- 0:00Speaker 1: Good morning, Good morning, good morning. It is time for
- 0:01Speaker 1: us to go to God in prayer, and as always
- 0:03Speaker 1: we ask that you join along with us. You know
- 0:07Speaker 1: today is Juneteenth. Today is a federal holiday where we
- 0:12Speaker 1: celebrate the ending of slavery. But if I can be honest,
- 0:17Speaker 1: some of us are still enslave. We're enslaved to sin.
- 0:21Speaker 1: So today God, we come to you. You said in
- 0:24Speaker 1: your word that if we confess our sins, that you
- 0:27Speaker 1: are faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us
- 0:31Speaker 1: of all unrighteousness. You said in your word God, if
- 0:35Speaker 1: the sun makes us free, we will be free. Indeed,
- 0:39Speaker 1: we're enslaved sometimes to sin, alcoholism and drugs, food, lying, backbiting.
- 0:47Speaker 1: Sometimes we're enslaved to trying to keep up with the
- 0:51Speaker 1: jones is. If we're completely honest, we're enslaved to things.
- 0:55Speaker 1: We're enslave to ambition, and ambition has its place, but
- 1:01Speaker 1: not when you've made it an idol, or when you've
- 1:04Speaker 1: made it a god. So we come to you and
- 1:07Speaker 1: lay our hearts at your feet. Show us our heart.
- 1:10Speaker 1: If there's anything that's not like you, God, reveal it
- 1:13Speaker 1: to us, because we want hearts that are pure, imperfect,
- 1:16Speaker 1: towards you. Reveal to us anything God that we're placing
- 1:20Speaker 1: above you, reveal to us anything God that we're still
- 1:24Speaker 1: enslaved to. We want to be free, indeed, we want
- 1:27Speaker 1: to be free to serve You. We want to be
- 1:29Speaker 1: free to worship you. We want to be free so
- 1:32Speaker 1: that you can order our steps and your word and
- 1:35Speaker 1: in your way, so we can fulfill our purpose and
- 1:37Speaker 1: our destiny here in the earth. God, We trust you,
- 1:42Speaker 1: We love you, God and Father. We thank you in
- 1:45Speaker 1: advance for the freedom that you promise to us. You
- 1:50Speaker 1: set us free, God, and we want to be free, indeed,
- 1:53Speaker 1: in Jesus' name, Amen,
