\nBrian, thank you for joining us <\/p>\n

\n00:00:19,300 –> 00:00:21,900
\nthis week.
\nOn this podcast, we select one <\/p>\n

4
\n00:00:21,900 –> 00:00:26,400
\ntaco week to help us get the
\nBible in our daily news feed. <\/p>\n

5
\n00:00:26,500 –> 00:00:29,300
\nWe post a new episode of the
\nstart of each week with a short <\/p>\n

6
\n00:00:29,300 –> 00:00:31,400
\nintro before.
\nHand to kind of set the stage <\/p>\n

7
\n00:00:31,400 –> 00:00:33,600
\nfor the talk.
\nYou’re about to listen to and <\/p>\n

8
\n00:00:33,600 –> 00:00:36,300
\nnow let’s talk more about this
\nweek’s talk. <\/p>\n

9
\n00:00:51,200 –> 00:00:53,500
\nWelcome to the good
\nchristadelphians talks podcast. <\/p>\n

10
\n00:00:53,900 –> 00:00:57,900
\nThis is brother Brian.
\nThis week’s talk is a Class by a<\/p>\n

11
\n00:00:57,908 –> 00:01:00,500
\nbrother.
\nJohn poeple that’s called <\/p>\n

12
\n00:01:00,700 –> 00:01:04,300
\nlearning to pray.
\nIt’s the last class in a series <\/p>\n

13
\n00:01:04,300 –> 00:01:08,800
\nof four under the theme growing
\ncloser to God that was <\/p>\n

14
\n00:01:08,800 –> 00:01:13,400
\noriginally given at the New
\nZealand Bible School in 2015 and<\/p>\n

15
\n00:01:13,600 –> 00:01:16,200
\nit was hard to choose which one
\nto post. <\/p>\n

16
\n00:01:16,600 –> 00:01:20,500
\nAs all four are very good.
\nMy wife, Rachel actually had me <\/p>\n

17
\n00:01:20,500 –> 00:01:24,500
\nlisten to Third class, which is
\nabout giving to the poor. <\/p>\n

18
\n00:01:26,000 –> 00:01:30,400
\nJamie listen to it a few years
\nago and it really stuck with us.<\/p>\n

19
\n00:01:30,400 –> 00:01:36,000
\nAnd as changed my perspective on
\nhow to view those who are less <\/p>\n

20
\n00:01:36,000 –> 00:01:40,600
\nfortunate and need of Grace, But
\nthen the guy around listening to<\/p>\n

21
\n00:01:40,600 –> 00:01:43,700
\nall the classes and I was hooked
\non the first class which is all <\/p>\n

22
\n00:01:43,700 –> 00:01:46,200
\nabout roof and the showing of
\nMercy. <\/p>\n

23
\n00:01:47,100 –> 00:01:49,900
\nBut ultimately I settled on this
\none because I felt that the <\/p>\n

24
\n00:01:49,908 –> 00:01:54,900
\nstart of a new year, this was
\nthe best message for all of us <\/p>\n

25
\n00:01:54,900 –> 00:01:58,100
\nto consider.
\nLearning to pray. <\/p>\n

26
\n00:01:59,400 –> 00:02:03,500
\nIt’s not a how to step by step
\nbreakdown. <\/p>\n

27
\n00:02:03,900 –> 00:02:08,000
\nSo much as brother, John asked
\nthe opening question. <\/p>\n

28
\n00:02:08,600 –> 00:02:13,300
\nWhy pray?
\nAnd then elaborates on the only <\/p>\n

29
\n00:02:13,300 –> 00:02:19,000
\ngood answer that we can all
\nagree on. because Jesus prayed, <\/p>\n

30
\n00:02:21,300 –> 00:02:26,000
\nThe part that grabbed me by the
\nheart and that I anticipate will<\/p>\n

31
\n00:02:26,000 –> 00:02:28,900
\nbe the most memorable for you as
\nwell as near the end. <\/p>\n

32
\n00:02:29,300 –> 00:02:34,200
\nWhen he reads to Anonymous
\nletters about people’s prayer <\/p>\n

33
\n00:02:34,200 –> 00:02:40,900
\nlife experiences and the stories
\nare very jarring and raw and <\/p>\n

34
\n00:02:40,900 –> 00:02:45,400
\nPowerful.
\nAnd my hope is that it will help<\/p>\n

35
\n00:02:45,700 –> 00:02:48,800
\nbring out our shared sense of
\nhumanity. <\/p>\n

36
\n00:02:50,000 –> 00:02:54,200
\nAnd our need to pray with
\nurgency and purpose for our <\/p>\n

37
\n00:02:54,200 –> 00:03:02,000
\nLord’s return. maybe this year
\nin Jerusalem, The whole series <\/p>\n

38
\n00:03:02,000 –> 00:03:04,800
\nis being loaded into the
\nextended podcast today as well. <\/p>\n

39
\n00:03:06,100 –> 00:03:09,800
\nSo as always, we hope this
\nstrengthens your faith and <\/p>\n

40
\n00:03:09,800 –> 00:03:13,900
\nbrightens your day for their
\nJohn poeple from the series <\/p>\n

41
\n00:03:14,200 –> 00:03:20,000
\ngrowing closer to God.
\nThis is learning to pray your <\/p>\n

42
\n00:03:20,000 –> 00:03:21,500
\nevening.
\nOnce more my dear brothers and <\/p>\n

43
\n00:03:21,500 –> 00:03:26,800
\nsisters I do offer an apology
\nconsidering its come this late <\/p>\n

44
\n00:03:26,800 –> 00:03:29,900
\nin the week, but I should
\nexplain all these slides can be <\/p>\n

45
\n00:03:29,900 –> 00:03:33,300
\nmade available to you.
\nNot only brother tone is <\/p>\n

46
\n00:03:33,700 –> 00:03:36,800
\ncleverly, encrypting them along
\nthe DVDs. <\/p>\n

47
\n00:03:36,800 –> 00:03:39,200
\nBut if you have your own flash
\ndrive, I can happily give you <\/p>\n

48
\n00:03:39,500 –> 00:03:41,300
\nany of the PowerPoint series,
\nyou need. <\/p>\n

49
\n00:03:41,300 –> 00:03:43,300
\nSo don’t feel that you have to
\ntake notes to get the <\/p>\n

50
\n00:03:43,308 –> 00:03:46,800
\ninformation, but if you like to
\ntake notes, obviously please <\/p>\n

51
\n00:03:46,800 –> 00:03:49,600
\ncontinue to do.
\nSo this is the last talk mayor <\/p>\n

52
\n00:03:49,600 –> 00:03:52,500
\nof this series of for growing
\ncloser to God. <\/p>\n

53
\n00:03:52,500 –> 00:03:56,100
\nAnd now we’re going to look Look
\nat the best example of all. <\/p>\n

54
\n00:03:56,100 –> 00:03:58,200
\nWe’re going to look at the Lord.
\nJesus Christ. <\/p>\n

55
\n00:03:58,500 –> 00:04:01,200
\nWe don’t therefore look at his
\nlife as we do at the others, to <\/p>\n

56
\n00:04:01,200 –> 00:04:05,500
\nsee how he closed the Gap with a
\nby overcoming a shortcoming that<\/p>\n

57
\n00:04:05,500 –> 00:04:08,800
\nhe had.
\nBecause it’s not, it’s not <\/p>\n

58
\n00:04:08,800 –> 00:04:11,600
\npossible for us to tag
\nshortcomings in the development <\/p>\n

59
\n00:04:11,600 –> 00:04:14,200
\nof the Lord, Jesus Christ.
\nBut if there’s something, I <\/p>\n

60
\n00:04:14,200 –> 00:04:18,899
\nthink we’re Jesus, really stands
\nahead and shows us a way in <\/p>\n

61
\n00:04:18,899 –> 00:04:22,500
\nwhich we can all improve.
\nIt’s about learning to pray. <\/p>\n

62
\n00:04:23,400 –> 00:04:25,900
\nI’m not suggesting you don’t
\nknow how to pray but how to <\/p>\n

63
\n00:04:25,900 –> 00:04:29,000
\ndevelop one’s prayer?
\nLife prayer. <\/p>\n

64
\n00:04:29,000 –> 00:04:32,700
\nI speak personally, but perhaps
\nI speak for more than just one <\/p>\n

65
\n00:04:33,000 –> 00:04:36,000
\nprayer, is a very difficult
\nactivity. <\/p>\n

66
\n00:04:36,300 –> 00:04:39,000
\nIt’s very difficult to know the
\npoint. <\/p>\n

67
\n00:04:39,000 –> 00:04:42,900
\nThe reason the correct manner of
\nconstruction, you already know <\/p>\n

68
\n00:04:42,900 –> 00:04:45,700
\nthat the Lord God knows
\neverything you think and feel <\/p>\n

69
\n00:04:45,700 –> 00:04:48,900
\neven before you express it.
\nSo you wonder even about its <\/p>\n

70
\n00:04:48,900 –> 00:04:53,000
\nvalue so it is a very difficult
\nthing but I have every <\/p>\n

71
\n00:04:53,000 –> 00:04:54,800
\nconfidence Confidence.
\nThat if a disciple will really <\/p>\n

72
\n00:04:54,800 –> 00:04:58,200
\njust say to me, I want to be a
\nbetter disciple. <\/p>\n

73
\n00:04:58,200 –> 00:05:01,600
\nWhat should I work on almost
\ncertainly, the idea answer would<\/p>\n

74
\n00:05:01,600 –> 00:05:05,700
\nbe improve your prayer life.
\nI just feel that that’s likely <\/p>\n

75
\n00:05:05,700 –> 00:05:09,500
\nto be the case, a very difficult
\nanswer, but perhaps the <\/p>\n

76
\n00:05:09,500 –> 00:05:13,700
\nnecessary one.
\nWhy pray? <\/p>\n

77
\n00:05:16,300 –> 00:05:19,300
\nStraight question.
\nWhy pray? <\/p>\n

78
\n00:05:20,000 –> 00:05:22,000
\nI think many good answers.
\nCould be given? <\/p>\n

79
\n00:05:22,600 –> 00:05:30,400
\nWhat might you suggest?
\nTo talk to God, and that’s good.<\/p>\n

80
\n00:05:31,500 –> 00:05:35,600
\nAnd yet, you know, if I were to
\nbe adversarial, I would say. <\/p>\n

81
\n00:05:35,600 –> 00:05:39,000
\nBut God already knows what I
\nthink, but you’re still correct.<\/p>\n

82
\n00:05:39,600 –> 00:05:50,900
\nI don’t dispute that.
\nAnd perhaps, I think it’s a <\/p>\n

83
\n00:05:50,907 –> 00:05:53,100
\nreally good answer.
\nIf you didn’t hear Brother Paul.<\/p>\n

84
\n00:05:53,300 –> 00:05:57,300
\nThe idea is that in articulating
\nand vocalizing your own <\/p>\n

85
\n00:05:57,300 –> 00:05:59,700
\nthoughts, you begin to
\ncrystallize them. <\/p>\n

86
\n00:05:59,700 –> 00:06:02,400
\nIn other words, yes.
\nGod knew what you were thinking <\/p>\n

87
\n00:06:02,400 –> 00:06:05,900
\nbefore you prayed, but you might
\nnot have done. <\/p>\n

88
\n00:06:06,500 –> 00:06:09,200
\nAnd as you actually begin to
\nfind words or at least feelings <\/p>\n

89
\n00:06:09,200 –> 00:06:12,900
\nin which to express that prayer,
\nwe learn to refine our feelings <\/p>\n

90
\n00:06:12,900 –> 00:06:16,200
\nand understand more about what
\nit is that we really want. <\/p>\n

91
\n00:06:18,100 –> 00:06:21,000
\nWe’re acknowledging God, we
\nacknowledge In his presence. <\/p>\n

92
\n00:06:21,000 –> 00:06:23,600
\nYes, we’re acknowledging.
\nThat we know that he’s there and<\/p>\n

93
\n00:06:23,600 –> 00:06:27,400
\nhere’s a very simple answer that
\nattracts me, why pray? <\/p>\n

94
\n00:06:28,400 –> 00:06:34,500
\nBecause Jesus did We’re told he
\nis our example and if his <\/p>\n

95
\n00:06:34,500 –> 00:06:37,900
\nresidence with the almighty
\nfather was even greater than <\/p>\n

96
\n00:06:37,900 –> 00:06:40,700
\nours.
\nI his distance between him and <\/p>\n

97
\n00:06:40,700 –> 00:06:44,200
\nhis father was less than ours.
\nThen God knew what Jesus was <\/p>\n

98
\n00:06:44,200 –> 00:06:47,700
\nthinking, even more, if it’s not
\na foolish statement, then God <\/p>\n

99
\n00:06:47,700 –> 00:06:51,500
\nknows what we’re thinking.
\nAnd yet, Jesus prayed, and if <\/p>\n

100
\n00:06:51,500 –> 00:06:54,300
\nJesus did it, we can trust.
\nIt’s the right thing. <\/p>\n

101
\n00:06:54,400 –> 00:06:58,200
\nRemember, one of the charges we
\nhave in discipleship is become <\/p>\n

102
\n00:06:58,200 –> 00:07:01,200
\nlike Jesus.
\nWell, to become like Jesus. <\/p>\n

103
\n00:07:01,300 –> 00:07:04,200
\nIsis.
\nWe do what Jesus did. <\/p>\n

104
\n00:07:05,500 –> 00:07:09,800
\nNot just in appearance, but more
\nin actual lifestyle, we’re going<\/p>\n

105
\n00:07:09,800 –> 00:07:14,000
\nto try a little bit later on to
\nbecome like the 1960s that’s all<\/p>\n

106
\n00:07:14,300 –> 00:07:17,500
\nrather fun and realistically the
\nonly thing we can modify in an <\/p>\n

107
\n00:07:17,500 –> 00:07:19,400
\nevening, isn’t it?
\nOur outward appearance so we’ll <\/p>\n

108
\n00:07:19,400 –> 00:07:22,700
\nprobably be modifying our dress
\ncode and our outward appearance <\/p>\n

109
\n00:07:22,700 –> 00:07:26,400
\nto become like the 1960s.
\nThat’s just an external match. <\/p>\n

110
\n00:07:26,400 –> 00:07:29,900
\nBut if we’re going to become
\nlike Jesus, we become like Jesus<\/p>\n

111
\n00:07:30,200 –> 00:07:35,200
\nby doing what Jesus did the news
\nabout Jesus spread all the more <\/p>\n

112
\n00:07:35,400 –> 00:07:38,200
\nSo the crowds of people came to
\nhear him and to be healed of <\/p>\n

113
\n00:07:38,207 –> 00:07:43,000
\ntheir sicknesses but Jesus often
\nI noticed that whether Jesus <\/p>\n

114
\n00:07:43,000 –> 00:07:48,800
\noften withdrew to lonely places
\nand prayed Jesus prayed <\/p>\n

115
\n00:07:49,500 –> 00:07:54,800
\nfrequently do I pray frequently
\nI’m not sure it’s frequently <\/p>\n

116
\n00:07:54,800 –> 00:07:56,900
\nenough.
\nWhy don’t I pray frequently <\/p>\n

117
\n00:07:56,900 –> 00:07:59,400
\nenough?
\nBecause my life is already full <\/p>\n

118
\n00:07:59,400 –> 00:08:03,800
\nof stressful activities that’s
\nperhaps the stupidest answer you<\/p>\n

119
\n00:08:03,800 –> 00:08:05,700
\ncan ever give to a question.
\nIsn’t it? <\/p>\n

120
\n00:08:06,100 –> 00:08:09,100
\nMy life is full of stress, so I
\ndon’t have time to pray. <\/p>\n

121
\n00:08:09,400 –> 00:08:10,800
\nWhat were you hoping prayer
\nwould do? <\/p>\n

122
\n00:08:10,800 –> 00:08:14,100
\nWell, reduce the stress but I
\ndon’t take time to reduce the <\/p>\n

123
\n00:08:14,100 –> 00:08:17,600
\nstress because I’m stressed, you
\nsee? <\/p>\n

124
\n00:08:17,900 –> 00:08:19,600
\nAnd, again, that’s Brother,
\nPaul’s Point. <\/p>\n

125
\n00:08:19,600 –> 00:08:22,200
\nBy the time I say it out loud.
\nI suddenly realized, that’s <\/p>\n

126
\n00:08:22,200 –> 00:08:24,800
\nridiculous.
\nI need to change what I’m doing.<\/p>\n

127
\n00:08:25,700 –> 00:08:29,100
\nJesus was the closest to the
\nfather of closest of all to the <\/p>\n

128
\n00:08:29,100 –> 00:08:32,400
\nfather I and the father are one.
\nHe said, what a beautiful <\/p>\n

129
\n00:08:32,400 –> 00:08:34,900
\nstatement and given doctrinal
\nconcerns. <\/p>\n

130
\n00:08:34,900 –> 00:08:37,799
\nWe often And take that statement
\nand listen to it and say, yes. <\/p>\n

131
\n00:08:37,799 –> 00:08:40,299
\nBut he doesn’t mean, we’ll never
\nmind what he doesn’t mean. <\/p>\n

132
\n00:08:40,700 –> 00:08:43,299
\nLet’s pause for a moment’s
\nreflection amongst those of <\/p>\n

133
\n00:08:43,600 –> 00:08:47,100
\nlike-minded spirit and pause to
\nconsider what he did mean. <\/p>\n

134
\n00:08:47,200 –> 00:08:51,200
\nI and my father are one.
\nI don’t need to add anything. <\/p>\n

135
\n00:08:51,300 –> 00:08:55,200
\nThat’s a beautiful statement.
\nWhy pray? <\/p>\n

136
\n00:08:55,900 –> 00:08:59,700
\nYour kingdom come for example.
\nJesus instructed. <\/p>\n

137
\n00:08:59,700 –> 00:09:02,400
\nHis disciples asked Lord, how
\nshould we pray? <\/p>\n

138
\n00:09:02,400 –> 00:09:06,500
\nAnd he gave them some suggested
\nideas and one of those was your <\/p>\n

139
\n00:09:06,500 –> 00:09:07,500
\nkingdom.
\nCome. <\/p>\n

140
\n00:09:07,800 –> 00:09:11,300
\nI hope we believe that.
\nDo we believe that God’s kingdom<\/p>\n

141
\n00:09:11,300 –> 00:09:14,000
\nwill come?
\nI’m hoping that’s a general. <\/p>\n

142
\n00:09:14,000 –> 00:09:17,500
\nYes, a little quieter than I
\nhoped for but it’s still a form <\/p>\n

143
\n00:09:17,500 –> 00:09:19,900
\nof the sensor will go with that.
\nWill it? <\/p>\n

144
\n00:09:19,900 –> 00:09:22,100
\nCome?
\nYes, we believe it will come <\/p>\n

145
\n00:09:22,700 –> 00:09:26,900
\nbrothers and sisters.
\nWill God’s kingdom, come if I <\/p>\n

146
\n00:09:26,900 –> 00:09:30,400
\ndon’t pray for it.
\nYes. <\/p>\n

147
\n00:09:31,500 –> 00:09:36,300
\nLet me go one step further, will
\nit come if I pray for it, not to<\/p>\n

148
\n00:09:36,300 –> 00:09:39,300
\ncome.
\nYes. <\/p>\n

149
\n00:09:40,700 –> 00:09:44,700
\nSo, why pray?
\nWhy pray for that? <\/p>\n

150
\n00:09:44,700 –> 00:09:46,300
\nThat’s not a case of
\narticulating. <\/p>\n

151
\n00:09:46,300 –> 00:09:48,300
\nMy understanding any better?
\nI already know what the <\/p>\n

152
\n00:09:48,300 –> 00:09:49,700
\nunderstanding is your kingdom
\ncome. <\/p>\n

153
\n00:09:49,700 –> 00:09:52,600
\nIt’s a very direct statement.
\nIt’s not a complex feeling. <\/p>\n

154
\n00:09:53,100 –> 00:09:57,900
\nSo why pray?
\nIt helps our conviction, that’s <\/p>\n

155
\n00:09:57,900 –> 00:09:59,800
\nan excellent answer.
\nWe’re going to come onto that. <\/p>\n

156
\n00:09:59,900 –> 00:10:03,000
\nI think there’s one I’m going to
\ncome to that just directly but <\/p>\n

157
\n00:10:03,000 –> 00:10:08,800
\njust before I come to that one.
\nLet the days may be shortened, <\/p>\n

158
\n00:10:08,800 –> 00:10:12,000
\nwho said that very good.
\nTJ the back there. <\/p>\n

159
\n00:10:12,900 –> 00:10:17,100
\nIt very well may change the
\nspeed at which the kingdom comes<\/p>\n

160
\n00:10:17,500 –> 00:10:18,800
\nthat.
\nThe days may be shortened. <\/p>\n

161
\n00:10:18,800 –> 00:10:22,200
\nHis brother, TJ said there’s
\ngood scriptural evidence. <\/p>\n

162
\n00:10:22,400 –> 00:10:24,700
\nNot only in that promise for
\nsomething that hasn’t yet <\/p>\n

163
\n00:10:24,700 –> 00:10:26,700
\nhappened.
\nBut for the things that did <\/p>\n

164
\n00:10:26,700 –> 00:10:30,000
\nhappen when they were prayed for
\nthat the fervency and the <\/p>\n

165
\n00:10:30,000 –> 00:10:33,300
\nmultitude and the magnitude of
\nprayers offered actually <\/p>\n

166
\n00:10:33,300 –> 00:10:36,700
\naffected the speed at which the
\nanswer arrived. <\/p>\n

167
\n00:10:36,900 –> 00:10:41,700
\nAnd the more people praying
\noften affected the speed at, <\/p>\n

168
\n00:10:41,700 –> 00:10:46,300
\nwhich God’s will played out.
\nAnd I think that’s maybe why one<\/p>\n

169
\n00:10:46,300 –> 00:10:48,300
\nof the reasons it’s said in the
\nscriptures. <\/p>\n

170
\n00:10:48,500 –> 00:10:52,500
\nNo, man knows the day, or the
\nhour or the year when the son of<\/p>\n

171
\n00:10:52,500 –> 00:10:55,600
\nman shall return.
\nAnd I think one of the reasons, <\/p>\n

172
\n00:10:55,600 –> 00:10:58,700
\nno man knows the day is because
\nthe day is not fixed. <\/p>\n

173
\n00:11:00,700 –> 00:11:04,200
\nAnd one of the parameters on
\nwhich it flexes is, how much <\/p>\n

174
\n00:11:04,200 –> 00:11:08,600
\nprayer and how much desire we
\nexpress and that the father <\/p>\n

175
\n00:11:08,600 –> 00:11:14,300
\nhears US Express, Do You Really
\nWant Jesus to come if you do <\/p>\n

176
\n00:11:14,900 –> 00:11:17,200
\npray, pray more frequently for
\nit. <\/p>\n

177
\n00:11:17,200 –> 00:11:19,600
\nPray harder for it and it very
\nwell. <\/p>\n

178
\n00:11:19,600 –> 00:11:23,400
\nAccording to the promises of
\nscripture may come sooner that’s<\/p>\n

179
\n00:11:23,400 –> 00:11:26,000
\nreasonable.
\nEvery time, God speaks about the<\/p>\n

180
\n00:11:26,000 –> 00:11:30,000
\ncoming of the Lord Jesus Christ.
\nHe tends to use the analogy of <\/p>\n

181
\n00:11:30,600 –> 00:11:34,900
\nI’m somehow Vista barley or
\nwheat or anything ask any <\/p>\n

182
\n00:11:34,900 –> 00:11:38,200
\nfarmer.
\nDon’t look at me the closest <\/p>\n

183
\n00:11:38,200 –> 00:11:41,700
\nI’ve got to farming is a
\nroommate growing tomatoes on the<\/p>\n

184
\n00:11:41,700 –> 00:11:47,300
\nwindowsill that’s about as close
\nas it gets but that’s that’s the<\/p>\n

185
\n00:11:47,300 –> 00:11:49,800
\nlimit of my understanding of
\nfarming but even then I gained <\/p>\n

186
\n00:11:49,800 –> 00:11:52,900
\nenough education from that to
\nthink about the coming of the <\/p>\n

187
\n00:11:52,900 –> 00:11:57,400
\nLord Jesus Christ on what day
\nare you going to pick those <\/p>\n

188
\n00:11:57,400 –> 00:12:01,300
\nTomatoes roommate?
\nWell, What did the roommate <\/p>\n

189
\n00:12:01,300 –> 00:12:05,700
\nreply?
\nwhen they’re ready, when the red<\/p>\n

190
\n00:12:05,700 –> 00:12:09,900
\nnot green, And so, who are the
\ntomatoes? <\/p>\n

191
\n00:12:10,700 –> 00:12:16,300
\nThat’s us.
\nOur color dictates the coming of<\/p>\n

192
\n00:12:16,300 –> 00:12:19,200
\nharvest time.
\nSo that’s a very good reason why<\/p>\n

193
\n00:12:19,200 –> 00:12:22,200
\nto pray.
\nIt also changes us, two people <\/p>\n

194
\n00:12:22,200 –> 00:12:25,100
\nhave already commented
\nparticularly to that end. <\/p>\n

195
\n00:12:25,100 –> 00:12:28,300
\nIt changes us.
\nIt increases our desire by <\/p>\n

196
\n00:12:28,300 –> 00:12:32,100
\nmaking our vision more tangible,
\nthe more we picture something, <\/p>\n

197
\n00:12:32,100 –> 00:12:35,300
\neven if it isn’t physically in
\nfront of us, if there’s a <\/p>\n

198
\n00:12:35,308 –> 00:12:40,700
\npicture of it in our mind, then
\nthe more we are attached to it. <\/p>\n

199
\n00:12:40,700 –> 00:12:45,900
\nSo as you You pray for the
\nkingdom paint pictures of it in <\/p>\n

200
\n00:12:45,900 –> 00:12:49,600
\nyour mind think what certain
\nparts of the earth will look <\/p>\n

201
\n00:12:49,600 –> 00:12:52,500
\nlike physically or
\ngeographically, or <\/p>\n

202
\n00:12:52,500 –> 00:12:55,800
\nsocioeconomically, or whatever
\npaint, those pictures and look <\/p>\n

203
\n00:12:55,800 –> 00:12:59,100
\nat those pictures and describe
\nthose pictures in your prayer <\/p>\n

204
\n00:12:59,200 –> 00:13:03,400
\nthat you desire, because then
\nthe picture will make things <\/p>\n

205
\n00:13:03,800 –> 00:13:07,100
\nmore tangible to.
\nYou are, are there any in the <\/p>\n

206
\n00:13:07,100 –> 00:13:10,600
\nroom who have a predilection for
\nchocolate? <\/p>\n

207
\n00:13:10,600 –> 00:13:13,200
\nPerhaps, raise a hand.
\nWarrick. <\/p>\n

208
\n00:13:13,200 –> 00:13:14,800
\nYour hand was up faster than
\nanyone else’s. <\/p>\n

209
\n00:13:14,800 –> 00:13:19,000
\nI’m, I’m very impressed.
\nOh, I’m always guilty. <\/p>\n

210
\n00:13:19,000 –> 00:13:20,800
\nThat’s just taking his red.
\nI am. <\/p>\n

211
\n00:13:20,800 –> 00:13:23,600
\nYes, that’s right.
\nStop gets not a guilty thing. <\/p>\n

212
\n00:13:23,600 –> 00:13:25,100
\nDon’t worry.
\nChocolate is not bad. <\/p>\n

213
\n00:13:25,400 –> 00:13:28,700
\nSo this is rapidly coming to my
\nown defense. <\/p>\n

214
\n00:13:30,200 –> 00:13:32,000
\nAnyone would fancy some
\nchocolate right now. <\/p>\n

215
\n00:13:32,000 –> 00:13:35,900
\nRealize you’ve just had dinner.
\nAndrew would good for Andrew. <\/p>\n

216
\n00:13:36,500 –> 00:13:38,400
\nOkay.
\nSo think about how much you <\/p>\n

217
\n00:13:38,400 –> 00:13:41,600
\nmight like that chocolate now.
\nHave a look at that for a few <\/p>\n

218
\n00:13:41,600 –> 00:13:44,900
\nseconds.
\nYeah, there you go. <\/p>\n

219
\n00:13:45,200 –> 00:13:46,200
\nThere you go.
\nLet’s go. <\/p>\n

220
\n00:13:47,100 –> 00:13:49,000
\nAnd you may notice that your
\ndisease. <\/p>\n

221
\n00:13:49,000 –> 00:13:52,200
\nIf you had that desire to start
\nwith that, your desire may <\/p>\n

222
\n00:13:52,200 –> 00:13:54,600
\nactually increase.
\nWhy is your desire increased? <\/p>\n

223
\n00:13:54,600 –> 00:13:57,500
\nBecause there’s a visual
\nrealization of the desire <\/p>\n

224
\n00:13:57,500 –> 00:14:01,200
\nitself.
\nThat’s if that’s true for <\/p>\n

225
\n00:14:01,200 –> 00:14:03,200
\nchocolate, something that’s
\nsimple and something that <\/p>\n

226
\n00:14:03,200 –> 00:14:05,100
\nmeaningless.
\nThen my goodness. <\/p>\n

227
\n00:14:05,100 –> 00:14:08,000
\nHow much more true is that going
\nto be for the kingdom of God. <\/p>\n

228
\n00:14:08,500 –> 00:14:12,000
\nPaint a picture, see the
\ndetails. <\/p>\n

229
\n00:14:12,300 –> 00:14:17,600
\nDescribe the details in your
\nprayer, so it changes us <\/p>\n

230
\n00:14:17,600 –> 00:14:20,300
\nDesiring.
\nThe kingdom actually makes us <\/p>\n

231
\n00:14:20,300 –> 00:14:24,600
\nmore suitable for the kingdom,
\nGod is love and so those who <\/p>\n

232
\n00:14:24,600 –> 00:14:28,000
\npopulate his kingdom best, are
\nthose who love it. <\/p>\n

233
\n00:14:28,000 –> 00:14:31,300
\nMost those who Love it.
\nMost of those who desire it, <\/p>\n

234
\n00:14:31,300 –> 00:14:34,500
\nmost, and those to desire it.
\nMost are those who have <\/p>\n

235
\n00:14:34,500 –> 00:14:36,700
\nincreased their Desire by
\nwhatever. <\/p>\n

236
\n00:14:36,700 –> 00:14:39,100
\nBecca’s, let me take that
\npicture away because otherwise, <\/p>\n

237
\n00:14:39,100 –> 00:14:41,000
\nyou’ll, you’ll be thinking
\nyou’ve been right. <\/p>\n

238
\n00:14:41,000 –> 00:14:45,700
\nVery good, you’re welcome.
\nThat’s how we can operate in our<\/p>\n

239
\n00:14:45,700 –> 00:14:49,600
\nprayers to a change, both
\nourselves and potentially, can <\/p>\n

240
\n00:14:49,600 –> 00:14:53,800
\nwe believe it even potentially
\nthe start time of the kingdom? <\/p>\n

241
\n00:14:54,100 –> 00:14:56,100
\nIt is still likely though, ever
\nless probable. <\/p>\n

242
\n00:14:56,100 –> 00:15:00,100
\nThe kingdom will come in 2015,
\nbut if not Gene is put around <\/p>\n

243
\n00:15:00,100 –> 00:15:03,000
\nthe corner and awaits our
\nopportunities. <\/p>\n

244
\n00:15:03,600 –> 00:15:07,200
\nThree words, when preparing, for
\nthe kingdom was on, Jesus mind, <\/p>\n

245
\n00:15:07,200 –> 00:15:10,500
\nand he spoke to that, that
\naffected all of a sudden, he <\/p>\n

246
\n00:15:10,500 –> 00:15:13,600
\nspat out three random words
\nright in the middle of his <\/p>\n

247
\n00:15:13,600 –> 00:15:17,400
\ndialogue.
\nAnd he said, Remember Lot’s, <\/p>\n

248
\n00:15:17,400 –> 00:15:21,200
\nwife.
\nWhat was that about? <\/p>\n

249
\n00:15:21,600 –> 00:15:24,000
\nWhy remember Lot’s wife we don’t
\neven know her name. <\/p>\n

250
\n00:15:24,400 –> 00:15:30,400
\nRemember Lot’s, wife, desire.
\nWhere is your desire? <\/p>\n

251
\n00:15:30,900 –> 00:15:34,700
\nWe are going forwards out of
\nEgypt so to speak. <\/p>\n

252
\n00:15:35,000 –> 00:15:37,800
\nNot backwards.
\nWhere is your desire? <\/p>\n

253
\n00:15:37,800 –> 00:15:41,300
\nYour desire is where your vision
\nis, where was lots wife’s Vision<\/p>\n

254
\n00:15:41,800 –> 00:15:48,600
\npointing forward for a while.
\nAnd then, well, well, Kind of <\/p>\n

255
\n00:15:48,600 –> 00:15:51,300
\nlike what was back there.
\nThe Israelites in the <\/p>\n

256
\n00:15:51,300 –> 00:15:54,400
\nwilderness, said similar things
\nand perished there in remember <\/p>\n

257
\n00:15:54,400 –> 00:15:57,200
\nLot’s, wife her desire was
\nbehind her. <\/p>\n

258
\n00:15:57,500 –> 00:16:03,500
\nOurs needs to be ahead.
\nLord, teach us to pray, they <\/p>\n

259
\n00:16:03,500 –> 00:16:08,000
\nsaid and so, Jesus gave them
\nthis prayer, Our Father in <\/p>\n

260
\n00:16:08,000 –> 00:16:11,800
\nheaven Hallowed Be Your Name,
\nYour Kingdom Come your will be <\/p>\n

261
\n00:16:11,800 –> 00:16:13,700
\ndone on Earth as it is in
\nheaven. <\/p>\n

262
\n00:16:14,400 –> 00:16:18,400
\nGive us today our daily bread
\nforgive us our debts as we also <\/p>\n

263
\n00:16:18,400 –> 00:16:22,600
\nhave forgiven, our debtors and
\nlead us not into temptation, but<\/p>\n

264
\n00:16:22,600 –> 00:16:27,500
\nDeliver Us from Evil.
\nI’ve divided, if you are able to<\/p>\n

265
\n00:16:27,500 –> 00:16:31,900
\ndiscern colors, I’ve divided
\nthat prayer into three separate <\/p>\n

266
\n00:16:31,900 –> 00:16:36,800
\ncolors because I think there are
\nthree separate sections that are<\/p>\n

267
\n00:16:36,800 –> 00:16:38,500
\nin that prayer.
\nAnd I think that’s as much of <\/p>\n

268
\n00:16:38,500 –> 00:16:42,800
\nthe instruction Jesus gave as
\never the words were, I think he <\/p>\n

269
\n00:16:42,800 –> 00:16:46,600
\nwants us to learn and use.
\nI don’t which wish to criticize <\/p>\n

270
\n00:16:46,600 –> 00:16:50,300
\nmy friend, but I have a friend
\nwho is now of relatively great <\/p>\n

271
\n00:16:50,300 –> 00:16:54,100
\nage over the age of 80, not a
\nbrother, but he prays at <\/p>\n

272
\n00:16:54,100 –> 00:16:57,200
\nmealtime, which is Good.
\nAnd he is thankful to God, which<\/p>\n

273
\n00:16:57,200 –> 00:16:59,600
\nis excellent.
\nAnd at every meal time, he says <\/p>\n

274
\n00:17:00,000 –> 00:17:05,099
\nthese words and no other and he
\neats three meals a day and he’s <\/p>\n

275
\n00:17:05,099 –> 00:17:08,700
\nover 80 years of age.
\nAnd if that’s three meals a day,<\/p>\n

276
\n00:17:08,800 –> 00:17:09,700
\nI’m going to get into trouble
\nhere. <\/p>\n

277
\n00:17:09,700 –> 00:17:13,500
\nThree meals a day at about 300,
\nwere days per year. <\/p>\n

278
\n00:17:13,800 –> 00:17:16,500
\nThat’s going to be about a
\nthousand prayers per year. <\/p>\n

279
\n00:17:17,000 –> 00:17:19,500
\nAnd he’s done this for at least
\n50 years. <\/p>\n

280
\n00:17:20,400 –> 00:17:26,900
\nHe said this prayer 50,000
\ntimes, I’m unable to persuade <\/p>\n

281
\n00:17:26,900 –> 00:17:31,000
\nhim to try anything different.
\nNow, was that what Jesus wanted <\/p>\n

282
\n00:17:31,000 –> 00:17:35,500
\nfrom us to say this prayer
\n50,000 times? <\/p>\n

283
\n00:17:35,900 –> 00:17:38,100
\nI think it’s an excellent
\nprayer, but I think he wants us <\/p>\n

284
\n00:17:38,100 –> 00:17:41,400
\nto learn the principles in the
\nstructure as well as the content<\/p>\n

285
\n00:17:41,400 –> 00:17:45,100
\nof the prayer and use it in
\ndesigning and adapting, our own <\/p>\n

286
\n00:17:45,100 –> 00:17:48,900
\nprayers to that end.
\nWhat do you notice about the <\/p>\n

287
\n00:17:48,900 –> 00:17:51,500
\npurple section?
\nWhat That prayer about. <\/p>\n

288
\n00:17:53,000 –> 00:17:56,100
\nIt’s about things about God.
\nWe don’t need complex language <\/p>\n

289
\n00:17:56,100 –> 00:17:58,900
\nhere.
\nWhat’s the green words about? <\/p>\n

290
\n00:18:02,700 –> 00:18:04,600
\nThings about God’s will I like
\nthat? <\/p>\n

291
\n00:18:04,600 –> 00:18:08,100
\nI heard that from somewhere
\nthings about God’s plans and <\/p>\n

292
\n00:18:08,100 –> 00:18:14,900
\nwhat’s the blue part about but
\nus things about us, Lord teach <\/p>\n

293
\n00:18:14,900 –> 00:18:19,300
\nus to pray that the disciples.
\nOkay said Jesus do this first, <\/p>\n

294
\n00:18:19,300 –> 00:18:25,200
\npray about God mention him,
\ncomment on him, comment on your <\/p>\n

295
\n00:18:25,200 –> 00:18:29,100
\nrelationship with him.
\nThen think about the plans that <\/p>\n

296
\n00:18:29,100 –> 00:18:35,300
\nGod has in place and then think
\nabout you I’ve known that for a <\/p>\n

297
\n00:18:35,300 –> 00:18:39,200
\nlong time and to this very day,
\nI can still catch myself in <\/p>\n

298
\n00:18:39,200 –> 00:18:42,200
\nprayers, private prayers, that
\nimmediately launched into, it’s <\/p>\n

299
\n00:18:42,200 –> 00:18:45,300
\nabout me.
\nThanks, and I catch myself on <\/p>\n

300
\n00:18:45,300 –> 00:18:49,100
\nthat on at least a weekly basis.
\nAnd yet, the Lord has said, this<\/p>\n

301
\n00:18:49,100 –> 00:18:54,200
\nis how to pray in this order.
\nThere’s another sequence of <\/p>\n

302
\n00:18:54,200 –> 00:18:56,200
\nthings that has this same
\nstructure. <\/p>\n

303
\n00:18:57,000 –> 00:18:58,400
\nDo you know what it is?
\nI’m sure you do. <\/p>\n

304
\n00:19:03,500 –> 00:19:06,400
\nThe Ten Commandments was
\nnervously, whispered over here, <\/p>\n

305
\n00:19:06,400 –> 00:19:10,000
\nbut was more Well confidently
\nsaid over there I think, <\/p>\n

306
\n00:19:10,000 –> 00:19:12,100
\nabsolutely, right.
\nIf we look at the Ten <\/p>\n

307
\n00:19:12,100 –> 00:19:16,100
\nCommandments, No other gods
\nbefore me. <\/p>\n

308
\n00:19:16,100 –> 00:19:18,600
\nLove the Lord your God.
\nYou shall not bow down to Idols.<\/p>\n

309
\n00:19:18,600 –> 00:19:20,700
\nYou shall not misuse the name of
\nthe Lord. <\/p>\n

310
\n00:19:20,700 –> 00:19:24,700
\nYour God.
\nThose are things about God then <\/p>\n

311
\n00:19:24,900 –> 00:19:27,000
\nyou have remember the Sabbath
\nday by keeping it. <\/p>\n

312
\n00:19:27,000 –> 00:19:31,800
\nHoly honor your father and your
\nmother things about God’s plans,<\/p>\n

313
\n00:19:31,900 –> 00:19:35,500
\nhe had a plan and a structure
\nfor the week and for the family <\/p>\n

314
\n00:19:36,100 –> 00:19:40,500
\nand finally things about us.
\nIn fact, if there are Ten <\/p>\n

315
\n00:19:40,500 –> 00:19:45,400
\nCommandments on two tablets of
\nstone and Like the example given<\/p>\n

316
\n00:19:45,400 –> 00:19:47,900
\nin the background, the Bible is
\nclear that the tablets were <\/p>\n

317
\n00:19:47,900 –> 00:19:52,700
\nwritten on both sides, most TV
\nand movie representations mess <\/p>\n

318
\n00:19:52,700 –> 00:19:54,300
\nthat.
\nBut if there are Ten <\/p>\n

319
\n00:19:54,300 –> 00:19:58,700
\nCommandments written on both
\nsides on two tablets, It’s <\/p>\n

320
\n00:19:58,700 –> 00:20:01,000
\nperhaps reasonable to suspect,
\nthey were five Commandments on <\/p>\n

321
\n00:20:01,000 –> 00:20:04,000
\none tablet and five Commandments
\non the other speculation. <\/p>\n

322
\n00:20:04,500 –> 00:20:08,500
\nIf so, there was an entire
\ntablet, about things about God <\/p>\n

323
\n00:20:09,000 –> 00:20:12,400
\nand an entire tablet.
\nThe second tablet, things about <\/p>\n

324
\n00:20:12,400 –> 00:20:14,000
\nus, there’s an actual
\nseparation. <\/p>\n

325
\n00:20:14,000 –> 00:20:17,400
\nThere, even physically.
\nI notice if that’s speculation <\/p>\n

326
\n00:20:17,400 –> 00:20:21,500
\nis true.
\nSo always God’s things God’s <\/p>\n

327
\n00:20:21,500 –> 00:20:24,900
\nguard.
\nGod’s plans, our needs. <\/p>\n

328
\n00:20:25,300 –> 00:20:29,900
\nSo You shall not murder.
\nIts number 6. <\/p>\n

329
\n00:20:30,500 –> 00:20:34,100
\nIt’s the most important offense
\nthat can ever be committed <\/p>\n

330
\n00:20:34,300 –> 00:20:37,400
\nagainst, man.
\nAnd all too often. <\/p>\n

331
\n00:20:37,400 –> 00:20:39,600
\nI will see in the online
\nnewspapers. <\/p>\n

332
\n00:20:39,800 –> 00:20:43,800
\nPeople talking about murder as
\nthe ultimate crime, it is the <\/p>\n

333
\n00:20:43,800 –> 00:20:46,900
\nultimate crime.
\nBut only if there is no God, <\/p>\n

334
\n00:20:47,400 –> 00:20:50,200
\nonce you’ve thrown the first
\ntablet of stone out the window, <\/p>\n

335
\n00:20:50,500 –> 00:20:53,100
\nthen it’s the top commandment
\nand that’s what’s happened in <\/p>\n

336
\n00:20:53,100 –> 00:20:56,300
\nour world today.
\nBut in actual fact, God says <\/p>\n

337
\n00:20:56,600 –> 00:21:02,100
\nthis is number 6 but number
\nthree might be don’t misuse my <\/p>\n

338
\n00:21:02,100 –> 00:21:06,100
\nname which people Cheerilee do
\nmultiple times per day. <\/p>\n

339
\n00:21:07,100 –> 00:21:09,000
\nOur prayers need to have the
\nsame structure. <\/p>\n

340
\n00:21:09,200 –> 00:21:11,200
\nSo if we’re going to learn how
\nto pray, I would say. <\/p>\n

341
\n00:21:11,200 –> 00:21:14,100
\nThat’s at one concrete, way we
\ncan learn how to pray. <\/p>\n

342
\n00:21:14,300 –> 00:21:16,900
\nAnalyze your own prayers whilst
\nyou’re saying them. <\/p>\n

343
\n00:21:17,100 –> 00:21:22,300
\nAm I praying about God before?
\nI’m praying about me. if I could<\/p>\n

344
\n00:21:22,300 –> 00:21:26,700
\nadd any, Thoughts or learning
\nfrom personal experience. <\/p>\n

345
\n00:21:26,700 –> 00:21:29,500
\nI would say this would be my
\nsecond piece of advice. <\/p>\n

346
\n00:21:30,100 –> 00:21:33,400
\nPray directly.
\nWhat do I mean by that? <\/p>\n

347
\n00:21:34,600 –> 00:21:38,400
\nI mean pray for what you want
\nand you might say well that’s <\/p>\n

348
\n00:21:38,400 –> 00:21:39,700
\nstupid.
\nI do. <\/p>\n

349
\n00:21:40,200 –> 00:21:44,300
\nDo you ask yourself?
\nDo you actually pray for what <\/p>\n

350
\n00:21:44,300 –> 00:21:47,400
\nyou want?
\nHere’s my guess at the things <\/p>\n

351
\n00:21:47,400 –> 00:21:49,300
\nthat we want.
\nI can’t speak for all of you. <\/p>\n

352
\n00:21:49,300 –> 00:21:51,700
\nI have to guess.
\nWe want to be happy and <\/p>\n

353
\n00:21:51,700 –> 00:21:53,800
\nfulfilled.
\nWe want to save the lives. <\/p>\n

354
\n00:21:53,900 –> 00:21:56,400
\nOf others.
\nGenuinely, we want to be closer <\/p>\n

355
\n00:21:56,400 –> 00:21:59,100
\nto God.
\nWe want to have protection. <\/p>\n

356
\n00:21:59,100 –> 00:22:01,600
\nFor our loved ones.
\nWe want to have our minds <\/p>\n

357
\n00:22:01,600 –> 00:22:04,900
\ntransformed so that we desire
\nthe things of Christ, not the <\/p>\n

358
\n00:22:04,900 –> 00:22:08,500
\nthings of the world, we want to
\nfeel secure about our future. <\/p>\n

359
\n00:22:09,000 –> 00:22:13,600
\nWe want peace of mind.
\nDo we pray for those things? <\/p>\n

360
\n00:22:15,200 –> 00:22:19,700
\nI wonder those are the actual
\ngoals, but I wonder if the <\/p>\n

361
\n00:22:19,700 –> 00:22:22,900
\nprayers that I hear and the
\nprayers often for which I am <\/p>\n

362
\n00:22:22,900 –> 00:22:25,600
\nsolicited.
\nPlease, would you help me pray <\/p>\n

363
\n00:22:25,600 –> 00:22:32,900
\nfor this tend to look like this.
\nTheir prayers for a home. <\/p>\n

364
\n00:22:33,300 –> 00:22:35,500
\nA spouse.
\nA baptism. <\/p>\n

365
\n00:22:35,600 –> 00:22:43,600
\nA job children. and I suppose,
\nmy guess is, the reason that we <\/p>\n

366
\n00:22:43,600 –> 00:22:50,700
\npray for these is because we
\nbelieve these will fulfill these<\/p>\n

367
\n00:22:51,900 –> 00:22:56,900
\nI want to be fulfilled, so I
\npray for a partner but what did <\/p>\n

368
\n00:22:56,900 –> 00:22:59,300
\nI do that for?
\nI should pray for fulfillment. <\/p>\n

369
\n00:23:00,500 –> 00:23:04,100
\nI want to be closer to God.
\nSo I pray to be involved in a <\/p>\n

370
\n00:23:04,108 –> 00:23:08,500
\nbig preaching campaign.
\nI want to feel secure about my <\/p>\n

371
\n00:23:08,500 –> 00:23:13,600
\nfuture, so I pray that I’ll get
\nthat job but I might get that <\/p>\n

372
\n00:23:13,600 –> 00:23:16,900
\njob and not be the slightest bit
\nsecure in my future. <\/p>\n

373
\n00:23:18,400 –> 00:23:21,700
\nI might be married and not feel
\nthe slightest bit fulfilled. <\/p>\n

374
\n00:23:22,100 –> 00:23:24,600
\nWhy didn’t I pray for what?
\nI actually wanted. <\/p>\n

375
\n00:23:25,100 –> 00:23:28,800
\nAnd so over the years, I’ve
\nlearned to pray for this column <\/p>\n

376
\n00:23:29,500 –> 00:23:34,900
\nand not for any of the tangibles
\nthat I might trick my mind into <\/p>\n

377
\n00:23:34,900 –> 00:23:39,900
\nthinking, what will actually
\ncome in this column, and there’s<\/p>\n

378
\n00:23:39,900 –> 00:23:45,600
\nanother advantage to praying
\ndirectly, you’re able to catch <\/p>\n

379
\n00:23:45,600 –> 00:23:51,200
\nyourself out when you cheat.
\nDo not be, do not be surprised <\/p>\n

380
\n00:23:51,200 –> 00:23:53,900
\nthat the human mind is deceitful
\nabove all things. <\/p>\n

381
\n00:23:54,500 –> 00:23:57,000
\nYou might pray that this
\npreaching campaign, be <\/p>\n

382
\n00:23:57,000 –> 00:24:00,600
\ntremendously successful, and we
\nhave at least five, maybe ten <\/p>\n

383
\n00:24:00,600 –> 00:24:05,300
\nbaptisms as a result of three
\nmonths work, for example, that’s<\/p>\n

384
\n00:24:05,300 –> 00:24:08,900
\na beautiful thing to pray for.
\nIsn’t it? <\/p>\n

385
\n00:24:10,400 –> 00:24:14,000
\nBut what if I’m praying
\nactually, to be proved right. <\/p>\n

386
\n00:24:14,700 –> 00:24:17,900
\nI designed this preaching
\ncampaign and I said, do it like <\/p>\n

387
\n00:24:17,900 –> 00:24:21,300
\nthis and the other guy had tried
\nto do it like that for six <\/p>\n

388
\n00:24:21,300 –> 00:24:24,300
\nmonths and nothing happened.
\nSo if we do it like this, like I<\/p>\n

389
\n00:24:24,300 –> 00:24:26,400
\nsaid and we get a lot of
\nbaptisms. <\/p>\n

390
\n00:24:26,400 –> 00:24:30,000
\nThat’s why I’m praying for the
\nbaptisms and I can catch myself <\/p>\n

391
\n00:24:30,000 –> 00:24:32,600
\nin things like that.
\nSometimes what I’m really <\/p>\n

392
\n00:24:32,600 –> 00:24:36,600
\npraying for is to be proved
\nright or to indulge myself or to<\/p>\n

393
\n00:24:36,600 –> 00:24:40,500
\nlook Superior and that can
\nhappen when we play Pray for <\/p>\n

394
\n00:24:40,500 –> 00:24:44,800
\nthese indirect tangibles because
\nin the indirect tangible, you <\/p>\n

395
\n00:24:44,800 –> 00:24:49,100
\ncan hide a lot of things that
\nyour little undermined will <\/p>\n

396
\n00:24:49,100 –> 00:24:53,900
\nsneak in under the tangible.
\nBut when you pray directly for <\/p>\n

397
\n00:24:53,900 –> 00:24:57,800
\nfulfillment or protection for
\nloved ones, without any of the <\/p>\n

398
\n00:24:57,800 –> 00:25:00,100
\ntangible coverings, you will
\ndiscover. <\/p>\n

399
\n00:25:00,100 –> 00:25:04,100
\nIf any of these, rather less
\nworthy things have crept in with<\/p>\n

400
\n00:25:04,100 –> 00:25:07,200
\nyour thinking, because you’ll be
\nanalyzing your desires, <\/p>\n

401
\n00:25:07,200 –> 00:25:10,100
\nabsolutely directly.
\nSo, that’s my second piece. <\/p>\n

402
\n00:25:10,200 –> 00:25:12,400
\nOf advice.
\nPray directly. <\/p>\n

403
\n00:25:13,100 –> 00:25:17,100
\nGod will choose whatever
\ntangibles to supply in order to <\/p>\n

404
\n00:25:17,500 –> 00:25:20,900
\nfulfill the direct goal for
\nwhich you’re praying. <\/p>\n

405
\n00:25:23,500 –> 00:25:27,200
\nSo at this point, we come to a
\nrather unusual section. <\/p>\n

406
\n00:25:31,700 –> 00:25:36,600
\nI’m going to show you a literal
\ntestimonies of real people. <\/p>\n

407
\n00:25:36,600 –> 00:25:42,200
\nNeither of whom, you know, who
\nhave commented and agreed to <\/p>\n

408
\n00:25:42,200 –> 00:25:44,800
\ncomment publicly on their prayer
\nlife. <\/p>\n

409
\n00:25:45,700 –> 00:25:48,400
\nNow, at some point particular in
\nthe second case, it’s very <\/p>\n

410
\n00:25:48,400 –> 00:25:50,100
\npersonal.
\nI’ve cut out, the bits that are <\/p>\n

411
\n00:25:50,100 –> 00:25:51,200
\nsort of a little bit too
\ngruesome. <\/p>\n

412
\n00:25:51,500 –> 00:25:56,200
\nBut it’s I think it’s useful to
\nsee real people. <\/p>\n

413
\n00:25:57,000 –> 00:25:59,800
\nIn action in their prayer Lives
\nwho are happy to comment upon <\/p>\n

414
\n00:25:59,800 –> 00:26:03,400
\nthem and one of them is a very
\nhappy story that will be the <\/p>\n

415
\n00:26:03,400 –> 00:26:06,900
\nsecond one there.
\nFor a first will address this <\/p>\n

416
\n00:26:06,900 –> 00:26:08,900
\none.
\nThe name is a pseudonym, not her<\/p>\n

417
\n00:26:08,900 –> 00:26:11,900
\nreal name and she comments in
\nthis way. <\/p>\n

418
\n00:26:13,700 –> 00:26:16,500
\nIf you had asked me as a young
\nChristian, whether I believed in<\/p>\n

419
\n00:26:16,500 –> 00:26:20,400
\nprayer, I would have quickly
\nsaid, yes, I would have told you<\/p>\n

420
\n00:26:20,408 –> 00:26:23,200
\nabout the time I spun out in the
\nsnow and didn’t get hurt. <\/p>\n

421
\n00:26:23,500 –> 00:26:26,600
\nWell, the time I dropped a house
\nkey somewhere in my 74, Dodge, <\/p>\n

422
\n00:26:26,600 –> 00:26:29,200
\nDart, and couldn’t find it for
\nhours. <\/p>\n

423
\n00:26:29,200 –> 00:26:33,800
\nUntil I prayed, maybe God takes
\ncare of, neophyte Believers. <\/p>\n

424
\n00:26:33,800 –> 00:26:36,400
\nI don’t know.
\nHe doesn’t seem to take care of <\/p>\n

425
\n00:26:36,400 –> 00:26:40,200
\nOld-Timers though.
\nI could list probably 100 <\/p>\n

426
\n00:26:40,200 –> 00:26:42,000
\nprayers.
\nThat haven’t been answered. <\/p>\n

427
\n00:26:42,100 –> 00:26:45,700
\nI’m not speaking of selfish
\nprayers but important prayers, <\/p>\n

428
\n00:26:46,000 –> 00:26:49,300
\nGod keep my kids safe.
\nKeep them away from the wrong <\/p>\n

429
\n00:26:49,300 –> 00:26:51,900
\ncrowd.
\nAll three ended up in trouble <\/p>\n

430
\n00:26:51,900 –> 00:26:54,800
\nwith the law abusing drugs and
\nalcohol. <\/p>\n

431
\n00:26:55,700 –> 00:27:00,100
\nI’ve got to say Jesus story of
\nthe persistent Widow Sowers, <\/p>\n

432
\n00:27:00,500 –> 00:27:03,600
\nthousands of people pray for a
\nChristian leader, who has cancer<\/p>\n

433
\n00:27:03,600 –> 00:27:06,200
\nand he dies.
\nWhat did Jesus mean by the <\/p>\n

434
\n00:27:06,200 –> 00:27:09,900
\nparable that we keep beating?
\nOur heads against a wall. <\/p>\n

435
\n00:27:11,300 –> 00:27:14,700
\nI’d guess maybe 20% of my
\nprayers, get anything like the <\/p>\n

436
\n00:27:14,700 –> 00:27:18,000
\nanswer.
\nI want over the time I give up, <\/p>\n

437
\n00:27:18,700 –> 00:27:21,900
\nI pray for those things, I
\nbelieve will happen, or I just <\/p>\n

438
\n00:27:21,900 –> 00:27:25,400
\ndon’t pray.
\nI review my journal and see God,<\/p>\n

439
\n00:27:25,400 –> 00:27:29,500
\ndoing less and less.
\nI get mad like a child. <\/p>\n

440
\n00:27:29,500 –> 00:27:32,500
\nI stop talking.
\nI’m passive aggressive with God.<\/p>\n

441
\n00:27:32,800 –> 00:27:37,500
\nI put him off maybe later.
\nI went to a mentor and poured <\/p>\n

442
\n00:27:37,500 –> 00:27:40,100
\nout, my soul describing in
\ndetail. <\/p>\n

443
\n00:27:40,100 –> 00:27:42,700
\nAll, I’ve been through in the
\npast few years with my health <\/p>\n

444
\n00:27:42,700 –> 00:27:45,700
\nand especially with my kids.
\nWhat do I do? <\/p>\n

445
\n00:27:46,300 –> 00:27:50,600
\nI asked he sat there for the
\nlongest time and said, I don’t <\/p>\n

446
\n00:27:50,600 –> 00:27:54,500
\nknow, Joanne, he sighed.
\nI waited for words of wisdom. <\/p>\n

447
\n00:27:55,000 –> 00:27:57,700
\nNone came.
\nThat’s how it is with prayer, <\/p>\n

448
\n00:27:57,700 –> 00:28:03,300
\ntoo. so, One thing we can
\nconclude the prayer. <\/p>\n

449
\n00:28:03,300 –> 00:28:08,100
\nLife was a bad experience.
\nWhat had gone wrong challenge <\/p>\n

450
\n00:28:08,100 –> 00:28:11,100
\nyourself.
\nThat woman has come to you <\/p>\n

451
\n00:28:11,400 –> 00:28:15,100
\nearlier, on this afternoon, sat
\ndown next to you on the bench <\/p>\n

452
\n00:28:15,300 –> 00:28:18,900
\nand said, precisely that.
\nWhat’s your response? <\/p>\n

453
\n00:28:20,100 –> 00:28:23,200
\nIf we’re Disciples of Christ, we
\nshould be ready for moments such<\/p>\n

454
\n00:28:23,200 –> 00:28:26,200
\nas these.
\nWe’ll think about that in just a<\/p>\n

455
\n00:28:26,208 –> 00:28:33,000
\nminute, but before we do, let’s
\nintroduce our second testimony. <\/p>\n

456
\n00:28:34,500 –> 00:28:38,000
\nHilda, my family in Costa Rica
\nhad no money. <\/p>\n

457
\n00:28:38,300 –> 00:28:40,800
\nAnd so when I was four years
\nold, my mother sold me into <\/p>\n

458
\n00:28:40,800 –> 00:28:43,500
\nsexual slavery.
\nMen pay a lot of money to have <\/p>\n

459
\n00:28:43,500 –> 00:28:46,500
\ntheir way with children.
\nSo while other kids, my age went<\/p>\n

460
\n00:28:46,500 –> 00:28:50,200
\nto school, I worked in a brothel
\nturning over all my earnings to <\/p>\n

461
\n00:28:50,200 –> 00:28:54,200
\nmy mother, all my life.
\nI felt ugly and dirty ashamed. <\/p>\n

462
\n00:28:54,500 –> 00:28:58,000
\nI learned to drink alcohol, and
\nuse cocaine very early as a way <\/p>\n

463
\n00:28:58,000 –> 00:29:01,200
\nto dull the pain.
\nWhen I was a teenager, I had two<\/p>\n

464
\n00:29:01,200 –> 00:29:04,100
\nchildren of my own from then on,
\nI worked harder. <\/p>\n

465
\n00:29:04,400 –> 00:29:06,100
\nEarn money to support my
\nchildren. <\/p>\n

466
\n00:29:06,700 –> 00:29:08,800
\nIt was the only way I could show
\nmy love for them. <\/p>\n

467
\n00:29:09,700 –> 00:29:11,500
\nOne day, a customer.
\nGot Furious. <\/p>\n

468
\n00:29:11,800 –> 00:29:13,400
\nWhen I wouldn’t do what he
\nasked. <\/p>\n

469
\n00:29:13,700 –> 00:29:16,200
\nHe pulled a knife on me.
\nThen hit me with a baseball bat,<\/p>\n

470
\n00:29:16,200 –> 00:29:20,000
\nsplitting my head open, they
\ntook me to the hospital and I <\/p>\n

471
\n00:29:20,000 –> 00:29:22,400
\nlay in that bed plotting to kill
\nmyself. <\/p>\n

472
\n00:29:23,000 –> 00:29:26,500
\nFinally, I got down on my knees
\nbeside the bed and plead with <\/p>\n

473
\n00:29:26,500 –> 00:29:31,000
\nGod, I wanted somehow to escape
\nprostitution to become a real <\/p>\n

474
\n00:29:31,000 –> 00:29:34,100
\nmother to my children and God
\nanswered that prayer. <\/p>\n

475
\n00:29:34,200 –> 00:29:36,300
\nWith a miracle.
\nHe gave me a vision. <\/p>\n

476
\n00:29:36,700 –> 00:29:40,500
\nI actually saw the words look
\nfor Rahab Foundation. <\/p>\n

477
\n00:29:41,100 –> 00:29:44,200
\nI was barely literate and didn’t
\nknow the word Rahab, it’s not a <\/p>\n

478
\n00:29:44,200 –> 00:29:46,400
\nSpanish word.
\nOne of the nurses. <\/p>\n

479
\n00:29:46,400 –> 00:29:51,200
\nHelp me find their number though
\nand I called the phone rang and <\/p>\n

480
\n00:29:51,200 –> 00:29:54,200
\nrang and I prayed Lord, if you
\nreally exist, make somebody <\/p>\n

481
\n00:29:54,200 –> 00:29:57,800
\nanswer that phone at last a
\nwoman named Marie, Liana. <\/p>\n

482
\n00:29:57,800 –> 00:30:01,000
\nAnswered turns out.
\nShe was the director of Rahab, <\/p>\n

483
\n00:30:01,100 –> 00:30:04,100
\nwhich was closed for the day,
\nbut she had stopped by to pick <\/p>\n

484
\n00:30:04,300 –> 00:30:06,800
\nPick up some papers.
\nI need help. <\/p>\n

485
\n00:30:06,800 –> 00:30:10,300
\nI told Maria Liana, I’m dying.
\nI can’t take it anymore. <\/p>\n

486
\n00:30:10,700 –> 00:30:13,600
\nShe told me that God loved me
\nand would not leave me alone. <\/p>\n

487
\n00:30:14,000 –> 00:30:16,700
\nShe would help me get away from
\nprostitution and start a new <\/p>\n

488
\n00:30:16,700 –> 00:30:19,700
\nlife.
\nA few days later, she brought me<\/p>\n

489
\n00:30:19,700 –> 00:30:22,600
\nto her home, bruised and
\nbandaged fresh from the <\/p>\n

490
\n00:30:22,600 –> 00:30:25,200
\nhospital.
\nShe welcomed me with a huge hug <\/p>\n

491
\n00:30:25,200 –> 00:30:29,300
\nand said you’re safe here Hilda.
\nShe told me Rahab was named for <\/p>\n

492
\n00:30:29,300 –> 00:30:32,300
\na prostitute in the Bible.
\nOne who became a heroine. <\/p>\n

493
\n00:30:32,900 –> 00:30:35,500
\nI couldn’t believe the Hope on
\nreally Anna’s face. <\/p>\n

494
\n00:30:35,900 –> 00:30:39,600
\nIt felt like a dream.
\nShe gave me a clean bed flowers <\/p>\n

495
\n00:30:39,600 –> 00:30:42,800
\nin the room and a promise that
\nno man would harass me, she <\/p>\n

496
\n00:30:42,800 –> 00:30:45,900
\nintroduced me to other women who
\nhad left, prostitution, she <\/p>\n

497
\n00:30:45,900 –> 00:30:47,300
\ntaught me how to be a real
\nmother. <\/p>\n

498
\n00:30:47,600 –> 00:30:51,200
\nAnd now I I am studying a trade
\nto live for the glory of God. <\/p>\n

499
\n00:30:52,100 –> 00:30:55,600
\nNow some fairly Stark details in
\nthere and I apologize for any <\/p>\n

500
\n00:30:55,600 –> 00:30:58,800
\nshock they cause, but I think
\nit’s valuable to consider this <\/p>\n

501
\n00:30:59,000 –> 00:31:02,900
\ntestimony because one thing we
\ncan conclude in opposite to the <\/p>\n

502
\n00:31:02,900 –> 00:31:05,800
\nfirst testimony.
\nThe prayer life had been a very <\/p>\n

503
\n00:31:05,800 –> 00:31:09,400
\nbeneficial experience.
\nWhat had gone right? <\/p>\n

504
\n00:31:10,200 –> 00:31:14,200
\nWhy has God chosen one and
\nignored the other or so, it <\/p>\n

505
\n00:31:14,200 –> 00:31:17,600
\nseems Where should we find an
\nanswer? <\/p>\n

506
\n00:31:18,200 –> 00:31:21,000
\nWe will find an answer where we
\nalways find an answer. <\/p>\n

507
\n00:31:21,300 –> 00:31:23,900
\nIt’s the word of God that will
\ngive us the answer. <\/p>\n

508
\n00:31:26,200 –> 00:31:29,600
\nLuke chapter 15 and will find
\nthat here. <\/p>\n

509
\n00:31:29,900 –> 00:31:32,900
\nLies a very good key to the
\nanswer and that’s why thank you,<\/p>\n

510
\n00:31:32,908 –> 00:31:35,800
\nbrother.
\nJohn he read that passage for <\/p>\n

511
\n00:31:35,800 –> 00:31:38,800
\nus.
\nLuke chapter 15 begins this way.<\/p>\n

512
\n00:31:40,500 –> 00:31:42,600
\nThere was a man who had two
\nsons. <\/p>\n

513
\n00:31:42,900 –> 00:31:47,600
\nThe younger one said, father,
\ngive me my share of the estate. <\/p>\n

514
\n00:31:47,600 –> 00:31:50,900
\nWe’re going to focus just on
\nthat youngest, son for the <\/p>\n

515
\n00:31:50,900 –> 00:31:53,800
\npurpose of this evening and
\nwe’re going to focus on two <\/p>\n

516
\n00:31:53,800 –> 00:31:57,800
\nprayers.
\nThis is his prayer in a before <\/p>\n

517
\n00:31:57,800 –> 00:31:59,700
\nState and the other prayer we’re
\ngoing to look after. <\/p>\n

518
\n00:31:59,700 –> 00:32:03,200
\nLook out for is the same man.
\nEven those a hypothetical <\/p>\n

519
\n00:32:03,200 –> 00:32:06,000
\ncharacter after his
\ntransformation? <\/p>\n

520
\n00:32:08,000 –> 00:32:10,600
\nWhen he came to his senses, he
\nsaid, father I have sinned <\/p>\n

521
\n00:32:10,600 –> 00:32:13,900
\nagainst heaven and against you,
\nI am no longer worthy to be <\/p>\n

522
\n00:32:13,900 –> 00:32:18,100
\ncalled your son, make me like
\none of your hired men and we <\/p>\n

523
\n00:32:18,100 –> 00:32:20,000
\nknow the education.
\nWe’re going to get from these <\/p>\n

524
\n00:32:20,000 –> 00:32:23,300
\nwords is excellent because they
\nwere never spoken by a fallible <\/p>\n

525
\n00:32:23,300 –> 00:32:28,100
\nhuman mind rather Jesus crafted
\nthem himself in a parable for <\/p>\n

526
\n00:32:28,100 –> 00:32:30,300
\nus.
\nDo you see the difference <\/p>\n

527
\n00:32:30,300 –> 00:32:33,100
\nbetween those two prayers?
\nLook again. <\/p>\n

528
\n00:32:34,300 –> 00:32:37,300
\nThere was a man who had two sons
\nthe younger one said, father, <\/p>\n

529
\n00:32:37,900 –> 00:32:40,700
\ngive me.
\nLet’s just stop there. <\/p>\n

530
\n00:32:41,200 –> 00:32:43,800
\nThat’s really all we need.
\nWe just need those three words. <\/p>\n

531
\n00:32:44,300 –> 00:32:48,400
\nFather, give me.
\nThat’s an excellent summary of <\/p>\n

532
\n00:32:48,400 –> 00:32:50,000
\nthat prayer.
\nWhat he was asking to be given <\/p>\n

533
\n00:32:50,000 –> 00:32:52,000
\ndoesn’t really matter.
\nWe can take the code away. <\/p>\n

534
\n00:32:52,300 –> 00:32:55,900
\nThat was the nature of the
\nprayer and the second prayer <\/p>\n

535
\n00:32:56,300 –> 00:33:01,900
\nwhen he came to his senses, he
\nsaid, father Make me. <\/p>\n

536
\n00:33:03,100 –> 00:33:07,100
\nThose three words, sufficient I
\nthink therefore we can just drop<\/p>\n

537
\n00:33:07,500 –> 00:33:11,900
\nthat quote away to those.
\nThat’s the essence of the two <\/p>\n

538
\n00:33:11,900 –> 00:33:15,100
\ndifferent prayers.
\nJesus is always teaching us <\/p>\n

539
\n00:33:15,100 –> 00:33:17,600
\neverything.
\nHe says everything he does and <\/p>\n

540
\n00:33:17,600 –> 00:33:21,900
\nhe’s saying there’s a man who
\ngrew up and whilst he was still <\/p>\n

541
\n00:33:22,200 –> 00:33:27,600
\nimmature and spiritually young,
\nhe prayed father, give me but <\/p>\n

542
\n00:33:27,600 –> 00:33:33,600
\nafter he had matured he prayed,
\nFather Make Me And you’ll notice<\/p>\n

543
\n00:33:33,600 –> 00:33:38,900
\nthe difference about give me and
\nmake me, give me, I don’t have <\/p>\n

544
\n00:33:38,900 –> 00:33:42,800
\nto do anything.
\nI just sit here and people give <\/p>\n

545
\n00:33:42,800 –> 00:33:46,900
\nme things that’s actually true.
\nIn the dining hall, I’m slow to <\/p>\n

546
\n00:33:46,900 –> 00:33:48,300
\nget up and people bring me
\nthings. <\/p>\n

547
\n00:33:48,300 –> 00:33:54,000
\nIt’s wonderful father, give me,
\nbut in the second case, father <\/p>\n

548
\n00:33:54,000 –> 00:33:57,400
\nmake me there has to be giving
\nfrom both sides. <\/p>\n

549
\n00:33:58,300 –> 00:34:01,600
\nBecause the person who is about
\nto be made, has to give effort <\/p>\n

550
\n00:34:02,200 –> 00:34:05,700
\nor give up control in order to
\nbe changed. <\/p>\n

551
\n00:34:07,100 –> 00:34:10,699
\nSo let’s look at those two
\nprayers again and realize this <\/p>\n

552
\n00:34:10,699 –> 00:34:14,900
\nmay have been the reason of the
\ndifference between them you put <\/p>\n

553
\n00:34:14,900 –> 00:34:17,900
\nup the same words this time.
\nI’m just going to read the ones <\/p>\n

554
\n00:34:17,900 –> 00:34:20,800
\nthat I’ve highlighted in the
\nyellow typeface. <\/p>\n

555
\n00:34:21,300 –> 00:34:25,300
\nI could list probably 100
\nprayers, that haven’t been <\/p>\n

556
\n00:34:25,300 –> 00:34:27,600
\nanswered.
\nHow do you know they haven’t <\/p>\n

557
\n00:34:27,600 –> 00:34:31,500
\nbeen answered because it wasn’t
\nthe answer that I wanted. <\/p>\n

558
\n00:34:32,300 –> 00:34:34,900
\nGod keep my kids safe.
\nKeep them away from the wrong <\/p>\n

559
\n00:34:34,900 –> 00:34:41,000
\nprep crowd, I’d guess maybe, 20%
\nof my prayers, get anything like<\/p>\n

560
\n00:34:41,100 –> 00:34:46,000
\nthe answer I want.
\nSo God was never really given a <\/p>\n

561
\n00:34:46,000 –> 00:34:48,699
\nchoice.
\nGod was given a set of <\/p>\n

562
\n00:34:48,699 –> 00:34:53,800
\ninstructions.
\nTo fulfill a Santa Claus list. <\/p>\n

563
\n00:34:54,000 –> 00:34:59,200
\nFather, give me is the
\nunderlying Spirit of this prayer<\/p>\n

564
\n00:34:59,700 –> 00:35:03,900
\nand perhaps why it was indulged
\nearly on when she was still <\/p>\n

565
\n00:35:03,900 –> 00:35:07,500
\nyoung, but as she Grew Older,
\nher prayer life never actually <\/p>\n

566
\n00:35:07,500 –> 00:35:10,300
\nmatured, and she just became
\nangry. <\/p>\n

567
\n00:35:10,600 –> 00:35:14,400
\nThat things didn’t happen.
\nWe pray to God sometimes, but <\/p>\n

568
\n00:35:14,400 –> 00:35:18,100
\nsometimes insist on retaining
\ncontrol of what the outcome must<\/p>\n

569
\n00:35:18,100 –> 00:35:22,200
\nlook like.
\nWe don’t pray and intangibles <\/p>\n

570
\n00:35:22,200 –> 00:35:23,900
\nthat.
\nAllow God to work. <\/p>\n

571
\n00:35:24,200 –> 00:35:26,600
\nWe just say God, you need to do.
\nGod, give me. <\/p>\n

572
\n00:35:26,600 –> 00:35:29,900
\nLet me get that job.
\nLet me get that job guard. <\/p>\n

573
\n00:35:31,000 –> 00:35:34,100
\nAnd you don’t get it.
\nDid he really deny your prayer <\/p>\n

574
\n00:35:34,300 –> 00:35:37,600
\nor was the prayer not
\nwell-sculpted father, I’m <\/p>\n

575
\n00:35:37,600 –> 00:35:41,100
\nfeeling very insecure about my
\nfinancial future. <\/p>\n

576
\n00:35:41,100 –> 00:35:46,200
\nPlease Salve, my insecurities, I
\nmight get a job that gives more <\/p>\n

577
\n00:35:46,200 –> 00:35:48,100
\nmoney.
\nWell, the insecurity may be <\/p>\n

578
\n00:35:48,100 –> 00:35:51,100
\ntaken away, some other means all
\nprayers. <\/p>\n

579
\n00:35:51,100 –> 00:35:55,100
\nIn this sense, become orders
\nissued to God for him to perform<\/p>\n

580
\n00:35:55,300 –> 00:35:58,300
\nfather.
\nGive me this specific thing. <\/p>\n

581
\n00:35:58,600 –> 00:36:02,300
\nThe consequences guard is Just
\nto a cosmic slave. <\/p>\n

582
\n00:36:03,400 –> 00:36:07,000
\nHe just gets to fulfill the
\norders that we send Heaven words<\/p>\n

583
\n00:36:07,600 –> 00:36:11,300
\nand any contradiction of our
\npredetermined outcome can induce<\/p>\n

584
\n00:36:11,300 –> 00:36:13,900
\na faith crash any horrific
\ndisaster. <\/p>\n

585
\n00:36:13,900 –> 00:36:18,000
\nWe may observe in our personal
\nor broader social life may <\/p>\n

586
\n00:36:18,000 –> 00:36:21,300
\nsuddenly say how can there be a
\ngod when this happens? <\/p>\n

587
\n00:36:22,000 –> 00:36:26,400
\nAnd in a way that claim is true,
\nthat God is indeed dead. <\/p>\n

588
\n00:36:26,600 –> 00:36:30,400
\nThat God must fail that God
\ndoesn’t exist. <\/p>\n

589
\n00:36:30,400 –> 00:36:34,600
\nGod is not a cosmic slave.
\nVolta our direction. <\/p>\n

590
\n00:36:34,800 –> 00:36:37,500
\nIf we are giving the
\ninstructions of how God must <\/p>\n

591
\n00:36:37,500 –> 00:36:42,300
\noperate, who really is God to
\nus, It’s us. <\/p>\n

592
\n00:36:44,600 –> 00:36:49,700
\nRather Hilda’s prayer.
\nI got down on my knees beside <\/p>\n

593
\n00:36:49,700 –> 00:36:55,600
\nthe bed and plead with God, I
\nwanted to become a real mother <\/p>\n

594
\n00:36:55,600 –> 00:37:00,800
\nto my children, how by being
\ngiven what she doesn’t specify, <\/p>\n

595
\n00:37:01,300 –> 00:37:05,400
\nshe specifies a Godly goal and
\nsays God, you will know the path<\/p>\n

596
\n00:37:05,400 –> 00:37:08,200
\nto get there.
\nAnd I am open to your <\/p>\n

597
\n00:37:08,200 –> 00:37:11,700
\nmanipulation and control to
\narrive at that ends. <\/p>\n

598
\n00:37:12,100 –> 00:37:14,200
\nMeridiana taught me how to be a
\nreal mother. <\/p>\n

599
\n00:37:14,400 –> 00:37:18,600
\nYeah, and now I am studying a
\ntrade to live for the glory of <\/p>\n

600
\n00:37:18,600 –> 00:37:22,400
\nGod.
\nFather, Make Me is clearly the <\/p>\n

601
\n00:37:22,400 –> 00:37:26,900
\nbasis of this young lady’s
\nprayer and so we’ve seen the <\/p>\n

602
\n00:37:26,900 –> 00:37:30,300
\ntangible results that happen
\nfrom a lifetime of Father. <\/p>\n

603
\n00:37:30,300 –> 00:37:35,600
\nGive me prayers and a lifetime
\nof Father, Make Me prayers and I<\/p>\n

604
\n00:37:35,600 –> 00:37:38,300
\nsuppose the obvious question
\nthat needs to be asked while we <\/p>\n

605
\n00:37:38,300 –> 00:37:41,400
\nsit here in potential Judgment
\nof the lives of others. <\/p>\n

606
\n00:37:42,900 –> 00:37:44,900
\nWhich one is my most common
\nprayer? <\/p>\n

607
\n00:37:46,200 –> 00:37:50,600
\nThink about the last 12 Pros,
\nyou gave your memories not so <\/p>\n

608
\n00:37:50,600 –> 00:37:52,000
\ngood.
\nThink about the last three, <\/p>\n

609
\n00:37:53,000 –> 00:37:56,100
\nwhich would be the best summary
\nof those three prayers. <\/p>\n

610
\n00:37:56,600 –> 00:38:00,300
\nCould you say it was this one?
\nOr would you say was probably <\/p>\n

611
\n00:38:00,300 –> 00:38:03,400
\nthat one?
\nFather give me prayers are not <\/p>\n

612
\n00:38:03,400 –> 00:38:07,300
\nWicked or wrong.
\nBut they are the neophyte level,<\/p>\n

613
\n00:38:07,300 –> 00:38:10,000
\nthey are the beginners level of
\nprayer and perhaps they still <\/p>\n

614
\n00:38:10,000 –> 00:38:13,400
\nhave some place in later life,
\nbut we need to make sure that <\/p>\n

615
\n00:38:13,400 –> 00:38:18,400
\nour prayer life is maturing from
\nfather give me generically into <\/p>\n

616
\n00:38:18,700 –> 00:38:23,500
\nfather make me it can apply.
\nEven at that most intimate of <\/p>\n

617
\n00:38:23,500 –> 00:38:26,800
\ntimes that we shared together as
\na community as we pass Bread and<\/p>\n

618
\n00:38:26,800 –> 00:38:29,000
\nWine behind and sometimes we use
\nthat time. <\/p>\n

619
\n00:38:29,000 –> 00:38:32,400
\nWe don’t have to to think about
\nthe Forgiveness, that that sells<\/p>\n

620
\n00:38:32,400 –> 00:38:37,000
\nus and joins us in closer, Union
\nwith our After father, give me <\/p>\n

621
\n00:38:37,000 –> 00:38:40,500
\nthis bread.
\nFather, give me this wine. <\/p>\n

622
\n00:38:41,300 –> 00:38:45,500
\nFather, give me forgiveness.
\nWhy not all three are freely <\/p>\n

623
\n00:38:45,500 –> 00:38:50,800
\ngiven or how about father with
\nthis bread? <\/p>\n

624
\n00:38:51,400 –> 00:38:56,300
\nAnd with this wine make me that
\nbetter disciple. <\/p>\n

625
\n00:38:56,300 –> 00:39:00,000
\nI desire to be and yet cannot be
\nalone. <\/p>\n

626
\n00:39:04,200 –> 00:39:08,500
\nI think the difference between
\nthe dramatic endings of the <\/p>\n

627
\n00:39:08,500 –> 00:39:10,200
\nfather.
\nGive me prayer in the Father <\/p>\n

628
\n00:39:10,200 –> 00:39:14,700
\nMake Me prayer come from their
\nessential basis, that one is <\/p>\n

629
\n00:39:14,700 –> 00:39:18,400
\nbased on entitlement and one in
\nback is based in Hope. <\/p>\n

630
\n00:39:18,700 –> 00:39:22,000
\nLook again at the words that
\nwere in the testimony, I’ve got <\/p>\n

631
\n00:39:22,000 –> 00:39:26,000
\nto say Jesus is story of the
\npersistent Widow Sowers, <\/p>\n

632
\n00:39:26,500 –> 00:39:29,800
\nthousands of people pray for a
\nChristian leader who has cancer <\/p>\n

633
\n00:39:29,800 –> 00:39:33,600
\nand he dies.
\nWhy does that make you annoyed? <\/p>\n

634
\n00:39:34,500 –> 00:39:37,200
\nBecause I had a right to see him
\nhealed. <\/p>\n

635
\n00:39:37,600 –> 00:39:40,900
\nDidn’t I just pray for it does?
\nGod not here English. <\/p>\n

636
\n00:39:41,100 –> 00:39:47,600
\nIs he deaf?
\nI had a right I was entitled to <\/p>\n

637
\n00:39:47,600 –> 00:39:50,900
\nwhat I prayed for and if you
\nhave or if you’re entitled to <\/p>\n

638
\n00:39:50,900 –> 00:39:53,500
\nwhat you pray for, that’s a bad
\nstart. <\/p>\n

639
\n00:39:53,500 –> 00:39:57,000
\nBut entitlements and hope are
\nrelatively similar things that <\/p>\n

640
\n00:39:57,000 –> 00:40:00,000
\nthey’re massively different in
\nend result but they can look <\/p>\n

641
\n00:40:00,200 –> 00:40:03,400
\nsimilar to start with and it’s
\nwhy the confusion can come. <\/p>\n

642
\n00:40:03,700 –> 00:40:07,800
\nHe gave me a vision says held.
\nI couldn’t believe the Hope on <\/p>\n

643
\n00:40:07,800 –> 00:40:11,300
\nme early on his face better.
\nThen that our prayers are <\/p>\n

644
\n00:40:11,308 –> 00:40:14,400
\ngrounded in.
\nHope we know, A father is a <\/p>\n

645
\n00:40:14,400 –> 00:40:18,000
\nloving father and whatever
\nhappens will work out for the <\/p>\n

646
\n00:40:18,000 –> 00:40:20,600
\nbest loving care of all
\nconcerned. <\/p>\n

647
\n00:40:21,600 –> 00:40:26,600
\nEntitlements lead to demands.
\nWe have a right to see this man <\/p>\n

648
\n00:40:26,600 –> 00:40:30,800
\nhealed.
\nBut hope leads to please <\/p>\n

649
\n00:40:31,000 –> 00:40:35,100
\nfinally, I got down on my knees
\nbeside the bed, and pleaded with<\/p>\n

650
\n00:40:35,100 –> 00:40:39,300
\nGod, I desperately desire to
\nchange. <\/p>\n

651
\n00:40:39,300 –> 00:40:42,800
\nI acknowledge my inability to
\nmake it happen, myself. <\/p>\n

652
\n00:40:43,500 –> 00:40:49,400
\nAnd finally, therefore demands
\nwere not met or if not met will <\/p>\n

653
\n00:40:49,400 –> 00:40:52,700
\nnecessarily lead to bitterness
\nand anger. <\/p>\n

654
\n00:40:53,200 –> 00:40:57,100
\nI review my prayer journal and
\nsee God, doing less and less. <\/p>\n

655
\n00:40:57,600 –> 00:41:02,000
\nI get angry.
\nBecause why are you angry, my <\/p>\n

656
\n00:41:02,000 –> 00:41:04,900
\ndemand wasn’t mad.
\nWhy did you have the right to <\/p>\n

657
\n00:41:04,900 –> 00:41:07,300
\nmake a demand?
\nBecause I was entitled to see my<\/p>\n

658
\n00:41:07,300 –> 00:41:12,200
\nprayer answered and this is the
\npathway to a very unhappy prayer<\/p>\n

659
\n00:41:12,200 –> 00:41:17,300
\nlife that is still the hope that
\nleads to the plea that can lead <\/p>\n

660
\n00:41:17,300 –> 00:41:19,800
\nto Joy and praise and
\nmotivation. <\/p>\n

661
\n00:41:19,900 –> 00:41:24,300
\nIt felt like a dream.
\nShe says, I am studying a trade <\/p>\n

662
\n00:41:24,300 –> 00:41:29,400
\nto live for the glory of God.
\nPraise of God motivation with <\/p>\n

663
\n00:41:29,400 –> 00:41:34,100
\nthe Joy in the dream.
\nThese are the natural emotional <\/p>\n

664
\n00:41:34,100 –> 00:41:38,200
\nbyproducts of going down a
\nprayer life, founded this way, <\/p>\n

665
\n00:41:38,200 –> 00:41:42,100
\nthe Father Make Me prayer so we
\ncan see these words of <\/p>\n

666
\n00:41:42,100 –> 00:41:45,300
\nscripture.
\nThe Bible isn’t some dead old <\/p>\n

667
\n00:41:45,300 –> 00:41:47,300
\nbook.
\nSpeaking from thousands of years<\/p>\n

668
\n00:41:47,300 –> 00:41:51,200
\nago in Easter, tarek terms, it
\naffects real people’s real <\/p>\n

669
\n00:41:51,200 –> 00:41:55,500
\nlives, whether they see it, or
\nwhether they don’t, we could be <\/p>\n

670
\n00:41:55,500 –> 00:42:01,600
\neither one of these people.
\nDo we invite God to be present <\/p>\n

671
\n00:42:01,600 –> 00:42:04,600
\nin our lives.
\nThis is a matter very much <\/p>\n

672
\n00:42:04,600 –> 00:42:07,300
\ncentered in the United States
\nwhere I live where it is <\/p>\n

673
\n00:42:07,300 –> 00:42:10,300
\nmandatory now that God is
\nremoved. <\/p>\n

674
\n00:42:10,400 –> 00:42:14,300
\nEven by reference from
\neducational and other state and <\/p>\n

675
\n00:42:14,300 –> 00:42:18,200
\nfederally run establishments for
\nyears, we’ve been telling God to<\/p>\n

676
\n00:42:18,200 –> 00:42:21,300
\nget out of our schools, to get
\nout of our government and to get<\/p>\n

677
\n00:42:21,300 –> 00:42:24,300
\nout of our Lives, being the
\ngentleman that he is. <\/p>\n

678
\n00:42:24,300 –> 00:42:26,700
\nI believe that he has calmly
\nbacked out. <\/p>\n

679
\n00:42:27,200 –> 00:42:29,000
\nHow can we expect God to give
\nus? <\/p>\n

680
\n00:42:29,100 –> 00:42:30,900
\nUs his Blessing and his
\nprotection. <\/p>\n

681
\n00:42:31,200 –> 00:42:35,300
\nIf we demand that he leave us
\nalone whilst that’s a good <\/p>\n

682
\n00:42:35,300 –> 00:42:38,500
\ncomments and excellently
\ninsightful comment on a national<\/p>\n

683
\n00:42:38,500 –> 00:42:42,600
\nand social scale.
\nI wonder to what level is that <\/p>\n

684
\n00:42:42,600 –> 00:42:47,400
\ncould that also be true in your
\nlife and my life personally <\/p>\n

685
\n00:42:47,900 –> 00:42:53,800
\nhave, we invited God to be
\npresent Do we need to invite God<\/p>\n

686
\n00:42:53,800 –> 00:42:56,200
\nto be present?
\nIsn’t he with us anyway? <\/p>\n

687
\n00:42:56,700 –> 00:43:00,400
\nAh, you mean, do we have a right
\nto having God With Us? <\/p>\n

688
\n00:43:01,500 –> 00:43:04,000
\nThere’s some very interesting
\npassages in the scripture. <\/p>\n

689
\n00:43:05,100 –> 00:43:09,500
\nThat show that God actually
\nlooks for his disciples to <\/p>\n

690
\n00:43:09,500 –> 00:43:13,100
\ninvite him to be present.
\nYou may not have noticed this <\/p>\n

691
\n00:43:13,100 –> 00:43:15,300
\nbecause I certainly didn’t
\nnotice this. <\/p>\n

692
\n00:43:15,700 –> 00:43:20,700
\nBut when Israel went out into
\nthe Wilderness under Moses God <\/p>\n

693
\n00:43:20,700 –> 00:43:25,200
\nhas initially said, I’m not
\ncoming with you to remember that<\/p>\n

694
\n00:43:25,200 –> 00:43:28,600
\nI did I miss that – Reid so
\nfast. <\/p>\n

695
\n00:43:28,600 –> 00:43:30,000
\nI just skip right over the top
\nof it. <\/p>\n

696
\n00:43:30,500 –> 00:43:34,500
\nGod said, I’ll paraphrase.
\nYou guys are really annoying and<\/p>\n

697
\n00:43:34,500 –> 00:43:36,200
\nhe Kick me off every five
\nminutes. <\/p>\n

698
\n00:43:36,200 –> 00:43:38,700
\nI’ll tell you what, if I come
\nwith you, or probably wipe you <\/p>\n

699
\n00:43:38,700 –> 00:43:40,700
\nout.
\nAt some point, I will meet you <\/p>\n

700
\n00:43:40,700 –> 00:43:43,100
\nat the promised land off.
\nYou go. <\/p>\n

701
\n00:43:44,100 –> 00:43:45,700
\nClearly, that’s a bit of a
\nparaphrase. <\/p>\n

702
\n00:43:46,500 –> 00:43:49,000
\nYou are a stiff-necked people.
\nIf I were to go with you, even <\/p>\n

703
\n00:43:49,000 –> 00:43:50,700
\nfor a moment, I might destroy
\nyou. <\/p>\n

704
\n00:43:51,700 –> 00:43:54,500
\nIt’s actually pretty accurate to
\nwhat was said, so which Moses <\/p>\n

705
\n00:43:54,500 –> 00:43:58,500
\nwere replied Lord, if your
\npresence does not go with us. <\/p>\n

706
\n00:43:58,800 –> 00:44:01,800
\nDon’t even send us up from here.
\nHow will anyone know that? <\/p>\n

707
\n00:44:01,800 –> 00:44:04,700
\nYou are pleased with me and with
\nyour people, unless you go with <\/p>\n

708
\n00:44:04,700 –> 00:44:06,900
\nus, what else will distinguish
\nme? <\/p>\n

709
\n00:44:06,900 –> 00:44:10,000
\nAnd your people from all the
\nother people on the face of the <\/p>\n

710
\n00:44:10,000 –> 00:44:13,500
\nEarth.
\nThe Lord said to Moses, I will <\/p>\n

711
\n00:44:13,500 –> 00:44:18,000
\ndo the Everything you have asked
\nbecause I am pleased with you. <\/p>\n

712
\n00:44:19,000 –> 00:44:21,700
\nThat’s why God was with the
\nchildren of Israel. <\/p>\n

713
\n00:44:21,700 –> 00:44:24,900
\nIn the wilderness.
\nIt actually was the basis of an <\/p>\n

714
\n00:44:24,900 –> 00:44:27,500
\ninvitation from Moses without
\nit. <\/p>\n

715
\n00:44:27,700 –> 00:44:29,400
\nGod wasn’t going to go with
\nthem. <\/p>\n

716
\n00:44:29,400 –> 00:44:31,700
\nHe was going to meet them at the
\nPromised Land. <\/p>\n

717
\n00:44:34,800 –> 00:44:39,000
\nGod accompanies only when
\ninvited to do so God will do as <\/p>\n

718
\n00:44:39,000 –> 00:44:40,600
\nhe will.
\nI’m not trying to say God is <\/p>\n

719
\n00:44:40,800 –> 00:44:42,500
\nsomehow constrained by our
\nthoughts. <\/p>\n

720
\n00:44:42,700 –> 00:44:45,900
\nIf he decides, he will bust into
\nsomeone’s life in any such way. <\/p>\n

721
\n00:44:45,900 –> 00:44:48,200
\nHe, you certainly will take
\nPharaoh for example. <\/p>\n

722
\n00:44:48,600 –> 00:44:53,400
\nBut this is a text that least
\nsays God is looking for us to <\/p>\n

723
\n00:44:53,400 –> 00:44:58,200
\ninvite him along if we want him
\nto be present and active in our <\/p>\n

724
\n00:44:58,200 –> 00:45:00,600
\nlives.
\nGuess what? <\/p>\n

725
\n00:45:01,000 –> 00:45:03,100
\nJesus always does the same
\nthing. <\/p>\n

726
\n00:45:03,500 –> 00:45:08,300
\nJesus is the mirror image of his
\nfather, Perfect Image, and the <\/p>\n

727
\n00:45:08,300 –> 00:45:10,300
\nperfect representation of the
\nfather. <\/p>\n

728
\n00:45:10,800 –> 00:45:13,200
\nAs they approached the village
\nwhere they were going along the <\/p>\n

729
\n00:45:13,200 –> 00:45:18,100
\nroad to Emmaus, Jesus acted as
\nif he were going farther, but <\/p>\n

730
\n00:45:18,100 –> 00:45:20,900
\nthey urged him strongly stay
\nwith us for. <\/p>\n

731
\n00:45:20,900 –> 00:45:25,200
\nIt is nearly evening.
\nThe day is almost over so he <\/p>\n

732
\n00:45:25,200 –> 00:45:30,300
\nwent in to stay with them.
\nThey invited him and he went in.<\/p>\n

733
\n00:45:30,700 –> 00:45:33,100
\nYou’ll find the same thing in
\nJohn. <\/p>\n

734
\n00:45:33,100 –> 00:45:37,000
\nChapter 6, on the see, that time
\nthat Jesus was walking on the <\/p>\n

735
\n00:45:37,000 –> 00:45:39,900
\nwater.
\nDon’t be misled into thinking, <\/p>\n

736
\n00:45:39,900 –> 00:45:42,200
\nhe was walking towards them to
\ncome into the boat. <\/p>\n

737
\n00:45:42,800 –> 00:45:45,700
\nHe was walking towards, he was
\nwalking and he came into their <\/p>\n

738
\n00:45:45,700 –> 00:45:51,300
\nsite and was going to go past
\nthem and they called to him and <\/p>\n

739
\n00:45:51,300 –> 00:45:54,100
\nit’s their call that made him
\ncome to them. <\/p>\n

740
\n00:45:54,800 –> 00:45:59,500
\nI believe Jesus operates that
\nway in your life and in mine, I <\/p>\n

741
\n00:45:59,500 –> 00:46:03,900
\nbelieve he makes himself.
\nClearly visible on the horizon <\/p>\n

742
\n00:46:03,900 –> 00:46:09,200
\nand says, hello.
\nI’m walking by And then it’s up <\/p>\n

743
\n00:46:09,200 –> 00:46:15,200
\nto us to say wait, no.
\nDon’t walk by, please. <\/p>\n

744
\n00:46:15,200 –> 00:46:19,900
\nCome in, reside, with me.
\nAnd Jesus accepts, invitations <\/p>\n

745
\n00:46:19,900 –> 00:46:24,300
\nto come and reside, have?
\nI invited Jesus to reside with <\/p>\n

746
\n00:46:24,300 –> 00:46:30,200
\nme Have you?
\nHas it been a prayer of yours? <\/p>\n

747
\n00:46:30,700 –> 00:46:32,500
\nIs it a constant prayer of
\nyours? <\/p>\n

748
\n00:46:32,700 –> 00:46:36,400
\nIs it a rare prayer of yours?
\nHas it ever been a prayer of <\/p>\n

749
\n00:46:36,400 –> 00:46:39,500
\nhours?
\nAnd that I think is the <\/p>\n

750
\n00:46:39,500 –> 00:46:44,600
\neducation we gained from how to
\npray from the Lord Jesus Christ <\/p>\n

751
\n00:46:44,600 –> 00:46:49,100
\nand that wraps up then.
\nOh various series on growing <\/p>\n

752
\n00:46:49,100 –> 00:46:52,200
\ncloser to God and I thank you
\nvery much for your attention in <\/p>\n

753
\n00:46:52,200 –> 00:46:55,200
\nsummary.
\nThen what did we see Ruth? <\/p>\n

754
\n00:46:55,400 –> 00:46:58,500
\nGave us this advice, spread your
\nwings. <\/p>\n

755
\n00:46:58,600 –> 00:47:01,600
\nMeaning provide Mercy, you
\nspread your wings, you’ll learn <\/p>\n

756
\n00:47:01,600 –> 00:47:06,500
\nto fly closer to heaven.
\nJacob said no wrestling. <\/p>\n

757
\n00:47:07,200 –> 00:47:10,900
\nThe end never justifies.
\nThe means wait upon the Lord. <\/p>\n

758
\n00:47:11,100 –> 00:47:12,800
\nTook him a whole life to learn
\nthat. <\/p>\n

759
\n00:47:13,400 –> 00:47:17,300
\nJohn the Baptist told us.
\nYou want to grow closer to God. <\/p>\n

760
\n00:47:18,100 –> 00:47:23,900
\nTake care of the poor, and Jesus
\nsays, pray more invite me to be <\/p>\n

\npart of your journey and part of
\nyour discipleship. <\/p>\n

762

\nthese fascinating, scriptural <\/p>\n
