Holy Prayer | Philip Anthony Mitchell

hi and welcome to the victory Church podcast we're so glad you could join us if this ministry has impacted you in any way we'd love to hear all about it please send us an email at share and victory Church ATO org we pray this message will speak to your heart for three weeks I've been preaching to you about the holiness of God I've preached you about the holy standard of God I've pushed you about the holy grace of God and what I honestly felt like the Holy Spirit wanted from us this Sunday was to take a moment and to just reflect what we have heard what we have learned to just take a moment to pray in his presence now for those of us who are not believers this part of our experience is gonna seem awkward to you this is normally the time when I would I would open up this gorgeous and and preach to my spiritual family but but I am a man not bound by programs but I am bound by the Holy Spirit and I do felt like the Holy Spirit told me to keep silent this Sunday to not breach on this particular day but is for us to pray through a psalm together and and and let our time in prayer in our time and God's presence be suffice because one of the problems I did mention to you in the series is that when not contact with God like he is not enough for us and so if he's not providing us with trinkets and toys and the next thing we get bored with a holy God but but today God himself would be enough and if God is not enough was decided that you shall leave this room disappointed because a man is not gonna preach to you this morning but we're gonna press into God's presence with them with the hope that God himself and the word itself would be enough for us this morning and if you're not a follower of Jesus then you you can just watch us as we communicate with a holy God [Music] and maybe God might minister to you while we pray to the Father [Music] [Music] I want y'all to come out from there and join us come sit on the stage with me and you choose because I want you to be a part of us what's happening right now [Music] psalm 119 a group of men ruled out a cry unto the Lord to be closer to him through his word and I felt the Holy Spirit give me a portion of this song for us to pray through this morning and what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna read a line and then we're gonna bow our heads and we're gonna pray through that part of the psalm whatever's happening in your life you're gonna pray through that part of the song for you psalm 119 verse 1 says this blessed are they those ways are blameless walk according to the law of God blessed happy prosperous of the individuals the men and women of God whose ways are blameless they don't bring shame to God Almighty they walk not according to their own flesh and opinions they walk or they live their lives according to the Word of God let's bow our heads right now I want you to think about the areas in your life where you know you've brought God shame with things you have done and things you have said have been an embarrassment to the Lord I want you to think about areas of your life that is not submitted to God's Word where you say I live this way the way that I want to live but is not according to God's Word God I've embarrassed you in this area I've brought shame to you in this area of my life and I am honest to know that this area of my life I'm not following your word in this area and I know it I want you to take a moment and repent of that area and recommit your heart to follow God according to his word in that area of your life [Music] just be honest the presence of the Lord is in this room just be honest this is what he wants from us [Music] where have you brought him shame wait has your life embarrassed him where has people fell away from the faith because of your life and your witness [Music] where have you blew it and you said I wish I didn't say that I wish I didn't represent him that way I posted that but I lived a different way we have you brought shame to God repent of that and where have you honestly lived according to your own opinion but not according to his word repent of that [Music] first tool blessed are they who keep his statutes and seek him with their whole heart blessed happy prosperous are the men and women who run after the Word of God and who seek God they they look for him with their whole heart now let's pray I want you to ask God to give you a hunger for his presence and a hunger for his word let's be honest let's let's pray that we would be we would be hungry for him and hungry for his word because if we would be honest we have been hungry for other things let's take a moment and ask God for ourselves for a hunger for his word a hunger for him and let's repent of things we have been pursuing above him are you hungry for him do you enjoy times of Prayer are you bored when you go into his presence do you not think about him except on Sunday God give me a Hummer for you give me a thirst for your holy word may my heart run after you God I want to seek you with everything that is in me let that be a prayer for just a moment Jesus [Music] and blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness for they shall be

disobedient God you say give and I don't do that you say so and I don't do that you say forgive me they don't do that you gave me instructions and I've went the other way how many times have we been hard because of our disobedience that's repelled of death and as God to help us to have an obedient spirit before him obedience is better than sacrifice [Music] verse 5 o that my waves were steadfast in obeying your decrees and six then I would not be put to shame when I consider all your Commandments so this part of the psalm is Lord teach me to be faithful and not always giving up when things
