  I found my freedom in you. I found a toy I can't lose, and
• 0:20
  thank God it's true. You wrapped your arms around me
• 0:24
  and heaven broke through. From the moment she found me.
• 0:29
  I found. Welcome to the Four Freedom
• 0:33
  Podcast. This podcast exists to bring the
• 0:37
  freedom of the gospel. For everyday Christians.
• 0:40
  With everyday issues now, here are your hosts, James Seyfried
• 0:45
  and Brett Mark. Welcome back to the Four Freedom
• 0:51
  podcast. We are glad to come to you this
• 0:54
  week. I know it's coming on a
• 0:55
  different day, but we felt that it would be appropriate to come
• 1:01
  on and talk today. Just encouraging you to pray for
• 1:07
  Nathan Brett. Nathan's just got back from a
• 1:11
  mission trip and his body's having some type of shut down
• 1:19
  and it's been been tough on the family.
• 1:22
  And I know Nathan has been on the podcast here a couple of
• 1:27
  times and we've always enjoyed him coming.
• 1:29
  He has actually one of the top listened episodes on our podcast
• 1:35
  and so he's a dear friend to us. How?
• 1:37
  How are you doing and what are you thinking of?
• 1:43
  Let me say that we are just devastated with this news about
• 1:49
  Nathan. Nathan has been such an
• 1:53
  influence in my life, in my ministry.
• 1:58
  He's been such a friend. He's one of those guys that, you
• 2:03
  know, you can call him at any time, he'll call you back.
• 2:06
  You can text him at any time, He'll text you back.
• 2:10
  Nathan is just a good, good friend and we hate that he's
• 2:14
  having to go through this and his family.
• 2:17
  We just feel for his family. I just, there aren't many words
• 2:22
  that you can say other than is he's just a great guy.
• 2:26
  We love him to death and we want to wish, we want to pray that
• 2:31
  that the Lord would work a miracle.
• 2:35
  Right now he's in the hospital fighting for his life and we
• 2:41
  just want to send him all the prayers that we can and bring
• 2:47
  him before the sovereign God of heaven.
• 2:50
  And you know, this is the Lord's decision, but man, we just want
• 2:54
  to give him a fighting chance by bringing him to the throne of
• 2:56
  glory. Absolutely, I agree with you.
• 2:59
  And we're definitely praying for Carrie and his kids and his
• 3:04
  church and the church members that are there that are going
• 3:08
  through all this. And what I want to do, Brett, is
• 3:11
  just have a prayer. If you want to give JC, set up a
• 3:15
  GoFundMe and we're going to put that in our show notes so you
• 3:18
  can give. But we, we're challenging you
• 3:21
  right now during this time, go before the throne, pray for the
• 3:26
  intercessory, prayer for Nathan and his family, and just lift
• 3:31
  that family up during this time and pray for Nathan's body.
• 3:35
  And so Brad, I'm going to pray for us and we'll shut the
• 3:38
  showdown. Lord, we come and thank you for
• 3:40
  this day. God, you are a holy God.
• 3:44
  You are a righteous God. And we, we were in those moments
• 3:49
  where I've been weeping all day, been just in tears, just not
• 3:55
  knowing what's going on. And I'm reminded of of Mary and
• 4:01
  Martha when they came to Jesus and they said, why, Lord, did
• 4:05
  you not come sooner? Lord, why?
• 4:07
  And it was, it was Jesus welcomed those questions.
• 4:12
  And so God, I pray that you would answer our prayer that we
• 4:16
  come before you today asking for a healing of Nathan's body.
• 4:21
  We ask you for peace for his family.
• 4:24
  We ask you for comfort for his family during this time.
• 4:27
  And Lord, I pray for his church as well.
• 4:29
  Hope Church in Nashville, Lord, as they are going through this
• 4:32
  time with their pastor struggling, their pastor in the
• 4:36
  hospital or that you would just give them strength.
• 4:40
  Lord, give Nathan's body healing.
• 4:43
  And above all, Lord, we give you the glory for whatever is going
• 4:46
  to happen. We love you, Lord, in your name
• 4:48
  we pray. Amen.
• 4:51
  Their grace is heavenly. Father, Lord, we thank you so
• 4:54
  much for today. Will we come boldly before the
• 4:57
  throne of grace? Today we lift up our friend
• 5:00
  Nathan Cravat. Lord, we pray that you would
• 5:03
  bless him will. We pray that you would touch
• 5:05
  him, Lord. He is in the hospital, Lord, and
• 5:07
  he, he's just not doing good. But it didn't surprise you,
• 5:11
  Lord. It was in your will.
• 5:12
  Or what we're asking you today is we're asking you that you
• 5:16
  would heal him. We're asking right now that his
• 5:19
  body would begin to accept the medication, that he would
• 5:22
  respond, Lord, well, we beg you for this, Lord, if it be
• 5:26
  possible. Lord, let this cut pass from
• 5:28
  him, Lord And Lord, let him come back to his family, come back to
• 5:33
  his church. Lord, Well, we pray for the
• 5:36
  doctors, we pray for the nurses, Lord, we pray for all the
• 5:39
  medical professionals that are with him.
• 5:41
  But Lord, we understand that while doctors are are good and
• 5:45
  nurses are good and hospitals are good, Lord, our faith isn't
• 5:49
  in any of those things. Our faith is in Jesus and Jesus
• 5:54
  alone. You sit on the sovereign throne
• 5:56
  of heaven. Lord, this is your call.
• 5:59
  And Lord, we lay it at your feet.
• 6:01
  We're coming boldly to you. We lift this man up.
• 6:04
  We lift up this preacher, Lord. We lift up this Father, this
• 6:07
  husband, Lord, and we ask you to intervene.
• 6:10
  We ask you for something supernatural.
• 6:12
  We ask you to do something that only the God of heaven can do,
• 6:16
  Lord. And if you do that, Lord, we'll
• 6:18
  give you all the glory and honor for it.
• 6:21
  Lord, at the at the end of the day, your will be done.
• 6:24
  But Lord, we ask this of you. Thank you so much for Nathan.
• 6:28
  Thank you for all that he's done, for all that he means to
• 6:30
  each and every one of us. And Lord, we just pray that you
• 6:34
  would just be with him, be with his family, supernaturally heal
• 6:38
  him in a special way in Jesus Christ precious name, I pray,
• 6:42
  Amen. Amen.
• 6:44
  If you can pray with us family, if you will pray for this
• 6:49
  family, and if you will, if you can give, I know that's the way
• 6:52
  we can help as well. And so we pray that you would do
• 6:56
  that and lift this family up in the coming days.
• 6:59
  Until next time, to God be the glory.
• 7:01
  Amen. Found my new name, Found that
• 7:08
  good grace, Found that healing. And the tears fell down my face
• 7:14
  when I found my beginning that has no ending.
• 7:16
  Found that second chance. Found my best friend.
• 7:18
  Found my forgiveness. Found my happiness.
• 7:20
  I've been singing ever since I found my freedom.
