Shield 29 00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:40.959 I believe it's in the Earth. So I'll be letting 30 00:01:40.959 --> 00:01:43.319 you guys know where you guys can find that video 31 00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:47.280 when it comes out.

So praise God for allowing 34 00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:58.040 me to be on these bigger shows. So his podcast 35 00:01:58.400 --> 00:02:01.200 is if you look up Apollo the Original, that's what 36 00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:03.000 it is on YouTube, so you'll see me on there. 37 00:02:03.400 --> 00:02:08.039 I've done biblical cosmology, I've done Genesis six, Nepheline, I've 38 00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:11.520 done a show on high school and college secret societies, 39 00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:14.479 and also now I've done a show on there a 40 00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:18.159 Young Earth creation. So I just go verse by verse 41 00:02:18.159 --> 00:02:20.319 through the Bible of why I believe the Earth is 42 00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:23.800 young a little bit of scientific proof as well, but 43 00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:26.080 not so much kind of stick to the word of God, 44 00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:26.280 you know. 45 00:02:26.919 --> 00:02:28.319 And it was a really good show. 46 00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:30.120 I had a good time with him, and it's my 47 00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:33.080 fourth show with him, and I drive all the way 48 00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:35.199 down to LA and do like a live show, so 49 00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:37.360 you'll see me live there, and that way you guys 50 00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:39.080 can see my face and see what I look like 51 00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:41.199 if you guys are used to seeing me on audio, 52 00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:44.639 so obviously those when this is on my YouTube in 53 00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:47.120 my channel, this will be long gone. This will be 54 00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:50.240 like a while since before I put this out on 55 00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:52.639 my show, you know.

Okay, 62 00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:16.520 so let me jump to my other notes so I 63 00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:21.120 can give a quick introduction to First Chronicles chapter four. 64 00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:23.919 Let me do that real quick. 65 00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:25.680 Al right, here we go. 66 00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:31.000 We are there, So First Chronicles four delves deeper into 67 00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:34.840 the genealogies of the tribes of Judah and Simeon, displaying 68 00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:38.680 a vivid picture of Israel's lineage. This chapter also introduces 69 00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:43.120 us to the memorable character Jabe Jabez, whose earnest prayer 70 00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:45.800 to God stands as a testament to the power of 71 00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:51.199 faith and fervent requests to the Almighty. All right, so 72 00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:53.280 let me just hop to my teaching points here so 73 00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:56.120 I know where I'm at, and then I'll also hop 74 00:03:56.159 --> 00:03:58.800 to my other notes and hopefully you guys have been 75 00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:02.599 having a blessed week.

You know, the more people 99 00:05:17.519 --> 00:05:20.160 that are there, the more people get to listen to 100 00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:20.959 the Bible studies. 101 00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:22.120 So that's what I like. 102 00:05:22.199 --> 00:05:23.800 So let's go ahead and start and get to the 103 00:05:23.839 --> 00:05:28.279 real interesting and uh information that we need. Let's go 104 00:05:28.319 --> 00:05:32.800 to the Bible. So the family of Judah. The sons 105 00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:38.480 of Judah were Perez, has Ron, Karmi, Her and Sho 106 00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:43.920 Baal and Rhea, the son of Sabal Begot, Jehaf and 107 00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:49.240 Jahaf Begot whom I and Lahad. These were the families 108 00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:53.240 of the zol rights. These were the sons of the 109 00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:59.040 father of Eatam, Jezreel, Ishma and Idbash, and the name 110 00:05:59.079 --> 00:06:04.920 of his sister was Hazel Pony, and Paniel was the 111 00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:09.360 father of Godour and Iszi, father of Hushash. These were 112 00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:13.120 the sons of her the firstborn of Ephrathan and the 113 00:06:13.160 --> 00:06:17.560 father of Bethlehem. And Assure, the father of Takoi, had 114 00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:27.279 twelve wives, Helah and Norah, Narah, bore Azam, Ajuzam, Heptor, Timmony, 115 00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:33.360 and hash Tie. These were the sons of Narah. The 116 00:06:33.399 --> 00:06:39.639 sons of Heilah were Zorath, Zohar, Zohar, and Ethan and Cosby, 117 00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:46.040 got A, Nube Zoba, and the families of Ahre Arah 118 00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:51.720 Hell the sons of Harum now Jabez, who was more 119 00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:54.360 honorable than his brothers, and his mother called his name 120 00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:59.120 Jabez because saying because I bore him in pain. And 121 00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:01.839 Jabez called on God of Israel, saying, Oh, that you 122 00:07:01.839 --> 00:07:05.199 would bless me indeed and enlarge my territory, that your 123 00:07:05.240 --> 00:07:07.480 hand would be with me, and that you would keep 124 00:07:07.480 --> 00:07:10.160 me from evil, that I may not cause pain. So 125 00:07:10.279 --> 00:07:16.279 God granted him what he requested. That's pretty awesome. Chalub, 126 00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:20.439 the brother of Shuna Begat Mahir, who was the father 127 00:07:20.519 --> 00:07:27.120 of Eshton and Eshton Begat Bethrafah beth Rafah Peziah and 128 00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:33.000 tint Tahina, the father of Ernash. These were the men 129 00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:35.639 of Rakha. Okay, we're going all the way to chapter 130 00:07:35.680 --> 00:07:38.560 twenty three or Diverse twenty three. Okay, so actually, you 131 00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:40.040 know what, let me stop right there. There's actually some 132 00:07:40.079 --> 00:07:41.839 notes I I could do real quick, so we can 133 00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:43.759 add some flavor to this. 134 00:07:43.800 --> 00:07:44.160 All right. 135 00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:48.680 So the sif the significance of genealogies, genealogies in the Bible, 136 00:07:48.759 --> 00:07:53.000 such as those in First Chronicles four underscore then continuity 137 00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:56.040 of God's promise through generations. They remind us of God's 138 00:07:56.040 --> 00:07:59.240 faithfulness to his covenant people. All right, So let's go 139 00:07:59.279 --> 00:08:04.240 ahead and check what it says here. It's probably similar 140 00:08:04.240 --> 00:08:07.040 to what they were talking about on the last show 141 00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:10.360 on the first very first Chronicles one. But genealogies in 142 00:08:10.399 --> 00:08:13.040 the Bible serve as more than historical records. They were 143 00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:16.879 integral to the understanding, the understanding the unfolding of God's 144 00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:21.120 redemptive plan throughout scripture. These genealogical lists, found in both 145 00:08:21.519 --> 00:08:24.600 the Old and New Testaments, provide a framework for tracing 146 00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:28.519 the lineage of key Biblical figures and fulfillment of divine promises. 147 00:08:29.399 --> 00:08:33.440 Also it's good because if you go back in time, 148 00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:36.360 then you can you can find out how long these 149 00:08:36.399 --> 00:08:38.639 people lived, and you can find out how old the 150 00:08:38.720 --> 00:08:43.120 earth is. Okay, because Adam was created on day six, right, 151 00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:46.600 so obviously day one, day two, day three, day four, 152 00:08:46.679 --> 00:08:50.080 day five, day six, Adam is born, you get his genealogy, 153 00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:51.840 you get exactly how old he was. You get a 154 00:08:51.879 --> 00:08:54.759 genealogy from Adam all the way to Jesus. Right, so 155 00:08:54.840 --> 00:08:58.480 we know that the earth is six thousand years old 156 00:08:59.120 --> 00:08:59.679 round about. 157 00:08:59.720 --> 00:09:00.000 Okay. 158 00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:02.480 I'm not gonna say exactly six thousand give you a date, 159 00:09:02.919 --> 00:09:04.519 but according to the Bible. 160 00:09:04.480 --> 00:09:05.240 That's what it is. 161 00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:08.720 And that's why, like in Genesis five, for example, you 162 00:09:08.759 --> 00:09:13.120 get a genealogy of Adam to Abraham. Actually you get 163 00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:16.480 it from Adam to Noah. And then you also get 164 00:09:17.000 --> 00:09:20.480 genealogies in the New Testament from Adam all the way 165 00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:24.279 back up to Jesus and Luke. Right. And Adam it 166 00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:27.960 actually says that he's the son of God, okay, because 167 00:09:27.960 --> 00:09:31.919 he was created directly from God, which is very interesting. 168 00:09:31.960 --> 00:09:34.320 So that's why they say Jesus is the second Adam, 169 00:09:34.720 --> 00:09:38.720 because Jesus is the son of God. Right, Adam is 170 00:09:38.799 --> 00:09:41.799 a son of God. So Jesus is the son of God, right, 171 00:09:42.200 --> 00:09:45.440 so he's like the second atom, so he gets born 172 00:09:45.480 --> 00:09:48.960 into this world, right, God in the flesh doesn't sin 173 00:09:49.039 --> 00:09:52.159 at all, like Adam made that mistake. So it's all 174 00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:54.799 about like a redemptive plan. So the whole thing of 175 00:09:55.000 --> 00:10:00.799 the whole importance of these genealogies. Besides it's just the 176 00:10:00.960 --> 00:10:04.039 redemptive plan and everything that this said here, it's also 177 00:10:04.399 --> 00:10:06.120 good because you can go all the way back to 178 00:10:06.200 --> 00:10:09.240 Adam and find out how old the earth is, you know, 179 00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:12.480 because the earth was created on day three. Adam is 180 00:10:12.559 --> 00:10:15.360 created on day six. So it's something that I kind 181 00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:18.840 of got into this weekend and it was really really interesting. 182 00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:22.759 But it does assist us on if you believe in 183 00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:26.240 a six day creation like the Bible says, and man 184 00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:28.919 was created on day six, then we can trace back 185 00:10:28.960 --> 00:10:31.919 all the way back to Adam all the way to Jesus. 186 00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:36.399 So it's very interesting. It's good stuff. And we know 187 00:10:36.480 --> 00:10:38.360 exactly how much time obviously when Jesus is on the 188 00:10:38.440 --> 00:10:40.559 earth till now, so we can kind of add those 189 00:10:40.559 --> 00:10:43.200 together and it comes out roughly about six thousand years, 190 00:10:44.039 --> 00:10:46.960 so it's really it's really awesome. Stuff, so we have that, 191 00:10:47.039 --> 00:10:48.360 and I don't want to get too much into the 192 00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:50.960 other part because I did believe that on my teaching 193 00:10:51.000 --> 00:10:52.919 points last time it was there, so I don't want 194 00:10:52.919 --> 00:10:55.639 to repeat everything I said there. So let's go ahead 195 00:10:55.679 --> 00:10:58.759 and check out if I have any other teaching points 196 00:10:58.799 --> 00:11:01.679 before I move on, we could talk about this part. 197 00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:04.759 It says, this chapter focuses on the descendants of Judah, 198 00:11:04.799 --> 00:11:07.759 the tribe from which King David and ultimately Jesus Christ 199 00:11:07.759 --> 00:11:12.960 would come, highlighting the importance of lineage of God's redemptive plan. Well, 200 00:11:12.960 --> 00:11:14.600 look a little bit about the tribe of Judah, so 201 00:11:14.639 --> 00:11:16.879 we know what we're reading. The tribe of Judah holds 202 00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:20.159 a significant place in biblical history and theology, being one 203 00:11:20.159 --> 00:11:22.399 of the twelve tribes of Israel. Judah was the fourth 204 00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:25.120 son of Jacob and Leah, and his descendants formed the 205 00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:27.480 tribe that would become central to the narrative of the 206 00:11:27.519 --> 00:11:31.840 Israelites ancestry in early history. Judah was born to Jacob 207 00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:34.879 and Leah, as recorded in Genesis twenty nine thirty five, 208 00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:39.240 And she conceived again and Boora's son, and she said, 209 00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:42.039 this time I will praise the Lord. Therefore she named 210 00:11:42.120 --> 00:11:46.279 him Judah. The name Judah means praise, reflecting Leah's gratitude 211 00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:49.919 to God. Judah's early life is marked by his involvement 212 00:11:49.960 --> 00:11:53.559 in the sale of his brother Joseph into slavery Genesis 213 00:11:53.600 --> 00:11:56.480 thirty seven twenty six through twenty seven, an act that 214 00:11:56.480 --> 00:11:59.960 would later lead to profound transformation in his character. 215 00:12:01.080 --> 00:12:02.200 Blessings in prophecy. 216 00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:07.000 Jacob's blessing over Judah and Genesis forty nine eight through 217 00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:10.679 twelve is pivotal as it sets the states for Judah's future. 218 00:12:10.720 --> 00:12:14.600 Promise Judah, your brother shall praise you. Your hands shall 219 00:12:14.639 --> 00:12:17.200 be on the neck of your enemies. Your father's son 220 00:12:17.240 --> 00:12:20.440 shall bow down to you. The blessing includes the prophecy 221 00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:23.279 of the scepter, not departing from Judah, indicating a royal 222 00:12:23.360 --> 00:12:27.120 lineage that would culminate in the Davidic dynasty and ultimately 223 00:12:27.519 --> 00:12:31.080 the Messiah. Territory and leadership, the tribe of Judah was 224 00:12:31.080 --> 00:12:33.759 allotted a significant portion of land in the southern part 225 00:12:33.799 --> 00:12:38.519 of Canaan, as detailed in Joshua fifteen. This territory included Jerusalem, 226 00:12:38.600 --> 00:12:42.559 which would later become the political and spiritual center of Israel. 227 00:12:42.840 --> 00:12:45.559 The leadership role of Judah is further emphasized during the 228 00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:48.519 period of the Judges, where the tribe often took the 229 00:12:48.600 --> 00:12:52.919 lead in military campaigns Judges one, Verses one through two. 230 00:12:53.080 --> 00:12:56.480 Davidic dynasty, The most notable figure for the Tribe of 231 00:12:56.559 --> 00:12:59.960 Judah is King David, who established Jerusalem as the case 232 00:13:00.039 --> 00:13:03.080 capital and brought the ark of the Covenant there. David's 233 00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:05.720 reign is seen as as the golden age for Israel 234 00:13:06.279 --> 00:13:09.039 and God's covenant with David and two Samuel seven twelve 235 00:13:09.039 --> 00:13:12.720 through sixteen promised that his descendants would rule forever, a 236 00:13:12.759 --> 00:13:16.279 promised Christians belief was fulfilled in Jesus Christ, who is 237 00:13:16.759 --> 00:13:19.679 often referred to as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. 238 00:13:19.759 --> 00:13:24.279 Revelation five, verse five Exile. In return, the Kingdom of 239 00:13:24.360 --> 00:13:30.240 Judah compromised primarily the tribes compromising primarily the tribes of 240 00:13:30.279 --> 00:13:34.000 Judah and Benjamin survived longer than the Northern Kingdom of Israel. However, 241 00:13:34.080 --> 00:13:36.879 it eventually fell to Babylon in five eighty six BC, 242 00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:40.799 leading to the Babylonian Exile. The return from exile, as 243 00:13:40.879 --> 00:13:43.679 chronicled in the books of Ezra and Naomiah, saw the 244 00:13:43.679 --> 00:13:46.919 re establishment of Judah as a province under Persian rule, 245 00:13:47.320 --> 00:13:50.879 with a focus on rebuilding the temple and restoring religious 246 00:13:50.919 --> 00:13:56.960 practices Messianic expectations. The tribes' association with the Messiah as 247 00:13:57.000 --> 00:14:00.120 a central threem in both Jewish and Christian eschatology. The 248 00:14:00.159 --> 00:14:02.960 expectation of a ruler from Judah's line is rooted in 249 00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:06.320 the prophecies of Isaiah and Micah, and Christians see their 250 00:14:06.320 --> 00:14:10.000 fulfillment in the New Testament accounts of Jesus' genealogy, which 251 00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:13.559 traces lineage back to David and Judah Matthew one, verses 252 00:14:13.559 --> 00:14:18.360 one through three. Cultural and religious influence throughout history, the 253 00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:22.840 tribes of Judah has been synonymous with Jewish identity. The 254 00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:26.840 term jew itself is derived from Judah, reflecting the tribe's 255 00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:32.559 lasting influence. Judah's legacy is evident in the religious, cultural, 256 00:14:32.639 --> 00:14:35.399 and political life of Israel and continuous to be a 257 00:14:35.480 --> 00:14:38.399 focal continues to be a focal point in biblical studies 258 00:14:38.759 --> 00:14:43.399 and theological discourse. All right, so all right, and then 259 00:14:43.480 --> 00:14:46.320 God's responds to prayer that was in verse ten The 260 00:14:46.360 --> 00:14:49.279 passest notes in God granted his requests first Chronicles four, 261 00:14:49.360 --> 00:14:53.080 Verse ten. This demonstrates God's willingness to respond to sincere 262 00:14:53.200 --> 00:14:58.240 and faith filled prayers. And this is kind of just 263 00:14:58.320 --> 00:15:00.639 talking about prayer here. Prayer is a fundament aspect of 264 00:15:00.679 --> 00:15:03.759 the Christian faith, serving as means by communication between. 265 00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:04.399 Believers in God. 266 00:15:04.759 --> 00:15:07.960 The Bible provides numerous examples of teachings how God responds 267 00:15:07.960 --> 00:15:11.559 to prayer of his people. This entry explores the nature 268 00:15:11.559 --> 00:15:15.480 of God's response to prayer, drawing from various scriptural passages 269 00:15:15.519 --> 00:15:20.799 and themes God's attendatives to prayer the Biblical. The Bible 270 00:15:20.960 --> 00:15:25.440 assures believers that God is attentive to their prayers. In 271 00:15:25.480 --> 00:15:27.639 one Peter three, verse twelve, it is written for the 272 00:15:27.679 --> 00:15:29.919 eyes of the Lord or on the righteous, and his 273 00:15:30.039 --> 00:15:33.360 ears are inclined to their prayer. This verse emphasizes that 274 00:15:33.399 --> 00:15:37.960 God is not distant or indifferent, but actively listens to 275 00:15:38.000 --> 00:15:40.440 the prayers of those who seek Him with the righteous heart. 276 00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:45.000 Conditions of answered prayer. Scripture outlines certain conditions under which 277 00:15:45.039 --> 00:15:48.240 God responds to prayer. Faith is a crucial element, as 278 00:15:48.240 --> 00:15:51.360 seen in James one verses six through seven. But like 279 00:15:51.440 --> 00:15:55.039 him asking faith without doubting, because he who doubts is 280 00:15:55.120 --> 00:15:57.240 like a wave of the sea blown and tossed to 281 00:15:57.279 --> 00:16:01.320 the wind. That man sh should not expect to receive 282 00:16:01.399 --> 00:16:04.639 anything from the Lord. Additionally, prayers should align with God's will, 283 00:16:04.879 --> 00:16:12.000 as one John five fourteen states, and this is the 284 00:16:12.039 --> 00:16:14.679 confidence that we have before him, if we ask anything 285 00:16:14.720 --> 00:16:18.039 according to his will, he hears us God's timing and 286 00:16:18.080 --> 00:16:21.799 wisdom God responds to prayer. God's response to prayers often 287 00:16:21.879 --> 00:16:25.840 characterized by his perfect timing and wisdom. Ecclesiastes three, verse 288 00:16:25.840 --> 00:16:29.480 eleven reminds believers that he has made everything beautiful in 289 00:16:29.559 --> 00:16:34.320 his time. While humans may desire immediate answers, God's timing 290 00:16:34.360 --> 00:16:38.480 is always purposeful and aligned with his greater plan. Isaiah 291 00:16:38.559 --> 00:16:41.399 fifty five, verses eight through nine further illustrates this, stating, 292 00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:44.320 from my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither your ways 293 00:16:44.480 --> 00:16:46.960 my ways, declares the Lord. For as the heavens are 294 00:16:47.039 --> 00:16:49.279 higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than 295 00:16:49.320 --> 00:16:53.519 your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. Different forms 296 00:16:53.519 --> 00:16:56.679 of response. God's response to prayer can take various forms. 297 00:16:56.720 --> 00:16:59.600 Sometimes he grants the specific requests, as seen in the 298 00:16:59.639 --> 00:17:03.120 account out of Hannah in First Samuel one twenty seven, 299 00:17:03.480 --> 00:17:06.519 where she testifies, I prayed for this boy, and since 300 00:17:06.519 --> 00:17:09.519 the Lord Yahweh has granted me what I have asked him. 301 00:17:09.799 --> 00:17:12.319 At this time, God may provide strength in peace rather 302 00:17:12.400 --> 00:17:16.000 than at other times. God may provide strength and peace 303 00:17:16.119 --> 00:17:19.599 rather than a direct answer, as described in Philippians four, 304 00:17:19.680 --> 00:17:23.400 verses six through seven. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, 305 00:17:23.440 --> 00:17:27.160 by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your request to God. 306 00:17:27.559 --> 00:17:30.400 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will 307 00:17:30.400 --> 00:17:34.359 guard your hearts and your minds. In Christ Jesus, the 308 00:17:34.519 --> 00:17:39.400 role of persistence. Persistence in prayer is encouraged throughout scripture. 309 00:17:40.039 --> 00:17:44.400 Jesus teaches this principle, and the parable of the Persistent Widow. 310 00:17:44.720 --> 00:17:48.039 Luke eighteen one through eight emphasizes the importance of continual 311 00:17:48.119 --> 00:17:52.240 prayer and not losing heart. Similarly, in Matthew seven, verse seven, 312 00:17:52.359 --> 00:17:55.559 Jesus instructs, ask and it will be given to you. 313 00:17:55.799 --> 00:17:58.599 Seek and you will find. Knock and the door will 314 00:17:58.599 --> 00:18:01.880 be open to you. The impact of sin sin can 315 00:18:01.960 --> 00:18:05.480 hinder God's response to prayer. Isaiah fifty nine one through 316 00:18:05.480 --> 00:18:08.119 two warrens, surely the arm of the Lord Yahweh is 317 00:18:08.160 --> 00:18:12.240 too short to save, nor his ears too dull to hear. 318 00:18:12.759 --> 00:18:19.240 But your inquiries, your iniquities, sorry, not inquiries, your iniquities 319 00:18:19.279 --> 00:18:22.599 have separated you from your God. Your sins have hidden 320 00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:25.119 his face from you, and that he will not hear. 321 00:18:25.319 --> 00:18:28.400 Confession and repentance are essential for restoring the relationship with 322 00:18:28.480 --> 00:18:29.319 God and. 323 00:18:29.400 --> 00:18:30.839 Ensuring that prayers are heard. 324 00:18:31.079 --> 00:18:34.559 Wow Intercessory prayer, or praying on behalf of others, is 325 00:18:34.599 --> 00:18:39.200 a powerful aspect aspect of prayer that God honors. James five, 326 00:18:39.279 --> 00:18:42.119 verse sixteen encourages believers to confess your sins to one 327 00:18:42.119 --> 00:18:44.759 another and pray for one another that you may be healed. 328 00:18:45.319 --> 00:18:50.240 The prayer of a righteous man has great power to prevail. 329 00:18:50.359 --> 00:18:54.319 The Bible provides examples of intercessory prayers, such as Moses 330 00:18:54.400 --> 00:18:58.279 interceding for the Israelites in Exodus thirty two eleven through fourteen, 331 00:18:58.640 --> 00:19:01.680 demonstrating God's willingness to respond to the prayers of his 332 00:19:01.799 --> 00:19:06.559 people for others. Conclusion, the Bible presents a comprehensive view 333 00:19:06.559 --> 00:19:11.160 of God's response to prayer, highlighting his attentiveness and the 334 00:19:11.200 --> 00:19:14.839 attentiveness the conditions were answered prayer, and the various forms 335 00:19:14.839 --> 00:19:18.839 his responses may take. Through faith, persistence, and alignment with 336 00:19:18.920 --> 00:19:22.359 his will, believers can trust in God's perfect wisdom and 337 00:19:22.400 --> 00:19:24.359 timing in answering prayers. 338 00:19:25.039 --> 00:19:25.720 So there we go. 339 00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:29.079 Just wanted to go over those nice little teaching points 340 00:19:29.079 --> 00:19:33.440 in there to add some flavor to these genealogies. Let's 341 00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:41.279 go ahead and jump right back into verse thirteen. The 342 00:19:41.319 --> 00:19:47.519 sons of Kanas were Atheniel and SARAHI are Sarai.
