Speaker 1: Welcome Just hand Away Tagalog Sermon Podcast, your daily dose
Speaker 1: of inspiring from heartfelt tagalog sermons from different pastors and
Speaker 1: speakers all over the Philippines. We hope that this podcast
Speaker 1: finds you in good shape.
Speaker 2: And now here's your message. Thank you, Lord God, as
Speaker 2: we get to prepare our hearts in our minds for
Speaker 2: the Word. Thank you Lord that we can worship you freely.
Speaker 2: And thank you God that you will speak to all
Speaker 2: of us today as we dedicate this next few.
Speaker 1: Minutes to your Word.
Speaker 2: High Church, Welcome to our three pm service here in
Speaker 2: Victory Green Hills. You know, before we get into what
Speaker 2: I will preach today, I just realized this that we
Speaker 2: are in a time of great crisis. I know that
Speaker 2: the quarantine has been extended. Whenever we look at the data,
Speaker 2: especially around four o'clock in the afternoon, we see the
Speaker 2: updates on the numbers, and lately it's been very encouraging
Speaker 2: because the recoveries are higher. But at the same time
Speaker 2: we actually look at it in a total picture and
Speaker 2: we see is their progress happening. Some of you, my
Speaker 2: brothers and sisters, might feel like this is the biggest
Speaker 2: trial that we are facing as a nation. I believe
Speaker 2: that's true, but it's only.
Speaker 1: In our generation.
Speaker 2: If we look at history, we can see a lot
Speaker 2: of things happen and it might have been worse for them.
Speaker 2: And that's why, for some reason, we can actually appreciate
Speaker 2: medical advancements because we are now a little bit more
Speaker 2: ready than the epidemic that we experienced in nineteen eighteen.
Speaker 2: I haven't been born yet that time, maybe some of
Speaker 2: you were. But at the same time, we know this
Speaker 2: that we should learn from our past and our history.
Speaker 2: Why am I sharing this fact to you? You know,
Speaker 2: us as people of God, also cherish the Book of God,
Speaker 2: the Word of God, as part of our history.
Speaker 1: You know, the Bible.
Speaker 2: Has so many stories of how God has intervened and
Speaker 2: how God has spoken to his people time and time
Speaker 2: again when people need crisis.
Speaker 1: And today I want.
Speaker 2: To share a word of God found in the Book
Speaker 2: of Chronicles, in the second Book of Chronicles.
Speaker 1: You know, the Book of Chronicles.
Speaker 2: Are stories of kings of the past, kings appointed and
Speaker 2: anointed by the Lord, and we get to learn from
Speaker 2: how they have encounter challenges in their lives and how
Speaker 2: God has intervened as well. And I hope and pray
Speaker 2: that we will all get encouraged as we go through
Speaker 2: one passage of scripture, which is found in Second Chronicles,
Speaker 2: chapter seven. Chapter seven is the time where King Solomon,
Speaker 2: considered as the wisest king of all, was tasked by
Speaker 2: God and by his father David to build the House
Speaker 2: of the Lord in Jerusalem. And it was a grand project.
Speaker 2: He was able to build it. And now as he
Speaker 2: has built it, he has invited all the people of Israel, people.
Speaker 1: Of God, to worship God.
Speaker 2: As he prayed and dedicated this new House of the Lord.
Speaker 2: What happens the glory of the Lord fills this temple.
Speaker 2: The art of the Covenant is now placed in its
Speaker 2: rightful home. And what happens as they worship God, God
Speaker 2: has revealed himself through fire mehrumpum dumatna fire.
Speaker 1: And it is a symbol of the faithfulness.
Speaker 2: In God, in the presence of God in the lives
Speaker 2: of the people and in that temple.
Speaker 1: And so as the presence.
Speaker 2: Of the Lord filled this new temple, this new house,
Speaker 2: they begin.
Speaker 1: To worship God. And for seven.
Speaker 2: Straight days they did sacrifices. They thank Him, they were
Speaker 2: praising him. The gratefulness of the God that we serve
Speaker 2: in God that we have, and on the eighth day Solomon,
Speaker 2: King Solomon now allows them we in Hayo.
Speaker 1: It is done.
Speaker 2: Soon after that, the Bible says, and where we are,
Speaker 2: the Lord appears through in Solomon at night, and he
Speaker 2: speaks to him, and he gives him some tips or
Speaker 2: some instructions that he will have to tell the people
Speaker 2: of God. And we find that in verse fourteen, and
Speaker 2: it says here, if you have your bibles, please open
Speaker 2: it to Second Chronicles, chapter seven, verse fourteen, and I
Speaker 2: want us to read it together. But if you don't
Speaker 2: have your bibles with you today, we will flash this
Speaker 2: verse on the screen. And I hope that we get
Speaker 2: to give reverence to the Word of God. Doesn't matter
Speaker 2: if you're at home. We can still worship and give
Speaker 2: reverence to the Word of God today. And so if
Speaker 2: you're there, you can read meet Me. Verse fourteen. It says,
Speaker 2: if my people who are called by my name humble
Speaker 2: themselves and pray and seek my face, and turn from
Speaker 2: their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven. I
Speaker 2: will forgive their sins and heal their land. This is
Speaker 2: our word for today. It starts with this. It says,
Speaker 2: if my people who are called by my name? What
Speaker 2: does that mean? In the net version it says if
Speaker 2: my people who belong to me. The message version also
Speaker 2: says my people my God define people. A good question
Speaker 2: to usk today is do we consider ourselves as people
Speaker 2: of God in our lives today? Do we consider and
Speaker 2: say that I am a follower of God, that I
Speaker 2: follow the ways of the Lord. This is the time
Speaker 2: where we can reflect, Am I really a true believer?
Speaker 2: Do I walk in the world ways of my God?
Speaker 2: And so I believe that If your answer is.
Speaker 1: Yes, this message is for all of us.
Speaker 2: It doesn't give us qualifications of which kind of profession
Speaker 2: that are followers of God. It just says it is
Speaker 2: for God's people, and this is God's word for all
Speaker 2: of us today. It says for my people to first
Speaker 2: humble themselves. We need to humble ourselves. Why because we
Speaker 2: can actually be doing things for the Lord with the
Speaker 2: wrong heart. We can be actually doing things for God
Speaker 2: with the wrong posture. Sometimes we can say, Lord, I
Speaker 2: will do this and do that, so you have to
Speaker 2: do this for me. Parent may return partan meron exchange
Speaker 2: between our prayers with God and how he will answer.
Speaker 1: Lord.
Speaker 2: If I donate keelanan beginale, you will give me.
Speaker 1: And bless me.
Speaker 2: God starts by calling all his people to humble ourselves.
Speaker 2: And so my first point that I want to share
Speaker 2: with you out of the instructions of God to Solomon
Speaker 2: and to the people, he starts with our posture. God
Speaker 2: calls us his servants to humble ourselves. God starts with
Speaker 2: this kind of instruction because it's also a heart check.
Speaker 1: How are we today?
Speaker 2: How are we dealing with this time of being at home?
Speaker 2: Are we self sufficient people or are we God dependent people?
Speaker 2: You know, the world we live in talks about a
Speaker 2: lot about being self made people.
Speaker 1: Self sufficient.
Speaker 2: I can do things on my own, I can shop online,
Speaker 2: I don't need help from anyone. But the reality is,
Speaker 2: brothers and sisters, I hope you know this, that we
Speaker 2: cannot do anything apart from the grace of God. It's
Speaker 2: difficult to live our lives as believers without being dependent
Speaker 2: to God. What is the posture of our hearts today?
Speaker 2: Sometimes we also have this mindset that when when we
Speaker 2: say we go to God or as people of God,
Speaker 2: we feel like we are.
Speaker 1: The privileged ones.
Speaker 2: Our Lord Yamhan and jan kaias he lenox A suffer
Speaker 2: chas leasa it because they don't have you. That is
Speaker 2: not the right posture. Why, because we are representations of
Speaker 2: the Lord, and so not only do we see ourselves.
Speaker 2: The Word of God reflects where we are and what
Speaker 2: we are going through. But the Word of God also
Speaker 2: reflects how we should look at the people around us.
Speaker 2: And that's what we're going to talk about more later
Speaker 2: as we progress with the Word of God today. And
Speaker 2: so it starts with the humble heart, It starts with
Speaker 2: knowing that we are fully dependent on God. To humble
Speaker 2: ourselves is to say, Lord, you are the king.
Speaker 1: And I will follow you.
Speaker 2: This is the kind of life that God wants for us,
Speaker 2: that kingdom living that when Jesus came, he was saying
Speaker 2: repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand. We
Speaker 2: live in this kind of kingdom today. So my challenge
Speaker 2: is as we write down what we learned from the
Speaker 2: Word today, the first thing that I want you to
Speaker 2: write down is this, we are called to humble ourselves.
Speaker 1: It creates that.
Speaker 2: Right posture, that right image that God is our God
Speaker 2: and we are here his servants, ready to serve him.
Speaker 2: I found this quote online and it says a posture
Speaker 2: of humility brings God's presence to my problem. You have
Speaker 2: to realize sometimes when we pray to God when our
Speaker 2: hearts are not right par for me, No, I was
Speaker 2: reflecting upon it.
Speaker 1: Parents the Lord break humility makes.
Speaker 2: Us go down to our knees and say, Lord, I
Speaker 2: need you.
Speaker 1: You know, I hope you realize this.
Speaker 2: Today people are breaking down and going down on their
Speaker 2: knees and saying, Lord, I need you. This is the
Speaker 2: time where the people of God are being prepared by
Speaker 2: the situation. And so if there's one thing that this
Speaker 2: situation has given us, all of us, people who worship Jesus,
Speaker 2: people who don't know him, everyone today is realizing that
Speaker 2: they need someone to save them.
Speaker 1: It starts with our humility to him. C. S.
Speaker 2: Lewis said, this true humility is not thinking less of yourself.
Speaker 2: It is thinking of yourself. Less gets you by ob
Speaker 2: Sometimes you say humility is not o Lord, But humility
Speaker 2: is actually thinking of others. That the life that we
Speaker 2: live is not just about what we need. The life
Speaker 2: that we live is not just about our concerns that
Speaker 2: it's thinking about other things, and it is thinking about
Speaker 2: how God sees others.
Speaker 1: Being a blessing to others.
Speaker 2: So this is my challenge as we progress and know
Speaker 2: the instructions of the Lord, have a heart check today.
Speaker 2: Am I moving in humility? Or am I moving in pride?
Speaker 2: Christians are not self centered people. We are called to
Speaker 2: be ambassadors of the people around us. We are called
Speaker 2: to actually be the thought and light, the hands and
Speaker 2: feet of Jesus to this world. So God says, it
Speaker 2: starts with the right attitude. It's the right attitude in
Speaker 2: our minds. As we continue, it says, as we humble ourselves,
Speaker 2: God says, we need to pray. Our first thing that
Speaker 2: we need to do is pray. We have been praying
Speaker 2: for all our personal needs day. Hey Lord, I need
Speaker 2: this and that's good. But at the same time, I
Speaker 2: hope you know that prayer is not only made for
Speaker 2: us and our benefit. We are called to pray for others.
Speaker 2: The word pray in Hebrew is palal, which means to intervene.
Speaker 2: It's getting personally involved when you pray for someone else.
Speaker 2: Are you personally involved?
Speaker 1: You know?
Speaker 2: Lately I've been receiving Facebook messages, text, Viber messages, even
Speaker 2: through Instagram, private messages of people asking for prayers. People
Speaker 2: have lost their jobs, people who are sick infected by
Speaker 2: this virus, people who don't have the means to buy supplies,
Speaker 2: people who don't know what to do because their families
Speaker 2: need help and they can't go out. My question is
Speaker 2: when we pray for people in need, are we person
Speaker 2: suddenly involved? Does it consume us? Or is it just
Speaker 2: a prayer in passing?
Speaker 1: Lords, Lord, they need something and Jesus name Amen, and
Speaker 1: then we go through our life. Is our prayers in
Speaker 1: passing or in passion?
Speaker 2: Are we are we crying out to God for the
Speaker 2: concerns of the people around us? Had I had my
Speaker 2: Victory group this week and we were also talking about
Speaker 2: prayer and as we use that jump start that we
Speaker 2: had last Monday by Pastor Dennis through our Facebook channel
Speaker 2: or in Facebook page, we actually talked about prayer and
Speaker 2: for some reason, God impressed to me and to the
Speaker 2: group that I was discussing this to that when we
Speaker 2: pray to God, we actually.
Speaker 1: Are interceding for others.
Speaker 2: We're actually saying, as children of God, a Nato and Lord,
Speaker 2: and so as children of God, what we're doing for
Speaker 2: others is we are interceding that Please grant them their
Speaker 2: prayer and that's why now I realize that whenever people
Speaker 2: say but pak before I said, but, the reality.
Speaker 1: Is as people of God, malas.
Speaker 2: Take Lord because we are not only his uh service.
Speaker 1: We are children of God. He loves us so much.
Speaker 2: What does that mean we can actually go to him
Speaker 2: and see, Father, I need you to inter I'm interceding
Speaker 2: for my friend. He'll his mom provide for his family.
Speaker 2: This is getting involved through prayer. It cond shows us,
Speaker 2: It affects us, time for follow up answering.
Speaker 1: Band the Lord in prayer, going deep, I will pray more.
Speaker 2: You know, this is the life that God has called
Speaker 2: us too. That we are called to pray for others.
Speaker 2: We're called to pray for this land, our country. We're
Speaker 2: called to pray for the people globally. We have our
Speaker 2: friends who have relatives abroad. Our prayers are not bound
Speaker 2: in the four.
Speaker 1: Walls of our houses.
Speaker 2: It reaches wherever we declare it to reach. When we
Speaker 2: are praying for people in Italy, it will reach them
Speaker 2: in the name of Jesus. Why because whenever we pray,
Speaker 2: God works, and so this is the calling that God
Speaker 2: has given us.
Speaker 1: Today.
Speaker 2: I like what Pastor Jay of our church in China
Speaker 2: said during Jumpstart. He said, the policemen are called to
Speaker 2: enforce the law, the government are called to organize the people.
Speaker 1: The businessmen are.
Speaker 2: Called to actually bless during this time of crisis. But
Speaker 2: as Christians, as followers of Jesus, as people of God,
Speaker 2: what is our calling and it is to pray. It's
Speaker 2: to pray for one another. This is what God has
Speaker 2: called us to do. And we can do that any
Speaker 2: time of day. We can do that starting today. It's
Speaker 2: not something that when we are just prompted to and
Speaker 2: when we ask you to pray, you can do it.
Speaker 2: You can do it on your own. And we're going
Speaker 2: to talk about that how to do that later. Towards
Speaker 2: the end of this preaching, Pastor Jay also said, as
Speaker 2: people are called to do this, as front liners are
Speaker 2: called to battle the virus, they devote time. And this
Speaker 2: is what we realize in my victory group new Police
Speaker 2: when they go on duty hearings and when I believe
Speaker 2: it's twelve hours straight in the Babantai en Indienda Revelax.
Speaker 2: When the businessmen I'm sure decided to donate. I'm sure
Speaker 2: they had a zoom board meeting they discussed it. How
Speaker 2: much will we donate, and so they put in time,
Speaker 2: They put in effort in their calling, in what they're
Speaker 2: called to do as people of God. How do we pray?
Speaker 2: Do we put in time? Or is a ten second
Speaker 2: prayer per day enough. We're called to pray for the government,
Speaker 2: our president. We're called to pray for the Senate for unity.
Speaker 2: We're called to pray for our local government, our mayors,
Speaker 2: our barangday captains who are also front liners, We're called
Speaker 2: to pray for them. How much time do we devote
Speaker 2: in prayer in twenty four hours that we have in
Speaker 2: a day.
Speaker 1: How much time do we pray?
Speaker 2: Is it more of just quick prayers? I mean if
Speaker 2: a pray or are we actually devoting time to pray?
Speaker 2: This is our calling?
Speaker 1: Church?
Speaker 2: If you are besides someone's again signia, God called you
Speaker 2: to pray, this is your calling. And I hope you
Speaker 2: guys are excited for this kind of calling because it's not.
Speaker 2: It's not because of eloquence that you are atomic pray
Speaker 2: to lain. Everyone can pray, no matter how simple or
Speaker 2: how deep your vocabulary is. We all are called to pray.
Speaker 2: So what kind of prayers do you give today? Is
Speaker 2: it an in passing prayer or is it a passion
Speaker 2: prayer where you are consumed, where you put yourself in
Speaker 2: the situation of our brothers and sisters as they go
Speaker 2: through childs Today.
Speaker 1: I got reminded just now.
Speaker 2: Is the level of your prayer the same when you
Speaker 2: need something badly from God and when you are interceding
Speaker 2: for someone else karaka passionate?
Speaker 1: Does it also bring.
Speaker 2: You down on your knees when you need something or
Speaker 2: when you are interceding for others?
Speaker 1: What's next?
Speaker 2: The Bible says, or the word that we are discussing,
Speaker 2: it says, pray.
Speaker 1: And then seek My face to seek. What does that mean?
Speaker 2: We see this all throughout the Psalms, all throughout the Bible,
Speaker 2: that we seek the presence of God, we seek His
Speaker 2: face today, that we fall short sometimes like Parentio, every
Speaker 2: time we do something against God.
Speaker 1: What happened?
Speaker 2: We feel we hide from God, we feel we go
Speaker 2: farther from God, get a new feeling. That's what's sinned us.
Speaker 2: It detaches us from our closeness with the Lord. And
Speaker 2: to seek God is to actually draw near to God,
Speaker 2: to draw closer to God. And it's actually a posture
Speaker 2: of the mind. It's actually a posture of the heart.
Speaker 2: It's that focus and going back to the Lord. It's
Speaker 2: God's presence and acceptance, and it starts with us drawing
Speaker 2: near to Him. It's fixing our gaze and preparing our
Speaker 2: hearts for our time with the Lord. And that's what
Speaker 2: we do whenever we do worship. I've received feedback. Non
Speaker 2: I invited a few friends, Oh, tune in, but I
Speaker 2: can get ministered by the Word and Sameelah. When I
Speaker 2: tuned in the channel of Facebook named Victory Green Hills.
Speaker 2: After and even in our Sunday gatherings, I hear comments
Speaker 2: like the service starts at five, but I'd probably go
Speaker 2: in my five cantahan. I hope you know that singing
Speaker 2: praises and worship to God is not like showing trailers
Speaker 2: before the actual movie that you can skip it. I
Speaker 2: hope you know that prayer and worship and tits in
Speaker 2: offering and the dedication benediction is part of the service,
Speaker 2: and worship prepares our heart for the Word. And that's
Speaker 2: why I hope today know for if you are at home,
Speaker 2: and if you could recall the times that you attend
Speaker 2: the church, there's a big difference that God will speak
Speaker 2: to us and minister to us if He has prepared
Speaker 2: us as we worship. If anagagan worship, it prepares us
Speaker 2: for the heart. And that's why our worship leaders are
Speaker 2: ministers as well.
Speaker 1: Why because they.
Speaker 2: Allow us to detach ourselves from our problems, allow us
Speaker 2: to surrender everything to the Lord, and for us to
Speaker 2: be able to worship him. What happens, it reveals who
Speaker 2: God is. Whenever we sing praises, it reveals how magnificent
Speaker 2: and awesome God is that we're willing to devote one
Speaker 2: hundred percent of our attention in worship and listening to
Speaker 2: the word. And so to seek God is to prepare.
Speaker 2: To seek God is to prepare.
Speaker 1: Our minds and our hearts.
Speaker 2: Are you preparing before you pray? Are you preparing before
Speaker 2: you hear the word of God? I hope you enjoyed
Speaker 2: the worship. But more than that, I hope you know
Speaker 2: that when we worship, it prepares our heart.
Speaker 1: It humbles us.
Speaker 2: Actually, And so this is the che challenge that as
Speaker 2: we pray, we also need to seek God. We need
Speaker 2: to prepare for our time with God. It's turning away
Speaker 2: all the distractions that we have. So you continue, It
Speaker 2: says not only do we humble ourselves right posture do
Speaker 2: we pray to God for others? Do we seek His
Speaker 2: face as we get prepared by the word and to
Speaker 2: turn from our wicked ways. God was telling his people
Speaker 2: through Solomon that we still need to continually repent, repent
Speaker 2: for the things that we have done wrong, repent for
Speaker 2: the things that we have displeased God, or if we
Speaker 2: have missed the mark of what the Bible says.
Speaker 1: But not only that, we are also.
Speaker 2: Called to repent for our people and for our land,
Speaker 2: for our nation. Repentance is going back to the right direction,
Speaker 2: going back to God. In the Old Testament, the priests
Speaker 2: had to make sure that they first was repentant and
Speaker 2: cleansed of their sins. Why because whenever they go to
Speaker 2: the temple, and if they're not right with God, you
Speaker 2: may tally pusilan paindaumaloyan tali ibi shabin na kunshum nasilan
Speaker 2: Lord and the other priests would pull them back for
Speaker 2: us to pray for the people, for our land, for
Speaker 2: the Philippines, for healing. We actually still need to go
Speaker 2: back and repent to God. It's being right with God,
Speaker 2: it's turning one hundred eighty degrees and saying, Lord, I
Speaker 2: will not continue the wickedness or the bad things that
Speaker 2: I've been doing, and I will now run towards you
Speaker 2: as we repent for this land, our nation. The question
Speaker 2: is are we people who are also bashing the government?
Speaker 2: Are we people who are angry at them? Are we
Speaker 2: people who are the ones criticizing them? We need to
Speaker 2: repent of that because that is not pleasing to the Lord.
Speaker 2: The Bible tells us to honor the people in position,
Speaker 2: to honor the people who.
Speaker 1: Are leaving this country.
Speaker 2: So we also need to repent of our race, repent
Speaker 2: of the anger that we have, repent from that pride
Speaker 2: of thinking that we know better than them.
Speaker 1: We need to repent as.
Speaker 2: We comply with the law. This is the right posture
Speaker 2: as people of God. We need to pray for the
Speaker 2: people to get involved. We need to seek God, prepare
Speaker 2: our hearts and his presence.
Speaker 1: What else?
Speaker 2: We are called to repent and be right with God.
Speaker 2: So the question is Lord, am I qualified to do
Speaker 2: this for our lands? See no, no, no, no, no no no
Speaker 2: no Solomon no, Noah's he David. I'm not one of
Speaker 2: the Deshs. I'm not Paul I'm just Francis. Who am
Speaker 2: I to actually go back to the Lord and say, Lord,
Speaker 2: I am interceding in behalf of you. I hope you
Speaker 2: know that whenever we come to God, the Bible says,
Speaker 2: the righteous prayer is powerful. Whenever we come to God,
Speaker 2: he sees the right righteousness of Jesus in us. And
Speaker 2: that is the greatest change that when Christ died on
Speaker 2: the cross, God does not see us as that sinful
Speaker 2: person anymore, but he sees the righteousness of his son
Speaker 2: in us. And that's why it's not what we do,
Speaker 2: it's not what we have done for the Lord that
Speaker 2: he will hear our prayers. It is what Jesus has
Speaker 2: done on the cross. And that's why all of us
Speaker 2: are qualified to humble ourselves, to pray, to seek, and
Speaker 2: to repent, not only for our own concerns, but also
Speaker 2: for our nation and also for what.
Speaker 1: Is happening in our nation.
Speaker 2: What happens when we do this. This is the instructions
Speaker 2: of God to his people. It says, then I will
Speaker 2: hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sins and
Speaker 2: heal their land.
Speaker 1: The reality is this.
Speaker 2: That no matter how much we try to lock ourselves
Speaker 2: in how much we pray for that vaccine to come,
Speaker 2: I believe that it is only through the hand of
Speaker 2: God that we will get out of this situation. That
Speaker 2: if He allows us to find that cure, if he
Speaker 2: allows science to be able to produce that cure, if
Speaker 2: he allows that hand of healing to our nation and
Speaker 2: to the worst of the world, it is only through
Speaker 2: him that we can have that blessed life again, that
Speaker 2: kind of life where we can go back to the
Speaker 2: New Norman. Probably it is through the hands of God.
Speaker 2: And so the Lord's promise is this, that he will
Speaker 2: hear our prayers, not only that he will forgive our iniquities,
Speaker 2: and he will heal our land. I know that all
Speaker 2: of us want this, to heal our land, to healer land,
Speaker 2: from this COVID nineteen disease, to healer land, from this
Speaker 2: mentality of panic, to healer land, from this mentality of
Speaker 2: economic meltdown. It is only through the hand of God
Speaker 2: that he can actually wipe out all that anxiety, that virus,
Speaker 2: and bring out the economy and unite once again the
Speaker 2: people of God. This is our calling Church Tai and
Speaker 2: Panginu on Para magdasal sabauwa isa parasaating bayan and my
Speaker 2: prayers that we will be able to.
Speaker 1: Embrace this kind of calling.
Speaker 2: It says, he hears us, he will forgive us, and
Speaker 2: he will heal us. So what do we do? Do
Speaker 2: We just pray on our own. That's good, and I
Speaker 2: hope you do that. I'm going to share more on
Speaker 2: the application later. The Bible says in Matthew chapter eighteen,
Speaker 2: verse nineteen to twenty, says, again, I say to you,
Speaker 2: if of you agree on earth about anything they ask,
Speaker 2: it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.
Speaker 2: For where two or three are gathered in my name,
Speaker 2: there I am among them.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: The Bible shares that there is power in coming together
Speaker 2: that whenever we pray, not only individually, when we do
Speaker 2: it as a church, as a church community, when we
Speaker 2: partner with someone and we declare and they agree with
Speaker 2: that prayer, there is power in this kind of prayer.
Speaker 2: And that's why every time Pastor Edgar would lead us
Speaker 2: in our prayer time at lunch, their prayer points and
Speaker 2: that's meant for us to pray with a partner, and
Speaker 2: that's meant for us to pray all at the.
Speaker 1: Same time, there is power.
Speaker 2: Imagine when everyone is praying Victory Greenheels around four thousand epon.
Speaker 2: Imagine at twelve thirty in the afternoon, everyone of those
Speaker 2: four thousand plus hopefully their family members are praying for
Speaker 2: our frontliners. That's a powerful prayer because that is the
Speaker 2: unity of the people of God. So we are called
Speaker 2: to do this together. And that's why as we preach,
Speaker 2: we are actually encouraging people, all of us. Everyone who
Speaker 2: is watching this, and if you know someone, you can
Speaker 2: invite them to this. We as a movement here in
Speaker 2: Victory Greenhills, Victory, Philippines, and also every nation has taken
Speaker 2: part in our the Unite seven one four. This is
Speaker 2: where they got the second Chronicles seven to one four verse.
Speaker 2: And these are churches globally uniting us one to pray.
Speaker 2: They have prayer points you can register, and what we
Speaker 2: do here in the Philippines is you can alarm your
Speaker 2: phone at seven fourteen in the morning and at seven
Speaker 2: fourteen in the evening and this is a time for
Speaker 2: us to prayer, and so you can join that. You
Speaker 2: can search Unite seven to one four. They have an
Speaker 2: online platform. We have a website for that and you
Speaker 2: can join this movement as we pray and intercede for
Speaker 2: our land. Okay, we're almost done, and so how do
Speaker 2: we apply this word today? I just want to share
Speaker 2: a few of the things that we need to do.
Speaker 2: Number one, make a prayer list. Make a prayer list.
Speaker 1: Of people that are seeking for healing. Put their names.
Speaker 2: Make a prayer list for our frontliners for the things
Speaker 2: that you want them to receive.
Speaker 1: My ppe is the Maguanila.
Speaker 2: On time food, make a list put there the government,
Speaker 2: our president. Make your own list that you can open
Speaker 2: before and during the time you pray. Set an alarm.
Speaker 2: That's the second thing that we can do. You can
Speaker 2: also include not only the seven, fourteen am and PM,
Speaker 2: but you can also alarm at twelve thirty to join
Speaker 2: us in our prayer meeting. You can actually alarm in
Speaker 2: the afternoon if you have that time, and I know
Speaker 2: you have that time. It a one class for an hour, Magagnan.
Speaker 2: You have so much time, and so I encourage you
Speaker 2: to alarm your phone. Number three, Prepare, Prepare worship God.
Speaker 2: It helps me before I do my devotion to hear
Speaker 2: a worship song. Sometimes I sing with it. And so
Speaker 2: go inside your room, lock yourself in that room, just
Speaker 2: worship God, raise your hands and enjoy the presence of God.
Speaker 2: So you need to prepare and lastly pray. This is
Speaker 2: the calling of God in our lives. I'm going to
Speaker 2: say it again. God has made us into people who
Speaker 2: worship Him and to pray to Him. And it's not
Speaker 2: only for our sake, but it's also for others. So
Speaker 2: when you pray, this is the question to ask. Are
Speaker 2: you praying in passing? Are you praying in passion? Are
Speaker 2: you involved in your prayers today? Lord, thank you that,
Speaker 2: just like the prayer of Daniel. Lord, God Lord, we
Speaker 2: just bow down to you and repent of the things
Speaker 2: that our nation has done.
Speaker 1: Lord.
Speaker 2: Thank you that you are a God who hears us
Speaker 2: and forgives. And so Lord God Lord, we pray that
Speaker 2: you save us. Lord, heal our land. Lord, God Lord,
Speaker 2: take away this virus in the name of Jesus, right now. Lord,
Speaker 2: heal everyone who is sick. Thank you, Lord God, that
Speaker 2: healing is upon you. Lord, that as you hear us, Lord,
Speaker 2: God Lord, we repent of our rebellious ways. Lord, as
Speaker 2: citizens of this nation. Lord, we are saying sorry for
Speaker 2: if we have not supported the laws, if we have
Speaker 2: grumbled against it. If we have actually disregarded the laws,
Speaker 2: or if we have not followed it. Lor, we just
Speaker 2: repent of our rebellious and wicked ways today. Lord, thank
Speaker 2: you that as we come to you, Lord God, we
Speaker 2: are petitioning. Lord, we are interceding for our name. Lord
Speaker 2: Bohai bayen itold Lord God. Lord, it's not an accident
Speaker 2: that we are Filipinos and you have called us to
Speaker 2: pray for this country. So Lord, we speak a blessing
Speaker 2: to the Philippines. Lord, we speak a blessing to the
Speaker 2: lives of everyone here. Lord, unite our government today, Lord,
Speaker 2: unite the people. Lord God, allow us to comply with
Speaker 2: the laws. Lord, thank you that you will heal your land.
Speaker 2: As we petition, as we pray and seek you, and
Speaker 2: as we pray and repent of our ways.
Speaker 1: This we pray in Jesus name. Amen and Amen, thank
Speaker 1: you for listening. We hope that you enjoy today's episode.
