Lord Give Me a Praying Spirit BISHOP TD JAKES · Pst T.D Jakes -The POTTER'S HOUSE

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Excited about what God is doing. I really feel like
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: God has called us in the prayer. How many of
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: you are experiencing life-changing moves of God because of your
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: prayer life? Are you feeling a new dimension of prayer?
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: This is good. This is not just normal, dry, routine stuff.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: God's doing something. Mark 11, 22. Let's go. That's not
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: like you tonight. And Jesus actually said unto them, have
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: faith in God. And Jesus answering said unto them, have
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: faith in God. Let me tell you something about prayer
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: so you understand this. Because if you're going to get
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: into a prayer module where you consistently pray, you're not
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: going to always be able to pray at the top
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: of your lungs or in a spiritual fit. Okay? You
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: need to understand that though we are emotional and we
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: can be emotional when we pray and it's our privilege
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: to vent our feelings when we pray, that our feelings
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: is not going to be the punch that moves God.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: It's going to be an issue of faith. It's going
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: to be an issue of faith. One of the greatest
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: deliverances I ever got in my life, I smoked cigarettes
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: for years and years and years. One night I decided
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: I was going to give them to God. I was
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: sick of them. I didn't want them in my life anymore.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: I was growing in the Lord and I was ashamed
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: of the struggle in my life. And I came to
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: the altar. I gave it to God. Wasn't slain in
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: the spirit. Didn't fall out. Didn't pass out. Didn't go
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: into a Holy Ghost coma. Just made a decision, a
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: conscious decision. This is it. I'm through with this. I'm
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: laying this down tonight. And by faith, I'm not going
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: to do this anymore. That's been umpteen boodle scat years ago.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: And the only nicotine you'll find in my lungs is
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: secondhand smoke that I got from sitting around somebody else
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: who was smoking. Years and years and years. Wasn't a feeling.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Wasn't slain in the spirit. Didn't fall out. Received by faith.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: By faith. Faith is going to be the premise that
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: unlocks everything for you in the kingdom. You need to
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: understand that. If you have a battle, it's going to
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: be a faith battle. Don't worry about your feelings. Feelings
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: make no difference. It's going to be a faith battle.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Can you believe it? Because you can only receive to
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: the capacity that you believe. So the first thing you
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: need to understand about prayer is not how loud, not
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: how long, not how demonstrative, but how much faith do
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: you believe that you are talking to God and that
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: he heard you? Okay, read, read, have faith in God.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: For verily I say unto you, that whosoever shall say
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: unto this mountain, be thou removed, and be thou cast
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: into the sea, and shall not doubt in his heart,
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: but shall believe that those things which he said shall
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: come to pass, and he shall have whatsoever he said.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Therefore I say.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: Unto you, what things soever ye desire.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: No, I don't want that. Stop right there. Now, he
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: puts things in scale. He's talking about moving a mountain.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: With a mustard seed. Moving a mountain with a mustard seed.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Moving the mighty with the smallest. He wants you to
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: know how concentrated faith is. Faith is so potent and
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: so powerful. He says you can move a mountain. It's
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: not necessarily literally talking about a mountain unless you have
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: a need for a mountain to be moved. If you
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: have a need for a mountain to be moved and
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: you don't have a bulldozer and don't have a shovel,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: then this could literally work. But God never exercises miracles
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: where you can exercise the ordinary. So if you want
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: a mountain moved and you got a shovel, don't pray. Dig.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: I have to say that because you'll waste your faith
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: on silly stuff. Believe in God to get you dressed
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: in the morning. No, just get up. Put your clothes on.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: And you use your faith for things that you can't
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: do through any other vehicle. Are you seeing what I'm saying?
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: But the scale of faith is the mighty is moved
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: by the minute. So it's not how big. It's not
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: how loud. It's not how long. It's not any of that.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: It's how convicted you are about it and how convinced
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: you are about it. And if you are convinced about it,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: if you can get that much conviction about what you're
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: praying for, you can get that much reaction. Amen. So
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: you need to put your faith in scale and it's
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: showing you this much faith will move this much trouble.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: And it's almost embarrassing if you are sitting up here
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: in a believer and having massive troubles. It's almost embarrassing
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: that you're being overwhelmed when the Bible has said if
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: you just have this much faith without doubting in your heart.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: And you believe that you will receive what you have
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: asked for. Ye shall have it. And I believe, and
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: I don't want to labor on this because I've got
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: so much to give you tonight I won't get done.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: But I see people trying to work themselves into faith
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: and trying to conjure up faith and trying to use
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: willpower to get faith. And I don't believe that's faith
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: at all. Faith is such a divine thing, it's almost
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: hard to articulate. It's something, and I believe that God
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: gives you faith. I don't believe it's something that you
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: can work up yourself. I believe that God deals. In fact,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: the scripture says God has dealt to every man the
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: measure of faith. But when you get faith for anything,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: it's a result of a divine impartation. And it's not
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: something that you struggle to believe. You just believe you
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: shall have it. And you should only operate in areas
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: where you believe you shall have it. If you don't
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: believe you shall have it, leave it alone. Because it
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: is your ability and the propensity that you have to
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: believe that you're going to receive. All right? Now give
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: me my next verse.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: Therefore, I say unto you.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: On the basis of the scale of faith and the
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: potency of faith and the fact that he's told you
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: not to have any doubt when you come to your mountains.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Now you got a mountain on one side and you
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: look at your reservoir and you got that much faith.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: And he says, have no doubt that's enough. And he says, therefore,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: I say unto you, watch this.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: What things so ever ye desire.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: What things so ever ye desire. Desire. Now desire is
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: a potent thing. It is a potent thing. He said,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: whatsoever things ye desire. That's why you can't operate in
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: faith over what somebody else wants you to have. Because
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: your wanting me to have it won't produce it. I
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: have to have a desire about it. And if I
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: had time to really teach that desire effectively, but desire
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: is not my assignment tonight, but if it were, I
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: would take you to another scripture and show you how
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: God will give you the desires of your heart. And
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: then I would probably bust your tradition because most people
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: who quote that scripture think that it means that God
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: is saying that he's Santa Claus and he's going to
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: give you the desires of your heart. But that's not
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: what he's saying. He is saying that he will give you,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: he will put the desires in your heart. That he
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: will give you the desires of your heart. That he
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: will put in you a passion for certain things. And
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: if you think about it, you and you're a born
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: again believer, you know that things that you used to desire,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: he has taken away from you. And he has put
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: new desires in you that you didn't have before. Those
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: new desires are the potency that you need to operate
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: in your prayer life. God has given you, born again believer,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: the desires that are in your heart. Oh God, I
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: wish I had time to go into that. Look at this.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Eyes have not seen, ears have not heard, neither have
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: entered into the heart of man the things that God
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: has in store for them that love him. But it
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: have been revealed on us by his spirit. Means that
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit has shown you things that God has
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: in store for you that you haven't even gotten yet. Now,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: second scripture, the Spirit of God beareth witness. What the
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Spirit of God is doing is showing you things to come.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: When it advertises things that you haven't even gotten yet,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: you get the desire to go after it. Let me
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: back it up with more Bible. God said to Joshua,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: here's the Holy Spirit showing him things he has in
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: store for him. I have given you the land. To
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: possess it. Now Joshua gets the desire to take it
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: because God has shown it to him before he got it.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Are you understanding what I'm saying? And periodically when you start,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: that's why you got to get in the spirit because
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: when you get in the spirit, the Holy Spirit will
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: give you commercials and show you things to come And
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: it is those commercials that give you godly desires that
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: you didn't have before. And it is to that level
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: of Christianity that he now says, whatsoever ye desire. He's
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: not talking to you carnal Christians because you're not there yet.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Because you're still desiring somebody else's wife. I might as
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: well cut to the chase. And he can't give you
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: that kind of power yet because he hadn't purged your
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: desires enough to give you that kind of power. This
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: is for somebody who's been walking in the spirit close
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: enough that the spirit's been able to extract some of
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: your carnal desires and implant some divine desires. And now
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: God can trust you with this power. And he says,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: whatsoever things ye desire. Amen. See, now it's showing you,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: oh God, now it's showing you because the frustration is
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: when the Holy Spirit gives you new desires, you've got
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: this passion for something you haven't got yet. It's in you,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: but it hasn't materialized around you yet. So the issue is,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: how do I birth outwardly what I long for inwardly?
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: It might be, and it may not be a house,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: a car, a tangible thing. It may be a deeper
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: walk with God. It may be a stronger walk in
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: the spirit. But there's something in God that I'm longing for,
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: and I sense that it's mine, but I don't know
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: how to birth it into the natural realm. So the
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: scripture says, whatsoever things ye desire, when you pray. In fact,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: one translation says, whatsoever things ye desire, this pray. Okay,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: don't even pray about it if you don't have a
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: passion for it. God said, if it don't bother you,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: it don't bother me. Don't bring up stuff to God
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: just because you're supposed to pray about it. Just saying
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: stuff that you don't have no passion for. Don't nobody
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: want no cold kiss. God says, if you don't care about,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: don't just be up in my faith asking me to
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: do things that you don't have a passion for. Because see,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: your passion is an indication that the Holy Spirit has
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: shown it to you and it's yours. And it's your
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: intensity about it that gives you the fervor to be
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: able to pray. So he said, whatsoever things ye desire.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: When you pray, believe. Now he's showing you how to
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: get what you have in you to come out and
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: be birthed in your life. How can I get it
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: out of me? In my spirit, I hear the sound
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: of an abundance of rain. But when I look out
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: my eyes, I see nothing but drought. He says, well,
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: when you pray, believe you have received it and ye
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: shall have it. So in the illustration that I just
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: snuck in there and gave you about Elijah praying for rain,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: in his spirit, he heard the sound of abundance of rain.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: When he looked outside, he didn't see any rain at all.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: When he kept sending his servant out to say, do
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: you see anything? The servant kept coming back saying, I
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: don't see anything. He kept saying, go back again. When
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: you got it in your spirit, you got to reject
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: every negative voice that says you're not going to get
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: it until you see the thing happen in your life. Amen.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: Are you hearing what I'm saying? Because you'll never get
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: it out until you believe you have received it. Your
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: ability to believe you have received it is what makes
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: you able to have it. In fact, actually, you get
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: it before you got it. You understand what I'm saying?
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: It's yours before it's yours. I want to talk about
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: some prayer tonight. Is that all right? Is that all
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: of that? All right, that's good. Now, I want to
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: talk about diverse prayer. There are different kinds of prayer.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: And this is important. Because if you don't understand this,
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: you really won't unlock the full potential of prayer and
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: everything that God wants to do in your life. Okay?
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: So I want to talk about diverse prayer. Okay? Go
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: to 1 Corinthians 14. And read 1 Corinthians 14.2.
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: 1 Corinthians 14.2 says, For he that speaketh in an
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: Okay, I want to start out talking about praying in
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: the Spirit. Because that is a part of prayer that
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: is empowering. But there's two reasons I want to talk
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: about it. One is some of you don't desire it
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: because you don't understand it. And some of you have
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: it but don't benefit from it because you don't understand it.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: Now, read it again. He that speaketh in an unknown tongue.
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: unto men, but unto God.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: He that speaketh in an unknown tongue is not talking
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: to men, they're talking to God. The best illustration that
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: I can think of to give you of speaking in
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: an unknown tongue, in tongues in general, is a telephone.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: A telephone rings both ways. It can receive calls or
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: send calls. it has the propensity to do both levels
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: of communication. Tongues have the propensity to operate in two levels.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: One is for God to ring in. When God rings
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: through you, it's other tongues, and it is interpretable, and
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: it is the Holy Spirit speaking through you to the church. Okay,
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: that those tongues are interpretable and need to be interpreted
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: because I want to know what the Lord is saying
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: through you because it's through you, but it may be
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: to me. That's what happens Sunday morning in the 8 a.m. service.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: They begin to speak in other tongues. And the Bible
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: said that he that speaketh in other tongues, let him
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: pray that he may be able to interpret. And if
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: you can't interpret and there be no interpreter, then you're
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: supposed to keep silent. You are not supposed to hold
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: up the service for 35 minutes. If we are not
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: going to be edified by it, then it profiteth nothing. Amen.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: But that is totally different from he that prayeth in
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: an unknown tongue. That is not interpretable because he that
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: prayeth in an unknown tongue is not God speaking to us.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: It's my spirit speaking to God. And even if you
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: have the gift of interpretation, it will not interpret because
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: I am speaking mysteries unto God. Or to break it
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: down quite frankly, it's none of your business. So God
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: ain't going to let you top my line. Because when
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: I'm praying in an unknown tongue, not only does he
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: keep you out of my business, he keeps me out
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: of my business. Because praying in the spirit is for
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: those times that we don't even trust our own intellect. Amen.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: And people who, let me say this to you, people
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: who are really impressed with their own intellectual capacities have
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: trouble moving in the realms of the spirit because they
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: are so impressed with their ability to think that they
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: think they have to understand everything and anything they don't
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: understand they can't do, which works well in the secular,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: but it works terribly in the spiritual realm. Because the
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: ways of God are past finding out. God says, I'm
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: not going to explain to you everything I am. I'm
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: going to do it because your finite mind cannot understand
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: my infinite capacities. And so you are going to have
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: to receive some things by faith. Are you with me?
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: Give me the scripture again. Heed.
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: unto men, but unto God.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: Tell somebody to say they're not talking to you, they're
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: talking to God. Is that clear? Read on.
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: For no man understandeth him. How be it in the spirit?
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: For no man understandeth him. No man. No man understandeth him.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: How be it?
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: In the spirit, he speaketh mysteries.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: How be it in the spirit, he speaketh mysteries. Now,
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: somebody says, if I don't understand it, what is the
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: need of doing it? Let me explain to you something.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: There are some things that you go through that you
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: don't know what to pray for. You don't know whether
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: to say, God, bring me out of it or bring
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: it out of me. You know, you just cannot regulate. See,
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: when you start giving, see, when you don't understand this, see,
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: some of you are so used to bossing everybody that
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: when you pray, you want to tell God what to do.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: But the reality is, if you keep living, pretty soon
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: you're going to lose being impressed with your own abilities.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: And you're going to come to a point that you
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: don't know what to say. You don't know somebody on
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: a respirator. You don't know whether to say, God, raise
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: them up or send them home. You don't know what
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: the will of God is. You don't know what the
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: will of God is about a test or a trial,
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: about somebody you're getting ready to marry. You don't know
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: whether it's the right one or not. You can't trust
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: your mind to pray because they got your mind. So
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: it's time for you to start praying in the spirit.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: This is one of the many, many illustrations that I
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: can give you. At times that you just don't know what,
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: you don't know what to ask God to do. And
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: so when you start praying in the spirit, let me
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: say this quickly. I got so much I want to
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: give you in so little time. See, when you start
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: praying in the spirit, normally, normally when you communicate, there
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: are three parts of man. He's spirit, he's soul, which
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: is mind. Soul is the Greek word psyche where we
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: get psychology. It's the seat of our affection, our mind,
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: our emotions, our memories, our past. That's our soulish realm.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: And in our spirit, we have God consciousness. In our soul,
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: we have self-consciousness. And in our body, we have world consciousness.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go over that again because I want
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: you to understand it. In our spirit, we have God consciousness.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: In our soul, we have self-consciousness, and in our body,
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: we have world consciousness. If you had no body, you'd
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: have no world consciousness. When your body dies, dead people
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: don't get cold. They don't get hot. Flies can light
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: on the nose of the person in the casket. They
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: don't flinch. You know why? The body is dead. That
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: means it's only through your body that you have association
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: with tangible things, and you lose world consciousness when your
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: body dies. That's what your body gives you. It gives
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: you the ability to operate in the world and to
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: be conscious of worldly things. Your soul gives you self-consciousness.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: In your soul, you have memories. You have affections. You
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: have desires. You have passions. That's where your past is.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: That's where your warfare is. If you're dysfunctional, that's generally
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: where you're dysfunctional. In your soulish realm, all of that's
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: going on in your soul, in your mind. In your psyche.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: And that's what gives you self-consciousness. You know who you are.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: You know where you are. You know what's going on.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: If you lost all of that, you could be here
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: and not know it. Body's still alive. Spirit's still alive. Soul, gone.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: Don't even know it. Don't know anything. Lost self-consciousness. Most
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: things that we do, we do in the soulless realms.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: That's why the enemy fights with us over our minds.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: The Bible said it is with the mind that we
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: serve the Lord. The enemy fights with you in your
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: mind because most of your commands and functions and decisions
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: are made out of your mind. What you think, what
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: you feel, what your ideas are. And the problem is
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: with that is many times your mind is dysfunctional. You
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: don't want nobody to know this, but your mind is
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: dysfunctional because they're still holding on to what you were.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: And now it's got the added trouble of dealing with
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: who you are and what you were and who you
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: are are in a dog fight all the time. Till
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: most of the time you're so confused and so stressed
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: out trying to be who you are and not what
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: you were. But relapsing sometimes back to what you were
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: and trying to get out before anybody finds out and
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: messes up who you are. That your mind is just
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: stressed out, just freaked completely out, and you can't trust decisions.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: But it's your mind where you decide, I want a
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: blue dress, not a white dress. I want a red house,
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: not a blue house. And a lot of things that
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: we pray about in that realm, especially real deep people
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: who stand out in front of parking lots and ask God,
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: do you want me to have the blue car or
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: the white car, are really people who need to come
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: to Bible class. They really do need to come to
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: the black place because God really doesn't care whether you
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: have a blue car, red car. He doesn't care whether
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: you buy the Volkswagen or the Mercedes. It makes him
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: absolutely no difference. God was God before Henry Ford made cars,
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: so it's really not a big deal to him. He
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: had people who served him for years on camels. So
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: it makes him no different. It has nothing to do
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: with eternal life whether you have a car at all.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: He doesn't care whether you have a pool or a
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: bathtub or whether you blow up something and get in
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: the yard and get in the yard and swim back
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: and forth on your front porch. It makes God no difference.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: The earth is the Lord's fullness of the world and
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: they that dwell therein. So don't be stupid in an
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: attempt to be deep trying to impress God with pseudo-spirituality.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: You are just weird. You're just weird. And many times
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: spiritual people go into weirdness. And when you don't go
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: with them, they get mad and leave. You know, and
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: the Lord was telling me to do something and they
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: just didn't want to obey God. No, it's not that
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: we don't want to obey God. We don't want to
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: obey your crazy mind that's controlling you and making you
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: do crazy stuff. And you want to invite us into
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: your circus and we don't have no ticket and we
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: don't want to go. We don't want to go. We
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: don't want to go. You're just tripping and we're not going.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: And you need to just sit down somewhere and get
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: some word in you and get taught so that you
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: can discern the difference between what your head is saying
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: and what God is saying. I'm telling you, I don't
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: have time for it, okay? Now, that's where we are
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: and that's where we operate. That's where we marry. That's
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: where we love. That's where we lust. That's where we
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: have passion. All in our minds, okay? When God gets
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: ready to give you something, many times he has to
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: bypass your mind because your mind would mess it up.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: Either your mind would be so dysfunctional that you couldn't
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: conceive that it's yours and you couldn't believe and you
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: couldn't see yourself with it because you have low self-esteem.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: Or you're on the other extreme, you're so aggressive and
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: you think you ought to have everything that if God
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: would show you something he was going to give you later,
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: you'd kill everybody trying to get it ahead of time.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: So God has to often bypass your stinking thinking and
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: put it in your spirit. In your heart. And when
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: you get ready to pray perfectly, perfect prayers, complete whole prayers,
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: then you pray in the spirit because when you pray
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: in the spirit, you bypass all this crazy stuff going
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: on in your head. Amen. disengage what you think and
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: start praying in the spirit and your mind is having
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: to figure what you say what you say but where
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: we going now what we doing what y'all talking about
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: what's going on what does that mean what's going on
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: what's happening wait i'm not in control i'm not in
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: control i'm not in control i must be in control
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: what are you saying why don't you stop saying that
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: say something i can control Because your head has been
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: running your life for the past 58 years. And that's
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: why you're in the mess you're in right now. Because
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: you had to understand everything. You have wrecked your life
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: running your business. Control freaks always have to know what
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: they're saying. And the spirit wants to lead your life.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: And in order to lead your life, it has to
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: bypass all of this sick, encrusted, scab ridden stuff that's
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: going on in your mind that is being delivered. Your
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: mind has not been delivered. It is being delivered. Your
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: spirit is delivered. Your mind is being delivered and your
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: body shall be delivered. So when God gets ready to
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: perfectly communicate with you, he doesn't deal with the part
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: of you that shall be delivered, your body, or your mind,
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: which is being delivered. He goes right to your spirit
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: that is already delivered. I don't know how to make
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: it any plainer than that. Are you seeing what I'm saying?
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: And so when you start praying in the spirit, you
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: are praying in the part of you that's already been complete.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: The only part of you that is born again is
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: your spirit. You know your body ain't born again. If
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: you think your body's born again, take your shoe off
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: and look at that corn on your ugly foot. Your
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: body's not born again. Your body just, if you had
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: funny looking feet before you got saved, they're still funny
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: looking right now. If you had a mole on your
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: nose before you got saved, it's still on your face.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: Your body ain't changed. You're still ugly. You saved and
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: you got the joy of the Lord. You done got
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: so happy you forgot. Look at them here. You still
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: look like your mama now. Even though you feel new
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: and you feel all vibrant, you feel like the joy
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: of the Lord is all over you. but you still
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: got your daddy's nose, your mama's lips, your grandmama's teeth
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: and all that stuff. It has not been changed. Now
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: your mind is being changed. And it's really schizo because
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: it's sending you all kind of signals. One minute it
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: wants to pray and go into deep consecration and it's
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: ready to build three tabernacles. Next minute it wants to
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: cuss somebody out. If you said everything you thought, nobody
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: would respect you. So you have to say the part
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: that's been delivered and hold on to the part that's
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: not delivered. And sometimes that'll change in the middle of
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: the paragraph, depending on who came around you at that
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: particular moment. See, I like to tell the truth. People
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: don't like it when you tell the truth, but I
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: just like to be real. Just be real. You know
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: you want to go off But your spirit is not
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: going through all of those crises. Your spirit is complete
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: in him. It's in your spirit that you have, possess
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: right now, eternal life. And the reason God, oh God,
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to ever finish doing this. But the
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: reason God recreated your spirit first is because God is
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: a spirit. And they that worship him must worship him
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: in spirit and in truth. He said, I can make
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: it without your body being changed and I can deal
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: with your crazy head. But if you're going to worship me,
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: you got to worship me in spirit and in truth.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: So I'm going to start delivering at the part of
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: you that is most like me. So that we can
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: communicate spirit to spirit.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: So when you start talking about praying in the spirit,
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: you are communicating to God spirit to spirit rather than
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: spending all night telling God who knows everything what you think.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: Because how can God really benefit by what you think?
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: Amen.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: The biggest benefit you get out of praying with an
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: understanding is that you get to vent what you think
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: and get all of that scarred stuff out of you
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: in prayer so that God can replace all of that
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: scarred damaged tissue in your head with his own divine purpose.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: And it's through when you pray with an understanding, then
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: you are casting all your cares on him for he
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: cares for you. You're getting rid of stuff. You're dumping stuff.
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: You're releasing stuff. You're venting stuff. You're crying. You're getting emotional.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: You're opening your heart before God. You're talking about your childhood.
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: You're talking about that girl on the job that you
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: wanted to slap Monday at 3 o'clock. You're getting all
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: of that stuff out of you so that God can
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: put more of him in you. And you have to
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: express what you understand so that he can give you
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: what you don't understand. I don't know how to make
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: that any clearer than that. If you understood that, clap. Okay,
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: read on.
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: Verse 15 says, what is it then? I will pray
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: with the spirit and I will pray with the understanding also.
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: In verse 15, Paul says, don't stop doing one for
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: the other. He says, you're going to need to do both.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: What is it then? He says, I will pray. I
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: will pray with the spirit and I will pray with
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: an understanding also. Be sure you underline I will. Because
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: that means that the controlling button over which language you
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: use is in your will. God put the switch in you.
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: That's why he said the spirit of the prophet is
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: subject to the prophet. That's why he said, when you prophesy,
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: he said, prophesy by course. That means that if I
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: start speaking in tongues, and Sister Twigs starts speaking in tongues,
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: one of us has to decide to shut up. Which
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: means we do have some control. Let me touch on
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: one other thing so you know. When a prophecy is
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: coming through the church, no matter how wonderful it is,
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: don't scream, don't holler, don't shout, listen. Until the prophecy
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: is over, then have a conniption. Because the scripture said
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: he that hath an ear, let him hear what the
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: Spirit is saying to the church. God's word is too
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: important for you to go into a fit and mishap
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: for what he's saying because he's not guaranteed to repeat
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: himself ever again.
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: Amen.
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: So when you see somebody going into a fit, shush them.
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: And if they won't shush, help them out. I come
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: out to old church, they take you out. If you
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: lost it because of new babes, sometimes they don't know.
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: And you don't have to be mean to people they
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: don't know. And they're so excited and they got the
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: joy of the Lord. But the rest of us want
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: to hear. Because we're going to make decisions and respond
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: to things. And we need divine direction. Is this clear? Yes.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: If you don't have a prayer language and you're a
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: born again Christian, all you have to do is ask
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: him for it. The Bible said, ask and it shall
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: be given. Seek and you shall find. Knock and the
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: door shall be opened. It said, if you being evil
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: know how to give good gifts to your children, how
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: much more will the Father give the Holy Spirit to
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: them that ask it? And if you just ask him,
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: God said, it's for you. And it just gives you
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: the ability to operate beyond the natural to operate in
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: the spiritual arena. Has nothing to do with the potter's house.
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: You don't ever have to join this church. You can
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: still belong to the Catholic Church or the first frigidier
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: or the first friar baptized or the first guy that's
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: going on incorporated by Christ. It has nothing to do
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: with that. I don't care. You can be Baptist, Baptocostal, AME, CME, OME, YME, CBA.
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: It's all good. This is not denominational. It transcends denominations.
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: It is something that has to do with your faith
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: and your desire to receive from God. Am I helping anybody? Okay,
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: let's go on because I can be long with it.
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: Go to Ephesians. No, go to Jude. I want to
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: give you just one more scripture. Go to Jude 120.
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: Jude 120. I just want to give you because I
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: want you because we're getting ready to pray like we
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: never prayed before. jude 120 is one verse but it's
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: powerful but.
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: Ye beloved building up yourselves on your most holy.
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: But you wait wait i'm gonna wait on them to
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: get there i still hear pages turning jude okay jude
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: 20 there's only one chapter jude 520 They ain't never
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: find it. They just look at it. I can't find it.
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: It ain't in there. Just one chapter, okay? The 20th verse,
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: when you have it, say amen. If you're still looking, say,
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: wait a minute.
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: You come out of Exodus, you'll find it. It's Go
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: to Revelations and turn back because you'll bump right into it. Okay,
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: you know where Revelations is? I'm just teasing with you.
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: I'm not making fun of you. You got to learn.
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: You don't know, you got to learn. Ain't nothing wrong
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: with that. It's cool. We're just playing with you because
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: we love you. And we ain't got nothing else to
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: do in this high stall for more time. I'm trying
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: to help you out. Got to entertain the natives. Go
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: to Jude 20. You ready? Let's do it.
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: But ye beloved.
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: But ye beloved.
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: Bidding up yourselves.
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: And if you read Jude 18, 19, you'll find out
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: what it talks about. These men were sensual, having not
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: the spirit. And sensual is not sexual. It just means
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: that they're controlled by their senses. That's what sensual really
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: means is to be led by your senses. But it
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: says in contrast to people who are led by their senses.
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: That's why it says, but ye beloved. Come on.
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: Building up yourselves.
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: Building up yourself. Now, is there anybody in here who
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: would not want to be able to build themselves up?
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: Wouldn't it be nice when you incur damage, whether emotionally
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: or spiritually or financially or in any area of your life,
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: that you could just stop and say, wait a minute.
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: and build back up what you lost by yourself without
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: needing anybody. calling anybody making an appointment to see anybody
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: or calling Maggie Sue on the telephone to just be
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: able to have within your own capacity the ability to
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: reconstruct the damaged part of you do you understand that
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: God designed your body to do that That when you
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: cut yourself that your skin cells immediately begin to stitch
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: back the damaged place? Because God is in the business
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: of teaching you how to build up yourself. One of
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: the reasons that people struggle, and I hate to get
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: on this again, but one of the reasons that people
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: struggle being in a ministry of this size is because
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: we are hooked on having other people build us up.
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: And a ministry of this size does not allow you
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: to have crutches. If you don't get built up by
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: the word, you cannot be built up. Because there's only
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: one of me and there's 19,000 of y'all. And if
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: you got any math skills at all... How dare you
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: expect me to be able to take care of you?
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: Because if I take care of you, it's only right
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: that I take care of her and her and him
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: and him and her. I can't do that. So what
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: God says, instead of giving you me, seeing as I
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: am a limited resource, I give you him because he
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: is limitless. But some of you have trouble with that.
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: Because you are used to being catered to, massaged, bathed,
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: rubbed down, pampered, and put to bed. Now, you can
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: do that when you got one baby. I just got
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: through talking to Marcus Dawson. They got one baby, and
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: the baby up all night. They hold the baby, pass
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: the baby around. They said, oh, we can't let the
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: baby down. Can't sit him down. He'll cry. He'll cry.
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: You know what I said? Have some more. The only
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: reason that you can't set the baby down is because
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: you ain't got but one. I have five. If you
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: have five, you will set them jokers down. If you
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: have 15, you will lock them up in the house
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: and leave. If you got 19,000, you.
• 41:51
  Speaker 4: Won't come on.
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: What this forces you to do is to take the
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: principles that are being taught and learn how to operate
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: them in your life so that you can build up yourself,
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: which is so much better. Suppose I die. You can't
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: stop living because I'm dead. Suppose I backslide. You can't
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: backslide because I'm backslide. I'm not God. Anything could happen
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: to me. When I give you the word, I've given
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: you the best stuff I got. I've been trying to
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: make it like you. I'm a man of like passions.
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: You know what's up with you. Me too. That's so
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: relieving to be able to say that. Isn't that nice?
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: Not to have to be Superman. Feels good to be
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: Clark Kent. I like that. Take him boots off, put
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: the cape in the closet, just be you. And so
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to equip you as the Bible has taught
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: me and what God has called me to do is
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: to equip you so that you might be able to
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: build up yourself. Now everybody in here wants to be
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: able to do that, don't they? Read on. I'll show
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: you how.
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: On your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost.
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: He says the best way to build yourself up in
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: your most holy faith is to pray in the Holy Ghost.
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: He says when you get ready to build yourself up,
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: move your mind out of it and let your spirit break.
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: Your spirit knows exactly where the damage is. It knows
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: exactly what the problem is. It has assessed you. It
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: has assessed God's will. It knows what God's will is
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: for you. It's already seen the commercial of the things
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: that God has in store for you. It doesn't have
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: to pray, if it be thy will, Lord. The spirit
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: already knows what the will is. Are you seeing what
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: I'm saying? I don't know how to make it no
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: better than that. That's good. I can go get somebody
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: else's book. You can go further. Okay. I will say
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: this about that. And this is not a ploy. And
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: I don't, they hate when I do this. I'm sorry.
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: But that means that it may not be in the
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: bookstore now. But there is a book. Which one? About
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit. Anointing Fall on Me. Yeah. Thank you.
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: I've written so many books I can't think of the
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: name of. Anointing Follow Me. If you're interested in receiving
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: the baptism of the Holy Spirit or you have the
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: baptism of the Holy Spirit and you want more details
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: and more teaching about it, get that book, Anointing Follow Me.
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: Don't get it if you're not going to read it.
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: We don't need to say, yeah, and apply it. Yeah,
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: and apply it. But if you want to go to
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: the next level, and I haven't spent enough time on it,
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: get the book and exhaust that. And if that's not enough,
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: get the book and the Bible and ask God. Any
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: man like wisdom, let him ask God. I'll give you
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: what I can, okay? Okay, now we're going on. Go
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: to Ephesians 6, 18. gosh. Ephesians 6, 18. When you
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: have it, say amen. Amen.
• 45:47
  Speaker 3: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the spirit.
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: Wait a minute, they're still looking. If you're still looking,
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: say wait a minute. You got it now, say I'm ready.
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: You still looking, say hold up. See, the reason I
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: try to take the time to let you find it
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: so you can mark your Bible, you can write in
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: your Bible. I found out the best teaching I ever did,
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: the most effective teaching I ever did was not when
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: I ran so fast that I wooed you with information
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: that you never got. But when I move slowly and
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: methodically enough that you can take the word and make
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: it applicable and you can have an experience with your Bible,
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: that kind of teaching will last after I'm gone. Okay? Now,
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: we're going to look at Ephesians 6.18. Let's go.
• 46:49
  Speaker 3: Praying always with all prayer and supplication.
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: I ministered from this scripture to start our prayer series
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: off with. And I did a message, your praise will
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: never replace your prayer. Okay. And you should get that
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: because we're leaning on praise and don't have a prayer life.
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: And it's killing us as a people today. It's killing us.
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: It's killing us. We've been over-annondated with entertaining ourselves in
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: the presence of God without going into the presence and
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: making our requests made known unto him. Okay. But the
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: Bible says you're praying what?
• 47:22
  Speaker 3: Praying always with all prayer and supplication.
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: Praying always, always deals with how much? How much? Praying always, continually, perpetually,
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: with all prayer. With all prayer deals with what kind?
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: So he says, I want you to pray consistently, and
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: I want you to pray diversively, diversified. I want you
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: to use all prayer. So it would be stupid for
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: him to say all prayer if it's only one kind
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: of prayer. That means that there is diversified prayer. And
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: he said, if you're going to pray always, you can't
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: pray always out of your head or always in the spirit.
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: He said, I want you to use all prayer. And
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: for some of these devils you fight, you got to
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: use all prayer. You got to hit him in the knee,
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: hit him in the lip, spit on him, cough, hiccup, everything.
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: You got to do all prayer. Okay. Okay. Praying always
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: with all prayer. And the reason you need this teaching
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: is because some of you have been using some prayer,
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: but you need to use all prayer. All prayer. Isn't
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: this good? So he says pray always, and then he
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: says pray with all prayer. Come on.
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: In the spirit.
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: In the spirit.
• 48:41
  Speaker 3: And watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm. going and watching thereunto with all perseverance and all
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: supplication for all saints. Don't just pray for you. I'm
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: going to give you a great tip. I almost said,
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: and this would have been terrible, I almost said, but
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: I know you're not going to do it, and that
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: would have been so negative, and I won't say that.
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: So I erase it. I'm sorry. I repent. But I'm
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: going to give you a great tip, and I hope
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: you're going to do it. Pray for those that despitefully
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: use you. I... wait I didn't say pray about them
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: I said pray for them the reason one of the
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: reasons that that is so important number one it relieves
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: you of anger and frustration okay the other thing is
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: when you pray for people you begin to understand them
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you something I'm going to tell
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: you something that I have been trying to get across
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: to people for years it is hard to dislike somebody
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: you understand I'm going to say that again it is
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: hard to dislike somebody you understand people that you don't
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: like you don't understand When you start praying and you
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: start understanding them, they can continue to be weird and
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: it doesn't bother you because you know why they're weird.
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: The reason it bothers you is because you don't understand it.
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: The moment you start praying for them, you start understanding them.
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: When you start understanding them and other people start talking
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: about them, you say, oh, she doesn't really mean it.
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: That's just how she is. Deep down inside, she's not
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: really like that. She's just going through something. Ask her tomorrow.
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: You know why you're not more like that? Because you
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: don't pray for them. You need to accept this. You
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: don't pray for them. And when you do pray, you
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: pray about them. I wish you would do something about her. Now,
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: you know I'm sick of her. Now, Lord, I'm trying
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: to be saved, but the devil is in that woman.
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: You know that ain't nothing but the devil. And you
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: walk up to her. I see you, Satan. I say, oh, no,
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: you after my nerves today, but the devil is alive.
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: You ain't going to wreck my joy. You ain't got
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: no joy. You don't have no joy. You are operating
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: in your flesh. You don't have it, baby. Your joy
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: is gone, sweetheart. You know why you don't have any joy?
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: Because you're praying about them, but you're not praying for them. Lord, Lord,
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: help Robert. He seems so miserable and so unhappy, and
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: he's angry all the time. And give him the kind
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: of joy that you've given me and the kind of
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: peace that's down inside of me. I know what it
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: is to be bitter like that. Lord, would you begin
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: to minister to those areas in his life that he
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: might be whole and that he might be delivered. Lord,
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: help Robert. Help his wife. Help his children. I would
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: hate to see them live up under his scorn and rage.
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: And I know that you created him for a purpose
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: and that he is as much your child as I am.
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: And you love him as much as you love me. Father,
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: would you begin to heal and strengthen him and perfect him?
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: Maybe use me to be a blessing to him. Give
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: me the kinds of words that strengthen him. Help him
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: to know that I'm not his enemy, that I'm his friend.
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: As you begin to pray like that, I'm telling you,
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you, it'll change the whole thing. I'm telling you.
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you. Now, I understand why some of you
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: can't say amen. And that's cool. That's cool. Let me
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: explain to you. And it's good you can't say amen
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: because you recognize while I'm talking that you're convicted. And
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: that's good because sometimes people let the word go over
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: their head and it never hits them. It's very important
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: that you begin to say, oh, I'm guilty. I don't
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: understand her and I don't like her.
• 53:11
  Speaker 2: I don't.
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: Ain't no need in trying to fix it up. I
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: just don't like her way. No, you don't like her.
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: You don't like her now. You know you don't like her.
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: And she knows you don't like her. But I'm telling
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: you why you don't like her. You don't like her
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: because you don't understand her. And you don't understand her
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: because you've never prayed for her. You prayed about her.
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: You prayed with her. But you never prayed for her. Okay,
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: go to Philippians 4, 6, and 7. You enjoying this? Good,
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: I got lots of more as my kids would say.
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: Lots of more. Read. Be careful for nothing. God says
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: don't stress out. Don't sweat. There's no need in you
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: praying about all this stuff if you're going to get
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: up and worry about it. If you're still going to
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: be worried and upset, if you're still going to be
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: bitter and angry, just shut on up. Shut on up.
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: Because there's no need in you turning over God if
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: you're going to carry it. Ain't no need in both
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: of us paying the same bill. Now, if you're going
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: to pay it, let me know. He took me out
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: to dinner. He paid the bill. I didn't pay nothing.
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: I didn't pay nothing. I didn't feel bad. I didn't
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: even pay the tip. I got up and said, thank you.
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: Went to the car, went home. Would I have been stupid?
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: He done paid the bill. No, I got to pay it.
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: I'm going to pay it. I'm going to pay it.
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: And then I go back and pay a bill he's
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: already paid. Now, if you're going to give the check
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: to God, And he said that he's got it. Then
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: why are you going to walk away paying it, stressing out,
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: carrying it? I'm carrying it. Oh, God. Oh, Lord. He said, well,
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: why did you hand it to me? And you discourage
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: God from operating in your life. And he will bypass
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: you and operate in his life. Let me give you
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: a Bible. The Bible said that a whole generation of
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: the Israelites died in the wilderness because the word was
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: not mixed with faith in them that heard it. And
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: he raised up their children and took their children into
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: a land that he had actually prepared for their fathers.
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: But their fathers never developed the faith enough to receive
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: what God has for them. And I'm telling you, God
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: will step over you and find somebody who will believe
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: him if you won't. You know how many people God
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: has sent to Dallas? Let me tell you something. When
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: God has a program, it's not about a man. It's
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: about God's divine purpose. And if you don't get the
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: job done, God will go get somebody else. And if
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: he don't get the job done, God will go get
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: somebody else. And he'll keep going until he finds somebody.
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: When Moses started acting a fool and smiting the rock
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: and cussing people, God snatched him out of the way,
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: told the angels to bury his behind, and turned and
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: started talking to Joshua and said, now Joshua, take them
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: jokers on over to the other side. Baby, God ain't
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: going to be hard up. You ain't so talented that
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: God can't get somebody else. God will raise up somebody
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: that's drunk right now. I know you think you're bad,
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: but you better tell somebody else. God ain't hard up
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: for people. God making people right now. God making people
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: right now. God will make somebody look just like you.
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: They won't even know you gone. Have you ever heard people,
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: you look just like. God said don't worry about nothing
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: but in everything. By prayer and supplication. This is all prayer.
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: This is all types of prayer. By prayer and then
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: with supplication, which is to entreat God. All right? To
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: entreat him, to beseech him, to beg him, to call
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: upon him, to petition him. Okay? He said, I want
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: you to use prayer. I want you to use petition.
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: And then he says, I want you to use thanksgiving.
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: Another dimension of praise. He said, I want you to
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: start thanking me for stuff that hadn't even happened yet.
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: If he said, believe you have received it. Now I'm
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: from the old school. My mother taught me when somebody
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: gives you something, you say, thank you. So if he said,
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: you believe you have received it, when you believe you
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: have received it, you say. And the reason some of
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: you all don't get it is because you never complete
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: the transaction with the praise. A praise is an indication.
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: I got it. If I hand her something and she
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: says thank you, I release it because that means she
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: got it. But if I'm reaching out to her and
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: she never says thank you, I'm not sure whether she's
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: got it or not. And some of you never totally receive,
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: though you hear great ministry, you never totally receive it
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: because you don't receive the word with gladness. Your face
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: looks like a mummy. You're dead as a corpse. You're
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: sitting up as stiff as last year's gumbo. And you
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: never get everything that God has for you because you
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: don't complete the transaction with the bread. Every time I
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: minister something and it gets down in your spirit and
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: you've got it, you ought to say it. You better
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: tell somebody. All right, sit down. I'm going to give
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: you some.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 2: More.
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: Okay. Isn't it wonderful? Oh, isn't it wonderful? Isn't it
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: just wonderful? Oh, bless this man. Yes, yes, yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: You may be seated. I'm going forward. Okay, now. The
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: Bible says pray without ceasing. In a few minutes, if
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: I have the time left, We're going to talk about that.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: It says that men ought to lift up holy hands
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: without wrath and without doubting in prayer. It means that
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: you can't pray in anger. Men, men, men, men, hear me, guys,
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: because we tend to be uniquely vulnerable to wrath. And
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: so it speaks specifically to men when it begins to
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: talk about lifting up holy hands and seeking God without wrath.
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: And without doubting. You cannot pray effectively with an angry spirit.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: And if you are not careful. The enemy will put
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: so much bitterness in you. That you can become angry
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: in your spirit. And when you get ready to pray.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: You're really saying words. But you're not having intimacy. Intimacy. Intimacy.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: See into me. See into me. Because down on the inside,
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: you are filled with anger. That's why the Bible said,
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: anger resteth in the bosom of fools. God said, if
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: you allow anger to rest in you, God said you
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: are a fool. Anger resteth in the bosom of fools. Listen,
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: nobody is worth it. I don't care what they did.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: I don't care what they said. I don't care what
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: they took from you. I don't care how humiliating it was.
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: It is not worth it. Because if you walk in anger,
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: they're still robbing from you. They're robbing moments. They're robbing life.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: They're robbing strength. They're robbing opportunities from you. They're robbing
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: you of your prayer life. They're robbing you of your joy.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: They're robbing you of your anointing. Nobody is worth it.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: You're giving them power when you allow them. to enrage
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: your spirit where you walk around in a rage the
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: best thing you can do to get control back of
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: your life is to pull your feelings out of it
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: go in there and get your feelings and yank them
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: out of it so that you can pray without laugh
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: and without doubting oh we're getting some things done tonight
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: aren't we we're getting some things done tonight See, God,
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: because God is a Roboshai. Because God is a spirit.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: When God gets ready to have communication with you, he
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: does it spirit to spirit. And if you have anger
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: in your spirit, no matter what your lips are saying,
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: God is not going to be blessed. He told Israel,
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: he said, with your mouth, you draw nigh unto me,
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: but your heart is far from me. God says, your
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: words don't turn me on. It's your spirit. So if
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: you have an angry spirit, God says, I will not
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: hear you. And you don't have to be a violent
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: person to have an angry spirit. You can be a calm,
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: sedate person, but down up underneath, you are a boiling,
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: seething pot of frustration and trouble. And you can be
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: smiling and be polite on the outside, but on the inside,
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 1: you are enraged. You are enraged, and God cannot communicate
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: with you on the level that he longs to, which
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: is spirit to spirit love. Though your lips are saying
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: the right thing and you're praying with all of your
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: might with your mouth, your heart is in disagreement with
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: your mouth. And anytime your heart and your mouth do
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: not agree, a house divided against itself shall not stand.
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: You have to get the wrath out of you. You've
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: got to get it out. You got to get it out.
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: If you got to cry, if you got to scream,
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: if you got to go out in the woods and holler,
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: if you got to apologize and it wasn't even your fault,
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: you got to get it out of you because it's
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: stealing from you. You'll never have a real life with God.
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: You'll come to church and you'll only stay in this
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: church if we give you a position. Because you'll never
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: have a relationship and people who don't have relationship have
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: to have positions And if you are not massaged and
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: placated and manicured, you drift away. You know why? You
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: don't have a relationship with God. And the reason you
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: don't have a relationship with God is not because you
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: don't talk to him with your mouth. You don't talk
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: to God with your heart, baby. Some of you are
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: still angry about things that have been over for years.
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: Some of you are angry at people who are dead.
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: You're angry at the person that's dead and you're still
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: angry with them. They've gone on with their life. Some
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: of them have gone on with their career. Some of
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: them have moved. Some of them have married. Some of
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: them are in Brazil somewhere. And every time you think
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: about them, you're in rage. You're still victimizing other people
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: over you being victimized. You haven't opened up your heart
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: for 20 years because 20 years ago, you believed in
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: somebody and they hurt you. 20 years ago, you trusted
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: somebody and they abused you. 20 years ago, you showed
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: them who you were and they spat on you. And
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: now for the last 20 years, they've been controlling your
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: life from the grave. Tell you it is not worth it.
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: It is not worth it. Snatch your life back from them.
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: Snatch it back, snatch it back, snatch your life back.
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: glory if you're going to pray we got to pray
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: down into this stuff we can't just pray and get
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: the moraine off the top we got to cut all
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: the way down into the pie and get the goody
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: out let's get down into the filling glory I feel
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: God's anointing in this place my God hallelujah I'm telling you,
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you, you're never going to have a relationship
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: with anybody, not with your kids, not with your husband,
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: not with your wife, and not with your God. The
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: reason you can't have a relationship is because you are
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: already having an affair with your anger. There's no room
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: in your heart for anybody. You're still trying to prove
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: things to people who ain't even looking. You still got
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: to show them and they're not even there. Every time
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: you get a blessing, you say, now see? But the
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 1: problem is they don't see and they don't care. You
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: are having an affair with dead folks. It's over, baby.
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 1: I'm going to preach it in and you got to
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 1: pray it out. Oh, yes. Hallelujah. I'm going to put
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: that old castor oil down in here and you go
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 1: somewhere and work it out. Work it out, baby. Work
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 1: it out. Work it out. Work it out. You see,
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: when you really start praying, if you're going to pray always,
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: with all prayer, it can't just be your lips. Because
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: your lips are going to get tired. Your lips are
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 1: going to get tired. You're going to run out of
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 1: stuff to say. You got to go back to words.
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 1: You got to cook dinner. So this is more than
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: something you do with your mouth. That's where I'm going.
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about a praying spirit. I'm talking about walking
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 1: around in an atmosphere of prayer. I'm talking about a
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: hum in your chest. Do you hear what I'm saying?
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about consecrating yourself. Consecrate me now to thy service, Lord.
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 1: Consecrate me. This is bigger than words. This is where
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: I dwell and where I work and where I walk.
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 1: Praise him. Lord, give me a praying spirit. I can
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: walk in it and talk in it and type in
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: it and drive in it and sleep in it. Lord,
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 1: give me a praying spirit. If I'm going to have
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 1: to pray always, I can't just have a praying mouth.
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 1: I got to have a praying spirit. Oh, Sunday. Oh, God,
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: search me and know my heart. Purge me, Lord. Get
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: everything out of my heart so that I can have
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 1: a praying spirit. I need, oh, God, I need a
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: praying spirit. I need a praying spirit where I'm never
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: too far from you, where I'm always close enough that
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 1: I can get to you if I need you. I
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: need to be conscious enough to function, but spiritual enough
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 1: that I have access to you in the middle of
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 1: the night. I need a praying spirit. I need to
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 1: live closer to you my house is too far from
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 1: your house my thoughts are too far from your thoughts
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: my ways are too far from your ways I need
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 1: to walk in you and talk in you and live
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 1: in you and think in you I need a praying
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: spirit I need a praying spirit in my car I
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: need an atmosphere in my car of consecration. I need
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 1: a consecration in my house. My house is too sinful.
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: Too many wild things are said and done in my house. Lord,
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 1: I need a praying spirit. I can't go on a
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 1: fast every time I need you to move. I can't
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: wait a week to get a break too. I got
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 1: to walk in you and talk in you and live
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 1: in you. Lord, give me Oh God, oh God, oh God,

  Speaker 1: oh God, oh God. It's gotta be more to it
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 1: than a shout. It's gotta be more to it than
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 1: a dance. It's gotta be more than what I say
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 1: with my mouth. My heart needs to have a hum
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: in it. My heart needs to have a ringing in it.
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 1: I need to hear a vibration in my soul. I
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 1: need to feel your presence. Give me a praying spirit.
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 1: Not a hateful spirit. Not an angry spirit. Not a
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: quick tempered spirit. Lord give me a praying spirit. I'm
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 1: too carnal. I'm too carnal. I'm too worldly. I'm too angry.
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: I can't be a worldly person with a thin church veneer.
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 1: I can't be a worldly person with a thin church veneer.
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 1: I can't just put you on and take you off
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 1: like a coat that I use for certain occasions. Amen.
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: And expect to have the promises of God in my life.
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: It's not going to happen baby. God is not into
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: having an affair. He wants a wife. He wants intimacy. Intimacy.

• 1:17:22

• 1:17:27
  Speaker 1: a stranger. And in five minutes I run out of
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 1: things to say. And yet I'm supposed to be your son.
• 1:17:37

• 1:18:37
  Speaker 1: Give me a praying spirit. Even when I run out
