this has been heavy on my heart these past few days brother rick thank you i'm honored and i thank god for you um last night my daughter and i were reading some scriptures and i told her to turn to psalms 108. and the first thing that she said was oh god my heart is fixed and it was just that that there's more to this scripture to verse one but it made me stop and think about all the blessings and how blessed we truly are and in the decree it says i am blessed going in and i am blessed going out so i might not be the richest woman in the world but that's okay i don't care about all that my heart is fixed and i will sing and give praises even and i thank god even with my glory and on psalms 103 i read this morning and it just spoke to me bless the lord o my soul and all that is within me bless his holy name bless the lord o my soul and forget not all his benefits so everything that i've been through speaking to myself that's okay because he's got me we've all been through a lot but we are all blessed we are we have air to breathe and i thank god every day i look back and i was reading in numbers like how the israelites the the complaining and the more you know just what they were doing like oh god help me fix myself because my attitude sometimes is not always right and last week i was complaining about some things and i felt this little check and i thank god and and i thank god he showed me these scriptures so even though we're going through a hot mess is what i call it sometimes we must always give him praise and thanks even through it all so i thank god for each and every one of my friends and i thank god mostly for him and i thank god every day you know he is such a blessing to me and my family so sister heather i'm ready to say this decree [Music] thou shalt

tonight [Music] [Music] praise god praise god what a wonderful spirit of god is in the house tonight i bless each of you would you lift your hands to the lord and thank him for the privilege of gathering together on a wednesday night amen in this small group setting if you will amen i know it's not all of us but it's enough of us i said i know it's not all of us but it is enough of us hallelujah two or three are gathered in my name there i am in the midst of them hallelujah jesus name let the will of god be done hallelujah what a joy amen what a privilege it is to gather together with you and i want you to turn before you're seated and communicate faith just tell somebody i feel god in the house tonight if that is a true statement i feel god in the house tonight you may be seated thank you for standing amen amen i'm gonna just launch into what i feel the lord has been dealing with me about amen i bless the people of god i know that we are living in uncertain times but we serve a certain god can somebody say amen we are living in unsettled times but we serve a settled god god is not getting a migraine about what's going on he is not he's not worried his palms are not sweating amen anybody ever had a moment where you got nervous and your palms started sweating god doesn't know what that feels like because he is god and on this wednesday night september the 1st if i say it's september the 1st some of you are pretty happy about today because you get paid on the first can somebody say amen praise god i want to preach to you and teach a little bit about the first thing you should do when life happens what's the first thing you should do when life happens good or bad somebody shouted out my lord y'all been listening to my prayer meetings i want to teach tonight on this subject and preach i'm we just may break out into a hole we're going to break out in the holy ghost prayer meeting but this is the subject first of all everybody say first of all pray somebody shout pray it is in first timothy two verse one that paul tells timothy first of all then i urge that supplication prayers intercessions and thanksgivings be made for all people no be made for only the people i like be made for only the people that are on my side no for all people for kings and all who are in high positions that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life godly and dignified in every way this is good and it is pleasing in the sight of god our savior who desires all people to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth what is good not just to lead a quiet and a peaceful life but first of all prayer is good in the sight of god and here's what you've got to understand if anything the devil wants to do to rob us of it is of our prayer life the devil wants to strip prayer from our voices and i'm telling somebody i refuse to let that happen in my life why because prayer makes a difference can somebody say man if prayer has ever made a difference in your life [Applause] prayer makes a difference so first of all first if i say first before all before you go to the internet pray before you go to facebook pray before you go and call a friend pray before you call 9-1-1 pray or somebody ought to call 9-1-1 somebody ought to pray while you dial 9-1-1 don't give me this we need a doctor no we need jesus first and foremost i feel a righteous indignation stir up in me right there i don't know where they come from maybe it's god who gets jealous when you put so much faith in a doctor and so little faith in dr jesus and god says when's the last time you prayed and meet and watch me work a miracle whoa sometimes as a preacher i don't know where that comes from jesus amen you're doing something before you go to the hospital i remember stories amen i remember stories that god make them reality where people would say my son my daughter my my this some some family member had a horrible accident and before we went to the hospital we came and laid them on the altar they did what them idiots god healed them not too crazy after god raises them up i'm going to tell you what can i remind this great church the hands of a doctor are vastly limited the hands of god are unlimited and no no boundaries if you'll put your family in the hands of god i'm not downplaying the medical field i'm simply trumping every avenue of our life and saying god wants to say you know my heartbeat we're not into throwing mud but i'm telling you i feel in the holy ghost that god wants us to remember we are a praying church and that's what we got to get back to if i say first in front of all in front of all you do in front of your calendar in front of your other priorities first in spite of all in spite of all that's happened in spite of what is currently happening in spite of what she said and he said and they said i say pray in the name of jesus i exhort you to pray i urge you first of all i urge you the king james version says i exhort it means to call somebody near with the intention of alerting them to something that will help them hey parkway i exhort you i call you near with a desire to tell you about something that will help you and not hurt you and that is prayer and i feel the holy ghost i'm telling you if i've ever felt god in me right now like a fire to preach to this great congregation god is jealous of our voice lifted in prayer he's jealous of somebody not lifting your voice to pray the first thing you need to do when an xyz thing happens is you need to tell god about it whether it's good or whether it's bad tell god about it we are all all of us are guilty in the good times of telling facebook about it in the good times we're going to tell facebook because we want somebody to glory with us in an awesome moment i'm not opposed to that necessarily but we're all guilty in bad times of airing our concerns and our cares to people who can do zero about our problem you talking about an effort in futility tell a friend who's not god and you just accomplished zero but if you'll take your cares to god i'm telling you god has all power he has all glory he has all provisions to help you do something about it when you don't know what to do pray when you don't know what to do pray i'm not a picture perfection but like paul said brethren i do not count myself to have apprehended but this one thing i do i'm trying to apprehend that which has caught me and i'm i'm striving i'm saying god i want you to make me a prayer amen that preaches not a preacher that prays the emphasis is on what do i do what do you do i'm a prayer well no like what do you do well i pray well like what do you do for a job well by the grace of god i get to preach and lead people but my first and primary calling is i'm a prayer i am a prayer would you lift your hands and say god make me a prayer god make me a prayer who has a job not a guy with a job who sometimes prays i want prayer to be our primary focus hallelujah when the spirit of prayer and this is what i've been praying personally i have been praying god give to me the spirit of prayer literally god help me to know what it means when jesus said without me you can do nothing well i'm gonna go get some water not without praying you not well i'm gonna go to the refrigerator not without god you're not well i'm gonna go do this oh no you're not oh god us to a revelation that without god we cannot do one single solitary thing god literally bring this people and myself first and foremost to the revelation that without jesus christ we can do no thing when the spirit of prayer comes over your prayer will not be an obligation and i know what that feeling feels like oh i got to go pray well i got to pray lord god i praise you god i thank you jesus god lead only 20 seconds lord i give seconds it's gonna be a long time i know what that feels like but then i know what whenever i come into the presence of god by the grace of god not because of some kind of elitist god forbid we're all walking through this life we're all getting slapped around by the cares of life but i walk in and i say god i need you and i begin to pour my heart out to god and the tears begin to flow and an hour and 20 minutes later i look up and go my goodness where'd the time go and i say i'm in the presence of the lord in the presence of the lord there is fullness of joy and at his right hand there are pleasures forever more would somebody thank god amen that god grants us the privilege to live in his presence amen when prayer prevails in your life problems diminish when prayer is preeminent in your life self and prestige are traded for humility when prayer is the greater part of who you are the lesser part of you will live happier than you can imagine i'm going to say that again that just sounds good when prayer is the greater part of who we are the lesser part of who we are will live happier than we can imagine but when we seek to prevail in our will my will i want this amen i'm striving for that rather than saying god i give you everything that i am i give you even the desires that i desire and if they're not right change them in jesus name everybody say first of all prayer amen not well you know we need to pray well that should have been our first response in the midst of any kind of crisis if somebody gives a praise report amen you need to pray i'm not talking about having a 15-minute prayer meeting amen but you need to acknowledge god that's what prayer is prayer is acknowledging god verbally out loud hallelujah saying god i give you praise that you did something for my brother and if you did it for them you'll do it for me i give you praise that you are able to do it and then when when trouble strikes when trouble comes you open your mouth and verbally acknowledge oh god i trust you to help us i trust you to get us out of this i trust your name jehovah has become our salvation i trust you to deliver us god i trust you to somehow see us through hallelujah when we feel sufficient we pray with the spirit of i want to be a blessing to someone else when we are feeling insufficient and we feel need we pray prayers of thanksgiving god thank you for the times i have had sufficient gasoline and thank you for the times i've had sufficient food on the table and thank you for the times you have filled my bank account with enough money oh god to meet the needs that were coming to me i thank you for the sufficiency of god would somebody remember the time god did provide and give god thanks for the times he did make a way where there seemed to be no way i feel the holy ghost right now i give god praise would you give him praise with me we need prayer to be our first response to all if i say all of life good or bad when we're up we pray when we're down we pray when it's good when everything is just perfect pray when it's not perfect pray because i'm telling you god is the only one who can receive adequate glory for your situation when it's good or god is the only one who can give you adequate deliverance when it's bad people who constantly pray are constantly connected to the power of god the person of god and the provision of god and i don't know about you but ain't nothing in fact all of you demonstrated a fear over lack of power to some degree when approaching cat 4 storm was coming how many of you went to go get gas in a truck or you made sure there was gas for a generator or you made sure that the freezers were shut tight all of us demonstrated our fear to not have power all of us did my god daddy called me you got enough gas yes i got a full tank of gas i went got two more amen tanks of propane so we can grill till the world ain't level amen if something happens praise god all of us had that something's coming that's bigger than i am will i stay connected to power ladies and gentlemen i've got an fyi if you keep living something's coming in me that's bigger than you and you've got to have a connection to the power of god and you get it when you pray i said you get it when you pray come on somebody we've got to say prayer is my first response amen the power of god the person of god the provision i could preach all of those amen but here's the key just stay connected to prayer i pray because i do know god i pray because i want to know god i don't know all of god i want to know him so i pray i pray because of what god has done i pray because of what god is doing i pray in anticipation of what he's going to do i pray because there's nothing he cannot do i pray because all he's already done for me and he did it just for me if i was the only person if you was the only person in need of redemption christ would have died for your salvation ladies and gentlemen i pray from a position that says it's already provided if i'll just ask him the bible talks about before we call god we'll answer the neatest little illustration that i read about a young girl over in happened to be over seas somewhere in a third world country and there were sick patients and they needed a hot water bottle and and it was just a real dire situation for this this ba it was a premature little baby the mama had died giving birth and so the the ladies were heard overheard to be saying our hot water bottle that we used as a heating element uh definitely primitive but it was their way at the time it's burst we need a new hot water bottle and there was a little sister to this premature baby so there was a young girl who had heard these older people talking and yet she had seen the power of prayer example so she said god we need a hot water bottle today because tomorrow's going to be too late and god her little sister is going to be lonely she needs a baby doll and later that afternoon the story's told that a package comes from the u.s and they open it up and there in the top of the package is one of those rubberized hot water bottles and the girl said i knew it i knew god would answer and she said if there's a hot water bottle there's a baby doll they dug down sure enough five months earlier a group of ladies from the u.s had packed up a package before the prayer was ever given god moved on somebody to be an answer but you got to pray i said you got to pray if my people will pray whoa would you lift your hands to god would you give god prayer oh oh i need you god if we neglect prayer we neglect power if we neglect prayer we neglect the ability to perceive god at work if we neglect prayer we reject god's great ability in our lives prayer is that equalizer that brings the problem down to size and brings us up to the task at hand i said i feel the holy ghost that ain't in my notes but prayer is that great equalizer that shrinks the mountain down to a molehill and shrinks us feeling like grasshoppers into capable people who say i can do all things through christ who strengthens me would you give god praise right now would you magnify him for there is nothing [Applause] early african converts to christianity were earnest and regular in private devotions each one reportedly had a separate spot in the thicket of the jungle where he would pour out his heart to god over time the paths to these places became well worn how many of you know if you leave something in the yard or you walk a certain path cows in a pasture they will wear down a spot where you know that's a path for somebody well over time the paths became well worn as a result if one of the believers began to neglect prayer it was soon apparent to the others and they would kindly remind the negligent brother brother the grass grows on your path i'm looking at some of you precious people and telling you the grass ain't only growing on your path it's about to overtake you it's not just growing on your path amen can i tell you people that backslide and lose out with god the first place they lose is their way to a prayer room they can't find their way to a prayer room and when you lose your connection to prayer you have zero to keep you connected to god hear the appeal of this man of god right now i'm preaching to precious people to remind you prayer does not need proof it needs practice and if we'll practice prayer we'll see the power of god it will destroy our adversaries it'll move mountains it'll cause the problems to diminish i'm remembering you'll just have to trust me on this one i'm remembering a story talking about god moves mountains it was when i went to dc with on a kufi something with christians united for israel one of the pastors god you'll have to bring it back to my memory but sitting in the hotel lobby he was telling me about the power of god to literally move mountains he said the church had purchased some property but on that property there was this prominent heel and it really encumbered them they needed the heel to be gone because they wanted to build and he said i just told the church church we need to pray god said if you'll say to this mountain be thou removed and cast into the sea this was in virginia where'd this happen i'm about to call brother jack cunningham to try to search and track this story down but he said we begin to pray he said one day out of the blue i got a call from the one of the joint military chiefs or one of the high ups said we need your property he said how could you need my property he said we're testing a missile and we need a heel to explode it into and we'd like to use your heel and we'd like to obliterate that hill he said sir he said i'm standing at attention right now i'm saluting this command would you please obliterate our heel and so they got the coordinates hit the button and a missile flew into that hill and not only that they said we'll clean up the debris we'll move it all out come on somebody god can answer prayer if you will just pray well our god is able would you lift your hands to god and give god praise right now would you love god if we say to this mountain be thou removed and cast into the sea and do not doubt in our heart it shall be done i say to the mountain be thou removed i say to the mountain of unbelief be thou removed i say to every obstacle be thou removed in the name of jesus would you lift your voice in prayer right now would you lift your voice in earnest right now surely the presence of the lord is in this house what the church needs today more than anything is not more machinery or better or newer organizations or more novel methods but men whom the holy ghost can use men of prayer men and women mighty in prayer i'm going to just talk to you and i know i'm talking to you from my heart but here's what god's been dealing with me about tonight especially how many of you know that god called me to preach not to sing brother corn well i love haber the cornwall he said i get a lot of requests but i sing anyhow i did a lot of requests not to but i sing anyhow amen you know what god was dealing with bouts on some nights we are we are blessed how many know we're blessed here parkway with our music we're blessed but on some nights because i had somebody it was a long time back they pointed out you know so and so they sent me the clip and they said so-and-so hit a bad note i you know i didn't hear the bad note because what i was focused on was here's a precious saint of god amen singing their heart out isn't that just awesome i didn't hear how they were off beat my the compassion in me was like man that's beautiful yeah it may not be to tone or pitch but praise god sing it anyhow can i tell somebody where we need production and perfection at is not on this platform it's in that prayer room right back there if you're looking for for perfection and production help me find it in the prayer room not the platform you help me get in that prayer room and turn the engines of prayer apart you help me get there and help me pray and god will eclipse every mistake made on this platform because i'm going to tell you production and perfection are powerless but prayer is powerful when we get people who are le and here's the thing i love i love the the effort i thank god i applaud the singers and musicians but when people come to church their life torn to shreds by the devil is really not going to be totally transformed i'm not discounting music or what happens here it's really not going to be transformed by this on here it's going to be transformed by the prayers of the saints who have brought god close they're going to be transformed through the preaching of the word of god i'm not trying to minimize or or maximize i'm simply telling you you can't come in with an entertainment mindset oh they missed it there and they were off key here if you just pray god will eclipse the performance and he'll bring about a deliverance come on somebody would you lift your voice would you magnify the power of prayer that will deliver souls oh god i feel the holy ghost here today when jesus i'm almost done sat at meat in the house of lazarus mary was found sitting at his feet she was in the presence of the one who mattered most martha was in the kitchen and came in complaining that mary's not helping me cook the food and you know what jesus said hey listen to this he said mary has chosen the good part the lord now listen martha implied that mary's not pulling her weight in this situation but the lord equated it with a good and a bad in other words mary has chosen not the bad but the good and it will not be taken from her listen this is what god dealt with me about if there was a problem it was not mary helping it was martha thinking that jesus wanted her to produce something from the kitchen and i can see jesus now i know most every man here and i'd wrap myself into it we expect something to come out of the kitchen because it tastes good but on this day jesus said i'm not looking for your hands to produce something martha i'm looking for you to sit at my feet because i'm gonna produce something inside of you you don't have to produce something for me i'm gonna do something for you so here it is we do not need to become production oriented of producing can i tell you with great kindness and compassion there are dime a dozen churches who may they produce a great program i mean it's good it's the lights i mean they're not off beat they practice they hire their musicians they pay them good money they better not be off beat they got good money coming to them bless god they ought to practice amen so they got all this going and people come in boy yes sir man this is jiving and jamming and they leave out and the sin that is sending their soul to hell is still not extracted from them i'm not trying to say we should lessen amen on practice i'm not trying to discount but i'm trying to i'm trying to emphasize prayer i'm trying to emphasize what people want when they come in listen when people walk into a hospital and they got a gunshot wound they're not going to come in critical my god look at this place they ought to clean this place better when they come in they're sick and they got some kind of cancer eating them up they're not coming in with some critical eye i can't believe the administration of this hospital excuse me i'm coughing up some blood i can't believe they let this place go like this no they're looking at a doctor saying you've got to help me live and not die so when people walk in this church they're not looking to be critical amen unless we help them be critical by focusing on production but if we focus on deliverance through prayer then they're gonna say my god help me get out of my dilemma would somebody lift your hands right now would somebody magnify jesus come on somebody would you lift your voice right now [Applause] the greatest the greatest cry of our day is is there any power that still comes from god and we know where power comes from and we know how to get a hold of it but there are people in this state there they are blind they don't understand the power of the holy ghost they don't understand the power amen of deliverance that comes from god through the waters of baptism this is why the devil hates this church i'm telling you this is why the devil hates his church because this is a truth preaching church now what does that mean and i know we've gotten some feedback well how do you know you got the truth let me just tell you this according to the book of acts we follow the pattern of the new testament church regarding salvation we may not be perfect but we are built upon the foundation of the apostles and the prophets jesus christ himself being the chief cornerstone and when you get those elements right god's presence is going to show up i'm not saying god doesn't show up in other places but he's limited by carnal flesh and that's what we're battling is the fleshly nature that hates the move of god but i can tell you right now your flesh won't be comfortable because we're gonna have a move of god and we're gonna preach against sin and we're gonna have people praying until deliverance shows up would you lift your voice would you lift your heart to god right now in the name of jesus the passion of this preacher tonight is prayer has got to literally consume us why did jesus braid a whip whited sweet kind compassionate loving jesus braid a whip bow and literally drive and kick tables over and get mad because the purpose of his house had been transformed into production how many dollars can we produce and there are churches who literally have a church because they say and it's literally production based on people coming in they may not admit it and i'm not i know that's a broad brush there but here's what we're about whether people give or not we're going to pray whether they drop a penny that is up to them and god you don't give to men you give to god what we're saying is people need deliverance the souls of men need deliverance and there are 70 chairs in the prayer room and i'm asking god fill every one of them before every service there's 70 at least 70 chairs tonight thank god for 30 people and i know life happens i know sometimes you can't tear away and i know sometimes the wheels run off right before church but i pray to god that doesn't happen every time that do you get ready to go to god's house that sometime you can make it early enough to pray to get in that prayer room why because your prayer matters here's and i'm almost done but here's what someone preached here recently brother mark brown preached this at youth camp he said by deduction he said we communicate verbally 80 he said so when we pray to god about the littlest things we're telling god we believe the littlest things matter to him but when we do not pray about everything we're telling god some things matter but i can handle most things so listen you you're on standby till my muscles are exhausted you just kind of occupy twitter your thumbs till i need your savior and then you can be superman and god says i'm jealous i'm jealous of that i want you to come to me about everything and i'm preaching not from a position of perfection but i'm pursuing after that i might attain to this level where everything is praying everything is going to be addressed through prayer our adversary as a roaring lion he's going about seeking whom he may devour who's he going to get first those who have literally dropped their shield and have laid aside their weapons of warfare what are our weapons of warfare prayer and intercession and thanksgiving to god so what are we going to do we're going to amen well things are good that's great pray things are bad that's okay pray and watch god turn your situation around would you lift your hands to the only one who can do anything about anything and would you tell him i need you jesus i need you jesus i've got to have you lord god more than anything in this world oh god i don't want to put my reliance on anything but jesus christ and god thank you for showing me the days that i have tried to steer my allegiance and my trust into another source of hope and you bring me back to i can only trust in jesus christ would you lift your voice to god i'm done would you lift your voice to god right now god's going to bring deliverance but we've got to lift our voice we've got to lift our voice to god in the name of jesus in the name of jesus in the name of jesus in the name of jesus sometimes when you don't know what to say just say in the name of jesus in the name of jesus i plead the blood in the name of jesus i plead the blood mama you need to know how to plead the blood over your baby you need to know how to pray through your house dad i'm asking you that your floors be well acquainted with your footsteps at night walking through the living room and touching the walls of your house in the furniture saying god soaked my house god soaked my living room god soaked your lord god my property with the holy ghost our children need to know what it's like to hear mom and dad praying our children need to know what it's like to hear our voices saying i trust in the lord i'm turning this place into a prayer meeting right now would you yield to god as you desire amen i'm not trying to judge your desire but you determine that desire you determine that level of of dependence upon god we've had enough singing we've had enough playing to save the world but what we need more of is prayer what we need more of his intercession amen what we need more of is people to cry out to god and say oh god deliver me god oh god set me free god oh god move in my life jesus save the backslider oh god save the backslider in madison county oh god save our backslidden children jesus i pray god don't let us trust in money some trust in chariots some trust in horses but we will trust in the name of the lord our god would you lift your voice to god would you lift your voice to god oh god make this a house of prayer oh god stir us god thank you for the things that make us pray thank you god for the trials you let come to our life that makes us pray thank you god for the things that stirs us up god thank you god for the things o god that are problematic thank you god for things that cause us to realize this world is not my home i am just passing through my treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blue the angels beckoned me from heaven's open door and i cannot feel at home in this world anymore would you lift your voice to god would you lift your heart to god right now oh god save marriages in this building oh god save husbands and wives in this building make us a people of prayer transform us literally oh god transform us metabolically transform us god financially transform us physically

in the holy ghost when you go to the house you do the same thing you stand in your house you lift your hands this is what i do and i say i take dominion over this home by the grace and the authority of god i bind and cast out every spirit of hell i walk through my living room i lay hands on the walls i pray for the ground and the dirt to be soaked and saturated with the holy ghost i pray for angels to line the perimeter of my house i pray for god to extract the bowels of any demon who would try to come on my property i'm talking about bolum and acid in jesus name i pray why how do you do that i'm praying in the holy ghost i'm taking dominion so i'm looking at men right now and i'm telling you the women of our church do not need to be the greater prayer warriors it ought to be the men because we have the authority and we have the fire to do so so when it comes time to pray it should not be the man well come on ladies y'all get up and intercede no it should be the men hey look if something were to happen and an intruder physical intruder i'm telling you some of you as i talk about it you begin to think yeah i do this to him i do that i'd hit him i i get some of you know what you're thinking right now well in the holy ghost you've got to be bold as a lion and take that same aggression to say this is my house and th this is my family and i'm going to protect my family and i'm going to pray over them and i'm going to bind every demon of hell and i'm going to loose the angels of god i'm not meaning to preach after i preach but what i'm telling you you cannot be passive well the devil how that devil just no you're letting him do that you're letting the devil come in you've got to stand up say no not on my watch devil you're not about to disturb the peace of my house there have been moments there have been moments and i'm done i've walked to a room and i feel this cold shield like a devil literally had his toe on the foundation like i'm not in the house but i got my toe cause i'm gonna get in this i got a toe hold and i'd start to pray and i don't listen don't turn no lights on you pray in the dark why because god started in the dark and took dominion in the dark he said let there be light don't turn light on you say devil in the dark i bind you in the name of jesus and i cast you in the outer dark i'm telling you it works it works when you open your mouth and take authority in jesus name would you lift your hands god thank you for helping us thank you for showing us the way in which we should go thank you god for making us a people of prayer thank you dear lord god for letting prayer be our only recourse our only focus we're going to pray we're going to pray in jesus name i give you praise i love you hallelujah you know i've said it before but my intent every time i step behind this pulpit is not to preach out of the heat of my human spirit it's not to preach some point because i'm upset or mad but if i get upset like in that first part it was like god said i'm jealous that my people have too many other alternate options other than first of all pray god said i'm jealous that people reach for the wrong resource that can really and it's so limited in its ability but if they would pray i would show up so again i bless you would you just again lift chance god thank you for the people of god thank you dear lord for helping us tonight i bless the precious people of god god give them a full night's sleep god give them peace in their mind god give them provision in their finances i give you praise for what you're doing and we honor you in the name of jesus would you clap your hands love one another and you're dismissed in the fear of the lord god bless you tonight amen [Music] i was lost [Music] i'm so glad he changed me darkness held me down but jesus pulled me i'm so glad he changed [Music]
