1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:03,960
Speaker 1: Let us pray. Is not this the fast that I

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 1: have chosen to loose the bands of the wicked, to

3
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:12,319
Speaker 1: undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free?

4
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 1: And that ye break every yoke Isaiah fifty eight six.

5
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:23,080
Speaker 1: Heavenly Father, you have given me all the tools I

6
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:26,280
Speaker 1: need to be successful against the works of the enemy.

7
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 1: Your teaching me how to war against the powers and

8
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 1: principalities in the spiritual realm that are taking your children

9
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 1: into bondage. You take their deliverance seriously. Self denial through

10
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 1: fasting is a way to strengthen the Holy Spirit and

11
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: weaken all the carnal indulgences and distractions. It is a

12
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: spiritual discipline that quiets my soul so I can hear

13
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 1: your gentle whispers. More clearly, self denial is a valuable

14
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 1: part of Christian discipleship and puts my flesh in subjection

15
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 1: to the Holy Spirit. As I decrease, your power increases.

16
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 1: And it is that anointing that breaks the bondages of

17
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,639
Speaker 1: wickedness and destroys the heavy burden that weighs down your people.

18
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: When the authority of Christ is declared and coupled with fasting,

19
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 1: the oppressed go free, and the yoke of their bondages

20
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 1: are broken. Spiritual warfare requires my mind to be focused

21
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: on the word of God and a dedication that is

22
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: willing to deny self for the sake of others. This

23
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: is the fast you have chosen and called me to,

24
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:46,479
Speaker 1: where I will see your miracles perform and those oppressed

25
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: set free. Glory to the risen Lord. Give me the

26
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: strength and perseverance to serve you with such dedication that

27
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: I will see your hand move in the land of

28
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: the living than Jesus' name.

29
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 2: Amen.

47
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 4: Today, we want to preach a series called Pray First

48
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 4: and because we are now in our series on fasting

49
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 4: and on prayer, and I don't know how many of

50
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 4: you have joined this on that, but we do it

51
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 4: every single year at Inspire Church. We've been doing it

52
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 4: for the last fifteen years out of twenty one years.

53
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 4: Because back then, I don't you know, I didn't know

54
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 4: enough about fasting. We never practice a lot of fasting

55
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 4: when we were growing up. But then we realized that fasting,

56
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 4: of setting ourselves apart for God, put us in buildings

57
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 4: like this. It allowed us to reach more people for Jesus.

58
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 4: Fasting in prayer has done miraculous things in personal lives

59
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 4: and also in the life of our church. And I

60
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 4: would highly recommend that you set aside even the last

61
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 4: week of our fast so you fast whenever you want.

62
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 4: But I'm telling you right now, there's nothing like giving

63
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 4: God first, the first part of your year, the first

64
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 4: part of your finances, the first part of everything. Offer

65
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 4: it to God and watch what God can do with

66
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 4: the rest. So I've been on this fast with everybody else.

67
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 4: For me, it's been more of a liquid fast for

68
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 4: the first four day three days when liquid, here's liquid.

69
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 4: I just drank water and one cup of coffee. Just

70
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 4: drank water, and I was like, wow, this is like

71
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 4: I was less worried about what fruit nut mix am

72
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 4: I eating?

73
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 2: You know, what.

74
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,359
Speaker 4: Daniel friendly food can I have? You know, I was

75
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 4: not even thinking like that. I actually was thinking, I'm hungry,

76
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 4: But I'm going to drink this water because I want

77
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 4: to press into God, because I need breakthrough in twenty

78
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 4: twenty three, and i want something powerful to happen in

79
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 4: our church, in my mine, in Lisa's life.

80
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 2: So I'm going to do that.

81
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 4: And so when we begin to set apart our lives

82
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 4: for God and say, Lord, I want to give you

83
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 4: my first part of my year. Fasting for some of

84
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 4: you could be like if you got a real social

85
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 4: media problem, like I'm saying, if you tiktoking and you

86
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 4: if I take away your TikTok, you tweak.

87
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 2: That's a problem. That's a problem. You got a problem.

88
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 4: So maybe you put that phone aside for two weeks

89
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 4: and then you don't even touch it. You turn off

90
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 4: all your notifications and it actually becomes a phone rather

91
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 4: than a little computer, and.

92
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 2: We check your social media. That might help it.

93
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,239
Speaker 4: Actually, Watch what your mental health will be like after

94
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 4: one week without your phone, right, Watch what your mental

95
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 4: health will be like. You feel better, you feel fresher

96
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,280
Speaker 4: for some of you. You're gonna do a Daniel fast

97
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 4: for some of you, Like, what's a Daniel fast? So

98
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 4: Daniel Fast is when the book of Daniel Well, Daniel

99
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 4: Shadrack Mishak and a Bend to Go and his friends

100
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 4: set themselves apart for God and decided that they would

101
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 4: not eat of King W.

102
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 2: Knezza's table.

103
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 4: They were not going to eat the choice foods, the

104
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:36,919
Speaker 4: training that was a training table. That's a d one

105
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 4: training table. They were giving them meats, they were giving

106
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 4: them park, they'd give them anything. They're trying to bunk

107
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 4: them up. And Daniel and his friend said, we're not

108
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,799
Speaker 4: having that. We're gonna use this. And God found favor

109
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 4: with them, and the fast that they went on. The

110
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 4: food that they ate was lentos, beans and vegetables.

111
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 2: And that was it. And water.

112
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 4: That's what they And by the time of that examination

113
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 4: took place, when they did the physical check, they said

114
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 4: Daniel and his friends were ten times better than everybody

115
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 4: else in the kingdom at that time. So that's a

116
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 4: Daniel fast. For some of you, that's no meat, no

117
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 4: sweet no sweets, no kinds of meat, all of that.

118
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 4: And then for some of you you're gonna do liquid,

119
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 4: some of you're gonna do juices. Some of you you're

120
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 4: gonna do vegetables, vegetable juices, some.

121
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 2: Of you are gonna do water.

122
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 4: And so as long as you here's the deal, as

123
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 4: long as you pray. If you're fasting but not praying,

124
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 4: you're just on a diet, okay. And nothing wrong with

125
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 4: the diet, nothing wrong, Everything good about a diet, but

126
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 4: everything good with prayer and fasting. Let me tell you why,

127
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 4: Because when Jesus came down from the Mount of Transfiguration

128
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 4: with Peter, James and John, remember the part where the

129
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 4: glory came.

130
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 2: The glory came, and.

131
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 4: They heard the cloud of the cloud, and God spoke

132
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 4: through the cloud by the way, our heavenly Father is

133
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 4: the original cloud.

134
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 2: Okay, not iicloud, you know. Anyway, God had the.

135
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 4: Original cloud, and he spoke from the cloud and he

136
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 4: said to Peter, this is my son. Listened to him,

137
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 4: and when they descend from Mount Hermann, which is in

138
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 4: Lebanon's and Syria that area, and come down to northern

139
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,159
Speaker 4: Israel and they come down and they have to decompress

140
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 4: when they're coming down. When they get to the bottom

141
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 4: of the mountain, what do they find. They find a

142
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 4: demon possessed boy throwing himself into the fire. And his

143
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 4: dad can do nothing about it, can't do nothing about it.

144
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 2: He can't handle it. He's at his wits end.

145
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 4: He's tried therapy, he's tried counselors, he's tried rabbis, he's

146
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 4: spent money, he's given everything for the healing of his son,

147
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 4: but nothing is happening. And the disciples they're like, we

148
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 4: don't know what to do. We tried to pray, we

149
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 4: don't know what to do. And Jesus shows up on

150
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 4: the scene cast the demon out, and they go, how

151
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 4: you do that? He goes, this kind only comes out

152
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 4: by prayer and fasting. Sometimes you are only praying, but

153
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 4: a God says good prayer. But now why don't you

154
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 4: add fasting to that? And see what I can do

155
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 4: with prayer and fasting. And you know, one of my

156
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,679
Speaker 4: favorite movies of all time, Top Gun. The first one, Okay,

157
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 4: number two is even better, like oh my gosh. And

158
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 4: one of my favorite movies of all time was Top Gun.

159
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 2: The first one.

160
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 4: You know why is when they get in too close

161
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 4: for combat and they're flying and all of a sudden

162
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 4: you got Goose, and you got what's his name?

163
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 2: Tom? What's his Maverick? Mathic goose of Maverick.

164
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 4: They're flying, coming through, coming through, coming through, They coming through,

165
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 4: coming through.

166
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 2: Oh I'm too close, Goose, too close. I gotta go

167
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 2: to guns. I gotta go to guns. I gotta go

168
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 2: to guns instead of they heat, sinking whistles. You gotta

169
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 2: go to guns. And fasting is like going to guns anyway.

170
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 4: So so I'm danieling just today because a Lisa said,

171
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 4: please eat something, Please eat something. You're irritable, eat something.

172
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 4: I can see some of them at all. I'm gonna

173
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 4: do that. I'm gonna pull that. I'm gonna get irritable.

174
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 4: My wife says, eat something. So I'm danieling today and

175
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 4: then I go back on my liquid on Monday.

176
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 2: And uh. And here's the other benefit.

177
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 4: I fitn't these pants anyway?

178
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 2: Praise God? Are you ready to fast? Everybody?

179
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 4: Amen? You know, every society. And about a year and

180
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 4: a half ago when I started teaching the series called

181
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 4: The Way Back on how do we find our way

182
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:11,319
Speaker 4: back in Christianity in the nation that we live, in

183
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 4: the state that we are a part of.

184
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 2: How do we do that? How do we do that?

185
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 4: And one of the books that I read was a

186
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 4: book by cal Thomas and cal Thomas is a syndicated

187
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 4: radio columnist who is also an author.

188
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 2: And cal Thomas wrote about five years ago.

189
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 4: That every nation or civilization has two hundred and fifty

190
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 4: years where it is at its zenis if we were

191
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 4: to look at the different nations and empires, the different

192
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 4: kingdoms of this world in a five thousand year period

193
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 4: according to historians. And a book that I read thirty

194
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 4: years ago that came back to life about five years

195
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 4: ago by Strauss and Howell called the Fourth Turning. We

196
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 4: are currently in the fourth turning of this cycle that

197
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 4: we talk about in that period of time, in this

198
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 4: five thousand years. In the five thousand years of recorded history,

199
00:09:55,920 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 4: there have been twenty six kingdoms, empires, nations.

200
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,599
Speaker 2: That really ruled the world.

201
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,079
Speaker 4: At that time, twenty six out of five thousand years.

202
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 4: But the thing about those nations, for twenty six of them,

203
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 4: all twenty six, their zenith of power was two hundred

204
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 4: and fifty years, two hundred and fifty years. They still existed,

205
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 4: but in iteration and a massive difference of what they

206
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 4: were before. As a matter of fact, all of these

207
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 4: twenty six kingdoms, nations and empires.

208
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 2: You were talking about the Greeks, We're talking about the Romans.

209
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:33,079
Speaker 4: We're going to the Trojans, we're going through even Great Britain,

210
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 4: even you name all of these that you know about,

211
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 4: all of them.

212
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 2: Two hundred and fifty years, two hundred fifty years.

213
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 4: Why two fifty I don't know why the number, but

214
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 4: I can tell you this, how it was all rotting

215
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 4: from within, and it wasn't the enemy from the outside.

216
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 4: And whenever a nation is weak, as a matter of fact,

217
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 4: whenever a nation is weak, which leads me to this

218
00:10:56,280 --> 00:11:00,199
Speaker 4: quote by the founder of Dubai, who built Dubai, name

219
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 4: is shik Rashid and normally wouldn't quote a person in

220
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 4: this fashion, but I'm going to quote it. He says,

221
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 4: my grandfather rode a camel. My father rode a camel.

222
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 4: I drive a Mercedes. My son drives a land Rover.

223
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 2: Must be nice.

224
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 4: His son will drive a land rover, but his son

225
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 4: will ride a camel.

226
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 2: Why is that, they asked him.

227
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 4: Well, the reason why is because he's obviously heard about

228
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,679
Speaker 4: the Book of Revelation. Because in the Book of Revelation,

229
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 4: in the Battle of Armageddon, in that valley, in that

230
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 4: valley in Israel, it will be so filled with carnage

231
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,599
Speaker 4: that there will be that they will be riding horses

232
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 4: again during the final battle of the world. But then

233
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 4: he goes on to say, hard times. You could put

234
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 4: it all on one slide. Oh, we should have separated anyway.

235
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 4: Hard times create strong men. Strong men create easy times.

236
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 4: Easy times create weak men. Here we are and weak

237
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 4: men create difficult times. And many will not understand. But

238
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,359
Speaker 4: that's why you have to raise warriors and not parasites.

239
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 4: We are in a season of difficult times created by

240
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 4: weak men.

241
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 2: But now is our time. Now's our time.

242
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 4: Now's our time to believe that no matter what happens

243
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 4: in twenty twenty three. No matter what downsizing dumbing down

244
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,199
Speaker 4: that you've done already, because you've looked at what's happening

245
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 4: in the economy, You've looked at your tediomritrate account has

246
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 4: gone down. Whatever it is. Cryptocurrency is worthless right now,

247
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 4: but it's gonna make a comeback one day. I don't

248
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 4: know what you're looking at and what are the signs

249
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 4: of the times. I don't know if you're seeing the

250
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 4: decadence of our culture. I don't know if you're seeing

251
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 4: the corruption that is going on. And I don't know

252
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 4: if you're looking at what's happening with the hedonism in

253
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 4: our world, especially in our country. I can tell you

254
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 4: right now that the sanctity of life, the sanctity of life,

255
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 4: the birth of a baby is absolutely critical to this nation.

256
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 4: I think our nation hangs on the balance and how

257
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 4: we handle babies from now on, the unborn especially. But

258
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 4: now what I believe that God can still intervene. The

259
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 4: Bible tells us Second Chronicles, chapter seven, verse fourteen says,

260
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 4: if my people, you know this verse. If everybody say,

261
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 4: if that's a big if, that's a big if. But

262
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 4: if we we can't speak for the nation. But if

263
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 4: we God's people are called by my name, called by

264
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 4: His name, will humble themselves in pray online and seek

265
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 4: My face and turn from their wicked ways. I will

266
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 4: hear from heaven. I will forgive their sins, and I

267
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 4: will restore their land. God wants to restore this land,

268
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 4: forgive our sins, where as we seek His face and

269
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 4: turn from our ways.

270
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 2: But the big word is if.

271
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 4: If I believe you're here, because you are, If I

272
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 4: believe you're in this room because we are.

273
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:57,560
Speaker 2: If.

274
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 4: But God gave us prayer. Our biggest is prayer. We

275
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 4: have other weapons. Don't don't get me wrong. We have fascinaing,

276
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 4: we have prayer. God has given us a mouth. God

277
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 4: has given us freedom of speech. We have other weapons.

278
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 4: But let me tell you about the number one weapon,

279
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 4: and it is the weapon of pray. That's why this

280
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 4: message is called pray first. So let me give you

281
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 4: the priority of prayer that Jesus put into this. In Mark,

282
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 4: chapter one, verse thirty five, it says, early in the morning,

283
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 4: while it was still dark, Jesus got up and slipped

284
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 4: out to a solitary place to pray. Number one, Jesus

285
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 4: placed a priority on prayer because early in the morning

286
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 4: is when he went to pray. Number one, there is

287
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 4: a priority of prayer. Put a priority of prayer on

288
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 4: your life. You can pray all day, but put a place.

289
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 4: Number two, a place of prayer, a place of prayer.

290
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 4: And where's your place of prayer? Do you have one?

291
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 4: Create one? Figure out which one is it going to be?

292
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 4: Is it gonna be on the side of your bed.

293
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 4: Are you gonna roll off your bed? Go immediately to

294
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 4: your knees. Thank you God, I got breath.

295
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 2: In my lungs.

296
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 4: Thank you God that I got a family. Thank you

297
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 4: God I could have a job. Thank you God, I

298
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 4: got yous, my heavenly Father. Whatever it is, find your priority,

299
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 4: find your place. Where is your place to pray? The

300
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 4: third one is there is a plan of prayer, and

301
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 4: I'm going to run through this quick because I want

302
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 4: to get to my main passage, the plan of prayer.

303
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 4: So we find it in the Lord's prayer. Our Father,

304
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 4: who are in heaven, Hello be thy name that Kingdom.

305
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 2: Come.

306
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 4: Come on, all my Catholics, says, go, come on that

307
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 4: can come, that will be done on earth as it

308
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 4: is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread,

309
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 4: and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who

310
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 4: trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but

311
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 4: deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom, the power,

312
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 4: and the glory are yours now and forever. A man,

313
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 4: good job. But what God gave us through that prayer

314
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 4: is a pattern. We find it in Matthew chapter six.

315
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 4: Here it is the plan of prayer number one. Our Father,

316
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 4: which aren't in heaven paternal paternal, hallowed be thy name

317
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 4: his presence, that kingdom come, that will be done on

318
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 4: earth as it is in heaven.

319
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 2: The priority.

320
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 4: Give us this day our daily bread, our sustenance, our

321
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 4: food from you provision. And forgive us our debts, as

322
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 4: we forgive our debtors who trespass against us. God forgive me.

323
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 4: As I forgive those, and as I forgive those, Please

324
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 4: forgive me. And as I continue, as I continue forgiving,

325
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 4: I need your forgiveness. And God, when I forgive, Please

326
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 4: forgive me. When they don't forgive, and I still forgive,

327
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 4: and I need your forgiveness.

328
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 2: God, forgive me.

329
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 4: Forgive me, he says, pardon the next one, and lead

330
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 4: us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Protection

331
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 4: and then the praise and the power for Dyne is

332
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 4: the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen,

333
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 4: take out your phones. Take a picture of that. I'll

334
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 4: step out of the way so you don't have to

335
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 4: write it down. One person in the family. Take the photo,

336
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 4: send it later on. Don't airdrop right now.

337
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 2: Because it's gonna it's gonna, it's gonna pull.

338
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 4: You out of the zone. Okay, you got it all right,

339
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 4: here we go. I wanna talk to you today about

340
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 4: the power of bold prayers. I think in twenty twenty

341
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,879
Speaker 4: three we got to be bolder, bolder in a lot

342
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 4: of aspects of our life, not as quiet as we

343
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 4: might have been before. And I would like to translate

344
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 4: that into our prayer life. To pray bold prayers. Don't

345
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 4: pray timid prayers. Every prayer works, but I want you

346
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 4: to know you can pray bold prayers. Come on, somebody, say, Amen.

347
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 4: The writer of Hebrews and Chapter four says literal, so

348
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 4: let us come what boldly, boldly to the throne of

349
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 4: our gracious God, where we will receive his mercy, and

350
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 4: we will find grace to help us when we need

351
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:42,120
Speaker 4: it most. I think we can come boldly before God.

352
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 4: As a matter of fact, there's a man in the

353
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 4: Old Testament that pray the bold prayer. It was audacious.

354
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 4: How you had the nerve to pray that kind of prayer?

355
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 4: Who do you think you are? If you go through

356
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 4: the Book of First Chronicles and you get there during

357
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,119
Speaker 4: your devotions, you should hit it in your daily Bible

358
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 4: right around March April. When you get to First Chronicles.

359
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 4: It's after first Seam, Second Samuel, First King, Second Kings,

360
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 4: First Chronicles. I'm gonna warn you right now. Pastor already

361
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 4: told you there's gonna be nine chapters of what you

362
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 4: might get lost nine chapters. The first nine chapters the

363
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 4: First Chronicles. You're gonna be like, oh my gosh, I'm

364
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:13,919
Speaker 4: tired of this. Oh my gosh. You're gonna read all

365
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 4: about who begot who right, who was the father of who?

366
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 4: How many kids they had? And you're gonna hear all

367
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:24,159
Speaker 4: about that for nine and a half chapters. It's gonna

368
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 4: stall you for three to four days in your Bible devotions,

369
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 4: and you might quit and say I'm done. I can't

370
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:34,640
Speaker 4: do this is I'm gonna have to find something give

371
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 4: me some psalms, give me some.

372
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:37,440
Speaker 2: Jesus and the Gospels.

373
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:39,879
Speaker 4: Whatever it is, I'm gonna warn you right now, But

374
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,879
Speaker 4: I also want you to know that somehow, someway in

375
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 4: the middle of that nine and a half chapters, God

376
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 4: knew that you would need an oasis. God knew that

377
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,439
Speaker 4: we would need a drink of water. And he puts

378
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,680
Speaker 4: a young man who lived through adversity. And in this

379
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:56,919
Speaker 4: adversity we find this young man. And his name is

380
00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 4: found in First Chronicles, chapter four, Versus nine and ten,

381
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,679
Speaker 4: and it says, and you might know this Jabez was

382
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:08,440
Speaker 4: more honorable than his brother's and his mother watched this

383
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 4: online named him Buenos Aires Jabez, saying I gave birth

384
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:18,159
Speaker 4: to him in pain. I first want to see it

385
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 4: go on record of saying, what is wrong with his mom?

386
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,439
Speaker 4: Who would name your kid something like that? Like he

387
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:27,680
Speaker 4: comes out of the womb and automatically she goes pain.

388
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 4: What's his name? Pain? Are you sure? Yes?

389
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 2: Pain?

390
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,920
Speaker 4: What's his middle name? Double pain? What's his last name?

391
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,400
Speaker 4: He ain't got one? Like I'm telling you right now,

392
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 4: I don't know what's wrong with her his mom to

393
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 4: raise a boy and call him pain. But I can

394
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 4: tell you this. We don't know if she died during childbirth.

395
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 4: We don't know if she had morning sickness for nine months.

396
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,159
Speaker 4: We got it, you were a little literal when you

397
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 4: did that. Whatever it was. We don't know if she

398
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:52,879
Speaker 4: didn't get no epidural. I don't know if if she

399
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 4: just didn't get some a little bit whatever it was.

400
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 4: When she gave birth to him, she called him pain.

401
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 4: Now can you imagine growing up being called pain all

402
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:04,640
Speaker 4: your life? You're like, like, basically your name means pain.

403
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 4: They look at you, they go pain. They're like, you

404
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:09,639
Speaker 4: gotta go do your homework. Pain, Go do your homework.

405
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 2: You know.

406
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,679
Speaker 4: Can you imagine the cloud of living under that? But

407
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 4: I also can imagine that this kid probably had to fight.

408
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,160
Speaker 4: He probably had to learn how to fight. He probably

409
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 4: had to learn how to scrap. He probably had to

410
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,479
Speaker 4: overcome all of his insecurities and inferiorities like we all

411
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:23,439
Speaker 4: grew up with and being like, all what you're looking at?

412
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:24,879
Speaker 4: You know, we have to get rid of that stuff

413
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,119
Speaker 4: that local Hawaii people grow up with. What you're looking at,

414
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 4: what you're looking at my girlfriend, and you know, all

415
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 4: that kind of stuff. All of our insecurities get rid

416
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,199
Speaker 4: of that, and he had to grow up with that.

417
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 4: But there was a time that the Bible tells us

418
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:40,400
Speaker 4: that he both prayed a very bold prayer. But nonetheless

419
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 4: his name was James. James is a crazy name. I

420
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 4: can tell you that.

421
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:46,439
Speaker 2: Can I tell you that it's important what you raise.

422
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 4: Your name your kids. Okay, you're like, oh, I wish

423
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 4: I did that. I got like three already. We give

424
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 4: him cool names. I don't know. That's okay, that's good.

425
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 4: Stick with those names. Stick with those names. And I'm

426
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 4: not telling you to rename your kids. You know what

427
00:20:57,960 --> 00:20:58,359
Speaker 4: I'm saying.

428
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 2: I'm not saying I've seen crazy name.

429
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 4: I'm not. I'm not crazy name. I've seen pretty awesome

430
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 4: biblical names.

431
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:04,679
Speaker 2: I've seen them.

432
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 4: I've seen them awesome. I've seen I've seen parents name

433
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,719
Speaker 4: their kids Chicaina. Uh. And that's a good name. And

434
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 4: do the worry. There's no China in our church.

435
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 2: Just ain't just.

436
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 4: But that's a cool name. It means the glory of God.

437
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 4: That's the that's the cool name. I've seen names. Uh,

438
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:20,640
Speaker 4: never mind, this is not coming to me right now.

439
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 4: But I can tell you this that it was important

440
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 4: that when we had our daughters that we would pick

441
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:27,679
Speaker 4: a biblical name. Uh, it could have been a biblical concept.

442
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,159
Speaker 4: I've met I've met girls name precious. How awesome that

443
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 4: the mom would say, I'm gonna name you precious. Definitely

444
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,920
Speaker 4: different from jabiz pain. So when we had this little

445
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 4: girl sitting in the front row who just got married

446
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 4: to Elijah on Sunday, they're a little flash put a

447
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:46,400
Speaker 4: flash picture up there, all right, all right, take it down.

448
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,640
Speaker 4: Can I tell you that when we gave Lisa gave

449
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 4: birth to her, Lisa gave birth to her. Well, I

450
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 4: was there, you know, I'm saying I'm responsible, but we

451
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,080
Speaker 4: were there together. And while we were there, and we

452
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 4: were at the hospital Atkapiolani, and while we were there,

453
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:04,640
Speaker 4: it was taken forever. I'm like, oh yeah, I'm gonna

454
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 4: get something to eat from the cafeteria. Someone think we'll

455
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 4: get something to eat. I come back. I don't know

456
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 4: where she is. I'm gonna sit down right here. I'm

457
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 4: gonna watch Sports Center. And this relaxes twenty seven years ago.

458
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 4: I was a different guy, and I'm watching Sports Center

459
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:18,159
Speaker 4: and I fall asleep, and all of a sudden, the

460
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 4: nurse coming. Your wife's about to give birth and I

461
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 4: come in and I come in, Hey, how are we doing?

462
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 2: We good? Let's go.

463
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:29,920
Speaker 4: Listill looked at me like, and I remember that when

464
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 4: we gave birth to her, we'd already picked up a name.

465
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 2: The name that we picked was Rebecca. And the name

466
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 2: why did we picked Rebecca?

467
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:37,920
Speaker 4: Because when I was reading my Bible, I saw in

468
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 4: the Book of Genesis how Iliezer prayed for someone to

469
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 4: meet him, and her name was Rebecca. She came out,

470
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 4: she watered the camels, She was an answer to prayer.

471
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 4: She had the gift of hospitality. And if you know Becca,

472
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 4: she's like that. But she got my edge at the

473
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 4: same time. Anyway, moving right along, it's important what you

474
00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 4: name something. You know when the new year, the new

475
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 4: year is a baby, but the old year is the

476
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 4: father time. What are you gonna name your year? Your baby?

477
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 4: What are you naming your year? Remember a year ago

478
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:21,920
Speaker 4: the commander in chief of our country said this will

479
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 4: be a year of unprecedented death.

480
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 2: And they said, I rebuke that. In the name of Jesus.

481
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,120
Speaker 4: You don't get to name my year. You don't get

482
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,199
Speaker 4: to name by year. You can't name it. I'm not

483
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 4: gonna receive it.

484
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 2: And you have the.

485
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 4: Power this day to name your year. If you don't

486
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,160
Speaker 4: name it, it's gonna be default. It's are you already

487
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 4: gonna have a name? Layer, You're gonna go three months

488
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 4: at all. It's been a terrible year. Well you you

489
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:48,879
Speaker 4: just named your year. This year, you can be proactive

490
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 4: and name your year. So one of my staff members,

491
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 4: he said, my year is called tenacity. I said, awesome.

492
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:55,160
Speaker 4: For me and Lisa, it's called the year of abundance.

493
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,200
Speaker 4: For the church, it's called the year of revival because

494
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 4: I believe revival is coming to America into Hawaii. I'm

495
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 4: telling your revival is coming. It's gonna make that Jesus

496
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 4: people move and look like a warm up I'm saying,

497
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,160
Speaker 4: it's like a warm up act. Come on, I really

498
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,159
Speaker 4: believe God's gonna do something. What are you going to

499
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,640
Speaker 4: name your year? There's no better time than this week

500
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 4: to go and fast and pray. Said, honey, what are

501
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:14,360
Speaker 4: we gonna name the year? This is what I think

502
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:16,120
Speaker 4: God is saying. Whatever it is, it could be one

503
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 4: for you, it could be one for us as well.

504
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 4: Name your year.

505
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 2: Jabez flip the script.

506
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 4: Even though he was called pain the thing that I

507
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 4: love about Jabez, he says, oh, well, he was more

508
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,400
Speaker 4: honorable than his mother named him, saying I gave birth

509
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 4: to him and pain. But look in verse ten. Verse

510
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:34,160
Speaker 4: ten says Jabez cried out to the God of Israel,

511
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,639
Speaker 4: and oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory.

512
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 4: Let your hand be with me and keep me from harm,

513
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:42,400
Speaker 4: so that I will be free from pain.

514
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 2: And God granted his request.

515
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 4: Can I tell you that one of the most important

516
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 4: things you could do is you could declare scripture that

517
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:54,119
Speaker 4: you read and put it in your name. Flip the

518
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 4: script use that God wants you to use it. You know,

519
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 4: the Word of God is a sword. It's a sword,

520
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,200
Speaker 4: the sword of faith. It's called a sword of faith,

521
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:09,880
Speaker 4: sort of faith, sort of faith. Can I also tell

522
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,360
Speaker 4: you that if you got a little pocket bible, it's

523
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 4: called the dagger or the switchblade of faith. Butterfly but

524
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 4: a fly word. Can I tell you that you can

525
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 4: cut the devil with the word of God. Can I

526
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 4: tell you that you can pierce him God, he's trying

527
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 4: to destroy you.

528
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 2: That you can pierce him.

529
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:31,399
Speaker 4: And that's why it's so important that we declared the

530
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 4: word of God. Can I tell you that this is

531
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 4: one of those verses that you're gonna want on your mirror.

532
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 4: You're gonna write it down on some posted notepaper, you're

533
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:40,160
Speaker 4: gonna put it somewhere where you can see it every day,

534
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 4: and you're gonna add I'm gonna give you the form that.

535
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 4: It's not a formula, but I'm gonna give you four

536
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:46,160
Speaker 4: things when you find out of this passage that pray

537
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:49,160
Speaker 4: that for yourself every single day, and see what God

538
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:51,879
Speaker 4: does in Jesus name. Somebody say, Amen, Okay, here it

539
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 4: is you ready for the first one? Number one?

540
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 2: He says, Oh that you would bless me, Oh God,

541
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:57,679
Speaker 2: that you would bless me.

542
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:00,040
Speaker 4: This guy brought up in pain with a name he

543
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:03,400
Speaker 4: called Pain says, Oh God, would you bless me? Number one?

544
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 4: Pray for God's blessing. I love the song by Maverick

545
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 4: City Music. It's called bless Me. We need to sing

546
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 4: it in this church. I love it. I love the

547
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 4: word blessing. Sometimes we think it's only for food, or

548
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 4: Lord bless this food, or we think about missionaries, Oh

549
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 4: God bless the missionaries, or God, God bless you when

550
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 4: you sneeze. Blessing actually means the word prosper. The word prosper.

551
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 4: God wants you to prosper. God wants to bless you.

552
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 4: And I'm going to tell you why he wants to

553
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:29,879
Speaker 4: bless you, But before that, I need to tell you

554
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 4: that God wants to bless you. I don't know what

555
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:34,679
Speaker 4: background you came from. I don't know if he came

556
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:37,919
Speaker 4: from a religious background. They kind of over emphasized this area.

557
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 4: Who used the word a lot? Can I tell you

558
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 4: that though God uses that word? Can I tell you

559
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:44,120
Speaker 4: it's a God made up word? It's not We didn't

560
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:47,439
Speaker 4: make it up. God uses that word. God wants to

561
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 4: bless you. Look at Psalm five, verse twelve says, for surely,

562
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 4: oh Lord, you bless the righteous. You surround them with

563
00:26:55,160 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 4: your favor as with a shield. God wants to bless you.

564
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 4: He wants to prosper you. He wants you to receive that.

565
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 4: But I also want you to know that prosper means

566
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 4: that whatever you get on your own, God will push

567
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 4: it further. God wants to push further what He's already

568
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 4: given to you and what you've already done for yourself.

569
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:16,440
Speaker 2: God wants to prosper you.

570
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,879
Speaker 4: Look at Genesis chapter twenty six, verse twelve to thirteen

571
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:22,959
Speaker 4: with the word. It says, then Isaac abraham son sold

572
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:26,119
Speaker 4: in the land, what's this and reaped in the same

573
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 4: year one hundredfold.

574
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:31,160
Speaker 2: Look at that, one hundredfold in one year. That's crazy.

575
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:34,440
Speaker 2: One hundredfold blessing in one year. And the Lord blessed him.

576
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 4: And then the man began to prosper and continued prospering until.

577
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 2: He became very prosperous.

578
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 4: God uses the word three times in one verse to

579
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 4: get to us, across to us that he wants to

580
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 4: bless you, and he wants to prosper you. But a

581
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:54,919
Speaker 4: lot of these blessings, I have to tell you they

582
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:59,160
Speaker 4: are conditional. They are conditional. In other words, God's love

583
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,199
Speaker 4: for you is unconn additional, but his blessings are conditional.

584
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 4: There's a big if in front of it, a big if.

585
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:08,680
Speaker 4: If you are obedient, if you are set apart, if

586
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 4: you honor me with your first fruits. If there's a

587
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 4: lot of ifs, God will bless you. God wants to

588
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 4: bless you. Look at third John chapter one, verse two.

589
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 4: It says, beloved, I pray that you may prosper in

590
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:24,159
Speaker 4: all things and be in health, just as.

591
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:25,639
Speaker 2: Your soul prospers.

592
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:31,720
Speaker 4: So God wants you to prosper and be blessed three

593
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 4: hundred and sixty degrees, not just in your account, not

594
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 4: just with your crypto, not just with your retirement, but

595
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 4: with your soul three hundred and sixty degrees and your

596
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 4: health Genesis Chapter twelve, Verse three. Why the blessing, Because

597
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 4: all the families of the earth will be blessed through you.

598
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 4: God wants to get it to you so he can

599
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 4: get it through you. God wants to bless you. The

600
00:28:57,600 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 4: reason why God wants to bless you is not because

601
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 4: of you, though, because of me. I, like Mike, I'm

602
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 4: gonna bless him. I think God says that to a

603
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 4: lot of us. But I also believe God says I

604
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 4: want to bless him because I want him to bless

605
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 4: other people. I want to bless her because I want

606
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 4: her to bless other people. I want to and trust

607
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 4: him with good things. So because I want to see

608
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 4: what they do with the things that I give them,

609
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 4: I don't want to see them hoard it. I don't

610
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 4: want to see them just store it. Here's what I

611
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 4: want them to do. I want them to give it.

612
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 4: I want them to bless and in the part of

613
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 4: you blessing others. God blesses you. Can I get an amen?

614
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 4: He does? He does? Can I also tell you that

615
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 4: God wants you to be a conduit, a conduit of

616
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 4: God's blessing. He wants you to pass through you and

617
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 4: a conduit gets wet at the same time. Everybody say

618
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:40,719
Speaker 4: condu it. Say I can say, I can't do it.

619
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 4: I can't do it. You can't do it though you

620
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 4: are a conduit of God's blessing. I've been preaching, I've

621
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 4: been passing his church for twenty one years. Many every

622
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 4: year it works. I can tell you this, God wants it.

623
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 4: God wants to bless you number one. He wants to

624
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 4: bless you. Do you believe that? Do you believe it?

625
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 4: It's like eighty percent of the room believe it. The

626
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 4: other twenty percent of struggling with that. Yeah, I can't understand.

627
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 4: I know why you're struggling. You probably struggling because you

628
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 4: think you don't deserve it. Right, You're probably struggling because

629
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 4: you probably if God only knew what I did before, Right,

630
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 4: if God only knew that I'm really a nobody?

631
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 2: Right, Oh, check check check, you're right?

632
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 4: But can I tell you. You are more than a

633
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 4: conqueror through Christ Jesus. Can I tell you, greater is

634
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 4: he who is in you than he is in the world.

635
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 4: Can I tell you? Then, when God sees you, he

636
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 4: sees his righteousness, and God wants you to know that. Hey,

637
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 4: because Lisa and I used to have mad money fights

638
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 4: when we were married, I mean married in the beginning.

639
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 4: We're still married, of course, we are twenty nine years,

640
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 4: been the best twenty nine years of Lisa's life.

641
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.

642
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 4: And I can tell you this. We used to have

643
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 4: mad money fights in year one and year two, mad money.

644
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 4: Here's what happens. I had an ATM card and I

645
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 4: just didn't understand the value of I did. I understood

646
00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:00,080
Speaker 4: the value of hard work, our work, three jobs, and

647
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 4: then part of me felt like I deserve to treat myself.

648
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying. I deserved that. You gotta look,

649
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 4: you gotta wet my whistle every once in a while.

650
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 4: You don't even know what that means anyway, So you

651
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 4: guys like you guys have no idea what I just said.

652
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 4: I gotta reward me.

653
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 2: I gotta reward me every once in a while.

654
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying. I work in three jobs.

655
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 4: I need to reward some of you guys. You know

656
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 4: what's going on. I'm like, like, I thought you'd be

657
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 4: like in agreement. I feel like you're pulling back on me.

658
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 4: And so I was atm carding a little bit too much.

659
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 4: And finally this she's like, Mike, we don't like, what

660
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 4: are you doing? Like, I'm like, relax and then she

661
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 4: then she put me on this allowance.

662
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 2: I'm like, you put me on allowance.

663
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 4: I will submit myself to an allowance, but you don't

664
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 4: put me on allowance. Oh oh, I'm triggering some interests.

665
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,480
Speaker 4: I can see it. I love this and I'm gonna

666
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 4: help you guys out. She said, I'm gonna put you

667
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 4: on allowance. I said, I'm not going on allowance. She was,

668
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 4: we have to call it a allowance. My dad put

669
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 4: me on allowance. My mom put me an allowance. Let's

670
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 4: find a different word. That word ain't working for me

671
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 4: right now. Well, whatever it was, it was forty dollars

672
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 4: a week. Okay, I'm like, forty dollars a week, what

673
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 4: can you get with this? I told Pastor Ralph. He

674
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 4: was laughing. He couldn't stop laughing. He made a couple

675
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 4: of comments that it's gonna be okay, You're gonna do

676
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:21,719
Speaker 4: fine in the future.

677
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:22,719
Speaker 2: But here's the problem.

678
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 4: Though, I was overspending, and Lisa had a poverty mentality.

679
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 2: She did. I mean, she will tell you that it's

680
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 2: not I'm not throwing her under the bus.

681
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 5: BP.

682
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 2: I'm not throwing her under the bus, my wife.

683
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:42,719
Speaker 4: She's because, you know, I because she she came she

684
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 4: was an immigrant, She came here when she was two

685
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 4: years old. And so that hard work, that you'll never

686
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 4: have enough, you'll never have enough, You'll never have enough.

687
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 2: She grew up with that. She grew up with that.

688
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 4: And me, I had this mentality, I'm working so hard

689
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 4: I deserve it. And who used to fight a lot.

690
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 4: But then we got counseling. Yeah, and and God did

691
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 4: a work.

692
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 2: God did a work.

693
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 4: And then when we understand what the word blessing and

694
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 4: prosperity began to really truly mean, God wants to bless you.

695
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 2: Okay, I gotta move on.

696
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 4: Here's his number two, number two, He says, and enlarge my,

697
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 4: oh God, that you would bless me number two, and

698
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 4: you would enlarge my territory the worship team can come up.

699
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 4: And God wants to enlarge your territory. In other words,

700
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 4: I want to give you another word. God wants to

701
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 4: increase your influence, influence.

702
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 2: A lot of you have influence.

703
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 4: In fact, we're all influential in some way, shape or form.

704
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 4: You have influence at your workplace. You have influence at

705
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 4: your base, you have influence at the shipyard. You have

706
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 4: influence in the classroom. You have influence in the marketplace,

707
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 4: in your business. You have influence with your teammates and

708
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 4: your classmates.

709
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:03,360
Speaker 2: You have influence.

710
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 4: But a lot of us don't realize the influence God

711
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 4: wants to give you. And he wants to increase your territory. Now,

712
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 4: when Jabez said that he was meaning land, he said, well,

713
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 4: I need land increase my territory. But for us, even

714
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:22,240
Speaker 4: though I'm praying for you for land and for buildings,

715
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:24,720
Speaker 4: I'm praying for you for first time homes. I'm praying

716
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 4: for you from Milli Lani Malca, for Opely, for you know,

717
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:30,759
Speaker 4: for Kamakana of the e.

718
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 2: I'm praying for you for what is the one up

719
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:36,760
Speaker 2: here in Ypeople, what do you call it? Core Ridge

720
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 2: coll Ridge. I'm praying for you.

721
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:41,239
Speaker 4: I'm praying for you that God would do something in

722
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:44,239
Speaker 4: your life in twenty twenty three, even though your even

723
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:45,840
Speaker 4: though your parents might have not been able to do it,

724
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 4: God says that you can do it too.

725
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:49,479
Speaker 2: They don't have to get it first.

726
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 4: You can get it first and show them the way.

727
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 4: And I'm really believing for us for that for you.

728
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:56,839
Speaker 4: So here it is, Oh, would you increase my territory.

729
00:34:57,120 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 4: Territory is more than land. Territory is influenced, and I

730
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:02,920
Speaker 4: pray that God increases your influence.

731
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 2: I want you to pray.

732
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 4: Oh Lord, would you bless me? And may I stay blessable?

733
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 4: Oh God, would you increase my territory and give me influence?

734
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 4: And then here's the third one. The third one, Oh Lord,

735
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:18,480
Speaker 4: would your hand be upon me? In other words, God,

736
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 4: would you please give to me your presence? I need

737
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:25,720
Speaker 4: your presence. Moses cried out for God for his presence.

738
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 4: He said, Lord, I won't go anywhere without your presence.

739
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:29,360
Speaker 4: I'm needing a million people.

740
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:30,880
Speaker 2: I'm not going on my own.

741
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:33,440
Speaker 4: I need you to go before us in a cloud,

742
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 4: pillar of fire by day, a pillar of fire by night,

743
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:38,360
Speaker 4: a pillar cloud by day. God, we need your presence,

744
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 4: for without your presence, we are nothing. God wants to

745
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:44,360
Speaker 4: increase his influence. God wants to put his hand upon you.

746
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:46,880
Speaker 4: He wants his presence with you, and God wants to

747
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 4: bless you. But then I also want you to know

748
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 4: that there is one more element that you have to

749
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 4: be aware of. And then he says, and then, would.

750
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:56,720
Speaker 2: You please keep me from harm? Why would he slide

751
00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 2: that last one in?

752
00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 4: God, bless me, bless me, you know, increase my inheritance,

753
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:02,360
Speaker 4: my territory.

754
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 2: Oh God, would you do that? But then ye, at

755
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:05,120
Speaker 2: the same time, would you please protect me?

756
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:08,719
Speaker 4: Here's why, because the more you get, the more the

757
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 4: Devil's gonna be m at you. And I want you

758
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 4: to know that you got nothing to worry about. Yeah,

759
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 4: the battle belongs to the Lord. Yeah, you got to

760
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 4: learn how to fight. You need to fight the spiritual war.

761
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:22,239
Speaker 4: You gotta realize you're in a spiritual war now, right

762
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 4: once you gave your life to Jesus. Welcome to the war.

763
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:25,960
Speaker 2: We didn't tell you that at the beginning.

764
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:27,120
Speaker 4: We need to tell you from now on.

765
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:31,279
Speaker 2: Welcome to the war. Welcome to the war.

766
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 4: You're in the Lord's army, yes, sir, Yeah, yeah, you

767
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 4: are in the Lord's army right now, and when you

768
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 4: give your life to Jesus, because there's been a war

769
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:40,799
Speaker 4: going on for you all this time. The devil's been

770
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 4: trying to hold you back. God's been trying to get

771
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:44,760
Speaker 4: you to church. The devil's been trying to do everything

772
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 4: for you, to self destruct, to take your life, to

773
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,279
Speaker 4: hurt somebody, to hurt yourself, to whatever it is, to

774
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:51,160
Speaker 4: self medicate, to whatever it is, to the place where

775
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 4: you don't need God, because you've been turning to these things.

776
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:55,319
Speaker 4: And God says, no, no, no, that's the devil. I'm

777
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 4: trying to get you. There's already been a war for you.

778
00:36:57,920 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 4: You are already in the war. You are all ready

779
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 4: He made for war. You don't realize that, but God will.

780
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 4: The devil was already trying to get a war for you.

781
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:07,879
Speaker 4: I can tell you right now that the Bible tells

782
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:10,759
Speaker 4: us that the Prince of Persia was withheld because they

783
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:13,720
Speaker 4: tried to get the body of Moses. And it was Michael,

784
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 4: the archangel that stood in the gap, and there was

785
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 4: a war in the heavilies, and that's why he showed

786
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 4: up to Daniel by the river says sorry, I was detained.

787
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 4: I was held back by the Prince of Persia because

788
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 4: there was a fight going on. And I want you

789
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:27,439
Speaker 4: to know get ready for the fight, because the fight

790
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:29,799
Speaker 4: already happened before you came to Jesus, and the fight

791
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:32,080
Speaker 4: is continued. Now you know you are in a fight

792
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:34,799
Speaker 4: more than ever before. Now you know that you're in

793
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:36,239
Speaker 4: the fight. I had a pastor, a friend of mine,

794
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:37,840
Speaker 4: and tell me. He goes like, can you believe it?

795
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 4: My people from my church are asking me to teach

796
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 4: on spiritual warfare. I looked at him, I go, you should.

797
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 4: You should keep him ignorant, let him know that the

798
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:47,919
Speaker 4: devil is real, but let him know God is greater.

799
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:50,480
Speaker 4: Come on, can I get an amen? I didn't get it.

800
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 4: I love him.

801
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:52,799
Speaker 2: I still love him.

802
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 4: One of my best friends. See one Peter five eight

803
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:57,680
Speaker 4: says the devil is like a roaring line seeking who

804
00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 4: he may de Wow. He wants to devour you.

805
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:02,120
Speaker 2: But he can't.

806
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:05,320
Speaker 4: He can't because why because Psalm three, verse one to

807
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 4: three says, Oh Lord, how many are my folds? David said,

808
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 4: how many rise up against me? Many are saying of me.

809
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 4: God will not deliver him, But you are a shield

810
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 4: about me. Oh Lord, you bestow glory on me, and

811
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:20,799
Speaker 4: you lift up my head.

812
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:23,880
Speaker 2: That's why James said, and please protect me.

813
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 4: You know why new levels bring new devils, And every

814
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:33,200
Speaker 4: time you go to the next level, you get you

815
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:36,840
Speaker 4: get another war. But do not let that stop you

816
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 4: from taking more territory, because I have friends who have

817
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:42,960
Speaker 4: told me, we're tired of the spiritual warfare. Mike. We're

818
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:44,759
Speaker 4: just we're just gonna stay right here. We're gonna stay

819
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 4: right here. We're gonna cruise.

820
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 2: We're gonna cruise.

821
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:48,400
Speaker 4: We're under the radar. You are not under the radar.

822
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:54,360
Speaker 2: You are under the influence. You are not under the radar.

823
00:38:55,680 --> 00:39:00,080
Speaker 4: You being you being subdued by the enemy.

824
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 2: Enemy.

825
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:02,040

829
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 4: I'd rather step out in faith in twenty twenty three

830
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:17,240
Speaker 4: for God. Prayer bolt prayer. Oh sorry about that, prayer

831

00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:29,759

842
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:06,479

Speaker 4: God, would you increase Would you increase territory and influence

846
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:20,279
Speaker 4: over your people? Father, I pray Lord for opportunities that

847
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:23,440

848
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:25,200
Speaker 4: audacious goals.

849
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:26,840

851
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 4: to paper and we are naming our year, that prophetically

852
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 4: we are speaking what we see in twenty twenty three,

853
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:38,720
Speaker 4: not what the world tells us about twenty twenty three. Father,

854

Speaker 4: I pray Lord, in the midst of a crazy world,

855
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:43,640

Speaker 4: some of you, this might be your first time. I

869
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:18,000
Speaker 4: want to do a different kind of prayer. And the

870
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:20,000
Speaker 4: prayer that I'm gonna pray is the most important prayer

871
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:21,919
Speaker 4: that is happening in the state of Hawaii right now,

872
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 4: possibly the most important prayer that is happening in America

873
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:25,719
Speaker 4: right now.

874
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:27,480
Speaker 2: And this is a prayer of salvation.

875
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:29,719
Speaker 4: No matter who you are, where you've been, what you've done,

876
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:31,600
Speaker 4: no matter what your past was like, no matter what

877
00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 4: your upbringing was like, no matter no matter how you

878
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:36,839
Speaker 4: were treated, no matter how you treated other people, no

879
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:39,320
Speaker 4: matter that right now, if you are willing to surrender

880
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:42,359
Speaker 4: your life to Jesus, to him save you from your sin,

881
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:45,279
Speaker 4: to wash you clean, as white as snow, to set

882
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:48,279
Speaker 4: you on a solid foundation, because your foundation has been

883
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 4: shaky lately. God wants to come into your life, change

884
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:53,640
Speaker 4: you from the inside out. But you have to surrender.

885
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:56,759
Speaker 4: And if you are ready to surrender today to the

886
00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:58,920
Speaker 4: King of Kings and the Lord of Lords, he's going

887
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,520
Speaker 4: to come into your life, wash you clean as if

888
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:04,160
Speaker 4: you never sin before, as white as snow. He's gonna

889
00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:06,480
Speaker 4: cleanse you with the blood of Jesus. He's gonna pour

890
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:08,879
Speaker 4: out his presence on your life. He's gonna do great

891
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 4: things in you and then in your family and in

892
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:13,920
Speaker 4: your life and everything that you do. Right now, If

893
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:16,640
Speaker 4: that's you, if you're ready to surrender, if you're ready

894
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:19,279
Speaker 4: to repent, if you're ready to head and you turn,

895
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:21,960

897

Speaker 4: this place. I don't want your inferiority. I don't want

898
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:29,600
Speaker 4: your insecurity to stop you from doing this. What I

899
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:32,480
Speaker 4: want you to do is just you and Jesus and

900
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:35,520
Speaker 4: nobody else in the spirit of God is touching your

901
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:38,040
