5
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:27,420
With some questions and answers and discussion thoughts at the end today. We're gonna talk about fishing for people

6
00:00:27,420 --> 00:00:30,420
Let me start with Luke 2

7
00:00:31,060 --> 00:00:33,060
41 to 49 new King James

8
00:00:34,500 --> 00:00:40,940
Jesus parents went to Jerusalem every year at the Feast of the Passover and when he was 12 years old

9
00:00:40,940 --> 00:00:43,980
They went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast

10
00:00:44,620 --> 00:00:52,340
When they'd finished the days as they returned the boy Jesus lingered behind in Jerusalem and Joseph and his mother

11
00:00:52,340 --> 00:00:56,900
Did not know it but supposing him to have been in the company

12
00:00:56,900 --> 00:01:01,220
They went a day's journey and sought him among their relatives and acquaintances

13
00:01:01,620 --> 00:01:05,700
So when they did not find him they returned to Jerusalem seeking him

14
00:01:06,300 --> 00:01:08,660
Now so it was that after three days

15
00:01:08,900 --> 00:01:15,940
They found him in the temple sitting in the midst of the teachers both listening to them and asking them questions and

16
00:01:16,380 --> 00:01:21,340
All who heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers

17
00:01:21,340 --> 00:01:25,300
So when they saw him they were amazed and his mother said to him son

18
00:01:25,660 --> 00:01:29,160
Why have you done this to us? Look your father and I have sought you

19
00:01:29,900 --> 00:01:38,260
Anxiously and he said to them. Why did you seek me? Did you not know that I must be about my father's business?

20
00:01:39,980 --> 00:01:42,300
Mark 1 17 nlt

21
00:01:42,300 --> 00:01:50,940
I said to him, come follow me and I'll show you how to fish for people

22
00:01:51,580 --> 00:01:54,300
Is there somebody in your life you want to lead to Christ?

23
00:01:55,340 --> 00:01:58,780
Is there someone who's hurting lost or lonely?

24
00:01:59,500 --> 00:02:05,180
Have you exhausted all your options in the past accidentally burning your bridge to them or saying something that

25
00:02:05,980 --> 00:02:07,980
Makes you think there's no hope for you to reach them

26
00:02:07,980 --> 00:02:11,420
Are you about your father's business kingdom business?

27
00:02:12,380 --> 00:02:17,260
Isn't it time you began to focus on his kingdom more than your own?

28
00:02:18,700 --> 00:02:22,700
Everybody I know has someone they love who's walking away from God

29
00:02:23,980 --> 00:02:25,980
Don't give up

30
00:02:26,860 --> 00:02:28,860
Keep praying

31
00:02:29,260 --> 00:02:30,460
But add action

32
00:02:30,460 --> 00:02:33,740
You know, there's over 70 spiritual weapons in scripture

33
00:02:33,740 --> 00:02:39,260
One of my new books is called 12 spiritual weapons that talks about just 12. Most people think we only have a couple

34
00:02:39,660 --> 00:02:41,660
But we have over 70

35
00:02:41,980 --> 00:02:45,980
Keep adding weapons until what you're praying for begins to happen

36
00:02:46,860 --> 00:02:51,900
Pray that this person will be deaf to the voice of the enemy

37
00:02:52,460 --> 00:02:55,660
And only be able to hear the voice of truth

38
00:02:56,540 --> 00:02:59,740
Gag the enemy speaking into their heart their mind

39
00:02:59,740 --> 00:03:04,300
And consider virtual staking if you can't do an actual staking actual staking of their home

40
00:03:04,620 --> 00:03:09,420
Virtual staking just means you take a picture or a picture of their home and put it in a bottom of a box

41
00:03:09,820 --> 00:03:11,820
And stake the corners of the box

42
00:03:12,540 --> 00:03:19,660
It's a way to stake a place you can't go to or stake a place or home that's not open to letting you stake it in real life

43
00:03:19,980 --> 00:03:26,620
Virtual stake them and put extra bible verses and and prayers for them and sticky notes around that box until

44
00:03:26,620 --> 00:03:29,100
You see the breakthrough you're looking for

45
00:03:29,980 --> 00:03:31,980
Lord right now. I'm thinking about

46
00:03:32,620 --> 00:03:34,620
Like you fill in the blank name

47
00:03:35,180 --> 00:03:38,380
You know what they need and you know what will work on their heart

48
00:03:39,100 --> 00:03:42,380
I've tried to make a difference, but I might not be the right person to reach them

49
00:03:42,620 --> 00:03:47,100
Please put the right person in their life that will speak the right words at the right moment

50
00:03:47,900 --> 00:03:51,020
Touch their heart lord and show them your love for them

51
00:03:51,980 --> 00:03:53,980
Rebuild anything I've accidentally done

52
00:03:53,980 --> 00:03:57,420
Help me to know when to speak up and when to shut up

53
00:03:58,220 --> 00:04:04,220
Repair any holes I've put in our relationship save them before it's too late in Jesus name

54
00:04:05,340 --> 00:04:12,300
So in light of today's thoughts, let me suggest part of your personal battle plan might be to consider the following six

55
00:04:12,940 --> 00:04:16,940
Discussion thoughts number one make a list of people you and maybe only you

56
00:04:17,900 --> 00:04:19,900
Can reach for the kingdom of God

57
00:04:19,900 --> 00:04:25,660
Number two pray to bind and gag all invisible enemies who are assigned to that person in the unseen realm

58
00:04:26,220 --> 00:04:31,340
Number three pray for them to be deaf to the voice of the enemy and only open to the voice of truth

59
00:04:32,380 --> 00:04:38,380
Number four consider virtually or actually staking their home or property or apartment or workplace

60
00:04:39,420 --> 00:04:43,100
Number five write the most pressing issue on the stakes

61
00:04:43,900 --> 00:04:46,540
Maybe it's fear. Maybe it's drugs. Maybe it's the devil

62
00:04:46,540 --> 00:04:54,220
Stakes, maybe it's fear. Maybe it's drugs. Maybe it's an addiction of some type. Maybe it's sexual immorality write that on the stakes

63
00:04:55,100 --> 00:04:58,300
Add other verses if God gives you one

64
00:04:59,020 --> 00:05:01,660
and number six watch what God does

65
00:05:03,180 --> 00:05:06,540
And when it's over praise him for what you see happen

66
00:05:06,540 --> 00:05:16,380
And let me remind you to keep praying because prayer works. God loves you and I love you. Have a great day
