Prayer Con 21 | Sunday AM

hallelujah praise god um and you know might as well deal with the elephant in the room somebody goes i don't see him well might as well deal with that ahead of time we're in a very unusual place right now in our nation um if you don't know that then god bless you you haven't had on a radio a tv a watch a phone uh you know it's it's a real unusual time in our nation right now i've been around a couple years i've never seen anything like it it's an unusual time but but the bottom line is where it's all going it's going to be okay that much we do know it's going to be okay somebody goes what does that mean i don't know i just know it's going to be okay not only not only do i believe and say that but late one night just i was going off to sleep number of weeks back that rose up on the inside by the holy ghost and he said it's gonna be okay and uh so that being the case uh with everything going on out there this is a prayer conference and we're gonna you know i love prayer conference conferences where we actually pray you know i've been to the other kind where we get a lot of good messages and all that that's wonderful but if i'm going to a prayer conference i want to pray so we're going to be doing a lot of praying we'll be sharing some things but i know probably for me probably i'm going to talk shorter and pray longer and and it's going to be a good time i believe you know i believe there's a spirit of prayer god is endeavoring to get us to step over into a real spirit of prayer so anyway so i will say this uh just so we you know we we launch we we go out of the blocks the right way here um this is not going to be political okay i know a lot of folks are a lot of different places a lot of folks believe in a lot of different things praying a lot of different things it's all right i'm just telling you ahead of time this is not going to be political this is biblical not political okay all right um you know uh it's i know living in the day we're in sometimes it's hard not to open your mouth and express opinions and all that but i'm gonna do my best not to you know right now i'm not sure i got any um it's just a real interesting time but uh anyway anyway but we're gonna we're gonna share things out of the scriptures i i've got um i've got a few specific things rolling around but what i want to do first of all i want to just launch out uh in praying about this um uh last night pastor gent said you got anything for tomorrow and i said well i will she said this morning on the way to church you got anything i said i will sometimes you have to lock in your statement of faith when you when you get to the area of prayer you know we've been doing noon prayer for 10 months something like that do a noon hour of prayer for 10 months we started out 15 minutes and for 15 days and now we're we're headed toward 15 months i don't know but to me it's been one of the most enjoyable things to be able every 12 o'clock every noon to just sit in front of our phone and and share a few things and begin to pray and it's been a real joy and i know it's made a huge difference and we're just going to keep it going as far as i know for quite a while yet but um uh what a time to pray what a time to pray so anyway um i i'm going to start here i'm headed down here where i can see the whites of your eyes anyway if we go back here i'm going to start out with i guess where i was headed with that was i uh you know i've been pondering for days uh lord where do we go with this and sometimes you just have to get in the river and see which way it runs sometimes that's just the best it is but but you know i did have i did have this verse rolling around for a little while now and uh funny it would be a scripture that says over in first timothy chapter 2 verse 1 where paul wrote to timothy by the holy ghost and he said first of all first of all well i figured if he said first of all you know he didn't say oops i missed it you know i didn't really mean to say that i meant second of all or if you get time to do it funny thing and god really knows what he's saying he knows what he's saying he says what he means and he means what he says and when he says first of all i think he means first of all and especially if we're in the middle of a prayer conference and god says first of all in the area of prayer probably he means first of all so i'm going to start out with this and he says paul writing he says first of all i exhort therefore i exhort i encourage i exhort therefore that first of all supplications prayers intercessions and giving of thanks be made for all men for kings well you know we don't have kings that's over in other countries okay well let's just take the next part for kings and for those that are in authority isn't interesting he said starts out and he said i exhort therefore that first of all supplications prayers intercession giving of thanks be made for all men for kings and for all that are in authority and it's interesting he says this isn't just something i want to do because i don't know i just want to tell you to do something no anytime god gives you a a mandate there's always a reward that we we the church may lead a quiet and peaceable life and king james has a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty another translation i've been trying to find it i don't know where i got this probably 25 years ago maybe 30 i'm still trying to find the translation but it's it's out there somewhere another one says that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all freedom of religion and high moral standards well it's all kind of the same thing godliness and honesty freedom of religion high moral standards but isn't interesting i'm going to go somewhere with this this morning where paul writes to timothy and he said i exhort there i encourage you first of all here's the guy that's been up to the third heaven heard things unlawful to be uttered all right he's he's been in the present he's been at the throne room up there if i'm going to believe anybody i'm going to believe somebody that's been that close to the things of god all scripture is given by inspiration of god's profitable for doctrine reproof correction instruction and righteousness that the man of god may be perfect mature thoroughly furnished every good work the bible you can depend on it and so what do you say i exhort therefore that first of all so this is this is the first service in a conference and so what we're gonna do is we're gonna do first of all first of all okay i told pastor janet just a little while ago i said you know many times we've done this and i kind of launch out the first service sunday morning and kind of give some direction we come back sunday night we start praying we're not going to wait that long we got it first of all i'm going to share a few things and we're going to we're going to take some time to pray okay now he says i exhort therefore the first of all supplications prayers intercession giving of thanks be made for all men now i'm gonna i'm gonna step out i'm gonna tiptoe through a minefield here all right it's interesting he said for all men for kings and those that are in authority supplications prayers intercession well i'll pray for them but i'm sure i'm going to give thanks for him he just missed the boat doc okay supplication prayers intercession does the bible say it did paul say it if paul said it did god say it is all scripture given by inspiration of god yeah you know when it comes right down to it there are going to be times in life there's going to be people in leadership and authority you may not necessarily agree with and you may not personally like them even though you never met them probably never will meet them but the bottom line is we're told if they're in that place we need to supplications prayers intercession and giving them thanks if there's somebody you don't particularly like first thing you ought to do is get on your face and start giving thanks for them i don't think i can do that i'll put that flesh under and do it anyway all right so anyway stick with me here i know a lot of people have a lot of opinions i understand all that let's take all of our opinions let's just put them all in a basket somewhere leave them at home and let's come in let's just get with what the bible says to get with and i'll tell you why in a moment now so he said i'm going to read this again out of the passion translation most of all i'm writing to encourage you to pray with gratitude to god pray for all men and all with all forms of prayer and request as you intercede with intense passion i don't care who it is we're supposed to pray with intense passion yeah that doesn't mean pray god get rid of him do i need to say that again it's like the verse i heard a guy pray one time for the president somebody asked to get up and pray for the president years and years ago he thought it was funny he got up and prayed that verse out of uh i couldn't even tell you if it's out of the psalms i'm not real sure but it was in reference to uh judas and it said may his bishopric be short and another take his place let's just say a hush went over the entire crowd no with intense passion most of all i'm writing to encourage you to pray with gratitude to god pray for all men with all forms of prayers and requests as you intercede with intense passion and pray for every every what you're not is it up here hey thanks okay and pray for every political leader and representative so that we would be able to live tranquil undisturbed lives as we worship the awe-inspiring god with pure hearts this is how we're going to start out i don't know about you if i'm going to be anything i want to be scriptural because god watches over his word to perform it if i'm doing his word he's watching over if i'm not doing his word well anyway we won't go there but uh you know our first step now notice first of all our first step is to pray for kings uh representatives those that are in authority those that are in a place you know well i didn't vote for so-and-so or i did vote for so-and-so it doesn't matter who you voted for it's not who you voted for it's who you're praying for well i don't like what happened well you may not like what happened but god didn't say pray if you like what happened and like i said don't misunderstand me i'm not getting political what i'm saying is we've got to take all this stuff and get it out of the way and i'm going to tell you in a minute why okay there is a reason this is not god just going i just want to i just it just it just blesses me when i irritate you i'm gonna not the way it works okay there's reasoning behind this i'm going to i've got to move on because i want us to have just a few minutes at the end to pray but this is our launching place okay this is the place we launch out of when i was in in high school i did track and field and and you know we'd have to have to you know stretch out and get back into the to the to the blocks and all of a sudden the gun would go off all sudden you launch this is our launching place okay means you got to back into the blocks and you're going to have to give what you got and so this is if we're going to go into pray we can we can pray our way around the world we can pray for it we can pray for the lost we can pray for the heathen we can pray for a more revival no no first of all first of all okay how many think we ought to be scriptural okay all right well you know well i don't i just don't know i don't know well i'm helping you with that okay now let me tell you why i believe there's a good why in here this is this is 2021. you know how many of you ever weren't in school i i can look out and see how many of you weren't i don't mean you weren't in school i mean you this will come out right eventually a lot of you i can look out and see you were not in school when the book 1984 came out yeah thank you thank you we it was required reading when i was in school 1984 because a big joke because the world wouldn't be around 1984. we'd all be gone by then not raptured we'd just blow it up by then and uh you know the other day i got to thinking i just had this flashback of reading 1984 when there were cameras everywhere you couldn't go anywhere without being watched you couldn't do anything without being watched and i'm going down the street going 1984. they're watching me they got facial recognition they know who i am they know where i am they know what i'm doing they probably know what i'm thinking bottom line is don't get scared about that just get think good things just do things that wouldn't embarrass you if you did have a camera on you but now but um you know here we are in 2021 and um uh backing up uh to 2007 october 2007. so we're talking 13 a little over 13 years ago we were having we were doing i i don't recall the exact details but we were doing i think 30 days of prayer i don't think it was 30 days seven days a week but we're doing somehow i think 30 days of prayer and i prayed about it and i said lord you know which candidate are we praying for and all i got from the holy ghost was you're not praying for a candidate you're praying for the you're praying for the church you're praying for the nation okay you're praying you gotta you gotta step out bigger than a seat you gotta get out to the nation you're praying for the nation no individual can sit down in a seat and be the savior of a nation okay and if you're looking for somebody to save the nation i hate to tell you you're going to be sadly disappointed we only have one savior that can fix things okay and god's left it up to the church i'm gonna i'm gonna get to this block the doors i'm just getting started all right uh now october 19 i'm sorry 2007. um we were doing these these nights of prayer and i was just walking along just you know kind of in front of the platform like this and all of a sudden i heard inside it wasn't a vision it wasn't a visitation okay wasn't an angel coming and talking to me i've had that happen a couple times but inside and and uh i wouldn't say it was the word of the lord word of the lord just defined in the scriptures usually it's so audible you think everybody in the room hears it but then there's what's called the voice of the spirit this you know when we see in the scripture when so-and-so said the spirit spoke to me said go with them nothing doubting over their course peter heading for cornelius place and um it was just uh the the spirit of god spoke up loud and clear it wasn't audible but he spoke up it wasn't just an impression it was words said there are three spirits that have been unleashed upon america again to try to destroy her and you're gonna have to do something about it now if you notice 13 years down the road that hadn't left me yet sometimes those things come along and god put something on you that you really don't really want him to put on you and you don't forget that so it's right about over in here somewhere and i heard inside there's three spirits that have been unleashed upon america again this is an american issue okay may work in other countries the same but we're praying for our nation at this time there are three spirits that have been unleashed upon america again interesting again three spirits been unleashed upon america again not they're going to be they have been three spirits that have been unleashed upon america again to try to destroy her and you're gonna have to do something about it well um i i knew when he said that i knew he wasn't saying doc you got the you got the assignment you're going to have to fix this thing no one no one individual is going to fix it i've seen folks bless their hearts i know people mean well but i've seen folks think they're fixing everything no we have one savior okay and uh you know no no one individual is gonna be the one fix all the problems whether it's in prayer whether it's in faith whether it's in prophesying whether it's in declaring what no one individual is going to fix everything okay there were people all kinds of people took credit for the berlin wall coming down and i thought yeah none of you've been on the other side of that wall and saw the pastors praying if anybody gets credit for tearing that thing down with their faith it was the the guys behind the wall so anyway so anyway um i i knew what spirit of god was what he was saying when he says there are three spirits that have been unleashed upon america again to try to destroy her and you're going to have to do something about it i knew he meant not me he meant the church the church going to have to do something the church is going to have to do something and so uh so anyway so i thought oh okay all right and i kind of just sat on it for a while because i didn't know what to do with it i don't i don't know where to go with this okay well somebody made mention i did bring that up eventually some made somebody made mention to me and said said remember brother hagin dealt with that years ago well the minute they said that i thought i know i know he did i just don't know where it is well somebody later i mentioned that somebody said that's in one of the last chapters of the book the art of intercession okay later on it was changed to the art of prayer i don't know the difference in that particular setting so i started buying every copy i could get of the art of intercession because i wanted to make sure i had plenty of those and i remember when that was taught remember when brother hagin taught that but anyway in that book the art of intercession you go to the last one of the last chapters and it says it talks about interceding for your nation well i got that guy of course i had that book in my library i got the book out and i began to read back there and got in that last chapter and uh brother hagin was talking about 1979 he was in a conference got done they all went back to the you know main host room um uh and and you know had something to eat he said the spirit of god came on he said he prayed until i don't know three or four o'clock in the morning had a visitation in this visitation um he saw and that's where people get confused okay he saw three giant frog-like creatures coming out of the ocean off the east coast he saw these giant frog like creatures doesn't mean our nation has been attacked by frogs that was egypt okay no frogs but sometimes things mean different things coming out of the sea that doesn't mean they're going to come crawling up out of the ocean sea is always a picture of a a large mass of humanity okay and most of the time in the scriptures you see a sea it refers to a large group of people okay and when you see these other creatures these three one time he saw it as three frog like creatures another time is three it looked like whales coming out of the ocean two times that happened and so um so i go back and i'm reading about this and he says that this visitation in 19 i think it was probably july 1979 not sure but he said uh you know after all this other had this time of prayer the holy ghost came on him and he saw these three creatures coming up out of the sea and the lord began to talk to him about this and said these are three spirits unleashed upon america i thought hmm so this has happened before but he saw this he said he said the the lord spoke to him said these are three creatures that have been unleashed upon america and um and now when this happened in 2007 i had a sense you know spirits that operate devils spirits that operate what they do is they try to operate through their personality unclean spirits deaf spirits you know you look through the scriptures different spirits and what they do is they manifest their personality through any kind of flesh they can get you know attached to and i had a sense that these three whatever these three spirits were unleashed upon america in roughly 2007 i had a sense that one was going to be political one was going to be economic and one was going to be racial or social and i knew those three things so we're going to have an outpouring of social slash racial issues uh political issues and financial issues and but you have to understand paul wrote to the ephesians he says for we wrestle not against flesh and blood so when we see these things operating we need to be smart enough not to go out and get mad at everybody that's doing those things because we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities powers rulers of the darkness of this world wicked spirits and heavenly places we need to understand when these things are slapping our country around we ought not to be out slapping people around well does that mean everybody's nice and good and kind and no what it means is people are a whole lot worse when there's a devil pushing them than they are when the devil's not pushing them and a lot of people would do a lot better including all of us would do a whole lot better if we didn't have the devil pushing us certain directions ah a time a christian devil's never pushed me how about if you go back in the gospels when uh jesus said to peter said who who do people say i am well you're john the baptist jeremiah one of the prophets who do you say i am he said oh you're the christ the son of the living god jesus said blessed art thou simon bar jonah for flesh and blood does not reveal this unto thee but my father which is in heaven now you heard from the holy ghost god you yield to the spirit of god you know who i am and upon this rock i'll build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it i mean this wonderful setting you get a little further down there and jesus said i'm going to have to go peter pulls him aside said oh jesus you need a little help with this we've been waiting 4 000 years for you you can't go now we really need you you can't go what did jesus say get thee behind me saying does that mean peter turned into the devil no it just means one minute he yielded to the spirit of god the next minute he yielded to the wrong spirit people can do that that's why we need to be praying for our leaders that they'll yield to the spirit of god and not yield to other spirits that are trying to mess our country up that's why we need to do that okay now now where i'm going with this is uh because i i got something i got something this morning actually after i got to church i i saw something i say saw i saw something i'd been looking for for a long time had to go get a book out of my office had to send greg back to get a book because i had to look at it again um so so i i got hold of you know basically um with that visitation brother hagin had the lord jesus now it's important we get this someone goes well that was just brother hagin well i know it's just brother hagin i heard a guy say one time well he was good he just walked in the light he had i'd give anything to have a tenth of the light he had give me a break anyway anyway where was i messed myself up now so so um in this visitation the lord jesus spoke to him and he said i spoke now this is this is where it starts getting really important excuse me he said us he said you saw these same spirits in i think it's 1970 you had a visitation you saw these same spirits and i told you to do something about it and you didn't do it i don't ever want jesus to have to look me with fire in his eyes and go i told you and you didn't do it i'd really rather not have that so anyway he said i spoke to you i showed you these same three spirits i think it was 1970 and he said i told you to do something about it you didn't do it he said there were things that happened in your nation that should not have happened would not have happened if you had done what i told you to do okay and he talked about he talked about riots he talked about economic things he talked about social and political things and there are things all three of these things manifested in your nation because you didn't do what i told you to do then he said then again okay then again and now this was 1979 when this happened he says now he said and afterward he said i spoke to you again he said and you again didn't do what i told you to do. there are some things that happened to your president that should not have happened and would not have happened if you'd have been doing your job well you know i'm looking back around that time and how many remember when president reagan was shot okay there were things that probably couldn't wouldn't shouldn't have happened if the church would have been doing our job go well who do we think we are the church well why does god tell us to do it because we're the ones he gave the keys of the kingdom to we're the ones jesus said all power is given unto me both in heaven and in earth go ye therefore he didn't need those keys in heaven we need the keys down here he delegated the authority to us we're the ones that make that's why luke and megan and the girls are over there in in france because somebody's got to go plant their feet boots on the ground get in the middle get planted in that place call it home and make a difference over there and get people to pray because if the church will pray there's a lot of things in the realm of the spirit that will be stopped there's i'm going to get to the end of this soon now so but he said if you'd had done your job there are things that would not have happened okay so i'm i'm going back through all this i'm reading all this and he said um he said there are those that will laugh about this they're those that'll make fun of this oh yeah it happened because the church didn't pray he said but when they stand before the throne of god and receive the judgment for not doing what i told them to do they'll stop laughing that's pretty strong i don't want to be in that position i'd rather do what i'm supposed to do why because it'll it'll make a difference so so anyway so he this was a visitation that was and i know brother hagin after that begin to to take time do prayer meetings pray about things in the nation and and i'll say this it may come up again but in that particular day brother hagin's been in heaven for 17 years now but that particular time uh maybe some of you never were around him didn't know anything about him but in that particular time that particular generation brother hagin was probably the leading person in the nation if not the world in that particular office stood in the office of prophet and teacher pastor janet and i were around him for 30 years watched everything watched him flow watched him operate watched the pro i mean we we watched him we worked for him we worked with him we were around him on a regular basis for 30 years time and i was thinking the other day stick with me here i was we were with him for 30 years and you know in 30 years time i don't remember him ever getting involved in politics thanks for the one hello never got involved in it and that was in 30 years time that seven presidential elections but in seven presidential elections i never heard him get involved all he'd do is get us to pray for kings and for those that are in authority he didn't go outside the boundaries of the word he stayed within the boundaries of the word now throughout the week i may say more good chance we'll see but um because i want to get to something here so we got some few minutes to pray um so anyway so i i'm i'm i'm reading through all this and i'm going okay okay i understand it visitation 1970 another visitation 1979 not obedient at 1970 more obedient 1979 and at that particular time of 79 the lord spoke to him and said there are some things that are about to take place in your nation that will not if you do your job and take your place and i don't know looking back i don't i don't know i never heard any more about that but let's just say that got my attention you know fast forward to 2007 and and uh it's not my job to pray somebody in or out of office it's my job to pray for kings and for those that are in authority okay and somebody goes well i just don't know how to pray i have a great scripture for you romans 8 26 the spirit himself helpeth our infirmities for we know not what to pray for as we ought sometimes you just don't know what to pray for well i got opinions well the last i checked my opinions don't carry a lot of weight but praying in tongues prays out the perfect will of god okay now the part i want to get to and this we're going to we're going to stop here and take a few minutes to pray um so from 2007 fast forward a number of years i when pastor janet and i traveled we'd go out and and we're at a men's meeting in a particular place and i i took time to to because later on in that same chapter first timothy 2 he talks about i would therefore that men pray everywhere lifting up holy hands without wrath and doubt so what get men stirred up to pray i believe men carry an authority concerning government affairs two amens on that okay now i believe not that not everybody does but i believe there's a system of authority and i believe god wants men to open their mouths and use their voices to pray about this thing i believe we carry something i'm not i'm not egotistical and i'm not i'm not going to get you know uh ladies don't you know why why would he say why would he say that to men because because the women are already praying he didn't say women i need you to pray they're already praying it's the guys he has to you know kind of drop kick a couple times to get us to pray so anyway um i gotta get stopped here i'm not going to go there but anyway maybe later who knows where this week is going to go that would be a real good one to cover and then run for the door now now i don't know about you i just want the will of god done this week i don't want to get political i don't want to get into any of that i just want to get over biblical spiritual prayerful and get our nation full of what god can do are we going to go through some tough times yeah is it all over no there's some there's some stuff coming what is it i haven't got a clue i don't know but we're not past it all now but i'll tell you what we might as well do all we can do to rise up above all we can rise above bottom line so we can we can we can either neutralize minimize delay or stop certain things in our nation if we'll pray makes it worth praying so anyway what i wanted to get to here was so for a number of years um we we'd go out and do meetings we shared it with the church a number of times about the the about prayer praying for our nation that in 2007 there were three spirits unleashed upon our nation again and you go from 2007 on and you can see a number of these things that started to try to manifest i really believe the church prayed our way above a lot of it not all of it but i believe we did what we should do and i believe god helped took hold of it and helped to raise us above some stuff that could have been a lot worse okay now but but you know i i have to admit you know what we would get everybody we pray we'd pray and just take authority over those three devils you know you follow spirits in the name of jesus you can't have our nation now there's nothing wrong with that stick with me you know you follow you three spirits of of politics and and social issues and and racial issues and and and and uh financial issues you take authority over you you can't have this nation you'll just use authority you know and but i always had a question when brother hagin would talk about these two visitations it's always in the light if you've got that book you can look it up it's always in the light of first timothy chapter uh two verse one i exhort therefore that first of all supplications prayers intercession giving of thanks be made for all men for kings and for those that are in authority so we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all freedom of religion high moral standards okay so boy and i'm thinking okay i've somehow these two are not connecting in me took it took me it probably won't take you years okay it took me years to get hold of this but there was always something there's always something where i'm trying to relate first timothy 2 1 and taking authority over the devils trying to mess with our nation and i'm trying to figure out how these two dovetail together okay now maybe you've never wondered that well if you haven't that's fine i'm going to tell you anyway so this morning i'm just sitting back here and i thought i missed something i've read that book dozens and dozens and dozens of times but there's something i missed back there so brought my copy with me i think did i bring it yes i'm going to read you one paragraph in here 2. he says in that particular setting this is when jesus is talking to him he said then he said when you tell that to some about you know the fact the church he said i'm going to hold the church accountable i'm not going to hold the world accountable for the mess the nation gets in you can't expect the world to act not like they're not the world i'm going to hold the church accountable why would he hold the church accountable because we got the name we got prayer we got dominion we got authority why would he hold the church accountable because we're the only ones that could do anything about it we are the restraining force on this earth he says then he said when you tell that to some of the christians they'll laugh but when they stand before my judgment seat and receive the condemnation rather than the man who was then president they won't laugh see we've always wanted to blame the president oh i'll tell you if we had a different president who had this president had that prayer we always want to blame the president and god said jesus said he people think they're going to blame the president i'm going to blame the church because the church is the only one that could do anything about it well that person didn't act right and they didn't do right yeah but how often did you one thing i noticed if you're grape and you're not playing praying and if you're praying you're not griping thank you now then the next chapter i'm sorry next paragraph he says if now here's what i was looking for if christians had done what i told them to do in the bible if they had prayed for the leaders of their nations they would have kept the evil spirits from operating now some of you that'll catch you on the way home you're driving through freddy's or something i got it see i'm thinking how do we keep dealing with the devil over here what's that got to do with praying for our leaders over here the thing is if we're praying for our leaders it's going to undermine everything the devil's i'm going to read that again if christians had done what i told them to do in the bible huh funny just back to the bible if christians had done what i told them to do in the bible if they'd prayed for the leaders of their nations they would have kept the evil spirits from operating how do you keep evil spirits from operating by praying for the leader of your nation how does that work because the leader of the nation whether you like it or not is the one that has this ultimate spiritual authority whoever they are whatever party they are but in this book brother hagin he made the statement one time everybody loved hearing that he said if you're real political you'll never do much for god if you're party minded you'll never be much in the kingdom of god you've got to rise above that and be scriptural okay i got four hands up on that okay he said if you're if you're party-minded you're never going to be much use in the kingdom of god and things like that he says you're going to have to be spiritual minded okay hallelujah this is a good launch launch out for the first service huh hallelujah how many say how many say i'll come back thank you all right you know honestly i just want to get the job done right and if we don't understand authority we're not going to use our authority and when he said that he said if the church would have prayed for those that are in power if the church would have prayed for the president these spirits would not have been able to operate so i i've wrestled that for 13 years i was having trouble relating the two in my own thinking god what how do these two relate pray for kings and those in authority but then you've got these three spirits unleashed upon our nation what do i do about that if i'm doing verse one then i'm taking authority over everything we see that paul writing about the spirits that we have to deal with in the book of ephesians and so what we're going to do is we're going to take some time before we're about to close here but we're going to take some time we're going to pray for those in authority okay now the gears are turning i can smell the smoke coming out right now the gears are turning haven't been working for a while but i'm here you know put some wd-40 in there it'll get them going okay well who do i pray for now now put the rocks down all right whatever your theology is whatever your doctrine is whatever your belief is whatever profits you're listening to whatever's going on i'm telling you right now as of the 6th when we had that horrible mess in dc okay since that time when when the all of the politicians came back in and brought in the electoral votes and voted the electoral votes came out officially well i think something's going to take place well you think whatever you want to think i don't know all i know is right now as far as the constitution goes the legality in america right now officially the party in power starting on the 20th will be the the uh biden harris party that's the way it came out i think something else could happen well if it does you know i'll pat you on the back great you know all i know is all we can do is do what we know to do okay that decision was made by uh those that are in power well i don't know if it's legal or not that's not my department right now my only department is to pray for those that are in authority and let me say something else here [Applause] i'm on a roll now i'll say something else we also have a man that has been gone through hell for four years he's been falsely accused he's been impeached he's had documents drawn up against him he's had every devil in hell trying to get him out of office and right now the whole nation is trying to turn against him and i'll tell you what until all this settles down donald j trump is still in the place of presidency and let's put it this way if you'd have been through everything he's been through would you want somebody praying for your health your mental state your decision-making i think if we if we just say well i'm gonna pray for this person and i'm not going to pray for this one as far as i can tell right now everything's kind of hanging in a balance the decision has been made on the 20th as far as we know there will be there will be a a service okay all right as far as we know i believe whatever you want to believe i'm not even i'm not getting in the middle of the politics all i'm saying is whoever's there we better be praying for them well i think it's going to be trump well if you think so then you need to be praying for him well i think it's going to be biden harris well if you think so you need to be praying for them because both of them are in a position where we ought to be praying for all of them anybody in any decision-making location we need to be praying for them i'm telling you what if i was in any of their positions i would want all of you praying for me i don't know how to be honest with you i don't know how that man has put up with what he's put up with for four years i don't know i look at him think i wonder if i'd be crawled up in the corner somewhere saying god take me home i don't know i'm not picking sides on this thing all i'm saying is if we're going to do with the body if we want these spirits to not operate in our nation and i'll say this we're praying in the past few weeks about this and there's those same three spirits political financial racial right and there's a fourth one i'm not even going to go into that but there's a fourth one that's out there working i got a pretty general good general idea of what it is probably won't even go into it because i can't say i've heard from the word of the lord probably won't even go there but i believe there's four what do we do about that pray for kings and those that are in authority so we're going to start this thing out we're going to start this thing out doing what we're told to do first of all we're going to pray how about that if you want to sit and pray if you want to stand and pray if you want to walk and pray if you want to kneel and pray if you want to lay down and eat carpet and pray whatever you're comfortable we're going to pray we're going to pray for kings and for those that are in authority okay we're going to pray we're going to pray for president donald trump we're going to pray for president biden and vice president harrison goes oh which one is it well you know as far as we know politically it is it has been settled concerning biden harris okay as far as we know right now well i think something's going to happen well if you keep on thinking let's pray for all of them and let god just jump out and do the best he can do but the church is going to be doing our job praying my only job is not to god's not paying me to think if he is the pay is really low for that job no he's encouraged me to pray my prayer avails much and so does yours so he goes well i just don't know if i'm praying well if you just can't get settled in that right now pray in tongues you can't go wrong with that how about that i've gone long enough let's stand to our feet father in the wonderful name of jesus we come boldly before the throne of gay grace he said you said in your word the fervent effectual heartfelt continued prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available dynamic and it's working lord our prayers make a difference and lord i got it settled this morning i got it settled this morning you weren't telling us to spend years dealing with devils and trying to run them

him we pray for his mind we pray for his family we pray for his health we pray for his well-being we pray for his stability we pray father thy will be done in his life oh lord [Music] and then we prayed your father because of the electoral college just in the last week because of that dear father we do have the biden uh harris team that's been put in by electoral votes so father to go by that to go by that it means that they are in a position of authority at this time and so we know to pray for them and father for the representatives for congress for the house for senate we pray for them dear father hallelujah and father as it looks like as it looks like one party could end up controlling the house the senate and the white house we pray father for that party we pray they'll have an invasion of the goodness of god we pray they'll not be able to manifest some of their evil beliefs pray something will get invaded where they'll not be the party of abortion they'll not be the party of godlessness we ask you dear lord invade that you had a really evil guy years ago killing people his name was saul of tarsus but he had an encounter with the king of kings then he wrote half the new

that they have been given a real favor in some situations in the government setting and what they're doing is very important it's really good some of them i believe have an assignment to be able to speak into the lives of some people in political places okay so i don't want to back up and go anything like that just plain wrong all we're supposed to do is pray no what i'm saying is this week we have our assignment to pray that's our mandate is to pray i believe there are people i know of a few people and i watch them and i think they've got a real wisdom to bring a godliness into some situations god's given them an open door so i i'm not saying there aren't places where it wouldn't be correct for people to have a voice into political settings all i'm saying is for this week we're just going to take the politics we're going to push it all aside and we're going to pray we're going to go pray for our nation we're going to leave politics outside the building you know if you won't pick it back up when you go outside it'll be there waiting for you we're just not going to bring politics in here because what we need to do is we need to stay scriptural hallelujah glory to god glory to god hallelujah well paul never talked about such and such such and such and paul's they didn't have an option it's the roman empire you didn't pray about who you're going to vote for you just hope they didn't take your head off [Music] okay so there was a different day back then they didn't have the they didn't have the choices we have we have choices which means we have responsibility which means we need to be praying which means we we need to we need to ask god for his highest is richest and his best in our nation so the church can can go forth in all freedom of religion high moral standards hallelujah well i don't think we're going to go i this was just our launch this was first out of the blocks i don't think we're gonna go back i don't think we're gonna circle back to this at all i got some other things stirring number of other things stirring on the inside we'll we'll take a turn on this so if this if you didn't like this one come back you'll like tonight how about that
