1
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:06,280
Speaker 1: Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the

2
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 1: children of God. Matthew five nine. Dear heavenly Father, you

3
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:17,240
Speaker 1: are the ultimate peacemaker. When we were your enemies, you

4
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: called us friends and children united under your redemptive work.

5
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 1: Your aim is to bridge gaps between you and us,

6
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: us and each other, and within ourselves. As your children.

7
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: I pray we would all emulate your character by being peacemakers.

8
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 1: As we are transformed by your grace and love. May

9
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 1: we continually extend the same to others in Jesus's name. Amen,

10
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,480

13
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,119
Speaker 2: What if Joseph hadn't warned Pharaoh to prepare for seven

14
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 2: years of famine? The Book of Genesis tells us that

15
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 2: Egypt and Joseph's own family survived because Joseph knew how

16
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 2: to prepare for emergencies. Hi, I'm Matt Potter, co founder

18
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 2: as it was in Joseph's time. That's why I urge

Speaker 3: Our goal for today's meditative prayer is healing relationships. Take

35
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 3: a moment to relax. Find a comfortable and quiet setting,

36
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,839
Speaker 3: a place where you can focus and can be completely

37
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 3: In this moment of self reflection, close your eyes, take

38
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 3: a deep breath and exhale. Release the thoughts that are

39
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 3: floating around in your mind. We will be meditating on

40
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 3: Matthew five nine from the King James version, which says

41
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 3: again us that are the peacemakers, for they shall be

42
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 3: called the children of God. Now take a moment to

43
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 3: pour out your adoration to God for his daily blessings

44
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 3: of peace. God, I praise you for your peace which

45
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 3: surpasses all understanding, Your peace that overcomes all circumstances, all

46
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 3: fears and doubts. Bring your peace to my heart, God,

47
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 3: call my spirit. God. I worship you for giving me

48
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 3: the ability to be a peacemaker. I praise you for

49
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 3: calling me your child. I know that you love me

50
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 3: and that you have already provided a resolution to all

51
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 3: the conflict in my life. People can be unkind. Others

52
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 3: may say and do things that will upset you, things

53
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 3: that will hurt your heart, break your trust. Some will

54
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 3: even go out of their way to harm you, create discord.

55
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 3: There will be people in your life who will steal

56
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 3: your joy and peace, who will make being a peacemaker

57
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 3: seem impossible. And even though at times it may be

58
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:20,799
Speaker 3: or seem difficult and daunting, it can still be done.

59
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 3: You must remember the calling to live in peace and

60
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 3: God's blessing that comes with it. Let us, now, for

61
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 3: a moment, reflect on those relationships that need tending. To

62
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 3: think of those connections, those relationships that have been broken,

63
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 3: maybe espouse a child, friend, parent, coworker, those relationships that

64
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 3: are suffering, the situations that seem impossible. Confess to the

65
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 3: Lord all your hurt, your anger, and your pain. Let

66
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 3: God into the areas of your heart where his peace

67
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 3: does not yet rain. Take a moment now to dwell

68
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 3: on previous blessings of peace that you've enjoyed. Blessings from

69
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 3: past relationships that were broken but God helped you fix them.

70
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 3: Think of the delight brought as a result of peace.

71
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 3: Recollect on past situations where you reached out to turn

72
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 3: anger into an agreement. Thank God for past resolutions and

73
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 3: the fruits of growth and joy from those relationships. Give

74
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 3: thanks for the moments free from the fear and hostility.

75
00:05:55,920 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 3: Thank God for the blessings of past full reconciled relationships,

76
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,479
Speaker 3: and for those yet to come. Thank Him for the

77
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 3: courage and the boldness to stand up for peace. And

78
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 3: do not forget. God is present. He is listening to

79
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 3: you once again, bringing to mind those connections, those relationships

80
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 3: that you're struggling with. Ask God for the ability to

81
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 3: resolve those conflicts. God bring peace and reconciliation to those relationships,

82
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 3: mendel bridges and build new ones. Pray for peace in

83
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 3: all your interactions. Peace with your family and your friendships,

84
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 3: Peace with your superiors at work, your colleagues. Peace in

85
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 3: every area, every aspect, in every relationship in your life.

86
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 3: Remember again God has called you to be a peacemaker.

87
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,039
Speaker 3: You are to strive to bring peace where there is

88
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 3: discord and disagreement, to work towards living amicably and immunity

89
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 3: with everyone. The Bible says, as much as in you

90
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 3: as be at peace with all men, peace can be achieved.

91
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 3: Though obedience to God's word and a desire to bring

92
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 3: harmony to all relationships. You can become a peacemaker and

93
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 3: be called a child of God. Thank you for completing
