Speaker 1: Good morning, family, Good morning God, bless you. Welcome back
0:05
Speaker 1: to the Morning Devo as you bro Sam Lopez aka
0:08
Speaker 1: DJ Sam rock So Winners with a Z dot Org
0:11
Speaker 1: the celebrated network, the Lehigh Valley's number one urban gospel
0:15
Speaker 1: music station, Allline since two thousand and eight, and we're
0:18
Speaker 1: back in the building with another Morning Devo. Praise God, right,
0:21
Speaker 1: Glory to God. It's all because of His grace, is mercy,
0:24
Speaker 1: his faithfulness to his word, Amen, that we could do
0:27
Speaker 1: these things together. So listen, we're talking about prayer life
0:31
Speaker 1: right right now, corporately around the world, around our nation.
0:36
Speaker 1: There are believers, brothers and sisters all around the world
0:38
Speaker 1: fasting and praying, praying and fasting Amen for around twenty
0:42
Speaker 1: one days. Some are going longer than that, some have
0:45
Speaker 1: started earlier than others. But we are corporately in prayer.
0:49
Speaker 1: And I think that's why you see a lot of
0:52
Speaker 1: havoc being reaped around the world, because the enemy hates
0:56
Speaker 1: when the Body of Christ is unified on anything, so
1:00
Speaker 1: he tries to distract, he tries to destroy, he tries
1:02
Speaker 1: to kill, he tries to steal people's joy and all
1:06
Speaker 1: that around this time of fashion. But guess who always
1:08
Speaker 1: wins at the end of the day. Right, we win
1:12
Speaker 1: because we are the Kingdom of God. So there's a
1:16
Speaker 1: right way to pray, and there's the wrong way to pray.
1:19
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna talk about the wrong prayer life, the
1:22
Speaker 1: wrong prayer life. Amen. And you might be saying, oh,
1:26
Speaker 1: that's not encouraging. For more than devo, You're gonna be
1:28
Speaker 1: encouraged because now you're gonna know what's right, and now
1:31
Speaker 1: you're gonna know what's wrong if you hadn't known already,
1:33
Speaker 1: and you probably didn't even know there was such a
1:35
Speaker 1: thing as a wrong prayer life, a wrong way to pray. Right.
1:40
Speaker 1: Prayer is literally basically simply a conversation with God. Right,
1:46
Speaker 1: So when we speak to the Lord, Amen, we're praying,
1:50
Speaker 1: it's a conversation with God in the simplest definition, in
1:53
Speaker 1: the simplest form. Amen. So we're not creating something new,
1:58
Speaker 1: we're not trying to you know, we invent the wheel
2:03
Speaker 1: when it comes to prayer. Amen, is simply a conversation
2:06
Speaker 1: with God, and He values when we're honest and when
2:11
Speaker 1: we're being authentic. Amen. When we're being honest and authentic,
2:16
Speaker 1: God values that. Now that's the best way I think
2:20
Speaker 1: I could pray, And I think that's the best way
2:22
Speaker 1: I think you could pray when you're honest, when you're vulnerable,
2:25
Speaker 1: when you're having a simple conversation with the Lord. Amen.
2:28
Speaker 1: It could be something really really pressing in your heart,
2:33
Speaker 1: or something really really like, like, Lord Jesus, what tea
2:37
Speaker 1: should I make? This? Pointing? Amen? You might be like, well,
2:40
Speaker 1: God's got to pay attention to you like that. Why
2:42
Speaker 1: he's our father who loves us and he wants to
2:45
Speaker 1: hear from us and conversation. Or it could be as
2:48
Speaker 1: difficult as that, you know, my brother in law has cancer.
2:51
Speaker 1: Can you rescue him? Can you save him them? Can
2:54
Speaker 1: you heal him? It could be that important, or something
2:58
Speaker 1: as simple as tea conversation with the Lord. Because for God,
3:02
Speaker 1: everything's possible. For God, everything is possible. You ask him
3:06
Speaker 1: something that's impossible to us, he's able, he's available. He
3:11
Speaker 1: can do the impossible. He has done it. He's proved it.
3:15
Speaker 1: He's done it time and time again in my life
3:17
Speaker 1: and in your life. If you're watchful and you know
3:20
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about now, the worst prayers are when
3:25
Speaker 1: you are being dishonest, when you're flat out lying to God.
3:29
Speaker 1: He already knows your heart, he knows your intention and
3:34
Speaker 1: and or manipulative. You're trying to manipulate God's word. You're
3:39
Speaker 1: trying to change his mind on something that's not gonna happen.
3:43
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen. You're trying to command God that's not
3:47
Speaker 1: gonna happen. Ladies and gentlemen. He allows what he allows
3:51
Speaker 1: to according to his word. He will allow you the
3:54
Speaker 1: commandments of God. Are Are there a man to prove
3:59
Speaker 1: for us? Prove that we love him? Not the other
4:01
Speaker 1: way around. Amen. So don't be dishonest with God. Heread,
4:06
Speaker 1: he knows your heart, he knows your momus if he
4:08
Speaker 1: knows your intentions. Now, I've been guilty of dishonest prayers.
4:11
Speaker 1: I know a lot of evangelists want to admit that
4:14
Speaker 1: I've been guilty of that. You know, been in prayer
4:17
Speaker 1: circles angry at something or someone and brought up prayers
4:21
Speaker 1: out of anger. And that's not cool. It was not effective,
4:24
Speaker 1: it's not pleasing to the Lord. Amen. And I had
4:26
Speaker 1: to repent for those things, right, for those type of prayers.
4:29
Speaker 1: Those are the worst prayers. So we're talking about wrong
4:33
Speaker 1: prayer life to Day in the Morning Devo. We're gonna
4:35
Speaker 1: be in James, chapter number four, verse number three James
4:38
Speaker 1: four and three to Day in the Morning Devo. If
4:41
Speaker 1: you have any questions, comments, concerns, or any prayer requests,
4:44
Speaker 1: please don't hesitate to leave it on a live chat
4:46
Speaker 1: from whatever platform you're watching or listening from. Amen. That
4:50
Speaker 1: should be a way to connect with me and connect
4:52
Speaker 1: with us on the Morning DeVos. Amen. Also, if you're
4:57
Speaker 1: at live that so win is with a Z. That
4:59
Speaker 1: org welcome back and see the numbers is encouraging. People
5:02
Speaker 1: are hanging out over there, real quiet over there. Don't

Speaker 1: be afraid to leave a comment in the chat room
5:07
Speaker 1: over there as well. And there's an interactive Bible right
5:11
Speaker 1: there on that website that you could use and follow along.
5:14
Speaker 1: I'll be reading out of the amplified version, and men,
5:17
Speaker 1: most of the time I read out of the amplified version.
5:20
Speaker 1: So when we go to the chapter and verse, Amen,
5:23
Speaker 1: go and head over onto the amplified version if you
5:26
Speaker 1: want to read a word for word the way we're
5:28
Speaker 1: reading it here on the Morning Devo. And we're gonna
5:30
Speaker 1: pray first. After we pray, we'll share us out for
5:32
Speaker 1: like sixty seconds, and then when we come back on
5:34
Speaker 1: the other side of those sixty seconds, we'll get right
5:36
Speaker 1: into today's morning Devo. Wrong Prayer life Today on the

Speaker 1: be honest, even though it might be scary, little guys
5:53
Speaker 1: sometimes for myself to come to you clean. I already
5:56
Speaker 1: know that it doesn't pay to be dishonest with you,
6:00
Speaker 1: doesn't pay to try to manipulate. What does pay is
6:04
Speaker 1: an honest, simple conversation with you. Father. Thank you, Lord
6:08
Speaker 1: God for listening to all our prayers and hearing us
6:11
Speaker 1: regardless if we're doing it right or wrong. That you

6:22
Speaker 1: and above all that you still love us and you
6:25
Speaker 1: draw us closer to you by way of your Holy Spirit.
6:27
Speaker 1: I pray, Lo God, that you are able to teach
6:30
Speaker 1: us and move us into a position of our right
6:34
Speaker 1: prayer life. As we speak about the wrong prayer life.
6:37
Speaker 1: Thank you, Lord God for inspiring me to continue to
6:40
Speaker 1: move forward, continue to get up in these mornings and
6:43
Speaker 1: really apply this word for everyone who's willing to listen.
6:49
Speaker 1: Everyone whosoever who calls upon your name. You said, Lord God,
6:52
Speaker 1: in your word, that they will be saved. I pray
6:54
Speaker 1: salvation over my family, my whole family, from the very
6:58
Speaker 1: youngest family members to the very oldest and everyone in between,
7:01
Speaker 1: those who are not born again. Father God, I pray
7:03
Speaker 1: as you will move their hearts right now, and I
7:05
Speaker 1: pray the same prayer over every single person that's connecting
7:08
Speaker 1: now who will connect later. Mamen, who will listen now
7:11
Speaker 1: or watch later, or how the case may be, that
7:14
Speaker 1: you would do the same for them and their family
7:16
Speaker 1: as well as we guide, guard and protect Lord God
7:20
Speaker 1: our word that's in our hearts, and we work out
7:22
Speaker 1: our own salvation with fear and trembling. Thank you for
7:25
Speaker 1: your protection. Thank you for protecting us through the night,
7:28
Speaker 1: through the day, and thank you for Lord God for
7:30
Speaker 1: signing the Angel of the Lord to our lives. For
7:34
Speaker 1: all those who are lovers of God Almighty, that we
7:38
Speaker 1: love you, Lord God. So I pray it's by faith
7:40
Speaker 1: knowing that You're able to answer these prayers according to
7:44
Speaker 1: your will and purpose for every single individual life and
7:47
Speaker 1: Jesus name. I pray it is by faith and all
7:49
Speaker 1: those who agree we say Amen to the Amen Jesus
7:52
Speaker 1: the Lord. So let's go for it. Help me share
7:54
Speaker 1: this out sixty seconds. When we come back, we'll get
7:56
Speaker 1: right into it today wrong prayer life. I'll be right.
7:59
Speaker 2: Backt heymen, Amen, we're back.
9:33
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for your patience and hanging out
9:37
Speaker 1: with us this morning on the morning Devo. Amen, I
9:40
Speaker 1: just want to read out the comment that I put
9:42
Speaker 1: up during a little break by my wife put up. Amen.
9:45
Speaker 1: It's interesting my wife says she sends blessings to everyone.
9:49
Speaker 1: And also one thing that I've learned is that prayer
9:53
Speaker 1: doesn't move the hand of God. Fast thing does. Prayer
9:59
Speaker 1: changes your heart towards what and who you're praying for. Amen.
10:03
Speaker 1: There's no way you could pray for somebody and hold
10:06
Speaker 1: thanks or anger against them at the same time. It
10:09
Speaker 1: could be before the prayer, you probably could be angry
10:12
Speaker 1: or I have inks or something against someone, but not
10:14
Speaker 1: during the prayer. After the prayer, maybe if you go
10:17
Speaker 1: back to that mode, you can thank you baby for
10:20
Speaker 1: sharing that comment. It's true fast thing changes us. Amen.
10:26
Speaker 1: We can't change God, but fasting changes us and our
10:29
Speaker 1: prayer life grows through that. Amen. Good morning, says is Joanne.
10:34
Speaker 1: Good morning, God bless you. Welcome back to the morning Devo.
10:36
Speaker 1: My sister and my friends. Sister Joys, Good morning, God
10:38
Speaker 1: bless you. It's good to see you here on the
10:40
Speaker 1: Morning Devo. My sister, my friend. Amen. Sister Joys knows
10:44
Speaker 1: a lot about prayer. She's a prayer warrior. God uses
10:47
Speaker 1: her in incredible ways because of her prayer life. And Amen.
10:54
Speaker 1: So I'm honored to have you, especially speaking about this
10:57
Speaker 1: topic about wrong prayer life. Although I believe you have
11:01
Speaker 1: the right prayer life, but there's people that might be
11:06
Speaker 1: in a way of prayer that they don't understand that
11:09
Speaker 1: they're doing it the wrong way. If you're being dishonest
11:12
Speaker 1: or if you're trying to manipulate people or trying to
11:15
Speaker 1: manipulate by using the word of God, that's the wrong
11:18
Speaker 1: type of prayer life. A man, Let's fix that today.
11:20
Speaker 1: Let's get that straight, Let's get that right. Amen. So
11:23
Speaker 1: let's go for a wrong prayer life today in the
11:25
Speaker 1: morning Devo. Amen. For those who are just listening, no worries.
11:29
Speaker 1: We're reading out of the amplified version in the Book
11:32
Speaker 1: of James Amen James, Chapter number four, verse number three,
11:36
Speaker 1: The Bible says, you ask God for something and do
11:41
Speaker 1: not receive it. You ever wonder God prayed for this
11:45
Speaker 1: and that and the third why didn't it happen? Well,
11:48
Speaker 1: sometimes we're praying things that are against God's will for
11:53
Speaker 1: our lives, and that's why it doesn't happen. Remember, God
11:55
Speaker 1: is a loving father. He's not going to give us
11:57
Speaker 1: everything we want. He's going to give us everything that
12:00
Speaker 1: we need. He's Jehovah Jabra, the God who sees our
12:04
Speaker 1: needs and provides for every single one of them. So
12:07
Speaker 1: James is saying in chapter four, verse three, you ask
12:10
Speaker 1: God for something and do not receive it. Why? Because
12:14
Speaker 1: you act with wrong motives. That's the wrong prayer life.
12:19
Speaker 1: That's the worst type of prayer when you asks with
12:21
Speaker 1: wrong motives out of selfishness or with an unrighteous agenda. Yeah,
12:28
Speaker 1: out of an unrighteous agenda, so that when you get
12:31
Speaker 1: what you want, you may spend it on your heatedonistic desires. Wow,
12:40
Speaker 1: are you serious, James? Are you really telling it like that? Yep,
12:44
Speaker 1: some people are praying. I've seen it. I've been in
12:46
Speaker 1: prayer circles, and I've unfortunately I fell into that trap
12:49
Speaker 1: a couple of times myself in my journey so far.
12:53
Speaker 1: And then pretty much early on in my walk, I
12:56
Speaker 1: would be mad at something or someone and I would
12:58
Speaker 1: bring up a prayer for that on something a man
13:01
Speaker 1: in a way that my heart wasn't right, and I
13:04
Speaker 1: will ask people to help me pray for this situation
13:07
Speaker 1: for that situation which wasn't right. It was out of selfishness,
13:11
Speaker 1: it was out of an unrighteous agenda. Amen. So you
13:15
Speaker 1: have to repent from those things I've did. I repent
13:17
Speaker 1: them from those type of prayers. Amen. And then it
13:20
Speaker 1: didn't match with what God wanted to do in my
13:22
Speaker 1: life or with what God wanted to do in the
13:25
Speaker 1: other's life that we were praying about or praying for.
13:29
Speaker 1: So be mindful that God, he is our prayers right,
13:32
Speaker 1: and he knows our hearts, and he knows your intentions
13:37
Speaker 1: and my intentions. Amen. So, in other words, we can't
13:40
Speaker 1: fool God. We can't manipulate him, we can't force his hand,
13:45
Speaker 1: we can't command God to do this that, and the
13:47
Speaker 1: third what we can do is trust and believe and
13:50
Speaker 1: have faith that God is going to move according to
13:53
Speaker 1: his perfect plan and perfect will for the lives of
13:57
Speaker 1: those we're praying for, whether we're praying for our own
14:00
Speaker 1: self or for others. I would think in my prayer life,
14:04
Speaker 1: I pray for others like ninety percent of the time. Amen.
14:09
Speaker 1: I need prayer every day over my own life. But
14:12
Speaker 1: for some reason, I guess I want others to be
14:15
Speaker 1: blessed too. I want others to receive their blessing. I
14:19
Speaker 1: want everybody to receive the promises of God that God
14:22
Speaker 1: promised them. Amen. So my prayer life is built upon
14:25
Speaker 1: not what I want. It's built upon by what other
14:28
Speaker 1: people can get through just serving and following the Lord Jesus.
14:33
Speaker 1: My wife says, when it comes to prayer, I'm always
14:36
Speaker 1: reminded of when we were youth leaders. You always taught
14:40
Speaker 1: the youth to pray for those that they had issues with,
14:43
Speaker 1: and their hearts were not only changed, but their hearts
14:46
Speaker 1: were softened and they let go of whatever they were
14:50
Speaker 1: angry about. Amazing. Yes, that's early on, man. I noticed
14:55
Speaker 1: that that you look at the prayers of in the scriptures, Amen,
14:59
Speaker 1: it was mostly for others. And when a prophet would
15:03
Speaker 1: come up. It wasn't like the prophecies of today. When
15:07
Speaker 1: a prophet would come. A prophet would come with a
15:09
Speaker 1: warning from God, warning the people to repent, warning people
15:13
Speaker 1: to turn back to God, warning people, and there will
15:15
Speaker 1: be a time of prayer and fascinating. Amen. Nowadays, I'm
15:21
Speaker 1: not saying these prophets that prophesie now are false prophets.
15:25
Speaker 1: But nowadays it's more like coming to your church or
15:30
Speaker 1: to your community and saying God is gonna bless He's
15:32
Speaker 1: going to do great things, and he is God's going
15:35
Speaker 1: to do great things. But it's very rarely a warning anymore, Amen,
15:40
Speaker 1: that I've seen, at least in my region, my part
15:44
Speaker 1: of town, my region, Amen, very rare when a prophet
15:48
Speaker 1: comes to town. Now, evangelists will come to your town, Amen,
15:51
Speaker 1: and tell it like it is because they know they
15:53
Speaker 1: could leave. Amen. And you know they cause us some
15:58
Speaker 1: rockets sometimes, but in a good way, in a golly way.
16:01
Speaker 1: They use the word of God. I believe most of
16:03
Speaker 1: the times correctly. And I guess the evangelist is the
16:07
Speaker 1: morning day prophet, you could say. Amen, So I'm mindful
16:12
Speaker 1: of all of that. Thank you, Babe for your comment
16:15
Speaker 1: and yet when we pray, it changes us, It changes
16:18
Speaker 1: our hearts towards others that we might be mad at
16:21
Speaker 1: or whatever. I do it often, amen, because I know
16:26
Speaker 1: that if I respond before I pray, my flesh could
16:30
Speaker 1: get in the way. Oh wow, that ribs. If I
16:32
Speaker 1: respond before I pray, my flesh could get in the way.
16:35
Speaker 1: Oh wow. All right, so that's what we're talking about.
16:38
Speaker 1: We want. We don't want a wrong prayer life. We
16:40
Speaker 1: want a right prayer life. We don't oh men, I
16:45
Speaker 1: left my notes. We don't want to Oh man, my
16:48
Speaker 1: notes disappeared. Okay, we don't want to waste our time
16:56
Speaker 1: pray right, but we want to be on point and
17:00
Speaker 1: I prayer. Let me try to get my notes again.
17:06
Speaker 1: I literally erased it. Yay, oops, second one of those
17:18
Speaker 1: morning bluebird things. Get it back. So yeah, I know
17:27
Speaker 1: it's disappeared. So the worst prayer I think you could pray, Amen,
17:33
Speaker 1: anybody could praise when you come to the Lord dishonestly.
17:37
Speaker 1: You don't want to do that. I don't want to
17:38
Speaker 1: do that. You don't want no parts of that. I
17:40
Speaker 1: don't want no parts of that. We want to come
17:42
Speaker 1: to the Lord artist with a clean with an open heart,
17:45
Speaker 1: and sometimes we go to cop our heart is not
17:48
Speaker 1: as clean as it should be. But pray anyway. Don't
17:51
Speaker 1: be afraid to pray to the Lord Amen, regardless of
17:54
Speaker 1: what you're going through where you're at, because He's going
17:56
Speaker 1: to hear your prayer and help you through. Brother, Ain't
18:00
Speaker 1: God bless you and everybody in the morning Devo. He
18:02
Speaker 1: sends blessing to everyone here. God bless you, my brother
18:05
Speaker 1: and my friend. So believers, we're forgiven once right for
18:14
Speaker 1: all our sins, once and for all through Christ's sacrifice.
18:19
Speaker 1: Hevele sense in right. So we know that when we pray,
18:22
Speaker 1: we don't come with prayers of shame. We come with
18:25
Speaker 1: prayers that even though we might be going through something rough,
18:29
Speaker 1: we might be in the rough spot, We're not gonna
18:31
Speaker 1: pray with wrong motives. We're not gonna pray with dishonest lips.
18:34
Speaker 1: We're not gonna play pray with unrighteousness. We might be
18:38
Speaker 1: dishonest at the time. We might be going through on
18:40
Speaker 1: righteousness or wickedness or whatever, but pray anyway. Do you
18:44
Speaker 1: understand that when you're born again your clans from all
18:48
Speaker 1: wickedness and all on righteousness, you can do exactly what
18:51
Speaker 1: the Word of God says you can do by the
18:53
Speaker 1: power that God gives us by way of His Holy
18:55
Speaker 1: Spirit for whatever reason. People like you're in prayer circles sometimes,
19:01
Speaker 1: and some people who say they're Christians when they say,
19:04
Speaker 1: who wants to pray for whatever reason? In my region, Amen,
19:08
Speaker 1: For my experience, what I'm seeing, very few people want
19:11
Speaker 1: to raise their hands and pray. As a matter of fact,
19:14
Speaker 1: I've even heard Christians proclaiming that they're Christians say I
19:18
Speaker 1: don't know how to pray or I'm afraid to pray.
19:21
Speaker 1: That's a little bit shocking and a little bit concerning
19:26
Speaker 1: a lot concerning. If you don't not a prayer, that
19:29
Speaker 1: means you don't speak to the Father. You. Prayer is simple?
19:33
Speaker 1: Are simple? I said it earlier. You're simply speaking to
19:36
Speaker 1: the Father, Amen, asking him or be asking for something
19:41
Speaker 1: you need him. You're adoring him, you're believing in him. Amen.
19:46
Speaker 1: So when you're in a prayer circle, don't be afraid
19:49
Speaker 1: to pray. You don't have to have extravagant words. You
19:51
Speaker 1: don't have to quote ten to fifteen scriptures. Amen. Is
19:54
Speaker 1: a simple conversation between you and God, and you're allowing
19:57
Speaker 1: others to hear. That's how I think of it. Man,
20:00
Speaker 1: it's not that complicated. Now, if you're a religious person,
20:03
Speaker 1: you're not gonna pray unless you have all your ducks
20:05
Speaker 1: in a row. You're gonna want to, you know, have
20:08
Speaker 1: theology right. You gotta have correct scriptures to match, and
20:13
Speaker 1: you to have flowery words. You can do that if
20:15
Speaker 1: that's the way you are, do it. But if that's
20:17
Speaker 1: not the way you are, don't be afraid to pray
20:19
Speaker 1: in any prayer circle. And man, lift up the name
20:21
Speaker 1: of Jesus and he would draw people to himself. We
20:24
Speaker 1: should not only want what is right prayer life. We
20:27
Speaker 1: should want a right prayer life before God, not just man. Amen. Amen.
20:32
Speaker 1: So I've heard prayers from people that are like wow, man,
20:36
Speaker 1: that's that's amazing, and then their lifestyle doesn't match up
20:41
Speaker 1: with what they're praying. I believe that's why there's wrong
20:45
Speaker 1: prayer life. I believe that's why James mentioned about righteous
20:49
Speaker 1: and manipulative ways and dishonest ways. I believe James seen
20:54
Speaker 1: in his own time and we're seeing it in our
20:56
Speaker 1: time too. But we don't want to be those people. Amen.
21:00
Speaker 1: It could happen to anyone if we're not focused on
21:03
Speaker 1: the reason of why prayer exists in the first place.
21:07
Speaker 1: If we're not speaking to God we're honesty, that would
21:09
Speaker 1: be dishonest. Amen, I really want to get to my notes.
21:13
Speaker 1: Let me try this again. But God is faithful to
21:17
Speaker 1: his word. He does everything right. That's the beautiful thing
21:20
Speaker 1: about God. He does everything right, and he knows where
21:23
Speaker 1: not always right. Yet he's so faithful, and he's so
21:29
Speaker 1: gentle with us. Amen, He's so patient with us. That
21:32
Speaker 1: was in my notes too, and it looks like I
21:43
Speaker 1: get it again. So he's patient with us. Can you
21:46
Speaker 1: imagine going to God's throwing room with grace and then
21:49
Speaker 1: looking around and like, wow, this this to throw room grace.
21:52
Speaker 1: But let me try to manipulate God to get what
21:54
Speaker 1: I want. I think that's gonna be a safe thing
21:57
Speaker 1: for you to do. I don't think so, Amen, I
22:03
Speaker 1: don't think so. I think what's gonna happen is that
22:06
Speaker 1: you're gonna be convicted by Holy Spirit. Amen. And you're
22:10
Speaker 1: not gonna want to do that ever. Again. You're gonna
22:12
Speaker 1: want to work things out properly according to how you
22:15
Speaker 1: want to move to God. Because God is always honest
22:17
Speaker 1: with us. So why wouldn't we be honest with him?
22:20
Speaker 1: My wife Nilopez says, I will be the first to
22:23
Speaker 1: admit that I was afraid as a new believer because
22:26
Speaker 1: I was intimidated by those long, elaborated prayers. Instead, prayer
22:31
Speaker 1: is simply speaking to God intimately. Amen. And if you allow.
22:37
Speaker 1: First of all, we have Holy Spirit God in us
22:38
Speaker 1: if we're born again, So even when we don't know
22:41
Speaker 1: what to pray or how to pray, the Holy Spirit
22:43
Speaker 1: will pray for us and through us. Amen. But on
22:46
Speaker 1: top of that, when you're new, yeah you might be shy.
22:49
Speaker 1: That's a human thing, but supernaturally we speak because God
22:53
Speaker 1: speaks through us. If we have Holy Spirit God in us.
22:56
Speaker 1: If you're not born again, then yeah, it might be
22:58
Speaker 1: a little intimidating. But I even see people who are
23:00
Speaker 1: not born again prayer and they just have a downpack.
23:04
Speaker 1: They have like a method, they have a scheme of
23:06
Speaker 1: things and they do it, and they have all these
23:09
Speaker 1: nice worries, big worries and everything, And it could be intimidating.
23:12
Speaker 1: But if you have a personal relationship with your Father
23:15
Speaker 1: who's in heaven, how it will be thy name that
23:17
Speaker 1: kidom come though will be done on earth as it
23:19
Speaker 1: is in Heaven. Give us today our daily bread, and
23:21
Speaker 1: forgive us our trespasses that we know we forgive others
23:24
Speaker 1: to truspass against us, Deliver us from the evil one.
23:27
Speaker 1: And if you have like those type of scriptures in
23:30
Speaker 1: your heart, your prayer life is going to be next
23:34
Speaker 1: level because you're speaking to the Father honestly. And you
23:38
Speaker 1: know when you could always win in your prayer is
23:40
Speaker 1: when you repeat the word of God back to God
23:43
Speaker 1: in a prayer. Amen. So that takes you out of
23:46
Speaker 1: the way, takes all your motives out the way because
23:48
Speaker 1: nice speaking truth, and you're prophesying because God's word is prophetic.
23:52
Speaker 1: God's word is alive, active, shopping at any double edged sword.
23:55
Speaker 1: And God will release a menpower through your prayer. Amen.
24:00
Speaker 1: Let me try this again, Amen, So here it goes.
24:11
Speaker 1: Got it. Some prayers are unanswered because they are they
24:16
Speaker 1: are seeking self seeking prayers other than God prayers. Right,
24:23
Speaker 1: If you're going to God with a self seeking prayer,
24:27
Speaker 1: I would say it is a real slim chance of
24:28
Speaker 1: those prayers that come to pass because God knows they're selfish. Amen.
24:34
Speaker 1: And also some prayers go answer because we're asking God
24:38
Speaker 1: for something with raw motives. God, can you do this
24:42
Speaker 1: for me? And God knows that when you get that thing,
24:46
Speaker 1: whatever that thing is, it could be financial breakthrough, it
24:49
Speaker 1: could be healing to you. By that, you're gonna take
24:51
Speaker 1: that and go buck wild with it. God is a
24:55
Speaker 1: loving father, is not a hating father. So he's he's
24:58
Speaker 1: mindful of what we're praying for. That's why a lot
25:01
Speaker 1: of people go around saying, be careful what you pray
25:03
Speaker 1: for a man, because if you get what you pray for,
25:06
Speaker 1: and if you misuse the blessing, or if you misuse
25:10
Speaker 1: the promise, or you misuse people a man, there's gonna
25:14
Speaker 1: be a price to pay. No one's getting I know,
25:17
Speaker 1: and even myself. Sometimes I look at some situations, I'd
25:20
Speaker 1: be like, God is letting them get away with it,
25:22
Speaker 1: and I remind myself God is not mocked. Do not
25:25
Speaker 1: be deceived. God is not mocked. But a man who
25:28
Speaker 1: souls he will reap. When a man reaps, he will sow.
25:31
Speaker 1: So if you're sowing discord, you're sowing a manipulation, you're
25:35
Speaker 1: sowing lies and profilying all that. You think because of
25:39
Speaker 1: the grace of God, his amazing grace, you think, well, look,
25:42
Speaker 1: I'm still here, I'm still alive. I guess God is
25:44
Speaker 1: gonna get me passed. It might look that way, but
25:46
Speaker 1: do not be deceived. God is not mocked. Amen. So
25:50
Speaker 1: if you're reaping love, you will. If you're sowing love,
25:54
Speaker 1: you will reap love. If you're sowing hatred, you will repatred.
25:59
Speaker 1: If you're on with God, Amen, He's honest with us
26:02
Speaker 1: all the time. So we don't even have to worry
26:04
Speaker 1: about God lying to us because God doesn't lie. We lie.
26:08
Speaker 1: Let every man be a liar and God be the truth. Amen.
26:11
Speaker 1: So grow motives, personal pleasures rather than God's will is
26:16
Speaker 1: the wrong prayer life. The importance of a learning our
26:20
Speaker 1: heart with God's purposes is the right prayer life. Amen.
26:25
Speaker 1: We are trying to align ourselves with God's promises with
26:28
Speaker 1: his word. Amen, for today and in the future. Yesterday's
26:33
Speaker 1: gone havings. You noticed, every day is a new day.
26:37
Speaker 1: So that's the grace of God in our lives that
26:39
Speaker 1: allows us to see a new day, whether this day
26:42
Speaker 1: is going to be a good day or a bad day,
26:44
Speaker 1: because yes, there's bad days. We're live in a broken world.
26:47
Speaker 1: I can't lie. Why would I lie about that? But
26:50
Speaker 1: I could pray to God and ask him to create
26:53
Speaker 1: a day of protection. Protect me, God, reguard me, lead me. Amen.
26:58
Speaker 1: So that way, whatever happens, I knowed a guy that
27:01
Speaker 1: I can trust, a father in heaven that's with me.
27:03
Speaker 1: I'm never alone. So Jesus cautions us about praying with
27:08
Speaker 1: empty repetition or for a show. Amen. I probably have
27:12
Speaker 1: to revisit this. This is a lot more and I
27:14
Speaker 1: couldn't find my notes earlier. Amen. So when we visit this,
27:18
Speaker 1: I'll pray nice Scott if he wants me to continue
27:21
Speaker 1: with this but wrong prayer life. You don't want that,
27:23
Speaker 1: You want the right prayer life. Read James chapter for
27:26
Speaker 1: the whole chapter for yourself. I got them running out
27:28
Speaker 1: of time here. But God, bless you all. Thank you
27:30
Speaker 1: so much for hanging out with me. God keep you all,
27:33
Speaker 1: and remember always that God is good. Peace.
