The Most Powerful Prayer of Mercy by Apostle Joshua Selman · Selah Media House

• 0:00
  The most powerful prayer of mercy I know in the Bible is
• 0:02
  Psalm 51. Go and read it.
• 0:05
  If you are in trouble and you know that this one, you are
• 0:08
  overwhelmed, go to Psalm 51. Start from verse one to the end.
• 0:13
  Have mercy upon me, O God, according to your loving
• 0:16
  kindness, according to the multitude of your tender messes.
• 0:20
  Blot out my transgression and begin to recite it.
• 0:23
  Wash me thoroughly and cleanse me from my sin, and begin to cry
• 0:27
  that cry of mercy, for I acknowledge my transgression and
• 0:30
  my sin is ever before me. Not as a charm, a chance that
• 0:33
  somebody gave you, and you are reciting something with no
• 0:36
  understanding. When life has overwhelmed you,
• 0:40
  all doors have closed, all help is gone.
• 0:44
  I tell you, take the Psalms and pray it with understanding.
• 0:48
  And then for those of you who can sing this song, take away
• 0:51
  all the the you are not producing an album.
• 0:55
  This is you facing death and you are kind before the Lord.
• 0:59
  When you get to a point where you make him see that there is
• 1:02
  no man who has capacity to rescue me, you will see the
• 1:06
  jealousy of God arise over you. If you have never prayed the
• 1:11
  prayer of mercy, you better learn one and keep it.
• 1:14
  Archive it because for as long as you are alive, days will
• 1:18
  come. No matter how yielded you are,
• 1:21
  you will be faced with situations that your
• 1:24
  intelligence in prayer will not serve.
• 1:26
  You will have to push away all the mechanics and just want
• 1:30
  something that can give you expression to cry as you pray
• 1:33
  and sing. For some of you, this song
• 1:36
  you're hearing, it may not make sense now.
• 1:39
  You may not even know how to sing it in house.
• 1:41
  Perhaps you don't know how to speak it.
• 1:44
  But a day will come. Challenges will force you to
• 1:46
  lend this line. You may not know everything, but
• 1:49
  for some of you, you will just lie down and say, Lord help me,
• 1:52
  I now hear that my brother, my sister has cancer.
• 1:55
  I've done everything I know to do with where are we going to
• 1:59
  get 50 million to take them to India or take them anywhere?
• 2:02
  And even that one does not have a guarantee at that point.
• 2:06
  I'm a Latos theater. Some of you are crying.
• 2:08
  Don't be ashamed of your tears. There are people who have not
• 2:11
  gone through anything in life. Hallelujah, there are people who
• 2:16
  have stood between life and death.
• 2:21
  The cry of mercy. Len Ito Leonard Ellie Leonard
• 2:26
  Ellie God forbid before they tell you that you are finally
• 2:29
  losing your job. Leonard Ellie, God forbid before
• 2:32
  your husband starts misbehaving. Leonard Ellie, before your wife
• 2:36
  starts joining bad companies and behaving somewhere else, learn
• 2:40
  it early so that the day your child starts misbehaving and
• 2:44
  does not reflect the values you raised, in which you can cry to
• 2:47
  God and sing this song as a night vigil, chanting it again
• 2:52
  and crying before your makeup. Man of God, learn it so that the
• 3:01
  day you are persecuted and you do not have the liberty to
• 3:04
  defend yourself, you can stay in the secret place and raise that
• 3:08
  cry to the God of your salvation.
• 3:10
  Learn it so that the day you are incapacitated financially and
• 3:14
  there are bills before you, let it not be that your lips will be
• 3:18
  empty. At such times.
• 3:19
  Spiritual men are not empty. No, there will always be
• 3:23
  something to say towards heaven. Let me encourage you, go back
• 3:28
  home and these are my people, so I have the liberty.
• 3:31
  Get this, get this, this, this, this, this.
• 3:35
  Worship and listen to it again. Use it to pray, even if it's
• 3:40
  just for 10 minutes. Cry to God.
• 3:45
  Cry to God a prayer of salvation.
• 3:49
  Lord, show me mercy. Give my mother a chance to live
• 3:52
  longer. Give my father a chance to live
• 3:55
  longer. Give my husband a chance to see
• 3:58
  your salvation. Take away shame from my life.
• 4:01
  I have exhausted everything I know to do.
• 4:04
  There are certain spiritual realities that are a call and
• 4:09
  response system. They work based on a call and
• 4:12
  response system. It says, call unto me Jeremiah
• 4:16
  33 and verse 3 and I will answer you, if you don't call unto me.
• 4:21
  I see the pain you are going through, but I cannot answer
• 4:23
  you. It says In my distress I cried
• 4:26
  unto the Lord, and he heard me. In my distress I cried unto the
• 4:30
  Lord. Blind Battimio said, Thou son of
• 4:33
  David, have mercy upon me. Jabez cried unto the Lord and
• 4:37
  said, Oh, that thou wouldest bless me.
• 4:39
  Are we together now? Every time people were in
• 4:42
  trouble in Scripture, be it individuals or the nation of
• 4:45
  Israel, they cried unto the Lord.
• 4:47
  The Psalm is full of several cries, crying unto the Lord to
• 4:51
  show up and show you mercy. Someone said a prayer of mercy
• 4:56
  and a prayer of help. Listen to me when your heart is
• 5:00
  overwhelmed and when you are in a situation that needs the mercy
• 5:04
  of God, I'd like you to pray. Pray like Nebuchadnezzar prayed.
• 5:08
  Pray like Jonah prayed. Are we together?
• 5:10
  Even Jesus himself prayed. Because of the agony of
• 5:15
  Gethsemane, He prayed. Father, if it be thy will, take
• 5:19
  this cup off me. Nevertheless, let your will be
• 5:22
  done the prayer of mercy and help.
• 5:26
  Now let me tell you what many people do, especially when they
• 5:29
  are in trouble and things are not working in their lives.
• 5:31
  They ask people to pray for them, but they never pray.
• 5:35
  They discuss with people who have no power to help them, and
• 5:39
  then they spend the time they should be using praying
• 5:43
  attracting sympathy. Are we together in anger?
• 5:50
  If you are related to me and you see my pain and don't help, God
• 5:54
  will judge you. Send send it on the social,
• 5:57
  Instagram or those other things. They send it there and then no
• 6:02
  response. Then they get angry.
• 6:04
  Then they they spend their time attracting sympathy.
• 6:07
  Whereas they can come to the God of all grace and say, Lord, who
• 6:11
  can claim to lift when you do not lift?
• 6:14
  Who can claim to show mercy if you do not show mercy?
• 6:17
  Except the Lord built a house, the labour in vain that build
• 6:21
  it, Except the Lord watches over his city, the watchman watch
• 6:24
  that, but in vain. He said it is vain to wake up
• 6:26
  early in the morning and to sleep late in the night, only to
• 6:29
  eat the bread of sorrow, but he gives his beloved sleep.
• 6:34
  Do you believe in the prayer of mercy?
• 6:36
  You believe in the prayer of help?
• 6:38
  I'm reminded of Psalm 20. I always like to pray that
• 6:42
  prayer. Let me pray for you.
• 6:44
  Verse one. Give it to U.S. media.
• 6:46
  The Lord here did the day of trouble, the name of the God of
• 6:51
  Jacob, defend you, leave US1 The Lord He had in the day of
• 6:55
  trouble the name of the God of Jacob, defend you one last time.
• 7:00
  The Lord He had in the day of trouble, the God of Jacob,
• 7:04
  defend you. Verse 2, send you help from His
• 7:08
  sanctuary, and may He strengthen you out of Zion.
• 7:12
  Verse 2 again, may He send you help from His sanctuary, and may
• 7:16
  He strengthen you out of Zion in the name of Jesus Christ.
• 7:21
  When Jonah was in the belly of the fish, he did not waste his
• 7:24
  time. I wish we had time to consider
• 7:26
  the prayer of Jonah. That should be chapter 2 or so
• 7:29
  or chapter 1. Now while the fish was there, he
• 7:33
  cried by reason of his affliction.
• 7:34
  He says, I have us too. I cried by reason of my
• 7:37
  affliction to the Lord, and he heard me out of the belly of
• 7:42
  hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice, For Thou has cast me
• 7:49
  into the deep in the midst of the sea, and the floods
• 7:51
  encompass me round about all Thy billows and thy whales pass over
• 7:55
  me, it says. Then I said, I am cast out of
• 7:59
  thy sight, yet I will look again towards your holy temple.
• 8:02
  Verse 5. The waters compass me, and the
• 8:05
  depth, and so on and so forth. Verse 6.
• 8:08
  You'll just tempt me to continue.
• 8:09
  Let's try. Verse 6.
• 8:10
  I went down to the bottom of the mountains.
• 8:13
  The earth with her bars was about me forever.
• 8:16
  Yet hast thou brought me up? Hast thou brought up my life
• 8:20
  from corruption? Oh Lord my God, you know there
• 8:23
  are ways that you just pray and cry towards the Lord.
• 8:26
  He sees that you are sincere. And sometimes you may not have
• 8:29
  all the intelligence in prayer. It may just be a very sincere
• 8:33
  cry.
