Prayer for a Nation Kingdom Connections with Apostle Michael Fram Part 1

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,240
You pray it and he can answer it.

2
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:06,040
The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man

3
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:07,680
avails much.

4
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:11,040
God will put the prayer in your heart to pray

5
00:00:11,040 --> 00:00:12,320
so that he can answer it.

6
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:14,080
Goes into the hearts of the people,

7
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:17,100
doesn't return void, it produces results.

8
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:21,080
Well, good evening, everybody.

9
00:00:21,080 --> 00:00:26,080
Welcome to another edition of Kingdom Connections.

10
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,140
I am your host, Apostle Michael Fram,

11
00:00:29,140 --> 00:00:32,520
with Prophetic Destiny Ministries International

12
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:34,440
in Sayerville, New Jersey.

13
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:38,380
Normally we start at eight o'clock Eastern

14
00:00:38,380 --> 00:00:40,780
and five o'clock Pacific.

15
00:00:40,780 --> 00:00:42,920
But unfortunately we had a little bit

16
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,760
of technical difficulty today.

17
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:49,040
It seems that Restream, which is the platform

18
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:53,720
that we are using, had changed their software a little bit

19
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,320
and Prophet Margie had a little bit of trouble

20
00:00:56,320 --> 00:01:01,120
getting in to the Restream backstage area

21
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,200
so that we could do the broadcast tonight.

22
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,880
And apparently we've been having some issues

23
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:10,900
throughout the week as everybody adapts to the changes

24
00:01:10,900 --> 00:01:14,260
in the login via Restream.

25
00:01:14,260 --> 00:01:16,980
So we'll get it all worked out here,

26
00:01:16,980 --> 00:01:20,080
but better to start a few minutes late

27
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,440
than to not do this broadcast.

28
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:27,000
And I am so happy and excited to have my dear sister

29
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:28,320
with me tonight.

30
00:01:28,320 --> 00:01:33,320
I am sure that to most of you that are part of Love & Unity

31
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,800
or are part of Kingdom First TV

32
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:38,840
and you watch Kingdom First,

33
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:43,840
Prophet Margie has her own program that is on Kingdom First.

34
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:49,240
And normally she is on, I believe it's on Tuesday nights,

35
00:01:49,260 --> 00:01:51,800
she has her program on.

36
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:56,800
And she's part of Love & Unity and she helps us a lot

37
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,680
with things regionally and some of the convergences.

38
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,400
And we've been friends for a long time.

39
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,760
And we've been doing broadcasts now

40
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,800
for I don't even know how many years.

41
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,800
Even before I got involved with Love & Unity

42
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,320
and before I got involved with Kingdom First TV,

43
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,440
Prophet Margie has done broadcasts with me.

44
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,440
We have ministered together.

45
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,360
I've been to her meetings and supported her.

46
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,480
She's been to my meetings and supported me.

47
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,920
And so it's a privilege and an honor for me

48
00:02:30,920 --> 00:02:33,720
to have her with me again tonight.

49
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:35,720
And tonight we're going to be talking

50
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,120
about prayer for a nation.

51
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,320
Those of you that know Prophet Margie,

52
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:46,320
she does have a mandate to teach the body of Christ

53
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,160
how to pray.

54
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:52,280
And she excels in that subject.

55
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,640
She's anointed in that subject.

56
00:02:55,640 --> 00:02:58,600
And she's a blessing to the body of Christ.

57
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,040
And she's a blessing to me.

58
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:04,840
So Sis, I don't know that you really need

59
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:06,560
to introduce yourself.

60
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,840
I think you can just say whatever you wanna say

61
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,160
and jump off and go where you wanna go.

62
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,400
Hello everybody, it's good to be here.

63
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:18,000
Yes, we had a little bit of a challenge getting on tonight.

64
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,240
I don't think that's an accident.

65
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:25,240
I think that we live in a world that the enemy is trying

66
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:30,480
to keep the believers from exercising their authority

67
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,440
and speaking the word of God and teaching people

68
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,600
how to even use their authority.

69
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,480
But thank you, Michael, for having me tonight

70
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,720
or today, wherever you're listening from.

71
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:45,960
When Apostle Michael asked me about being on

72
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,000
for this particular session,

73
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,440
I said, well, let's just pray about it, right, Michael?

74
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:52,760
Like we always do.

75
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:57,360
And I woke up about two weeks ago,

76
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,680
approximately maybe 10 days.

77
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:01,840
And upon awakening, I heard in my heart,

78
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,560
prayer for a nation, prayer for the nation.

79
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,160
And this is before the election.

80
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,320
This is before we knew the results of the election.

81
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,720
And to be quite honest, it doesn't really matter

82
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:15,240
because we're gonna get into this

83
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,720
no matter who's president, vice president,

84
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,480
no matter who's in authority,

85
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,960
we still have to pray for our nation.

86
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,160
We still have to pray for all those that are in authority.

87
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,760
But I really felt like God was directing us,

88
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:29,280
Apostle Michael and I,

89
00:04:29,280 --> 00:04:34,280
to do this particular subject, prayer for the nation.

90
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,680
So that's where we're heading to tonight.

91
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:41,680
So I thank you for having me and I appreciate it, Michael.

92
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:43,560
Oh, you're quite welcome, my dear.

93
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,000
You just go ahead and take your liberty.

94
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,480
You know, mi casa su casa, you're my sister.

95
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:50,760
You can do whatever you want.

96
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:51,760
You can do no wrong.

97
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,560
So wherever you wanna go is fine with me.

98
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:55,520
Well, I appreciate it.

99
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,120
So I do have some notes here

100
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,640
from some of my KIU events that I've spoken on.

101
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,400
And basically I feel like

102
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,360
why is it time to pray for our nation?

103
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,520
Well, it's time to pray for our nation

104
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,000
because no matter who is in authority,

105
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:15,000
who has won this presidential election,

106
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,800
it's still time to pray for our nation.

107
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:20,080
Amen.

108
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,400
You know, we are living in perilous times.

109
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,800
We're living in a time and a season

110
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:29,040
where we know that Satan is the God of this present world,

111
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,080
the God of this age.

112
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,120
And he's gonna continue to fight us.

113
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,600
He's gonna continue to fight the purpose

114
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:38,680
and the plan of God for a nation,

115
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:40,720
our nation particularly.

116
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,560
And we have to continue to stand

117
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,200
and we have to continue to believe.

118
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,920
And as you know, Michael, you've heard me say this before,

119
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,560
that prayer opens up the door for God to work.

120
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:53,400
Amen.

121
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,120
We have not because we ask not.

122
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:56,840
If we don't pray,

123
00:05:56,840 --> 00:06:00,680
God can't do what he desires to do.

124
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,320
Prayer unties the hands of God.

125
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:04,280
And people will be like,

126
00:06:04,280 --> 00:06:07,520
well, what do you mean prayer unties the hands of God?

127
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,440
No, it's not quesada, quesada,

128
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,720
whatever will be, will be.

129
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:16,720
We men and women are God's avenue into the earth.

130
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:22,320
Jesus gave all of us power and authority here on this earth

131
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,880
to be his representatives.

132
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:29,080
So that's why we have got to pray, we've got to stand,

133
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:30,760
we have to collaborate with him,

134
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:32,600
we have to co-labor with him

135
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,680
and we've got to exercise our authority

136
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:35,960
because if we don't,

137
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:37,560
Satan who's the God of this world

138
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,040
is gonna continue to infiltrate.

139
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:45,040
So it's very important to understand that as believers,

140
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:49,560
that our prayers open up the door for God to work.

141
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,760
That's why we have to pray.

142
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:56,760
So basically, I mean, I have these notes in front of me,

143
00:06:56,840 --> 00:06:59,560
but I'm hearing a scripture in my spirit

144
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,620
and I'm gonna see if I can find it.

145
00:07:01,620 --> 00:07:06,620
It's the scripture that comes from,

146
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,280
it's Proverbs 29 two,

147
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,720
says when the righteous are in authority,

148
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,240
the people rejoice.

149
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:20,680
When a wicked man rules, the people groan.

150
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:22,880
So thank God, you know,

151
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,120
that when a righteous man is in authority,

152
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:26,760
people are happy.

153
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:31,760
But woe to the nation when a wicked man is in authority.

154
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,840
But either way, no matter what,

155
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:38,200
we can still pray and prayer opens up the door

156
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:39,480
for God to work.

157
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,080
As a matter of fact, the Bible says

158
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,920
that the heart of the King is in the hand of the Lord

159
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,880
and he turns it whatsoever way he wills.

160
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:51,940
So that when we pray, when we exercise our authority,

161
00:07:51,940 --> 00:07:54,980
God can work in the heart of the leader,

162
00:07:54,980 --> 00:07:56,640
in the heart of the person

163
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,440
and he can turn it whatsoever way he wills.

164
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,480
We don't have to be dismayed.

165
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,460
We don't have to be upset.

166
00:08:03,460 --> 00:08:06,920
We have to stand in faith and believe God

167
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:11,920
and understand that our faith can move mountains

168
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:17,000
and can change the heart of not only a man,

169
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,640
but the heart of a nation.

170
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:20,680
Amen.

171
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:24,360
You know, I know we're gonna get into some stuff,

172
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:28,560
but the scripture that came to me just as you were talking

173
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:32,280
because you said, doesn't matter who gets elected

174
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,240
or who wins the election,

175
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:39,200
we have the responsibility to pray for the nation.

176
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,720
And I'm thinking of the verse that kind of rose up

177
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:45,680
out of my spirit that Paul wrote to Timothy

178
00:08:45,680 --> 00:08:50,680
that first of all, prayer and giving of thanks

179
00:08:50,680 --> 00:08:55,580
will be made for all men, especially for kings

180
00:08:55,580 --> 00:08:58,300
and all those that are in authority.

181
00:08:58,300 --> 00:09:02,220
Now we don't live in a monarchy and we don't have kings,

182
00:09:02,220 --> 00:09:04,060
but we do have presidents.

183
00:09:04,060 --> 00:09:07,300
We do have prime ministers in many places.

184
00:09:07,300 --> 00:09:10,300
And so we pray for those leaders

185
00:09:10,300 --> 00:09:13,140
and all that are in authority.

186
00:09:13,140 --> 00:09:15,720
We have that responsibility.

187
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:19,860
And when we do, there is a promise attached

188
00:09:19,860 --> 00:09:21,780
to that instruction.

189
00:09:21,780 --> 00:09:25,460
And the promise attached to the instruction

190
00:09:25,460 --> 00:09:29,820
is that it may be well with us.

191
00:09:29,820 --> 00:09:32,680
And I think one of the reasons many times

192
00:09:32,680 --> 00:09:37,680
is that we don't see it being well with people in a nation

193
00:09:38,100 --> 00:09:41,140
is because the people in the nation

194
00:09:41,140 --> 00:09:45,500
are not fulfilling their part of the obligation.

195
00:09:45,500 --> 00:09:48,540
When God gives a conditional promise,

196
00:09:48,540 --> 00:09:51,900
do this and it will be well with you.

197
00:09:51,900 --> 00:09:55,580
Well, if we don't do this, we don't have a right

198
00:09:55,580 --> 00:09:59,100
to expect God to make it well with us.

199
00:09:59,100 --> 00:10:03,620
So I believe we must pray for all those

200
00:10:03,620 --> 00:10:05,940
that are in authority over us.

201
00:10:05,940 --> 00:10:08,920
The other verse that I was thinking of

202
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,220
is you were talking about when the righteous rule

203
00:10:12,220 --> 00:10:15,820
and righteousness exalts the nation.

204
00:10:15,820 --> 00:10:18,100
And we were praying for leaders.

205
00:10:18,100 --> 00:10:22,940
We prayed that God would raise up righteous leaders

206
00:10:22,940 --> 00:10:27,940
and righteous judges so that righteous judgment

207
00:10:28,100 --> 00:10:31,740
would be made manifest within the nation.

208
00:10:31,740 --> 00:10:34,020
And I don't know why all of a sudden

209
00:10:34,020 --> 00:10:36,940
I feel like my insides are on fire,

210
00:10:36,940 --> 00:10:40,660
but right now I feel like my insides are on fire.

211
00:10:40,660 --> 00:10:42,780
You know, based on what I've been through

212
00:10:42,780 --> 00:10:44,540
in the last several months,

213
00:10:44,540 --> 00:10:47,660
I feel like I'm coming back into myself

214
00:10:47,660 --> 00:10:51,940
and I'm becoming who I was pre what I was dealing with

215
00:10:51,940 --> 00:10:53,820
and it's on me right now.

216
00:10:53,820 --> 00:10:56,060
But we're supposed to run tonight.

217
00:10:56,060 --> 00:10:57,780
So go ahead and I'm gonna shut up.

218
00:10:57,780 --> 00:11:01,620
No, well, you said it, it's right here.

219
00:11:01,620 --> 00:11:05,380
Therefore I exhort, first of all, that supplications,

220
00:11:05,380 --> 00:11:10,380
first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions

221
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,700
and giving of thanks be made for all men,

222
00:11:14,700 --> 00:11:17,460
for kings and all that are in authority.

223
00:11:17,460 --> 00:11:19,060
Why, why?

224
00:11:19,060 --> 00:11:23,260
That we may lead a godly, a quiet and peaceable life

225
00:11:23,260 --> 00:11:25,940
in all godliness and reverence

226
00:11:25,940 --> 00:11:27,900
for this is good and acceptable

227
00:11:27,900 --> 00:11:29,900
in the sight of God our savior

228
00:11:29,900 --> 00:11:32,700
who desires that all men be saved

229
00:11:32,700 --> 00:11:34,780
and come to the knowledge of the truth.

230
00:11:34,780 --> 00:11:39,060
So in essence, first of all, what we need to do

231
00:11:39,060 --> 00:11:42,420
is we need to pray for those that are in authority

232
00:11:42,420 --> 00:11:43,820
before we do anything.

233
00:11:43,820 --> 00:11:47,420
Whether we agree with them and whether we do not.

234
00:11:47,420 --> 00:11:49,620
So let me just tell you a brief story.

235
00:11:49,620 --> 00:11:51,620
When I, I mean, I'm still traveling,

236
00:11:51,620 --> 00:11:54,140
but I've been in ministry 44 years.

237
00:11:54,140 --> 00:11:57,940
Back in the day, many of you who are my age,

238
00:11:57,940 --> 00:12:00,580
retirement age, which I'm not retiring,

239
00:12:00,580 --> 00:12:04,340
I'm continue to refire, you remember Ronald Reagan.

240
00:12:05,260 --> 00:12:09,300
And I don't know if many, any of you remember that curse

241
00:12:09,300 --> 00:12:13,020
that was upon that particular year of his presidency.

242
00:12:13,020 --> 00:12:16,980
It was the curse whereby that particular presidency,

243
00:12:16,980 --> 00:12:21,780
that president was going to be annihilated

244
00:12:21,780 --> 00:12:24,180
and to be, and would die in office.

245
00:12:24,180 --> 00:12:25,780
Well, we found out about that curse.

246
00:12:25,780 --> 00:12:27,220
It's coming up in my heart right now.

247
00:12:27,220 --> 00:12:30,340
So I can't Google it to tell you what exactly what it was.

248
00:12:30,340 --> 00:12:33,620
But I remember we heard about it.

249
00:12:33,620 --> 00:12:36,380
And everywhere I went, every speaking engagement I had

250
00:12:36,380 --> 00:12:39,780
before I ever spoke, before I ever did anything,

251
00:12:39,780 --> 00:12:42,060
we prayed for Ronald Reagan

252
00:12:42,060 --> 00:12:44,740
and we prayed divine protection over him.

253
00:12:44,740 --> 00:12:48,340
We prayed in Jesus name that no weapon formed against him

254
00:12:48,340 --> 00:12:49,260
will prosper.

255
00:12:49,260 --> 00:12:53,140
And I led congregations in prayer over and over and over.

256
00:12:53,140 --> 00:12:56,500
We prayed the word of God, we prayed Psalms 91,

257
00:12:56,500 --> 00:12:58,940
and we prayed in the Holy ghost.

258
00:12:58,940 --> 00:13:03,940
And several months after all this prayer that we did,

259
00:13:04,340 --> 00:13:06,820
you know, there was an attempt on his life.

260
00:13:08,140 --> 00:13:11,060
But you know the story with Ronald Reagan.

261
00:13:11,060 --> 00:13:15,420
He was not shot, he was not killed, his life was spared.

262
00:13:15,420 --> 00:13:19,500
And I believe our prayers opened up the door for God to work.

263
00:13:19,500 --> 00:13:21,220
And because of our prayers,

264
00:13:21,220 --> 00:13:23,860
we were able to surround him with peace.

265
00:13:23,860 --> 00:13:26,460
We were able to surround him with the angels of God.

266
00:13:26,460 --> 00:13:29,140
We prayed the Psalm of protection over him.

267
00:13:29,140 --> 00:13:33,140
And therefore it canceled that curse

268
00:13:33,140 --> 00:13:36,100
that was upon that presidency.

269
00:13:36,100 --> 00:13:39,300
And so I think that's what we need to do

270
00:13:39,300 --> 00:13:42,260
even coming into this next president.

271
00:13:42,260 --> 00:13:44,820
We need to pray prayers of protection.

272
00:13:44,820 --> 00:13:47,540
We need to pray prayers of guidance.

273
00:13:47,540 --> 00:13:50,140
We need to pray the word of God.

274
00:13:50,140 --> 00:13:52,340
We need to pray that the heart of the King

275
00:13:52,340 --> 00:13:55,460
who was the president, who is in the hand of the Lord

276
00:13:55,460 --> 00:13:59,500
would that would be divinely directed by God,

277
00:13:59,500 --> 00:14:02,820
that God would give our upcoming president wisdom,

278
00:14:02,820 --> 00:14:05,060
revelation, knowledge and insight,

279
00:14:05,060 --> 00:14:07,980
not only that, but even the current president.

280
00:14:07,980 --> 00:14:10,620
We need to pray for our current president.

281
00:14:10,620 --> 00:14:13,220
I've been praying for our current president

282
00:14:13,220 --> 00:14:16,540
that God protects him, that God gives him wisdom,

283
00:14:16,540 --> 00:14:19,220
that God strengthens him, that God helps him.

284
00:14:19,220 --> 00:14:21,660
It doesn't matter who's president.

285
00:14:21,660 --> 00:14:24,180
We need to pray first of all,

286
00:14:24,180 --> 00:14:25,900
for those that are in authority.

287
00:14:25,900 --> 00:14:26,740
Why?

288
00:14:26,740 --> 00:14:29,740
That we may lead a quiet and peaceable life

289
00:14:29,740 --> 00:14:31,820
in all godliness and honesty.

290
00:14:31,820 --> 00:14:33,580
And the rest of the scripture says,

291
00:14:33,580 --> 00:14:36,060
for this is good and acceptable

292
00:14:36,060 --> 00:14:38,140
on the side of God, our savior,

293
00:14:38,140 --> 00:14:39,540
who would that all men be saved

294
00:14:39,540 --> 00:14:41,140
and come to the knowledge of the truth?

295
00:14:41,140 --> 00:14:42,840
So that scripture is really, Michael,

296
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,100
the one that I really felt really impressed

297
00:14:45,100 --> 00:14:48,220
in my heart for tonight is first of all,

298
00:14:48,220 --> 00:14:51,740
and we pray so many times for all these other things,

299
00:14:51,740 --> 00:14:55,980
but really, really, we need to pray first of all

300
00:14:55,980 --> 00:14:57,340
for all those that are in authority.

301
00:14:57,340 --> 00:15:00,300
And not only just the leaders of our nation,

302
00:15:00,300 --> 00:15:03,420
but even those in ministry, ministry leaders.

303
00:15:03,420 --> 00:15:05,200
There's a lot of ministry leaders

304
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,500
who are really struggling and suffering

305
00:15:08,500 --> 00:15:11,140
and having hardship and hard times

306
00:15:11,140 --> 00:15:13,860
and really just doing their best to obey God.

307
00:15:13,860 --> 00:15:17,240
Let's not neglect the gift that God has given us.

308
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,100
And the gift that God's given us

309
00:15:19,100 --> 00:15:21,980
is not just the political leaders,

310
00:15:21,980 --> 00:15:24,780
but just the leadership in our churches,

311
00:15:24,780 --> 00:15:27,980
our pastors, our leaders, our apostles.

312
00:15:27,980 --> 00:15:32,220
They need our prayers.

313
00:15:32,220 --> 00:15:35,100
Like we said, prayer opens up the door for God to work.

314
00:15:35,100 --> 00:15:38,140
And let me just tell you, this is obviously a rabbit trail.

315
00:15:38,140 --> 00:15:41,040
Your leader is not gonna tell you if they're struggling.

316
00:15:42,060 --> 00:15:43,520
That's what they're done.

317
00:15:44,860 --> 00:15:48,340
Low to tell you that they're struggling

318
00:15:48,340 --> 00:15:50,260
or they have stuff going on.

319
00:15:50,260 --> 00:15:53,000
No, we as peers, we talk amongst one another,

320
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,360
but not all the time do we do that.

321
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,080
But they're not gonna tell you.

322
00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:00,200
But I'm gonna tell you, if you feel a love for your pastor,

323
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:04,580
a love for your leader, or you get a dream about him or her,

324
00:16:04,580 --> 00:16:06,380
you know what, that's the Holy Spirit saying,

325
00:16:06,380 --> 00:16:08,540
you need to pray for your leader.

326
00:16:08,540 --> 00:16:12,320
And let me just say this, don't pray your own opinion.

327
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,540
Don't pray your own will.

328
00:16:14,540 --> 00:16:18,480
Don't pray what you think your ministry leader should do.

329
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,780
You pray the word of God.

330
00:16:21,780 --> 00:16:24,380
The apostle Paul said multiple times,

331
00:16:24,380 --> 00:16:26,060
I actually have a little mini book on this,

332
00:16:26,060 --> 00:16:27,980
Prayer for the Ministry Gifts.

333
00:16:27,980 --> 00:16:31,700
The apostle Paul said multiple times, pray for us.

334
00:16:31,700 --> 00:16:32,540
Why?

335
00:16:32,540 --> 00:16:36,140
That the word of the Lord may have free course, right?

336
00:16:36,140 --> 00:16:38,300
This is not about us as leaders

337
00:16:38,300 --> 00:16:41,460
and that we may be delivered from unreasonable

338
00:16:41,460 --> 00:16:42,340
and wicked men.

339
00:16:42,340 --> 00:16:45,580
Pray that the word of God that is in us would flow forth

340
00:16:45,580 --> 00:16:48,380
and that it would minister grace to the hearers,

341
00:16:48,380 --> 00:16:50,980
that it would help people, that it would help you,

342
00:16:50,980 --> 00:16:52,880
that it would help our congregations.

343
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,780
But also pray that doors would be opened.

344
00:16:55,780 --> 00:16:56,620
For what?

345
00:16:56,620 --> 00:17:00,200
The apostle Paul said, so that we could preach the word.

346
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:04,020
So I think that ministry leaders are very selfless.

347
00:17:04,020 --> 00:17:05,580
They're not gonna tell you all the time

348
00:17:05,580 --> 00:17:06,780
when they need prayer.

349
00:17:06,780 --> 00:17:11,060
But I think we need to be sensitive to our ministry leaders

350
00:17:11,060 --> 00:17:13,000
and we need to stand in the gap.

351
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,180
We need to put up a hedge around them.

352
00:17:15,180 --> 00:17:16,960
We need to pray for them.

353
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:20,020
We need to pray that God would give them revelation.

354
00:17:20,940 --> 00:17:24,140
God would give them wisdom in their decision-making

355
00:17:24,140 --> 00:17:27,180
and that God would open up doors for them

356
00:17:27,180 --> 00:17:29,980
so that the word of God can be preached

357
00:17:29,980 --> 00:17:31,580
and have free course.

358
00:17:31,580 --> 00:17:33,020
I know this is a rabbit trail.

359
00:17:33,020 --> 00:17:35,020
I apologize, apostle Michael.

360
00:17:35,020 --> 00:17:38,220
But sometimes when I speak,

361
00:17:38,220 --> 00:17:41,300
I can feel the word of God going forth

362
00:17:41,300 --> 00:17:43,820
and it's going forth and the hearts of the people

363
00:17:43,820 --> 00:17:47,500
are open and receptive and there's wisdom,

364
00:17:47,500 --> 00:17:48,780
there's revelation.

365
00:17:48,780 --> 00:17:51,500
I'm saying things I never heard myself say before.

366
00:17:51,500 --> 00:17:54,780
I'm anointed Psalms 92, 10 with fresh oil.

367
00:17:54,780 --> 00:17:56,660
It's so amazing, so fun.

368
00:17:56,660 --> 00:17:59,500
And then there's times it's not like that.

369
00:17:59,500 --> 00:18:02,140
There's times I'm preaching and I'm speaking

370
00:18:02,140 --> 00:18:04,720
and it's like, get me out of here.

371
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,100
I wanna run away from here.

372
00:18:07,100 --> 00:18:08,380
I wanna quit.

373
00:18:08,380 --> 00:18:10,260
I don't wanna do ministry anymore.

374
00:18:10,260 --> 00:18:11,900
The word of God's going forth.

375
00:18:11,900 --> 00:18:13,780
It's hitting against the wall.

376
00:18:13,780 --> 00:18:15,620
It's hitting me in the face.

377
00:18:15,620 --> 00:18:17,700
And it's like you're like at a battle

378
00:18:17,700 --> 00:18:19,500
right when you're preaching and teaching.

379
00:18:19,500 --> 00:18:20,980
Now, those of you that are listening,

380
00:18:20,980 --> 00:18:23,660
you may not have never heard any of us say this before,

381
00:18:23,660 --> 00:18:25,240
but I'm telling you the truth.

382
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:29,300
It's not always easy being in leadership and ministry.

383
00:18:29,300 --> 00:18:31,360
But if the devil can get to the top,

384
00:18:31,360 --> 00:18:32,980
he can get to the people.

385
00:18:32,980 --> 00:18:35,060
That's why even when it comes to praying

386
00:18:35,060 --> 00:18:36,700
for our leaders and our nation,

387
00:18:36,700 --> 00:18:38,500
if the enemy can get to the top,

388
00:18:38,500 --> 00:18:39,920
he can get to the people.

389
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:43,300
That's why we need to surround all of our leaders

390
00:18:43,300 --> 00:18:46,100
with prayer, with the word of God,

391
00:18:46,100 --> 00:18:49,200
with praying in tongues, with our authority

392
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:53,500
and just believe God on their behalf and stand with them.

393
00:18:53,500 --> 00:18:55,500
Like Erin and her, right?

394
00:18:55,500 --> 00:18:56,620
With Moses.

395
00:18:56,620 --> 00:19:01,060
The Bible says as long as they held up the arms of Moses,

396
00:19:01,060 --> 00:19:03,480
the miracles kept flowing.

397
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:04,700
God kept moving.

398
00:19:04,700 --> 00:19:07,540
God kept doing what he wanted to do.

399
00:19:07,540 --> 00:19:10,640
But there were people that were standing with him,

400
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:15,060
standing in the gap, holding up his arms, helping him.

401
00:19:15,060 --> 00:19:18,260
And that's what we need to do with our political leaders.

402
00:19:18,260 --> 00:19:20,380
And while the Holy Ghost is bringing it up

403
00:19:20,380 --> 00:19:24,860
and our ministry leaders, because we need your prayers.

404
00:19:24,860 --> 00:19:28,360
Your president, the vice president, the Senate,

405
00:19:28,360 --> 00:19:30,740
all the people, the people that are in authority,

406
00:19:30,740 --> 00:19:33,300
your governor, we need your prayers.

407
00:19:33,300 --> 00:19:36,060
Oftentimes people, they complain, they complain,

408
00:19:36,060 --> 00:19:37,820
they don't like this, they don't like that.

409
00:19:37,820 --> 00:19:40,720
Well, stop complaining and start praying.

410
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:41,860
Amen.

411
00:19:41,860 --> 00:19:42,700
Amen.

412
00:19:43,740 --> 00:19:45,480
That's absolutely right.

413
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:50,480
It's time for to have an attitude of gratitude.

414
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,200
And be thankful.

415
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:57,200
And stop belly aching and complaining.

416
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:58,040
Yes.

417
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,320
We don't need belly anchors and complainers.

418
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,120
We need people that actually know how to pray

419
00:20:03,120 --> 00:20:04,960
and thank God.

420
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:08,200
And you're absolutely right.

421
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:13,200
A lot of times leaders don't say what they're going through.

422
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:14,040
They don't.

423
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:17,640
They don't, well, you know this and I know this.

424
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:20,440
And yeah, we can confide in each other.

425
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:24,080
And sometimes we may know when something's off

426
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:27,360
with somebody that we have relationship with.

427
00:20:27,360 --> 00:20:29,880
Now I'm gonna tell on myself.

428
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:30,720
Go ahead.

429
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:31,540
Okay?

430
00:20:31,540 --> 00:20:32,380
Yes.

431
00:20:32,380 --> 00:20:34,560
Margie is very dear to me.

432
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,440
And we've been friends for,

433
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,420
I don't even know how long at this point.

434
00:20:39,420 --> 00:20:40,820
It's over 10 years,

435
00:20:40,820 --> 00:20:43,440
somewhere between 10 and 15 years, probably.

436
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:44,840
Over 15.

437
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:45,680
Whatever.

438
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:46,880
It's been a day or two.

439
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:50,560
And for about a year,

440
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:55,560
every time she would call me or she would text me,

441
00:20:55,660 --> 00:20:58,840
she would say, Michael, are you okay?

442
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:01,060
I'm concerned about you.

443
00:21:01,060 --> 00:21:03,040
You're on my heart.

444
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:04,720
I'm praying for you.

445
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,060
Are you taking care of yourself?

446
00:21:08,060 --> 00:21:10,520
And I didn't think anything of it.

447
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:15,280
I was just going on about my normal crazy life,

448
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:18,620
acting like I was still 30 years old.

449
00:21:18,620 --> 00:21:20,600
I'm not 30 years old anymore.

450
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:22,760
I'm now 62.

451
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:26,440
And I was still acting like I was 30.

452
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,040
And my sister would say to me,

453
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:32,700
well, Michael, you're not as young as you used to be.

454
00:21:32,700 --> 00:21:34,680
You need to rest.

455
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,960
And so what did Michael say to Margie?

456
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:39,840
Michael said to Margie,

457
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:41,880
I'm too busy to rest.

458
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:45,920
I said, I'll rest when I'm dead.

459
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:47,180
That's what I said.

460
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:50,960
I was ignorant.

461
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:55,500
God was putting something on her heart for me,

462
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,360
trying to protect me,

463
00:21:59,360 --> 00:22:02,100
but I wasn't listening.

464
00:22:02,100 --> 00:22:07,100
I wasn't hearing what my sister was saying.

465
00:22:07,100 --> 00:22:10,120
The Lord was using the Holy Spirit

466
00:22:10,120 --> 00:22:15,120
to prompt her to pray for me and to protect me.

467
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:20,240
What happened to me was on Labor Day of this year,

468
00:22:20,420 --> 00:22:23,340
just a little over two months ago,

469
00:22:24,360 --> 00:22:28,440
I had a stroke and I ended up in the emergency room

470
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:30,760
when I took an ambulance ride

471
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:34,480
because the left side of my face drooped

472
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:39,120
and I began to slur my words and I couldn't walk straight.

473
00:22:39,120 --> 00:22:42,160
And I was walking like a drunken sailor,

474
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,440
walking into the fence in my backyard

475
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:47,640
as I was trying to do yard work.

476
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:53,040
And it didn't have to happen.

477
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:56,520
If I would have listened to the warning,

478
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,600
maybe Margie didn't know what it was.

479
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,040
Maybe she didn't know how to tell me.

480
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:05,640
So she kept asking me,

481
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:09,280
but I thought about it in retrospect.

482
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:11,440
I'm laying in the hospital

483
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:15,200
and the Lord was bringing back to my remembrance.

484
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:18,800
Don't you remember every time Margie called you

485
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:22,920
or every time Margie texted you, what did she say?

486
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,240
And I said, yes, Lord, I remember.

487
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,560
Yes, Lord, I remember.

488
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,760
See, the Holy Ghost was speaking to her.

489
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:34,280
Maybe she didn't recognize it in its entirety

490
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:38,440
or what it all meant, but she was being prompted.

491
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,840
I believe her prayer for me,

492
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:46,200
her prayer for me probably saved my life.

493
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:50,920
And here I am by the grace of God,

494
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,680
by the prayers of the saints,

495
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:58,680
by those that love me and support me post stroke.

496
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:02,560
And I went to my physical therapy yesterday

497
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,880
and I went to my speech therapy yesterday

498
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:10,880
and both the physical therapist and the speech therapist said,

499
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,400
you don't need us anymore.

500
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,000
You're back to yourself.

501
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:17,840
You're discharged.

502
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:19,760
You're done with therapy.

503
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:23,880
Go live your life, enjoy your life, enjoy your ministry

504
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,800
and go do what God's called you to do.

505
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:31,800
And so I am very grateful for the prayers of the saints

506
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,960
and the love of those that prayed for me.

507
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:39,080
And to only be in the hospital for 48 hours

508
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:44,000
after having a stroke and to be able to now reengage

509
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:49,000
and pick up and do my ministry assignments, I am grateful.

510
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:52,920
But I have learned I can't do what I did before

511
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:57,040
because I was foolish and I didn't listen.

512
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:02,480
Be careful when God puts people in your life

513
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:05,640
that love you and care about you

514
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:10,000
and they're trying to speak to you on behalf of God,

515
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:14,720
please listen to them, listen to them.

516
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:19,480
And so my dear sister, I just wanna publicly say thank you.

517
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:21,560
Thank you for loving me.

518
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:23,880
Thank you for praying for me.

519
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:26,200
And thank you for caring about me.

520
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,880
I didn't intend on saying that and telling on myself,

521
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:33,320
but this is the importance of we don't know

522
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:36,000
what other leaders are going through.

523
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:40,760
And I can say this because I'm involved in love and unity

524
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:44,840
and I am on the senior council of love and unity.

525
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,840
Our senior council of love and unity,

526
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:52,800
more than half of us have been attacked physically

527
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,920
where we've ended up either in the hospital

528
00:25:55,920 --> 00:26:00,200
or we've ended up needing surgery or having surgery.

529
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:05,200
It's happened to at least half of our senior council.

530
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,960
We don't know what leaders deal with,

531
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:12,680
but if you deal with stuff in your life,

532
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,600
they deal with it even more so.

533
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:20,040
So pray for your leaders, pray for all those.

534
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:23,200
You know, the Bible says it talks about those

535
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:27,120
that rule the house of God well,

536
00:26:27,120 --> 00:26:32,120
that those that do that, they're worthy of double honor.

537
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:35,320
So every pastor needs prayer.

538
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,800
Every evangelist needs prayer.

539
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,280
Every apostle needs prayer.

540
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,520
Every prophet needs prayer.

541
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:44,880
Every teacher needs prayer.

542
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:48,760
Every kingdom leader needs prayer.

543
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:53,480
And we do need to hold up their hands and support them

544
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:57,280
and pray God's protection over them.

545
00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:00,120
And this is very apropos tonight,

546
00:27:00,120 --> 00:27:03,840
not just for government leaders,

547
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:07,200
but also for kingdom leaders,

548
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:11,680
even the ones that maybe you don't like

549
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:13,680
or you don't agree with.

550
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,840
And I've learned one thing.

551
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:23,600
You can't not like somebody that you pray for.

552
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:29,640
If you pray for them, you're gonna end up loving them

553
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,680
and you will walk in love with them.

554
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:36,240
Even people that maybe you might disagree with

555
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:39,120
or maybe they rub you the wrong way.

556
00:27:39,120 --> 00:27:42,800
But if you yield to the Holy Ghost and pray for them,

557
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:46,480
you will find that you will begin to walk in love with them

558
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:49,520
even if they rubbed you the wrong way.

559
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:53,960
It's the best way that I know to walk in love with people

560
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:55,480
is to pray for people.

561
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:57,560
Go ahead, sis.

562
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:00,400
100%, because when you begin to pray for people,

563
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:02,480
even your enemies, you begin to see them

564
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:04,440
the way God sees them.

565
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:09,240
And oftentimes people, they're just doing the best they can

566
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:12,600
and they don't even see their blind spots.

567
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,120
But with respect to people,

568
00:28:15,120 --> 00:28:19,160
like for example, like with you and another friend of mine

569
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:23,240
who's another high level leader like yourself,

570
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:27,200
it's like I had a prayer assignment

571
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,360
and it's more like what I would say

572
00:28:29,360 --> 00:28:31,240
to those of you that are listening.

573
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:36,680
I know Margaret's on tonight and Emmeline, hello girls,

574
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:41,360
hello, these are two women who are outstanding leaders.

575
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:43,120
Cathy's on tonight.

576
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:47,280
But I had the concern of the Holy Spirit, I call it.

577
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:49,200
Not just Margie as a person,

578
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:52,280
but something on the inside of me was saying,

579
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:54,000
I'm concerned about him.

580
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,880
I'm concerned about this other leader that's in our region.

581
00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:00,200
It's a concern, it's a warning, it's a check,

582
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:01,520
it's a red light.

583
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:03,880
And it doesn't mean that there's something wrong

584
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:05,000
with the person.

585
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:08,400
It's more like love and concern

586
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,160
and make sure you're taking care of yourself.

587
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:14,400
There was a feeling of make sure you're taking,

588
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:15,240
see what I mean?

589
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:18,920
The interpretation was the concern of the Holy Spirit

590
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:22,120
like a mother would care for her children.

591
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:24,680
So I think sometimes many of you who are listening,

592
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:28,200
you get that kind of witness on the inside for somebody.

593
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:30,240
You have a concern, you have a love,

594
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:31,760
that's a prayer assignment.

595
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:33,320
Follow after that.

596
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:37,600
When you follow after love, you're following after God.

597
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:42,600
And like we said, prayer opens up the door for God to work.

598
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:45,360
I'm gonna go to my grave at 95

599
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,760
and I'm gonna be saying that prayer

600
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:50,240
opens up the door for God to work.

601
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,720
We have not because we ask not.

602
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:56,080
If we don't pray, God can't intervene

603
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:58,680
and God can't do what he wants to do.

604
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,560
