So why don't 12 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:38,080 Speaker 1: you start tell us a little bit about Jamie Hampton 13 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:39,440 Speaker 1: and your family and your podcast. 14 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:41,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, so I'm Jamie Hampton. 15 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:46,159 Speaker 2: I am a wife and mom of three kids. So 16 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,440 Speaker 2: we have a nineteen year old who's away at college. 17 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 2: We have a fifteen year old or fourteen, almost fifteen 18 00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 2: who's in ninth grade, and then an eleven year old daughter. 19 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 2: The others are boys who's going into sixth grade. So 20 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 2: we live in Utah. We recently relocated from Alaska, so 21 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 2: it was a big change of location and culture shock 22 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 2: and you know, climate change and everything else. But yeah, 23 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 2: we've been here for about a year and it's been 24 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,759 Speaker 2: going really well. And our podcast is the Praying Christian 25 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,840 Speaker 2: Women Podcast. My co host is Alana Terry. Alana and 26 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 2: I were longtime friends and prayer partners before and that's 27 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 2: kind of how Praying Christian Women was born out of 28 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:27,680 Speaker 2: our own conversations about prayer, our questions and basically it's 29 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:31,760 Speaker 2: just an extension of our talks and discussions over coffee 30 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 2: that we would have as friends, and we just kind 31 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 2: of morphed that into a podcast. 32 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 1: I love that. I think that is awesome. And so 33 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 1: my name is Katherine Seekers. I am host of Christian 34 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: Parent Crazy World. I have five kids, ages twenty seventeen, fifteen, ten, 35 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: soon to be eleven, and we also have an eight 36 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 1: year old. And so we had a little bit of 37 00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 1: a conversation about this because your new Life Audio casters now, 38 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 1: aren't you. You've become part of the Life Audio family recently, 39 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: which I have been a part of for a time. Right, 40 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 1: So it's been what a couple. 41 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 2: Months, Yeah, it's been several months, not too long. 42 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 1: Welcome being grafted into the family. I told you before 43 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 1: I was, I guess an original kitty or because I 44 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:20,359 Speaker 1: was created in house. Our show was created in Life audio. 45 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 1: I was a writer over at Crosswalk I Believe, Bible, 46 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,360 Speaker 1: City Tools and Christian Headlines, and they were looking for 47 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 1: some people to start podcasts and they came to me 48 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,800 Speaker 1: and I said, yeah, I would love to do that, 49 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 1: and so that's how my show kind of got started. 50 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:37,640 Speaker 1: We deal with tough theological, apologetic issues, cultural issues, lots 51 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,799 Speaker 1: of cultural issues on my show, as well as relational topics, 52 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 1: and so this one kind of leans into both of 53 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:47,960 Speaker 1: our shows a lot. Of course, your show is all 54 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: about prayer and my show deals with theological topics and 55 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 1: relational topics, and so that you know, from time to 56 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 1: time we dip into those kind of issues. So we 57 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 1: were introduced a few months ago and I proposed the 58 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:07,799 Speaker 1: idea of talking about Watchman Need's book let Us Pray Right. 59 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,800 Speaker 3: I had never read, and I am I'm blown away. 60 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 3: It's amazing. I can't wait to talk about it. 61 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 1: Oh, I'm so excited. So you take a lead there. 62 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: What were your thoughts on the book? 63 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 2: Oh, first of all, it was basic truths that I 64 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 2: pretty much knew. But then there were other things about 65 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,919 Speaker 2: it that just kind of blew my mind, specifically about 66 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:33,119 Speaker 2: the relationship between us and God and I've always known 67 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 2: that we have a partnership. But the way that Watchman 68 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 2: May explains that partnership, the understanding of it. 69 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 3: It infuses our. 70 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 2: Prayers and for me just stokes the fires of my 71 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 2: desire to pray in a way that really gives more 72 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 2: power and fuel to my prayers, if that makes sense, 73 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 2: And I think it unlocks doors with that mystery of 74 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 2: how faith is a part of our prayers that I 75 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 2: think is going to allow us to pray more powerfully. 76 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 2: I'm being a little cryptic because I want to go 77 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 2: into the nuts and bolts before we do that, though, 78 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 2: I would love for you to give us a little 79 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 2: bit of a background on who this man was. 80 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, so Watchman Nie was a Chinese church leader. He 81 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,479 Speaker 1: was born in nineteen oh three and he died in 82 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 1: nineteen seventy two, so he was definitely in the twentieth century, 83 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 1: but in China, so he lived through the Communist Chinese 84 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 1: Revolution under Mao Zedong, but prior to that, when he 85 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: was seventeen years old, this would have been in I 86 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:35,480 Speaker 1: guess in nineteen twenty he was radically saved, and by 87 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:39,479 Speaker 1: all accounts, his life was completely and totally devoted to 88 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,480 Speaker 1: the Lord, and he contemplated, I believe a lot before 89 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 1: becoming a believer, because he was wanting to understand is 90 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: this true? Is this real? And as he became a 91 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: believer in the church, there and much of the church 92 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,279 Speaker 1: obviously ended up becoming underground church that we know of today. 93 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 1: But he had some powerful encounters with God and learned 94 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,679 Speaker 1: a lot about prayer as a young man. In nineteen 95 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 1: twenty seven, he was struck with tuberculosis. Around that time, 96 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 1: I think or sometime thereafter, he was also stricken with 97 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 1: angina pectoris, which is an ailment that causes severe chest 98 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 1: pains and it reduces the flow of blood to the heart. 99 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,280 Speaker 1: So he went to the Lord and he prayed, he interceded. 100 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,280 Speaker 1: So that's a lot of what his book is about. 101 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,479 Speaker 1: There's different kinds of prayer. Prayer is just communication really 102 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:32,040 Speaker 1: with the Lord, and worship is a form of prayer. 103 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,040 Speaker 1: But the kind of prayer we're talking about in this 104 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 1: book is intercession, when we're interceding on behalf of ourselves 105 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 1: or on behalf of someone else. So it's a form 106 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,159 Speaker 1: of what I think we would call intercessory prayer. So 107 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 1: he interceded with the Lord and asked the Lord for 108 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:52,279 Speaker 1: healing from tuberculosis, and he was miraculously healed. He also 109 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:56,279 Speaker 1: prayed to be healed from angina pectorus and he was not, 110 00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 1: and he was kind of discouraged about that. One day 111 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 1: he was in prayer with the Lord and he saw 112 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,600 Speaker 1: some ships at sea that were near some rocks, and 113 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: God spoke to him very clearly, and he said, should 114 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 1: I remove the rocks or raise the water level? And 115 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 1: through that God taught me that sometimes he removes the rocks, 116 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 1: and that's what he did with the tuberculosis. He removed 117 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 1: the rocks. And I think we all see that in 118 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 1: our lives sometimes, and that's what we want, right We 119 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 1: want God to remove the rocks, but sometimes he keeps 120 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 1: them there and he increases our faith and he increases 121 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: the grace to us to rise above the rocks. The 122 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 1: rocks are still there, but the grace is there to 123 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,480 Speaker 1: rise above it. So His grace is always sufficient. So 124 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,480 Speaker 1: that's a little bit about the man who wrote this book. 125 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 1: It's called Let Us Pray. It's like eighty seven pages long, 126 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 1: and it is just jam packed from cover to cover 127 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:05,720 Speaker 1: with powerful principles about prayer. So I'm excited to dig 128 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 1: into that now that we know a little bit about him. 129 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, I couldn't stop often enough to write down or 130 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 2: voice dictate my thoughts because there were so many. I mean, 131 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 2: it is a small, power packed book. So yeah, Well, 132 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 2: so you kind of came out with sort of a 133 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 2: list of discussion points. And I know that you've read 134 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 2: this book before, and so I'm guessing you have a 135 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 2: pretty good grasp on his thoughts on prayer. But he 136 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 2: says that prayer is the union of the believer's thought 137 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 2: with the will of God. And I know that this 138 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 2: is this is a question that a lot of Christians have. 139 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 2: It's like, Okay, the Bible says, if you remain in 140 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 2: me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you 141 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 2: wish and it'll be given you. And if you pray 142 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 2: in accordance with the will of God, it will be 143 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 2: done for you and by my Father in Heaven. I mean, 144 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 2: the question isn't whether prayer is a thing that we do, 145 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 2: but it's there's this mystery of how do I know 146 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 2: how to pray in accordance with God's will to bring 147 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 2: about these things? So I don't know, do you want 148 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 2: to answer this first about him saying prayer is the 149 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 2: union of the believer's thought with the will of God. 150 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 2: And did this understanding change your thoughts on prayer? 151 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 3: So what about you? 152 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 2: Did it change your thoughts on prayer when you first 153 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 2: encountered this idea? 154 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 1: Is I'm trying to recall exactly when I came to 155 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: that understanding. I think a lot of it did have 156 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 1: to do with Watchman Ni. I'd read other books on prayer, 157 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 1: but he emphasizes it so much that there's essentially he says, 158 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 1: there's two kinds of prayer. There's prayer according to our will, 159 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,199 Speaker 1: and then there's prayer according to the will of God. 160 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:48,200 Speaker 1: And sometimes, hopefully more often than not, those would coincide, right, 161 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,320 Speaker 1: And sometimes it's just obvious if we're praying for a 162 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 1: lost person to be saved. Well. Second, Peter three nine 163 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 1: tells us that it's not God's will that any should perish, 164 00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 1: but that all should come to repentance. So now we've 165 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 1: got into a little bit of a discussion before we 166 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,560 Speaker 1: started about you know, the difference between the Calvinist position 167 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 1: on prayer and God's sovereignty and so triological issues like 168 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:15,079 Speaker 1: salvation that's sociology, is just the theology of salvation versus 169 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,320 Speaker 1: a more Armenian or traditional view. So that does come 170 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,200 Speaker 1: into play when we're talking about this issue of prayer 171 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,319 Speaker 1: a lot, and even when you're praying for the lost, 172 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,680 Speaker 1: because you know, is this person if you're more Calvinist spent, 173 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 1: which I am not. But the Calvinist spent would say, 174 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 1: only the elector saved. So do we even waste our 175 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 1: time praying for someone as an elect But we can't know, 176 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 1: So I guess we just have to pray for everybody, right, 177 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 1: I don't know, But the traditional or more Armenian view 178 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,680 Speaker 1: would say, no, it's God's will that all are saved. Therefore, 179 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 1: I am always praying according to the will of God 180 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 1: when I pray for salvation, right, So I think trying 181 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 1: to just you know, the critical aspect here is determining 182 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,439 Speaker 1: what the will of God is, right, how do we 183 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:02,440 Speaker 1: determine this and how do we know? How do we know? Well, like, 184 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 1: some things are a given. In my opinion, particularly from 185 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 1: the Armenian perspective, it's a given, and even from the 186 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,319 Speaker 1: Calvinist a perspective, you can't know, so I guess you 187 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 1: got to pray for it. But the Armenian perspective, it's 188 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 1: always God's will for someone to be saved. So I'm 189 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 1: always praying according to the will of God. When I 190 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 1: pray for a salvation, I believe, you know, Bias stripes, 191 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 1: we're healed, I'm going to pray for someone to be healed. 192 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 1: If they're ailing in their body, I'm just going to 193 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 1: pray it. But there are other times, in my opinion, 194 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 1: so understanding what the will of God is, it comes 195 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:36,440 Speaker 1: through intimacy, It comes through time and the Word. And 196 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 1: here's what it comes to, comes through listening, not just 197 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,560 Speaker 1: going on to my time with the Lord with my 198 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 1: big list of God, do this for me, and God 199 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 1: do this for me, you know, Please do this you 200 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 1: know And hopefully that's not what our parer life looks like. 201 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,960 Speaker 1: But it comes through that intimate time with the Lord 202 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:59,720 Speaker 1: where the Lord is prompting us and questioning us and 203 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 1: challenging us. Let me give this example when I've shared 204 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,080 Speaker 1: that we have five kids after we had three. We 205 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 1: had all of our kids late. Started at age thirty four, 206 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 1: had another child at thirty seven, and another child at 207 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,080 Speaker 1: almost thirty nine. So we closed up shop. We're done. 208 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 1: Only crazy people and celebrities have babies in their forties, 209 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 1: so we're done. When I'm forty two, I start having 210 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 1: dream after dream after dream of a little boy. I'm like, 211 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 1: it kind of got a little odd. I'm like, finally, 212 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 1: it happened so much. I was kind of just dismissing it, 213 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 1: ignoring it. And then I'm like, Okay, maybe I should 214 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 1: pray about this. So I started to pray about it, 215 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 1: and I felt very clearly in my spirit the Lord said, 216 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 1: you were done with your family. I wasn't you think 217 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 1: you got a better plan than me? And it was 218 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 1: really hard because I had no interest in going back 219 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 1: to babytown in my forties. My listeners know this story, 220 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 1: but this is a really good example of praying according 221 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,199 Speaker 1: to the will of God, because I kind of did 222 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 1: feel like I had a better plan because I didn't 223 00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 1: want to have another baby. But that produced a really 224 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 1: big spiritual problem. Because he's God, I'm not so either 225 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 1: he's going to be lord over every part of my 226 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 1: life or not. And if he is saying that he 227 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 1: has more children for us, if that is his will, 228 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,440 Speaker 1: I can either get on board with his will, or 229 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 1: I can negate his will, or deny his will, or 230 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 1: rebel against his will. So what am I gonna do. 231 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:20,960 Speaker 1: So I wrestled with this and what I did as 232 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 1: I said, Lord, I don't want this, but here's my 233 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 1: heart changed my will, make my will like yours. And 234 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,080 Speaker 1: it took a while. Was over the course of probably six' eight. 235 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,840 Speaker 1: MONTHS i wasn't telling. ANYBODY i thought it was. CERTIFIABLE 236 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 1: i thought it was. Crazy but THEN i find you, 237 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 1: KNOW i had to talk to my husband about it 238 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 1: and tell him The lord took me from a place 239 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 1: of not wanting another child to a place of wanting 240 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,840 Speaker 1: another child worse THAN i ever. Did so that was 241 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 1: the JOURNEY i was. On and by the TIME i got, 242 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 1: there and then my husband he had his little journey 243 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 1: he got, there we were on board that we felt 244 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 1: that The lord had another child for. Us at this, 245 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 1: POINT i was really really convinced this was the will Of, 246 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 1: god because he took me from a place where my 247 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,080 Speaker 1: will was the opposite to a place where this was 248 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 1: in line with. Him and, therefore WHEN i started to 249 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 1: pray that we would conceive and have not only another, 250 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 1: child but a, BOY i KNEW i was praying according 251 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 1: to the will Of god BECAUSE i could see that. Trajectory, 252 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 1: now we don't always have that lens into our prayers 253 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 1: to know AM i praying according to the will Of? 254 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 1: God BUT i do believe that comes through intimacy with 255 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 1: The Holy, spirit spending time with, him spending time In his, 256 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 1: word and just sitting there silently and asking, Him, god 257 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 1: what is your will in this, situation and allowing him 258 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 1: to speak. 259 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 2: Yes AND i think that in our Modern western culture 260 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:43,960 Speaker 2: we are very. Shortsighted we want instant. Answers we want 261 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 2: to type something into, CHAT gpt Or google or whatever and. 262 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 3: Get the answer back. 263 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 2: Immediately and SO i think it primes us against a 264 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 2: prayerful relationship With. 265 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:59,120 Speaker 3: God we Want god to be Like google Or, CHAT. 266 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:02,559 Speaker 2: Gpt we want to be okay or you, Know, amazon 267 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:06,400 Speaker 2: place your, order bet your thing, within you, know even same. 268 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 2: Day now That i'm not In, alaska there's this thing 269 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 2: called same day, delivery which is revolutionized my, life, right. 270 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 1: But Praise god for. 271 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 3: It, Lord But god is not like. 272 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 2: That and SO i think we have to cultivate, patience 273 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 2: and we have to cultivate, stillness and we have to 274 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 2: Cultivate like What i've heard recently several times is this 275 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 2: idea of we have to attune our spiritual ears to 276 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 2: the frequency Of god's, voice because it's like the old 277 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 2: fashioned dial for the, radio where you just have to 278 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 2: very very slowly turn it until you get the frequency 279 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 2: of the station you're looking, for and a little to 280 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 2: the left or a little to the, right you're going 281 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:55,240 Speaker 2: to hear something different and maybe completely. Different and so 282 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,480 Speaker 2: sometimes it's by trial and. Error sometimes it's by hearing 283 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 2: him wrong and moving in a direct that ends up 284 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 2: not being good or not being you, know in the, 285 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 2: end what. 286 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 3: He had planned for. 287 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 2: You but it takes, patience and as you said, earlier 288 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 2: it takes a commitment to reading his. Word that's one 289 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 2: way that we kind of attune our ears to his. 290 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 2: Voice we see what he says in, scripture which we 291 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 2: know to be, true and so then when we hear 292 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 2: things that are outside of, that it becomes easier to 293 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 2: recognize things that are. Contrary so like let's say you're 294 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 2: listening to let's Say god's frequency is a country music radio. 295 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 2: Station when you hear classical, music it's different rights and you're, like, 296 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 2: oh that's not. It you can hear within a second 297 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:43,560 Speaker 2: you can, tell oh that's not the STATION i, want, 298 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 2: Right and So i'm hopeful that as we spend time 299 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 2: meditating In god's, word as we kind of look at 300 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 2: prayer as an adventure and pray in WAYS i don't. 301 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 2: KNOW i sometimes feel scared to pray for something Because 302 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 2: i'm afraid it's outside Of god's. 303 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,440 Speaker 3: Will but how are we ever. 304 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 2: Going to know if we don't put those things out 305 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,480 Speaker 2: To god and then see what comes. BACK i feel 306 00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 2: like it's kind of a trial and error as we're 307 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,680 Speaker 2: tuning into the frequency Of his. Voice because WHAT i 308 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 2: have found is AS i become more and more mature 309 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:24,280 Speaker 2: as a, believer and As i've prayed, more it becomes. 310 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 2: Easier and it doesn't mean that it's fail. Proof it 311 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 2: doesn't MEAN i Hear god clearly all the, time BUT 312 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:35,880 Speaker 2: i feel like it becomes easier to respond to the 313 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 2: correct nudgings or to understand what does it feel like 314 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:42,320 Speaker 2: in my body to hear from The Holy? 315 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 3: Spirit does that make any? 316 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 1: Sense it, DOES i think, absolutely BECAUSE i came up 317 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 1: with a. SAYING i think it might have been AFTER 318 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,200 Speaker 1: i read this book the first, time or what is 319 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:05,959 Speaker 1: another prayer? Book though It's god's will that we know his? 320 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:07,640 Speaker 3: Will, yes it. 321 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 1: Is god's will that we know his, Will. 322 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:13,200 Speaker 2: Yes but he's not trying to trick us or be you. 323 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:16,919 Speaker 1: No, no and no he's. Not he doesn't want us 324 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 1: to you, know it is his will for us to 325 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:23,359 Speaker 1: know what his will. Is but like you, said it's a, 326 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:29,880 Speaker 1: journey and he uncovers. That as we press, in as we, 327 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:33,240 Speaker 1: pray as we add in things like, fasting these spiritual, 328 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 1: disciplines as we separate ourselves from the world and the world's, 329 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,959 Speaker 1: voices we're able to hear his voice more, clearly, because 330 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 1: like you, said all those other frequencies are out. There 331 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,640 Speaker 1: but when we separate ourselves from those, things when we 332 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:51,440 Speaker 1: take some concentrated time to spend in his, presence and 333 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,560 Speaker 1: we take concentrated time to spend in his, words we 334 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 1: take concentrated time to divorce ourselves from all the other 335 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 1: voices that may be out there that are competing for our, 336 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 1: attention then we can hear his voice more. Clearly and 337 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:09,400 Speaker 1: for those of you who are younger and are feel 338 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:12,240 Speaker 1: like this is just so complicated and so, DIFFICULT i 339 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 1: can remember younger in my. FAITH i read a Book 340 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,640 Speaker 1: Hinds feet On High places By Hannah. Herner it's a beautiful. 341 00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:21,359 Speaker 1: Book so it's this allegory Where the main character is 342 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,560 Speaker 1: named Much, afraid and she's going trying to get to 343 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,879 Speaker 1: high places and she's following the. Shepherd she's following the 344 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,679 Speaker 1: shepherd up this path and she loses side of the 345 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 1: shepherd and she kind of loses side of the, path 346 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:36,320 Speaker 1: and she's so Afraid i've lost, Him i've lost the right. 347 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,280 Speaker 1: WAY i don't know which Way i'm supposed to be. 348 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,920 Speaker 1: Going and this kind of parallels to what is your? Will? 349 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 1: God which way AM i supposed to be? Going what 350 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,119 Speaker 1: AM i supposed to be? Praying and then finally the 351 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,240 Speaker 1: shepherd comes back and she's, LIKE i couldn't see. YOU 352 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 1: i DIDN'T i was so afraid i'd gotten off the. 353 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 1: Path And i'm going to definitely paraphrase this because it's 354 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 1: been twenty five, years but this impacted me so powerfully 355 00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,800 Speaker 1: as a young, adult a. Believer he says to. Her 356 00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 1: the shepherd looks at, her and he, says did you 357 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 1: really Think i'd let you get off the path and 358 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,320 Speaker 1: not let you? Know his love was so, overflowing he 359 00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:08,280 Speaker 1: wasn't going to let her get so far off the 360 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:10,440 Speaker 1: path as long as you, know, yeah you can get 361 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,840 Speaker 1: off the path if you're walking in, rebellion and you're 362 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 1: rebelling Against god in his, ways and you're not trying 363 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 1: to spend time with, him and you're trying to either 364 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,439 Speaker 1: divorce yourself from his word or try to make his 365 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,159 Speaker 1: word into something that it's, not trying to twist it 366 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,239 Speaker 1: and turn it into a pretzel to affirm what you 367 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,359 Speaker 1: want to. Do, yeah you can get off the path. 368 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,920 Speaker 1: There but if you're genuinely seeking The, lord and you're 369 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 1: genuinely seeking his, will he will reveal it to. You you, 370 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:42,919 Speaker 1: know maybe not in a neon flashing, sign or maybe 371 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,119 Speaker 1: not as much of it as we want to. Know 372 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,159 Speaker 1: maybe it might just be the next step down the 373 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:50,119 Speaker 1: road that you need to, take but he will reveal. 374 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,280 Speaker 1: It it is his will for you to know his. 375 00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,800 Speaker 1: Will SO i think we can rest in that fact 376 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,600 Speaker 1: that if we're seeking, him he will reveal it to. 377 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,359 Speaker 1: Us and when we understand and what his will, is 378 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:05,199 Speaker 1: we can pray that forth in. Confidence and as we 379 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,040 Speaker 1: were talking, before you, Know i've got friends who are. 380 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,800 Speaker 1: Sick i'm going to pray for their healing Because Bias, 381 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:13,120 Speaker 1: stripes we're healed. Now it's always discouraging when you pray 382 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:14,919 Speaker 1: for someone to be. Healed and they're. Not when we 383 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 1: just talked About Watchman, need what did he? Say he 384 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 1: was healed from tuberculosis and the one, instance but not 385 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:25,920 Speaker 1: from angina. Pectora and so the other thing we can 386 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,479 Speaker 1: always pray according to as will Is god give this 387 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,360 Speaker 1: person the grace for this part of the journey that they're. 388 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 1: ON i have someone, very very very dear friend of 389 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:39,680 Speaker 1: mine who right now the only diagnosis left IS. Als 390 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 1: and four months ago this person was walking and now 391 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:45,959 Speaker 1: they're in a. Wheelchair that's the only diagnosis they have. 392 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 1: Left AM i accepting that, No god's name is, Bigger 393 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:55,840 Speaker 1: it's bigger THAN. Als SO i am praying for a complete. 394 00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,359 Speaker 1: Healing and some of the principles in this book he talks, 395 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 1: about you, know transactional, prayer you, know looking at your 396 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 1: prayers almost in a legal. Way because the enemy is 397 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 1: going to attack. Us he has come to, steal to, 398 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 1: kill and. Destroy that's what he. Does that's his mo 399 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:17,240 Speaker 1: and he will do that if left, unchallenged our prayers 400 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,720 Speaker 1: are many times the things that prevent his work from. 401 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,680 Speaker 1: PREVAILING i do believe. THAT i believe that that's what 402 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,359 Speaker 1: the scriptures. Show that we have a part to, play 403 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 1: which is another big principle in the. BOOK i would 404 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,320 Speaker 1: love to dig into this idea of co laboring With. 405 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,879 Speaker 1: God you know a lot of people, say, well do 406 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:37,400 Speaker 1: my prayers really? Matter do they really accomplish? Anything If 407 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 1: god is all, powerful and he, is and he's all, 408 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:45,880 Speaker 1: knowing he's, omniscient he's, omnipresent he's, omnipotent then what does 409 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,119 Speaker 1: he need me? For why does he need me to? 410 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,160 Speaker 1: Pray that's one of the big obstacles to pray because 411 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 1: we don't really have a motivation to do. It If 412 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:54,720 Speaker 1: he's going to do what he wants to do, anyways 413 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,399 Speaker 1: then why SHOULD i even? Participate? Why why does it? 414 00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 1: Matter and here's the WAY i look at. It this 415 00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:05,440 Speaker 1: is also leaning back into some differences between your More 416 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:10,680 Speaker 1: calvinist perspective of sovereignty versus Your armenian perspective of. Sovereignty 417 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 1: AND i would be on The armenian. Side BUT i 418 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 1: think that is shown throughout scripture that, yes, Sovereignly god 419 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,719 Speaker 1: is going to do What god is going to. Do for, 420 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:23,200 Speaker 1: example he gave The israelites The Promised. Land he, said 421 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 1: this is a land THAT i have given to, you, 422 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 1: Right but what happened with The israelites that came out Of. 423 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:33,159 Speaker 1: Egypt they failed to. Believe they failed to stand in 424 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:36,879 Speaker 1: faith With joshua And caleb's reports about what was in 425 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 1: The Promised. Land they came back, saying it's flowing with 426 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 1: milk and. Honey the grapes are so massive we can't 427 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:46,160 Speaker 1: even carry. Them all the other Ten spies came back and, said, 428 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:50,239 Speaker 1: no there's giants were like grasshoppers in their, sight and 429 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,320 Speaker 1: they sided with. That So god was going to give 430 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:58,200 Speaker 1: the nation Of israel The Promised, land but those individuals 431 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:02,119 Speaker 1: didn't get to go in because they didn't. Believe for forty, 432 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,439 Speaker 1: years they had to wander around and they had to 433 00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:08,720 Speaker 1: die off in the. Desert so, Sovereignly god was going 434 00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 1: to do What god was going to. Do but we 435 00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,439 Speaker 1: get to choose whether or not we are going to 436 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,879 Speaker 1: participate in. It and is his will going to be 437 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:18,960 Speaker 1: accomplished in my life and in your? Life and that's 438 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:24,400 Speaker 1: somewhere we would potentially argue, Theologically, okay Is god's will always? Accomplished? 439 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 1: Well Second peter three nine says that it's not his 440 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,159 Speaker 1: will that any should, perish but all should come to. 441 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,480 Speaker 1: Repentance do some, perish, well we know that some do, 442 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:37,440 Speaker 1: perish SO i can choose not to cooperate With. God 443 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,560 Speaker 1: but IF i choose to cooperate With, god and he's 444 00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,520 Speaker 1: looking for people to partner with him in, prayer then 445 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 1: it is true that some things may go undone not his, 446 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 1: overarching sovereign will for all of. Humanity BUT i believe 447 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,359 Speaker 1: his will for my. LIFE i did not have to 448 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,680 Speaker 1: say yes to Having segars number, four and by the, 449 00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:58,960 Speaker 1: way that turned into A segars number five, too because 450 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,120 Speaker 1: he revealed to us he had one more child After 451 00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,679 Speaker 1: seekers number. Four if he didn't stop, There i'm, like 452 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,120 Speaker 1: he only told me the one at, First Thank. Goodness 453 00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:09,440 Speaker 1: BUT i could have said, no AND i still would 454 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:11,720 Speaker 1: be a. Believer i'm still going to. Heaven it doesn't 455 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:13,800 Speaker 1: mean that the rest of my life is forfeit BECAUSE 456 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:15,879 Speaker 1: i Disobey god OR i didn't get on board with 457 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 1: his plan and his will for my. Life BUT i 458 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,480 Speaker 1: would not have two of my kids in my. Life 459 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,920 Speaker 1: he didn't supersede my. WILL i didn't accidentally get. PREGNANT 460 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 1: i cooperated With, god and so did my. Husband he 461 00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 1: had a big part to, play but we cooperated With 462 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:34,720 Speaker 1: god in order to see his will come about in our. Family, 463 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:38,159 Speaker 1: now it's not his will that kids wander away from the, 464 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 1: faith that people are addicted to drugs and. Pornography this 465 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,080 Speaker 1: is not his, will and yet it happens all the 466 00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:46,240 Speaker 1: time because we do have a free, will so we 467 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:49,840 Speaker 1: can cooperate With god or. Not and prayer is one 468 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,879 Speaker 1: of the primary. Ways we're leaving the physical realm and 469 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 1: going to the spiritual realm when we, pray and we're 470 00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:59,639 Speaker 1: helping to Enact his will here on earth as it 471 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:01,800 Speaker 1: is an. Heaven it says that In lord's prayer, right 472 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:05,720 Speaker 1: it Says Thy Kingdom, Come thy will be done on 473 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:07,760 Speaker 1: earth as it is in. Heaven so he has a 474 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,359 Speaker 1: will in. Heaven what we do is we get close to, 475 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 1: him we ascertain what that, is and when we understand 476 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,240 Speaker 1: what it, is we speak it. Forth and let me 477 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 1: tell you this MAY i don't know if it'll depending 478 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,879 Speaker 1: on where you are, theologically may ruffle some. Feathers but 479 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,880 Speaker 1: WHEN i understood that it Was god's will for us 480 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 1: to have a fourth, child and he called this child 481 00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:31,119 Speaker 1: to be a, SON i began to pray very authoritative, 482 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:34,159 Speaker 1: prayers LIKE i on my, KNEES i would be like 483 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:37,760 Speaker 1: in the name Of, JESUS i command my body to 484 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,680 Speaker 1: come in alignment with the will of my Heavenly father 485 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:44,480 Speaker 1: and produce a. Son and then we actually had a 486 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 1: lot of scriptures we got, together especially for a fifth. 487 00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:49,639 Speaker 1: Child that was another big journey because we had a 488 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:53,399 Speaker 1: miscarriage in. BETWEEN i wasn't really praying, emphatically but we 489 00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,960 Speaker 1: came to a place WHERE i had a miscarriage at 490 00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 1: forty four and Then, GOD i got really. Mobilized at this, 491 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:02,719 Speaker 1: Point i'm, Like, Okay, GOD i believe you promised us 492 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,840 Speaker 1: this fifth, child and so we.

Strategy we have a 669 00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:27,239 Speaker 1: strategy with The, lord and we can partner with him 670 00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:29,799 Speaker 1: and do. Things this is one of the great principles 671 00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:33,080 Speaker 1: of the. Book do things go undone when we don't? Pray, 672 00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:35,439 Speaker 1: yes they. DO i don't have to be a part 673 00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:37,520 Speaker 1: of the Promised. LAND i don't have to receive the. 674 00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:40,240 Speaker 1: PROMISE i can choose to stay out in the. Desert 675 00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:43,719 Speaker 1: but By, GOD i am going to be one of 676 00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:46,320 Speaker 1: those believers who persists in. Prayer i'm not going to 677 00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:49,279 Speaker 1: miss it BECAUSE i didn't pray for. It now Maybe 678 00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:51,000 Speaker 1: i'll miss it BECAUSE i prayed for the wrong thing 679 00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:53,879 Speaker 1: AND i didn't properly ascertain the will Of. God BECAUSE 680 00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:56,440 Speaker 1: i can't change his. Mind that's another big principle in the. 681 00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:59,000 Speaker 1: Book i'm not trying to Change god's. Mind What i'm 682 00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:01,680 Speaker 1: trying to do is get through the. Opposition and we 683 00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:04,240 Speaker 1: have a really big example of that In daniel chapter, 684 00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:08,160 Speaker 1: ten When daniel prayed and fasted for three weeks and 685 00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:11,320 Speaker 1: The angel was coming with the answer to his, prayers 686 00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:14,440 Speaker 1: but he was upheld by The prince Of. Persia that's 687 00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:16,880 Speaker 1: in the demonic when the spiritual realm he had to 688 00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:19,759 Speaker 1: fight that. Off and what If daniel got tired after two. 689 00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:22,760 Speaker 1: Weeks what if we had gotten tired after six months 690 00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:26,239 Speaker 1: AND i didn't go, ON i don't think my child 691 00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:28,960 Speaker 1: would be. Here but we have to persist in prayer 692 00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:33,680 Speaker 1: and believe that we're co laboring With. God and it. 693 00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:37,640 Speaker 1: Matters our prayers deeply, matter because IF i don't think they, 694 00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:40,759 Speaker 1: matter Then i'm not going to do. It it's just 695 00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,719 Speaker 1: a waste of. Time it's just. Theatrics it's just jumping through. 696 00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:47,560 Speaker 2: Hoops and again that is the enemy coming up against 697 00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:50,239 Speaker 2: us with that belief that, oh it's, Okay god's going 698 00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:52,719 Speaker 2: to do, it he wants to, anyway just let it. 699 00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:55,880 Speaker 2: Go what you said brought up two things THAT i 700 00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:58,560 Speaker 2: think are so important that he. Said thing one is 701 00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:03,360 Speaker 2: this analogy that he gives of Where god's. 702 00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,279 Speaker 3: Will is and what our role. 703 00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:11,600 Speaker 2: Is we and our prayers are like the rails of a. Train, 704 00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:17,720 Speaker 2: yes And god's plans And god's kingdom. Come his will 705 00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:21,560 Speaker 2: be done is the. Train and the train could go 706 00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:23,399 Speaker 2: where the tracks have not been, laid but it will 707 00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:24,480 Speaker 2: sink into the earth and go. 708 00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:27,120 Speaker 3: Nowhere but where we. 709 00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:31,120 Speaker 2: Are he talks, about, like let's pray to lay these 710 00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:36,239 Speaker 2: tracks like a network across the whole, earth where there 711 00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:41,040 Speaker 2: is no place where his desired will doesn't get to 712 00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:42,160 Speaker 2: go on. 713 00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:46,440 Speaker 3: Earth AND i mean the question is why Does, god. 714 00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:50,520 Speaker 2: Being omnipotent and omniscient and, omnipresent why does he need 715 00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:54,960 Speaker 2: us and he, doesn't but he wants us to. Partner 716 00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:58,520 Speaker 2: he gives us the privilege because he loves. Us and 717 00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,680 Speaker 2: for there's still a, MYSTERY i, mean there's still things 718 00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,880 Speaker 2: we don't understand about. Why but for some, reason he 719 00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:08,279 Speaker 2: loves us that much and he wants us to come into. 720 00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:13,560 Speaker 2: Partnership and so WHEN i think of the, blessings the 721 00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:17,920 Speaker 2: things that he wants to, do the, kingdom purposes that 722 00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:21,279 Speaker 2: he desires that are already conceived In, heaven that he 723 00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:25,080 Speaker 2: wants to bring down to, earth that it just this 724 00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:29,839 Speaker 2: whole idea of our prayers being trained tracks just made 725 00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:32,719 Speaker 2: me go To god.

Sundays 761 00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:14,920 Speaker 1: but when a believer really gets a hold of the 762 00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:18,080 Speaker 1: concepts that he has in these books and starts to, 763 00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:22,440 Speaker 1: pray that that might let me do the first EPISODE 764 00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:24,440 Speaker 1: i ever did on. Prayer this is. Hilarious this is 765 00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:26,640 Speaker 1: true THOUGH i did, it actually a little series on. 766 00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:29,440 Speaker 1: Prayer early, on between the TIME i turned in the 767 00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:32,600 Speaker 1: episode and the time it came, out my computer, crashed 768 00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:35,600 Speaker 1: like completely. CRASH i had to go spend thousands of 769 00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:37,880 Speaker 1: dollars to get a new. Computer i'm, like are you? 770 00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:42,160 Speaker 1: Crazy but, no this is what enemy AND i can 771 00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:45,040 Speaker 1: tell you more than any other topic That i've ever 772 00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:47,279 Speaker 1: ever podcasted, on this is the, one AND i think 773 00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:50,040 Speaker 1: the enemy hates the. Most. YEAH i can talk about 774 00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:53,120 Speaker 1: all the cultural issues and those are, important or political, 775 00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:57,239 Speaker 1: issues or even some deep weighty theological. Issues but if 776 00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:00,520 Speaker 1: the enemy can get us to not, pray if he 777 00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:04,399 Speaker 1: can sideline believers on this issue of, prayer Because god 778 00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:08,120 Speaker 1: has given us, Authority he has given he wants to 779 00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:12,000 Speaker 1: work through our. Prayers our prayers are the. Tracts why 780 00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:14,960 Speaker 1: is he chosen to work this? WAY i can't really answer. 781 00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:18,839 Speaker 1: That that is the mystery. Part but what we see 782 00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:22,719 Speaker 1: time and time and time again throughout scripture is That 783 00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:26,160 Speaker 1: god is partnering with human beings in order to accomplish 784 00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:28,399 Speaker 1: his will here on. Earth And i'm going to read 785 00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:30,719 Speaker 1: a couple Of nies quotes. Here on page, four he, 786 00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:34,799 Speaker 1: says prayer does not alter that Which god has. Determined 787 00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:37,920 Speaker 1: it never changes. Anything it merely achieves What he is 788 00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:45,040 Speaker 1: already for. Ordained, prayerlessness, though does affect change Because god 789 00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:48,960 Speaker 1: will let many of his resolutions go suspended due to 790 00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:53,080 Speaker 1: the lack from his people of prayer full cooperation with. 791 00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:56,920 Speaker 1: Him that's on page. Four so our prayers don't change 792 00:40:56,920 --> 00:40:58,960 Speaker 1: what his will. Is we're not trying to Say god 793 00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:01,759 Speaker 1: do something that he didn't already want to. Do, rather 794 00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:05,040 Speaker 1: we're ascertaining what his will, is and we're praying that. 795 00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:07,719 Speaker 1: Forth but if we don't do, that will his will 796 00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:10,400 Speaker 1: not come to pass in this particular situation or in 797 00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:14,640 Speaker 1: this particular. Life very possibly that could be the. Case 798 00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:17,560 Speaker 1: and you, KNOW i remember a story of once that 799 00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:21,680 Speaker 1: a minister told of another minister Who God he was 800 00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:24,400 Speaker 1: actually a, businessman And god called him to start a, 801 00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:27,040 Speaker 1: church and he was going to start this. Church he 802 00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:31,279 Speaker 1: actually had the plans drawn, up and he got discouraged 803 00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:34,360 Speaker 1: it got. Hard there was a lot of. Opposition and 804 00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:38,080 Speaker 1: so one day he was driving by and he saw 805 00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:40,759 Speaker 1: a church that looked exactly like the church that he 806 00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:43,959 Speaker 1: was supposed to, build right where he was supposed to build. 807 00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:47,360 Speaker 1: It and he went there week after week weeping in 808 00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:49,400 Speaker 1: the front, row and the pastor was. Preaching he was, 809 00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:52,160 Speaker 1: like why is this guy constantly? Here he has a deep. 810 00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:54,960 Speaker 1: Burden and he went and talked to him and he asked, him, 811 00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:57,480 Speaker 1: like what's going? On and he showed him the plans 812 00:41:57,640 --> 00:42:00,839 Speaker 1: for the building that they were. In he got. Discouraged 813 00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:03,960 Speaker 1: he didn't pray, through he didn't keep seeking The. Lord 814 00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:06,799 Speaker 1: now he's still a, believer he still Loves, god but 815 00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:10,680 Speaker 1: he gave up like Like. Daniel you, know it would 816 00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:12,600 Speaker 1: have been Like daniel giving up on week. Two he 817 00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:16,040 Speaker 1: didn't persevere all the way to receive the answer From. 818 00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:20,240 Speaker 1: God so if we don't have to participate In god's, 819 00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:23,959 Speaker 1: PLAN i didn't have to Have seegers four and five 820 00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:27,880 Speaker 1: And god do through their lives what he wanted to. 821 00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:31,319 Speaker 1: Do god can pick somebody. Else and this think of, 822 00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:35,120 Speaker 1: esther LIKE i, Said mordecai came to her and, said you, 823 00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:37,279 Speaker 1: know maybe you were born for such a time as. 824 00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:39,080 Speaker 1: This but if, not if you choose not to do, 825 00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:42,279 Speaker 1: This god will raise up a. Deliver he will deliver his, 826 00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:44,759 Speaker 1: people but you will be. Lost so we have a 827 00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:47,680 Speaker 1: choice as to whether we want to participate with What god. 828 00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:50,799 Speaker 1: Does and on page twenty five he, says how many 829 00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:54,560 Speaker 1: things The lord indeed desires to, do yet does not 830 00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:58,279 Speaker 1: perform them because his people do not. Pray he will 831 00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:01,600 Speaker 1: wait until men and women agree with, him and then 832 00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:05,520 Speaker 1: he will. Work this is a great principle In god's 833 00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:08,960 Speaker 1: working and it constitutes one of the most important principles 834 00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:12,080 Speaker 1: to be found in The. Bible AND i think when 835 00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:16,480 Speaker 1: we understand That god's waiting on, us That he's not. 836 00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:16,920 Speaker 2: Just going to do. 837 00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:19,840 Speaker 1: Yet ultimately his will will be done because you know 838 00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:21,719 Speaker 1: what he's going to.

Calling he will find that. 842 00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:33,279 Speaker 1: Person somebody will say.

You and he goes into the 941 00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:27,120 Speaker 1: binding and loosening principles in the book from those are 942 00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:30,320 Speaker 1: From matthew sixteen. Nineteen and by the, way just listen 943 00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:32,200 Speaker 1: to a long series where a lot of people don't 944 00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:34,719 Speaker 1: believe that we have this. AUTHORITY i want to acknowledge 945 00:49:34,719 --> 00:49:36,200 Speaker 1: that there may be some people out there in the 946 00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:38,759 Speaker 1: listening audience and, well that doesn't apply to. US i 947 00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:41,560 Speaker 1: didn't see a statute of limitations on. IT i looked for. 948 00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:44,040 Speaker 1: IT i could not find. That a lot of people 949 00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:46,760 Speaker 1: say that was just an authority they gave to the original. 950 00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:50,840 Speaker 1: DISCIPLES i don't. Believe so what happened. There it's a 951 00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:54,880 Speaker 1: fascinating chapter In matthew Sixteen jesus is speaking to his. 952 00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:58,439 Speaker 1: Disciples he takes them To Cesarea, philippi to what's called 953 00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:00,879 Speaker 1: The gates Of. HELL a lot of people think he's 954 00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:02,799 Speaker 1: just referring to the gates Of, hell like. 955 00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:06,120 Speaker 3: He just learned this, recently and it blew my. Mind 956 00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:06,920 Speaker 3: oh my. 957 00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:09,560 Speaker 1: Gosh so The gates Of hell, is, well it's a 958 00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:12,520 Speaker 1: physical place where all of the you, know the the 959 00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:15,960 Speaker 1: false gods were, worshiped the, sacrifices where it was the 960 00:50:16,040 --> 00:50:20,120 Speaker 1: portal of all demonic activity in that region of the 961 00:50:20,160 --> 00:50:23,960 Speaker 1: world at that. Time, idea just imagine all of these 962 00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:27,600 Speaker 1: demons coming and going. Right and he's just had this 963 00:50:27,800 --> 00:50:30,359 Speaker 1: encounter with The pharisees where they were asking him for a, 964 00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:32,680 Speaker 1: sign and he's telling, him you, know it's. This you, 965 00:50:32,680 --> 00:50:35,759 Speaker 1: know they want him to perform like a you, know 966 00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:39,080 Speaker 1: dancing monkey or, something and he refuses to do. It 967 00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:42,480 Speaker 1: and so he goes with his disciples in front of 968 00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:46,480 Speaker 1: imagine just the most satanic place on earth that you 969 00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:49,319 Speaker 1: can think. Of that's where he's. Standing he's standing in 970 00:50:49,320 --> 00:50:51,759 Speaker 1: front of that, place and he looks at him and he, 971 00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:54,239 Speaker 1: says who do people say THAT i? Am and they're, like, 972 00:50:54,239 --> 00:50:57,440 Speaker 1: well some Say john The, Baptist i'm say the spirit Of.

Am And, Peter ah Love. 975 00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:06,080 Speaker 1: Peter he speaks up and he, says you're The, christ 976 00:51:06,120 --> 00:51:09,560 Speaker 1: the son of The Living. God and he, said blessed are, You, 977 00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:13,560 Speaker 1: Peter because flesh and blood man did not reveal this to. 978 00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:15,680 Speaker 1: You The spirit Of god revealed this to. You and he, 979 00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:17,279 Speaker 1: Said i'm going to give you the keys of the. 980 00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:21,439 Speaker 1: Kingdom and upon this. Rock what is the? Rock it's 981 00:51:21,480 --> 00:51:24,239 Speaker 1: the revelation of Who Jesus christ really. Is he's Not 982 00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:28,600 Speaker 1: john The, Baptist he's Not. Elijah he is The Promised. 983 00:51:28,760 --> 00:51:32,320 Speaker 1: Messiah and he came to take back what the enemy 984 00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:35,640 Speaker 1: stole and the. Garden and this is WHERE i differ 985 00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:37,920 Speaker 1: with a lot of the. Criticisms they're, like, well we 986 00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:40,960 Speaker 1: think we have this binding and loosening principle given to 987 00:51:41,080 --> 00:51:44,440 Speaker 1: us just In matthew. Sixteen, no what happened was we 988 00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:48,080 Speaker 1: gave it Away adam And eve at the. Fall that 989 00:51:48,239 --> 00:51:51,360 Speaker 1: gave the keys and the authority on earth to the. 990 00:51:51,480 --> 00:51:55,560 Speaker 1: Enemy and Then jesus came back to regain that. Authority 991 00:51:55,680 --> 00:51:57,759 Speaker 1: and then he turns around and who does he give it? To, 992 00:51:57,880 --> 00:52:01,360 Speaker 1: peter who represents the. Church he, Says i'm going to 993 00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:03,759 Speaker 1: give you the kings of keys of The, kingdom and 994 00:52:04,320 --> 00:52:07,400 Speaker 1: whatever things you bind on earth shall have been bound in. 995 00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:11,520 Speaker 1: Heaven that's the more literal. Translation we're not binding things 996 00:52:11,520 --> 00:52:14,240 Speaker 1: he hasn't.
