Dr Wanda Davis-Turner at Greater Open Door COGIC

god we need you we appreciate you we love you we thank you for everything you've provided salvation peace hope provision redemption health and healing there's nobody like you god you're so awesome that the devil is not even your opposite he's nowhere near you to even define himself as opposite that's how great you are and we praise you for being in this place today we blessed you for the leadership of this house the pastor's and their staff and every boy and girl every man and woman we celebrate this great day of women in red as we join from the north south east and west to just let you know that we know that we can't do one thing in our future in fact we can't do one thing today without you we need you and after you instruct us we commit to obedience in Jesus name and it is son Amen thank you Lord all the singing and all the music has been beautiful but that last song just sealed it sometimes we've got to be reminded of what Jesus has done for us as you're so obedient and still standing haha I want you to just reach out and on both sides of you there are some people standing I want you to give them a big hug and say I love you and you can't do a thing about it thank you Jesus and love you thank you lord all right you were supposed to go to two people I see the Saints cannot count in Long Beach some of y'all just going around the room but you know why because when you love some and receive love it feels good and the Lord told me something pastor I want one of my trips to Israel he said look back at that sheepfold and tell me what the Shepherd is doing and he was picking up little baby lambs and touching the heads of sheep and God told me if Shepherds know that's not what he said he said if she or not touched they died he said if sheep were not touched they died and we just got touched as sheep by one another tell your neighbor I think I'll live please be seated in the presence of the Lord before I go any further the Bible says if you be willing and obedient you will eat the good of the lamb and I noticed that the keyboard artists and the drummer were leaving the service not so much that I have something so great to say but when I caught the the drummer's I I said if you leave them we'll talk about you and he smiled that beautiful smile he has did you stay and he said well if I stay what you gonna do I said I'm still gonna talk about you and I'll let him know that I loved him but when I looked back at him one more time he said I'm gonna stay because you asked me to Paris that's a lesson how many of our kids don't stay cuz we don't even demand it but then the Lord said now go in your purse and get the largest bill you have fortunately for me it was only a 20 but if he'd been a hundred I would have obeyed too and the Lord told me to bless you with this and to tell you every time you obey God it pays I love you this is a little bit unusual but the heartens know me and from the first time we met we just loved each other I need three more people with $20 to run up and give the drummer or 20 just three I know 20 of you want to but I just want three people just three people it's just a banner caller she's counting hers she's one that's my that's my buddy from school so what I ain't been there for a few weeks still my school I just need one more one more person thank you here she comes just so much like her mom she's a giver and her husband to do it didn't you you gotta fake it til you make it at church thank you I do especially praise and thank God for the pastors of this house dr. Hardin and dr. Horton they are such a very rich vital part of my life and they don't know to this day yet how meaningful they are to me and how special they are especially the day I met her not the time that I spoke but when I walked into the school and she treated me like I was a royal princess just that she does all of you and it made me feel so good and when people asked me as a counselor what do you tell people to do between burnout and burn up I tell them to stop and take a break and in the latter part of April I hid a place in my personal life where I was between burnout and burn up and some of you don't even know this but I was in bed two weeks and could not get up and I said Lord we're in the middle of a very special project at the school take home exam for three or four chapters and I had did all of that I've written it out and all I had to do was type it but I couldn't even open my laptop has anybody been there I see y'all sitting here like you don't even know what I'm talking about and some of y'all damn burnt up and I'm looking at you today like I don't know what she's talking about I always me and Jesus shut up it's so going from God he don't even know what you look like no more you stop it y'all knew I was gonna be myself and this week as I was preparing to come here the Lord said get up and type your tests and organize all of your past assignment you know them gloss breeze and pages of scriptures like we were supposed to remember eyes I believe in reading and God said I want you to organize all your classwork and put it in the trunk and I did and I typed all of my tests that last them four or five chapters I think you got excused cuz you're so smart and stuff but the rest of us I typed them and I put them in the car because I wanted the devil to know that I may not finish with the rest of the class but when I finish I'm finishing well look at your neighbor say wander be bad Tony you don't even don't even worry about it and I thought about it I said God I'm not too sure that we remember that the devil has a plan to onslaught each of us and to thwart the plan of God for our lives personally and globally I don't know if we really understand that the devil really hates us that he comes to kill steal and destroy but we as believers have to be reminded every now and then that we are equipped with the strength of God to stand because of the anointing of the Holy Ghost they talked about they've got the Holy Ghost filled with the Holy Ghost and that was five years ago my family is a blend of so many Reformation and it makes my life rich for that the late bishop cleveland baptized my mother's mother my maternal grandmother in oklahoma before the Cleveland's ever even came to California and and so I know something about when they say feel what the Holy Ghost in that wood fire and and and I know something about being baptized in Jesus name and I know something about Father Son and Holy Ghost three or one I know something about don't cross your legs at your knees cross them at your ankles if you don't do Mama's that don't get you oh okay I can't work with you you're not honest I thought this was women's day I know something about playing and fasting and even while your daughter spoke so beautifully of you and if they take that you need to take that and keep it because the enemy is attacked and families were daughters and mothers of turning against each other sons and fathers and the Bible said it would happen but it's so painful when it does oh my god and when she was singing and just celebrating you my heart too rejoiced and I said Lord if we can convince our children that you're real it ain't hard to go out onto the street and pass out a track but when your own children won't come to church Oh God we gotta work we got to do some work at home before we go out whether or not we make ourselves available to that strength that God gives us is the question what strip did he give us open door he said after that the Holy Ghost has come upon you you shall receive power now now now I tell people some Holy Ghost she have some power much Holy Ghost much power no Holy Ghost no power Jesus he said because I need you to be witnesses in Jerusalem Judea Samaria and to the other most parts of the earth you got to know your part that's why those that saying I was just excited for you because that's not my lane I don't I don't sing now's a couple of times I want to come help and hit that keyboard cuz now I can play don't fool with it don't don't fool with it I can I can't play don't push me you will make me get in the flesh because I take these shoes off and show you what to do with that hamon yes I will but I don't sing I have to stay in my lane no sing because sister lady will have tell me like she told the people in the choir the wrong note we've got to understand the gun is release power only in your life for a reason even our personalities and I will get to the theme in a minute because my message is only about 15 20 minutes so this is just an intro whoa help us Jesus we are capable of achieving more than we ever imagined just by accessing the power of the Lord in our lives failing is not an option we can't tell sit down take a break take you to get you some water and get back up I watched people running doing the Olympics with when one man's leg started bleeding he didn't even up he didn't even pull over and get a band-aid he just kept on running he didn't win but he won see just because you crossed the line you the devil told you you were last and cross last but you need to laugh at him and say no I'm in front of you I ain't hardly last I'm up in front of you because God has a master plan designed just for us to carry us to a new and exciting Heights of splendor hope and love but when economic troubles have anybody going through any financial problems this year or am I the only one when troubles hit your family structure it's beautiful when your grandchildren don't want to ride with you too even when you go bribe them to get a gift oh I can't help y'all because you're not honest you trying to act like everybody and your family love you everybody don't love you they told me to tell you they don't like you when there are political upheavals when they're no longer running because they have answers to this country's problems but they are becoming demonic in attacking one another there used to be a time whether a president was right or wrong you did not dare speak against him because God said honor them now back and white is talking against our black president and no I don't like everything he says and does but I'm not gonna let the world know it I'm on my face at home praying praying that Michelle don't leave him say okay y'all don't know cuz y'all don't know black women you embarrass us we'll leave you oh I can't help y'all I can't they don't want they don't y'all don't want truth when our peoples and natural disasters take center stage we got to get to the place where we can rest assured with an inner peace that passes all understanding that we have the power to live victoriously not only us but our next generation and the next generations because of God only through the anointed powerful gift of the Holy Ghost will the church forge ahead with strip to overcome succeed thrive in advance and win the strength to stand through whatever comes your way is at your fingertips I said all of that as I began to approach your theme and your theme is lengthy but impactful okay see y'all already offended y'all know y'all thought that theme was lengthy - it's so lengthy ain't none of y'all memorized it see I ain't got to worry about losing no more money cuz y'all don't the theme is seeking God's way for us and our succeeding generations through obedience prayer and the world so you don't even know just by you staying as a musician when a minister asked you to stay you were telling all the other musicians don't leave when preaching starts don't fill your calendar with so many churches you got to play for that you are doing nothing but becoming a hireling and nobody's feeding your spirit so you're playing drums Sunday morning and Sunday night and drinking and drugging and the rest of the week cuz you nothing's been deposited in us to sustain us I know because I've been playing since I was seven years old and people think because you're a child you don't need what grown-ups say you need it even more because the devil is not attacking you for where you are he's attacking you for where God's going to take you you got to learn how to dress for yoga your destination not your location I think I told you that when I was here the last time I was scheduled to minister in Chicago and it was December and it was 80 some degrees here so when the driver pulled up at the US airlines and I got out it at Terminal one mama dropped out with a fooling me and the hat and the boots shut your mouth if you ain't clapping you jealous one of the mink coats oh and when I dropped out at the car brother doctor then all of the people that had on sundresses and shorts and sandals they were looking at me like is she crazy but when you know where you're going you don't even stop to explain why you look like you look you can miss your flight trying to explain no destiny because there was 80 some degrees here but it was 21 degrees in Chicago the Lord said there's act like you don't see him whole you're crazy head up and walk to that game learn to dress for your destination not your location so I looked at that and it said God we're gonna seek you through obedience prayer and the word what do you want me to place emphasis on today he said prayer he's because of those three words that's the only thing I told you all to do always and y'all don't want to do it at all wow this young lady was complimenting her mother above having a specific time to pray every day I had to repent I used to get up every day by 4:15 and dress to pray at 5:00 hear a blade I've been praying in bed hallelujah and I'm not saying God don't hear because he's answered a lot of my prayers but it was so much more effectual and my flesh got the message it wasn't in charge when I got up and I repented while I had my head down I wasn't crying tears of joy for what she said I was crying tears of repentance God forgive me and let me get back on it cuz he said pray always someone talk to you about that for about 15 minutes told a second chronicles 7 and 12 and the Lord appears to Solomon by night and said unto him I have heard thy prayer and have chosen this place to myself for a house of sacrifice women if you want to change the atmosphere and environment of your home and of your own self your mind your health your finances your family you must start with prayer we think that what will sustain a family and keep it strong and out of divorce court it's love sex and money proverbs said if you want a good home 24 vs. 3 4 & 5 he said you need knowledge wisdom and understanding not love sex and money proven Wanda tomorrow morning there will be many couples having the best sex they ever had get out of bed take a shower and go downtown and complete their divorce okay it's quiet now at the Baptist comforts tomorrow there will be a lot of people that are wealthy going in for a divorce so money didn't keep it and tomorrow there will be people that love each other that will be weeping as they walk away from each other and still get a divorce but what does it take to keep a family together what and what does it take to keep a woman in that family purse let's don't you worry about the man let's deal with us ladies in red you have to have some knowledge wisdom and understanding you have to know that when God said pray and acknowledge me in all your ways he meant that now I want to first tell you the only prayer that God can hear are those that afraid for new weave you got a new red dress you got a hat you got a weave I be the Hat she got new red shoes I don't understand it did you ask God for those things the only prayer he does not answer are those not pray I hit a slump financially you know you know I'm I'm married to God according to Isaiah he says I'm your husband men so I sleep with him I go to bed with Bibles and I turned the TV on - I have the REC TV so I either have Daystar TV in word TCT an RV you know a does go on all night he could shine preaching and teaching and the night when I went to bed trouble financially this literally happened a little over two and a half months ago and I said God I need more money this week he said ask me I said father in the name of Jesus I trust and believe you for Supernatural increase it's when I had to go on that prison tour 16 prisons in two weeks and normally even the prisons would pay us for speaking but the demons are got in there and they decided this year for Black History Month they were going to pay what we called the people that not comedians but they inspire you motivational speakers they was gonna pay them and we were volunteering I said this is gonna be a situation because I can't go back home and tell the people in my also my employees that we just volunteering this one Saints so the Lord said what do you want I said god I want you to increase my finances increase my income this week got back to Illinois's started on the tours they were in Illinois's and they were in Missouri and they said this church keeps calling and asking would you come and let them treat you and all of the prison teams to to lunch well lunch is not what you want to do when you've been talking three times a day to prisons you want hotel you don't want lunch where you got to sit and be perfect because you're save and you got to watch what you say and what you do when they call the third time I said Lord these people keep calling I don't want to say I don't want to go and I'm not a mean person I'm just tired he said go I said I told the host tell him I'll go so we meet now walk in I see these people look familiar but I didn't didn't connect right away they took us to a real nice restaurant how you know you're tired when you're too tired to order sprimp's and lobsters and they tell you you can you're getting like chicken breast and they tell you you could have screwed up in lobsters you're you're tired so the pastor's wife said ma'am my husband is in a meeting with some people at our church is just 10 minutes from this restaurant Saints don't ever listen to pastors with time and counting if they say 10 minutes it's 30 if they said we had 500 people it was 220 I said ma'am I'm very tired are you sure I said cuz we got to get up at 7:00 to start the next series of prisons tomorrow no it was 10 minutes so of course it was longer so the devil was getting me upset on the way I said these Saints have not told the truth but we pull up and when the door opens I said oh my god I do know your husband I said I know your smile where do I know you people from they told me where I knew them from told me how many years I knew them he said God said you have a word for my house on Sunday I understand the prison tour in Saturday morning would you stay over will change your ticket and fly you from here back to California I'm thinking I got a project that was due for the class and I got to be at school Tuesday night these people thought my god got a word I obeyed and when I finished those people gave me so many thousands of dollars on the plane I couldn't even go to sleep I was just holding it ok see I can't work my job I see anybody got near me ah ah and you know and then it hit me I asked God to increase me I said God I need you to increase me this week how many things have we missed women in red because we've not asked for it your daughter said you was a dreamer what did I lean over and tell you I said going and revealing ok so that was deep you to hit you on your way home she said her mama dreams and that if she said it shall be I told her go on and dream my husband ok I can't help them yup they don't want help they don't want help see because we cannot look for a man that's not biblical you don't give no brother your business card with a private number on the back he that finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor the Lord but what God told us was blessed is the man whom thou chooses and causes to approach unto thee some 65 and for now PA say don't choose if he ain't working don't choose him he don't love his momma don't choose him he don't go to church don't choose him he broke busted and disgusted don't choose him but while we waiting to look upon him we have in her dream you don't even know what you got in the house rolling your eyes cuz she looked good today and you ought to be sending her notes how beautiful you look - people clapping alright I see what I'm working with you ought to be thanking God because she's your Naomi you're her room she can teach you how to catch ball ass because if you don't learn how to catch balls you don't catch up such and such with a bone I didn't say it pastor I didn't say it I'm saved I didn't say it but you can feel the blink in look at this any time I hear the words I got ten more minutes prayer and sacrifice in reference to succeeding generations those people that come after us I immediately think of job jobs you know job he's the story of the man who loses everything it seems his wealth his family his health and wrassles with the question why ladies in red if you're married to a godly man who's being tested and tried in every dimension of life never tell him to curse God and because when when you do that ladies in red you'll become like job's wife we no longer know her name it just said Jones wife when you torment a godly man who was going through for godliness your name can be blotted out of the book of life the book of Job begins with a heavenly debate between God and Satan then it moves through cycles of earthly debates between Jobe and his friends and it finally concludes with the dramatic divine diagnosis of job's problem in the end job acknowledges the sovereignty of God in his life and through his obedience prayer and word as Joe theme recommends today he receives back more than he had before his trials in fact the Bible says he gets double the wait a minute I must share one more observation about job that is a lesson for all of us sitting here today ladies and gentlemen that we allowed in on our meeting and I'm so glad the men are here I don't want to go nowhere men can't go I feel protected when the men are here when that assistant to the Past stand up sir when he arrived we were sitting out under the tree under the shade when he got out the car walked up the sister starts saying no that brother gets stuff done I said that's right and I told him they ought to celebrate you not to the point where your wife is concerned but you know look at this the first chapter job the fifth verse tells us something about the character of job as a father and since there's no gender in God I want y'all to hear this as women - as it was so when the days of their sons and daughters feastings were gone about that job sent and sanctified them and rolls up early in the morning and offered burnt offerings according to them neither of them all for job said it may be that my sons have sinned and curse God in their hearts and then it said thus job did continually wait a minute the father and the mother of these ten children prayed everyday for their kids in case they sinned back then they were so much more holy it was in case now we gotta pray cause they're going to okay it's quiet cuz you think your little baby don't live my baby don't lie honey I don't care what the schoolteachers say and I'll burn that scoot out now we know why your child is bad you burned his school downs and the child see that and the he over there cussing the teacher out fighting and Ethne fool because we're not doing in front of them what needs to be done for them to succeed in the next generation Joe ray Joel knew that for his children his next generation to succeed he needed to cover them in prayer in case they sin to do so he said he would offer up sacrifices of lamb and sheep daily for his children's safety and protection soon after this verse we began to see the various photographs of loss death and lack what was most interesting for me to note was that until the devil in verse 16 had burned up all the sheep oh are you ready for this no harm came to Joel's children till all the sheep were burned up first oh my god after the sheep were burned up and destroyed and killed then and only then could Satan come to verses later and report to Joel that all his children were dead what happened when the devil destroyed his sacrifice a prayer for his children they would no longer protect it it is not the teachers job to raise your sons and daughters and grandchildren it's not the neighbors who'd watch it is not the church it's your job to pray it's your job to get on your knees it's your job to speak life over your children and your children cannot die until the enemy destroys your sacrifice parents evangelists missionaries preachers teachers relatives friends and saints pray for your children offer up sacrifices of prayer and praise and worship for your children daily so they will live and succeed not become a destroy by the devil and as long as job had sheep to offer up for his children his children left but when the devil killed the sacrifice the sheep and the Lambs killed the prayer killed the preys killed the worship he gained access to kill the children can I have 10 more minutes for the next 10 minutes I want to flip it a little bit I want to talk to you from a subject it's still pop prayer return to sender look at your neighbours say sometimes our return to the sender the phrase returned to sender we associate with Postal Service and FedEx and UPS deliveries when something is wrong with not necessarily the package but the delivery label on the package tell you ain't nothing wrong with your package but your delivery label see if you're going through trouble in your home read girls you don't call your friend she's going through trouble wound up man she just st. told you yet you don't call your mama she's got ten kids she's sick hear about you and your husband the one that will never be tired of hearing from us is our God he said it I'm the God of all flesh and there's nothing too hard for me why do we keep dumping our stuff all people look at your neighbor and say I'm glad she said that cuz I've been wanting to tell you quit calling me somebody is so glad they were sitting next to their best friend there are six simple truths why our prayers are unanswered and stamp return to sender number 1 James 4 and to say cuz you lust and have nots you kill and desire to have and cannot obtain you fight in war yet you have not because you ask not simply put the only prayers not answered are those not received know once you sin got a prayer you may not like his answer it could be yes no or not yet we don't like knowing not yet do we but I'm telling you when you start growing in God ladies and read this won't come a time you gonna thank God for every prayer you prayed and he said no there was a man in my life one time and God said no and I wanted I thought I wanted God to say yes and God got tired of me whining about he said it's gonna come a day I'm gonna show you what I delivered you from and when he showed me I said he come a sigh thank you for saying no and some of y'all can't clap loud because your spouse is right by you but some of you wish to God God had I feel you the second simple truth is in James 4 and 3 he said you asked and received not because you ask amiss that you may consume it upon your lusts ladies in red your prayers will not be answered if you have wrong motives what's your motive for your request are you dressing to impress are you preaching to reach or preaching to teach in the fresh I was disappointed I didn't know about the red cuz I got a real cute little readout finished and I got the shoes that would match it and when I walked up here big BAM but I think God knew how to humble me today and got me in this missionary cream because he don't want you asking a mess this time next year ain't nobody gonna remember what you wore just remember if it was fresh don't say it again if it was fresh folks praying for people and we say whoo they so anointed everybody she touched going out number three in the universal famous prayer receive these words thy kingdom come Thy will be done what does this mean it means when we pray these powerful impactful words we're actually saying God you rule and reign you'd be the only king unless your will be done open door the will of God the will of God is the word of God so if you praying and not praying the word of Prayer your prayers can go on Anse your answer then be stamp return to sender you know come up in here and pray that dr. Horton become your husband what you gonna do with her maybe I've lost my mind Pass with me God showed me you can pick 11 other women so it's 12 in your God's perfect number 12 the number of God and what y'all to pray because God have showed me you telling you tell this to your friend God has showed me Bishop Blake as my husband what we don't do with lady man and if something do happen to her and you get in his face I'm gonna beat you down in the parking lot it's not gonna work real good for you because you're asking a Miss you don't ask God for your sister's husband what is wrong with you and I just saw last week it's advertised at Ricki Lake he is coming back on TV that would be Ricki Lake he mess I go to church in Long Beach the Lord had showed me 10 years ago the head Deacon was for me the hair Deacon is married nut God is not a bigamist when asked an amiss I want God to give rolls-royce do you have the money to buy the gas well let's back up could you pay the $7,000 a year car tag you asked him to miss get that bull swaggin and get on down the road just got called the pasture and don't think you're gonna split somebody's church and open up a building across the street what is wrong with you you're asking to miss God calls you then he prepares you then he sends you I know who's trying to go out soon everybody start rolling the icy Middleton now that's why they got me here cuz I can say what they don't want to and that good look at your neighbor say isn't that good Wanda can say what they don't need to say let's go to the next thing God honors and respects his work so when you sick pray the Word of God regarding healing when you're broke pray the will of God concerning provision and financial resources and witty business ideas and how to get well starting with paying your ties Sunday you pay ties okay cuz I have to get my 20 back I don't bless what God curse no I'm serious about that I don't bless what God curse now I'll feed you but you can't have my money and you don't pay ties tell me that's of the Old Testament oh don't is then that nauseating when people start that mess oh no you know I'm of the New Testament of the New Covenant okay how much of the Old Testament are we cutting out just Malachi what about Genesis 1 and 1 in the beginning god we cutting that out that's Old Testament what about no weapon formed against you shall prosper we cutting that out that's Old Testament what about the Lord is my shepherd I shall not want how far you going look at there so when you mentally aren't emotionally disturbed look at your neighbors say you know if you're not there's someone in your family you gotta pray the Word of God for your healing and then keep taking your medicine when you really heal a bipolar and schizophrenia and toxic emotions we don't have to tell you stop taking your medicine your doctor will take you on God heal meeting you out there burning up people's cars you're not healing yet you're in the manic phase and we got to get you back to Kaiser ok I can't help y'all when you're exhausted pray the Word of God when your family and even marital issues come up remember that Paul said get married you're gonna have trouble they haven't made it 40 some years together not cuz they just love each other somebody said oh my god no because they made a decision it doesn't matter what happens we're gonna be biblical and we're gonna stay we're not going to mention the D word you starting that divorce word come out death and life is in the power of your tongue Paul said get married you're gonna have trouble does this mean don't get married no it means get smart find out what kind of trouble you will have if you get married and get the answers to their trouble before you have them then they're no longer trouble they are an experience like women learn to hush when a man is watching TV and you keep going yeah and he keeps turning to volume up he's saying hush okay I can't help you I can't help you you got to pray the Word of God over your spouse over your parents over your siblings over your children pray God's Word and pray to you get your answers okay what's another reason why prayers go unanswered I got to finish I need the attention of all the men that dared to be here at the women in red conference today because this truth this especially for those of you that are married men ways to raise your hand all the men from one years old all right look at this first Peter 3 and 7 says like why is he husband's dwell with them according to knowledge give an honor to the wife as unto the weaker vessel didn't say she was weaker says as on to weaker vessel and as being heirs together of the grace of life that your prayers be not hindered women you ain't got to call the pastor and dr. Hardin and everybody in the church complain about what your husband's doing if he's not treating you right if he mistreats you because Mary man if you want your prayers answered you gotta honor you're wise you gotta you gotta repent and fix some stuff when you mistreated her brother when you you bring disharmony in your home when you must treat your wife and calls your prayers to be hindered what does it mean to be hindered blocked stall delayed and held up now those that know me personally and one of my adjectives one of my personal a dense is here is sister Roche love you God bless you and her son Matthew my grandson let me tell you something they know that it's not good for other people on freeways that I Drive I've had drivers and one of my drivers drove for me 17 years before I moved to Atlanta wasn't cuz I was spoiled it just wasn't good for the rest of you my manager calls she said shall I contact them and see can someone pick you up and I thought well this is a Sunday it's three o'clock day don't take them two hours to come get me two to bring me back then another two hours two hours I said I'm gonna be a big girl and drive myself I should have prayed first but when I got in that car I began to pray and I said God this is not normally something that I should be doing but you're with me and I need you to drive with me and just like I'm talking to you the Holy Spirit said do not do 14 south to 5 South to 405 to 91 East he says do 14 South to five South to 110 South to 91 East just like it was a GPS and if I had had a GPS in my little Beemer I'd have probably not known how to do it and been frustrated so God said I'm gonna bypass all that stuff and I'm gonna just tell you what to do on the news it said all the trouble that was on 405 I probably would have still been trying to get here but the way I went all I kept running into was ambulances and police with their fire trucks with the sirens and all you do to do to handle that is to get over I know not to throw my hands up and say take it Jesus I just pulled over and in another Lane let him pass me and I got here 15 minutes earlier because I acknowledge God why are we always showing up late sometimes cuz we have an ascot you just get up to take a shower eat your little bowl of oatmeal and start out God wants to tell you some trouble is on 91st Street go down 89th but he can't because you didn't take time to hear him when you get in a big ol accident look what the devil did the devil didn't do it you didn't acknowledge him this why prayers go unanswered mark 11:23 24 that whatsoever whosoever shall say to this mountain be removed cast in the sea shall not dawdling his heart shall believe those things which he says shall come to pass he shall help us whatever he said do you believe what you brand well you just up here a bunch of words wasting our time first 24 therefore I say unto you what things soever you desire when you pray believe you receive them you shall have them what do these two verses tell us that a lack of faith will cause your prayer to be sent back return to sender our prayers have got to be mixed with faith to get answered what is faith the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen line yo hope up with the Word of God empower your hope with faith and get the evidence you need and want when you pray for my dad died they call me when I was living in LA then they called and said your dad just had a heart attack I'd run to the LA Airport and I fly up north and I prayed them he said we waiting for the ambulance a father named Jesus touching from the top of his head by you stripes is done and I'm crying on the airplane so I run I land and now get a cab I get to mama and daddy's house what hospital is he in and like the Holy Spirit turn the dining room table eating barbecue I said did y'all just tell me daddy was having a heart attack what is wrong with you daddy sitting at this table eating barbecue he said oh you didn't believe what you prayed did you he said you told me that the heart attack was being stopped by the Word of God and that by His stripes I was healed he said so I just let him take to the hospital checked me told him it was reversed bringing me home tell your mom to give me my barbecue he said now don't tell me don't pray a prayer over me if you don't believe it don't ever do that again I was so shame all I could do was take me back to the airport don't pray it don't say it if you don't believe it and finally won't find a reason why our prayers and our answered and sent back returned to cinders at mark 11:25 we don't want to hear this but I got to tell you since when you stand praying forgive if you have anything against that your father also which is in heaven may forgive your trespasses whoa but if you do not forgive listen at this neither will your father which is heaven forgive you that scares me sings because don't none of y'all owe me what I owe God he says unforgiving trance pastors can hinder our prayers and cause them to be unanswered believe it or not this is tied somewhat to the former reason our prayers unanswered for the word declares that faith worketh by love so when and if we are upset and we're out of love our faith won't work oh and if our faith won't work our prayers go unanswered we must make conscious decisions to forgive ourselves forgive others and do so swiftly if at all possible because we really need our prayers answer don't we ladies in red don't we quick review our prayers are not answered when we ask a Miss when we asked with wrong emotions when we mistreat our wives or spouses our husband or children and bring disharmony in the home when our prayers are not mixed with faith and when we have unforgiveness your theme today seeking God's way for us and aren't succeeding generations through obedience prayer and the word we must get back to doing the one thing that God requires us to do always and yet our flesh does not want to do it at all 3 finally many of us sitting here today need to look at the stamps on our on our return on answered prayers and ourselves do what that stamp commands we need to return to sender
