13
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 3: so excited to be here with you today again to

14
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 3: talk about the power of prayer. You know, often we

15
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:59,959
Speaker 3: talk about prayer in how we talk to God or.

16
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: Even how He talks to us. But today I want

17
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: to talk about how God listens to us.

18
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 3: How when we pray, God hears our prayers.

19
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: Just a few months.

20
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 3: Ago, I remember waking up one morning and I was

21
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 3: feeling a little discouraged. I had a lot on my plate,

22
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 3: a lot of things to do, and I did not

23
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 3: have the motivation that I wanted to do them.

24
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 1: A lot was.

25
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 3: Going on in that season, and I remember praying that morning.

26
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 1: Lord, will you please encourage me today?

27
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 3: I just need some courage to get through this day

28
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 3: and to get things done.

29
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: And I posted a YouTube video.

30
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 3: If you know me, you know, I run a women's

31
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,559
Speaker 3: ministry called Beloved Women, and we have a YouTube channel

32
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 3: by the same name, And so I posted.

33
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: A video that morning.

34
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 3: I didn't really think anything of it, and I shared

35
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 3: a clip of the video on my Instagram account.

36
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: A few hours later, I received a call.

37
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 3: From a friend. Now this is a This is a

38
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 3: friend that I don't talk too often. So when I

39
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 3: saw her name on my phone on the caller ID,

40
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 3: I made short to answer because I don't normally talk

41
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 3: to her on the phone. We might chat through email

42
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 3: or text, but never a direct call.

43
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: That not that frequently.

44
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 3: So I picked up the phone and she was telling

45
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 3: me that she saw my video and she was just

46
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 3: saying how it encouraged her and how she loved it,

47
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,079
Speaker 3: but not even all that. I mean, she wentn't even

48
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 3: further to say, you know, the editing quality, and that

49
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 3: she liked my ear rings, and then she said that

50
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 3: she really loved my hair and that was particularly encouraging.

51
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 3: For me at the time, because I had recently cut

52
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,519
Speaker 3: my hair and tried a different hairstyle, and I remember

53
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 3: I was feeling a little insecure about it. So for

54
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 3: her to compliment me on my looks and the content

55
00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 3: of the video and the quality of the video, y'all,

56
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 3: I felt encouraged. And in that moment, I remembered the

57
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 3: prayer that I prayed that morning, that I specifically asked

58
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,239
Speaker 3: God for encouragement, and here it was in the form

59
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 3: of a call, a random, a seemingly random call from

60
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 3: my friend, and I told her, I said, you know,

61
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 3: I prayed for some encouragement today, because she said, you know,

62
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 3: I didn't want anything, girl, I just want I just

63
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 3: called to encourage you. And I told her, I said,

64
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 3: I prayed for that this morning, and she said, and.

65
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: These words just stuck with me.

66
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 3: She said, well, you have the ear of the Father.

67
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 3: And in that moment I was just even more encouraged.

68
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 3: It was just answered prayer over answered prayer, that when

69
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 3: I pray, God hears me. And I want to encourage

70
00:03:56,200 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 3: you too that when you pray, God hears your prayers.

71
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 3: So today I want to talk about five signs to

72
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 3: know that God is hearing you when you pray. I

73
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 3: hope that it opens up your spiritual eyes and ears

74
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 3: as you live your life to know that you're not

75
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 3: just talking to the sky or you're.

76
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 1: Not just talking to the ceiling, that there is a real.

77
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 3: Life and active God that hears you when you pray.

78
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 3: The first sign that God hears your prayers is a

79
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 3: changed heart.

80
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: Specifically a peaceful heart.

81
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 3: When God hears us and we focus on him in

82
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 3: our prayers, we will have peace. Isaiah twenty six' three,

83
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 3: says you keep him in perfect, peace whose mind is

84
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 3: stayed on you because he trusts in. You you, KNOW

85
00:04:55,839 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 3: i say this almost every, episode AND i do this because.

86
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: It's so important to remember about.

87
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 3: Prayer but prayer isn't about just getting the things we

88
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 3: want or the circumstances we. Want it's about connecting with

89
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 3: The god of the. Universe and when we do, that

90
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 3: when we do, that we will have. PEACE i woke

91
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 3: up in the middle of the night the other night

92
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:24,359
Speaker 3: AND i was. ANXIOUS i had just some concerns on my,

93
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 3: mind and The lord reminded me to pray about, it

94
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 3: just pray about, it and SO i did in that,

95
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 3: Moment and ALTHOUGH i didn't have an answer prayer or

96
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 3: things didn't, change it was still the middle of the.

97
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: NIGHT i had so much peace THAT i was able

98
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: to go back to.

99
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 3: Sleep you, know when we, Pray god's only answer isn't

100
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 3: just to give us what we want or change our.

101
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 3: Circumstances he also wants to give us peace in the

102
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 3: middle of whatever we're going through our. Facing and so

103
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 3: when you're praying To god and maybe your circumstances haven't

104
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 3: yet changed or you haven't received the answer you're looking.

105
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 3: For if you have, peace know That god hears your.

106
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 3: Prayers the second sign That god hears your prayers is

107
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 3: that you are stronger.

108
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: Spiritually you are feeling a closer relationship To.

00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 3: God spiritual maturity is a byproduct of a strong prayer.

110
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 3: Life james five sixteen, says the prayer of a righteous

111

Speaker 3: pray not only will you feel more peace As god,

113
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 3: answers but you'll also receive more strength From him as

114
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 3: you're feeling empowered to do things that you probably didn't

115
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 3: think that you could. Do That's god answering your. Prayers

116
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 3: That's him giving you the strength and the courage that

117

Speaker 3: twenty six forty, one watch and pray that you may

119
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 3: not enter into. Temptation the, spirit indeed is, willing but

120
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 3: the flesh is.

121
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: Weak as you receive.

122
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 3: Power and strength to overcome, temptation to endure, hardship to

123
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 3: persevere through challenging. Times that Is god answering your, prayers

124
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 3: because those prayers and connecting With him are giving you

125
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 3: the strength to carry. On the third sign That god

Speaker 3: hears your prayers are answered. Prayers god will answer our

127
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 3: request to him in three, ways a, yes a, no

128
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 3: or a. Maybe now here's the. Thing if the answer

129
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 3: is yes and we get what we ask, for it's

130
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 3: not a.

131
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: Coincidence we can know That god heard our.

132

Speaker 1: Backyard AND i.

173
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 3: Knew in that moment that in his own, way in his,

174
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:20,679
Speaker 3: Sovereignty god was answering my. Prayer now here's the. Thing

175
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 3: answered prayers don't always happen that. Quickly sometimes they do

176
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 3: Praise god for, that but sometimes they. Don't but an

177
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 3: answered prayer is always a sign That god hears. You

178
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 3: the fourth sign to know That god hears your prayers is.

179
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 1: When you experience the.

180
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 3: Unimaginable ephesians three point twenty, says now to him who

181
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 3: is able to do far more abundantly than all that

182
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 3: we ask or, think according to the power at work within.

183
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 3: Us Sometimes god answers our. Prayers but sometimes he goes

184
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 3: above and, beyond and it is to the point where

185
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 3: we know this was nothing but the hand Of.

186
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:10,319
Speaker 1: God and in those moments we can know That god

187
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 1: heard our.

188
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 3: PRAYERS i was telling you about the health challenges THAT

189
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 3: i had this, summer and due to, THAT i had

190
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 3: to push back our beloved women's. Conference, now we thought

191
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 3: about canceling, it but we were adamant about not doing.

192
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:33,119
Speaker 3: That once we reviewed, everything we really wanted.

193
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:34,319
Speaker 1: To push through and have this.

194
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 3: Conference but because we really weren't able to market with

195
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 3: all the changes of moving a conference date and having

196
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 3: the gifts refunds for people that couldn't make that particular,

197
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 3: DATE i knew that we were going to have a

198
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 3: financial loss as we hosted this year's, conference AND i

199
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 3: REMEMBER i sent to our prayer. TEAM i sent a

200
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 3: video to our prayer team AND i, said you, know

201
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 3: my help's getting. Better we had to push the conference.

202
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 3: Back we're probably going to have a financial, loss but

203
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 3: we're gonna have the conference, anyways BECAUSE i really trust

204
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 3: That god put it on my heart for us to

205
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 3: have this conference this. Year there's a purpose behind, it

211
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:20,520

228
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 3: i was. Surprised my mom texted me at three o'clock

229
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 3: in the. Morning she, Said, oh my, goodness you're in

230
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 3: THE U Version bible. App AND i was, like, oh

00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 3: they posted my. Video WHAT i didn't expect to happen was.

232
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 3: THAT i, mean there are millions of people that at

233
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 3: that moment seeing that, video not only saw the, video

234
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 3: but they were connected To Beloved.

235
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: Women they were connected to our. Ministry they learned about the.

236
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 3: Conference and we made more sales for that conference in

237
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 3: one day than we made all summer. Long, LISTEN i

238
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 3: need you to understand that it wasn't about the. Money

239
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 3: that this testimony is About god's sovereignty and his, faithfulness

240
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 3: and that he will go above and beyond when we.

241
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 3: Pray the fifth way to know That god hears your

242
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 3: prayers is that he promised to hear.

243
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 1: You here's the. Thing sometimes we.

244
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 3: Pray and we just don't Feel. God we don't feel

245
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 3: like he's, there we don't feel like he's. Around But

246
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 3: god's faithfulness is greater than our. Feelings he promises to,

247
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,559
Speaker 3: hear he promises to, listen and his promises are true no.

248
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 1: Matter how we.

249
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 3: Feel even if you don't feel like your heart is

250
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 3: changed or have, peace even if you don't feel spiritually

251
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 3: stronger or closer To. God even if you haven't seen
