breathe in and exhale slowly, breathe in
- 2:09:34Speaker 1: and breathe out. Allow yourself to drift off to sleep
- 2:09:40Speaker 1: in perfect peace. Where the Lord says, I will rescue
- 2:09:47Speaker 1: those who love me. I will protect those who trust
- 2:09:51Speaker 1: in my name. When you call on me, I will answer.
- 2:09:58Speaker 1: I will be with you in trouble. God is with you.
- 2:10:06Speaker 1: He will rescue you from every trouble, every hardship, every
- 2:10:12Speaker 1: difficult situation. When you love him, trust him and call
- 2:10:19Speaker 1: on his name. Yes, he will be with you. Feel
- 2:10:27Speaker 1: his presence. His spirit lives in you. His son Jesus
- 2:10:36Speaker 1: has saved you. He is your God, Heavenly Father, be
- 2:10:47Speaker 1: with your loved one tonight. With every breath they take,
- 2:10:54Speaker 1: let them know you are with them. Let them know
- 2:11:00Speaker 1: that your spirit dwells in their spirit, and let them
- 2:11:06Speaker 1: be assured that the blood of your Son has made
- 2:11:10Speaker 1: them clean, whole, and restored. Thank you, Lord for protecting
- 2:11:17Speaker 1: them tonight in your presence and by the covering of
- 2:11:21Speaker 1: your angels. In Jesus's name, as I share this final
- 2:11:29Speaker 1: portion of Psalm ninety one, sink even deeper into the
- 2:11:34Speaker 1: safety and protection that the Lord offers you tonight. His
- 2:11:40Speaker 1: loving arms are around you. He is keeping you safe.
- 2:11:46Speaker 1: He is with you. I will rescue and honor you,
- 2:11:53Speaker 1: says the Lord. I will reward you with a long
- 2:11:58Speaker 1: life and give you my salvation. The peace of knowing
- 2:12:05Speaker 1: you have honor, long life, and salvation is a perfect
- 2:12:10Speaker 1: peace that allows you to rest fully in the Lord.
- 2:12:16Speaker 1: He is trustworthy and true. Feel his presence now as
- 2:12:21Speaker 1: you breathe in and out. Breathe in the warmth of
- 2:12:29Speaker 1: God's embrace. Exhale your exhaustion, letting it go as you
- 2:12:37Speaker 1: drift into God's land of protection. Thank you, Lord for
- 2:12:46Speaker 1: rewarding your servant with honor and long life. Bless them tonight,
- 2:12:52Speaker 1: giving them peaceful rest, assuring them of the salvation they
- 2:12:57Speaker 1: have in your Son Jesus, For it is in his
- 2:13:02Speaker 1: name that I pray. Now as I turn to Psalm
- 2:13:07Speaker 1: one O three, let your mind turn to thoughts of
- 2:13:11Speaker 1: deep sleep. You are at perfect rest tonight. Breathe in
- 2:13:20Speaker 1: and out, sinking deeper into the bed, letting your entire
- 2:13:27Speaker 1: body relax. Let every part of you praise the Lord.
- 2:13:35Speaker 1: May you never forget the good things He has done
- 2:13:38Speaker 1: for you. He forgives all your sins and heals all
- 2:13:45Speaker 1: your diseases. What a beautiful reminder of the good things
- 2:13:51Speaker 1: God has done for you. He longs to give you
- 2:13:55Speaker 1: good things. Receive his goodness. Yes, do you feel the
- 2:14:03Speaker 1: goodness of his presence. He has sent angels to protect you,
- 2:14:09Speaker 1: and it is good. Confess your sins before the Lord.
- 2:14:15Speaker 1: He forgives all of your iniquities. Thank him, Raise him.
- 2:14:23Speaker 1: He heals all of your ailments. Receive his healing, Touch
- 2:14:30Speaker 1: his comforts, his provisions. Breathe deeply of his spirit. Relax,
- 2:14:40Speaker 1: settle your mind and heart on his goodness. Gracious God,
- 2:14:47Speaker 1: Please bless this person tonight with good things that they
- 2:14:52Speaker 1: will not forget. What you have done for them. You
- 2:14:56Speaker 1: have forgiven them. Let them know they are forgiven. Tonight
- 2:15:03Speaker 1: you have healed them. Let them feel completely healed by
- 2:15:08Speaker 1: your touch. Thank you, Lord for giving your beloved such
- 2:15:15Speaker 1: wonderful gifts in Jesus's name. Now, as I continue in
- 2:15:23Speaker 1: Psalm one O three, relax and breathe in and out again,
- 2:15:33Speaker 1: in and out, letting your mind. Settle on the comforting
- 2:15:40Speaker 1: words of the scripture, God's words, his truth, his ways.
- 2:15:52Speaker 1: He redeems you from death and crowns you with love
- 2:15:56Speaker 1: and tender mercies. He fills your life with good things.
- 2:16:01Speaker 1: Receive those good things from the hand of the Father,
- 2:16:05Speaker 1: for he has redeemed you. Breathe in and out and
- 2:16:14Speaker 1: let your heart praise him for redeeming your life. His
- 2:16:20Speaker 1: tender mercies are new every morning. He has crowned you
- 2:16:27Speaker 1: with love and mercy. Feel the crown of love that
- 2:16:32Speaker 1: He has placed on your head. He fills your life
- 2:16:38Speaker 1: with goodness, So embrace those wonderful blessings that you have
- 2:16:43Speaker 1: received from his hand. Holy God, thank you so much
- 2:16:51Speaker 1: for showering your loved one with blessings. Please continue to
- 2:16:58Speaker 1: crown them with good things. Let them know you are
- 2:17:03Speaker 1: in the room. You are in their heart. Your angels
- 2:17:09Speaker 1: are all around, protecting, guarding, covering in Jesus's holy name.
- 2:17:21Speaker 1: And now, as I close with our final verses from
- 2:17:25Speaker 1: Psalm one O three, rest in perfect peace tonight, breathing
- 2:17:31Speaker 1: in and out, in and out, fully relaxed and at peace.
- 2:17:47Speaker 1: Your youth is renewed like the eagles. The Lord gives
- 2:17:52Speaker 1: righteousness and justice to you. Righteousness and justice. Let those
- 2:18:01Speaker 1: words sink deeply into your mind, your heart, your soul.
- 2:18:10Speaker 1: God's righteousness, peace and life are given to you. Tonight. Relax, sleep,
- 2:18:24Speaker 1: dream of God's goodness. You will awaken renewed by the
- 2:18:32Speaker 1: Lord himself, ready to face the day with strength and vitality.
- 2:18:41Speaker 1: Breathe deeper, now fully relaxed, completely at ease. Relax. You
- 2:18:55Speaker 1: can know that you are protected. Release, you can know
- 2:19:03Speaker 1: that you are loved.
- 2:19:07Speaker 3: Refresh.
- 2:19:09Speaker 1: You can sleep in perfect peace. You can dream of
- 2:19:15Speaker 1: God's goodness, righteousness and provision. Lord God, surround this cherished
- 2:19:24Speaker 1: person with your loving presence in peace and holiness. Cover
- 2:19:31Speaker 1: them as your angels protect them, Help them rest deeply
- 2:19:39Speaker 1: and sleep through the night. Help them to sense your
- 2:19:47Speaker 1: loving kindness and goodness as they dream in Jesus's holy name,
- 2:19:53Speaker 1: I pray, Amen, would you pray with me? Heavenly Father,
- 2:20:08Speaker 1: thank you for being with us now, and thank you
- 2:20:12Speaker 1: for the good gift of rest. We are tired and
- 2:20:17Speaker 1: in need of your renewal. Be present with us as
- 2:20:22Speaker 1: we sleep, and protect us through the hours of the night,
- 2:20:27Speaker 1: so that we who are wearied by the changes and
- 2:20:31Speaker 1: chances of this life, may rest in your eternal changelessness.
- 2:20:38Speaker 1: We pray this in the name of Jesus. Amen. Now,
- 2:20:47Speaker 1: before we read from God's word, let's make sure you're comfortable,
- 2:20:53Speaker 1: adjust the lights or the blankets if you need to,
- 2:20:58Speaker 1: and let's take just a few minutes for progressive muscle
- 2:21:01Speaker 1: relaxation to get your body ready to sleep. We're going
- 2:21:08Speaker 1: to tense muscle groups one at a time, holding the
- 2:21:13Speaker 1: tension for about five seconds, then exhaling and letting that
- 2:21:19Speaker 1: muscle group fully relax for ten to twenty seconds before
- 2:21:25Speaker 1: you move on to the next muscle group. Research has
- 2:21:29Speaker 1: shown that this technique offers a range of benefits, including
- 2:21:34Speaker 1: pain relief and better sleep. It may also reduce migraines
- 2:21:38Speaker 1: and systolic blood pressure. So begin by lifting your toes upward,
- 2:21:47Speaker 1: tensing your muscles. Hold, then let go. Now pull your
- 2:22:08Speaker 1: toes downward. Hold then let go good. Next, tense your
- 2:22:30Speaker 1: calf muscles. Hold, then let go move your knees toward
- 2:22:50Speaker 1: each other. Hold, then let go. Now squeeze your thigh muscles. Hold,
- 2:23:17Speaker 1: then let go clench your hands.
- 2:23:31Speaker 3: Pause.
- 2:23:36Speaker 1: Now let go squeeze your buttocks. Hold, then let go
- 2:24:05Speaker 1: contract your abdominal muscles. Hold. Now let go inhale and
- 2:24:24Speaker 1: tighten your chest. Hold. Now exhale and let go raise
- 2:24:44Speaker 1: your shoulders to your ears. Hold. Now let go purse
- 2:25:03Speaker 1: your lips together. Hold, then let go open your mouth wide. Hold,
- 2:25:30Speaker 1: then let go close your eyes tightly. Hold now release good.
- 2:26:03Speaker 1: Let your whole body relax, warm and loose as you
- 2:26:08Speaker 1: rest in safety and pray with the psalmist. God. When
- 2:26:17Speaker 1: my anxious thoughts multiply within me, your comforts delight me.
- 2:26:24Speaker 1: What comforts has God given you? Or in another translation, Lord,
- 2:26:40Speaker 1: when doubts fill my mind, when my heart is in turmoil,
- 2:26:45Speaker 1: quiet me and give me renewed hope and cheer. Heavenly Father,
- 2:26:53Speaker 1: all good gifts come from you, all hope and all cheer,
- 2:26:59Speaker 1: all comefforts and consolations. Thank you for sending your son Jesus,
- 2:27:07Speaker 1: thank you for sending your spirit to abide with your
- 2:27:11Speaker 1: precious child. Help them tonight to abide in You, to
- 2:27:17Speaker 1: trade their worries and sorrows for your peace and your joy.
- 2:27:25Speaker 1: May your spirit minister to them as they sleep, Give
- 2:27:30Speaker 1: them the gifts of deep rest and true renewal. It's
- 2:27:37Speaker 1: in the name of Jesus. I pray, Amen, let your
- 2:27:47Speaker 1: breathing stay slow and steady. As I read parts of
- 2:27:51Speaker 1: Philippians for where Paul writes, do not be anxious about anything,
- 2:28:00Speaker 1: but in every situation my prayer and petition, with thanksgiving,
- 2:28:06Speaker 1: present your requests to God. And the peace of God,
- 2:28:11Speaker 1: which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your
- 2:28:17Speaker 1: minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true,
- 2:28:26Speaker 1: whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever
- 2:28:35Speaker 1: is lovely, whatever is admirable, if anything is excellent or praiseworthy,
- 2:28:45Speaker 1: think about such things. God. We want to think on
- 2:28:52Speaker 1: the things that you have called lovely and good. Whatsoever
- 2:29:01Speaker 1: is true, Jesus says, I am the Truth. The truth
- 2:29:09Speaker 1: shines like light that the darkness cannot overcome, like the
- 2:29:14Speaker 1: sun brilliant on a summer's day. At the coast, the
- 2:29:20Speaker 1: sun sparkles on the water and warms your skin. If
- 2:29:25Speaker 1: you clamber up from the soft white beaches to the
- 2:29:28Speaker 1: rocky cliffs, you can see the sun lighting the landscape
- 2:29:32Speaker 1: for miles and miles. The truth shines like the sun,
- 2:29:40Speaker 1: and the truth burns like a fire that will never
- 2:29:43Speaker 1: go out, like a beech camp fire that keeps you
- 2:29:47Speaker 1: warm as you rest next to it, gazing at the
- 2:29:50Speaker 1: multitude of stars overhead. The air is only slightly chilly,
- 2:29:57Speaker 1: and the fire is just right. This fire burns away
- 2:30:03Speaker 1: all falsehoods and warms you with its truth. Whatsoever is noble?
- 2:30:15Speaker 1: What if there was a king and queen who never
- 2:30:18Speaker 1: abused their power? Can you imagine monarchs who aren't noble
- 2:30:23Speaker 1: because they were born to the right parents or owned
- 2:30:26Speaker 1: the right land, but whose character was all goodness and kindness.
- 2:30:34Speaker 1: These monarchs would not wear costly royal robes while their
- 2:30:38Speaker 1: subjects starved. They would cast off the trappings of nobility
- 2:30:43Speaker 1: and exchange them for true nobility of character, sharing their
- 2:30:48Speaker 1: riches so that all in the kingdom could flourish together.
- 2:30:53Speaker 1: Their lands would be fruitful with crops, their people live
- 2:30:58Speaker 1: in peace and freedom. Whatsoever is right? Imagine, after hours
- 2:31:10Speaker 1: of being turned around, making wrong turns and getting stuck
- 2:31:14Speaker 1: in gridlock traffic, finding yourself on the right road. There's
- 2:31:21Speaker 1: not a doubt in anyone's mind. This is the way,
- 2:31:26Speaker 1: and the road is open before you, green fields on
- 2:31:30Speaker 1: either side, the shadows of mountains in the distance. You're
- 2:31:36Speaker 1: not in a rush. This is the way. You'll get
- 2:31:40Speaker 1: there when the time is right. So for now, you
- 2:31:44Speaker 1: roll down the windows, turn up the music, and sing along.
- 2:31:50Speaker 1: The air smells like fresh cut grass and honeysuckle, and
- 2:31:55Speaker 1: the radio is playing songs you all know the words to.
- 2:32:00Speaker 1: The person you love is in the front seat next
- 2:32:02Speaker 1: to you. This is the place God has appointed for you,
- 2:32:07Speaker 1: and it feels right in every way. Whatsoever is pure, pure,
- 2:32:20Speaker 1: like the first snowfall of the season, thick flakes drifting
- 2:32:25Speaker 1: softly from the sky, making the world soft and quiet.
- 2:32:30Speaker 1: The air smells clean and cold, and as the hours pass,
- 2:32:36Speaker 1: the whole world turns white. Outside your window, you see
- 2:32:42Speaker 1: neighbors bringing their toddler out to play. She's bundled up
- 2:32:46Speaker 1: all roly poly and puffy snow clothes, hats and mittens
- 2:32:50Speaker 1: and boots. It's her first snow. Is this a sand castle,
- 2:32:56Speaker 1: She asks her mom, who smiles. She touches it, tastes it,
- 2:33:03Speaker 1: lies down next to her mom as they wave arms
- 2:33:06Speaker 1: and legs, making angels in the snow. The purity of
- 2:33:12Speaker 1: the landscape, the purity of delight in Jesus, You are
- 2:33:20Speaker 1: made pure like that, washed white as snow. God's delight
- 2:33:26Speaker 1: in you is as pure as that. Whatever is lovely.
- 2:33:49Speaker 1: Have you ever seen a couple married for decades and
- 2:33:52Speaker 1: decades still in love. Picture them pushing nightie. They don't
- 2:33:59Speaker 1: move quickly. Their faces are lined, their skin droops, their
- 2:34:04Speaker 1: shoulders round forward, their hair what's left of it, white
- 2:34:10Speaker 1: and thin. But when they look at each other they
- 2:34:15Speaker 1: see all those things, but they don't really see them,
- 2:34:21Speaker 1: because they know each other inside and out. They see
- 2:34:25Speaker 1: who they were at twenty and at thirty five and
- 2:34:29Speaker 1: at sixty. They see each other not just their bodies,
- 2:34:36Speaker 1: but their souls. They love not just because they're lovely,
- 2:34:42Speaker 1: but because the long practice of loving each other has
- 2:34:47Speaker 1: made them lovely. Holding on to each other, they head
- 2:34:54Speaker 1: out for their daily walk around the lake, where they
- 2:34:57Speaker 1: practice beholding all the lovely thing things that God has made.
- 2:35:02Speaker 1: The loon calling out the silvery flash of fish under
- 2:35:07Speaker 1: the water, the soft dark soil of the path, the
- 2:35:12Speaker 1: tall trees that existed before they did and will continue
- 2:35:16Speaker 1: to shade this path when they're gone. Whatever is admirable, excellent, praiseworthy.
- 2:35:30Speaker 1: Think on these things. Let the Spirit bring to mind
- 2:35:35Speaker 1: those things in your life that are praiseworthy. The people,
- 2:35:43Speaker 1: the gifts of food, shelter, companionship, the things that are
- 2:35:50Speaker 1: truly excellent gifts of a loving father God. All good
- 2:35:59Speaker 1: and perfect come from You. I pray with the Psalmist
- 2:36:05Speaker 1: when I thought my foot is slipping. Your steadfast love, O, Lord,
- 2:36:11Speaker 1: held me up. When the cares of my heart are many.
- 2:36:16Speaker 1: Your consolations cheer my soul. Help me to fix my
- 2:36:22Speaker 1: thoughts on You, to trust you, and to rest in
- 2:36:27Speaker 1: the truth that through Jesus I have been saved. Seem
- 2:36:47Speaker 1: deeply into sleep as I read the Truth from Philippians
- 2:36:52Speaker 1: one final time. Fix your thoughts on what is true
- 2:36:58Speaker 1: and good and right. Think about things that are pure
- 2:37:04Speaker 1: and lovely, and dwell on the fine good things in others.
- 2:37:10Speaker 1: Think about all you can praise God for and be
- 2:37:14Speaker 1: glad about. Holy Spirit. Dwell richly in this child tonight.
- 2:37:24Speaker 1: Abide in them as they abide in you may this
- 2:37:29Speaker 1: child sleep in your peace tonight and rise up in
- 2:37:34Speaker 1: the morning ready to seek you again. As you hear
- 2:37:45Speaker 1: this prayer from Psalm fifty one, feel yourself relaxing, falling back,
- 2:37:51Speaker 1: and surrendering yourself into the loving and forgiving arms of Jesus,
- 2:37:56Speaker 1: releasing the weight of your worldly cares as you focus
- 2:38:00Speaker 1: on the lightness of the gospel, the good news of
- 2:38:04Speaker 1: the death, burial, and resurrection of your Lord and Savior,
- 2:38:08Speaker 1: Jesus Christ. Let me pray for you now, Oh peaceful
- 2:38:14Speaker 1: and heavenly Father, You give this one, your child, sleep
- 2:38:20Speaker 1: for the refreshing of their soul and body. Grant this
- 2:38:23Speaker 1: one this gift to night. I pray keep them in
- 2:38:27Speaker 1: that perfect peace which you have promised to them whose
- 2:38:31Speaker 1: mind is fixed on you, And give them such a
- 2:38:34Speaker 1: sense of your presence that in these moments of silence
- 2:38:37Speaker 1: they may enjoy the blessed assurance of your love through you,
- 2:38:42Speaker 1: Oh peaceful and Loving Father, Be merciful to this one,
- 2:38:47Speaker 1: o God, because of your constant love, because of your
- 2:38:51Speaker 1: great mercy, wipe away their sins, wash away all evil,
- 2:38:57Speaker 1: and make them clean from their sin. To night to night,
- 2:39:01Speaker 1: let them hear the sounds of joy and gladness create
- 2:39:05Speaker 1: in them tonight a pure heart. O, God, give them
- 2:39:09Speaker 1: again the joy that comes from your salvation. God, grant
- 2:39:14Speaker 1: this one piece so they can sleep soundlessly and awaken
- 2:39:19Speaker 1: with a renewed spirit, ready to face the day ahead.
- 2:39:23Speaker 1: In Jesus's name, Amen, feel Jesus's embrace. Feel Jesus whispering
- 2:39:31Speaker 1: his love and care for you tonight as you sleep.
- 2:39:35Speaker 1: As you continue to relax, I want you to pace
- 2:39:37Speaker 1: your breathing as I read scripture to you. As I
- 2:39:41Speaker 1: read the first part of a passage, I want you
- 2:39:44Speaker 1: to very slowly breathe in. And then as I read
- 2:39:48Speaker 1: the second part of the passage, I want you to
- 2:39:51Speaker 1: breathe out. Listen as I read from Psalm forty six,
- 2:39:56Speaker 1: breathe in slowly now as I read, God is our
- 2:40:01Speaker 1: refuge and strength. Now breathe out slowly as I read,
- 2:40:06Speaker 1: and a very present help in your times of trouble.
- 2:40:11Speaker 1: Pace your breathing in and out slowly again, as I
- 2:40:14Speaker 1: pray over you. From Deuteronomy thirty one, breathe in, be
- 2:40:20Speaker 1: strong and courageous and out. Do not fear or be
- 2:40:26Speaker 1: in dread, and in slowly, for it is the Lord
- 2:40:31Speaker 1: your God. And out. Who goes with you.
- 2:40:38Speaker 2: In.
- 2:40:39Speaker 1: He will not leave you out or forsake you in
- 2:40:47Speaker 1: the darkness. Now feel the presence of Christ. Feel the
- 2:40:51Speaker 1: strength of his arms around you, Feel the tenderness of
- 2:40:55Speaker 1: his hands as they rest on your head. Relax into
- 2:40:59Speaker 1: his presence. Pace your breathing slowly as I pray from
- 2:41:05Speaker 1: Luke twelve. Breathing slowly, and don't be concerned about what
- 2:41:11Speaker 1: to eat or what to drink. Don't worry about such things.
- 2:41:17Speaker 1: These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers. But your Father
- 2:41:23Speaker 1: already knows your needs. Seek the Kingdom of God above
- 2:41:28Speaker 1: all else, and he will give you everything you need.
- 2:41:34Speaker 1: So don't be afraid, little one, for it gives your
- 2:41:37Speaker 1: father great happiness to give you the kingdom. Dear Peaceful Father,
- 2:41:45Speaker 1: bless this one tonight. Bless them, give them your peace,
- 2:41:51Speaker 1: Smile upon them, and give them your rest tonight in
- 2:41:56Speaker 1: Jesus's name. Amen, Pace your breathing slowly as I pray
- 2:42:04Speaker 1: from lamentations to Lord God. Hear my cry out into
- 2:42:10Speaker 1: the night at the beginning of the night. Watch help
- 2:42:15Speaker 1: me pour out my heart like water before you. Help
- 2:42:20Speaker 1: me lift my hands to you, Dear Peaceful Father, take

- 2:49:13Speaker 1: breathing as you listen to the story from Luke eight.
- 2:49:17Speaker 1: Breathe slowly and deeply. As you imagine yourself in the boat.
- 2:49:23Speaker 1: Jesus and his disciples are all around you. You hear
- 2:49:27Speaker 1: Jesus tell you to prepare, prepare to cross over the
- 2:49:32Speaker 1: Sea of Galilee. You watch as Jesus falls asleep. Jesus,
- 2:49:38Speaker 1: your Savior, curls up in the boat to sleep. You
- 2:49:43Speaker 1: sit next to him. You lean on him. As your
- 2:49:47Speaker 1: Savior rests, the wind begins to hit your face, the
- 2:49:53Speaker 1: spray from the waves. You begin to feel water at
- 2:49:57Speaker 1: your feet. Wake up your Master, who is sleeping. You
- 2:50:03Speaker 1: see the look of peace in his eyes. You are
- 2:50:07Speaker 1: in awe of that peace. Jesus waves his hands, perhaps
- 2:50:13Speaker 1: without taking his eyes off of you. You feel the
- 2:50:17Speaker 1: wind stop. The waves are gone. Jesus whispers to you,
- 2:50:24Speaker 1: my child, have faith in me, My child, believe in me.
- 2:50:32Speaker 1: You feel yourself falling asleep in his arms as his

- 2:53:25Speaker 1: After a long day, this bedtime story is here to
- 2:53:28Speaker 1: help you remember and rest in truths that come straight
- 2:53:33Speaker 1: from God's word. This series, called I Am is written
- 2:53:38Speaker 1: to offer you thoughtful affirmations and reminders of who you
- 2:53:43Speaker 1: are in Christ, simple statements that allow your heart to
- 2:53:47Speaker 1: remember and affirm what is most true. May you rest
- 2:53:53Speaker 1: peacefully as you are reminded tonight that you are secure
- 2:53:58Speaker 1: in Christ. Tonight you will hear the affirmation that you
- 2:54:05Speaker 1: are secure in Christ. Nothing can separate you from the
- 2:54:11Speaker 1: love of God. Nothing can snatch you from the hand
- 2:54:15Speaker 1: of the Father. Although trial and struggle may cause you
- 2:54:20Speaker 1: to fear in question, your place is with God, and
- 2:54:27Speaker 1: it is secure because of the work of Jesus Christ. Okay,
- 2:54:34Speaker 1: before we begin our story, let's find a comfortable position
- 2:54:39Speaker 1: to fall asleep in. Let your shoulders settle into your bed.
- 2:54:47Speaker 1: Just your hips and point and flex your toes once
- 2:54:52Speaker 1: or twice. Now let the stress of your day evaborate.
- 2:55:01Speaker 1: This day has come to a close, and all that
- 2:55:05Speaker 1: could be done is done. Let the anxiety and concern
- 2:55:11Speaker 1: of unfinished tasks sit neatly on the floor until tomorrow,
- 2:55:17Speaker 1: completely out of your thoughts. As you allow your heart
- 2:55:21Speaker 1: and soul and mind to rest, reflect for just a
- 2:55:28Speaker 1: moment on the reality that you serve a God who
- 2:55:33Speaker 1: does not need sleep, as Psalm one hundred twenty one says,
- 2:55:40Speaker 1: my help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven
- 2:55:44Speaker 1: and earth. Indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither
- 2:55:51Speaker 1: slumber nor sleep. His power never dampens, and his sovereignty
- 2:55:58Speaker 1: never rests. He is all sufficient, and his sufficiency is
- 2:56:06Speaker 1: enough for you. Take a slow, peasteful breath. Good acknowledge
- 2:56:19Speaker 1: the nearness of God as you lie down to sleep
- 2:56:23Speaker 1: and commune with Him as your day comes to a close.
- 2:56:29Speaker 1: Let's pray, Heavenly Father. I look to you as my
- 2:56:35Speaker 1: refuge and stronghold. It is in you that I find
- 2:56:40Speaker 1: peace and security. With so much around me that is
- 2:56:45Speaker 1: insecure and unstable, I recognize the gift it is to
- 2:56:50Speaker 1: find security in you. God, be near to me as
- 2:56:56Speaker 1: I rest. King Jesus presence, fill this room and bring
- 2:57:03Speaker 1: peace and protection. Remind me of what is true, and
- 2:57:10Speaker 1: let my dreams lead me into your courts. I give
- 2:57:15Speaker 1: thanks Jesus for your promises and grace. In Christ alone,
- 2:57:20Speaker 1: I pray Amen. When Jesus spoke to his followers about
- 2:57:30Speaker 1: what it meant to be in relationship with him, he
- 2:57:35Speaker 1: used unique language and imagery. Such imagery had the power
- 2:57:41Speaker 1: to shift what one once believed about the relationship between
- 2:57:45Speaker 1: God and man and to bring an even deeper, more
- 2:57:50Speaker 1: intimate understanding. It is the wonder and power of a
- 2:57:57Speaker 1: God who walks alongside his people, a God who enters
- 2:58:03Speaker 1: into their world and makes a way for them to
- 2:58:07Speaker 1: know and follow and find security in him. Dear one,
- 2:58:15Speaker 1: as you continue this story tonight, let this affirmation wash
- 2:58:21Speaker 1: over you. You are secure in Christ. You are secure
- 2:58:31Speaker 1: because Jesus has chosen you, and he will never let
- 2:58:36Speaker 1: you go. In John chapter ten, we find these words
- 2:58:43Speaker 1: spoken by Jesus about his followers. My sheep listen to
- 2:58:49Speaker 1: my voice. I know them, and they follow me. I
- 2:58:55Speaker 1: give them eternal life, and they shall never hear. No
- 2:59:01Speaker 1: one will snatch them out of my hand. My father,
- 2:59:07Speaker 1: who has given them to me, is greater than all.
- 2:59:13Speaker 1: No one can snatch them out of my father's hand.
- 2:59:18Speaker 1: I and the Father are one. Let yourself be carried away,
- 2:59:25Speaker 1: far from the bedroom in which you find yourself resting
- 2:59:29Speaker 1: to night, to the rolling kelly green hills of Ireland.
- 2:59:36Speaker 1: Picture yourself journeying down the dirt path, rugged and dusty
- 2:59:42Speaker 1: beneath your feet. You walk for miles, amazed at the
- 2:59:48Speaker 1: beauty all around you. You follow along the three feet
- 2:59:54Speaker 1: high stone walls unique to Ireland that line the streets.
- 3:00:00Speaker 1: You wonder how they seem to effortlessly flow for miles
- 3:00:05Speaker 1: and miles. Look around, admire the richness of the bright
- 3:00:13Speaker 1: green rolling hills that span for acres upon acres, covering
- 3:00:18Speaker 1: the expanse of the space before you. The rich blue
- 3:00:23Speaker 1: sky above only serves to contrast the color of the
- 3:00:27Speaker 1: earth with round white clouds punctuating the sky above. As
- 3:00:34Speaker 1: you round a corner, you come upon a field with
- 3:00:38Speaker 1: hundreds of sheep, rising peacefully as they meander through the pasture.
- 3:00:45Speaker 1: Intrigued and drawn to the simplicity of the herd, you
- 3:00:49Speaker 1: decide to sit on the stone wall next to the field.
- 3:00:54Speaker 1: The hard, warm rock beneath you provides a welcome resting
- 3:00:59Speaker 1: place from your miles of walking. You take a deep breath,
- 3:01:06Speaker 1: breathing in the freshness of the air around you, thankful
- 3:01:11Speaker 1: for the relief brought by your rest, Feel the warmth
- 3:01:15Speaker 1: of the sun on your skin, the drip of sweat
- 3:01:20Speaker 1: rolling down your brow. After sitting for a few minutes,
- 3:01:26Speaker 1: you hear a faint voice. It's quite far away, unsure
- 3:01:33Speaker 1: who is speaking, are where exactly the voice is coming from.
- 3:01:39Speaker 1: You think nothing of it, but then something begins to happen.
- 3:01:47Speaker 1: You notice that the sheep have begun to move. They
- 3:01:51Speaker 1: stopped their grazing and instantly lifted their heads, turning their
- 3:01:56Speaker 1: attention to the direction of the voice. Right away, albeit slowly,
- 3:02:04Speaker 1: they all begin to walk away from the wall on
- 3:02:07Speaker 1: which you sit. Hundreds of sheep moving in the sane direction,
- 3:02:14Speaker 1: and that's when you hear the voice again. The voice
- 3:02:20Speaker 1: is calling a series of intonations loudly and consistently, and
- 3:02:25Speaker 1: the sheep, once scattered all across the pasture, have now
- 3:02:30Speaker 1: perked up and are walking towards the voice. My sheep
- 3:02:38Speaker 1: listen to my voice. I know them, and they follow me.
- 3:02:45Speaker 1: I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish.
- 3:02:52Speaker 1: No one will snatch them out of my hand. My father,
- 3:02:58Speaker 1: who has given them to me, is greater than all.
- 3:03:04Speaker 1: No one can snatch them out of my father's hand.
- 3:03:10Speaker 1: You are secure. You are secure in the arms of
- 3:03:19Speaker 1: your father. As the sheep followed instinctively the voice of
- 3:03:25Speaker 1: their shepherd, so you also have a voice calling to you.
- 3:03:31Speaker 1: It is the voice of your beloved Shepherd, the savior
- 3:03:36Speaker 1: of your heart, the one in whom you find peace
- 3:03:41Speaker 1: and grace and above all security. You have the voice
- 3:03:49Speaker 1: of Jesus that calls to you, that speaks forgiveness and love,
- 3:03:56Speaker 1: that affirms your security, cans you to follow in him.
- 3:04:05Speaker 1: You are secure. You need not fear that something might
- 3:04:11Speaker 1: come against you and take you out of his loving arms. Indeed,
- 3:04:16Speaker 1: nothing can affect your belonging. You are secure because of
- 3:04:22Speaker 1: the promises of Jesus. No one will snatch them out
- 3:04:27Speaker 1: of my hand. My father, who has given them to me,
- 3:04:33Speaker 1: is greater than all. No one can snatch them out
- 3:04:38Speaker 1: of my Father's hand. The sheep have learned to follow
- 3:04:44Speaker 1: the voice of their shepherd because of the faithful protection
- 3:04:48Speaker 1: and provision that he has given to them. Now think
- 3:04:53Speaker 1: how much more has your great Shepherd been faithful to
- 3:04:58Speaker 1: protect and provid for you. You are his and no one
- 3:05:05Speaker 1: can snatch you out of his hand. You are secure
- 3:05:14Speaker 1: when you feel insecure. Repeat the affirmation I am secure
- 3:05:22Speaker 1: in Christ. When you feel uncertain, repeat the affirmation I
- 3:05:31Speaker 1: am secure in Christ. When you feel lost or confused,
- 3:05:39Speaker 1: Repeat the affirmation I am secure in Christ. When you're wandering,
- 3:05:48Speaker 1: meandering unsure. Listen for the voice of your shepherd. It's
- 3:05:55Speaker 1: a voice you know so well. Pause, lift your head
- 3:06:02Speaker 1: and follow the voice of your shepherd. He is faithful
- 3:06:06Speaker 1: to lead you, and you are secure in him. My sheep,
- 3:06:14Speaker 1: listen to my voice. I know them, and they follow me.
- 3:06:22Speaker 1: I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish.
- 3:06:28Speaker 1: No one will snatch them out of my hand. My father,
- 3:06:34Speaker 1: who has given them to me, is greater than all.
- 3:06:41Speaker 1: No one can snatch them out of my Father's hand.
- 3:06:47Speaker 1: Let's pray, Father God, we find great comfort in the
- 3:06:53Speaker 1: presence of your guiding voice. May it be a voice
- 3:06:57Speaker 1: that always sounds familiar, a voice we are always faithful
- 3:07:03Speaker 1: to follow, A voice worthy of our trust and obedience.
- 3:07:11Speaker 1: We love you, Jesus. Amen, dear friend. As you doze
- 3:07:19Speaker 1: off to sleep, receive this blessing from God's word from
- 3:07:24Speaker 1: first Thessalonians three, verse twelve. May the Lord make you
- 3:07:31Speaker 1: increase and abound in love for one another and for all,
- 3:07:37Speaker 1: as we do for you, so that He may establish
- 3:07:41Speaker 1: your hearts blameless in holiness before God and Father at
- 3:07:46Speaker 1: the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints
- 3:07:53Speaker 1: our prayer for you. May peaceful rest be your comfort tonight,
- 3:08:00Speaker 1: and may you wake in the morning confident of your
- 3:08:03Speaker 1: security in Christ.
