A Time of Intercession - June 15, 2020

our viewing audience that in december of 2019 the lord gave pastor kim for the church on the rock for us to go on a fast in december we normally at the beginning of the year every january go on a 21-day complete fast and the lord gave you this year for us to go on a spending fast and so for 21 days we went on a spending fast and that included not going out to eat not going to concerts anything that we had to pay for other than necessities not to do it and so some of some of the saints it took more discipline and we learned more discipline in that time of of just not spending not going out not doing a whole lot not knowing that a pandemic would hit our nation and that we would have to do the exact same thing for a season and i'm so grateful to god that he gives us shepherds and pastors after his own heart and we i want you to know that we appreciate you for sitting in the presence of the lord and hearing from god so that you can speak of the word of the lord to to your flock as well as to the nations to share with us what thus saved the lord and there are so many uh at this during this time and season everyone has been home the nation is opening back up and churches are starting to go we're going back to church or we've been having parking lot church amen church on the phone on zoom and different things but i'm so grateful to have a pastor and a shepherd that hears from god that is listening and in tune with the spirit of god to hear what god is saying to his people and i want to encourage those of you god gave you a shepherd for a reason to shepherd you to feed you to nurture you and i want you to be encouraged to hear what god has given to your shepherd and i told the saints a story on yesterday that when i was a young girl we were with my grandmother and we were staying with her and we were going to church with her and my grandfather and one day they were having like a potluck potluck dinner after church and she and i said to her i don't want to eat those people's food i don't know those people and she got my attentions and said hush shut up you eat at mcdonald's all the time and you have no idea who's cooking that food where they're getting it from if they drop it on the floor and still sell it to you but these are people of god that love him that just want to be a blessing and share and you can eat what i cooked and so it's nothing like having a home-cooked meal from clean hands you know where it came from you know so and i say that to say a lot of people are online and they're going from church to church from from vision to vision for going just going listening to everything seeing everything and the con some are confused and don't know what's going on listen to the voice of your shepherd amen i just wanted to share that with the people of god on tonight to hear the voice of the lord through the man or woman of god that he has placed you under amen amen thank you so much tanya for sharing that and i want to just share tanya that even as we were fasting after the spending fast that the lord had given me to do a 10 day fast with just water just fast and pray you know and i kept hearing two words and i remember sharing them with you because i didn't understand what i was hearing i just kept hearing an ominous cloud ominous cloud and i believe that god was revealing or just showing even of some of what would happen with the pandemic even though we didn't understand it but i just praise god for revealing things and you know that's why we continue to seek him in prayer because we don't we know in part and we see in part but that's why we ask god to reveal himself he is jehovah yes he is and jehovah means the god that reveals himself unto us well i want to share a really quick verse tonight uh tanya out of the book of luke chapter 22 and verse 31 this is the writer the beloved physician luke of course the writer of the book of acts and the book of luke but the bible says and the lord said simon simon he said behold satan have desire to have you that he may sift you as wheat but i have prayed for thee that thy faith fail not and when thou art converted to strengthen thy brethren and i just want to share tanya as we hear this verse of scripture that we can see that jesus was allowing peter to know listen i've already prayed for you and the the enemy desires to have you he's asking to have you that he may sift you as weak but i've already prayed for you and i just love this verse of scripture because it gives us this consolation that jesus prayed for peter he prayed for he let him know that i've already prayed for you i've already covered you tanya share with us what your thoughts are about the faith of god that jesus was talking to simon about well you know pastor i always think about peter and when you hear people talk about peter say that he was rebellious or he was the one that cut off the ear of malcus yes and uh he was the one that cursed and denied the lord three times but god is so faithful that although he did all those things and we all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of god but god said to peter upon this rock i build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it and so no matter the test the trial the the things that that paul peter i'm sorry went through and even denying the lord and said he didn't i don't know and and some of you out there have possibly denied the lord denied your faith but i want to tell the saints that satan is after our faith our faith in god and i want to encourage you the bible says faith is a substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen and so we're hoping for things even during this time of injustice and we've seen injustice and things going on in our nations in the nations of the world and you hear people say oh things not going to change it's not going to get better the devil is alive we believe god that we're going to stand in faith and trust god to move on our behalf and walk in faith and not even by sight but trust in the lord with all of our heart and even knowing that the jesus prayed the prayer for peter i prayed i've already prayed that your faith your belief system your trust your confidence that your hope does not fail and so i want to encourage the body of christ and those that are viewing the telecast tonight to walk in faith stand in faith believe on the lord your god so many people um one of my brothers told me yesterday i haven't been to church in three months praise the lord [Laughter] but he was in the service of the lord on yesterday and was just blessed by being with the saints you know and sometimes just even being away from church being away from fellowship yes you have a relationship with god but some of us have gotten distracted i'm doing other things and just gotten i told the lord lord forgive me my doctor called me one day and said how are you feeling today i said i feel a little lazy because i've been laying around and not doing a whole lot because i can't go nowhere and so i the lord just imprompted me get back on your knees seek the face of the lord get in your word call somebody and tell them that jesus love them pray with somebody and so i just want to encourage the saints to let your faith be built up and some of you have lost your faith i want you to to tell the lord and pray the prayer in the scripture it says lord increase my faith help my unbelief don't lose your faith satan comes but to rob to steal and destroy he wants to rob you of your faith so i want to encourage you to believe on the lord god and you shall be established in jesus name jesus name tanya you are such a blessing i'm certainly enjoying every word that you're sharing and as you're talking about faith and talking about the word of god i thought about daniel and how it was the enemy wanted his words he wanted his words the bible teaches us that the power of life and death is in our tongue and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof according to the book of proverbs so tanya tell us why why does the enemy attack the faith of the saints of god why because the scripture says without faith it's impossible to please god that's right and our our hope our lives are built on our faith in god and our walk with the lord so the enemy hates us and he doesn't want us to believe god i remember and i've told this story before one of a sister in the lord told me one day sister tanya i raised my children in church but recently my son came to me and said i don't believe in god anymore and so we begin to pray and ask god to touch his heart and turn his heart back toward god but it a lot of what he was feeling and thinking was coming through conversation and things he had heard from his professors in college and different things and so we believe in god that god would turn his heart back toward him because we know that if you do you train your child up in the way that they should go the word says that they won't depart from it because that word is still down in him he is going to come alive in times of trouble in times of need the word of god comes back alive so we know that satan wants to steal the faith of the believer and so many people say well why is the lord letting this happen why is the lord letting this happen and then you hear the scripture if my people which are called by my name would humble themselves and pray and seek my face turn from their wicked ways then i'll hear from heaven i'll heal their land you've got some people praying you've got some people turning from their wicked ways but so many aren't i was thinking about even some of the riots and things that were going on i know that the uh our our nation and so many are angry and walking around and upset and disappointed and hurt because of the racism in our nation at this time but we can't become wicked like the wicked that we're coming again that's right and so we have to turn from our wicked ways and and pray and humble ourselves so that god can heal our land amen amen you know tanya you just spoke about um what's happening in our world with the systemic racism and we understand that there are laws and there are institutions and practices that are built into this process so it's going to take it's going to take changes but it's also going to take prayer to break some of the strongholds you see one of our assignments as believers is to pull down strongholds principality we don't wrestle with flesh and blood so our assignment as believers is to go into the spirit realm and to tear down every stronghold every power that's operating and influencing the strongholds of the enemy and so we're tonight we are going to go into prayer and we're going to stand in the gap and i want to share this i want you to call right now those of you that are watching the telecast you can dial 708 503 1140 right now to receive prayer but tanya i want to talk about something that's happening in our world today and that is if you look at the wall street journal and look at some of the newspapers they're sharing that there is an impending crisis concerning housing and that there are some people that weren't able to pay their rent and they weren't able to pay their mortgages and there has been a grace period because of the covet 19 because of of the virus that has happened and there are some people that are facing the end of that grace period and some are facing even evictions and uh the possible loss of homes tanya what would you say to those that just need prayer in that area regarding this real crisis that we're facing at this present time well i want to encourage them we've been there oh yes and there was no crisis in the nation it was just the family was going through amen and was evicted out on the street but god made a way he provided he came in just in the nick of time there's a song that says he came just in the nick of time and so i want you to be encouraged and to be built up in your most holy faith and do the right thing and do what those needful things in the natural first natural then spiritual you know ask for more time you know do what you communicate with your mortgage lenders and and things of that nature and and you know seek the lord and ask god to order your steps and direct you where to go when to go what time to go you know god is he'll lead and guide you he said if you acknowledge me in all of your ways then i will direct your path but god is able to do exceeding and abundant above that what we ask or think and we know that he's able to provide for you to make ways out of no way god is who he say that he is and his word is true his word is right but if you walk in fear and not in faith you cancel out faith which takes away the grace of god in that area because you're walking you're giving place to the enemy but god is faithful and he's just to deliver you yes he is you know tanya you just made reference to something that we went through years ago and i want to share with our viewing audience that we were renting a home from a couple and the couple actually went through a divorce and the home that we were staying in became part of the property for this particular divorce that they were going through and we got a 30-day notice and we were told to lead the premises and i tell you that was such a quick a short amount of time to have to leave out of a property but even so we went through we were trying our best all of us were working do you remember well praise the lord let me rephrase that for just a quick moment about teenagers you tonya was a teenager the rest of us were working but tanya was not at that particular time but the lord made a way and he brought us out when we share on this telecast to build your faith and to lift your heart we're not talking from a position of something that we just read about in the scripture but we've seen god's word i've seen them work and i've seen god work miracles and give favor and i speak it even right now to someone that's watching and is not sure exactly which way to go and it seems like your back is up against the wall and you're not certain of how you're going to make ends meet i want to encourage you tonight to trust god trust him hold fast to the word of god stand firm on his word believe him trust him and know that he's able to bring you through and i praise god for our mother amen who had this incredible faith that even as we were being evicted our mother was on the phone praying for somebody and she said the lord said for me to do his work and he'll take care of mine and god sent help to us when we needed it just in the nick of time i mean i trust god i've seen him without any doubt i believe he can do anything but fail and i trust tonight that if you're standing in a position where you need god to move on your behalf listen lift your faith lift your heart trust him and know that he's able to deliver if you're sick in your body and you need the lord to heal you i want to tell you we have another testimony about our sister denise amen who has become have been ill with asthma for so many different times tanya will you share one of the instances that you remember where denise was so sick and god raised her up through prayer praise the lord i remember um this was a while ago i think i stayed home from school this particular day and denise was had gotten very ill and my mother was she had gotten to the point where she had crawled out of the bed and was crawling to my mother's room and she got to my mom's room and we saw her and mom began just to pray and call on the name of jesus and apply the blood of jesus there is power in jesus name there is power in the blood amen if you call on him he'll answer you and he'll do it right early and i remember we called the paramedics and they came and i remember that day that was one of the times that denise actually flatlined right there in front of us and we were calling on the name of the lord and the paramedic was saying pray mother pray pray mother pray and i tell you god restored her life back in that room that day and healed her from that day to this one amen and she's gone through some other tests and trials but god healed her of asthma amen so god is a healer so whatever you're facing whatever you're going through what even in your body we we trust god to heal you to touch you for the anointing of god to come in that room where you are right now for those of you that have loved ones that are sick and going through i encourage you to get the oil and lay hands on them like the elders do amen like the bible says lay hands on the sick and see them recover for after that the holy ghost has come upon you god said he's given us power amen and you have power and authority to speak to that illness speak to that sickness and command it to dry up command it to go in the name of jesus we don't do anything in our own name in our own power in our own strength but it comes through the matchless and the powerful name of jesus christ the son of the living god hallelujah are such a blessing tonight the anointing is flowing through you and while you were talking about the holy ghost i thought about the description of the holy ghost him being our paraclete he is our helper amen he goes alongside us i just love the fact that we have been given power we've been endued with power and the scripture says in the book of luke chapter 4 that the spirit of the lord is upon me for you have anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor set at liberty those that are bruised to preach healing to the brokenhearted and i just want to say to those of you watching tonight that i believe that while this telecast is on if you're brokenhearted if you're poor in spirit if you need deliverance from deep hurt from from the spirits of depression because of what's going on in the world i want you to lift your faith and we're going to pray and trust god and i want to just share one more thing tanya before we pray um just not too long ago we were looking at some of the things that happened with george floyd on the television and watching him die and watching um the the protesters all around the nation and you know just the unrest and the hurt and the devastation and i tell you uh someone said you know why are you all praying you know it was kind of like what you all have been praying for 400 years but the truth of the matter is prayer works in concert with what god is doing also behind the scenes prayer is access to god and i believe that also while we're protesting yes we have been in our peaceful protest amen we've been there last week amen able to protest and stand with our governor stand with pastors stand with leaders and say that you know every injustice with with all of the racial the systemic racism is not right amen but in addition to standing and protesting and fighting we also believe in the power of prayer i believe that if god will he raises up a nation of people to stand in the gap and to intercede and so we're still praying and we're believing god i believe that god even through history even as we look at the life of martin luther king our drum major of justice he prays yes there is a history of prayer connected to these moves and so we want to encourage you and say that we're not just sitting around doing nothing but we're praying and we're trusting god and we know that he is going to bring us through so we've covered several things tonight tanya but i want to ask you to prepare to pray and let us know what the what area that you're going to be praying in hallelujah on tonight praise the lord well pastor you know when you first read the scripture you said jesus told peter i prayed that your faith failed you're not and the enemy comes it has come to sift you as wheat and and i just want to pray for the for those that the enemy seems to be sifting them of their strength of their faith in the name of the lord so that's how we're going to pray amen father in jesus name we thank you and praise you for your goodness for your grace for your mercy lord jesus you're sitting at the right hand of the father making intercession for us your word says with moanings and groanings that cannot be uttered yes father we stand in submission to you yes we humble ourselves under your mighty hand thank you and god i ask you tonight to look on those that are viewing the telecast father ask that you would touch their hearts their minds their souls god those that are weak in their faith those that have lost faith that have lost heart god asks that you would restore them tonight in the mighty name of jesus god quicken them by your power and let them know that you're real that your word is true that your word will not go out void but it'll accomplish that where you send it and father tonight we send your word of healing we send your word of deliverance we send the word of hope in the mighty name of jesus christ god resurrect the faith of every believer in the mighty name of jesus calls them to rise in faith to stand on your word father you said before your word would pass away heaven and
