• 0:10
  Speaker 1: DJ sam Rock so Winners with a z dot org

  Speaker 1: live that so Winners with a z dot org and
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: streaming on our YouTube page which is simply named dj
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: sam Rock. I try to make everything simple so that
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: way you could reach out. You could contact us, connect
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: with us a man, subscribe to the podcast or to
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: the YouTube channel a man, or follow us from directly
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: from the website Celebrated network So Winners with a z RG. So,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: let's go for it, man. Today we're going to get
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: into some more prayer. Hey, man, prayer is on deck.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. We're in a new season.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Prayer is literally first thing on the list in my
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: life at least and my Christian walk from this moment
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: of my life. But sometimes you have to pray drastic prayers,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: prayers that seemingly people won't dare to pray because one,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: they don't know the power of God. Too, they might
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: not even know who God is. Three, they might not
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: feel confident or worthy that God would hear the prayers. Amen.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: So many different ways that people think about prayer and
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: depending on where you are in life. Amen. It depends
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: where you are in your life and your spiritual walk
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: with the Lord. Amen. That drastic prayers won't seem to
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: make sense to you makes sense to me, Amen. And
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: if people know me, the people who do know me,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: that came with certain prayer requests and the way it
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: was prayed for, they were even kind of like throwing
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: off a little bit. I was even thrown off a
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: little bit. Because when you're specific with God and you're
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: in despin need of help from the Lord. Amen, drastic
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: prayer is going to happen. And you see prayers like
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: that all over the scriptures. It's not something I'm making
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: up or trying to be fancy with terms, but drastic
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: prayers are literally all over the scriptures if you look
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: at it. That is urgent, bold and desperate. The kind
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: of prayer that you pray when you're at that end
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: of your own strength and need God to move in
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: a mighty way. Have you ever been there the end
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: of your own strength and like I can't do anything, God,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: you have to do something in a mighty way. So
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: in scripture, people often pray drastically when facing impossible situations
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: to us, and God answered powerfully. So drastic measures cause
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: drastic prayers. Amen. Drastic issues or situations in life. I
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: suggest you have a drastic prayer life Amen for that
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Psalms chapter forty six and verse number one. If you
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: have any questions, comments, concerns, prayer requests, or anything along
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: those lines, please don't hesitate to leave it on a
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: live chat. That's what we're here for. We're here to connect.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: We're here to do more than socialize and do more
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: and douce things on social media. We're here to really
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: enter into the Word of God. Devote some time to
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: the word. A man with the Word of God, which
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: is a living word, which is the Lord Jesus is
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: shiihamashiak Amn. We are here on purpose for all purpose.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: God has a plan Amen, And when things happen in
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: life that seems to be listened, I can't do it
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: no more. And you're telling yourself there's nothing else I
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: could do but pray, pray, because that's exactly what you
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: should and I should be doing praying. People always put
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: that as a last option, like we're trying to figure
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: things out, we're trying to get in front of the Lord.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: We're trying to do things without God, and last time
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: I check, at least in my life, nothing good comes
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: out of that when I try to go before God
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: and do things on my own strength. Well, how about
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: when things happen in your life? Do you have a
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: drastic prayer life? Do you have drastic prayers on deck?
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Ready to go a man praying for things that normally
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: no one would dare pray for. Be that person of prayer,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Be that person to go to God with these impossible situations.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: For God, nothing is impossible. For us. Things are impossible, right,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: So when you come and humble yourself, come down to
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: your own you know, understanding and reasoning. Amen, You're going
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: to realize, and I'm going to realize that we need
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: God to move. Prayer that is urgent, bold and desperate.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: The kind of prayer you pray when you are at
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: the end of your own strength and need God to
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: move in a mighty way. I love that, Amen, because
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: that's often my life a man. What about you, sisters, Joyce,

  Speaker 1: I pray, Lord God for the specific things that need
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: to be prayed for that people have on their hearts

• 6:21
  Speaker 1: who love you and follow your commandments. Thank you, Lord God,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: for that angel that's assigned to every single one of us,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: including myself, my wife, our children, our grandchildren, our family
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: members from the very youngest family member to the very
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: oldest family member, and every single person in between, that
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: you would guard God and protect them and that you
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: would do the same for every single person on the
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: other side of this screen and on the other side
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: of this MC. Thank you, Lord God for that power,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: that authority. Thank you, Lord God for that comfort. Thank you,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Lord God for that realness that you have placed in
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: our hearts. Knowing that you can do all things for
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: you are possible, that you can do all things according
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: to your scripture, to your word, and to your will.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: I prayed it's by faith, knowing that you hear these
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: prayers and you answer them according to your purpose and
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: plan for every single one of us in Jesus Holy name.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: I pray it is by faith, and all those who
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: agree we say amen to the Amen. Sister Joyce said,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: prayer is the key to heaven. Faith unlocks the door
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: for answers. Yes, thank you, Praise God. I agree. Amen,

  Speaker 1: times we're facing are uncertain, but we're certain that God

  Speaker 1: is with us and he's in us and working through us. Amen.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Sixty seconds. Help me share this album. When we come back,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: we'll get right into our morning Devo, drastic prayers. I'll
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: be right back. Amen, We're back. Let's go for it.

  Speaker 1: could do whatever God says we could do. Amen. And
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: when we pray and the situations are dire right and

• 10:32
  Speaker 1: And these are groups that have hundreds of thousands of members,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: some of them have millions of members. Thank you so
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: much for allowing this to go through. Let's go for it.

• 10:58
  Speaker 1: let's go for it. Is it here? Yes, drastic prayers,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: God's power, warfare and worship. Amen, We're going to war.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: We are in a war. And guess what we won.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: We win because our king won. Amen. So we're benefiting
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: off the finished work of the Lord Christ Psalms forty
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: six and one. God is our refuge and strength, mighty
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: and impenetrable, are very present and well proved, help and trouble.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: First things first, ladies and gentlemen, when you have drastic prayers, Amen,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: you're actually making a great declaration to yourself and to
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: others who know you're surrounded you are surrounded by We
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: are making sure that we're acknowledging God's power right, acknowledge
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: God's power first and foremost when we're praying, right, we're
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: acknowledging God's power. Start by declaring who God is. God
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: is Lord Almighty, He is mighty, He is our refuge,
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: and he is our strength. He is a very present
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: and well proved help and trouble that will cause you
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: to realize and believe and hope and trust and who
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: we're praying to. So We're gonna recognize and acknowledge God's
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: power first and foremost, declaring who God is. Amen in
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: our hearts and our minds and our lives first and foremost. Amen.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: And here's the bonus. Jeremiah thirty two and seventeen. The
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: Word of God says through the prophet Jeremiah, ah Lord God,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: and it's emphasized, so it's ah Lord God. Behold, you
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: have made the heavens and the earth by your great
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: power and by your outstretched arm. There is nothing too
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: difficult or too wonderful for you. See that the prophet
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: the Psalmists are acknowledging the power of God. They're declaring
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: who God is, not only in their lives, not only
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: in our lives, but who God is period. He's almighty right,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: he made the heavens and the earths. He's creator God.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: He has great power, and he loves. He outstretched his
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: arms to help us. And with God, there is nothing
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: too difficult. There's nothing too wonderful or impossible for the
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: Lord God Almighty. So when we declare these things a man,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: we know we have God's power available. We're nowhere in
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: warfare and worship. We have what we need when we
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: need help. We have these drastic prayers and a drastic
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: prayer life that we could go to a man and
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: realize who we're praying to. Amen. God is almight, He's sovereign.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: He's a God of love, grace, mercy, just God, Holy God. Amen.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: He is all of that, and he knows it. We're
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: acknowledging it, Amen, and God will do We'll take it
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: from there. Amen. When things seem to be impossible and
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: we freeze up or we feel like we're held up
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: in a situation that no one can help us out,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: well you're forgetting that we are a part of God's plan.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: We are who God says we are Amen. We are
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: worthy because God says we're worthy. We are holy because
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: God says be holy. We are justified because God justified us. Amen.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: We have faith in faith, not in faith of other
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: things outside of Christ, as we have faith in the
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Lord Jesus. Amen. Also we are connected, right. We have
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: perfect communication with God the Father and God the Son
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: by way of His Holy Spirit. So we are covered.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: Acknowledge God's power. Start declaring who God is in your life. Amen.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: It will do you wellch do me well. Amen, So
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: that way our faith will increase, knowing who is hearing
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: our prayers, knowing who is coming to help us. Amen.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: And our weapons are not carnal weapons like They're not
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: guns and knives and bombs. Our weapons of warfare, right,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: are based on the Word of God. So we have
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: when we worship, we're doing warfare in worship. When we're praying,
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: we are separating ourselves from our situation and taking our
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: situation to the one who can save us, the one
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: who could protect us, the one who could guide us,
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: the one who could free us up from addictions and
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: all that other stuff. So put it like this. I
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: don't know why a picture of myself came up on
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: my thing here. Put it like this. If you're going
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: through some kind of addictive behavior, right patterns need therapy.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: You go to therapists and you're doing the right things.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: They might even give you some type of medication for trauma,
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: for whatever you're going through, and it seemingly doesn't work.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Have you considered Jesus, have you considered praying drastic prayers
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: unto the Lord God? Listen, we can't go around saying
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: we believe in God and not believe in his power.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: We can't go around saying we believe in Christ and
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: not being obeying his commandments. Devil does that. You know,
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: Satan believes in Christ, but he doesn't follow God's commandments. Right,
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: So we don't want to be like Satan. We don't
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: want to be like the devil. We want to be
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: who God says we are righteous, holy, We're a royal priesthood. Amen,
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: We're a child of God and we can go to
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: our Father in all situations for help. Drastic prayers. There's
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: drastic things going on in our lives sometimes and we
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: have to have a drastic prayer life. People probably don't
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: like that word drastic prayer life. Amen. But I see
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: it all through the scriptures, and it was brought to
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: my attention my Holy Spirit that we need to acknowledge
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: God's power when we're drastic. Things happen in our lives
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: and we're running out of time, running out of strength,
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: and we don't have any other person to help us,
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: but we have the Almighty God, Amen on our side.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: Good morning, brother Manuel, you're absolutely right. Thank you so
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: much for your comment and your agreement. Manuel says, he
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: is a defender before us and behind us. The problem
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: is spiritual. Amen. Brother Frank, thank you so much for

• 17:50
  Speaker 1: Manuel said, that's right. The prayers are the righteous aveteth much.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: And when we pray, listen, it doesn't go to the
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: ceiling and hit the ceiling and come down. The words
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: that we pray, according to God's purpose and his will, Amen,
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: are words that will penetrate and will release through this atmosphere, Amen,
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: and go to the ears of our heavily Father a man, amazing,
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: amazing time that we have in prayer. I know prayer works,
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: and so do I. Amen. I really think I was
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: prayed into the Kingdom of God. I just feel it
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: in my soul and my spirit that I was prayed
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: into the Kingdom of God. So thank you for whatever
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: it was praying through the times that I was out
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: there that seemed to be hopeless, that it looked like
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: I wasn't going to turn my life around or turn
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: to the lower at all. Thank you for praying. Amen.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: I don't know exactly who you were, but I know
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: people were praying confession and surrender. So when we're in
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: a drastic situation and we have to pray a drastic prayer,
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: people who know me, Amen, Again, they've known they know me.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: For praying drastically, Amen, might be very un professional. I
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: don't know. That's the term that I wanted to use.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Unorthodox for sure, Amen. And sometimes I even like, after
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: I praise sometimes for people in situations I even think
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: about it that was I was out of line. Because
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: certain situations in our lives call for certain types of
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: prayer and man, no kumbay our prayers, no, you know,
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: just normal prayer life Amen, those prayer life, prayer life
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: period works. But you know what I mean, there's certain
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: situations in my life and in your life that we
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: have to be specific with the Lord, Amen, and ask
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: God for the things that normally we want to ask
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: for prayer for. But when I'm asked for prayer for
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: certain things and people let me into their hearts and
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: let me into their lives, and man, we're gonna pray
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: some drastic prayers and we just see the hand of
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: God move in those situations because no one else can
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: do it but God. In certain situations in our lives, right,
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: we must be specific with God. Yeah, I believe that
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: one hundred percent. I learned that kind of like the
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: hard way, and earlier in my life as a as
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: a born again believer, a man praying for situations for
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: people to wake up out of out of situations. Amen,
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: they were hurt, and we would pray for just the
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: first part healed. God, Well, we didn't pray for the
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: wholeness and all that stuff. And I don't really know,
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: I can't prove that that really matters to God. But
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: for us to learn that we could be more specific.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: I think that was the situation that God was showing
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: me and showing us and the prayer team that I
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: was in years ago, that when we pray, need to
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: be specific and ask God for more than what we
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: would normally ask God for, because some people are in
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: life and death situations, and ultimately we are all in
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: life or death situations daily. But when someone is struck
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: by a vehicle, if someone is hurt or shot or
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: stabbed or anything. We went into these hospital rooms. Me
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: and my wife had been to the hospital rooms with
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: prayer teams, maybe just me and her praying for families.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: Those prayers were drastic. We're asking God for miracles, and
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: God still performs miracles. Now on the miracle end, I
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: know people ask, how come a miracle will happen for
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: this family and not for my family? Why do will
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: God save somebody and not save another? Those are really
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: good questions. I don't have the answer for all those situations,
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: but I do know God is still a god of miracles.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: He still gives us signs and wonders, Amen, why because
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: he's almighty right he can do exactly what he says.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: His word can do a man according to his word
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: and purpose. And what do we learn? We learn that
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: God is our refuge and strength, mighty and impenetrable of
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: every present and well proved help and trouble. We also
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: learn that God is the creative heaven and earth, the
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: heavens and the earth, and he has great power. He
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: has love for us outstretched arms. Remember Jesus outstretched both
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: his arms on the cross. There's nothing too difficult for God.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: So once we know that, Amen, we start praying in
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: situations that seem impossible, and we start realizing that, Wow, God,
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: you are amazing, Amen, And you are the right, holy, righteous,
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: loving God that we're praying to. Amen, that can move
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: mountains and situations change when we get into his word,
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: and when his word gets into us, and when we
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: speak his word in our prayer. Those are drastic prayers,
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: drastic measures, and we win the day. God wins the day,
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: no matter how the outcome comes. I'm starting to realize, Amen,
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: And I realized this that God gets the final say.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: The Lord gets the final say, our Father gets the
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: final say, Jesus gets the final say, and Holy Spirit
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: acknowledges that final say. Right man, Well, says, we go
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: before God without withholding nothing. Yeah, listen, he knows what
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: we're gonna ask him before we even ask. So let's
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: go ahead and acts seek not Amen, Let's continue to
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: pray and ask God for things that we were never
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: in a thousand years asking for. Go ahead and asks. Amen.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: And I'm not talking about selfish ambition, you know, God,
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: I want this, I need this, and that's part of it. Yeah,
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about when you pray for others. Amen, they
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: are in need of help. I'm in need of help.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: You're in need of help. So let's get ahead. Don't
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: be as shy. Drastic prayers are all through the scriptures.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Look at the prophets. They were praying for some things.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: Look at the Psalmas, they were asking God to do
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: some things. King David said, while he was getting chased,
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: he was asking God to do something crazy to his enemies.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: You got to read the psalms. But listen, they knew
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: that only God could save them, Only God could be
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: their refuge, only God could be the strength. Only God
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: could protect them in a certain situations in life. I've
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: been in certain situations in life. I know before I
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: was saved, I know it had to be God that
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: rescued me and got me out of situations that were
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: impossible to get out. And here I am tested about
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: that because God is in control. Right. God is a
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: sovereign God. He's a loving God, a holy God, of
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: righteous God and just God. God's ways are not like
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: our ways. You're right man, well, of course, and I'm
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: glad a man because if God was like us, like mankind,
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: it would be so circumstantial. Right, it would depend on
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: if God is having a bad day, well, a good day.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: It would depend if we're faithful or not. It would
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: depend if we're messing up, then God would turn his back.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: And God doesn't work that way. He's sovereign, he's supreme
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: other a man, he's uber other, He's an eternal being. Right,
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: he's Creator, he's Lord, he's sovereign, He's in control, and
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: he doesn't base he doesn't base his works in our
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: lives based on feelings, like imagine we had to feel
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: like praying, or we had to feel like believing, well,
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: we had to feel like going to the community of
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: God that we had to feel like we're holy is
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: Our faith is not based on feelings. Our faith is
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: based on Jesus what he has done already, what continues
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: to do a man to finish work that applied work
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: of the Lord. Amen. And that's why we don't we
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: could go to God with anything. Amen. He can handle
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: our prayers and sometimes my prayer, my personal prayers are
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: drastic a man most of the time. And when people
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: come to me with situations, you know, maybe in the
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: adult Bible Study, if you join, we could talk about
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: some situations that called for drastic prayers. Amen. This is
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: a general setting. There's a morning devote, but in adopte
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: Bible study, I could probably share that some stories, real
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: life stories, and maybe we could get the people a man,
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: if they're willing. They got to be courageous enough to
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: testify how we prayed for certain things and deliverance was
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: that hand help was there? Amen. And right now we
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: have drastic prayers going off for some loved ones that
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: I know, Amen, for families that are asking God for
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: drastic things right now. Amen. I could think of two
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: families right now that are always in my heart because
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: God is the only one that can move the situation
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: in the right direction. Isn't that incredible that God? He
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: he reminds us of who he is, and the world
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: is reminded that they can't do nothing past what God
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: allows the world to do. Amen. So God is in control.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: That's what that means. So let's let's go for one
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: example before I run out of time. Here one example
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: of a drastic prayer. And this is a prayer. I
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: lost it, right, We might have to get back to that.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: You know what I lost it? I lost my notes?
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: What did I do here? Yep? There it goes? One
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: example from down here, drastic prayer for different needs. How
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: about this one for healing in your body. I only
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: got thirty seconds. You do like this, Lord Jesus, by
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: your stripes, I am healed, testifying. We're declaring the word
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: in Isaiah fifty three and five. Every sickness, every pain,
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: disease must bow down to the name of Jesus. So
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: you hear people saying this too, I command life and
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: wholeness into the body right now by way of Jesus
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: Mighty name. When you hear people praying like that, those
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: are drastic prayers. Those are bold prayers. Those are curatest
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: prayers because they know who God is. Amen. And once
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: you get to know who God is, for yourself. You'll
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: start making prayers like that as well. But that's just
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: a quick example for healing of your body, mind, spirit. Amen,
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: and we'll get a hit up some more examples love
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: willing during the week. So thank you so much for
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: coming through a man man Will said, God is intrinsic,
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: totally self sufficient. Yes he is. So thank you so
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: much for sharing that, Brother Manuel. If everybody who came through,
• 28:09

• 28:11
  Speaker 1: or for the podcast. Bless you all, keep you all,
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: and remember always that God is good. Peace,
