Speaker 1: I'm Bishop T. D. Jakes inviting you to unwine your

2
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:15,040

Speaker 1: give myself to prayer. You will help me, O Lord,

4
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: my God, Psalm one O nine, verse four. Dear God,

5
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 1: at this moment I come to you, seeking your divine

6
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 1: presence and peace, even when things are not going well.

7
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:42,160

00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: strength to let go of my worries and fears and

10
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: trust in your ever present love. Grant me peaceful sleep tonight,

Speaker 1: gets tough and the winds of life billow against the

Speaker 3: you to take one day, one trouble at a time.

Speaker 3: nine from the King James's version says, hold not thy peace,

75
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 3: o God of my praise, for the mouth of the

76
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 3: wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me.

77
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 3: They have spoken against me with a lying tongue They

78
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 3: compassed me about also with words of hatred, and fought

79
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 3: against me without a cause for my love. They are

80
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 3: my adversaries. But I give myself unto prayer, and they

81
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 3: have rewarded me evil for good and hatred for my love.

82
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 3: Set thou a wicked man over him, and let Satan

83
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 3: stand at his right hand when he shall be judged.

84
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 3: Let him be condemned, and let his prayer become sin.

85
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 3: Let his days be few, and let another take his office.

86
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 3: Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.

87
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 3: Let his children be continually vagabonds and beg Let them

88
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 3: seek their bread also out of their desolate places. Let

89
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 3: the extortioner catch all that he hath, and let the

90
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 3: stranger spoil his labor. Let their be none to extend

91
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 3: mercy unto him, neither, let there be any to favor

92
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 3: his fatherless children. Let his posterity be cut off, and

93
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 3: in the generation following, let their name be blotted out.

94
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 3: Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the Lord,

95
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 3: and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.

96
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 3: Let them be before the Lord continually, that he may

97
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 3: cut off the memory of them from the earth, Because

98
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 3: that he remembered not to show mercy, but persecuted the

99
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 3: poor and needy man, that he might even slay broken

100
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 3: in heart, as he loved cursing. So let it come

101
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 3: unto him, as he delighted, not in blessing. So let

102
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 3: it be far from him, as he clothed himself with cursing,

103
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 3: like as with his garment. So let it come into

104
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 3: his bowels, like water, and like oil into his bones.

105
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 3: Let it be unto him as the garment which cover him,

106
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 3: and for a girdle, wherewith he is girded continually. Let

107
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 3: this be the reward of mine adversaries from the Lord,

108
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 3: and of them that speak evil against my soul. But

109
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 3: do thou for me, o, Lord the God, for thy

110
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 3: name's sake, because thy mercy is good, Deliver thou me.

111
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 3: For I am poor and needy, and my heart is

112
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 3: wounded within me. I am gone like the shadow when

113
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 3: it declineth. I am tossed up and down as the locust.

114
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 3: My knees are weak through fasting, and my flesh faileth

115
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 3: of fatness. I became also a reproach unto them. When

116
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:46,079
Speaker 3: they looked upon me, they shaked their heads. Help me, O, Lord,

117
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 3: my God, O save me according to thy mercy, that

118
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 3: they may know that this is thy hand, that Thou

119
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 3: Lord hast done it. Let them curse, but bless thou

120
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 3: when they arise. Let them be ashamed, but let thy

121
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 3: servant rejoice. Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and

122
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 3: let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with

123
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 3: a mantle. I will greatly praise the Lord with my mouth. Yea,

124
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 3: I will praise him among the multitude, for he shall

125
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,839
Speaker 3: stand at the right hand of the poor, to save

126
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:24,199
Speaker 3: him from those that condemn his soul. When you are

127
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 3: alone and isolated, you can rest assured that the Lord

128
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 3: is with you. He fully knows you and fully loves you.

129
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 3: Know when he looks at you, he sees his chosen one,

130
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 3: who has been set apart to serve him and take

131
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 3: part in his inheritance. In his goodness, he will help

132
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 3: you and deliver you. In his love, he will comfort

133
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:52,959
Speaker 3: you and sustain you through the night. Take a deep breath,

134
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 3: lift your spirit and praise the Lord. Exhale slowly and

135
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 3: all allow his praise to fill you with joy, warming

136
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 3: your heart, renewing your mind. Take another deep breath, allow

137
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 3: your belly to fully expand exhale slowly, and let go

138
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 3: of any criticisms or negative words that others have spoken

139
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 3: over you. Rejoice in the sovereign Lord who sees you,

140
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 3: loves you, and sustains you. Breathe in and out slowly.

141
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 3: Bask in the presence of the Lord. Know he is

142
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 3: sitting at your right hand, saving you from those who

143
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 3: condemn you, from the shame that you carry with you.

144
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 3: Know in the Lord's presence there is no shame. Allow

145
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 3: his grace and love to heal your brokenness and to

146
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 3: bring light into the darkness of the night. Think of

147
00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 3: a time when someone slandered you or committed some wrong

148
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:06,679
Speaker 3: against you, and you retaliated or struggled with forgiveness. Confess

149
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 3: any anger or bitterness you have in your heart. Confess

150
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 3: any slander and gossip that may have been on your tongue.

151
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 3: Ask for God's forgiveness. Ask for God's strength to help

152
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 3: you forgive others and help you trust Him to administer

153
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 3: his justice and mercy. Breathe in his love and grace.

154
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 3: Breathe out your guilt and shame. Be comforted by the

155
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 3: sovereignty of the Lord, knowing he will right all the

156
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:45,280
