Speaker 1: Hey, thanks for joining us today on Pastor Rick's Daily Hope.
Speaker 1: We are so glad that you found us today. I've
Speaker 1: got a question for you. Are you feeling stuck, like
Speaker 1: maybe you've hit a wall and just nothing's moving forward. Well,
Speaker 1: you're not alone and you're not without hope. You know,
Speaker 1: the Bible is full of people who faced impossible situations
Speaker 1: like Mary, Noah, Job, even the apostle Paul, and they
Speaker 1: all experienced one thing that changed everything, a breakthrough from God.
Speaker 1: So today Pastor Rick continues his series called Seeking God
Speaker 1: for a Breakthrough.
Speaker 2: Rick's going to.
Speaker 1: Walk us through biblical accounts of faith, prayer, and perseverance,
Speaker 1: reminding us that God still moves in powerful ways whether
Speaker 1: you're in a season of waiting or searching for hope.
Speaker 1: This series offers encouragement and biblical truth to help you
Speaker 1: keep going and get the breakthrough.
Speaker 2: Uni.
Speaker 1: Okay, here's Rick with the final part of a message
Speaker 1: called how to Pray in a Crisis.
Speaker 2: There are many, many examples of people of all sorts
Speaker 2: who cried out to God and God heard their prayer.
Speaker 2: There are many many promises in the Bible about crying out.
Speaker 2: God does not listen to just complaints. He listens to
Speaker 2: crying out in emotion to God, saying, God, I really
Speaker 2: need your help now. It says Daniel, he said he
Speaker 2: was pleading. He's crying out. What is he pleading? What
Speaker 2: is Daniel pleading with God about? He's going God, I
Speaker 2: want to go back home. I'm an old man. I'm
Speaker 2: eighty five years old. I spent my entire life serving
Speaker 2: pagan kings. I've done good. I stay true, kept my
Speaker 2: integrity in a pagan world. I didn't deny my faith,
Speaker 2: and I kept getting promoted. I'm pretty influential guy in
Speaker 2: the whole kingdom here. But God, I want to go
Speaker 2: back home. I really I'm gonna go. I'm gonna die
Speaker 2: in my home country now. Jeremiah, the other guy at
Speaker 2: the same time, had predicted that after seventy years, Babylon
Speaker 2: would fall, and that then the people of God in
Speaker 2: Babylon would start praying and pleading God, let us go
Speaker 2: back home. Here's what it says Jeremiah, chapter fifty. This
Speaker 2: was his prediction. He says, Then my people will join
Speaker 2: together in tears. That's emotional praying. They'll join together in
Speaker 2: tears to seek the Lord. Thirty four days of seeking God,
Speaker 2: and they will ask the way to Jerusalem. What because
Speaker 2: it had been seventy years, they didn't even know how
Speaker 2: to get back home. They will ask the way to
Speaker 2: Jerusalem and they will start back home again. That's one
Speaker 2: of the most touching and hopeful verses in the Bible.
Speaker 2: They don't know the way to get back home, but
Speaker 2: they're gonna ask God in tears, and they will start
Speaker 2: back home again. You need to pray that prayer. You
Speaker 2: need to pray that prayer for your own life. God,
Speaker 2: I've got gotten so detached from you. I've gotten so busy.
Speaker 2: I've gotten so distracted. I don't even know the way
Speaker 2: to find my way back home to you. I haven't
Speaker 2: the slightest idea how to get back home to you.
Speaker 2: I don't know how to get home to Jerusalem, but
Speaker 2: I want to come back home. You need to pray
Speaker 2: that per for your life. Some of you need to
Speaker 2: pray that for your family. Our family's so out of whack.
Speaker 2: We need to come back home to you. Some of
Speaker 2: your parents need to pray that for your kids. I
Speaker 2: got kids who are out there on the limb. I
Speaker 2: need to pray they'll come back home. Some of you
Speaker 2: need to pray it for your business. All of us
Speaker 2: need to pray it for our nation. It's a message
Speaker 2: of hope. Now, when does God answer that kind of prayer? Well,
Speaker 2: notice that verse It said, when my people join together
Speaker 2: in tears. You might circle that, when my people join
Speaker 2: together in tears, God says, then I'm going to answer.
Speaker 2: Let me ask you a question. You see everything that
Speaker 2: I see. You read the newspapers, you watch TV, you
Speaker 2: see what's going on in our nation, you see what's
Speaker 2: going on in our world. Does anything break your heart?
Speaker 2: The stuff that's going on around Does it break your heart?
Speaker 2: What you see happening in our society, in our system,
Speaker 2: in our politics. Does anything break your heart? You see
Speaker 2: all the stuff going on all around the world. Is
Speaker 2: there anything ever bring tears to your eyes? That means
Speaker 2: you really pulled away from the heart of God. It's
Speaker 2: not something we just gossip about and tweet about. It's
Speaker 2: something that breaks the heart, and in tears we say God,
Speaker 2: we need help in this area. All right, here's the
Speaker 2: fourth key. There's six keys. Number four. I need to
Speaker 2: demonstrate my seriousness. When you're praying about something, you need
Speaker 2: to signal to God that you mean business about this
Speaker 2: that it's not just a little whim, it's not just
Speaker 2: a casual thought. But you're really serious about this. You
Speaker 2: want to let God see how important whatever you're praying
Speaker 2: about is to you. Now, Daniel Well, in the next
Speaker 2: part of this verse, mentions three ways he shows he
Speaker 2: signals his seriousness to God. Two of them were cultural customs,
Speaker 2: which we don't do in America or anywhere I think today.
Speaker 2: But one of them is a spiritual discipline that had
Speaker 2: been going on for centuries and thousands of years, and
Speaker 2: people still do it today. Here's what he says in
Speaker 2: verse three, the third part of the verse. He said,
Speaker 2: I started fasting, which means he's going without food. That's
Speaker 2: a spiritual discipline. He said, I started fasting and went
Speaker 2: without food, and to show my sadness, to demonstrate my seriousness,
Speaker 2: I put on rough clothes and sat in ashes. Now
Speaker 2: nobody does this today. This is called sackcloth and ashes,
Speaker 2: and it was done for hundreds and hundred of years
Speaker 2: in the Middle East and in the Orient. I don't
Speaker 2: know that anybody does this today. Jesus said, there are
Speaker 2: some miracles that happen only by prayer and fasting, not
Speaker 2: by prayer alone. Why, Because it says God, I'm super
Speaker 2: serious about this. I'm super serious enough to go without food.
Speaker 2: That's how discipline and serious I am about this prayer
Speaker 2: request all I don't have time to go in this,
Speaker 2: but all through scripture. Moses fasted before he received the
Speaker 2: Ten Commandments. The Israelite fasted from before they went into many,
Speaker 2: many major battles. Daniel fasted in order to receive guidance
Speaker 2: from God. Neamiah fasted before he began a major building project.
Speaker 2: You should too, business guy. Jesus fasted and victory over temptation.
Speaker 2: The very first Christians fasted during decision making times in
Speaker 2: their life. We'll I'll teach you a whole lot more
Speaker 2: about this, but this is the point of simply saying
Speaker 2: I demonstrate my seriousness. Okay. Number five. The fifth thing,
Speaker 2: Thank God for his love and promises. Thank God for
Speaker 2: his love and promises. The Bible says, when you ask,
Speaker 2: ask with thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is not a holiday. If you're
Speaker 2: a believer, it's the attitude of your entire life. You
Speaker 2: are to live with the attitude of gratitude. And the
Speaker 2: fifth thing Daniel does in his prayer is he reminds
Speaker 2: himself of how good God is, how gracious God is,
Speaker 2: and how grateful he is to God Daniel ninety four.
Speaker 2: Then I prayed to the Lord, and I said, Lord,
Speaker 2: you are great. You are an awesome God. You always
Speaker 2: fulfill your promises. You keep your word, you say it,
Speaker 2: you keep your word. You always fulfill your promises of
Speaker 2: constant love. And I'm flaky, you're not. I'm unfaithful to you,
Speaker 2: but you're not unfaithful to me. You keep your promises
Speaker 2: of concile love to those who love you, and keep
Speaker 2: your commands down in verse ninety says, and even though
Speaker 2: we have rebelled against you, you Lord are merciful and forgiving.
Speaker 2: You Just tell God, God, I'm grateful that you're God,
Speaker 2: and I'm not God. I'm grateful that you're loving, You're forgiving,
Speaker 2: You're good, You're merciful. And so you thank God for
Speaker 2: his love and his promises. And then number six, the
Speaker 2: sixth thing do you do? Yeah, this is the last step.
Speaker 2: I humbly confess my sin. God doesn't listen to prideful complaining,
Speaker 2: but he does listen to humble confessing. God responds to humility.
Speaker 2: He says, God resists a problem but he gives grace
Speaker 2: to the humble. Now some of you think, you know,
Speaker 2: if I admit my sins to God, I'm gonna get punished. Oh,
Speaker 2: hang on a minute. First place, God already knows them all.
Speaker 2: You're not gonna say, God, I did this. You go,
Speaker 2: Oh really, how did I miss that one? Didn't see
Speaker 2: that one coming. God already knows every stupid thing you've
Speaker 2: done in your entire life. He just wants you to
Speaker 2: admit it. It's for your own humility. How does God
Speaker 2: respond when I humbly admit I blew it with punishment? Never,
Speaker 2: when God hears you be humble, he responds not with punishment,
Speaker 2: but with blessings, with forgiving, with mercy, with grace. It's
Speaker 2: not like I come and I admit it, then God's
Speaker 2: gonna take me down. No, no, you're gonna get taken
Speaker 2: down by your own pride. God says, you come to
Speaker 2: me humbly and you just admit, Hey, I blew it.
Speaker 2: You know that stuff I said yesterday, it wasn't right,
Speaker 2: that stuff I did to the way I talked to
Speaker 2: my kids, That was not right the way I did this,
Speaker 2: And they just admitted to God. You keep short accounts,
Speaker 2: this is the sixth thing you do. I humbly confess. Now,
Speaker 2: the word confess in the Bible, the Greek word is
Speaker 2: the word homo logeo. Homo means same homo sapian homogenized
Speaker 2: milk means it's all the same homo same logeo means
Speaker 2: to speak, and so to confess theimply means to speak
Speaker 2: the same thing about God. You're right, that was the sin.
Speaker 2: I don't excuse it, don't. I don't make excuses for it.
Speaker 2: I don't say God, that was a little faux pas
Speaker 2: is a little weakness. No, it was wrong. It was sin.
Speaker 2: It was rebellion against you. I did it. You told
Speaker 2: me not to do it, but I did it anyway.
Speaker 2: And that kind of thing God responds to with grace.
Speaker 2: Now in Daniel, chapter five, now nine, verse five, he says, this,
Speaker 2: we've sinned and we've done wrong. Okay, this is the
Speaker 2: sixth part of the prayer. I humbly confess, but I've
Speaker 2: done wrong. We've send it none wrong. But he doesn't
Speaker 2: stop there. He gets very very specific, and you need
Speaker 2: to too. You don't need to go, Oh, God, forgive
Speaker 2: all the sins I did yesterday. But I'm too busy
Speaker 2: to name them. God wants you to be specific, because
Speaker 2: then he wants you to be able to know what
Speaker 2: not to do again. And so I want you to circle.
Speaker 2: I'm just going to read these verses real quick. I'm
Speaker 2: not even going to comment on them, and I want
Speaker 2: you to circle the verbs which are the sins. Okay.
Speaker 2: He says we've sinned it none wrong. Then he says
Speaker 2: we've rebelled against you. That's one rebelled circle that we've
Speaker 2: rebelled against you. He says, we've ignored your commands. Circle ignored.
Speaker 2: He says, we've rejected your laws. We made up our
Speaker 2: own morality. We've rejected your laws. He says, we have
Speaker 2: refused to listen to your servants, the prophets, refused who
Speaker 2: spoke the message to our kings and our leaders and
Speaker 2: our parents and everybody else in our nation. He says,
Speaker 2: this is very specific. We're all at fault here, every generation.
Speaker 2: It's not like one generation. Every generation's got part of
Speaker 2: the blame. And then in verse seven and eight, he
Speaker 2: says this, we've brought disgrace and shame on ourselves as
Speaker 2: a nation because we've been unfaithful to you. He said,
Speaker 2: you know what, God, we've committed spiritual adultery. We gave
Speaker 2: our love to somebody else when we're supposed to give
Speaker 2: our love to you. We've been unfaithful to you. And
Speaker 2: he said this is true of all of us, including
Speaker 2: our kings, our leaders, and our parents. He said, we
Speaker 2: next verse verse ten, we paid no attention to you
Speaker 2: when you told us how to live. You told us
Speaker 2: what's right and wrong, what's morally good. Not so this
Speaker 2: clear teaching came through your promise verse thirteen, but we
Speaker 2: kept on sinning. We never gave you a second thought.
Speaker 2: You're oblivious to you the clear warnings. So God, he says,
Speaker 2: you had no choice but to let disaster loose in
Speaker 2: our nation on us, since we persistently and defiantly ignored you.
Speaker 2: And then he sums it all up in verse sixteen,
Speaker 2: and he says, and now all the other nations mock us.
Speaker 2: Does any of this sound vaguely familiar to you? Now?
Speaker 2: Daniel knows we don't deserve God's blessing, but he casts
Speaker 2: himself on the grace of God. He goes, God, we
Speaker 2: could never earn this, we could never deserve this. We
Speaker 2: don't deserve to get back to home, get back to you.
Speaker 2: We don't deserve your blessing, but I'm going to cast
Speaker 2: myself on your mercy. And in the next verse, he
Speaker 2: says this, Oh God, Oh God, listen to me. Hear
Speaker 2: my request. We don't ask because we deserve. Out we don't.
Speaker 2: We don't ask because we deserve, but because you are
Speaker 2: so merciful. You are a You're a good, good father,
Speaker 2: and you're merciful. Now, how does God respond to this
Speaker 2: kind of prayer, the six things that we just taught you? Well,
Speaker 2: in verse twenty, here's how God responds. Daniel says, well,
Speaker 2: I kept on praying. Let me stop right there circle
Speaker 2: the phrase kept on. Daniel didn't pray this prayer one time.
Speaker 2: He's praying it over and over and over and over. God,
Speaker 2: I need your help. He's praying this over and over.
Speaker 2: That's why we're going to seek God for thirty four days.
Speaker 2: Is your future worth thirty four days? Yes? Is your
Speaker 2: future worth having a conversation with God three times a
Speaker 2: day about for thirty four days before you start the
Speaker 2: new year? Yes, he said, I kept on praying. If
Speaker 2: you don't you pray about something one time, you don't
Speaker 2: care about it. He says, while I kept on praying
Speaker 2: and confessing my sins and confessing the sins of my
Speaker 2: people and pleading with the Lord, He's emotional in this.
Speaker 2: Suddenly the angel Gabriel appeared in my vision. Now you
Speaker 2: guys know who Gabriel is. There are three arch angels.
Speaker 2: There was Lucifer, he fell, he became Satan. There's Michael,
Speaker 2: and there's Gabriel. Gabriels the guy who shows up at Christmas. Hello. OK,
Speaker 2: so we actually know the names of these guys. And
Speaker 2: this is so important that God sends the angel Gabriel
Speaker 2: in a vision to Daniel, and he says, suddenly, while
Speaker 2: I'm doing all his praying, the angel Gabriel appeared in
Speaker 2: my vision and said this, Daniel, I've been sent obviously
Speaker 2: by God. I've been sent to help you understand God's plan. Now,
Speaker 2: the moment you began praying, the answer was given, and
Speaker 2: I'm here to tell it to you for God. God
Speaker 2: loves you very much. Now, God doesn't have to send
Speaker 2: Gabriel to me, and he doesn't have to send Gabriel
Speaker 2: to you because we have the second half of the
Speaker 2: Bible that was written that tells us all about Jesus,
Speaker 2: and so I can tell you right now what God
Speaker 2: will say to you. I love you very very very
Speaker 2: very very very much. I feel, very very deeply have
Speaker 2: deep feelings for you. God says, I saw you born,
Speaker 2: I saw you grow, I saw all the hurts, I've
Speaker 2: saw the happy times. I've seen everything in your life.
Speaker 2: And I have a plan for your life, and I
Speaker 2: have a timetable for your life. And when you start praying,
Speaker 2: I heard that prayer, and I want to help you
Speaker 2: understand my plan for your life because I love you
Speaker 2: very very much. Now you say, well, wait a minute, Rick,
Speaker 2: this is God talking to Daniel. I'm not Daniel. No,
Speaker 2: You're not neither am I. But I know this prayer
Speaker 2: will work for you. And the reason I know it
Speaker 2: will work for you is because the exact same four
Speaker 2: formula is given in another part of the Bible to anybody.
Speaker 2: It's to all of God's people. It's called Second Chronicle
Speaker 2: seven fourteen, one of the most famous promises in the
Speaker 2: entire Bible. Now, before I read this promise, I want
Speaker 2: you to understand it's one of the most misused, misquoted
Speaker 2: versus in the Bible. I've actually heard politicians quote this
Speaker 2: verse as a promise to America. It is not a
Speaker 2: promise to America. It is not a promise to any nation.
Speaker 2: It is a promise to God's people. And God's people
Speaker 2: are in every nation. So this is not a promise
Speaker 2: for America. This is a promise for you and me
Speaker 2: and believers anywhere else in any other nation of the world.
Speaker 2: And it is for us, it's not for everybody. Second
Speaker 2: Chronicle seven fourteen, God says, I got four conditions. If
Speaker 2: you'll do these four things, I'll do three things. If
Speaker 2: my people, if my people who are called by my name,
Speaker 2: are you called my name? Are you called a Christian?
Speaker 2: That's been called by the name of Christ. So if
Speaker 2: you're a Christian, you call yourself a Christian. If my
Speaker 2: people who are called by my name, and here are
Speaker 2: the four things, will humble themselves that's confession, and pray,
Speaker 2: that's pleading, and seek my face. We're going to do
Speaker 2: that for thirty four days, and turn from their wicked ways.
Speaker 2: Then I will hear from heaven. I will forgive their sins,
Speaker 2: and I will heal their land. All of the elements
Speaker 2: of Daniel's prayer are in that promise. And for thirty
Speaker 2: four days, we're going to claim that promise. Anybody with me,
Speaker 2: anybody with me? Okay, okay. God says that I don't
Speaker 2: know what you need. Healing in, healing in your mind,
Speaker 2: healing in your heart, healing in your body, healing in
Speaker 2: your business, healing in your finance, healing in your relationships,
Speaker 2: healing of your fears. Your business needs healing, your family
Speaker 2: needs healing, your marriage needs healing, your nation needs healing.
Speaker 2: If my people who are called by my name, God says,
Speaker 2: will humble themselves, I blew it, Lord, I just blew it,
Speaker 2: and pray. I am pleading God. I did not seek you,
Speaker 2: and I made a bunch of dumb decisions and I'm
Speaker 2: paying for it. Well, humble themselves and pray and seek
Speaker 2: my face. You got my attention. God, I'm looking at you.
Speaker 2: And turn from their ways, they're wicked ways. Then I
Speaker 2: will hear from heaven. I will forgive their sins, and
Speaker 2: I will heal their land. Period done. That's it, So
Speaker 2: let's pray. Dear God. I thank you that you're a
Speaker 2: good and gracious God. And as we get ready to
Speaker 2: together as a family to claim second Chronicle seven fourteen,
Speaker 2: and as we begin to go through in a couple
Speaker 2: of weeks, the thirty four Days of Seeking You, that
Speaker 2: we will make a habit out of having conversations with
Speaker 2: you and reading your word every day. You've promised that
Speaker 2: if we stay connected to you, and that if we
Speaker 2: have your word in our hearts, that we can ask
Speaker 2: what we will and it will be done. I thank
Speaker 2: you for these people who are here. They love you,
Speaker 2: They're good people. They want to do what's right. If
Speaker 2: they weren't interested into them, it's right, they're going to
Speaker 2: have stayed home and watch TV today. But they're here
Speaker 2: and it says that their heart is in the right direction.
Speaker 2: So I ask you on their behalf to hear their
Speaker 2: prayers for Jesus sake. Now you pray, say God, I
Speaker 2: want to learn to seek you. I want to be
Speaker 2: a part of thirty four days of Seeking God. I
Speaker 2: want to build a habit that I don't ever go
Speaker 2: to bed at night, even if I've only read the
Speaker 2: Bible for one minute and prayed for one minute. I
Speaker 2: don't put my head on the pillow without at least
Speaker 2: one conversation with you. Help me to see that your
Speaker 2: plan for my life involves your timing and my praying,
Speaker 2: and that many times I have not because I ask God,
Speaker 2: teach me how to focus my attention on you. God,
Speaker 2: it's so easy to get distracted in this world. I
Speaker 2: want to turn my face to you, and Lord, teach
Speaker 2: me how to talk to you with emotion, to be
Speaker 2: authentic and real, not phony and fake. I me to
Speaker 2: realize that my tone and my heart are more important
Speaker 2: than the words. Thank You, that my prayer doesn't have
Speaker 2: to be beautiful and sound great. It just has to
Speaker 2: be honest and real. Lord, break my heart over the
Speaker 2: things that break your heart. Teach me to pour out
Speaker 2: my heart to you. And yes, even if tears come,
Speaker 2: so be it. God. I've wandered away and I'm not
Speaker 2: as close to you as I've been in the past.
Speaker 2: I want to start back home again today. Help me
Speaker 2: to demonstrate my seriousness by even willing to be willing
Speaker 2: to go without food, to show as a symbol as
Speaker 2: a sign that I'm serious about what I'm praying about.
Speaker 2: Thank you for loving me, God, Thank you for your promises.
Speaker 2: Thank you that you are faithful when I'm unfaithful. You're
Speaker 2: consistent when I'm inconsistent. Thank You that when I come
Speaker 2: and I humble myself to you, and I admit what
Speaker 2: I've done wrong, and I admit my rebellion. You don't
Speaker 2: punish me, but you forgive me, and you wrap me
Speaker 2: in your embrace. God, we ask you to work in
Speaker 2: our hearts and lives. If you've never invited Christ to
Speaker 2: your life, said Jesus Christ, I ask you to come
Speaker 2: into my heart and life right now. Make yourself real
Speaker 2: to me. I want to learn to trust you, and
Speaker 2: I want you to be the manager. Dear Jesus Christ,
Speaker 2: the manager of my life. And I pray this humbly
Speaker 2: in your name. Amen.
