PAMOJA MINISTRY — SEASON 8 THE HOUSE OF PRAYER—PRAYER XVIII— GOD, SHOW ME THE CRACK · PAMOJA PODCAST | PAMOJA MINISTRY, A LIFE OF CHRIST INTERNATIONAL MINISTRIES

• 0:00
  The house of prayer. The fervent prayer of a
• 0:04
  righteous. God, show me the crack. A prayer for
• 0:11
  divine warning, conviction, and restoration.
• 0:16
  This prayer is for you, if you sense that God
• 0:19
  has been trying to get your attention. Maybe
• 0:21
  there is something in your life that doesn't
• 0:23
  feel right anymore. A boundary has slowly moved.
• 0:27
  An attitude has changed. A habit is becoming
• 0:30
  stronger. A relationship is becoming unhealthy.
• 0:34
  Your anger is becoming harder to control. Your
• 0:37
  prayer life is becoming weaker. Something you
• 0:41
  once resisted, you are beginning to entertain.
• 0:45
  Something that once convicted you doesn't seem
• 0:48
  to bother you anymore. Or maybe nothing has happened
• 0:52
  yet. But deep inside, you know something is changing.
• 0:57
  This prayer is not about condemnation. It is
• 1:01
  about asking God for the mercy to see the crack
• 1:04
  before the collapse. Psalm 139 23 -24 says, not
• 1:27
  my spouse, not my friend, not my co -worker,
• 1:30
  not the person whose failure everybody is discussing.
• 1:35
  Search me, search my heart, search my motives,
• 1:39
  search my thoughts, search my desires, search
• 1:42
  my relationships, search my habits, search my
• 1:46
  conversations, search my private life, search
• 1:50
  the places nobody sees, and God, show me the
• 1:54
  crack. Show me what I have been ignoring Show
• 1:58
  me what I have been excusing Show me what I have
• 2:01
  been justifying Show me what I have been hiding
• 2:05
  Show me where my boundaries have moved Show me
• 2:09
  where bitterness has entered Show me where pride
• 2:13
  has taken root Show me where temptation has become
• 2:17
  entertainment Show me where frustration is changing
• 2:21
  my character Show me where disappointment is
• 2:25
  weakening my faith. Show me where exhaustion
• 2:28
  is lowering my defenses. And if there is something
• 2:32
  I have become comfortable with that your spirit
• 2:35
  has been warning me about, make me uncomfortable
• 2:39
  again. Restore my sensitivity to your voice.
• 2:44
  God, don't allow me to normalize what you are
• 2:48
  trying to remove. Don't allow me to defend what
• 2:51
  you are trying to correct. Don't allow me to
• 2:55
  rename compromise because I don't want to confront
• 2:58
  it. Don't allow me to say everybody does it when
• 3:02
  your spirit is telling me this does not belong
• 3:06
  in you. God catch the little foxes before they
• 3:10
  destroy the vineyard. Catch the small compromises.
• 3:14
  Catch the secret resentment. Catch the unhealthy
• 3:18
  attachment. Catch the careless conversation.
• 3:22
  Catch the uncontrolled anger. Catch the hidden
• 3:25
  pride. Catch the neglected prayer life. Catch
• 3:28
  the boundary that keeps moving. Catch the habit
• 3:32
  that keeps growing. Catch it before it grows.
• 3:37
  God, when you warn me, help me listen. When you
• 3:41
  convict me, help me respond. When you correct
• 3:45
  me, give me humility. When you send someone to
• 3:49
  speak truth to me Don't let pride make me reject
• 3:52
  the messenger because I don't like the message
• 3:55
  Give me discernment to recognize when a warning
• 3:58
  is actually mercy God protect me from saying
• 4:02
  I can handle it. It won't happen to me I know
• 4:07
  what I'm doing. I can stop whenever I want. It's
• 4:10
  not that serious Protect me from the arrogance
• 4:14
  of believing that strength makes me immune to
• 4:17
  weakness your word says let him that thinketh
• 4:21
  he standeth take heed lest he fall so God keep
• 4:26
  me watchful keep me humble keep me accountable
• 4:30
  keep me prayerful keep me close to your word
• 4:34
  keep me sensitive to the Holy Spirit and when
• 4:37
  I am tired teach me to rest before exhaustion
• 4:41
  becomes vulnerability when I am discouraged teach
• 4:45
  me to seek you before disappointment becomes
• 4:49
  bitterness. When I am angry, teach me to become
• 4:53
  quiet before anger becomes destruction. When
• 4:57
  I am lonely, protect me from seeking comfort
• 5:00
  in places that can compromise my purpose. When
• 5:04
  I am hurt, protect me from making permanent decisions
• 5:08
  from temporary pain. When I feel misunderstood,
• 5:13
  Keep me from relationships and conversations
• 5:16
  that offer comfort while quietly pulling me away
• 5:19
  from you God restore the boundaries. I have moved
• 5:23
  if I need to walk away Give me courage If I need
• 5:28
  to stop the conversation Give me discipline If
• 5:32
  I need to delete something Give me strength If
• 5:37
  I need to confess something Give me humility
• 5:40
  if I need accountability Give me courage to ask
• 5:44
  for help. If I need to apologize, break my pride.
• 5:48
  If I need to forgive, heal my heart. If I need
• 5:52
  to return, show me the way home. God, don't let
• 5:57
  me wait for catastrophe before I obey your warning.
• 6:01
  I don't wanna wait until everybody sees the collapse
• 6:04
  before I acknowledge the crack you have already
• 6:07
  shown me. Protect my marriage, protect my family.
• 6:12
  Protect my children. Protect my relationships.
• 6:16
  Protect my ministry. Protect my career. Protect
• 6:20
  my calling. Protect my testimony. Protect what
• 6:24
  you have entrusted into my hands. But God, don't
• 6:29
  only protect these things from people around
• 6:31
  me. Protect them from anything within me that
• 6:35
  could destroy them. Protect me from my own pride.
• 6:40
  uncontrolled desires protect me from careless
• 6:44
  words protect me from bitterness protect me from
• 6:48
  secret compromise protect me from spiritual arrogance
• 6:53
  protect me from becoming a danger to the very
• 6:56
  things i am asking you to bless and god if you
• 7:01
  reveal something in me today i will not run from
• 7:05
  the light i will not defend the crack I will
• 7:09
  not cover what you want to heal. I will not silence
• 7:12
  conviction. I will not waste the warning. I choose
• 7:16
  repentance. I choose obedience. I choose accountability.
• 7:21
  I choose discipline. I choose truth. I choose
• 7:24
  restoration. And I declare, the crack will not
• 7:28
  become my collapse. By your grace, I will listen
• 7:33
  while there is still time. I will respond while
• 7:36
  there is still time. I will repair what can be
• 7:40
  repaired while there is still time. I will restore
• 7:44
  the boundary while there is still time. I will
• 7:48
  seek help while there is still time. I will return
• 7:51
  to you while there is still time. God, let my
• 7:55
  testimony not be. I wish I had listened. Let
• 7:59
  my testimony become, God showed me the crack
• 8:03
  and I listened. Thank you for conviction. Thank
• 8:07
  you for warning. Thank you for correction. Thank
• 8:12
  you for people who tell me the truth. Thank you
• 8:15
  for interruptions that protect my future. Thank
• 8:19
  you for loving me enough to confront what could
• 8:22
  eventually destroy me. And if the repair is uncomfortable,
• 8:27
  give me strength to endure it. Because I would
• 8:30
  rather experience the discomfort of correction
• 8:33
  than the the devastation of collapse. Search
• 8:37
  me God, know my heart, try me, know my thoughts.
• 8:42
  And if there is anything in me that does not
• 8:45
  belong in the person you are calling me to become,
• 8:48
  refine it, remove it, heal it, correct it, restore
• 8:54
  it, because I understand you are not revealing
• 8:58
  the crack to humiliate me. You are revealing
• 9:01
  it because you love me. being discarded. I am
• 9:06
  not being abandoned. I am being refined. And
• 9:10
  by your grace, I will not waste the warning in
• 9:14
  the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. If God is showing
• 9:19
  you something through this prayer, don't run
• 9:22
  from his conviction. Bring it into the light.
• 9:26
  Pray about it. Seek accountability where necessary.
• 9:30
  Restore the boundary. Make the correction because
• 9:35
  sometimes God's mercy is not rebuilding everything
• 9:38
  after the collapse Sometimes his mercy is showing
• 9:43
  you the crack before the collapse ever happens
• 9:47
  Always remember you are not alone Pamoja ministry
• 9:57
  is your prayer partner
