Prayer - You're Invited! · Adventures: Bible Truths in Action

• 0:04
  Excuse me, I'm the phone man. I'm here to install your new
• 0:08
  phone line. Awesome.
• 0:10
  So I can talk to God and he can talk to me.
• 0:13
  That's impossible. Nobody calls God.
• 0:16
  Oh, I do. I'm his child.
• 0:20
  Yeah, and I'm Chuck E Cheese. No, really, I am a child of God
• 0:25
  who paid for the phone to be installed.
• 0:29
  Jesus Christ. Hey, isn't he a movie star or
• 0:33
  something? He's the son of God.
• 0:35
  How'd you get the Son of God to pay for this phone?
• 0:38
  Actually, he became a man so that I could become a child of
• 0:42
  God. He died on the cross.
• 0:44
  For my sins, I received him as my Lord and Savior.
• 0:48
  That's all I had to do. And so for that you get free
• 0:52
  installation on a phone. Yep.
• 0:54
  So I can talk to God and he can talk to me.
• 0:57
  God likes to talk to his children.
• 0:59
  I get it. My dad likes talking to his
• 1:02
  kids. He calls me every holiday to see
• 1:04
  how things are going. Now let me ask you something.
• 1:07
  What happens when you mess up? Mess up.
• 1:11
  Yeah, you know, do something wrong.
• 1:13
  What do you call that? You mean sin?
• 1:16
  Yeah, sin. Does God take the phone back
• 1:19
  when you sin? No, no, no, no, no.
• 1:22
  When I sin, I ask God to forgive me.
• 1:25
  Jesus paid the penalty for all sin.
• 1:27
  So I guess that means you could just do whatever you want, huh?
• 1:32
  What do you? Mean If this Jesus paid the
• 1:34
  penalty for your sin, you could just go sin all you want and not
• 1:37
  have to worry about it. Why would I want to do that?
• 1:41
  Well, why not? When I received Jesus as my
• 1:46
  Savior, I finally got free from the bondage of sin.
• 1:50
  And now you want me to become a prisoner again?
• 1:53
  That doesn't make sense. That would be like getting a
• 1:56
  phone installed so that you can talk to God, but then you never
• 2:00
  talk to him. I was just asking there, should
• 2:04
  be working now. That's strange.
• 2:06
  I don't hear a thing. Let me try.
• 2:09
  Hello. God, it's me.
• 2:12
  It's great to talk to you. Hold on a minute.
• 2:15
  The phone man is still here. Thanks.
• 2:18
  It works fine. If you say so.
• 2:21
  I didn't hear a thing when I picked it up.
• 2:23
  Have you ever received Jesus as your savior?
• 2:26
  Have you made Jesus the Lord of your life?
• 2:29
  No, can't say that I have. That's the problem then.
• 2:33
  You can't fellowship with God until you receive Jesus.
• 2:36
  You might want to look into that.
• 2:38
  OK, see you later. I'm back, Lord.
• 2:41
  Do what? OK, you're the boss.
• 2:45
  Hey, full man, wait up. I'm going to tell you about
• 2:49
  Jesus. If you would like to receive
• 2:53
  Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you can pray this prayer with me
• 2:57
  right now. Jesus, I believe you are the Son
• 3:03
  of God. You died on the cross for my
• 3:07
  sin. You rose from the dead and you
• 3:12
  are alive today. Jesus, I receive you as my Lord
• 3:19
  and Savior. Thank you for making me your
• 3:25
  child in Jesus name. Amen.
• 3:34
  I did it. I invented the most spectacular
• 3:38
  invention in the history of inventing to add to my
• 3:41
  inventory. Now I will be able to solve all
• 3:44
  of the world's problems. What is it, you may ask?
• 3:48
  It is a robot. Well, really, it's a computer.
• 3:51
  Actually, it's a computer robot. Or you could call it a robot
• 3:55
  computer. Whatever.
• 3:58
  Come in P2G? Hello, Professor Tiffany.
• 4:06
  Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, I proudly present to you
• 4:12
  P2G. Hello, welcome.
• 4:15
  Does anyone have a problem that they need help with?
• 4:18
  I'm. Scared of the.
• 4:19
  Dark. Pray to God.
• 4:25
  That's right, when we pray, we should remember Hebrews 13-5
• 4:30
  that says God loves us and will never leave us, even when it's
• 4:33
  dark. Anyone else?
• 4:36
  I'm doing bad in school. Pray to God.
• 4:42
  Yes, P2G as we pray, we remember Philippians 213 that says that
• 4:47
  God works in US and through us to do good works and He will
• 4:51
  never give up on us. OK, P2 GI thought of a problem.
• 4:56
  There are hungry children who have nothing to eat.
• 4:59
  What can they do to get some food?
• 5:04
  Pray to God. Good answer, P2G Matthew 77
• 5:10
  teaches us to ask and we shall receive.
• 5:13
  And God may speak to us to give food to those in need so they
• 5:17
  won't be hungry. Now a lot of people are getting
• 5:20
  a disease called cancer. Pito G What is the cure for
• 5:24
  cancer? This should be really good.
• 5:29
  Pray to God. Pray to God that will cure
• 5:33
  cancer. Oh, that's right.
• 5:35
  Mark, 1617 and 18 says that when we believe we should lay hands
• 5:41
  on the sick and they will be healed.
• 5:43
  OK, here's a tough one. There are many people, even in
• 5:48
  our town, that sleep outside at night because they have no home.
• 5:52
  What can they do to get a job and no home?
• 5:55
  People want to know the information I'm getting.
• 5:58
  Pray to God. Wait a minute.
• 6:01
  That's the same answer you've been giving to every question
• 6:04
  asked. Maybe if I ask something simple,
• 6:08
  I know what can I do to quench my thirst.
• 6:16
  Drink water? No.
• 6:18
  Excellent, P2G. OK, now what if there is no
• 6:22
  water? Pray to God.
• 6:28
  Pray to God not again. Wait, yes, that's brilliant.
• 6:33
  I just realized the most people try everything else to solve a
• 6:37
  problem before they ever stop to pray.
• 6:40
  If people would just pray first, God could help them solve the
• 6:44
  problems they're having. God's word has been telling us
• 6:48
  to pray all along. If we ask anything according to
• 6:54
  God's will, he hears us. And if He hears us, we know that
• 7:01
  we have what we have asked of him first.
• 7:05
  John, 514 through 15. You're right, P2G.
• 7:12
  Yes. Thank you for telling us the
• 7:14
  answer to the world's problem. Pray.
• 7:17
  You are welcome. Good day.
• 7:27
  I'm tired of all these people walking straight into God's
• 7:30
  throne room to get help when. They're in trouble.
• 7:33
  Hey, I know what I'll do. I'll just pose as God's
• 7:37
  receptionist and I won't let anyone pass.
• 7:41
  Whoa, whoa. Whoa, whoa.
• 7:43
  You can't just walk into the throne.
• 7:44
  Room of. God.
• 7:45
  Why not? I do it all the time.
• 7:48
  Well, not this time. Do you have an appointment with
• 7:51
  a big man? I'm a walk in.
• 7:53
  This is my second time today. Hey, I've never been checked
• 7:56
  like this before. Just exactly who are you?
• 7:59
  I'll ask the questions if you don't mind.
• 8:02
  What's your name? Zoe, I'm a waitress and I have a
• 8:05
  little problem with one of my customers.
• 8:07
  It's the bald guy with a tattoo on his head, isn't it, Zoe?
• 8:10
  Yes, he's so rude. He's so rude that you've been
• 8:14
  tempted to take his plate of food and rub it all over his
• 8:17
  bald head. Isn't that true, Zoe?
• 8:20
  Wow. How did you know that?
• 8:22
  It's my business to know. Oh yeah, Look, can I just go in?
• 8:26
  I just wanted to ask God to forgive me and to pray that that
• 8:29
  rude man receives Jesus as his Savior.
• 8:32
  I don't think God has time for you right now.
• 8:35
  He's a little disappointed in your behavior.
• 8:38
  He is. Yeah, if I were you.
• 8:40
  I beat it. And stay gone.
• 8:42
  Zoe, you're lucky you didn't get struck by lightning.
• 8:46
  Straighten up your ACT and then come back and see me and we'll
• 8:49
  talk about making an appointment with the big man.
• 8:52
  Well, OK. Is this the way to the throne
• 9:04
  room of God? Yes it is.
• 9:06
  You need to check in with me first before I can let you in.
• 9:10
  Oh, it must be a new policy. Usually I just walk in.
• 9:15
  I'm Miss Chloe. I'm here for my 2:00
• 9:18
  appointment. Well, Miss Chloe, I regret to
• 9:20
  inform you that you've been deleted.
• 9:23
  Deleted, but that's impossible. May I remind you, Miss Chloe,
• 9:28
  that nothing is impossible with God.
• 9:30
  But why was my appointment deleted?
• 9:33
  Well, to be honest, you were cussing just 30 minutes ago.
• 9:38
  I know, and I'm really sorry about that.
• 9:42
  It's because I lost some money, you know, a bad business deal.
• 9:46
  I really needed to talk to God about it.
• 9:49
  Well, Miss Chloe, I'd say you were in a pickle because the big
• 9:53
  man doesn't want to talk to you. I'd suggest you wash your mouth
• 9:57
  out with soap and take your money problems to bed with you
• 9:59
  and worry about them all night long.
• 10:02
  Come back and see me tomorrow and maybe I can help you then.
• 10:06
  But sorry, no butts allowed. Could you just tell God that I'm
• 10:10
  sorry? I really am.
• 10:12
  I. Just where do you think you're
• 10:23
  going? I'm going to talk to God.
• 10:26
  Joey, right? Yeah.
• 10:28
  You've been disobeying your mom and dad, Joey.
• 10:31
  God is really disappointed in you.
• 10:33
  I don't think this would be a good time to see him.
• 10:36
  You're on his naughty. List.
• 10:38
  God doesn't. Have a naughty list.
• 10:40
  Jesus died to make me righteous. I'm in right standing with God.
• 10:45
  You don't fool me Mr. Devil. Now get lost in Jesus name.
• 10:50
  No, no, I can't win. Father God, I thank you that I
• 10:57
  can come boldly to you and you hear my prayers in Jesus name.
• 11:09
  Excuse me, are you the supply Sergeant?
• 11:13
  You got them, soldier. Sir, I'm out of.
• 11:15
  Ammo. I copy.
• 11:19
  Excuse me, Sir. What is it, soldier?
• 11:22
  The enemy is moving closer. I really need that ammo.
• 11:26
  I know you do, soldier. I've got a ton of it right here.
• 11:30
  Then why won't you give me any, Sir?
• 11:32
  You do not have because you do not ask.
• 11:36
  What was that, Sir? That was James Ford too.
• 11:39
  Soldier, you don't pray much, do you?
• 11:41
  Why would I pray, Sir? This is the Lord's army,
• 11:44
  soldier. You are a Christian, aren't you?
• 11:47
  If you mean do I have Jesus in my heart, then yes, Sir.
• 11:51
  God wants his children to pray because he wants to bless them.
• 11:55
  You do not have because you do not ask James 4/2.
• 12:00
  May I have some ammo? I'd be glad to give you as much
• 12:04
  as you want. Come on back and load it up.
• 12:06
  Thank you, Sir. Hey Sarge, what you doing?
• 12:15
  Supply needs and desires. That's what I always do.
• 12:19
  Thanks for loading me up on the ammo the other night.
• 12:22
  Glad to do it. What you need, soldier?
• 12:24
  I'm starving. I've got plenty of everything
• 12:28
  what you want. You'll give me what I want.
• 12:30
  What you want? Got any of those with the
• 12:33
  spaghetti and cookies? Tons of them.
• 12:38
  Well. Well, what?
• 12:41
  Are you going to give me some? How many is some?
• 12:44
  10 Is that too much? I could give you 100 and I'd
• 12:48
  never miss them. Oh, 100 would be really nice.
• 12:54
  You do not have because you do not ask James Ford too.
• 12:58
  Remember Soldier? Yeah, but I've been standing
• 13:02
  here telling you what I want. I just thought you'd get them
• 13:04
  from me or or something. God wants his children to pray
• 13:08
  because he wants to bless them. Yeah, yeah, you told me that.
• 13:13
  There's a part of praying where you ask for something, and
• 13:16
  there's a part where you thank God before you even see it.
• 13:20
  That's faith, OK? I got it.
• 13:24
  You're at the asking part, soldier.
• 13:27
  Now here's the rule. You do not have because you do
• 13:31
  not ask James 4/2. May I have 200 of those with the
• 13:36
  spaghetti and cookies? No problem, come on around and
• 13:40
  load up. Hey Sarge, this is my corporal.
• 13:48
  He needs some fatigues. You got any?
• 13:51
  What size O30 twos? Got a ton of them.
• 13:55
  How many? You want Three.
• 13:57
  I could give you 10 and I wouldn't even miss them threes
• 14:00
  plenty. Excuse me, Serge, I thought you
• 14:05
  had a ton of them. Soldier, would you mind telling
• 14:09
  the corporal my rule? What rule?
• 14:12
  You do not have because you do not ask James 4/2.
• 14:17
  This is a. Joke, huh?
• 14:19
  You do not have because you do not ask James 4/2.
• 14:26
  Forget it. Hey, come back.
• 14:28
  It's no joke. All you have to do is ask.
• 14:33
  I don't understand why did he leave?
• 14:36
  It happens all the time. Some people just don't want to
• 14:39
  ask for some strange reason, they just can't handle the rule.
• 14:44
  I hope he never needs something from God.
• 14:47
  God wants his children to pray because he wants to bless them.
• 14:51
  Corporal, it's no joke. I better go get him.
• 15:02
  That is our our wonder working power in the blood.
• 15:09
  Who's singing that song? It's you.
• 15:15
  I should. Have known?
• 15:16
  Sorry, Master. What are you doing in here
• 15:18
  anyway? I thought.
• 15:20
  I assigned you to harass. Those Christian kids?
• 15:23
  You did but. But what?
• 15:27
  You know what happens when they pray.
• 15:29
  I know one of. Them puts a.
• 15:31
  Thousand of us to. Flight.
• 15:33
  Two of them sends 10,000 of us. Running.
• 15:36
  We've got to stop. Them.
• 15:38
  We can't stop kids from praying. Why?
• 15:41
  That would be like trying to stop Jesus from praying.
• 15:46
  Don't say. That name.
• 15:50
  Sorry, Master. I know we couldn't stop G.
• 15:55
  You know. Who from praying?
• 15:58
  We couldn't stop him. Don't you mean you couldn't stop
• 16:01
  him? How would you like to go?
• 16:03
  Live in a herd of pigs. Oh, no thanks.
• 16:07
  The last time I tried, they decided to go swimming and I
• 16:10
  nearly drowned. Well then, think of a way to.
• 16:13
  Stop the kids from praying. Otherwise, your name is Porky.
• 16:18
  Get it, Porky. As in pig.
• 16:22
  I got it. I got it.
• 16:24
  I'll think of something, master. You'd better.
• 16:27
  If I had a little. Help 2000 years ago we.
• 16:31
  Might have stopped. Oh, never mind.
• 16:38
  How am I going to stop them? Oh, I could tell them that God
• 16:43
  doesn't answer prayer anymore. Nah, they'd never believe that
• 16:47
  lie. I could tell them that God
• 16:51
  doesn't listen to little kids when they pray.
• 16:54
  Nah, they'd never. Believe that either.
• 16:58
  Oh oh oh. I could get them to disobey
• 17:01
  God's word and then convince them that God is mad at them.
• 17:04
  Then they'll be afraid to pray. Nah.
• 17:08
  That won't work either. Oh, I got it.
• 17:11
  I got it. I got it.
• 17:12
  I know I'll make them forget to pray.
• 17:15
  I'll keep them so busy they won't have time to even think
• 17:18
  about praying. That just might.
• 17:21
  Work. I hope it will work.
• 17:24
  I don't like pigs.
