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

2
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:06,020
The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man

3
00:00:06,020 --> 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 --> 00:00:31,080
doesn't return void, it produces results.

8
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:21,080
God will put the prayer in your heart to pray

9
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:46,080
so that he can answer it.

10
00:01:52,080 --> 00:02:01,080
God will put the prayer in your heart to pray

11
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:29,080
so that he can answer it.

12
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:38,080
God will put the prayer in your heart to pray

13
00:02:38,080 --> 00:03:03,080
so that he can answer it.

14
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:15,080
God will put the prayer in your heart to pray

15
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:41,080
so that he can answer it.

16
00:03:45,080 --> 00:04:12,080
Good evening and welcome to Touch by Prayer.

17
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,080
I am so, I am so excited.

18
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:15,080
Do you know why?

19
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,080
Because I have known my guest, my goodness gracious,

20
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:22,080
I think since 2012, and I'm just going to tell you

21
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,080
something, sometimes you do kind of have to track

22
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:29,080
somebody down in order to get them into your life.

23
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,080
And when you know it's a God connection,

24
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,080
then you know it's a God connection.

25
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,080
And that's exactly who my guest is.

26
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,080
Margie Forant has been a friend.

27
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:41,080
I met her back in, oh my gosh, 2012.

28
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:42,080
She's introduced me.

29
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,080
She introduced me to Carrie Fishman.

30
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,080
We have such a history.

31
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,080
I'm super excited to have her back because she has

32
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,080
mandate to teach people how to pray.

33
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:51,080
And she is back.

34
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,080
And she is back with a vengeance because she is

35
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,080
going to take the heavens by storm.

36
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:01,080
So without further ado, please welcome to the show

37
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:02,080
Margie Forant.

38
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:03,080
Hi.

39
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:04,080
Hi, Lisa.

40
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:05,080
How are you?

41
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,080
I have my hat on again.

42
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,080
Oh, no, I love your hat.

43
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:10,080
Thanks for praying.

44
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,080
It's time to pray.

45
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:13,080
It is time to pray.

46
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,080
And that's what you're all about.

47
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,080
The first time that I met you, you said, I want to

48
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,080
teach the world how to pray.

49
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,080
That was the thing that you said.

50
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,080
I said, OK.

51
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,080
And that's exactly what you've done.

52
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,080
You've definitely taught me how to pray.

53
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,080
You've taught me the importance of praying in

54
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:32,080
the spirit.

55
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,080
You've taught me the importance of being an

56
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:35,080
intercessor.

57
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,080
I didn't even understand what an intercessor was

58
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,080
like to pray in the spirit, but I'm going to do it

59
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:41,080
with you and you.

60
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:45,080
I'm going to read your book and and until I've I

61
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,080
set it underneath your teaching.

62
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,080
So thank you so much for all you've poured into me.

63
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:50,080
I really appreciate it.

64
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:51,080
I love you.

65
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:52,080
I'm proud of you.

66
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,080
Go and keep obeying God.

67
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,080
That's what I'm trying to do.

68
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,080
I'll tell you, it's so it's really interesting

69
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,080
because I think I remember telling you when I was

70
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,080
going to start this, I think I told you when I was

71
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,080
going to start this broadcast and you're like,

72
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:10,220
it. So a lot of people are popping on to say hello. So

73
00:06:10,220 --> 00:06:16,740
good evening. Travis. Travis is back. Yay. Travis. Travis has

74
00:06:16,740 --> 00:06:19,260
a story but this is the first time that he's back. So it's

75
00:06:19,260 --> 00:06:24,260
nice to see his face. So okay, so let's, let's talk a little

76
00:06:24,260 --> 00:06:28,900
bit about the importance of prayer because one of the things

77
00:06:28,900 --> 00:06:35,420
that you have taught me is that our prayers available much. So

78
00:06:35,420 --> 00:06:38,220
sometimes when we are, when we're praying and we are

79
00:06:38,220 --> 00:06:42,780
contending, we can't stop. We just have to keep pushing.

80
00:06:43,740 --> 00:06:49,620
Right. Well, James 516 is a classic scripture on the power

81
00:06:49,620 --> 00:06:53,580
of our prayers. It says the effectual fervent prayer of a

82
00:06:53,580 --> 00:06:59,780
righteous man avails much. A lot of times what I've seen in

83
00:07:00,020 --> 00:07:04,580
being just being in ministry for 44 years is that people get

84
00:07:04,580 --> 00:07:09,860
tired. They grow weary. They lose hope. They don't stay in

85
00:07:09,860 --> 00:07:15,980
faith because it's just prayer. It's faith and prayer. And

86
00:07:15,980 --> 00:07:19,020
people give up, they quit, they stop because they think that

87
00:07:19,020 --> 00:07:22,780
God hasn't answered their prayer or he's not listening. And

88
00:07:22,780 --> 00:07:26,100
there is nothing further from the truth. God hears us when we

89
00:07:26,100 --> 00:07:29,500
pray. The Bible says my eyes will be open and my ears

90
00:07:29,500 --> 00:07:33,980
attentive onto the prayers that are made in this place. So God

91
00:07:33,980 --> 00:07:38,940
hears us. We know he hears us. The Bible says we know that we

92
00:07:38,940 --> 00:07:43,300
have the petitions that we desire of him. Sometimes we just

93
00:07:43,300 --> 00:07:48,020
need to understand or we need to teach as leaders that there's a

94
00:07:48,020 --> 00:07:50,460
time when a person prays and then there's a time when the

95
00:07:50,460 --> 00:07:54,740
manifestation comes. It's just what do we do in between? Right.

96
00:07:55,580 --> 00:07:59,620
That's why Jesus said in Luke 18 one, he said men are to always

97
00:07:59,620 --> 00:08:05,460
pray and not faint. Don't faint. Don't give up. Like

98
00:08:05,460 --> 00:08:08,860
Kenneth E. Hagan used to teach us in Bible school, you know,

99
00:08:08,860 --> 00:08:13,020
after you've prayed, you know, it's like walking into a room

100
00:08:13,020 --> 00:08:17,140
that's dark. You get that room to light up, you turn that

101
00:08:17,140 --> 00:08:21,540
switch on and the light, you know, illuminates and you can

102
00:08:21,540 --> 00:08:26,700
see. Well, it's the same thing. I like this analogy about

103
00:08:26,700 --> 00:08:31,940
keeping the switch of faith. Yes. We're done. Did you turn

104
00:08:31,940 --> 00:08:36,740
off your light a little bit? Did I? Yeah. I'm still here. No,

105
00:08:36,740 --> 00:08:40,140
no, no, no. You're good. But when you said that, when you

106
00:08:40,140 --> 00:08:44,900
said that you're you actually got dim in your in your house

107
00:08:44,900 --> 00:08:49,180
and then it turned out am I the only one who saw that? I think

108
00:08:49,180 --> 00:08:53,180
I'm like, did this turn on? Because I know where your

109
00:08:53,180 --> 00:08:58,820
switches are. They're far. I'm like, unless there's somebody

110
00:08:58,820 --> 00:09:02,460
there who decided to do that for a job. There is somebody here.

111
00:09:02,500 --> 00:09:11,780
I am telling you. It did it got dim and then all of it came back

112
00:09:11,780 --> 00:09:15,780
on. I was like, Okay, well, there you go. I really felt like

113
00:09:15,780 --> 00:09:19,620
what you said it's so important. Because especially the past

114
00:09:19,620 --> 00:09:24,500
four years it if people are still standing it's because

115
00:09:24,500 --> 00:09:28,860
they were praying. Yeah, yes, you have to keep the switch of

116
00:09:28,860 --> 00:09:32,660
faith turned on. And no matter what you see, no matter what you

117
00:09:32,660 --> 00:09:36,260
feel, no matter what the circumstances look like, you've

118
00:09:36,260 --> 00:09:41,500
got to stand and the Bible says having done all to stand, stand

119
00:09:41,540 --> 00:09:47,860
therefore with the full armor of God. You know, we're ladies, we

120
00:09:47,860 --> 00:09:51,100
I can put it like this stick those heels in the ground and

121
00:09:51,140 --> 00:09:57,700
don't move. Don't faint. Don't quit. Don't stress. God has

122
00:09:57,700 --> 00:10:01,820
everything under control as you turn it over to Him in the place

123
00:10:01,820 --> 00:10:06,420
of prayer, because prayer opens up the door for God to work. So

124
00:10:06,420 --> 00:10:10,020
when we pray, yes, I know, the Spirit just said to me, we have

125
00:10:10,020 --> 00:10:15,820
not, we asked not right. So when we pray, it opens up the door

126
00:10:15,820 --> 00:10:20,420
for God to work. And he begins to work. And it's our faith that

127
00:10:20,420 --> 00:10:24,500
mobilizes us, it's our faith that steadies us. And that's why

128
00:10:24,500 --> 00:10:28,580
it's very important to keep that switch of faith turned on.

129
00:10:28,860 --> 00:10:34,140
Because me as humans are the God's avenue into the earth. And

130
00:10:34,140 --> 00:10:39,100
when we pray, it activates God's will in the earth.

131
00:10:39,500 --> 00:10:43,700
And I think that just recently you are you started to do used

132
00:10:43,700 --> 00:10:47,220
to do phone calls all the time. And you've come back to doing

133
00:10:47,220 --> 00:10:50,420
phone calls, which you're going to be doing every Thursday, nine

134
00:10:50,420 --> 00:10:54,220
o'clock, their intercessory phone calls. So basically, you

135
00:10:54,220 --> 00:10:57,540
give people that what the Lord is telling you, and then

136
00:10:57,580 --> 00:11:01,180
everybody starts to pray. And a lot of people are praying in the

137
00:11:01,180 --> 00:11:04,540
spirit. Could you could you just kind of share with people?

138
00:11:04,540 --> 00:11:06,940
Because I think that you're teaching about praying in the

139
00:11:06,940 --> 00:11:09,180
spirit is what has impacted me the most.

140
00:11:09,180 --> 00:11:12,780
Well, our Thursday, we're calling it the KU prayer

141
00:11:12,780 --> 00:11:16,500
conference calls. And I used to do them years ago. It's not

142
00:11:16,500 --> 00:11:19,980
video, it's not Facebook Live, right? It's a prayer conference

143
00:11:19,980 --> 00:11:23,700
call. So people can have their earbuds in their headphones on

144
00:11:23,700 --> 00:11:26,380
they can be in the car, they could be anywhere and be joining

145
00:11:26,380 --> 00:11:31,820
in posture doesn't have to be on your knees in a closet, it can

146
00:11:31,820 --> 00:11:34,620
be right where you are in the grocery store, and you can join

147
00:11:34,620 --> 00:11:39,180
in and enter because, you know, God hears us no matter what

148
00:11:39,180 --> 00:11:43,020
posture, and he's activated no matter what posture we are in.

149
00:11:43,060 --> 00:11:48,020
So I felt led to to reboot the prayer conference calls. And

150
00:11:48,020 --> 00:11:51,900
it's a stream out of our KU Kingdom Intercessors United. And

151
00:11:51,900 --> 00:11:55,820
yes, we're having them at 9am, every Thursday, Eastern

152
00:11:55,820 --> 00:12:01,900
Standard Time. And we launched our first one last week, and the

153
00:12:01,900 --> 00:12:04,740
Lord told me to share a dream that I had, which we'll probably

154
00:12:04,740 --> 00:12:09,260
get into while we're on today. And just encourage people that

155
00:12:09,260 --> 00:12:15,500
yes, we've prayed, and we've stood in the gap for years. And

156
00:12:15,540 --> 00:12:19,340
we're beginning to see the ship turning, we're beginning to see

157
00:12:19,340 --> 00:12:23,580
the answers to our prayers. But it's not a time for us to draw

158
00:12:23,580 --> 00:12:28,780
back, it's not a time to relax. It's it we've got to keep on

159
00:12:28,780 --> 00:12:33,580
on praying because the devil neither slumbers or sleeps on

160
00:12:33,620 --> 00:12:37,420
devil's always active. It's not a time for us to go, Oh, we've

161
00:12:37,420 --> 00:12:40,300
seen some fruit of our prayers. People are talking about God

162
00:12:40,300 --> 00:12:46,820
again. People are like saying Jesus again on TV. God bless you

163
00:12:46,820 --> 00:12:51,580
and Merry Christmas again on TV. And no matter where we are,

164
00:12:51,580 --> 00:12:56,860
and people aren't ashamed of the gospel. We have a leader in power

165
00:12:56,860 --> 00:13:01,060
that is encouraging us to be who we are in our authentic

166
00:13:01,060 --> 00:13:05,980
Christianity. Right? Oh, I felt like the Lord wanted me to kick

167
00:13:05,980 --> 00:13:10,940
off the Thursday morning 9am prayer calls with the dream that

168
00:13:10,940 --> 00:13:15,380
I had. But with respect to praying in the spirit, what's

169
00:13:15,380 --> 00:13:18,620
interesting about the prayer calls, and I think I said it in

170
00:13:18,620 --> 00:13:22,740
the in the, in the time that we have, and you can actually hear

171
00:13:22,740 --> 00:13:25,740
it on the replay, those of you that have heard it, is I never

172
00:13:25,740 --> 00:13:31,500
get to really, I do teach basics, right? And I have taught

173
00:13:31,500 --> 00:13:35,820
basics, I will continue to teach basics. But some of my media work

174
00:13:35,820 --> 00:13:39,500
is just God just says to me, you just go right in and you

175
00:13:41,340 --> 00:13:45,940
keep giving me the word. It's bold praying. Come on, prayers.

176
00:13:46,020 --> 00:13:50,220
Come on, praying in tongues and praying in the spirit. Because

177
00:13:50,220 --> 00:13:54,060
when you pray in the Holy Ghost, you're praying the mind, the

178
00:13:54,060 --> 00:13:58,540
will and the purpose of God, you're not praying out of your

179
00:13:58,540 --> 00:14:02,020
head, you're praying in the spirit according to Romans eight

180
00:14:02,020 --> 00:14:07,540
26 through 28. So in our Thursday morning, 9am prayer,

181
00:14:07,540 --> 00:14:10,980
KU you prayer conference call, you know, I just told them we're

182
00:14:10,980 --> 00:14:13,900
going to go ahead and after I do teaching, we're just going to go

183
00:14:13,900 --> 00:14:16,980
ahead and just go ahead and jump in and just start if you pray in

184
00:14:16,980 --> 00:14:21,340
the Holy Ghost, right, right in the Holy Ghost, come on. And so

185
00:14:21,340 --> 00:14:24,060
I went ahead and muted everybody because if you've got if you've

186
00:14:24,060 --> 00:14:29,420
got, you know, 120 people praying in the chaotic, right,

187
00:14:29,460 --> 00:14:34,700
new people, I pray, people follow down the things that God's

188
00:14:34,740 --> 00:14:38,420
the season that I'm in right now is, and have been for about

189
00:14:38,420 --> 00:14:42,820
three years, but full blown. I'm in it is he wants me to mentor

190
00:14:42,820 --> 00:14:48,660
people in prayer, not just teaching, example. So I start

191
00:14:48,660 --> 00:14:52,020
out, this is for the Thursday meetings, I start out and I'm

192
00:14:52,020 --> 00:14:54,540
praying in the spirit. And then what happens, Lisa, I start to

193
00:14:54,540 --> 00:14:58,500
interpret my tongue, right. And then we had a lot of praying in

194
00:14:58,500 --> 00:15:02,540
English, a lot of heartfelt praying. And it was so

195
00:15:02,540 --> 00:15:06,500
interesting how the Holy Spirit just took us and that web that

196
00:15:06,500 --> 00:15:11,580
ebb and flow of, of the mind and will and of God was manifested

197
00:15:11,580 --> 00:15:14,420
through that conference prayer call. So yes, praying in the

198
00:15:14,420 --> 00:15:18,620
spirit, you know, if you ask anything according to his will,

199
00:15:18,660 --> 00:15:21,940
that's right. Here's us. Here's us. We know we have the

200
00:15:21,940 --> 00:15:25,860
petition. Well, the Bible says when we pray in tongues, or

201
00:15:25,860 --> 00:15:29,900
praying the spirit, we're praying according to the will

202
00:15:29,900 --> 00:15:33,700
of God, we just don't understand what we're saying. That's right.

203
00:15:33,900 --> 00:15:38,660
interpretation. But Corinthians says God understands you, you're

204
00:15:38,660 --> 00:15:43,500
speaking mysteries to, to, to you and your mind and even to

205
00:15:43,500 --> 00:15:47,100
one another. But it's not a mystery to God. Now, you're

206
00:15:47,100 --> 00:15:50,620
speaking in a language that God understands that it supersedes

207
00:15:50,740 --> 00:15:54,180
English, it supersedes Portuguese, it supersedes

208
00:15:54,420 --> 00:15:59,940
Spanish, it supersedes French, Italian, whatever language that

209
00:15:59,940 --> 00:16:03,220
you speak, it supersedes all of it, right. And you're entering

210
00:16:03,220 --> 00:16:06,020
into the realm of the spirit, you're praying according to the

211
00:16:06,020 --> 00:16:10,380
mind of God. And what I've seen in our in our meetings is that

212
00:16:10,380 --> 00:16:12,940
people have neglected praying in tongues. It's interesting that

213
00:16:12,940 --> 00:16:15,940
you bring this up. People are neglecting praying in the Holy

214
00:16:15,940 --> 00:16:19,140
Ghost, because they don't understand what they're saying.

215
00:16:19,460 --> 00:16:22,260
And I tell people, you don't understand what you're saying.

216
00:16:22,660 --> 00:16:26,020
But God understands you. Yeah. And when you're praying in

217
00:16:26,020 --> 00:16:31,260
tongues, you're praying according to his will puts the

218
00:16:31,260 --> 00:16:35,820
prayer in our heart. And those of us that when we yield to him,

219
00:16:35,820 --> 00:16:39,540
we are the house of prayer, he puts the prayer in our heart, we

220
00:16:39,540 --> 00:16:43,380
pray it out, and it opens up the door for God to move God to

221
00:16:43,380 --> 00:16:46,420
manifest God to influence our children if they're going the

222
00:16:46,420 --> 00:16:51,700
wrong way, God to heal our land, God to do whatever he desires to

223
00:16:51,700 --> 00:16:56,460
do. So yes, praying in the Holy Spirit is a very powerful prayer.

224
00:16:56,500 --> 00:17:01,780
The Apostle Paul said, I think by God, I speak in tongues more

225
00:17:01,820 --> 00:17:04,140
than you all. That's right.

226
00:17:04,140 --> 00:17:17,220
The Apostle operated in wisdom, revelation, knowledge, you know, he just was a man of prayer. And I just, my I would say a lot of my prayer is praying in tongues. I'll just be honest.

227
00:17:17,460 --> 00:17:29,300
And this morning, I got up, and I've set myself to seek the Lord, just like God is calling many of you who are listening. He's, he's calling you to set yourself to seek him whether you feel anything or not.

228
00:17:29,300 --> 00:17:43,060
So this morning, I got up and I just prayed in tongues for over an hour. I had music on but I just said, rabah, sheketeh, elam. I just was praying in the Holy Ghost, praying and all that. Because what did you pray out? I actually don't know.

229
00:17:44,100 --> 00:17:58,980
What I do know is when you pray in tongues, you're praying the will of God, things come into alignment. He causes your thoughts to be agreeable with his thoughts, then your plan succeed. There's a lot of things that take place in the spirit that we don't know that we don't

230
00:17:58,980 --> 00:18:03,060
understand. But God's the originator of tongues.

231
00:18:03,100 --> 00:18:03,620
Come on.

232
00:18:03,900 --> 00:18:10,380
So special to God, that Jesus spoke of the Holy Spirit. I forget how many times it's I don't have my notes with me. Right.

233
00:18:10,380 --> 00:18:24,100
200 and something times. He talked about the Holy Spirit, or it's in the New Testament 260 times, I think. And what was the very first manifestation that we had when the Holy Spirit was poured out?

234
00:18:24,260 --> 00:18:25,380
Was speaking in tongues.

235
00:18:25,380 --> 00:18:40,380
Yeah, Acts two, one through four, they all beat the Holy Spirit came out manifested. And the very first thing that happened was, and they all began to speak with other tongues of spirit gave them much. So I just want to encourage those of you that are listening stir up the gift of God within you.

236
00:18:40,500 --> 00:18:55,100
You may not understand what you're praying, but pray it out, pray the will of God out. You don't know how to pray for your lost son or daughter or backslidden friend or husband, wife, whatever the case, maybe just lift their name up.

237
00:18:55,100 --> 00:18:59,620
Speak the word of God over them and then pray in the Holy Ghost and God will move.

238
00:18:59,780 --> 00:19:00,420
Absolutely.

239
00:19:02,100 --> 00:19:10,340
The thing that the Lord kind of talked to me about, like, because I was like, why don't people want to pray in tongues? He says, because they can't control it. They can't control it.

240
00:19:10,380 --> 00:19:11,100
Good point.

241
00:19:11,380 --> 00:19:24,700
He's that's what he said. He says they don't trust me. So they won't pray it because they don't know what they're praying and they can't control what they pray. I said, Yeah, well, that's the thing. But if you know, he's a good father, if you know, he's a good pop.

242
00:19:24,700 --> 00:19:37,940
Then we have to trust them. It's like it's like when we go to a friend and we say, Hey, would you pray for me? And the person prays, we can't control what they're going to say. We can't control how they're going to say it. We say, pray for me.

243
00:19:37,940 --> 00:19:44,820
And then all of a sudden, we have to trust and believe that they have our best intentions in their heart. And if they don't, we need to go find a new friend.

244
00:19:44,820 --> 00:19:57,340
But but when we're praying in the Holy Ghost, what we're doing is we're saying Holy Spirit, pray for me, because I don't know what to pray. And so we're trusting him to give us the right utterance so that our prayers get heard.

245
00:19:57,820 --> 00:20:03,700
Yeah, we have the right utterance. I really like that. Personally, I'm happy I'm not in control.

246
00:20:03,700 --> 00:20:24,180
Yeah, who wants that? Right? Well, that's what you that's what you kind of taught me is you said that it's the perfect prayer. You said that when you pray in tongues, it's the perfect prayer, because you're you're praying according to what God is saying and his heart and the desire for the for whatever the circumstances are.

247
00:20:24,180 --> 00:20:52,100
So why do you why even get involved? It's like, Oh, I'll be shock about being the entire night because I don't know what to pray for. Right? Because I mess it up all the time. Right? Right. I just was gonna tell you this before we came on. Remember the necessary truths that Rob helped me to create and you were there for the production. The one video that has the most views is the necessity of speaking in tongues.

248
00:20:52,100 --> 00:21:11,300
It's my favorite. Yeah, I've taught so many teachings. I've had so many teachings on that subject because God keeps showing me more and more and more. And weirdly, I not weirdly, but I may have a sign assignment to write another book on that subject. I know there's other folks out there on the subject, but we all have our spirit of influence.

249
00:21:11,300 --> 00:21:26,300
Oh, yeah. You know, and you just have to stay in your lane. So if God's is giving me an assignment to write another book, and I think that I would take on that assignment, maybe not now, but in the future, the necessity of praying in tongues, I just got the title.

250
00:21:26,300 --> 00:21:55,300
Well, and the thing about it is that if you are an intercessor, if you are called to be an intercessor, and that's the other thing I want you to kind of talk about because one of the things that you do is intercessory prayer. A lot of people don't know what an intercessor is because I didn't know. I didn't know I was an intercessor until somebody told me, oh, you're an intercessor. I had no idea. But the key to being a good intercessor is by praying in the spirit because you can let God work through you.

251
00:21:55,300 --> 00:22:11,300
And you can speak out the plans and the purposes through that intercessory prayer and when it lifts, you can feel it physically lifting off of you. You know your assignment is over instead of sitting there making a checklist. It's so much more efficient.

252
00:22:11,300 --> 00:22:25,300
Right. Right. Well, the actually all of us are called to be an intercessor just that we've been born again. We're all called to be like Jesus and Jesus ever lives to make intercession.

253
00:22:25,300 --> 00:22:54,300
As he is, so are we in this world. So the intercessors on the inside of every single believer, some people just choose like yourself and myself and others that I surround myself with and that like the kind of ministry we have, you know, they just choose to, I like to say it like this sounds super Christian ease, but they choose to pick up the mantle of the power of intercession, the power of prayer.

254
00:22:54,300 --> 00:23:01,300
And they choose to say, I'm not going to just pray for myself or pray for my own needs.

255
00:23:01,300 --> 00:23:23,300
I'm going to, I choose to pray for my city, for my school system for the children that are in the school system, I choose to pray for the nation. I choose it's actually command to pray for those that are in authority Timothy says, so it's a choice of saying, you know what, I choose to pray for

256
00:23:23,300 --> 00:23:27,300
other things, things other than for myself.

257
00:23:27,300 --> 00:23:35,300
Right. And you know the beauty of praying the prayer of intercession which is one of the prayers spoken of in the Word of God.

258
00:23:35,300 --> 00:23:49,300
The beauty of that is when Joe prayed for his friends. Yes, God gave Joe twice as much as before. So there, there's a law that set in motion.

259
00:23:49,300 --> 00:24:01,300
When a person says, I'm going to go to that intercessory prayer meeting on Wednesday night at my church. I'm going to attend the prayer meeting at 9am before the 10am service. There's a blessing that comes with that.

260
00:24:01,300 --> 00:24:11,300
That's right. You're laying down your life. And you're saying, Lord, I'm just going to be a house of prayer flow through me I want to yield myself to you as an intercessor.

261
00:24:11,300 --> 00:24:22,300
There's a blessing to that. That's the blessing is that when you pray, you're activating the highest law of love that there is the love of God.

262
00:24:22,300 --> 00:24:30,300
He said, he said, greater love is no man than this, that a man would lay down his life for his friends.

263
00:24:30,300 --> 00:24:41,300
Jesus came to the earth as an intercessor. He bridged the gap between God and sinful man. Right. He became sin.

264
00:24:41,300 --> 00:24:49,300
When we pray the prayer of intercession, we are activating the law of love.

265
00:24:49,300 --> 00:25:07,300
And if you go into Deuteronomy 28, we see in Deuteronomy 28 that when you operate in the law in the in the in the how does it go, if you will diligently harken or obey all my laws which I command you this day then all these blessings.

266
00:25:07,300 --> 00:25:18,300
So when you operate in the law of love, it's activating the blessings of Deuteronomy 28. So there's a blessing. When you're an intercessor, there's a blessing.

267
00:25:18,300 --> 00:25:29,300
I've noticed like since I've been leading a lot of corporate United Prayer, I've been doing a lot of it. I have a couple of churches that I'm doing with and I'm doing it with love and unity.

268
00:25:29,300 --> 00:25:38,300
I'm doing it now in the Thursday prayer conference calls, I'm noticing like this is incredible. My life is just so blessed.

269
00:25:38,300 --> 00:25:53,300
I just things are just happening. I believe I'm standing with God but there's a there's a there's something about an intercessor something about a person that chooses to lay down their life.

270
00:25:53,300 --> 00:26:01,300
Yes, obey God to the call of intercession. Yes, there's the scripture right there. I had to quote it so I could get it right.

271
00:26:01,300 --> 00:26:21,300
This is the amplify classic. Yeah, if you will diligently, if you will listen diligently to the voice of the Lord your God being watchful to do all his commandments which I command you this day, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth and then the scripture goes on to say if it may be verse two and all these blessings will come upon you.

272
00:26:21,300 --> 00:26:34,300
You know, we're taking right under the New Testament. What's what we're not under the law wonder grace. What's the what are we under, you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart all your soul all your mind and then what's the second commandment.

273
00:26:34,300 --> 00:26:50,300
Love your neighbor as yourself. That's right, because that's the most important thing which is love. So many people think that, um, that it is actually the most important thing is the power and most people think that it's the authority but I truly believe that if you

274
00:26:50,300 --> 00:26:52,300
if you operate in love.

275
00:26:52,300 --> 00:27:07,300
That's what God really that's what he's drawn to because you have a book called the love like that, which is a beautiful. It's a beautiful book about love and it's a beautiful book about the Father's love and how we can be how we can be transformed by that kind of love.

276
00:27:07,300 --> 00:27:09,300
Right.

277
00:27:09,300 --> 00:27:25,300
Right. We can be transformed and understanding the love of God for us. But it's interesting. There was a time in a season last summer that I was listening to a lot of near death experiences.

278
00:27:25,300 --> 00:27:32,300
Oh yeah, yeah, I've had Randy Kay who does a lot of you. I've had Randy Kay on. Yeah, yeah.

279
00:27:32,300 --> 00:27:39,300
Interesting. Yeah, without going into detail how that was triggered.

280
00:27:39,300 --> 00:27:47,300
What and listening to the Christian ones the ones that are God, and sure, got a watch. There's a lot of things out there.

281
00:27:47,300 --> 00:28:07,300
There was a thread through the near death experiences. Number one was how in heaven, the presence that the whole present the presence of heaven. The whole vibration or the atmosphere of heaven is love.

282
00:28:07,300 --> 00:28:21,300
And the question that Jesus or God asked to multiple people before they came back to the earth was did you learn to love Bob Jones, the prophet Bob Jones and others it wasn't just him.

283
00:28:21,300 --> 00:28:23,300
Really. Oh, wow.

284
00:28:23,300 --> 00:28:27,300
Okay, little sign. I have a new one now I don't have it.

285
00:28:27,300 --> 00:28:30,300
I have this little sign in my kitchen.

286
00:28:30,300 --> 00:28:35,300
Did you learn to love. Yep. That's a reminder.

287
00:28:35,300 --> 00:28:52,300
Love you. Thank you so much for tuning in to today's podcast, it has been such a joy sharing this time with you for more inspiration and resources on today's topic, please visit our website at margieflaron.org.
