- 0:24Speaker 1: New day, Amen, New morning Devo and the new word
- 0:28Speaker 1: that God has for me and for you. Every time
- 0:30Speaker 1: that we open up His word, devote some time and
- 0:33Speaker 1: the first thing of our day. Amen. I believe that
- 0:36Speaker 1: sets us up for an amazing opportunity to experience Holy Spirit,
- 0:42Speaker 1: God active in the life of a believer. Amen. Today
- 0:47Speaker 1: we're talking about praying in the spirit, and I know
- 0:51Speaker 1: a lot of people are automatically got to think that
- 0:53Speaker 1: I'm talking about speaking in tongues a man or praying tongues.
- 0:58Speaker 1: That could be that's part of it, right, and that's good,
- 1:02Speaker 1: and I respect that of course, heavenly language, right the tongues.
- 1:09Speaker 1: There's more though to it, Amen, Praying in the Spirit
- 1:13Speaker 1: is about recognizing and embracing our union with Christ and
- 1:19Speaker 1: the experience of the Holy Spirit within us. Holy Spirit
- 1:25Speaker 1: in us. We already know that Jesus on the cross
- 1:29Speaker 1: was God for us right, Jesus his ministry, and the
- 1:38Speaker 1: earth was God with us. Emanuel, Holy Spirit, God is
- 1:43Speaker 1: God in us. Amen. So we have God for us,
- 1:49Speaker 1: God with us, and God in us. Amen. Romans chapter eight,
- 1:54Speaker 1: verse number nine. That's where we're gonna be at today, Amen.
- 1:57Speaker 1: Romans chapter eight, verse number nine. Praying in the Spirit
- 2:01Speaker 1: today in the morning, Devo. If you have any questions, comments, concerns,
- 2:05Speaker 1: or any prayer requests, don't hesitate to leave in a
- 2:07Speaker 1: live chat exactly what we're here for. Amen, That goes.
- 2:12Speaker 1: I'm just checking the audio, make sure everything's running. And man,
- 2:16Speaker 1: last time there was a lag between I hope there's
- 2:18Speaker 1: no lag today. Don't know why there was a lag
- 2:20Speaker 1: the other day between my voice and the image. If
- 2:24Speaker 1: you were watching a live stream, you couldn't figure it out.
- 2:26Speaker 1: I don't know why that happened. That hasn't happened in
- 2:28Speaker 1: a long time. And man, that was old school. That
- 2:31Speaker 1: was an old school issue when live streaming first came out, right,
- 2:35Speaker 1: it was out of sync a lot of times, and
- 2:37Speaker 1: it didn't matter if you are a multi million dollar
- 2:39Speaker 1: ministry or a thousand, multi thousand dollars ministry like I am.
- 2:43Speaker 1: But yeah, it was lagging. So hopefully everything's lining up today.
- 2:48Speaker 1: If not, the most important thing is the audio, the word,
- 2:52Speaker 1: what's being spoken through the scripture. Even That's why I'm
- 2:56Speaker 1: always telling people listen to me. Audios is powerful. It
- 3:00Speaker 1: will always be all powerful until the Lord comes back.
- 3:04Speaker 1: Images could be powerful. Amen. Some people need to see
- 3:08Speaker 1: things to learn better. But I know audio is something
- 3:13Speaker 1: that reaches through our irrigates, touches our mind, touches our heart,
- 3:18Speaker 1: and paints pictures. And when God's word is read a man,
- 3:22Speaker 1: we are prophesying. We are painting eternity, and through our
- 3:26Speaker 1: eyes and through our mind, Amen, and in our hearts,
- 3:30Speaker 1: we are developing the character in us that's being created
- 3:36Speaker 1: in the image. Like we're being more like Jesus when
- 3:40Speaker 1: we read his word. We're being more like God. When
- 3:43Speaker 1: we apply the word a man, we are in union
- 3:47Speaker 1: with Christ. In union with Christ, there's no way that
- 3:50Speaker 1: a believer could say that we don't have no holy spirit.
- 3:53Speaker 1: If you're going around as a believer saying you have
- 3:55Speaker 1: no holy spirit, then you need to go into the
- 3:58Speaker 1: scriptures ask God, why is that? Why do you think
- 4:02Speaker 1: that way, because that's definitely against God's word. We have
- 4:05Speaker 1: his spirit according to his word, Amen, and his word
- 4:08Speaker 1: is his will. Good morning, God, bless you, sister Joanne.
- 4:12Speaker 1: Good morning, God bless you. Welcome back, my sister and
- 4:14Speaker 1: my friend to the morning Devo. So let's go for it. Amen.
- 4:17Speaker 1: Let's see what's going on through prayer, holy Spirit, praying
- 4:24Speaker 1: in the spirit, praying in the spirit. So let's pray first.
- 4:28Speaker 1: After we pray, we'll share this out for like sixty seconds,
- 4:30Speaker 1: and then when we come back, we'll get right into
- 4:33Speaker 1: our first scripture, which is Romans, chapter eight, verse number nine. Father,
- 4:37Speaker 1: in the name of Jesus, I thank you that we
- 4:39Speaker 1: have reunion with you, that you created us to be
- 4:45Speaker 1: doing your will here on earth on this side of eternity.
- 4:50Speaker 1: Thank you, Lord God, that we have access to the
- 4:53Speaker 1: heavily realms, and that we're already seated in heavenly places,
- 4:57Speaker 1: and we bring Heaven to earth wherever we go, because
- 5:00Speaker 1: we have the Eternal One living within us. I pray,
- 5:04Speaker 1: Lod God, that every single person that's listening or watching
- 5:07Speaker 1: will get this message, will get this union already in
- 5:12Speaker 1: their minds, settled in their heart. They would know that
- 5:16Speaker 1: you are real and that you are active, That you
- 5:19Speaker 1: are the one that forgives, that you are the one
- 5:21Speaker 1: who gives eternal life, that you are the one provides.
- 5:24Speaker 1: That you are Holy Spirit, God, living within every single
- 5:28Speaker 1: one of your children here on earth. I pray, Lord God,
- 5:31Speaker 1: a supernatural had your protection over all of us, our families,
- 5:36Speaker 1: our children, our marriages, our friends, our businesses, our ministries,
- 5:41Speaker 1: whether we're in school, work, wherever we are, Lord God,
- 5:44Speaker 1: that you would continue to guide, guard and protect. I pray,
- 5:49Speaker 1: Low God, and I step forward dispatch angels in the
- 5:53Speaker 1: name of Jesus to every single person's household, every single
- 5:57Speaker 1: person's driving situation right now, if you're driving and listening
- 5:59Speaker 1: to audio on a podcast on the radio, wherever you
- 6:03Speaker 1: find your children, Lo God, I pray, Lord God, supernatural increase,
- 6:07Speaker 1: supernatural blessing and an encounter that they would never forget.
- 6:11Speaker 1: And that little guy, that you would continue to impart
- 6:13Speaker 1: your word in every single one of us and Jesus
- 6:16Speaker 1: Holy Name. I pray is by faith and those who
- 6:19Speaker 1: agree we say Amen and Amen God blessed. So brother
- 6:23Speaker 1: Eye and I see you, God blessed blessing to you
- 6:26Speaker 1: as well, My bro God. Bless you. Welcome to the
- 6:28Speaker 1: morning Devo. Help me share this out sixty seconds. When
- 6:30Speaker 1: we come back, we'll get right into today's morning Devo
- 6:33Speaker 1: praying in the spirit. I'll be right back. All right.
- 8:10Speaker 1: We got a couple of amens here. Let me put
- 8:12Speaker 1: that up before we get right into it, and we
- 8:15Speaker 1: put what we have on the screen today. The Word
- 8:18Speaker 1: of God. Amen, listen. The Word of God is so
- 8:22Speaker 1: powerful that every time we read it and we come
- 8:25Speaker 1: together and we touch and agreed, we read the word
- 8:29Speaker 1: when two more gathered. The Bible says, in the name
- 8:32Speaker 1: of Jesus, when we gather in Him for him, he
- 8:35Speaker 1: works through us. Amen. And he's in the mist of
- 8:39Speaker 1: these morning DeVos. He's in a mist of any Bible. Stay.
- 8:42Speaker 1: He's in the mist of the Fellowship of Christ. He's
- 8:45Speaker 1: in the midst of your church. He's in a miss
- 8:47Speaker 1: Why because he's with us. You ever hear somebody saying
- 8:50Speaker 1: I feel Holy ghosts, I feel God? Amen? Well, Amen,
- 8:54Speaker 1: he lives within us. We should all have a feeling
- 8:56Speaker 1: of who and sense of who He is living through us. Man.
- 9:00Speaker 1: So that's a valid statement. When somebody says I feel
- 9:03Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit. Amen, they are telling you that he's
- 9:06Speaker 1: alive and active in their lives a man, So there
- 9:09Speaker 1: should be no issue with that. I know it might
- 9:11Speaker 1: sound strange to a lot of people, but listen, it's true.
- 9:14Speaker 1: If Holy Spirit lives, lives is alive in a believer,
- 9:18Speaker 1: alive and a man or a woman of God or
- 9:20Speaker 1: a child of God, whatever the case may be, we'll feel,
- 9:24Speaker 1: will sense, we'll know he's guiding us, guarding us and
- 9:27Speaker 1: protecting us and leading us into all truth. It's an
- 9:30Speaker 1: amazing feeling. Man, if you never felt that's around a
- 9:34Speaker 1: mean today, admit that you're a sinner. Go to Jesus
- 9:37Speaker 1: to ask him to forgive you for your sins. He
- 9:39Speaker 1: will forgive you, and he will send Holy Spirit, God
- 9:44Speaker 1: the comforter, to live within you, and you'll have union
- 9:49Speaker 1: with Christ by way of Holy Spirit. And then you
- 9:52Speaker 1: get ahead and believe the word of God. And then
- 9:54Speaker 1: you'll get ahead and confess that Jesus is your personal
- 9:57Speaker 1: Lord and Savior, and people will be what happened to
- 10:00Speaker 1: that person, Well, that's been a transformation. Has been a change,
- 10:04Speaker 1: a change of direction, destiny, change motives, change life, change
- 10:11Speaker 1: words change. You start speaking word, you start believing word,
- 10:15Speaker 1: you start activating your faith and you'll live a whole
- 10:18Speaker 1: new life and the old person that you used to
- 10:21Speaker 1: be Fanetho gun done. That Holy Spirit will continue to
- 10:27Speaker 1: lift you up. We'll continue to move you forward. We'll
- 10:30Speaker 1: continue to guide you on the right path. The flesh
- 10:33Speaker 1: will be kind of mad, flesh. You'd be like, what
- 10:37Speaker 1: I have control now, and I have control the devil
- 10:40Speaker 1: he flees, Submit to God, resist the devil, and what
- 10:43Speaker 1: does the devil do he flees? So today in the morning, Devo,
- 10:46Speaker 1: we're gonna find out what praying in the spirit means
- 10:49Speaker 1: a man, very powerful tool to know that you can
- 10:54Speaker 1: that you can pray, speak and pray in the spirit.
- 10:58Speaker 1: Praying in the spirit. Spirit, let's go for it. That
- 11:00Speaker 1: put this on the screen real quick. Amen, there you
- 11:03Speaker 1: go frying in the spirit. Of course, it's a mountaintop
- 11:06Speaker 1: experience to me. So I put a mountain there a man,
- 11:09Speaker 1: and above that we are speaking to God, the one
- 11:13Speaker 1: who created the mountains, the one that moves mountains, Amen,
- 11:16Speaker 1: and the one who lists lists lifts us up above
- 11:22Speaker 1: the mountain. Like our pastor been teaching us about transcendence
- 11:27Speaker 1: a man, we are going higher and higher and higher
- 11:30Speaker 1: to greater, to greater, to greater and levels a man
- 11:34Speaker 1: above the norm. We're not trending a man, we are transcending,
- 11:39Speaker 1: according to the scriptures, according to how God wants us
- 11:42Speaker 1: to live a man. Yes, we're here on earth, walking
- 11:45Speaker 1: here on earth, but the Bible says that we are
- 11:48Speaker 1: already seated in heavenly places. That's right. So the word
- 11:54Speaker 1: God is tremendous when you receive it, when you apply
- 11:58Speaker 1: it and believe it ready, transformation is gonna happen. Romans
- 12:03Speaker 1: chapter eight, verse number nine. Romans eight and nine says, however,
- 12:09Speaker 1: so something happened before. Apostle Paul says, however, you probably
- 12:14Speaker 1: described something before, and now you're saying but now so, however,
- 12:20Speaker 1: you are not living in the flesh controlled by the
- 12:25Speaker 1: sinful nature. And you say that over your life. Right now,
- 12:30Speaker 1: you are not living in the flesh controlled by the
- 12:34Speaker 1: sinful nature. Let's stop right here, quick break. Let you
- 12:39Speaker 1: know that you are no longer a sinner. God Lord
- 12:45Speaker 1: Jesus help us. Stop calling yourself a sinner saved by grace.
- 12:51Speaker 1: You were a sinner identified by a sinner captured by sin.
- 12:56Speaker 1: You will bound to sin before Jesus saved you, Before
- 13:03Speaker 1: Holy Spirit dwelt in you before the Father sent the
- 13:06Speaker 1: Son to save you and me. We were sinners past sense.
- 13:12Speaker 1: Now we are not living in the flesh controlled by
- 13:16Speaker 1: the sinful nature, but in the spirit. If, in fact,
- 13:22Speaker 1: the Spirit of God lives in you, directing and guiding you,
- 13:28Speaker 1: you're living in the spirit, and the Spirit don't sin.
- 13:31Speaker 1: Last time I checked, holy Spirit is holy, flawless spirit.
- 13:37Speaker 1: He does not sin, so therefore he lives inside of you.
- 13:40Speaker 1: So you have the sinless holy Spirit of God living
- 13:43Speaker 1: inside of you and giving your identity in Christ, your
- 13:47Speaker 1: union with Christ. So therefore you are who God calls
- 13:50Speaker 1: you to be. You're no longer what you want to
- 13:53Speaker 1: call yourself. Just to make it sound like you're being
- 13:55Speaker 1: humble or I'm still this and I'm still that, I'm nobody,
- 13:59Speaker 1: stop it. You are somebody. If we were nobody, God
- 14:02Speaker 1: would have not paid attention to us. Right, Spirit, your
- 14:06Speaker 1: dad and I Spirit, your mom. We're here last night,
- 14:08Speaker 1: and they always drop bombs of word and wisdom and
- 14:11Speaker 1: impact us every time they come. Then and I suppose
- 14:17Speaker 1: to Dad said, God wants us to pay attention. He
- 14:21Speaker 1: doesn't want us to pay off fines. He doesn't want
- 14:23Speaker 1: to pay for us in He doesn't want to know.
- 14:25Speaker 1: He wants us to pay attention to what he is doing.
- 14:30Speaker 1: But if anyone does not have the spirit of Christ,
- 14:34Speaker 1: this is the sad part. If you don't have the
- 14:36Speaker 1: spirit of Christ, he does not belong to him and
- 14:40Speaker 1: is not a child of God. Now what are we
- 14:43Speaker 1: doing here? I saw a debate with God logic and
- 14:47Speaker 1: which is Christian apologetius apologists and a man named Captain,
- 14:54Speaker 1: who I believe is a Israelite. Israelite side says Jesus
- 15:01Speaker 1: is not God. God logic say Jesus is God. The
- 15:06Speaker 1: Holy spirit was an issue, right, because if you don't
- 15:09Speaker 1: have Holy Spirit, then you don't have God. You're not
- 15:11Speaker 1: a child of God. Well, debate went on and went
- 15:16Speaker 1: on and went on, and I see that whoever had
- 15:19Speaker 1: Holy Spirit God functioning in them basically win the soul.
- 15:24Speaker 1: Not the argument all the time, but the soul will
- 15:27Speaker 1: be one. So whoever was in that crowd realizing that
- 15:30Speaker 1: without holy spirit we're not a child of God, they
- 15:33Speaker 1: should receive Jesus being God has no problem. Right. People
- 15:40Speaker 1: who have problems with Jesus not being God, there's evidence
- 15:44Speaker 1: right there that they are not empowered or filled with
- 15:47Speaker 1: Holy Spirit God. There's no motive that God is using.
- 15:55Speaker 1: He's not using manipulation, he's not using word play, he's
- 15:58Speaker 1: not using semantic none of that. Telling us plain, you
- 16:04Speaker 1: don't have Holy Spirit inside of you, living in you.
- 16:06Speaker 1: You don't have union with Christ. What are we doing?
- 16:09Speaker 1: What are we saying when we're trying to delete Holy Spirit,
- 16:12Speaker 1: trying to delete Jesus and go straight to the Father.
- 16:15Speaker 1: You're saying that then the word of God is not true.
- 16:18Speaker 1: You're saying the New Testament is not valid. You're saying
- 16:21Speaker 1: that we always have to live by the law, that
- 16:24Speaker 1: we have to go back to the tide and to
- 16:26Speaker 1: all these laws, and we have to delete the New Covenant.
- 16:30Speaker 1: And that's not gonna happen. God's word is God's word
- 16:34Speaker 1: from beginning to end. Some things on the New Covenant.
- 16:38Speaker 1: Because of Jesus, he said he fulfilled the law. So
- 16:42Speaker 1: therefore we're not bound by the old Covenant laws. We
- 16:45Speaker 1: have a new promise. We have a new Testament, a
- 16:48Speaker 1: new Covenant, a better covenant. Hebrew says, But I don't
- 16:53Speaker 1: want to go down that road. Let's talk about praying
- 16:55Speaker 1: in the spirit passionate I am about not being another
- 16:58Speaker 1: law of Man. We are free. We are free now
- 17:02Speaker 1: bound by the law any longer. And that's a God moved.
- 17:05Speaker 1: God set that up a man, not me. Praying in
- 17:09Speaker 1: the Spirit is about embracing your identity and union with Christ.
- 17:13Speaker 1: It means praying with the understanding that you are already
- 17:19Speaker 1: in perfect communication with God through the Holy Spirit who
- 17:26Speaker 1: dwells within you. Say that again for the people all
- 17:30Speaker 1: the way in the back, perfect communication with God through
- 17:35Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit who dwells within you. Romans chapter eight,
- 17:39Speaker 1: verse nine. We just read it. Lord, just help us
- 17:42Speaker 1: to understand what is plainly in your scripture, and Man,
- 17:47Speaker 1: we all have union with you. In the Book of Ephesians,
- 17:52Speaker 1: chapter six, verse eighteen encourages the word of God encourages
- 17:56Speaker 1: us to pray at all times in the spirit. This
- 17:59Speaker 1: is not unc in the scriptures. Pray at all times,
- 18:02Speaker 1: pray without ceasing. Pray in the spirit, which involves praying
- 18:06Speaker 1: with the confidence that we are heard and that our
- 18:10Speaker 1: prayers align with God's will. And what's God's will. God's
- 18:15Speaker 1: will is his word. That's not about using a special
- 18:20Speaker 1: language or a technique, but it's about recognizing our closeness
- 18:26Speaker 1: to God and our new spiritual reality. Once we were dead,
- 18:32Speaker 1: Now we're alive. Once we will blind, now we see.
- 18:35Speaker 1: Once we will bound to sin, Now we're free from sin.
- 18:38Speaker 1: Not that that it's not that we don't sin, because
- 18:42Speaker 1: every time I go down this lane, people say, are
- 18:44Speaker 1: you saying without sin? If you're saying without sin, the
- 18:46Speaker 1: Bible says that you are lying and you're not of God,
- 18:49Speaker 1: and that I'm not saying I don't sin. It's impossible
- 18:52Speaker 1: to say that I don't sin. I'm not God. But
- 18:55Speaker 1: the sinless one, the one who doesn't sin, lives within me.
- 18:58Speaker 1: Does that sound like blasphemy? It's Holy Spirit, God living
- 19:02Speaker 1: inside of us, the perfect One, the hope of glory,
- 19:04Speaker 1: the one who leads us into all truth, not into
- 19:07Speaker 1: all lives, the one who is active, the one who
- 19:10Speaker 1: we can embrace, the one who reminds us of the
- 19:13Speaker 1: word of God, the promises of God, reminds us that
- 19:15Speaker 1: we are free from the bondage of sin. Amen. But
- 19:18Speaker 1: we have a flesh, and the flesh, the Bible says,
- 19:21Speaker 1: is that war with the spirit. But the spirit is willing,
- 19:25Speaker 1: and the flesh is what weak. So against the Holy Spirit,
- 19:28Speaker 1: the flesh is really no competition. Man who controls the
- 19:34Speaker 1: flesh think about it. We could tell the flesh flat
- 19:38Speaker 1: out no and power about Holy Spirit. No, we ain't
- 19:41Speaker 1: doing that. We're not going there today. We're not going
- 19:45Speaker 1: to be about that life anymore. That's old. We don't
- 19:47Speaker 1: want that no more. Oh, I want the newness of God.
- 19:50Speaker 1: I want to know. It's about being confident in who
- 19:54Speaker 1: you are and identity in Christ. That's what it is.
- 19:59Speaker 1: We can see script an Ephesians chapter two, verse six,
- 20:02Speaker 1: if you want to cite a scripture Ephesians two and six.
- 20:05Speaker 1: Co Logis chapter three, verse three. Jude. There's only one
- 20:11Speaker 1: chapter in Jude. And man I wrote, I wrote, I
- 20:14Speaker 1: write books. I wrote two books, and they're real thin books.
- 20:17Speaker 1: Somebody that said, you don't, I don't consider this a
- 20:19Speaker 1: book is like a observation, is like a Bible study. Amen,
- 20:23Speaker 1: and said, why so there's not a lot of pages,
- 20:25Speaker 1: and you're charging for you know, something so small. I'll
- 20:28Speaker 1: be like, well, have you ever read the Book of Jude.
- 20:30Speaker 1: It's like really one page. It's a book. Amen. When
- 20:34Speaker 1: God calls something out, it is what he calls it.
- 20:38Speaker 1: So it's a little trivial to like try to argue
- 20:41Speaker 1: how many pages a book has to be when we
- 20:44Speaker 1: have scripture that's called the Book of Jude. It's only
- 20:48Speaker 1: one page, so we have to speak supernatural ways. We
- 20:53Speaker 1: have to understand supernaturally. We have to know what the
- 20:56Speaker 1: Word says and apply the word and whatever God speaks
- 20:59Speaker 1: to us. Amen, it's truth, and we'll speak it out.
- 21:02Speaker 1: And it's an amazing thing. By the frank morning, God,
- 21:04Speaker 1: bless you. Bless you in your family as well, my
- 21:07Speaker 1: friend and my brother. Is good to see. Jude Chapter one,
- 21:10Speaker 1: verse twenty also mentions building ourselves up and our will
- 21:14Speaker 1: most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, praying
- 21:21Speaker 1: in the Holy Spirit, praying in Christ, praying in God. Amen,
- 21:26Speaker 1: where everything's lined up. Those prayers are the most powerful
- 21:29Speaker 1: prayers that you could pray, that I could pray, that
- 21:31Speaker 1: you could pray, because it's aligned with the Word of God,
- 21:34Speaker 1: align with Holy Spirit, aligned with His divine nature. Incredible
- 21:39Speaker 1: praying the spirit. And you're going to see a difference
- 21:41Speaker 1: between praying and the Spirit and praying traditionally, or praying
- 21:45Speaker 1: prayers that I don't even lined up with the scriptures,
- 21:47Speaker 1: or just praying selfish prayers. Give me, give me, give me,
- 21:50Speaker 1: give me. And then you'll notice, Wait, a minute. I
- 21:52Speaker 1: don't even pray for nobody else but me, And that's
- 21:55Speaker 1: the selfish thing, selfish prayer. We need God knows we need.
- 22:00Speaker 1: So there's no problem with praying for what you want
- 22:03Speaker 1: or what you need. God already knows it. But make
- 22:06Speaker 1: sure you're praying with adoration, make sure you're confessing, make
- 22:10Speaker 1: sure you're giving him thanksgiving, and make sure you're praying supplication,
- 22:14Speaker 1: which is praying for other people. Amen. Adoration, confession, thanksgiving, supplication,
- 22:22Speaker 1: that's a great model of a way to pray. Make
- 22:24Speaker 1: sure you're letting God know we love him. Amen, and
- 22:27Speaker 1: confess that man I fell short here this week or
- 22:30Speaker 1: last week, and I did this, And who forgive you? Thanksgiving? Powerful.
- 22:34Speaker 1: The enemy hates when you walk around thankful, even if
- 22:37Speaker 1: you're having the worst day of your whole entire life,
- 22:40Speaker 1: we're still thanking God for what he has done in
- 22:42Speaker 1: your life. The enemy hates that you give him a headache,
- 22:45Speaker 1: and he doesn't want no parts and supplication praying for
- 22:48Speaker 1: other people. Praying for other needs is never as shortage
- 22:50Speaker 1: of prayer. But you pray in the spirit. You are
- 22:53Speaker 1: lined up with what God's heart is, what he wants
- 22:56Speaker 1: us to pray what he wants us to do, what
- 22:58Speaker 1: he wants us to say. Amen to that. Sam. It's
- 23:01Speaker 1: a book. It's a book, man, it's a book. But
- 23:07Speaker 1: the emphasis here is the assurance and boldness we have
- 23:12Speaker 1: in approaching God. The assurance God's not gonna turn me away.
- 23:17Speaker 1: God's gonna listen. Assurance like he loves us. We're his children,
- 23:21Speaker 1: He's our father, he loves us. He's not gonna turn
- 23:24Speaker 1: it away. Get away. I'm busy right now, or I'm
- 23:26Speaker 1: on the phone with the angels right now. I'll talk
- 23:28Speaker 1: to you later. Or you're gonna call on guys, gonna
- 23:30Speaker 1: say leave a message, I'll got back. No, that's not
- 23:32Speaker 1: the God that we serve. We're not serving an artificial
- 23:35Speaker 1: intelligence guy. We're serving an almighty right emperor, almighty God,
- 23:43Speaker 1: a God of heaven and earth, a God who hears
- 23:45Speaker 1: the prayers and the cries of all his children all
- 23:49Speaker 1: around the earth, all at once, and answers and respond
- 23:53Speaker 1: to each and every individual prayer. Only God could do that.
- 23:57Speaker 1: A man. He doesn't need a call in line, in
- 24:00Speaker 1: need of staff. He doesn't need people to pick up
- 24:03Speaker 1: phones for him. No, he hears the cries of his
- 24:06Speaker 1: people He's almighty, omnipresent, all knowing, omnipotent, all powerful. He's
- 24:12Speaker 1: out should die. He's Elion. He's God, Almighty. Amn. He's
- 24:17Speaker 1: the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. He's
- 24:20Speaker 1: the Worrying God. Amen. He is the Leader, is a
- 24:30Speaker 1: word of God's armies. He's the God of God's armies. Amen.
- 24:35Speaker 1: He runs things. He's amazing, He's awesome. And we are
- 24:39Speaker 1: in Christ. And we receive the message, the Gospel. We
- 24:43Speaker 1: receive salvation, we receive authority, power. He empowers us to
- 24:48Speaker 1: do what he calls us to do here on this
- 24:50Speaker 1: side of eternity. When we pray in the spirit, pray
- 24:54Speaker 1: in the spirit, it will do you well. Man, Learn
- 24:57Speaker 1: how to pray the way He wants us to pray,
- 24:59Speaker 1: and you will be blessed for it. We know that
- 25:04Speaker 1: we are his children and that He hears us. How
- 25:07Speaker 1: do I know? First John chapter number five. I'm just
- 25:11Speaker 1: quoting the scriptures. You could go to it when you
- 25:14Speaker 1: have time. First John chapter five, Versus fourteen and fifteen.
- 25:20Speaker 1: Praying in the spirit is a natural expression of our
- 25:24Speaker 1: relationship with God. Praying in the spirit, it should be
- 25:29Speaker 1: a natural expression for us for our relationship with God.
- 25:34Speaker 1: Rooted rooted not in religion, not in tradition, not in
- 25:37Speaker 1: church theology. It's rooted in the truth of our identity
- 25:42Speaker 1: as new creations in Christ, not old creation. We're new
- 25:45Speaker 1: creation in Christ. All through this week, I'm gonna try
- 25:50Speaker 1: to really get into this awareness of our union, confidence
- 25:55Speaker 1: and communication, alignment with God's will, praying in the spirit,
- 26:00Speaker 1: beautiful expression of our relationship with God. And I want
- 26:04Speaker 1: to really look at that this week. Lord willing, if
- 26:06Speaker 1: he allows me to have this week. Amen. So as
- 26:09Speaker 1: we're heading into Thanksgiving, God bless you all. Got to
- 26:12Speaker 1: keep you all and remember always that God is Good. Peace,
