Prophetically Praying Parents - Session 4 (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 --> 00:00:17,120
doesn't return void, it produces results.

8
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:20,520
Well, before we get into the word,

9
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:22,960
I just wanna again remind everyone

10
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:24,920
that we have a new book out called

11
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:27,600
Contend Stewarding the Hearts and Destinies

12
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:29,240
of Our Children in Prayer.

13
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:30,720
This is a thorough handbook

14
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:32,520
on how to pray for your children.

15
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,840
There's about 65 promises in the back of the book

16
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,280
for you to use in prayer.

17
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:42,200
There's outlines, there's all kinds of stories.

18
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:43,840
There's about 65 end notes,

19
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:47,000
things also that will help you in your parenting.

20
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,680
But this is actually one of my favorite books.

21
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,680
And in the back it says, make no mistake about it,

22
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:54,800
there is war over the hearts and destinies

23
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,720
of the generations that are in the earth today.

24
00:00:57,720 --> 00:00:59,560
Be prepared and equipped to pray.

25
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,440
So I just wanna encourage you to get the book.

26
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:04,200
Amen, so good.

27
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,640
So I'm gonna go ahead and open in prayer.

28
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:12,120
So Heavenly Father, we just come before you in Jesus' name.

29
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:13,920
Father, I thank you that the Holy Spirit

30
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:15,880
lives on the inside of me.

31
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:19,280
Holy Spirit, you'll rise up big within me,

32
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:23,120
give illumination to my mind, understanding to my spirit,

33
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,440
unveil the word of God through me

34
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,240
onto the hearts of the people that are listening.

35
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,840
I pray that there'd be a spirit of wisdom and revelation.

36
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:36,080
And today I just yield myself to you in Jesus' name.

37
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:37,800
We're just gonna go ahead and jump in.

38
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,080
We talked last time we were together

39
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,240
about how does a parent pray.

40
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:46,120
We'll jump right in here from 1 Corinthians 14, 15.

41
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:52,200
1 Corinthians 14, 15 says, I will pray with the spirit,

42
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,760
I will pray with the understanding also.

43
00:01:55,760 --> 00:02:00,760
So the first way we can pray is with our understanding,

44
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,560
and that's what we highlighted last week.

45
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,800
And we said, with our understanding to take the need

46
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,440
to the promises of God's word

47
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:14,520
and agree with the word, not the problem.

48
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:15,600
Yes. Yes.

49
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,480
We talked about intercession,

50
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,880
that it requires persistency,

51
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,680
it requires a continual going before the throne room,

52
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,720
a grace, it's praying and not giving up,

53
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,400
Luke 18, one, not fainting,

54
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:29,680
you see visible results.

55
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:30,520
As a matter of fact,

56
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,440
when it comes to the prayer of intercession,

57
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,720
sometimes you'll see the answer

58
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,400
and the breakthrough in your spirit first

59
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,720
before you see it manifest in the natural.

60
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,080
Everything originates in the unseen realm.

61
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:44,960
Yes.

62
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,560
Everything originates in the spirit realm.

63
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,840
And this kind of praying goes into the spirit realm,

64
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,280
makes the crooked ways straight,

65
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,800
the rough places plain,

66
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,560
the mountains and the hills come down,

67
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,200
the valleys are filled up.

68
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,120
This kind of praying goes in the realm of the spirit.

69
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,680
It does what I call, we talk about it in the book,

70
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,560
it tills the ground to the hearts of the person

71
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,520
that you are praying, it tills the heart.

72
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,680
So it's different kinds of ground.

73
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:13,880
Okay, we all know that.

74
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:14,960
And those of you that are listening,

75
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,160
you've never heard that, it's taken from,

76
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:18,960
I don't remember the exact reference,

77
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,320
but Jesus talked about different kinds of ground.

78
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:26,000
Some is stony ground, some is ground with thorns.

79
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:27,520
The sower went out to sow.

80
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,880
Yeah, the sower went out to sow the word,

81
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:31,440
but there was different kinds of ground.

82
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:32,280
That's right.

83
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:33,560
And according to the ground,

84
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:36,760
was according to the kind of fruit.

85
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:38,840
So when you pray the prayer of intercession,

86
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,280
you're tilling the heart or you're tilling the ground

87
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,120
of your child or whoever you are praying for.

88
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,800
The generation that God is speaking to you about

89
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:48,480
that's in the earth today.

90
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:52,080
So we pray with our understanding,

91
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,800
we take their need to the promises in the word of God,

92
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,240
agree with the word and not the problem.

93
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,560
Find the promise that meets their need.

94
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:04,800
Agree with his word and present his word

95
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,960
before the throne room of grace.

96
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:11,080
Don't pray the problem over and over and over again.

97
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:12,360
We said that at intercession,

98
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,000
there's one who lays one hand on him, one hand on God,

99
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:16,920
we don't give up, we don't think,

100
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:18,760
we hold on to that person.

101
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:20,840
And we don't wanna pray the problem

102
00:04:20,840 --> 00:04:22,480
over and over and over again.

103
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:23,800
We want to pray the answer.

104
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,640
The answer is in the word of God.

105
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:26,760
Amen.

106
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,440
We don't wanna pray worry prayers.

107
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:30,280
Right.

108
00:04:30,280 --> 00:04:32,160
Worry prayers, you know, it's like James,

109
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,440
let not that man think he'll receive anything from God.

110
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,280
You don't pray worry prayers.

111
00:04:37,280 --> 00:04:39,560
You're just like a double-minded man,

112
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,360
unstable in all your ways,

113
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,400
and you're not gonna see results.

114
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:44,240
Right.

115
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:45,800
And the Bible says that the effectual,

116
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,440
fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.

117
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:53,160
But we've got to pray according to the will of God.

118
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:54,800
That's when we see results.

119
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:55,640
Yeah.

120
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:56,800
So when you pray worry prayers,

121
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:58,640
I'm so worried, I'm so worried, I'm so worried,

122
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:00,400
I'm so worried, I'm so worried, I'm so worried,

123
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:01,800
you're not gonna get any results.

124
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:03,600
You've got to pray the word of God.

125
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:04,440
Right.

126
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,400
Thank you, Father, that your word says,

127
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,640
all of my children will be taught of the Lord.

128
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:09,480
Right.

129
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,360
Will be the peace, an undisturbed composure.

130
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:12,720
You pray the scriptures.

131
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:13,560
Right.

132
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:14,400
And I just want to belabor that

133
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,280
because we're gonna talk about a different subject.

134
00:05:17,280 --> 00:05:18,520
But I'll go ahead and highlight.

135
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,480
Isaiah 55, 11 says, the word of God,

136
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:22,920
when you pray the word of God,

137
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,520
it goes right into the realm of the spirit.

138
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,600
It does not return void,

139
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:30,560
but it will produce and accomplish

140
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,560
on the behalf of the child or the generation

141
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:34,920
that you are praying into.

142
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:35,760
Yeah.

143
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,040
Jeremiah 1, 12 says, God said,

144
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,560
listen, I'm not a man that I should lie.

145
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,640
I don't repent of anything I've said.

146
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,800
If you pray my word and you apply these principles,

147
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:46,360
my word will go forth

148
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,560
and I will be ready to perform my word.

149
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:49,400
Yes.

150
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:50,240
Amen. Amen.

151
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,960
So Isaiah 20, how Isaiah verse 20 says,

152
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,400
he sent his word and he healed them

153
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,600
and delivered them from their destruction.

154
00:05:58,600 --> 00:05:59,520
That's right.

155
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,560
As a matter of fact, the word of God is spirit and life.

156
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,480
Again, it goes into the realm of the spirit,

157
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,080
does a return void,

158
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,040
and does something in the realm of the spirit.

159
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:11,880
That's why I'm hearing in my scripture,

160
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:15,880
Jesus said, blessed are those that believe and haven't seen.

161
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,200
Sometimes, you know, we just got to keep believing

162
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:20,600
and standing in faith,

163
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,640
even though we don't yet see results

164
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,920
on the behalf of our children that we're praying for.

165
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:27,400
You just gotta be steadfast.

166
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:28,240
Yeah.

167
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:29,360
Immovable. Right.

168
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,000
Always abounding in the labor, the work of prayer,

169
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:33,800
because your labors are not in vain.

170
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:34,640
Right.

171
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:36,560
Again, your prayers are working.

172
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:37,640
Say my prayers.

173
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:38,480
My prayers.

174
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:39,320
My prayers.

175
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:40,520
Work. Work.

176
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,400
It says in Matthew 8,8, Jesus said,

177
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,280
or the servant said to Jesus,

178
00:06:45,280 --> 00:06:49,560
speak a word and my servant will be healed.

179
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:53,920
Job 22,28, you will decree and establish a thing

180
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:57,360
and the light of God's favor will shine upon your ways.

181
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,040
So when you decree and you declare,

182
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:02,400
it will be established.

183
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:03,240
Yes.

184
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:04,280
Okay, so we're gonna go ahead

185
00:07:04,280 --> 00:07:07,040
and talk about the part of how to pray,

186
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,120
which is I would pray the word of God and the understanding,

187
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,360
but I'm also gonna pray in the spirit.

188
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,400
Not gonna get into this today,

189
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,480
but there is another level of praying.

190
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:21,000
And I actually addressed it in my book, Contend.

191
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,000
And I like the fact that I addressed it

192
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,760
because it's not a subject I teach on often anymore,

193
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,000
because people got off with this subject.

194
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:30,800
But there is another dimension of prayer

195
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:32,640
that we're not gonna get into today.

196
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:34,200
And it's the dimension of prayer

197
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:39,200
where you enter into Jeremiah 9,1,

198
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,440
John 7,38, out of your innermost being.

199
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:47,440
What happens is you have the love of God coming up

200
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:52,200
out of you and what you see affects your heart

201
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,280
and you have tears.

202
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:55,640
Yeah. Yes.

203
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,960
And it's not coming from the emotional realm,

204
00:07:57,960 --> 00:07:59,960
it's coming from the spirit realm.

205
00:07:59,960 --> 00:08:00,800
Yes.

206
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:02,840
What you see is affecting your heart

207
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:06,440
and you're actually co-laboring with God

208
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:11,440
or you're identifying with what is going on with that person

209
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:16,400
and there's tears and there's at times groanings

210
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,880
which cannot be uttered in articulate speech

211
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:20,320
or irregular kind of speech.

212
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,640
And we wanted to say this and highlight this.

213
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:28,280
Jesus stood at the tomb of Lazarus.

214
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:33,280
The Bible says he wet, he groaned in his spirit

215
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:37,040
and he was troubled.

216
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,360
Maybe not in that order, but it's all the same thing.

217
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:44,400
And he didn't pray anything that we can see in scripture.

218
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,840
He just, he wet, he was troubled in his spirit

219
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:49,760
and he groaned in his spirit.

220
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:51,720
And when he was done, he said,

221
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:55,160
Father, I thank you that you've heard me.

222
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:56,000
Yeah. That's right.

223
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,480
You hear me always when I pray.

224
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,200
So the things of the spirit are not like the things

225
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:02,480
of the natural.

226
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,360
And we can't compare natural things with spiritual things

227
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,560
but sometimes we try by saying it's like a woman

228
00:09:08,560 --> 00:09:10,960
giving birth, she's in labor, she's in toil,

229
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,920
she's in sadness and she kind of groans and poops

230
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,960
and there's travail with that and a toil.

231
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,840
And then eventually, boom, that baby is born.

232
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,880
And so a lot of times just before the birth of the promise,

233
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:25,360
the thing that you're standing on,

234
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,360
you may or may not enter into tears

235
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:29,800
and groanings in the spirit.

236
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:30,640
Oh yeah.

237
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:31,460
Okay.

238
00:09:31,460 --> 00:09:34,120
So whether you do or not really doesn't affect

239
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,080
the outcome of prayer because prayer opens up the door

240
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:38,280
for God to work.

241
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:39,100
Yes.

242
00:09:39,100 --> 00:09:40,600
But I just wanted to highlight that to you

243
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,680
because basically it's coming up in my spirit.

244
00:09:42,680 --> 00:09:44,440
I didn't plan on saying this.

245
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,080
So when Jesus prayed like that, he said,

246
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,160
Father, I thank you that you hear me

247
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,000
and you hear me always when I pray.

248
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:52,200
What happened?

249
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:53,960
He that was dead came forth.

250
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:55,080
That's right.

251
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:56,560
There's children, our children,

252
00:09:56,560 --> 00:09:59,600
they're dead in their trespasses and then sin, right?

253
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,500
But when you pray, he that is dead will come forth.

254
00:10:02,500 --> 00:10:03,800
Yes. Amen.

255
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:04,640
Okay.

256
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:08,620
Not only that, but Lazarus, he rises from the dead,

257
00:10:08,620 --> 00:10:10,800
but he has grave clothes on him.

258
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:12,440
So what did Jesus say?

259
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:13,440
He did speak a word.

260
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,960
He said, take those grave clothes off of him.

261
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,000
So when you pray and you stand in the gap

262
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,280
and you have that kind of intercession, that other level,

263
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,800
you will help to bring to birth

264
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:28,580
the person you are praying for who is not saved.

265
00:10:28,580 --> 00:10:33,380
Paul said, my little children in whom I travail in birth

266
00:10:33,380 --> 00:10:36,660
again till Christ be formed in you.

267
00:10:36,660 --> 00:10:40,220
So we prayed first for them to be born again.

268
00:10:41,100 --> 00:10:43,860
He prayed a second time in travail for Christ

269
00:10:43,860 --> 00:10:47,540
to be formed in them, relations 4 and T.

270
00:10:47,540 --> 00:10:49,680
So those grave clothes come off

271
00:10:49,680 --> 00:10:51,700
and he that was dead comes forth.

272
00:10:51,700 --> 00:10:54,140
So there is now the dimension of praying.

273
00:10:54,140 --> 00:10:55,940
The spirit of God wanted to highlight it

274
00:10:55,940 --> 00:10:57,540
and I thank God that he did.

275
00:10:57,540 --> 00:10:59,580
So when we talk about praying in the spirit,

276
00:10:59,580 --> 00:11:00,740
I will pray with the spirit,

277
00:11:00,740 --> 00:11:02,400
I will pray with the understanding also.

278
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:06,120
I wanna talk to you about the Holy Spirit

279
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:09,620
and basically Jesus spoke often

280
00:11:09,620 --> 00:11:11,360
of the Holy Spirit in his coming.

281
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,620
Just know that as we move into this teaching,

282
00:11:14,620 --> 00:11:17,460
he talked about the Holy Spirit in his coming

283
00:11:17,460 --> 00:11:21,100
at least 264 times in the New Testament

284
00:11:21,100 --> 00:11:24,220
and the Holy Spirit is spoken of 60 more times

285
00:11:24,220 --> 00:11:28,460
in the gospel and the very last words Jesus spoke

286
00:11:28,460 --> 00:11:31,300
before he ascended up into the, can you believe it?

287
00:11:31,300 --> 00:11:34,620
He went up into the clouds and he disappeared.

288
00:11:34,620 --> 00:11:35,620
Yeah, that's so true.

289
00:11:35,620 --> 00:11:37,380
I mean, to me that's just mind-popping.

290
00:11:37,380 --> 00:11:38,220
Right, right.

291
00:11:38,220 --> 00:11:41,560
They literally watched Jesus go up into the sky

292
00:11:41,560 --> 00:11:42,820
and disappear.

293
00:11:42,820 --> 00:11:44,700
But aren't you glad that the same Jesus

294
00:11:44,700 --> 00:11:46,740
went up into the sky.

295
00:11:46,740 --> 00:11:47,740
Will come again.

296
00:11:47,740 --> 00:11:49,020
Is coming again.

297
00:11:49,020 --> 00:11:49,860
That's right.

298
00:11:49,860 --> 00:11:50,700
The same way.

299
00:11:50,700 --> 00:11:51,540
Is coming again.

300
00:11:51,540 --> 00:11:52,380
Amen.

301
00:11:52,380 --> 00:11:54,500
No man knows the day, no man knows the hour,

302
00:11:54,500 --> 00:11:56,660
only the heart of the father knows the hour.

303
00:11:56,660 --> 00:11:57,980
We've gotta get ready.

304
00:11:57,980 --> 00:11:58,820
Right.

305
00:11:58,820 --> 00:11:59,980
We've gotta be prepared.

306
00:11:59,980 --> 00:12:00,820
Yeah.

307
00:12:00,820 --> 00:12:02,260
Because the king is coming.

308
00:12:02,260 --> 00:12:03,100
That's right.

309
00:12:03,100 --> 00:12:06,460
But the very last words that Jesus spoke

310
00:12:06,460 --> 00:12:09,980
before he went up into heaven, he said, listen,

311
00:12:09,980 --> 00:12:12,580
he said there's so much more to do.

312
00:12:12,580 --> 00:12:14,380
He said the very last words was,

313
00:12:14,380 --> 00:12:16,340
you're gonna receive power.

314
00:12:16,340 --> 00:12:17,220
Yes.

315
00:12:17,220 --> 00:12:20,300
When the Holy Spirit has come upon you

316
00:12:20,300 --> 00:12:23,340
and you're gonna be witnesses to me in Jerusalem,

317
00:12:23,340 --> 00:12:25,620
Judea, Samaria, and the innermost parts of the world.

318
00:12:25,620 --> 00:12:28,820
We know the apostles still didn't get it

319
00:12:28,820 --> 00:12:30,620
because the Holy Spirit was not yet given

320
00:12:30,620 --> 00:12:32,460
to give them revelation.

321
00:12:32,460 --> 00:12:34,500
They still didn't get it so they changed the subject

322
00:12:34,500 --> 00:12:36,620
and they asked something about who was gonna sit

323
00:12:36,620 --> 00:12:37,980
at the throne or whatever.

324
00:12:37,980 --> 00:12:39,100
I forget.

325
00:12:39,100 --> 00:12:39,940
I don't know.

326
00:12:39,940 --> 00:12:41,140
I have to read it.

327
00:12:41,140 --> 00:12:44,940
But they changed the subject and Jesus brought it right back.

328
00:12:44,940 --> 00:12:45,780
Right.

329
00:12:45,780 --> 00:12:48,500
You're gonna wait to the promise of my father

330
00:12:48,500 --> 00:12:49,580
which you've heard of me.

331
00:12:49,580 --> 00:12:50,420
He's coming.

332
00:12:50,420 --> 00:12:52,340
In other words, the Holy Spirit is coming.

333
00:12:52,340 --> 00:12:53,500
Don't go anywhere.

334
00:12:53,500 --> 00:12:55,820
Don't do anything till you be in duke

335
00:12:55,820 --> 00:12:58,100
with his power from on high from the Holy Spirit.

336
00:12:58,100 --> 00:12:58,940
Yes.

337
00:12:58,940 --> 00:13:02,140
And we know that 500 people went up into the upper room.

338
00:13:02,140 --> 00:13:02,980
Correct?

339
00:13:02,980 --> 00:13:03,820
Right.

340
00:13:03,820 --> 00:13:06,700
But we know that only 120 were left in the upper room.

341
00:13:06,700 --> 00:13:07,540
That's right.

342
00:13:07,540 --> 00:13:11,740
What that leads me to believe is the others got discouraged.

343
00:13:11,740 --> 00:13:13,940
They didn't believe the promises of God

344
00:13:13,940 --> 00:13:17,300
and then they missed their encounter with God.

345
00:13:17,300 --> 00:13:20,540
They missed an amazing time in church history

346
00:13:20,540 --> 00:13:23,460
which is the birth of the church age.

347
00:13:23,460 --> 00:13:24,300
Right.

348
00:13:24,300 --> 00:13:26,540
I don't know about you but I would be one of them

349
00:13:26,540 --> 00:13:28,300
that would be in that upper room.

350
00:13:28,300 --> 00:13:29,140
Yeah.

351
00:13:29,140 --> 00:13:29,980
I wouldn't faint.

352
00:13:29,980 --> 00:13:30,800
I wouldn't give up.

353
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:31,640
That's right.

354
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:32,480
I wouldn't hold back.

355
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:33,300
That's right.

356
00:13:33,300 --> 00:13:34,140
Go and draw back.

357
00:13:34,140 --> 00:13:34,980
God said it.

358
00:13:34,980 --> 00:13:35,820
He's gonna do it.

359
00:13:35,820 --> 00:13:36,640
I believe.

360
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:37,480
That's right.

361
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:38,580
I receive and I'm waiting.

362
00:13:38,580 --> 00:13:39,420
Yeah.

363
00:13:39,420 --> 00:13:43,580
And so when the Holy Spirit was poured out,

364
00:13:43,580 --> 00:13:46,060
the Bible says he came in.

365
00:13:46,060 --> 00:13:48,460
And aren't you glad that the Holy Spirit is a person?

366
00:13:48,460 --> 00:13:49,300
Yes.

367
00:13:49,300 --> 00:13:50,120
He's not an it.

368
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:50,960
He's not a thing.

369
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:51,780
Right.

370
00:13:51,780 --> 00:13:52,620
He's not a cloud.

371
00:13:52,620 --> 00:13:54,300
He's not a, you know, an influence.

372
00:13:54,300 --> 00:13:55,660
He is a person.

373
00:13:55,660 --> 00:13:56,500
That's right.

374
00:13:56,500 --> 00:13:58,100
And when it comes to prayer,

375
00:13:58,100 --> 00:14:02,220
we've got to involve the person of the Holy Spirit

376
00:14:02,220 --> 00:14:04,700
because he helps us when we pray.

377
00:14:04,700 --> 00:14:05,540
Yeah. Right.

378
00:14:05,540 --> 00:14:07,340
Because we can't do it on our own.

379
00:14:07,340 --> 00:14:08,180
No.

380
00:14:08,180 --> 00:14:09,460
We need this empowerment.

381
00:14:09,460 --> 00:14:10,300
Yeah.

382
00:14:10,300 --> 00:14:12,020
We need the Holy Spirit to help us.

383
00:14:12,020 --> 00:14:12,860
Right.

384
00:14:12,860 --> 00:14:13,680
And that's what he is.

385
00:14:13,680 --> 00:14:14,520
He's the helper.

386
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:16,380
He will help us in our prayer time.

387
00:14:16,380 --> 00:14:18,460
So when the Holy Spirit was poured out,

388
00:14:18,460 --> 00:14:21,740
the Bible says he came in like a rushing mighty wind.

389
00:14:21,740 --> 00:14:24,500
I love that because the Holy Spirit is very demonstrative.

390
00:14:24,500 --> 00:14:28,380
Well, not always, but he likes to demonstrate himself.

391
00:14:28,380 --> 00:14:29,220
Yeah.

392
00:14:29,220 --> 00:14:31,540
He comes in and he said, I have arrived.

393
00:14:31,540 --> 00:14:32,820
Yeah.

394
00:14:32,820 --> 00:14:33,660
I'm here.

395
00:14:33,660 --> 00:14:34,480
You're here.

396
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:35,500
I'm a small person.

397
00:14:35,500 --> 00:14:36,340
I'm here.

398
00:14:36,340 --> 00:14:37,700
I am a powerful person.

399
00:14:37,700 --> 00:14:38,540
That's right.

400
00:14:38,540 --> 00:14:40,300
I am the third person of the Godhead.

401
00:14:40,300 --> 00:14:41,140
Right.

402
00:14:41,140 --> 00:14:44,140
And I have come to help the church.

403
00:14:44,140 --> 00:14:46,980
Jesus said, I am going to build my church.

404
00:14:46,980 --> 00:14:47,820
Yeah.

405
00:14:47,820 --> 00:14:49,900
And the gates of hell will not prevail against it.

406
00:14:49,900 --> 00:14:50,740
Right.

407
00:14:50,740 --> 00:14:53,420
We can't build the church or even pray the way

408
00:14:53,420 --> 00:14:55,340
we really need to pray with power

409
00:14:55,340 --> 00:14:57,780
unless we have the Holy Spirit in his house.

410
00:14:57,780 --> 00:14:58,620
That's right.

411
00:14:58,620 --> 00:14:59,460
And listening.

412
00:14:59,460 --> 00:15:00,300
Yes.

413
00:15:00,300 --> 00:15:03,460
So the Holy Spirit comes in, he manifests himself,

414
00:15:03,460 --> 00:15:05,620
and the Bible says that cloven tongues,

415
00:15:05,620 --> 00:15:08,980
like as a fire appeared on the top of them.

416
00:15:08,980 --> 00:15:12,100
I believe what happened was they just sensed the power

417
00:15:12,100 --> 00:15:16,500
of God and it caused them to be like, whoa, what is this?

418
00:15:16,500 --> 00:15:19,580
It felt like something manifested on their head.

419
00:15:19,580 --> 00:15:21,580
And it was the power of the Holy Spirit.

420
00:15:21,580 --> 00:15:23,660
I actually had a girl, side note,

421
00:15:23,660 --> 00:15:26,260
who lived with me who came from Brazil.

422
00:15:26,260 --> 00:15:27,860
And it's like my friends always say,

423
00:15:27,860 --> 00:15:30,540
anybody who gets around you always gets affected.

424
00:15:30,540 --> 00:15:31,380
Right.

425
00:15:33,380 --> 00:15:35,460
And you don't even have to preach to them.

426
00:15:35,460 --> 00:15:36,700
They just get affected.

427
00:15:36,700 --> 00:15:37,540
Yeah.

428
00:15:37,540 --> 00:15:39,060
Because your life is,

429
00:15:39,060 --> 00:15:42,460
your life speaks more at times than your words.

430
00:15:42,460 --> 00:15:43,300
Yeah.

431
00:15:43,300 --> 00:15:46,420
And so long story short, one day she, I said to her,

432
00:15:46,420 --> 00:15:48,620
do you want to be filled with the Holy Spirit?

433
00:15:48,620 --> 00:15:49,860
And she said, yes.

434
00:15:49,860 --> 00:15:52,500
And so we went into, we, I don't know why,

435
00:15:52,500 --> 00:15:55,460
but I took her into my mudroom bathroom

436
00:15:55,460 --> 00:15:57,660
and that's where I prayed the prayer with her.

437
00:15:57,660 --> 00:16:00,540
And then she prayed, she was definitely born again

438
00:16:00,540 --> 00:16:01,860
because you gotta be born again

439
00:16:01,860 --> 00:16:04,820
in order to receive the baptism on the Holy Spirit, church.

440
00:16:04,820 --> 00:16:07,540
Don't pray the baptism on the Holy Spirit on anybody

441
00:16:07,540 --> 00:16:09,620
unless you know that they're born again.

442
00:16:09,620 --> 00:16:13,180
They confess Jesus Christ is Lord, he's the Lord and savior.

443
00:16:13,180 --> 00:16:15,140
I don't care if I know people, oh, I'm born again.

444
00:16:15,140 --> 00:16:16,420
I make them say it anyway,

445
00:16:16,420 --> 00:16:18,140
because like you said, I'm responsible.

446
00:16:18,140 --> 00:16:18,980
That's right.

447
00:16:18,980 --> 00:16:20,100
Now these other countries,

448
00:16:20,100 --> 00:16:22,460
you see all these other manifestations.

449
00:16:22,460 --> 00:16:24,660
That's why, especially in other countries,

450
00:16:24,660 --> 00:16:26,900
you gotta make sure people are saved.

451
00:16:26,900 --> 00:16:30,260
So I led her into the prayer for salvation

452
00:16:30,260 --> 00:16:32,700
and the prayer for the baptism of the Holy Spirit.

453
00:16:32,700 --> 00:16:33,980
And I had her pray the prayer.

454
00:16:33,980 --> 00:16:36,060
I always have this way that I do it,

455
00:16:36,060 --> 00:16:38,980
just to remind people that I will pray

456
00:16:38,980 --> 00:16:41,740
that the Holy Spirit's not gonna come upon you

457
00:16:41,740 --> 00:16:43,620
and make you say or do something

458
00:16:44,580 --> 00:16:46,340
that you don't wanna say or do.

459
00:16:46,340 --> 00:16:48,220
You have to yield to him.

460
00:16:48,220 --> 00:16:49,260
Yes.

461
00:16:49,260 --> 00:16:50,300
There's a yield.

462
00:16:50,300 --> 00:16:51,420
Well, I don't hear anything.

463
00:16:51,420 --> 00:16:53,780
No, you have to open up your mouth

464
00:16:53,780 --> 00:16:55,780
and you have to form the words.

465
00:16:55,780 --> 00:16:59,260
He uses your mouth, your vocal cords.

466
00:16:59,260 --> 00:17:00,580
Amen.

467
00:17:00,580 --> 00:17:01,420
That's right.

468
00:17:02,940 --> 00:17:03,780
Preaching.

469
00:17:03,780 --> 00:17:07,620
Yes, two minutes and I just preached about five sermons.

470
00:17:07,620 --> 00:17:08,460
Yeah.

471
00:17:08,460 --> 00:17:10,940
And so, just hear me out.

472
00:17:10,940 --> 00:17:12,700
The Holy Ghost is with us today.

473
00:17:12,700 --> 00:17:13,540
Amen.

474
00:17:13,540 --> 00:17:14,940
So the Holy Ghost came upon her.

475
00:17:14,940 --> 00:17:17,300
The power of the most high overshadowed her.

476
00:17:17,300 --> 00:17:21,340
And what rose up within her was a gusher

477
00:17:21,340 --> 00:17:25,940
and it wasn't Spanish or any other language or English.

478
00:17:25,940 --> 00:17:29,860
It was a language that came from heaven.

479
00:17:29,860 --> 00:17:30,700
Yes.

480
00:17:30,700 --> 00:17:33,500
And there is another language and it's called tongues.

481
00:17:33,500 --> 00:17:34,340
Right.

482
00:17:34,340 --> 00:17:36,860
And so, she was interesting to me

483
00:17:36,860 --> 00:17:39,540
because the first thing she said to me was

484
00:17:39,540 --> 00:17:41,980
she started speaking in tongues and then she goes,

485
00:17:41,980 --> 00:17:45,820
oh, I feel like something's sitting on my head.

486
00:17:45,820 --> 00:17:47,580
Now the girl knew nothing.

487
00:17:47,580 --> 00:17:49,340
And she was the power of God.

488
00:17:49,340 --> 00:17:51,060
So I literally sat, put the lid down,

489
00:17:51,060 --> 00:17:52,620
set her down because she was gonna fall

490
00:17:52,620 --> 00:17:54,060
under the power of God.

491
00:17:54,060 --> 00:17:54,900
Yeah.

492
00:17:54,900 --> 00:17:57,180
People wonder, why do people fall under the power?

493
00:17:57,180 --> 00:17:59,820
Well, because when something supernatural

494
00:17:59,820 --> 00:18:02,500
comes in contact with something natural,

495
00:18:02,500 --> 00:18:03,980
something's gotta give.

496
00:18:03,980 --> 00:18:04,820
Right.

497
00:18:04,820 --> 00:18:07,620
So I had to learn what the anointing at times

498
00:18:07,620 --> 00:18:09,340
is so strong on me sometimes.

499
00:18:09,340 --> 00:18:12,220
Sometimes I just have to hold on because you can't.

500
00:18:12,220 --> 00:18:14,780
As a leader, I think at times you can,

501
00:18:16,180 --> 00:18:18,700
sometimes you can just fall into the power later

502
00:18:18,700 --> 00:18:20,980
and God's going, I want you to use that anointing

503
00:18:20,980 --> 00:18:22,100
to teach my people.

504
00:18:22,100 --> 00:18:22,940
You know what I'm saying?

505
00:18:22,940 --> 00:18:23,780
You got a minister under that.

506
00:18:23,780 --> 00:18:25,300
Yes, got a minister.

507
00:18:25,300 --> 00:18:27,380
So anyway, I think that's what happened

508
00:18:27,380 --> 00:18:29,660
at the birth of the church age.

509
00:18:29,660 --> 00:18:31,100
The tongues appeared on them,

510
00:18:31,100 --> 00:18:32,820
my cloven tongues like as a fire.

511
00:18:32,820 --> 00:18:34,420
Maybe there was a fire, I don't know,

512
00:18:34,420 --> 00:18:36,260
but they felt the presence of God.

513
00:18:36,260 --> 00:18:37,100
Right.

514
00:18:37,100 --> 00:18:38,700
And what was the very first thing that happened

515
00:18:38,700 --> 00:18:40,300
at the birth of the church age

516
00:18:40,300 --> 00:18:42,620
when the Holy Spirit was poured out?

517
00:18:42,620 --> 00:18:43,980
They began to speak in other tongues.

518
00:18:43,980 --> 00:18:46,140
They all began to speak with other tongues

519
00:18:46,140 --> 00:18:47,860
as the Spirit gave them utterance.

520
00:18:47,860 --> 00:18:49,780
Wake up, church!

521
00:18:49,780 --> 00:18:54,780
We've neglected this so powerful prayer language

522
00:18:54,980 --> 00:18:56,380
that is so powerful.

523
00:18:56,380 --> 00:18:57,220
It's vital.

524
00:18:57,220 --> 00:19:02,220
According to Don, my friend Don, Don, Don,

525
00:19:04,980 --> 00:19:09,980
he wrote a book called Seven Days with the Witch.

526
00:19:10,540 --> 00:19:12,500
Did I tell you about this already?

527
00:19:12,500 --> 00:19:14,260
And Don Allen.

528
00:19:14,260 --> 00:19:17,900
And they got this woman who born again,

529
00:19:17,900 --> 00:19:19,420
I was gonna bring it actually for you.

530
00:19:19,420 --> 00:19:21,300
I'm gonna bring it, I should have brought it.

531
00:19:21,300 --> 00:19:24,740
Because it revealed like John Ramirez,

532
00:19:24,740 --> 00:19:27,580
the strategies of the devil.

533
00:19:27,580 --> 00:19:29,460
And these witches, interesting,

534
00:19:29,460 --> 00:19:31,500
literally, she had to literally,

535
00:19:31,500 --> 00:19:32,700
after she got born again,

536
00:19:32,700 --> 00:19:36,980
go to the four corners of the region that she was in

537
00:19:36,980 --> 00:19:39,900
and renounce the curses she put on those women.

538
00:19:39,900 --> 00:19:41,020
Oh, praise God.

539
00:19:41,020 --> 00:19:43,620
It's interesting, I had in my spirit to bring that book

540
00:19:43,620 --> 00:19:44,940
and I didn't know it was gonna talk about this

541
00:19:44,940 --> 00:19:47,060
and how the service would go.

542
00:19:47,060 --> 00:19:49,820
But anyway, she said in the book,

543
00:19:49,820 --> 00:19:52,420
one of the things that she said in the book

544
00:19:52,420 --> 00:19:55,300
is she was revealing the strategies of the enemy

545
00:19:55,300 --> 00:19:57,860
is that the only thing,

546
00:19:57,860 --> 00:19:59,420
we understand a lot of things,

547
00:19:59,420 --> 00:20:01,420
listen, about the laws of the spirit,

548
00:20:01,420 --> 00:20:03,180
how it all operates.

549
00:20:03,180 --> 00:20:07,060
He said, but the one thing we just cannot figure out

550
00:20:07,060 --> 00:20:12,060
is when Christians and believers speak in other tongues.

551
00:20:12,580 --> 00:20:14,980
We don't get it, we don't understand it,

552
00:20:14,980 --> 00:20:16,460
we know there's power in it,

553
00:20:16,460 --> 00:20:19,340
we know it disrupts what we wanna do.

554
00:20:19,340 --> 00:20:20,180
Right.

555
00:20:20,180 --> 00:20:22,260
She said, well, we just don't understand what it's for.

556
00:20:22,260 --> 00:20:24,300
It is a heavenly language.

557
00:20:24,300 --> 00:20:27,340
So I just wanted to make that known to you

558
00:20:27,340 --> 00:20:29,700
that the very first thing that happened

559
00:20:29,700 --> 00:20:33,260
is they all began to speak with other tongues.

560
00:20:33,260 --> 00:20:37,700
Can we please get back with the program?

561
00:20:37,700 --> 00:20:38,540
Yes.

562
00:20:38,540 --> 00:20:40,660
I am so annoyed.

563
00:20:40,660 --> 00:20:43,500
We've got these seeker-friendly churches

564
00:20:43,500 --> 00:20:46,140
and they don't want the manifestation of tongues

565
00:20:46,140 --> 00:20:47,700
and the gifts of the spirit

566
00:20:47,700 --> 00:20:50,220
and we have a powerless church.

567
00:20:50,220 --> 00:20:53,460
Bono, if you have anybody know Bono from YouTube,

568
00:20:53,460 --> 00:20:56,540
he said, religion is when the Holy Spirit

569
00:20:56,540 --> 00:20:57,820
has left the building.

570
00:20:57,820 --> 00:20:59,300
Right, there you go.

571
00:20:59,300 --> 00:21:01,700
We have a form of godliness

572
00:21:01,700 --> 00:21:04,580
and we deny the power thereof.

573
00:21:04,580 --> 00:21:06,660
We don't have the power of the Holy Spirit

574
00:21:06,660 --> 00:21:08,500
and we don't use our prayer language

575
00:21:08,500 --> 00:21:10,100
and we don't have the gifts of the spirit

576
00:21:10,100 --> 00:21:10,940
and the manifestation.

577
00:21:10,940 --> 00:21:12,940
We have a problem.

578
00:21:12,940 --> 00:21:14,900
I don't know about you, but I'm the kind of person,

579
00:21:14,900 --> 00:21:15,740
I get bored.

580
00:21:15,740 --> 00:21:17,060
I'm bored.

581
00:21:17,060 --> 00:21:17,900
I'm bored.

582
00:21:17,900 --> 00:21:18,740
I'm bored.

583
00:21:18,740 --> 00:21:20,300
I'm bored.

584
00:21:20,300 --> 00:21:21,140
I'm bored.

585
00:21:21,140 --> 00:21:21,980
What is that?

586
00:21:21,980 --> 00:21:23,340
Lack of the presence of God

587
00:21:23,340 --> 00:21:24,940
and the lack of the Holy Spirit

588
00:21:24,940 --> 00:21:27,220
and the lack of the manifestation of the Holy Spirit.

589
00:21:27,220 --> 00:21:28,580
You're bored.

590
00:21:28,580 --> 00:21:29,700
That's the problem.

591
00:21:29,700 --> 00:21:30,540
Right, why am I here?

592
00:21:30,540 --> 00:21:32,900
That's find a place where you're not bored

593
00:21:32,900 --> 00:21:35,220
and get out of that religious church

594
00:21:35,220 --> 00:21:37,780
and go into a Holy Ghost church

595
00:21:37,780 --> 00:21:39,820
where they're not only preaching the word,

596
00:21:39,820 --> 00:21:40,660
Yes!

597
00:21:40,660 --> 00:21:41,500
Yes!

598
00:21:41,500 --> 00:21:44,420
They're not only preaching the word,

599
00:21:44,420 --> 00:21:46,900
they have the manifestation of the Holy Spirit.

600
00:21:46,900 --> 00:21:48,420
We need both to fly.

601
00:21:48,420 --> 00:21:49,260
Yes!

602
00:21:49,260 --> 00:21:50,100
Amen, preaching girl.

603
00:21:50,100 --> 00:21:51,580
We need both to growl.

604
00:21:51,580 --> 00:21:54,820
So we just gotta get a grip.

605
00:21:54,820 --> 00:21:56,660
Please, if you're listening

606
00:21:56,660 --> 00:21:58,380
and you're not baptized in the Holy Spirit,

607
00:21:58,380 --> 00:22:00,340
you can get baptized in the Holy Spirit

608
00:22:00,340 --> 00:22:01,780
right at the end of this session.

609
00:22:01,780 --> 00:22:02,620
Yay!

610
00:22:02,620 --> 00:22:03,900
We've made it happen.

611
00:22:03,900 --> 00:22:04,740
Amen!

612
00:22:04,740 --> 00:22:05,700
So what is tongues?

613
00:22:05,700 --> 00:22:08,820
Or some people call it the baptism of the Holy Spirit

614
00:22:08,820 --> 00:22:10,060
or praying in the spirit.

615
00:22:10,060 --> 00:22:11,140
What is it?

616
00:22:11,140 --> 00:22:15,900
It is a supernatural means of communication.

617
00:22:15,900 --> 00:22:17,540
Yes. Amen.

618
00:22:17,540 --> 00:22:20,460
I'm always reminded about Kenneth E. Hagan.

619
00:22:20,460 --> 00:22:22,300
If you've never read this book,

620
00:22:22,300 --> 00:22:25,500
I Believe in Visions, read the book.

621
00:22:25,500 --> 00:22:26,340
Yep.

622
00:22:26,340 --> 00:22:29,580
It will make Jesus so alive to you.

623
00:22:29,580 --> 00:22:34,060
But I remember when he was talking about in the book,

624
00:22:34,060 --> 00:22:38,020
when he was in his body,

625
00:22:38,020 --> 00:22:40,300
he was not yet healed,

626
00:22:40,300 --> 00:22:42,580
and he left his body,

627
00:22:42,580 --> 00:22:44,900
and he was descending into hell

628
00:22:44,900 --> 00:22:47,700
because he was not born again.

629
00:22:47,700 --> 00:22:51,180
No man goes to the Father except through the Son.

630
00:22:51,180 --> 00:22:52,020
That's right.

631
00:22:52,020 --> 00:22:55,620
Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life.

632
00:22:55,620 --> 00:22:57,300
If you don't have Jesus,

633
00:22:57,300 --> 00:22:59,460
he's the bridge between God and man.

634
00:22:59,460 --> 00:23:01,060
He's the intercessor.

635
00:23:01,060 --> 00:23:03,140
You have to accept him in your heart,

636
00:23:03,140 --> 00:23:05,540
confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus,

637
00:23:05,540 --> 00:23:07,540
and you will be saved.

638
00:23:07,540 --> 00:23:09,740
So he said he was leaving his body,

639
00:23:09,740 --> 00:23:12,500
he was descending into hell,

640
00:23:12,500 --> 00:23:16,140
and he said he heard a voice speaking,

641
00:23:16,140 --> 00:23:20,860
and it wasn't in English or something learned language.

642
00:23:20,860 --> 00:23:23,220
It was the language of heaven.

643
00:23:23,220 --> 00:23:24,060
Yes.

644
00:23:24,060 --> 00:23:26,660
I believe it was the voice of God the Father

645
00:23:26,660 --> 00:23:28,740
was speaking in another language,

646
00:23:28,740 --> 00:23:30,660
and when that voice spoke,

647
00:23:30,660 --> 00:23:33,420
he was pulled back up out of hell

648
00:23:33,420 --> 00:23:35,100
and went back into his body,

649
00:23:35,100 --> 00:23:38,420
and I believe that happened three times.

650
00:23:38,420 --> 00:23:39,260
Okay?

651
00:23:39,260 --> 00:23:40,460
And by the third time,

652
00:23:40,460 --> 00:23:43,220
he said by the time he was getting back into his body,

653
00:23:43,220 --> 00:23:47,260
the third time, he said he had already been confessing

654
00:23:47,260 --> 00:23:49,540
Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior,

655
00:23:49,540 --> 00:23:51,580
and he was born again, as he said,

656
00:23:51,580 --> 00:23:53,580
right there on the bed of affliction.

657
00:23:53,580 --> 00:23:56,700
And I believe that that was the language of heaven

658
00:23:56,700 --> 00:24:00,020
that God was, oh, rabba, kash, k-k-k-k,

659
00:24:00,020 --> 00:24:02,820
and speaking to the devil and commanding the devil

660
00:24:02,820 --> 00:24:05,860
to bring him up out of that grave.

661
00:24:05,860 --> 00:24:06,700
Amen.

662
00:24:06,700 --> 00:24:07,540
Thank you, Lord.

663
00:24:07,540 --> 00:24:10,380
So it is a supernatural means of communication.

664
00:24:10,380 --> 00:24:14,060
You are speaking to God the language of heaven.

665
00:24:14,060 --> 00:24:15,900
Now we're talking about the prayer of intercession

666
00:24:15,900 --> 00:24:17,300
for the generations.

667
00:24:17,300 --> 00:24:18,300
Keep that in mind.

668
00:24:18,300 --> 00:24:19,140
Right.

669
00:24:19,140 --> 00:24:21,500
So 1 Corinthians 14 two says,

670
00:24:21,500 --> 00:24:24,620
for he who speaks in a tongue

671
00:24:24,620 --> 00:24:27,980
does not speak to men, but to God.

672
00:24:27,980 --> 00:24:28,820
Amen.

673
00:24:28,820 --> 00:24:29,900
For no one understands him,

674
00:24:29,900 --> 00:24:32,860
however in the spirit he speaks mysteries.

675
00:24:32,860 --> 00:24:34,460
You're speaking mysteries.

676
00:24:34,460 --> 00:24:37,260
Another translation says divine secrets.

677
00:24:37,260 --> 00:24:38,540
Yes.

678
00:24:38,540 --> 00:24:43,300
Amplified says, for one who speaks in an unknown tongue

679
00:24:43,300 --> 00:24:46,820
speaks not to men, but to God,

680
00:24:46,820 --> 00:24:49,940
for no one understands or catches its meaning

681
00:24:49,940 --> 00:24:53,460
because in the spirit he utters secret truths

682
00:24:53,460 --> 00:24:55,940
and hidden things, not obviously the understanding.

683
00:24:55,940 --> 00:24:57,820
So when you pray in the Holy Ghost,

684
00:24:57,820 --> 00:24:59,340
when you're praying in tongues,

685
00:24:59,340 --> 00:25:02,740
on the behalf of the generations or your child,

686
00:25:02,740 --> 00:25:04,740
you're not speaking to people.

687
00:25:04,740 --> 00:25:07,060
You're speaking directly to God,

688
00:25:07,060 --> 00:25:08,860
the divine secrets of God,

689
00:25:08,860 --> 00:25:11,100
and you're praying according to the will of God

690
00:25:11,100 --> 00:25:12,500
on the behalf of that child.

691
00:25:12,500 --> 00:25:13,340
Yes.

692
00:25:13,340 --> 00:25:16,580
And don't underestimate the power of this time prayer.

693
00:25:16,580 --> 00:25:17,420
That's right.

694
00:25:17,420 --> 00:25:18,260
Yes, amen.

695
00:25:18,260 --> 00:25:19,100
You know what?

696
00:25:19,100 --> 00:25:20,820
Your mind doesn't understand what you're saying.

697
00:25:20,820 --> 00:25:21,660
That's right.

698
00:25:21,660 --> 00:25:23,540
And to be honest, thank God half the time.

699
00:25:23,540 --> 00:25:24,380
Yes.

700
00:25:24,380 --> 00:25:25,220
Really.

701
00:25:25,220 --> 00:25:28,020
Because we said that if we get in the way,

702
00:25:28,020 --> 00:25:29,860
we're gonna be praying our own will,

703
00:25:29,860 --> 00:25:32,180
our own desires, our own things,

704
00:25:32,180 --> 00:25:33,380
and we're gonna mess it all up.

705
00:25:33,380 --> 00:25:35,580
We're gonna be praying witchcraft prayers,

706
00:25:35,580 --> 00:25:37,140
then we're really in trouble.

707
00:25:37,140 --> 00:25:37,980
Right.

708
00:25:37,980 --> 00:25:38,820
Yeah.

709
00:25:38,820 --> 00:25:39,660
Are you listening?

710
00:25:39,660 --> 00:25:40,480
Yes.

711
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:42,780
So you're speaking a supernatural language of heaven.

712
00:25:42,780 --> 00:25:45,620
Number two, when you pray in the Holy Ghost,

713
00:25:45,620 --> 00:25:49,300
your spirit is praying or communing with God.

714
00:25:49,300 --> 00:25:52,140
John 4.24.

715
00:25:52,140 --> 00:25:53,980
God is a spirit.

716
00:25:53,980 --> 00:25:56,500
It's spirit to spirit communication.

717
00:25:56,500 --> 00:25:58,180
This is important for us to understand.

718
00:25:58,180 --> 00:25:59,780
All right, you ready?

719
00:25:59,780 --> 00:26:00,620
Ready.

720
00:26:00,620 --> 00:26:01,980
You are a spirit.

721
00:26:01,980 --> 00:26:02,820
Yes.

722
00:26:02,820 --> 00:26:07,100
You have a soul and you live in a body.

723
00:26:07,100 --> 00:26:09,540
When you're praying in the Holy Ghost,

724
00:26:09,540 --> 00:26:13,580
it's your spirit by the Holy Spirit praying,

725
00:26:13,580 --> 00:26:16,660
and that prayer is a Revelations 5.8.

726
00:26:16,660 --> 00:26:18,860
It's going up before the throne of God.

727
00:26:18,860 --> 00:26:22,360
It is a sweet incense, and we're gonna get into this.

728
00:26:22,360 --> 00:26:26,220
You're praying and communicating the language of heaven,

729
00:26:26,220 --> 00:26:28,580
and this kind of praying works.

730
00:26:28,580 --> 00:26:29,540
Yes.

731
00:26:29,540 --> 00:26:31,160
I'm gonna give you another example.

732
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,540
When I first got filled with the Holy Spirit,

733
00:26:34,540 --> 00:26:36,100
I'll never forget it because,

734
00:26:36,100 --> 00:26:37,460
how many of you remember when you got filled

735
00:26:37,460 --> 00:26:38,300
with the Holy Spirit the whole day?

736
00:26:38,300 --> 00:26:39,680
Oh yeah, absolutely.

737
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:41,620
I was hungry for the things of God.

738
00:26:41,620 --> 00:26:43,500
I had been born again two weeks prior.

739
00:26:43,500 --> 00:26:46,060
I really heard the horrible voice of God say to me,

740
00:26:46,060 --> 00:26:48,460
only believe, because I kept asking him and asking him

741
00:26:48,460 --> 00:26:50,560
and asking him, what must I do to be saved?

742
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:51,860
What must I do to be saved?

743
00:26:51,860 --> 00:26:53,620
Just couldn't get anywhere one day.

744
00:26:53,620 --> 00:26:55,780
His grace, which is sufficient.

745
00:26:55,780 --> 00:26:58,700
After a while, it took a year.

746
00:26:58,700 --> 00:27:00,220
What must I do to be saved?

747
00:27:00,220 --> 00:27:01,260
I don't know why time,

748
00:27:01,260 --> 00:27:02,500
it's like you were saying the other day,

749
00:27:02,500 --> 00:27:04,500
I don't know why some things take time.

750
00:27:04,500 --> 00:27:05,340
Right.

751
00:27:05,340 --> 00:27:08,740
I don't know why it took him a year to speak to me.

752
00:27:08,740 --> 00:27:09,580
I don't know why.

753
00:27:09,580 --> 00:27:10,420
Do you guys know everything?

754
00:27:10,420 --> 00:27:11,260
Yes.

755
00:27:11,260 --> 00:27:13,180
Like you always say, ask, seek, and knock.

756
00:27:13,180 --> 00:27:14,020
Right.

757
00:27:14,020 --> 00:27:14,840
We just gotta keep asking.

758
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:15,780
I don't know what it is,

759
00:27:15,780 --> 00:27:17,940
but after a year of praying like that,

760
00:27:17,940 --> 00:27:20,580
I heard audibly on the inside of me,

761
00:27:20,580 --> 00:27:22,020
when I kept going, what do I do to be saved?

762
00:27:22,020 --> 00:27:23,220
What do I have to do to be saved?

763
00:27:23,220 --> 00:27:24,780
Lord, what do I have to do?

764
00:27:24,780 --> 00:27:28,420
I audibly heard, only believe.

765
00:27:28,420 --> 00:27:29,260
Right.

766
00:27:29,260 --> 00:27:31,300
And then something popped on the inside of me.

767
00:27:31,300 --> 00:27:32,140
Right, right.

768
00:27:32,140 --> 00:27:33,420
And I said, I believe.

769
00:27:33,420 --> 00:27:34,260
Yes.

770
00:27:34,260 --> 00:27:38,020
And I literally was translated out of the kingdom of darkness,

771
00:27:38,020 --> 00:27:39,940
into the kingdom of his dear son,

772
00:27:39,940 --> 00:27:40,780
in Romans 5, 5,

773
00:27:40,780 --> 00:27:44,180
the love of God was shed abroad in my heart by the Holy Ghost.

774
00:27:44,180 --> 00:27:47,900
I felt the love of God being poured into my heart,

775
00:27:47,900 --> 00:27:50,660
and I was completely transformed and changed,

776
00:27:50,660 --> 00:27:53,380
and became a brand new creature in Christ.

777
00:27:53,380 --> 00:27:54,200
Amen.

778
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:55,740
Literally all things pass away,

779
00:27:55,740 --> 00:27:56,820
all things became new.

780
00:27:56,820 --> 00:27:57,660
Yes.

781
00:27:57,660 --> 00:27:58,480
Where did that happen?

782
00:27:58,480 --> 00:27:59,320
Right on the inside.

783
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:00,160
That's right.

784
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,140
In my spirit, my spirit was born again.

785
00:28:02,140 --> 00:28:04,900
My soul was the same, and my body was the same.

786
00:28:04,900 --> 00:28:05,740
That's exactly right.

787
00:28:05,740 --> 00:28:07,020
My soul just needed to be renewed.

788
00:28:07,020 --> 00:28:07,860
That's it.

789
00:28:07,860 --> 00:28:09,100
How's your soul renewed?

790
00:28:09,100 --> 00:28:12,340
Your soul is renewed with the word of God.

791
00:28:12,340 --> 00:28:13,180
That's right.

792
00:28:13,180 --> 00:28:15,420
Geez, the anointing in here is incredible.

793
00:28:15,420 --> 00:28:16,540
That's why the Bible says,

794
00:28:16,540 --> 00:28:18,340
be not, be, be not,

795
00:28:18,340 --> 00:28:19,500
be transformed.

796
00:28:19,500 --> 00:28:22,020
Don't conform yourself to this world.

797
00:28:22,020 --> 00:28:22,860
Right, yeah.

798
00:28:22,860 --> 00:28:26,760
But be transformed by the renewing of your mind

799
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:27,820
with the word of God.

800
00:28:27,820 --> 00:28:29,580
So your soul is transformed,

801
00:28:29,580 --> 00:28:32,140
your mind is renewed with the word of God.

802
00:28:32,140 --> 00:28:33,500
So I was excited.

803
00:28:33,500 --> 00:28:34,740
I got born again.

804
00:28:34,740 --> 00:28:36,620
I'm telling everybody I'm born again.

805
00:28:36,620 --> 00:28:40,300
I was a little hippie girl, short shorts,

806
00:28:40,300 --> 00:28:41,140
the whole thing.

807
00:28:41,140 --> 00:28:42,380
How about the hippies?

808
00:28:42,380 --> 00:28:43,380
How the hippie girls were?

809
00:28:43,380 --> 00:28:44,860
Just the whole thing.

810
00:28:44,860 --> 00:28:45,700
Yes.

811
00:28:45,700 --> 00:28:47,540
Shocked out.

812
00:28:47,540 --> 00:28:48,380
Yeah.

813
00:28:48,380 --> 00:28:50,700
So anyway, and I still didn't,

814
00:28:50,700 --> 00:28:52,560
I was like, I'm still me,

815
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:54,940
but something was different on the inside.

816
00:28:54,940 --> 00:28:56,920
Two weeks later, I went to,

817
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,600
I was led by the Spirit.

818
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:00,440
Oh yes.

819
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:01,960
Of course you were.

820
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:03,520
You're being led by your Spirit.

821
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:04,440
Just know that.

822
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:05,840
Yes, amen.

823
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:07,760
And so I was led by my Spirit

824
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:09,960
and somehow found this church.

825
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:10,960
And me and my girlfriend,

826
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,200
we went to this service and they were all,

827
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:14,480
some gang that they are,

828
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:16,440
mando ramas, so ya ha,

829
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:17,560
singing in the Spirit.

830
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:19,640
That's gotta be restored to the church as well.

831
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:20,480
Yes it does.

832
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:21,960
Yes it does.

833
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:22,800
Really.

834
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:23,620
As a friend of mine said,

835
00:29:23,620 --> 00:29:25,240
for the love of God and everything is holy.

836
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:26,080
Yes.

837
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:26,920
Seriously.

838
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:27,760
Seriously.

839
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,040
For the love of God to do this.

840
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:31,360
Let's do this.

841
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:32,200
Amen.

842
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:33,040
And I'm watching.

843
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:33,880
Yeah.

844
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:34,720
And I'm watching.

845
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:37,480
Singing in the Spirit.

846
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:38,320
Yes.

847
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:39,160
Yes.

848
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:40,760
How many of you have ever been in a service where,

849
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:42,320
you know, especially back in the day

850
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:45,160
where everybody was singing in the Holy Ghost

851
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:47,280
and it was like the tongues of man.

852
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:48,120
Every day.
