<v Speaker 1>Minutes to your Word.

11
00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:44.520
<v Speaker 2>High Church, Welcome to our three pm service here in

12
00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:47.759
<v Speaker 2>Victory Green Hills. You know, before we get into what

13
00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:50.719
<v Speaker 2>I will preach today, I just realized this that we

14
00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:55.079
<v Speaker 2>are in a time of great crisis. I know that

15
00:00:55.119 --> 00:00:58.359
<v Speaker 2>the quarantine has been extended. Whenever we look at the data,

16
00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:02.079
<v Speaker 2>especially around four o'clock in the afternoon, we see the

17
00:01:02.200 --> 00:01:05.959
<v Speaker 2>updates on the numbers, and lately it's been very encouraging

18
00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:08.879
<v Speaker 2>because the recoveries are higher. But at the same time

19
00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:11.799
<v Speaker 2>we actually look at it in a total picture and

20
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:15.480
<v Speaker 2>we see is their progress happening. Some of you, my

21
00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:18.560
<v Speaker 2>brothers and sisters, might feel like this is the biggest

22
00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:21.760
<v Speaker 2>trial that we are facing as a nation. I believe

23
00:01:21.799 --> 00:01:25.079
<v Speaker 2>that's true, but it's only.

24
00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:26.359
<v Speaker 1>In our generation.

25
00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:28.799
<v Speaker 2>If we look at history, we can see a lot

26
00:01:28.840 --> 00:01:32.079
<v Speaker 2>of things happen and it might have been worse for them.

27
00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:35.599
<v Speaker 2>And that's why, for some reason, we can actually appreciate

28
00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:39.879
<v Speaker 2>medical advancements because we are now a little bit more

29
00:01:39.959 --> 00:01:43.879
<v Speaker 2>ready than the epidemic that we experienced in nineteen eighteen.

30
00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:47.359
<v Speaker 2>I haven't been born yet that time, maybe some of

31
00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:50.879
<v Speaker 2>you were. But at the same time, we know this

32
00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:54.480
<v Speaker 2>that we should learn from our past and our history.

33
00:01:54.519 --> 00:01:57.599
<v Speaker 2>Why am I sharing this fact to you? You know,

34
00:01:58.439 --> 00:02:02.400
<v Speaker 2>us as people of God, also cherish the Book of God,

35
00:02:02.439 --> 00:02:05.480
<v Speaker 2>the Word of God, as part of our history.

36
00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:07.239
<v Speaker 1>You know, the Bible.

37
00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:11.599
<v Speaker 2>Has so many stories of how God has intervened and

38
00:02:11.639 --> 00:02:14.680
<v Speaker 2>how God has spoken to his people time and time

39
00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:17.240
<v Speaker 2>again when people need crisis.

40
00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:18.840
<v Speaker 1>And today I want.

41
00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:22.520
<v Speaker 2>To share a word of God found in the Book

42
00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:25.400
<v Speaker 2>of Chronicles, in the second Book of Chronicles.

43
00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:27.639
<v Speaker 1>You know, the Book of Chronicles.

44
00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:31.879
<v Speaker 2>Are stories of kings of the past, kings appointed and

45
00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:37.120
<v Speaker 2>anointed by the Lord, and we get to learn from

46
00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:40.919
<v Speaker 2>how they have encounter challenges in their lives and how

47
00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:44.159
<v Speaker 2>God has intervened as well. And I hope and pray

48
00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:47.000
<v Speaker 2>that we will all get encouraged as we go through

49
00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:51.159
<v Speaker 2>one passage of scripture, which is found in Second Chronicles,

50
00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:56.159
<v Speaker 2>chapter seven. Chapter seven is the time where King Solomon,

51
00:02:56.319 --> 00:03:01.080
<v Speaker 2>considered as the wisest king of all, was tasked by

52
00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:05.199
<v Speaker 2>God and by his father David to build the House

53
00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:09.520
<v Speaker 2>of the Lord in Jerusalem. And it was a grand project.

54
00:03:09.639 --> 00:03:12.719
<v Speaker 2>He was able to build it. And now as he

55
00:03:12.759 --> 00:03:16.960
<v Speaker 2>has built it, he has invited all the people of Israel, people.

56
00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:18.400
<v Speaker 1>Of God, to worship God.

57
00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:23.520
<v Speaker 2>As he prayed and dedicated this new House of the Lord.

58
00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:28.439
<v Speaker 2>What happens the glory of the Lord fills this temple.

59
00:03:28.520 --> 00:03:30.840
<v Speaker 2>The art of the Covenant is now placed in its

60
00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:36.319
<v Speaker 2>rightful home. And what happens as they worship God, God

61
00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:40.840
<v Speaker 2>has revealed himself through fire mehrumpum dumatna fire.

62
00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:44.319
<v Speaker 1>And it is a symbol of the faithfulness.

63
00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:46.080
<v Speaker 2>In God, in the presence of God in the lives

64
00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:48.639
<v Speaker 2>of the people and in that temple.

65
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:51.759
<v Speaker 1>And so as the presence.

66
00:03:51.319 --> 00:03:54.919
<v Speaker 2>Of the Lord filled this new temple, this new house,

67
00:03:55.319 --> 00:03:56.039
<v Speaker 2>they begin.

68
00:03:55.919 --> 00:03:58.319
<v Speaker 1>To worship God. And for seven.

69
00:03:58.039 --> 00:04:02.719
<v Speaker 2>Straight days they did sacrifices. They thank Him, they were

70
00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:05.879
<v Speaker 2>praising him. The gratefulness of the God that we serve

71
00:04:05.919 --> 00:04:09.439
<v Speaker 2>in God that we have, and on the eighth day Solomon,

72
00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:12.120
<v Speaker 2>King Solomon now allows them we in Hayo.

73
00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:13.000
<v Speaker 1>It is done.

74
00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:16.040
<v Speaker 2>Soon after that, the Bible says, and where we are,

75
00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:22.480
<v Speaker 2>the Lord appears through in Solomon at night, and he

76
00:04:22.519 --> 00:04:26.680
<v Speaker 2>speaks to him, and he gives him some tips or

77
00:04:26.720 --> 00:04:31.000
<v Speaker 2>some instructions that he will have to tell the people

78
00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:34.160
<v Speaker 2>of God. And we find that in verse fourteen, and

79
00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:37.120
<v Speaker 2>it says here, if you have your bibles, please open

80
00:04:37.160 --> 00:04:41.839
<v Speaker 2>it to Second Chronicles, chapter seven, verse fourteen, and I

81
00:04:41.879 --> 00:04:44.519
<v Speaker 2>want us to read it together. But if you don't

82
00:04:44.519 --> 00:04:46.959
<v Speaker 2>have your bibles with you today, we will flash this

83
00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:50.199
<v Speaker 2>verse on the screen. And I hope that we get

84
00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:53.439
<v Speaker 2>to give reverence to the Word of God. Doesn't matter

85
00:04:53.480 --> 00:04:56.439
<v Speaker 2>if you're at home. We can still worship and give

86
00:04:56.519 --> 00:04:59.279
<v Speaker 2>reverence to the Word of God today. And so if

87
00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:03.360
<v Speaker 2>you're there, you can read meet Me. Verse fourteen. It says,

88
00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:07.680
<v Speaker 2>if my people who are called by my name humble

89
00:05:07.759 --> 00:05:12.160
<v Speaker 2>themselves and pray and seek my face, and turn from

90
00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:16.639
<v Speaker 2>their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven. I

91
00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:21.560
<v Speaker 2>will forgive their sins and heal their land. This is

92
00:05:21.720 --> 00:05:26.519
<v Speaker 2>our word for today. It starts with this. It says,

93
00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:30.759
<v Speaker 2>if my people who are called by my name? What

94
00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:33.600
<v Speaker 2>does that mean? In the net version it says if

95
00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:37.399
<v Speaker 2>my people who belong to me. The message version also

96
00:05:37.399 --> 00:05:41.319
<v Speaker 2>says my people my God define people. A good question

97
00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:45.120
<v Speaker 2>to usk today is do we consider ourselves as people

98
00:05:45.319 --> 00:05:48.639
<v Speaker 2>of God in our lives today? Do we consider and

99
00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:51.160
<v Speaker 2>say that I am a follower of God, that I

100
00:05:51.399 --> 00:05:54.639
<v Speaker 2>follow the ways of the Lord. This is the time

101
00:05:54.720 --> 00:05:58.279
<v Speaker 2>where we can reflect, Am I really a true believer?

102
00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:01.879
<v Speaker 2>Do I walk in the world ways of my God?

103
00:06:02.199 --> 00:06:05.519
<v Speaker 2>And so I believe that If your answer is.

104
00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:08.839
<v Speaker 1>Yes, this message is for all of us.

105
00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:12.560
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't give us qualifications of which kind of profession

106
00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:15.800
<v Speaker 2>that are followers of God. It just says it is

107
00:06:16.120 --> 00:06:19.839
<v Speaker 2>for God's people, and this is God's word for all

108
00:06:19.879 --> 00:06:23.720
<v Speaker 2>of us today. It says for my people to first

109
00:06:24.399 --> 00:06:30.199
<v Speaker 2>humble themselves. We need to humble ourselves. Why because we

110
00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:33.000
<v Speaker 2>can actually be doing things for the Lord with the

111
00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:36.120
<v Speaker 2>wrong heart. We can be actually doing things for God

112
00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:39.279
<v Speaker 2>with the wrong posture. Sometimes we can say, Lord, I

113
00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:40.920
<v Speaker 2>will do this and do that, so you have to

114
00:06:40.959 --> 00:06:44.720
<v Speaker 2>do this for me. Parent may return partan meron exchange

115
00:06:44.839 --> 00:06:48.040
<v Speaker 2>between our prayers with God and how he will answer.

116
00:06:48.120 --> 00:06:48.360
<v Speaker 1>Lord.

117
00:06:48.360 --> 00:06:52.000
<v Speaker 2>If I donate keelanan beginale, you will give me.

118
00:06:52.120 --> 00:06:52.759
<v Speaker 1>And bless me.

119
00:06:53.639 --> 00:06:59.519
<v Speaker 2>God starts by calling all his people to humble ourselves.

120
00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:01.920
<v Speaker 2>And so my first point that I want to share

121
00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:06.959
<v Speaker 2>with you out of the instructions of God to Solomon

122
00:07:07.079 --> 00:07:12.199
<v Speaker 2>and to the people, he starts with our posture. God

123
00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:18.680
<v Speaker 2>calls us his servants to humble ourselves. God starts with

124
00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:21.720
<v Speaker 2>this kind of instruction because it's also a heart check.

125
00:07:22.399 --> 00:07:23.759
<v Speaker 1>How are we today?

126
00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:28.120
<v Speaker 2>How are we dealing with this time of being at home?

127
00:07:28.439 --> 00:07:32.680
<v Speaker 2>Are we self sufficient people or are we God dependent people?

128
00:07:32.959 --> 00:07:35.439
<v Speaker 2>You know, the world we live in talks about a

129
00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:38.920
<v Speaker 2>lot about being self made people.

130
00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:40.160
<v Speaker 1>Self sufficient.

131
00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:43.839
<v Speaker 2>I can do things on my own, I can shop online,

132
00:07:43.879 --> 00:07:47.199
<v Speaker 2>I don't need help from anyone. But the reality is,

133
00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:51.160
<v Speaker 2>brothers and sisters, I hope you know this, that we

134
00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:56.639
<v Speaker 2>cannot do anything apart from the grace of God. It's

135
00:07:56.800 --> 00:08:01.560
<v Speaker 2>difficult to live our lives as believers without being dependent

136
00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:06.000
<v Speaker 2>to God. What is the posture of our hearts today?

137
00:08:06.600 --> 00:08:09.399
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes we also have this mindset that when when we

138
00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:12.240
<v Speaker 2>say we go to God or as people of God,

139
00:08:12.279 --> 00:08:14.120
<v Speaker 2>we feel like we are.

140
00:08:14.199 --> 00:08:15.240
<v Speaker 1>The privileged ones.

141
00:08:15.439 --> 00:08:18.839
<v Speaker 2>Our Lord Yamhan and jan kaias he lenox A suffer

142
00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:23.360
<v Speaker 2>chas leasa it because they don't have you. That is

143
00:08:23.439 --> 00:08:27.160
<v Speaker 2>not the right posture. Why, because we are representations of

144
00:08:27.240 --> 00:08:30.720
<v Speaker 2>the Lord, and so not only do we see ourselves.

145
00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:33.679
<v Speaker 2>The Word of God reflects where we are and what

146
00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:35.480
<v Speaker 2>we are going through. But the Word of God also

147
00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:39.080
<v Speaker 2>reflects how we should look at the people around us.

148
00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:41.960
<v Speaker 2>And that's what we're going to talk about more later

149
00:08:42.120 --> 00:08:45.360
<v Speaker 2>as we progress with the Word of God today. And

150
00:08:45.399 --> 00:08:48.639
<v Speaker 2>so it starts with the humble heart, It starts with

151
00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:53.320
<v Speaker 2>knowing that we are fully dependent on God. To humble

152
00:08:53.360 --> 00:08:56.000
<v Speaker 2>ourselves is to say, Lord, you are the king.

153
00:08:56.440 --> 00:08:58.080
<v Speaker 1>And I will follow you.

154
00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:01.600
<v Speaker 2>This is the kind of life that God wants for us,

155
00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:05.559
<v Speaker 2>that kingdom living that when Jesus came, he was saying

156
00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:09.279
<v Speaker 2>repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand. We

157
00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:14.480
<v Speaker 2>live in this kind of kingdom today. So my challenge

158
00:09:14.600 --> 00:09:19.320
<v Speaker 2>is as we write down what we learned from the

159
00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:21.279
<v Speaker 2>Word today, the first thing that I want you to

160
00:09:21.279 --> 00:09:25.360
<v Speaker 2>write down is this, we are called to humble ourselves.

161
00:09:25.879 --> 00:09:26.840
<v Speaker 1>It creates that.

162
00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:31.279
<v Speaker 2>Right posture, that right image that God is our God

163
00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:34.919
<v Speaker 2>and we are here his servants, ready to serve him.

164
00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:38.919
<v Speaker 2>I found this quote online and it says a posture

165
00:09:39.080 --> 00:09:43.639
<v Speaker 2>of humility brings God's presence to my problem. You have

166
00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:46.320
<v Speaker 2>to realize sometimes when we pray to God when our

167
00:09:46.360 --> 00:09:49.679
<v Speaker 2>hearts are not right par for me, No, I was

168
00:09:49.720 --> 00:09:50.559
<v Speaker 2>reflecting upon it.

169
00:09:50.600 --> 00:10:00.600
<v Speaker 1>Parents the Lord break humility makes.

170
00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:03.840
<v Speaker 2>Us go down to our knees and say, Lord, I

171
00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:05.039
<v Speaker 2>need you.

172
00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:06.519
<v Speaker 1>You know, I hope you realize this.

173
00:10:06.720 --> 00:10:12.679
<v Speaker 2>Today people are breaking down and going down on their

174
00:10:12.759 --> 00:10:15.919
<v Speaker 2>knees and saying, Lord, I need you. This is the

175
00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:19.360
<v Speaker 2>time where the people of God are being prepared by

176
00:10:19.639 --> 00:10:23.159
<v Speaker 2>the situation. And so if there's one thing that this

177
00:10:23.279 --> 00:10:28.600
<v Speaker 2>situation has given us, all of us, people who worship Jesus,

178
00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:34.080
<v Speaker 2>people who don't know him, everyone today is realizing that

179
00:10:34.120 --> 00:10:36.600
<v Speaker 2>they need someone to save them.

180
00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:40.279
<v Speaker 1>It starts with our humility to him. C. S.

181
00:10:40.360 --> 00:10:44.559
<v Speaker 2>Lewis said, this true humility is not thinking less of yourself.

182
00:10:45.440 --> 00:10:49.679
<v Speaker 2>It is thinking of yourself. Less gets you by ob

183
00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:56.360
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes you say humility is not o Lord, But humility

184
00:10:56.440 --> 00:10:59.559
<v Speaker 2>is actually thinking of others. That the life that we

185
00:10:59.639 --> 00:11:02.039
<v Speaker 2>live is not just about what we need. The life

186
00:11:02.039 --> 00:11:05.639
<v Speaker 2>that we live is not just about our concerns that

187
00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:09.679
<v Speaker 2>it's thinking about other things, and it is thinking about

188
00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:11.600
<v Speaker 2>how God sees others.

189
00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:12.919
<v Speaker 1>Being a blessing to others.

190
00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:16.639
<v Speaker 2>So this is my challenge as we progress and know

191
00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:19.840
<v Speaker 2>the instructions of the Lord, have a heart check today.

192
00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:23.799
<v Speaker 2>Am I moving in humility? Or am I moving in pride?

193
00:11:24.879 --> 00:11:28.399
<v Speaker 2>Christians are not self centered people. We are called to

194
00:11:28.440 --> 00:11:31.159
<v Speaker 2>be ambassadors of the people around us. We are called

195
00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:35.039
<v Speaker 2>to actually be the thought and light, the hands and

196
00:11:35.159 --> 00:11:38.600
<v Speaker 2>feet of Jesus to this world. So God says, it

197
00:11:38.759 --> 00:11:42.240
<v Speaker 2>starts with the right attitude. It's the right attitude in

198
00:11:42.279 --> 00:11:48.879
<v Speaker 2>our minds. As we continue, it says, as we humble ourselves,

199
00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:54.159
<v Speaker 2>God says, we need to pray. Our first thing that

200
00:11:54.200 --> 00:11:57.039
<v Speaker 2>we need to do is pray. We have been praying

201
00:11:57.120 --> 00:12:00.960
<v Speaker 2>for all our personal needs day. Hey Lord, I need

202
00:12:00.960 --> 00:12:04.279
<v Speaker 2>this and that's good. But at the same time, I

203
00:12:04.360 --> 00:12:07.440
<v Speaker 2>hope you know that prayer is not only made for

204
00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:12.759
<v Speaker 2>us and our benefit. We are called to pray for others.

205
00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:17.639
<v Speaker 2>The word pray in Hebrew is palal, which means to intervene.

206
00:12:18.039 --> 00:12:23.120
<v Speaker 2>It's getting personally involved when you pray for someone else.

207
00:12:23.200 --> 00:12:25.080
<v Speaker 2>Are you personally involved?

208
00:12:25.600 --> 00:12:25.799
<v Speaker 1>You know?

209
00:12:25.919 --> 00:12:33.799
<v Speaker 2>Lately I've been receiving Facebook messages, text, Viber messages, even

210
00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:38.919
<v Speaker 2>through Instagram, private messages of people asking for prayers. People

211
00:12:38.960 --> 00:12:43.320
<v Speaker 2>have lost their jobs, people who are sick infected by

212
00:12:43.320 --> 00:12:48.440
<v Speaker 2>this virus, people who don't have the means to buy supplies,

213
00:12:49.159 --> 00:12:52.039
<v Speaker 2>people who don't know what to do because their families

214
00:12:52.120 --> 00:12:55.960
<v Speaker 2>need help and they can't go out. My question is

215
00:12:56.360 --> 00:13:00.000
<v Speaker 2>when we pray for people in need, are we person

216
00:13:00.039 --> 00:13:04.120
<v Speaker 2>suddenly involved? Does it consume us? Or is it just

217
00:13:04.279 --> 00:13:05.480
<v Speaker 2>a prayer in passing?

218
00:13:06.080 --> 00:13:09.480
<v Speaker 1>Lords, Lord, they need something and Jesus name Amen, and

219
00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:12.720
<v Speaker 1>then we go through our life. Is our prayers in

220
00:13:12.879 --> 00:13:14.919
<v Speaker 1>passing or in passion?

221
00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:20.799
<v Speaker 2>Are we are we crying out to God for the

222
00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:24.399
<v Speaker 2>concerns of the people around us? Had I had my

223
00:13:24.519 --> 00:13:26.600
<v Speaker 2>Victory group this week and we were also talking about

224
00:13:26.679 --> 00:13:31.440
<v Speaker 2>prayer and as we use that jump start that we

225
00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:38.440
<v Speaker 2>had last Monday by Pastor Dennis through our Facebook channel

226
00:13:38.720 --> 00:13:45.159
<v Speaker 2>or in Facebook page, we actually talked about prayer and

227
00:13:45.200 --> 00:13:47.759
<v Speaker 2>for some reason, God impressed to me and to the

228
00:13:47.840 --> 00:13:50.960
<v Speaker 2>group that I was discussing this to that when we

229
00:13:51.080 --> 00:13:53.879
<v Speaker 2>pray to God, we actually.

230
00:13:53.720 --> 00:13:56.000
<v Speaker 1>Are interceding for others.

231
00:13:56.320 --> 00:14:00.320
<v Speaker 2>We're actually saying, as children of God, a Nato and Lord,

232
00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:03.480
<v Speaker 2>and so as children of God, what we're doing for

233
00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:13.600
<v Speaker 2>others is we are interceding that Please grant them their

234
00:14:13.639 --> 00:14:17.919
<v Speaker 2>prayer and that's why now I realize that whenever people

235
00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:25.559
<v Speaker 2>say but pak before I said, but, the reality.

236
00:14:25.159 --> 00:14:27.799
<v Speaker 1>Is as people of God, malas.

237
00:14:27.480 --> 00:14:32.519
<v Speaker 2>Take Lord because we are not only his uh service.

238
00:14:32.159 --> 00:14:35.279
<v Speaker 1>We are children of God. He loves us so much.

239
00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:38.120
<v Speaker 2>What does that mean we can actually go to him

240
00:14:38.120 --> 00:14:42.039
<v Speaker 2>and see, Father, I need you to inter I'm interceding

241
00:14:42.200 --> 00:14:46.240
<v Speaker 2>for my friend. He'll his mom provide for his family.

242
00:14:47.360 --> 00:14:51.519
<v Speaker 2>This is getting involved through prayer. It cond shows us,

243
00:14:51.559 --> 00:14:55.200
<v Speaker 2>It affects us, time for follow up answering.

244
00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:57.039
<v Speaker 1>Band the Lord in prayer, going deep, I will pray more.

245
00:14:58.960 --> 00:15:01.039
<v Speaker 2>You know, this is the life that God has called

246
00:15:01.120 --> 00:15:04.879
<v Speaker 2>us too. That we are called to pray for others.

247
00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:08.320
<v Speaker 2>We're called to pray for this land, our country. We're

248
00:15:08.360 --> 00:15:11.799
<v Speaker 2>called to pray for the people globally. We have our

249
00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:16.720
<v Speaker 2>friends who have relatives abroad. Our prayers are not bound

250
00:15:17.200 --> 00:15:17.919
<v Speaker 2>in the four.

251
00:15:17.679 --> 00:15:18.759
<v Speaker 1>Walls of our houses.

252
00:15:19.200 --> 00:15:22.759
<v Speaker 2>It reaches wherever we declare it to reach. When we

253
00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:26.039
<v Speaker 2>are praying for people in Italy, it will reach them

254
00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:28.879
<v Speaker 2>in the name of Jesus. Why because whenever we pray,

255
00:15:29.399 --> 00:15:33.600
<v Speaker 2>God works, and so this is the calling that God

256
00:15:33.720 --> 00:15:34.879
<v Speaker 2>has given us.

257
00:15:34.919 --> 00:15:35.279
<v Speaker 1>Today.

258
00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:39.960
<v Speaker 2>I like what Pastor Jay of our church in China

259
00:15:40.039 --> 00:15:45.519
<v Speaker 2>said during Jumpstart. He said, the policemen are called to

260
00:15:45.679 --> 00:15:50.240
<v Speaker 2>enforce the law, the government are called to organize the people.

261
00:15:50.600 --> 00:15:51.759
<v Speaker 1>The businessmen are.

262
00:15:51.639 --> 00:15:55.759
<v Speaker 2>Called to actually bless during this time of crisis. But

263
00:15:55.960 --> 00:15:59.840
<v Speaker 2>as Christians, as followers of Jesus, as people of God,

264
00:16:00.399 --> 00:16:04.759
<v Speaker 2>what is our calling and it is to pray. It's

265
00:16:04.840 --> 00:16:08.080
<v Speaker 2>to pray for one another. This is what God has

266
00:16:08.080 --> 00:16:11.279
<v Speaker 2>called us to do. And we can do that any

267
00:16:11.480 --> 00:16:15.480
<v Speaker 2>time of day. We can do that starting today. It's

268
00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:18.279
<v Speaker 2>not something that when we are just prompted to and

269
00:16:18.320 --> 00:16:20.759
<v Speaker 2>when we ask you to pray, you can do it.

270
00:16:21.200 --> 00:16:22.799
<v Speaker 2>You can do it on your own. And we're going

271
00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:26.600
<v Speaker 2>to talk about that how to do that later. Towards

272
00:16:26.600 --> 00:16:31.759
<v Speaker 2>the end of this preaching, Pastor Jay also said, as

273
00:16:31.960 --> 00:16:34.399
<v Speaker 2>people are called to do this, as front liners are

274
00:16:34.440 --> 00:16:37.360
<v Speaker 2>called to battle the virus, they devote time. And this

275
00:16:37.399 --> 00:16:40.159
<v Speaker 2>is what we realize in my victory group new Police

276
00:16:40.200 --> 00:16:42.480
<v Speaker 2>when they go on duty hearings and when I believe

277
00:16:42.519 --> 00:16:46.000
<v Speaker 2>it's twelve hours straight in the Babantai en Indienda Revelax.

278
00:16:46.279 --> 00:16:49.720
<v Speaker 2>When the businessmen I'm sure decided to donate. I'm sure

279
00:16:49.720 --> 00:16:53.000
<v Speaker 2>they had a zoom board meeting they discussed it. How

280
00:16:53.080 --> 00:16:55.840
<v Speaker 2>much will we donate, and so they put in time,

281
00:16:56.240 --> 00:16:59.360
<v Speaker 2>They put in effort in their calling, in what they're

282
00:16:59.399 --> 00:17:02.960
<v Speaker 2>called to do as people of God. How do we pray?

283
00:17:03.600 --> 00:17:06.599
<v Speaker 2>Do we put in time? Or is a ten second

284
00:17:06.680 --> 00:17:10.960
<v Speaker 2>prayer per day enough. We're called to pray for the government,

285
00:17:11.160 --> 00:17:14.279
<v Speaker 2>our president. We're called to pray for the Senate for unity.

286
00:17:14.279 --> 00:17:17.279
<v Speaker 2>We're called to pray for our local government, our mayors,

287
00:17:17.599 --> 00:17:20.720
<v Speaker 2>our barangday captains who are also front liners, We're called

288
00:17:20.759 --> 00:17:24.400
<v Speaker 2>to pray for them. How much time do we devote

289
00:17:24.440 --> 00:17:27.799
<v Speaker 2>in prayer in twenty four hours that we have in

290
00:17:27.839 --> 00:17:28.200
<v Speaker 2>a day.

291
00:17:28.720 --> 00:17:30.640
<v Speaker 1>How much time do we pray?

292
00:17:31.960 --> 00:17:35.799
<v Speaker 2>Is it more of just quick prayers? I mean if

293
00:17:35.799 --> 00:17:39.640
<v Speaker 2>a pray or are we actually devoting time to pray?

294
00:17:40.000 --> 00:17:40.960
<v Speaker 2>This is our calling?

295
00:17:41.160 --> 00:17:41.400
<v Speaker 1>Church?

296
00:17:42.559 --> 00:17:46.519
<v Speaker 2>If you are besides someone's again signia, God called you

297
00:17:47.119 --> 00:17:50.400
<v Speaker 2>to pray, this is your calling. And I hope you

298
00:17:50.440 --> 00:17:54.880
<v Speaker 2>guys are excited for this kind of calling because it's not.

299
00:17:55.640 --> 00:18:00.480
<v Speaker 2>It's not because of eloquence that you are atomic pray

300
00:18:00.559 --> 00:18:05.559
<v Speaker 2>to lain. Everyone can pray, no matter how simple or

301
00:18:05.599 --> 00:18:10.359
<v Speaker 2>how deep your vocabulary is. We all are called to pray.

302
00:18:10.880 --> 00:18:13.759
<v Speaker 2>So what kind of prayers do you give today? Is

303
00:18:13.759 --> 00:18:16.799
<v Speaker 2>it an in passing prayer or is it a passion

304
00:18:16.839 --> 00:18:21.359
<v Speaker 2>prayer where you are consumed, where you put yourself in

305
00:18:21.480 --> 00:18:25.599
<v Speaker 2>the situation of our brothers and sisters as they go

306
00:18:25.680 --> 00:18:27.359
<v Speaker 2>through childs Today.

307
00:18:29.000 --> 00:18:30.519
<v Speaker 1>I got reminded just now.

308
00:18:31.440 --> 00:18:35.039
<v Speaker 2>Is the level of your prayer the same when you

309
00:18:35.200 --> 00:18:39.839
<v Speaker 2>need something badly from God and when you are interceding

310
00:18:40.079 --> 00:18:42.720
<v Speaker 2>for someone else karaka passionate?

311
00:18:43.119 --> 00:18:44.480
<v Speaker 1>Does it also bring.

312
00:18:44.279 --> 00:18:47.839
<v Speaker 2>You down on your knees when you need something or

313
00:18:47.880 --> 00:18:50.200
<v Speaker 2>when you are interceding for others?

314
00:18:50.759 --> 00:18:51.599
<v Speaker 1>What's next?

315
00:18:51.920 --> 00:18:54.559
<v Speaker 2>The Bible says, or the word that we are discussing,

316
00:18:54.559 --> 00:18:56.359
<v Speaker 2>it says, pray.

317
00:18:56.400 --> 00:19:01.000
<v Speaker 1>And then seek My face to seek. What does that mean?

318
00:19:01.240 --> 00:19:05.000
<v Speaker 2>We see this all throughout the Psalms, all throughout the Bible,

319
00:19:05.079 --> 00:19:07.559
<v Speaker 2>that we seek the presence of God, we seek His

320
00:19:07.680 --> 00:19:14.640
<v Speaker 2>face today, that we fall short sometimes like Parentio, every

321
00:19:14.720 --> 00:19:16.680
<v Speaker 2>time we do something against God.

322
00:19:16.720 --> 00:19:17.279
<v Speaker 1>What happened?

323
00:19:17.480 --> 00:19:21.359
<v Speaker 2>We feel we hide from God, we feel we go

324
00:19:22.039 --> 00:19:24.960
<v Speaker 2>farther from God, get a new feeling. That's what's sinned us.

325
00:19:25.279 --> 00:19:28.400
<v Speaker 2>It detaches us from our closeness with the Lord. And

326
00:19:28.480 --> 00:19:31.319
<v Speaker 2>to seek God is to actually draw near to God,

327
00:19:31.359 --> 00:19:36.039
<v Speaker 2>to draw closer to God. And it's actually a posture

328
00:19:36.079 --> 00:19:38.559
<v Speaker 2>of the mind. It's actually a posture of the heart.

329
00:19:38.880 --> 00:19:42.480
<v Speaker 2>It's that focus and going back to the Lord. It's

330
00:19:42.559 --> 00:19:47.119
<v Speaker 2>God's presence and acceptance, and it starts with us drawing

331
00:19:47.400 --> 00:19:51.640
<v Speaker 2>near to Him. It's fixing our gaze and preparing our

332
00:19:51.720 --> 00:19:55.400
<v Speaker 2>hearts for our time with the Lord. And that's what

333
00:19:55.440 --> 00:19:59.799
<v Speaker 2>we do whenever we do worship. I've received feedback. Non

334
00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:04.559
<v Speaker 2>I invited a few friends, Oh, tune in, but I

335
00:20:04.640 --> 00:20:09.240
<v Speaker 2>can get ministered by the Word and Sameelah. When I

336
00:20:09.319 --> 00:20:12.440
<v Speaker 2>tuned in the channel of Facebook named Victory Green Hills.

337
00:20:14.720 --> 00:20:18.839
<v Speaker 2>After and even in our Sunday gatherings, I hear comments

338
00:20:18.880 --> 00:20:23.279
<v Speaker 2>like the service starts at five, but I'd probably go

339
00:20:23.359 --> 00:20:28.359
<v Speaker 2>in my five cantahan. I hope you know that singing

340
00:20:28.519 --> 00:20:33.000
<v Speaker 2>praises and worship to God is not like showing trailers

341
00:20:33.079 --> 00:20:36.519
<v Speaker 2>before the actual movie that you can skip it. I

342
00:20:36.519 --> 00:20:41.039
<v Speaker 2>hope you know that prayer and worship and tits in

343
00:20:41.119 --> 00:20:45.640
<v Speaker 2>offering and the dedication benediction is part of the service,

344
00:20:46.640 --> 00:20:49.960
<v Speaker 2>and worship prepares our heart for the Word. And that's

345
00:20:50.000 --> 00:20:52.920
<v Speaker 2>why I hope today know for if you are at home,

346
00:20:53.000 --> 00:20:55.599
<v Speaker 2>and if you could recall the times that you attend

347
00:20:55.599 --> 00:20:59.759
<v Speaker 2>the church, there's a big difference that God will speak

348
00:20:59.759 --> 00:21:02.319
<v Speaker 2>to us and minister to us if He has prepared

349
00:21:02.400 --> 00:21:06.480
<v Speaker 2>us as we worship. If anagagan worship, it prepares us

350
00:21:06.519 --> 00:21:09.519
<v Speaker 2>for the heart. And that's why our worship leaders are

351
00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:10.880
<v Speaker 2>ministers as well.

352
00:21:10.960 --> 00:21:11.920
<v Speaker 1>Why because they.

353
00:21:12.119 --> 00:21:16.200
<v Speaker 2>Allow us to detach ourselves from our problems, allow us

354
00:21:16.240 --> 00:21:19.720
<v Speaker 2>to surrender everything to the Lord, and for us to

355
00:21:19.839 --> 00:21:23.240
<v Speaker 2>be able to worship him. What happens, it reveals who

356
00:21:23.279 --> 00:21:27.319
<v Speaker 2>God is. Whenever we sing praises, it reveals how magnificent

357
00:21:27.440 --> 00:21:30.359
<v Speaker 2>and awesome God is that we're willing to devote one

358
00:21:30.400 --> 00:21:35.079
<v Speaker 2>hundred percent of our attention in worship and listening to

359
00:21:35.119 --> 00:21:38.359
<v Speaker 2>the word. And so to seek God is to prepare.

360
00:21:38.880 --> 00:21:40.680
<v Speaker 2>To seek God is to prepare.

361
00:21:40.359 --> 00:21:42.119
<v Speaker 1>Our minds and our hearts.

362
00:21:42.720 --> 00:21:47.119
<v Speaker 2>Are you preparing before you pray? Are you preparing before

363
00:21:47.160 --> 00:21:50.599
<v Speaker 2>you hear the word of God? I hope you enjoyed

364
00:21:50.599 --> 00:21:53.680
<v Speaker 2>the worship. But more than that, I hope you know

365
00:21:53.759 --> 00:21:56.640
<v Speaker 2>that when we worship, it prepares our heart.

366
00:21:56.720 --> 00:21:57.799
<v Speaker 1>It humbles us.

367
00:21:57.920 --> 00:22:01.319
<v Speaker 2>Actually, And so this is the che challenge that as

368
00:22:01.359 --> 00:22:04.559
<v Speaker 2>we pray, we also need to seek God. We need

369
00:22:04.599 --> 00:22:08.000
<v Speaker 2>to prepare for our time with God. It's turning away

370
00:22:08.039 --> 00:22:11.799
<v Speaker 2>all the distractions that we have. So you continue, It

371
00:22:11.799 --> 00:22:16.160
<v Speaker 2>says not only do we humble ourselves right posture do

372
00:22:16.279 --> 00:22:19.279
<v Speaker 2>we pray to God for others? Do we seek His

373
00:22:19.400 --> 00:22:21.960
<v Speaker 2>face as we get prepared by the word and to

374
00:22:22.119 --> 00:22:26.559
<v Speaker 2>turn from our wicked ways. God was telling his people

375
00:22:26.599 --> 00:22:31.359
<v Speaker 2>through Solomon that we still need to continually repent, repent

376
00:22:31.480 --> 00:22:34.000
<v Speaker 2>for the things that we have done wrong, repent for

377
00:22:34.079 --> 00:22:37.720
<v Speaker 2>the things that we have displeased God, or if we

378
00:22:37.799 --> 00:22:41.039
<v Speaker 2>have missed the mark of what the Bible says.

379
00:22:41.680 --> 00:22:43.359
<v Speaker 1>But not only that, we are also.

380
00:22:43.160 --> 00:22:47.359
<v Speaker 2>Called to repent for our people and for our land,

381
00:22:47.640 --> 00:22:53.680
<v Speaker 2>for our nation. Repentance is going back to the right direction,

382
00:22:53.880 --> 00:22:57.000
<v Speaker 2>going back to God. In the Old Testament, the priests

383
00:22:57.039 --> 00:23:01.039
<v Speaker 2>had to make sure that they first was repentant and

384
00:23:01.119 --> 00:23:03.880
<v Speaker 2>cleansed of their sins. Why because whenever they go to

385
00:23:03.920 --> 00:23:06.759
<v Speaker 2>the temple, and if they're not right with God, you

386
00:23:06.880 --> 00:23:11.279
<v Speaker 2>may tally pusilan paindaumaloyan tali ibi shabin na kunshum nasilan

387
00:23:11.400 --> 00:23:14.599
<v Speaker 2>Lord and the other priests would pull them back for

388
00:23:14.799 --> 00:23:17.519
<v Speaker 2>us to pray for the people, for our land, for

389
00:23:17.640 --> 00:23:22.319
<v Speaker 2>the Philippines, for healing. We actually still need to go

390
00:23:22.359 --> 00:23:26.119
<v Speaker 2>back and repent to God. It's being right with God,

391
00:23:26.559 --> 00:23:30.640
<v Speaker 2>it's turning one hundred eighty degrees and saying, Lord, I

392
00:23:30.680 --> 00:23:34.119
<v Speaker 2>will not continue the wickedness or the bad things that

393
00:23:34.160 --> 00:23:37.839
<v Speaker 2>I've been doing, and I will now run towards you

394
00:23:39.000 --> 00:23:42.759
<v Speaker 2>as we repent for this land, our nation. The question

395
00:23:42.920 --> 00:23:47.920
<v Speaker 2>is are we people who are also bashing the government?

396
00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:50.079
<v Speaker 2>Are we people who are angry at them? Are we

397
00:23:50.200 --> 00:23:54.559
<v Speaker 2>people who are the ones criticizing them? We need to

398
00:23:54.599 --> 00:23:57.880
<v Speaker 2>repent of that because that is not pleasing to the Lord.

399
00:23:58.440 --> 00:24:01.519
<v Speaker 2>The Bible tells us to honor the people in position,

400
00:24:01.640 --> 00:24:04.200
<v Speaker 2>to honor the people who.

401
00:24:04.119 --> 00:24:05.599
<v Speaker 1>Are leaving this country.

402
00:24:05.880 --> 00:24:09.200
<v Speaker 2>So we also need to repent of our race, repent

403
00:24:09.279 --> 00:24:12.319
<v Speaker 2>of the anger that we have, repent from that pride

404
00:24:12.400 --> 00:24:14.480
<v Speaker 2>of thinking that we know better than them.

405
00:24:15.200 --> 00:24:16.440
<v Speaker 1>We need to repent as.

406
00:24:16.279 --> 00:24:19.319
<v Speaker 2>We comply with the law. This is the right posture

407
00:24:19.400 --> 00:24:22.680
<v Speaker 2>as people of God. We need to pray for the

408
00:24:22.759 --> 00:24:26.440
<v Speaker 2>people to get involved. We need to seek God, prepare

409
00:24:26.480 --> 00:24:28.200
<v Speaker 2>our hearts and his presence.

410
00:24:28.799 --> 00:24:29.279
<v Speaker 1>What else?

411
00:24:29.359 --> 00:24:32.640
<v Speaker 2>We are called to repent and be right with God.

412
00:24:32.960 --> 00:24:35.400
<v Speaker 2>So the question is Lord, am I qualified to do

413
00:24:35.440 --> 00:24:37.759
<v Speaker 2>this for our lands? See no, no, no, no, no no no

414
00:24:37.799 --> 00:24:41.240
<v Speaker 2>no Solomon no, Noah's he David. I'm not one of

415
00:24:41.240 --> 00:24:45.039
<v Speaker 2>the Deshs. I'm not Paul I'm just Francis. Who am

416
00:24:45.079 --> 00:24:47.640
<v Speaker 2>I to actually go back to the Lord and say, Lord,

417
00:24:47.680 --> 00:24:50.680
<v Speaker 2>I am interceding in behalf of you. I hope you

418
00:24:50.759 --> 00:24:54.960
<v Speaker 2>know that whenever we come to God, the Bible says,

419
00:24:55.000 --> 00:24:58.599
<v Speaker 2>the righteous prayer is powerful. Whenever we come to God,

420
00:24:59.000 --> 00:25:04.119
<v Speaker 2>he sees the right righteousness of Jesus in us. And

421
00:25:04.160 --> 00:25:07.240
<v Speaker 2>that is the greatest change that when Christ died on

422
00:25:07.319 --> 00:25:11.319
<v Speaker 2>the cross, God does not see us as that sinful

423
00:25:11.440 --> 00:25:16.119
<v Speaker 2>person anymore, but he sees the righteousness of his son

424
00:25:16.359 --> 00:25:19.359
<v Speaker 2>in us. And that's why it's not what we do,

425
00:25:19.839 --> 00:25:21.839
<v Speaker 2>it's not what we have done for the Lord that

426
00:25:21.880 --> 00:25:24.920
<v Speaker 2>he will hear our prayers. It is what Jesus has

427
00:25:25.039 --> 00:25:28.000
<v Speaker 2>done on the cross. And that's why all of us

428
00:25:28.119 --> 00:25:33.400
<v Speaker 2>are qualified to humble ourselves, to pray, to seek, and

429
00:25:33.440 --> 00:25:37.960
<v Speaker 2>to repent, not only for our own concerns, but also

430
00:25:38.240 --> 00:25:41.720
<v Speaker 2>for our nation and also for what.

431
00:25:41.880 --> 00:25:43.519
<v Speaker 1>Is happening in our nation.

432
00:25:45.039 --> 00:25:48.559
<v Speaker 2>What happens when we do this. This is the instructions

433
00:25:48.559 --> 00:25:53.160
<v Speaker 2>of God to his people. It says, then I will

434
00:25:53.359 --> 00:25:58.039
<v Speaker 2>hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sins and

435
00:25:58.240 --> 00:25:59.920
<v Speaker 2>heal their land.

436
00:26:00.279 --> 00:26:01.480
<v Speaker 1>The reality is this.

437
00:26:02.319 --> 00:26:06.720
<v Speaker 2>That no matter how much we try to lock ourselves

438
00:26:06.799 --> 00:26:10.440
<v Speaker 2>in how much we pray for that vaccine to come,

439
00:26:10.640 --> 00:26:14.160
<v Speaker 2>I believe that it is only through the hand of

440
00:26:14.240 --> 00:26:18.000
<v Speaker 2>God that we will get out of this situation. That

441
00:26:18.079 --> 00:26:21.880
<v Speaker 2>if He allows us to find that cure, if he

442
00:26:21.960 --> 00:26:26.039
<v Speaker 2>allows science to be able to produce that cure, if

443
00:26:26.039 --> 00:26:29.279
<v Speaker 2>he allows that hand of healing to our nation and

444
00:26:29.359 --> 00:26:32.559
<v Speaker 2>to the worst of the world, it is only through

445
00:26:32.680 --> 00:26:37.359
<v Speaker 2>him that we can have that blessed life again, that

446
00:26:37.480 --> 00:26:40.240
<v Speaker 2>kind of life where we can go back to the

447
00:26:40.279 --> 00:26:44.519
<v Speaker 2>New Norman. Probably it is through the hands of God.

448
00:26:45.200 --> 00:26:48.279
<v Speaker 2>And so the Lord's promise is this, that he will

449
00:26:48.319 --> 00:26:53.799
<v Speaker 2>hear our prayers, not only that he will forgive our iniquities,

450
00:26:54.279 --> 00:26:57.519
<v Speaker 2>and he will heal our land. I know that all

451
00:26:57.519 --> 00:27:02.000
<v Speaker 2>of us want this, to heal our land, to healer land,

452
00:27:02.000 --> 00:27:05.519
<v Speaker 2>from this COVID nineteen disease, to healer land, from this

453
00:27:06.200 --> 00:27:10.119
<v Speaker 2>mentality of panic, to healer land, from this mentality of

454
00:27:10.440 --> 00:27:14.240
<v Speaker 2>economic meltdown. It is only through the hand of God

455
00:27:14.440 --> 00:27:19.119
<v Speaker 2>that he can actually wipe out all that anxiety, that virus,

456
00:27:19.559 --> 00:27:23.119
<v Speaker 2>and bring out the economy and unite once again the

457
00:27:23.160 --> 00:27:27.640
<v Speaker 2>people of God. This is our calling Church Tai and

458
00:27:27.720 --> 00:27:34.279
<v Speaker 2>Panginu on Para magdasal sabauwa isa parasaating bayan and my

459
00:27:34.400 --> 00:27:36.039
<v Speaker 2>prayers that we will be able to.

460
00:27:36.039 --> 00:27:38.160
<v Speaker 1>Embrace this kind of calling.

461
00:27:39.039 --> 00:27:42.759
<v Speaker 2>It says, he hears us, he will forgive us, and

462
00:27:42.880 --> 00:27:47.039
<v Speaker 2>he will heal us. So what do we do? Do

463
00:27:47.160 --> 00:27:49.720
<v Speaker 2>We just pray on our own. That's good, and I

464
00:27:49.759 --> 00:27:51.720
<v Speaker 2>hope you do that. I'm going to share more on

465
00:27:51.759 --> 00:27:55.720
<v Speaker 2>the application later. The Bible says in Matthew chapter eighteen,

466
00:27:55.799 --> 00:27:59.119
<v Speaker 2>verse nineteen to twenty, says, again, I say to you,

467
00:27:59.559 --> 00:28:04.119
<v Speaker 2>if of you agree on earth about anything they ask,

468
00:28:04.599 --> 00:28:08.359
<v Speaker 2>it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.

469
00:28:08.839 --> 00:28:11.960
<v Speaker 2>For where two or three are gathered in my name,

470
00:28:12.400 --> 00:28:14.640
<v Speaker 2>there I am among them.

471
00:28:14.839 --> 00:28:15.039
<v Speaker 1>You know.

472
00:28:15.079 --> 00:28:19.279
<v Speaker 2>The Bible shares that there is power in coming together

473
00:28:19.640 --> 00:28:22.839
<v Speaker 2>that whenever we pray, not only individually, when we do

474
00:28:22.920 --> 00:28:25.240
<v Speaker 2>it as a church, as a church community, when we

475
00:28:25.319 --> 00:28:28.440
<v Speaker 2>partner with someone and we declare and they agree with

476
00:28:28.480 --> 00:28:31.519
<v Speaker 2>that prayer, there is power in this kind of prayer.

477
00:28:31.799 --> 00:28:35.319
<v Speaker 2>And that's why every time Pastor Edgar would lead us

478
00:28:35.400 --> 00:28:38.920
<v Speaker 2>in our prayer time at lunch, their prayer points and

479
00:28:39.000 --> 00:28:42.119
<v Speaker 2>that's meant for us to pray with a partner, and

480
00:28:42.200 --> 00:28:44.680
<v Speaker 2>that's meant for us to pray all at the.

481
00:28:44.680 --> 00:28:46.839
<v Speaker 1>Same time, there is power.

482
00:28:47.319 --> 00:28:53.240
<v Speaker 2>Imagine when everyone is praying Victory Greenheels around four thousand epon.

483
00:28:53.839 --> 00:28:59.079
<v Speaker 2>Imagine at twelve thirty in the afternoon, everyone of those

484
00:28:59.119 --> 00:29:03.279
<v Speaker 2>four thousand plus hopefully their family members are praying for

485
00:29:03.319 --> 00:29:07.680
<v Speaker 2>our frontliners. That's a powerful prayer because that is the

486
00:29:07.799 --> 00:29:11.839
<v Speaker 2>unity of the people of God. So we are called

487
00:29:12.039 --> 00:29:16.160
<v Speaker 2>to do this together. And that's why as we preach,

488
00:29:16.759 --> 00:29:21.359
<v Speaker 2>we are actually encouraging people, all of us. Everyone who

489
00:29:21.400 --> 00:29:24.839
<v Speaker 2>is watching this, and if you know someone, you can

490
00:29:24.880 --> 00:29:27.759
<v Speaker 2>invite them to this. We as a movement here in

491
00:29:27.839 --> 00:29:32.079
<v Speaker 2>Victory Greenhills, Victory, Philippines, and also every nation has taken

492
00:29:32.160 --> 00:29:36.279
<v Speaker 2>part in our the Unite seven one four. This is

493
00:29:36.279 --> 00:29:39.279
<v Speaker 2>where they got the second Chronicles seven to one four verse.

494
00:29:39.960 --> 00:29:44.519
<v Speaker 2>And these are churches globally uniting us one to pray.

495
00:29:44.640 --> 00:29:47.920
<v Speaker 2>They have prayer points you can register, and what we

496
00:29:48.000 --> 00:29:50.519
<v Speaker 2>do here in the Philippines is you can alarm your

497
00:29:50.640 --> 00:29:54.039
<v Speaker 2>phone at seven fourteen in the morning and at seven

498
00:29:54.279 --> 00:29:58.039
<v Speaker 2>fourteen in the evening and this is a time for

499
00:29:58.119 --> 00:30:00.400
<v Speaker 2>us to prayer, and so you can join that. You

500
00:30:00.440 --> 00:30:04.839
<v Speaker 2>can search Unite seven to one four. They have an

501
00:30:04.960 --> 00:30:07.640
<v Speaker 2>online platform. We have a website for that and you

502
00:30:07.680 --> 00:30:12.599
<v Speaker 2>can join this movement as we pray and intercede for

503
00:30:12.799 --> 00:30:17.079
<v Speaker 2>our land. Okay, we're almost done, and so how do

504
00:30:17.119 --> 00:30:19.599
<v Speaker 2>we apply this word today? I just want to share

505
00:30:20.079 --> 00:30:21.880
<v Speaker 2>a few of the things that we need to do.

506
00:30:22.000 --> 00:30:26.160
<v Speaker 2>Number one, make a prayer list. Make a prayer list.

507
00:30:25.920 --> 00:30:28.920
<v Speaker 1>Of people that are seeking for healing. Put their names.

508
00:30:29.000 --> 00:30:31.480
<v Speaker 2>Make a prayer list for our frontliners for the things

509
00:30:31.480 --> 00:30:33.119
<v Speaker 2>that you want them to receive.

510
00:30:33.200 --> 00:30:34.559
<v Speaker 1>My ppe is the Maguanila.

511
00:30:34.640 --> 00:30:38.920
<v Speaker 2>On time food, make a list put there the government,

512
00:30:39.079 --> 00:30:42.559
<v Speaker 2>our president. Make your own list that you can open

513
00:30:42.920 --> 00:30:46.559
<v Speaker 2>before and during the time you pray. Set an alarm.

514
00:30:46.599 --> 00:30:48.759
<v Speaker 2>That's the second thing that we can do. You can

515
00:30:48.799 --> 00:30:52.039
<v Speaker 2>also include not only the seven, fourteen am and PM,

516
00:30:52.440 --> 00:30:55.079
<v Speaker 2>but you can also alarm at twelve thirty to join

517
00:30:55.200 --> 00:30:57.680
<v Speaker 2>us in our prayer meeting. You can actually alarm in

518
00:30:57.720 --> 00:31:01.640
<v Speaker 2>the afternoon if you have that time, and I know

519
00:31:01.720 --> 00:31:08.599
<v Speaker 2>you have that time. It a one class for an hour, Magagnan.

520
00:31:09.160 --> 00:31:11.640
<v Speaker 2>You have so much time, and so I encourage you

521
00:31:11.680 --> 00:31:16.599
<v Speaker 2>to alarm your phone. Number three, Prepare, Prepare worship God.

522
00:31:16.920 --> 00:31:19.720
<v Speaker 2>It helps me before I do my devotion to hear

523
00:31:20.119 --> 00:31:24.319
<v Speaker 2>a worship song. Sometimes I sing with it. And so

524
00:31:25.039 --> 00:31:27.519
<v Speaker 2>go inside your room, lock yourself in that room, just

525
00:31:27.559 --> 00:31:30.640
<v Speaker 2>worship God, raise your hands and enjoy the presence of God.

526
00:31:30.680 --> 00:31:34.160
<v Speaker 2>So you need to prepare and lastly pray. This is

527
00:31:34.440 --> 00:31:37.079
<v Speaker 2>the calling of God in our lives. I'm going to

528
00:31:37.119 --> 00:31:40.960
<v Speaker 2>say it again. God has made us into people who

529
00:31:41.000 --> 00:31:44.160
<v Speaker 2>worship Him and to pray to Him. And it's not

530
00:31:44.240 --> 00:31:48.599
<v Speaker 2>only for our sake, but it's also for others. So

531
00:31:48.640 --> 00:31:51.319
<v Speaker 2>when you pray, this is the question to ask. Are

532
00:31:51.359 --> 00:31:55.279
<v Speaker 2>you praying in passing? Are you praying in passion? Are

533
00:31:55.319 --> 00:32:00.119
<v Speaker 2>you involved in your prayers today? Lord, thank you that,

534
00:32:00.319 --> 00:32:02.559
<v Speaker 2>just like the prayer of Daniel. Lord, God Lord, we

535
00:32:02.839 --> 00:32:06.599
<v Speaker 2>just bow down to you and repent of the things

536
00:32:07.119 --> 00:32:08.400
<v Speaker 2>that our nation has done.

537
00:32:09.200 --> 00:32:09.480
<v Speaker 1>Lord.

538
00:32:09.559 --> 00:32:11.599
<v Speaker 2>Thank you that you are a God who hears us

539
00:32:11.640 --> 00:32:15.039
<v Speaker 2>and forgives. And so Lord God Lord, we pray that

540
00:32:15.160 --> 00:32:18.640
<v Speaker 2>you save us. Lord, heal our land. Lord, God Lord,

544
00:32:28.799 --> 00:32:33.000

00:32:40.279 --> 00:32:44.799
<v Speaker 2>grumbled against it. If we have actually disregarded the laws,

548
00:32:44.880 --> 00:32:47.400
<v Speaker 2>or if we have not followed it. Lor, we just

549
00:32:47.480 --> 00:32:52.359
