Rediscovering The Prayer Template of Jesus | Dr. Myles Munroe

thank you for joining us for another power packed message from dr miles monroe provided by monroe global incorporated and monroeglobal.com we transform followers into leaders and leaders into agents of change we hope that this message is a blessing to you as you advance your life and discover your purpose now let's go into the message the kingdom [Music] defines everything in the bible just write that down you'll figure that out in 10 years it took me a while to figure that out i've heard people say dr monroe how do you make things so simple that that can be so complicated to others and how come when you say something it makes sense to me for the first time and my answer is because i understand the kingdom you cannot translate or interpret the bible outside the kingdom concept it's impossible if you don't interpret the bible through the concept of the kingdom you will result in error and i hope our pastors in this room are listening to me carefully please all those who in pastoral ministry you are involved in any form of leadership in this ministry in cell groups or whatever remember what i'm telling you you cannot understand the bible in its true context if you take it out of the kingdom context that goes for everything and the kingdom is not a religion the kingdom is a country when jesus used the time kingdom he was talking about a literal place a country he called it the kingdom of heaven heaven is a real place it's more real than earth heaven produced earth the bible says the things that are unseen created the things that are seen heaven is unseen it's the invisible world it's more real your body is not as real [Music] as your spirit so the earth is not more real than heaven heaven produced it and so heaven is a kingdom it's a country and god used the term because he was trying to communicate all the concepts of kingdom activity so that man could relate to it the kingdom is a country ruled by a king it has a government a real government in the kingdom of heaven the government is a person it's not like your government our government is not the cabinet you may think it is it's not the prime minister it's not the president of your country the government is a very complicated thing in our democracies the government includes the executive which is the prime minister's office it includes the cabinet which is the appointed group by the prime minister it is the senate it's a separate group of people it is the parliament which includes the opposition and the government leaders who are members of parliament it includes the attorney general's office it includes the supreme court justices it includes the ministries of government like education and economics and all that is government but when you talk about a kingdom they don't exist it's a person the king is the government so the king doesn't need to consult with any other group to make a decision or create a law so when you read the bible you'll find in many places this statement who can counsel the lord and it's not a suggestion it's a rhetorical question which means no one does god consult concerning his decisions so a kingdom is a country and as a government god used that concept so that you can understand his words in my first book on the kingdom which is the most important book for you to read on the kingdom because in that book i dealt with concepts and concepts help you understand words in that book i talk about all the concepts in the kingdom one of them is petitioning and i want to talk about that tonight you cannot petition in a religion petition is a legal word from the courts of law the word petition in hebrew is the word we translate as prayer so prayer is not a religious activity and that's tough for you to accept right now because you came out of a religious background that taught you religious activities and therefore prayer is stuck into this religious ritual that you go through and thus you get no results and so we have to change our concept so i want to talk to you about the prayer of jesus but i want to focus on it from a different perspective write this title down i want to talk to you about rediscovering the prayer template of jesus what is a template jesus gave us a template the template was given to us as a result of a question they asked him and it was a question that you still ask today how do we pray so he gave them a template stop telling people this is the lord's prayer it is not the lord's prayer it is a template they asked him the question how do we pray now he couldn't give you you know a prayer for you to repeat for the rest of the life on earth so he was giving us something we missed he was giving us a template the template is the procedure that you should use when you approach the government to make a petition write that down jesus gave us what a template that provides the procedure that you use for petitioning a government so when you study the prayer the template that he gave us everything is in it that is necessary for you to approach your government and get answers quoting the lord's so-called prayer does not get you results because it was a template those of you who who have computers and laptops in this room and ipads you know that in your experience with a computer when you buy a computer right it comes with some software on it am i correct pastor dave yes and in that software you'll find different programs that provide templates the templates there are only used as a guide for you to follow a form or a procedure they got templates in your computer some you don't even know it's there but it's there for example how to layout a newsletter it came free it's in your computer now how to layout memos and they give you 20 different types of memos you never use them they got a template in your computer that shows you how to create a brochure you ain't got to go to a graphics artist it's in your computer just drop in your information now this is important a template is the structure that comes with the product but the template does not have the substance you have to put the information that you want in the template jesus gives us a prayer template it is a procedure for you to approach your father god who is the judge and the government and you are the citizen and he tells you put in whatever you need in this template it's already laid out for you you ain't got to try and create the structure i gave you the structure are you clear yeah so if you if you read the lord's prayer it's like reading the information in the template it doesn't apply to you so i you know at the end of these religious meetings that you all have they say and now let us pray the lord's prayer and folks who have cut come on talk to me high on something you know all kind of vagabonds they've separated they know it our father who art in heaven and they quote this prayer and god doesn't hear a word why they're using a template that has no meaning so it's like asking me how do i write an executive memo that was their question i say let me show you so i go to your computer and i click on template then i click on executive memo and four memos come up i said now which one do you want which one looks the way you want it i want that one good now you got to put in your own information but you got the procedure don't send the person you're writing to the template we keep selling god the template we keep giving back to god the template and god says i don't know what you're talking about this you send back the structure i want the substance and there's a difference so the disciples asked jesus a question let's read it luke chapter 11. one day he was praying in a certain place and when he was finished praying one of his disciples came and asked him lord teach us to pray that was the question teach me how to write effectively a memo to an executive teach me how to approach a judge in a court and not get thrown out teach me how to prepare a case for me to get what i'm rightfully deserving from a court that was the question teach me how to proceed with the procedure to get what i want please remember if you take it out of the context of a kingdom you will make this a religious act so they're asking him about a legal procedure because remember they said he is messiah messiah means king it's not a religious word it's a politician but a king is also what the government they said thou art the christ the word christ means anointed king you don't come to a king as if you're coming to some mushy person who you have to manipulate and corn them into doing what you want a king is a government that has legal proceedings he has boundaries you know people boy religion is something else the bible in your hand is called what the new and old testament write that down this is not a devotional book there are lawyers in this room will tell you that the word testament has nothing to do with religion they'll tell you ask them in school they have to study that a testament is a legal document so the bible in your hand right now is a legal document when you go before the court and you have a case and the lawyer wants to prove your case who do they bring to the courtroom to help you what's the word witness okay what does the witness do say it's slow say it like a pentecostal see now here you are in a legal courtroom and you're using a religious word you think you never thought about it huh there's no testimony in religion it's only in a courtroom because it has to do with a testament you are losing you are using a legal document to make a case that's why it's called testament you are testifying you are sitting on the witness stand telling god based on the law you promised me this and i qualify as a law-abiding citizen so i have a right justice righteousness to demand what the legal document promised me it's called petitioning god doesn't answer every prayer don't believe it james was very close to jesus one of his favorite disciples matter of fact these three were very close to jesus peter james and john james was with jesus all the time most of the time they were tight you know what jesus you know james wrote james says you ask and you have not he wrote that he said you pray and god don't answer he you ask and you have not and he told us why he said because you ask but you miss you say i miss you miss he says and you talk plenty and get no results because it doesn't matter how much you talk if the procedure is wrong the judge shuts down the case nothing makes a judge more angry than a lawyer unprepared do you know why because the lawyers supposed to know the procedure so you come before god with all your snares and your snort and you're crying and you know and god said look i don't understand this speak to me in testament testify how am i going to testify i have to use the testament you petition with law write that down please it's hard to teach the kingdom because the kingdom puts law back in its rightful place and we hate law because we love grace and somehow we have developed a religion that hates law and lives on grace jesus told a story we read it before in this series where a widow went to see a judge remember that story if you read that the judge didn't give her anything because she was a widow or because she was poor the bible says she came to the judge because she knew her rights rights come from law it doesn't come from grace what grace does is put you back in the position so you could obey the law are you with me if you break the law in the bahamas or in any country you are in and you are found guilty they can put you in prison right take you out of the society the judge could decide you know something i like you because this is your first you know whatever you call it offense that's the word either first your first offense the judge has prerogative it's called prerogative he can say because this is your first offense you ain't getting away you know the judge says i'm gonna take your offense and if anybody asks you how you got out let them come talk to me in other words you didn't get away he took your offense on himself and he says i am going to let you go that's grace are you with me that's forgiveness that's grace that's mercy well you run out of the court and you go dancing praise the lord i'm free but judging now before you go i got one thing to say and he always says it don't come back here what's he saying by that go out and obey the law again not forget the law so grace is given to keep law not to destroy law i quote jesus i did not come to destroy the law or the prophets that spoke them but i came to actually enforce it he says and if any man breaks one of these laws he's considered least in my kingdom country he was a country but if any man teaches and keeps these laws he's considered what great in my country lawless people god can't deal with you are useless to god but we love grace because it allows us to break law that's how you sin i know you're saying you know that's how you sin i got you figured out you sin like i used to sin i used to plan to sin tomorrow and i would plan what i can do afterwards i can go and ask god to forgive me so i'm using grace to plan my sin the apostle paul says do not use grace as a license to break the law this is a legal transaction so the disciples are asking jesus a question teach us how to what pray take the word pray out because you're still religious i can see it in your eyes put the word petition go teach us how to petition let's put another word in there teach us how to have the procedure correct to get what we petitioned from the government that was the question they said because according to us john is getting results and we ain't getting that let's see what he does what does he answer the fact that he acts they were asking him to teach them is a result of some important things one it means that prayer is not automatic it must be taught it must be learned it is a legal procedure and lawyers are retained to prepare us to follow the procedure and therefore that's why he gave you your own lawyer who is your lawyer he told you he said you don't understand this uh this constitution he said so i made provisions for you i gave you a personal legal adviser he actually calls him the their counselor in this room ask them what they call them they are called counsellors this exact word jesus used it's the word para cletus in hebrew paracletus is a legal word for a lawyer as a matter of fact let me blow your mind the pharisees and scribes were completely different from each other the pharisees were religious leaders the scribes were lawyers so when jesus spoke to them he was speaking to both religious people and legal minds and he called them both hypocrites why they were using the law to oppress the people are you following me okay so jesus knows that you need a lawyer because this stuff can be very complicated and so he said this would read my list now you'll understand his words he said i will give you a comforter and he will abide with you even the holy spirit the counselor watch him now and he will guide you into all truth and he will teach you and show you the things i try to show you in other words when it gets complicated the lawyer begins to interpret the complicated parts for you that's why you have the holy spirit so that you can make proper petition sometimes the request is so deep he said you need to shut your mouth and let the counselor talk himself we call it tongues speaking in tongues is when the counselor says let me handle this for you the apostle paul says in romans chapter 8 he says there are times when we don't know what to petition for come on remember that verse he said because we are weak in our preparation we can't decide what to pray in other words you might be wondering let's say if a country has a referendum and you don't know how to how to choose or what to do the bible says pray in the spirit because you'll be so confused you don't know what's right or wrong yes or no god says i want you to leave that alone and let the lawyer take over and pray in the spirit it says because the holy spirit knows the mind of god and he knows the will of god and he helpeth us in our infirmity and he prays for us it says in utterances that cannot be understood that means he's prayed in the spirit language i think all of us in the room would agree that when lawyers start talking we don't know what they're talking about you know the language can be very confusing and the same thing with doctors when doctors start talking about your own body you gotta say interpret that for me please because they use words and concepts that are so different that you have to be trained to understand them the holy spirit knows how to pray better than anybody because he was assigned to you by the government can i use the term the holy spirit is your heavenly prosecutor the good thing about our government is it gave you a prosecutor who never leaves you you have him all the time you can consult him he will guide you teach us to pray means teach us the procedure that makes us successful in our appeal in our petition is anybody okay with me right now do you understand what i'm saying please what i'm teaching is the most important thing you know about prayer and you never heard it because people keep putting the prayer in a religion when in fact it is in a country you don't approach god as a religious person you approach him as a legal powerful king that's why he gave you a book of law the bible is called the laws of god not the suggestions of god not the emotions of god the law of god all right so jesus begins to answer them and he gives them what i call a patent the prototype let's go through it very quickly you gotta write fast it's gonna be good but you gotta listen fast all right first he begins now we know prayer is what petition so petition is a legal appeal or a demand on a government based on constitutional rights protected by law the constitution is the bible the law are the principles by which you use to demand things that he promised you and your rights have to do with your being under the constitutional laws of god you got to be born again of the spirit so there's some qualifications here for you to pray petition also is the demands of citizens based on guaranteed rights no one who's an illegal citizen in this country could demand anything from the government so if you're not born again of the holy spirit and follow the holy spirit receive him as your lord and savior and your king you cannot pray to god the first prayer god will hear from a human who is not a citizen is i repent forgive me i receive the kingdom of god i receive the holy spirit god i hear that prayer it's like submitting to the requirements of citizenship let me quote jesus if any man would believe in his heart and confess with his mouth he shall be saved that's the citizenship qualification if you ain't never done that forget prayer it's going right to the roof punching back down because you're not a citizen you cannot demand from a government that you don't relate to illegal citizens have no rights so petition requires citizenship position is also simply reminding the government of what is constitutionally promised to you every city citizens constitution in every country is simply a legal promise if you read our constitution that's what it is just a list of promises we promise you that if you are a citizen you have these rights the bible is a book of promises but they are legal promises and you must be a citizen to qualify so you can make demands and when you demand them it is called petitioning petitioning is what you call prayer it's not a religious act it is a legal transaction so let me go to pray to god in a few minutes you can't come to god with mushy feelings and all this stuff and just blabbering your mouth you got to come with hard evidence hallelujah that's why you need to read the bible the reason why you don't read the bible because you don't know what the bible is the bible is material for petitioning you cannot demand from god which he never promised you or you cannot demand from god what you don't remember he promised you or you cannot demand from god what you don't even know he promised you am i making sense so you better go home and pick that bible up and make this this year the year of the constitution and read the whole book there are promises in zephaniah that you you cannot know because you know the book of zephaniah is it's right before hege which is right next to zechariah which is right before malachi if you don't know whether the sections of the constitution is you can't find the promises how are you going to pray but you start praying all this funny prayer god's i don't know what you're talking about i'm looking for evidence evidence is based on the constitutional promise god says i watch over my word to perform it i don't watch over your labyrinth so if you don't give me my word back i can't perform it okay so when we pray we're supposed to pray with precision with confidence knowing uh first john says chapter 5 he says if we pray according to the will of god watching this we know that he hears us he didn't say if you pray by spitting on the ground rolling over staying up all night hawking spitting snort on your nose crying weeping screaming he'll hear you no he doesn't it says if you pray according to what he intended for you to have in the first place that's what will means then you know that he want hears you now the next verse if he hears you you also know that you have the jax because if he told you to say it because he wrote it then he says he'll perform what he wrote so you can walk away saying i got it prayer should not be you know a hit and miss hope he should be a precision that widow went to that courtroom ah she didn't care what kind of judge that was and the bible described the judge jesus said this judge hated people and god you can't find no one worse than that the guy hated god and people the bible says kisses he chose the worst description he said and the little widow the worst level of society walked in there and she says i come for my rights i don't care who you are or how you feel about me and the bible says she wore him out and he says give her what she comes for at least she killed me a little widow brought down a massive judge not because of screaming loud prayer doesn't impress god no you're going to forgive me you know but i was brought up and be in town i've seen some prayer meetings i've been in some of them in a wooden church man beast yeah this is interesting i've been in those meetings one time they prayed for me i would break my neck bless him lord fix him come on boy speak say something more and i'm like oh god woman you're killing me so i just say something so she could stop they call them primitives and things never change did they never changed because it's not what you do is how you do it all right so jesus begins to teach them he says first of all here's the template our father who is where in heaven hallowed be your name thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven now each one of those statements is a separate act it's a separate concept our father that's a concept who is in heaven that's a concept that's a template hallowed be your name that's a concept thy kingdom as a concept come on earth as a concept as it is in heaven as a separate concept give us today that's a concept he didn't say give us a month god don't give monthly things he guides you day by day if you missed the concept you pray wrong give us today what daily bread that's a concept and forgive us that's a separate concept that means bigger problems as we forgive those that's a separate concept something you got to do that trespass has a different concept against us not god when someone trespassed against you it didn't say you must demand them to forgive you you missed the concept he said no matter what happened you must forgive them or your petition shuts down read it carefully it's a careful prayer it's a template lead us not into temptation as a concept deliver us from evil matter of fact the word is the evil one specifically in hebrew for the kingdom is yours it's an interesting template all right i want to quickly go to the template and you got to read this with me fast and right fast okay the first one is our father he begins with the most important thing our he said when you come to the court you don't just come representing yourself so when you want to petition your government you are representing all the citizens so you come on behalf of not just yourself but the community of the faith our means unselfish then he says father father is a concept it's not a name it's a function the word father means abba hebrew pata greek it means the source the sustainer the supplier that's what the word means the word father means source and sustainer that that alone is enough to just you know shout out he said when you come to petition the person you are petitioning is the source of everything you need abba means source it means supplier in other words you must first identify god jehovah as your source of life substance sustenance and owner of everything now this is important when you approach your government you must acknowledge that government owns everything so you ain't asking someone who can't answer our community father source now why is this important because the next statement where's your sauce he takes your sauce from earth and places it where it belongs your source he says is not on earth your source is in heaven our source is our father who owns everything our supply is not limited to earth is what he's saying if what you ask for that i promise you is not on earth i'll make it for you lord have mercy i'll create things because i own the scene and the unseen your father your source stop stop thinking that way see everybody say father you think of a person that's religious thinking your father your source is not on earth so when you approach prayer petitioning you must get this complete idea that i am talking to someone who owns it all so i don't trust no one else around me that's why i come into you god i'm coming to you because ain't nobody could help me and you got what everything you own everything so prayer is with confidence no matter how big the request is once you find it in the doctrine in the document in this in the testament you can ask for it you know what god said and we can pray that tonight in a minute god says ask me for the nations and i will give them to you that is in the bible you could come before god say god give me the bahamas give us back the bahamas you want god say i heard your prayer that's a good petition and then you quote the verse thus it says in article 5 subsection psalm article 45 asked me for the nation see you told me that i want that you can ask for haiti you can ask for jamaica it's in the document and the bible says the nations are the lords can i quote it the earth is the lord's and the fullness thereof the world as the nations and they the people that dwell in them they belong to him the word lord means owner you can actually ask god for a country he promised it and he's big enough to deliver it because why he is abba what is abba sauce owner so right away your prayer changes you're not begging anyone who can deliver father who's in heaven holy is your name very important word holy means pure but most importantly it means different you know sometimes people walk around and they wear long dresses and long face and long gloves and long you know teeth and long everything and they think they're holy holiness it's not a dress it's a disposition holiness has more to do with you being distinct from other people because of your standard so christ is saying when you come before god here's the template you're talking to someone who ain't like nobody you know holy means peculiar peculiar means you are different from every other god if i can use that term on every other human so i can't put you in nobody's class he said when you come before this judge there ain't no judge like him don't compare him to nobody he is different distinctive i'm so glad he's not like you because one day you up next day you down and i might come to you on a down day he is perfect holy is what your name write the word name down name is not a tag name in hebrew means being b-e-i-n-g being name means the character of a thing it means the very essence the quality of it this is why when you read the bible you find that god is high on names because in the hebrew context you see in this behavior context don't make no sense in a hebrew mind the bible is a hebrew book in hebrew the word name is the thing it's not a label so when you say to him holy is your name you're saying holy is your very being that means you are totally completely transparently perfect there's nothing in you that is unrighteous your character is pure you have no ulterior motives you cannot lie because the lie you got to be able to hide something you can't even hide you're so pure name holy is your entire character different is your essence name by the way uh maybe we'll talk about this you know some other time on top of prayer but when you try to pray in the name of jesus they got to use the word you know and ain't talking about using the word my son i assigned him to take over all my business on my private investments and everything else and i took him to all my bankers introduced him i took him to my lawyer introduced him i took him to my agent my insurance agent introduced him and every time i met with them i say now he is now doing business in my name he never have to use my name so jesus said when you go to the father what's the father what's the word sauce he says ask anything in my name he's transferring to you the legal authority to do business in his character he even got to use the name so if you are not under his character you cannot ask anything from god are you getting this so don't tie this five-letter word onto the back of your prayer i've heard some of the dumbest things lately dumb things i've heard people say and there's some folks in the bahamas getting kind of caught up in this thing about names and i say well you know are the names of jesus no you should say yahweh you should say elohim you say yeshua oh shut up i'm thinking who's taking them this stuff it's not in the word it's the character whether you use yahweh or yeshua or jesus it doesn't matter if you ain't in the character you're gonna get nothing let me give you an example i want you tomorrow to go to my bank fidelity one of my bikes i want you to go in there i'm telling you now go in there i'm telling you i'm sending you go in there and tell them you come in my name and you want money from my account what happens they say who are you and that's what see even though you may use the name if you ain't got the rights so it's not the the the monroe the letters monroe is something different i gave my son it's called write this down power of attorney i gave him legal power to use my character so the bike might not like him but they like me that's why he says don't use your name he says come in my name to the father because the father may have problems with your problems you know you got issues but if you come in their character the essence of jesus he says if my son sent you you get it that's why the blood of jesus is so important the blood is the attorney power to do business in the name of your king am i coming claire i want you to be smart prayer warriors so you don't waste your time praying 10 hours and i get nothing you could pray in 10 minutes you know and get something if you pray right so name means the character god's character and being is like no other that's what it means holy thy kingdom come means when you approach god your template says pray for his country to come this is important you know most of the time you go for god to pray and we got this long list you know rice flour beans let me give god this long list clothing for the children shoes for mary you know rent payment that's your problem you don't pray for things in the kingdom of god oh boy everything you need is in the country so just get the country that's what he's saying pray for the whole country to come stop asking for things it's like it's like you asking me for a mango and i say would you like the tree if you get the mango you can keep coming back but if i give you the tree you get the sauce with you eat someone give you the whole country don't pray for things matter of fact this is why our president answered remember jesus said in matthew 6 24 he says why do you pray what you will worry about which you will eat what you would drink which you will wear how you will live he says only pagans pray for those things you've been a pagan a long time and calling it a christian and most christians probably are pagans what is the pagan anyone who prays for food clothing water drink jesus said if you pray for things you are a pagan that's what jesus said not me you don't pray for the things you pray for the whole culture to come because everything you need is in the culture sometimes i wish i could teach my voice are so weak i went to boca raton invited by a very wealthy jew his home was about three million dollars i was picked up in a porsche and that was his sports car we drove in to this neighborhood hey hey ah yeah means rat that's where the big rats live pulled up in the garage there was five garage doors and i was just in a porsche right away i knew i'm in a whole new world here he drove in the door went up by itself and we drove in dog came down by itself he says welcome home my wife cooked for you stepped up the car looked around and i saw three motorbikes all harley davidsons brand new no one used them yet and i looked over the line i saw a rolls royce a bentley two mercedes he's okay we went into the side door from the garage not the front door and the kitchen was as big as my house it's okay it's not a food must be in this kitchen i saw five refrigerators i'm thinking what's going on here so you can't even imagine look at your head fine i just tried to get one in the living room it was like my backyard they had a tv big as that screen and they had seats in front of it like a movie theater it's a living room where you watch tv it's like a movie theater like you know 15 chairs in a row is this a serious business here the dining room was sunken and the table seat 26 people i looked down like this i was in another world and that man never talked about money my point is this there's a culture in the neighborhood pray for the culture i even got to worry about things and i walked in there his wife ran out nice ladies she read all my books they loved jesus and they showed me a shelf that all of my vhs teachings about 30 of them they said we ordered these you are our favorite teacher i mean shirt on the screen even turned it on everything was remote yes wave the thing came on anyway there's my picture on this big screen in this house i look so handsome the culture was different no one talks about wealth in that neighborhood he says pray for the country to come my kingdom what come he said the template is don't ask to go to it you pray for it to come to you on earth and come means it is possible you've got to get that man but you know we can really have a good wait until we get to heaven that's not what jesus said well the kingdom can't come and tell you no jesus come again that's not what he said read the template jesus christ would not ask you to do something that was not possible if he asked you to demand something not possible he's a liar so if he said that it come it means it can come we ignore his prayer his template you can have kingdom experience now i'm living it i'm telling you i'm feeling it all in my life and the more i learn it the more it takes over your life that's why i keep teaching it to you you gotta it's like you gotta be cleansed from religion to experience the kingdom it can happen now next word your will be done what does it mean your will means your purpose your intent the word will means intention a constitution is actually the constituted intention of the people's desires for themselves so in a kingdom the constitution is the king's intended desires for the citizen are you clear so the constitution is the will of the people jesus said when you approach your country your government pray for the government's will intention to happen on earth where god intended in other words what was god's original purpose for creating earth let that come what is his purpose for his people on earth let that come in other words you pray for that to happen on earth it's possible so he said ask for it in other words will being done means that everything on earth comply and submit and function as he created them to function he wants heaven to show up on earth not in the next millennium now i know some of you think i'm crazy it's okay people think you know boy you far-fetched you know you you actually believe the kingdom of god can manifest in your country in its laws and values and culture the answer is yes i believe that otherwise this can be a mess to live in the rest of my life this can be the way i go out not the way things are now i don't know about you but i can't live like this for the rest of my life the garbage that's going on in our culture we got to ask for another culture and he said it's possible number six on earth on earth means the physical planet he says i want my kingdom to literally affect the physical earth the natural creation of where people say that like this they say well you know the king of god is a spiritual thing you know and you can't really you can't get it mixed up in politics that's natural it means an education that's not too natural can't give any economics jesus lied he did not say thy kingdom come on heaven heaven is supernatural heaven is spiritual he said no i want it on earth the word earth in greek is the word tierra it means the physical dirt the actual planet i want to see heaven touch that comprende if you're walking around i'm just trying to tell you if they pass them out we're teaching it's true but it's a spiritual thing and let me think about this now okay so that means i got to put up with all this junk because what i am killing my life for can't happen where i live this is a waste of time you can live to be 80 and you can catch hell for 80 years because what you believe doesn't relate to where you live for 80 years this is the dumbest theology in the world anybody with me i feel lonely do you understand what i'm saying that's why i stopped being a christian because it didn't make no sense and look at your face religious people christians are interesting i remember i was born in one of them houses i grew up with a baptist pastor man we say things like my lord owns the cows on a thousand hills we couldn't eat steak we couldn't afford it my lord owns all the cattle on the thousand hills we couldn't buy milk so there's a contradiction if my father owns the cow where's the steak now if you tell me he owns spiritual cows invisible cows maybe i can get along and say okay then i can eat corned beef or maybe i gotta eat some sardines but don't tell me he owns a cousin thousand in here and i can't get milk am i making sense some of you are sitting you don't talk about it you've been to church man this stuff don't work this don't make no sense and i gotta spend 80 years talking about something i can't experience that's why you're frustrated and trying to learn this kingdom thing it's fighting with all that religion man it's so tough so he said i want my king to come on earth earth is the planet now how do you change things on earth you change it by the world you create oh boy i'm getting too deep here okay do you know that no country no no yeah oh boy i gotta try to explain this to you look at me please it's very deep no country on earth is evil it is the nation that is evil let me explain the country is the land the nation is the systems that control the land we call it the world the earth is the land the world is the system in order to affect the earth you got to control the world is that clear are you sure so when he says pray thy kingdom come on earth he's telling you take over the world let my kingdom system hits the world system and then the earth will be covered with heaven you cannot have a righteous country if you don't have righteous laws if you have a corrupt government that's the system you'll have a corrupt country that's the result let me quote a verse the earth is the lord's what is that the physical planet the world and they the systems also he says are supposed to be his that's his will christians are amazing people that's why i don't you know i don't mix with them no more christians say things like this uh righteousness exalts a nation and sinners reproach okay that sounds good and that's in the bible how does righteousness exalt the nation first you need to have righteousness in the nation but we teach the people stay away from politics stay away from money stay away from being powerful save you from having a lot of money stay just be poor and holy it's this contradiction you cannot preserve the earth until you influence the world and you'll be learning that for the next nine months from me i'm going to teach you that nothing happens on earth until the world changes what is the world the governing powers he says pray for that pray for that the kingdom is the world the earth is the territory is that sinful so he wants the kingdom to come to earth the kingdom is what the governing system of heaven he wanted to come to earth we're not talking about religious government we're not talking about you know killing people and like the muslims you know taking over you know that's what we're talking about we ain't talking no bahamas spring oh you're so slow you you don't know about that oh my god you haven't heard of the arab spring where the people are taking over the government that's not what god's talking about he's talking about he says he said it's supposed to happen like yeast you go everywhere all of a sudden they realize you all over the place are you affecting law and legislation and values and morals and standards and they don't know how it's happening he says this thing all through the door and now the door is fully ease and the country becomes righteous he said pray for that number seven like it is in heaven it's the template he's saying pray that the same government in heaven will be on earth pray for the same authority system the same values the same morals the same standards of heaven would come to earth the same culture the same lifestyle just like it is in heaven he said pray for it to come to petition me let me ask you a question if god says petition him for the culture of heaven to come to earth then is that possible yeah so heaven ain't got no crime no rape no incest no abuse no fornication no adultery no homosexuality no lesbianism no cussing no lying no stealing no no shooting he says now okay he says now pray for that whole culture of heaven to come to your country and here we are in our country dealing with referendum for gambling i have no idea what you're going to do but listen to this message your question should be it's gambling in heaven i i can't answer that for you you know but the you know the the the testimony i read on heaven you know gambling there so evening i discussed this if you vote for something that's not in heaven to come to earth then you are voting against god how's that for a decision you got to make the issue is not about how big the groups are what kind of church they wear even the religious people don't come in this you won't know is it in heaven that's the standard you can pray for god to bring heaven to earth when you mess in a birth with your vote it don't make no sense that's why it's impossible to pray this prayer petition this prayer and then sin because you are canceling your own prayer there's no adultery in heaven so how could you pray and then be committing adultery you've canceled the prayer are you getting the template okay look at number eight give us today our daily bread you know what that means give me suppliers us means not just me boy do do we pray selfishly oh god i got this light bill don't know where it's coming from lord you're a great god you're powerful lord here's like meet the need of my light bill what about the others he said the template is always bring the community with you pay everybody's life bill lord supply for everybody what they need provide tuition for everybody children we just pray for our kids i need gas in my car what about the other cars sitting behind you say lord let the heaven of heavens come to earth in our gas tank our give us look at the next word today god says i don't want you to ask a bunch of stuff i want daily supply petition the government of heaven for daily supply daily supply now this really blessed me when i understood it the the hebrew word for day here has to do with measure for example on monday you might need five thousand dollars and on tuesday maybe just twenty dollars what he's saying is it doesn't matter some days you need more than others so it doesn't matter what you need as long as this you needed that day he's going to supply that am i coming through but this is the part i like bread he's not referring to the loaf in your kitchen the hebrew concept of bread means everything necessary for life that's why they call it the bread of life bread is not a flower and what a big thing in the hebrew language bread means everything i need to live he says demand that from the government and that might mean friendships good relationships networks health a sound mind whatever you need for life he says demand that from me because in me you live and move are you happy now so he ain't talking about the loaf stop praying for food he says pray for everything necessary for you to have a good citizen life you know that includes getting married hmm you might be praying for his spouse god says you don't you you don't need it for life right now that mess of your life you get that right now so so you you got to pray safely give me what i need for my life because right now you don't need a spouse that can come in three years right now you need some help i gotta prepare you for that so he answers the prayer because the prayer is so proper are you with me bread means everything it's a big word in hebrew that i need for life and godliness number nine forgive us our trespasses this is a heavy one forgiveness means to release people forgive me is the release this is important forgiveness implies that you are carrying someone you need to release there's some people who hurt you and you carrying them it's a wait i can never forget what he did to me i can never forget what she did to me and and oh my dear body i'll forgive that one you know if you if you only knew what they did and you carrying this thing and the person don't even know you carried it they're having a good time you know going all over the world getting on cruise a new home got this bitterness forgiveness is where you cut the rope you let him go he says when you come before the government make sure you ain't dragging nobody that you ain't got nothing tying up no one in your life you come with a clean hand up your heart forgive what our trespasses not just yours asking to forgive our whole corporate sin as a community of faith as a country we pray for the sins of our own country you take them on yourself and i was on radio today talking to the people and and i'm telling them i said some people miss me sometime because you know for me to tell someone i could explain it that's why i seem to teach long i can explain it let me tell you what i mean when i told him i said okay we are to blame for this situation in the bahamas right now all of us did you know that but i have to explain that all of us sin me too do you know why we didn't agitate for it to be legal illegal long time ago when it was small so you can't blame the government you can actually tell the government wait a minute the law says we demanded you carry it out we didn't so they didn't do it we didn't do it and we got a tumor so what do we do ask for corporate forgiveness father forgive us for allowing this to happen that's how you pray for your country tonight forgive all of us this ain't no plp fnm or dna this is me i did not demand righteousness forgive us our trespasses that's how daniel got his prayer i said you know daniel bought his nation sins on him you ever read the prayer of daniel it's a powerful prayer daniel says we have sinned against you my daddy was living clean you know fasting and praying he said but i don't care how clean i am i am a part of them and god save that nation our sins now this word take a deep breath and write this down quick trespass why does the bible use the word trespass all of us know that when someone trespass what are they doing in your property are you only answering me if someone is trespassing what are they doing they are wondering into your territory that's the exact word used in hebrew now most of us think that trespass is just like sin but trespass means you are wandering out of your lane trespass means you are straying away from god's purpose for your life and getting into other people's business trying to be something you are not trying to be someone you ain't born to be taking other people's positions he says repent of that get back in lane trespass means you are out of god's will for your life forgive me for leaving your assignment and meddling with other people that's what caused the offense we offend people because we're on their property their life is their property how can you wander on my life and try to take over my life you know the bible calls that witchcraft witchcraft is any attempt to control another human spirit and witchcraft is everywhere it's in the pulpit it's in marriages it's in companies it's in governments it's everywhere any attempt to manipulate people is witchcraft that's in the bible so don't think about the witchcraft you know is it juju poison there are people who which is in this room witchcraft in this room if you if you use your influence to hurt someone you are a witch because you are manipulating their spirit it's witchcraft you're trespassing causes asks forgiveness trespass trespass means moving into other people's positions some folks can't sing and they inquire they trespass trespassing you know it's messenger choir i know choir trying to sing and this person will join the choir and the whole choir is what affect it that's trespassing you need the bowels excuse me all right i made a mistake they say my anointing let me go back and be in usher you stay stay in your lane you you could you could upset the whole area if you trespass you trespass some people think they could do what i'm doing this is my territory you don't try this you destroy people if you ain't supposed to be doing something you disturb people not help them what is sin violating the known will of god again that's trespassing god's will if you do certain things you try to do something else that's sin sin is the word rebellion you're rebelling against your own position you're bailing against what god told you to do where he told you to be what he told you to say that's sin it's rebellion against the will of god all right okay let me close with this number 10. as we forgive those who what trespass against us what he's saying is we have to release people from invading our domain first of all and then we must also release them from conflict of purposes colliding release them forgive those who wander into your lane and confuse your life he says this is a template you pray this to your government and it's because you need to be pure when you come to your government you know there's a man named willie nelson he's a famous guitarist singer you all know billy nelson willie nelson made a lot of money making music but willie nelson was in pay in taxes and he had millions of dollars in the bank from his music and the irs finally figured out this man didn't pay a lot of money for taxes you know they did for him he was on this big tour you know with all these people coming to these big stadiums they didn't care they went picked him up they took him honest guitar uncle boy hat do you remember that story they took the fella to the court he stood before the judge and he told the judge i am really now sent judge says so what watch this now he said so what you didn't pay taxes yeah but now your honor do you know i am you know who i am the judge says listen to me you break the law your fame is cancelled in the face of law and the judge says you're going to go to jail take your guitar with you or pay your taxes that man had to pay millions of dollars in back taxes transparency here's the point i was making he was trying to make a demand but he wasn't qualified you come to god demanding things and god says you know something uh you you got offense i can't do business with you you break the law let me deal with you grace people jesus said when you come before the lord to ask for anything read my lips he said while you are standing there if the holy spirit reminds you that someone has ordered you do not offer your prayer it says jesus is talking go and find the person he says make it right first wait a minute but i thought grace was enough to handle this you know but the blood of jesus the covenant the blood jesus bless you he said no no no he says go and find them because you broke a law grace is no excuse for breaking the law lead is not the temptation that means help us to follow your spirit and discernment so we don't wander off into areas we shouldn't go submit to the protection of god's authority and you won't wander off temptation has to do with testing for weakness it's the boundaries god put in our lives he says stop testing the boundaries let me see how far i could go without having sex because wait a minute you are being led into temptation i'm gonna take her out but i could do nothing let's go by the beach and let's watch the moon set you know what i mean this is like leaders not where into areas that test the boundaries why he's trying to keep you qualified to make a petition he ain't trying to rob you from having a good time he's trying to protect your procedure in the court live right so you can be heard say it yeah you live right here he'll hear you the word temp means to test for weakness when you wander off into areas satan is waiting for you and you keep poking until you find a weak spot that's what temp means it means to test for weak areas and when you find it he grabs it choke your life out of you all of a sudden you find yourself wandering off into a world you never thought you'd go back to stay within the boundaries don't spend your energy trying to avoid sin spend your energy trying to do righteousness it's a different mindset see he that seek after what righteousness you don't seek staying away from sin you seek how to stay right with god he said you shall be filled deliver us from what the evil one that means keep us from the path of the influence of the adversary evil one means the one who will distract us from god's purpose and will for our lives and the devil is the number one assignee do you know what jesus called the devil that old tempter he's waiting to test you for weakness that's why we stay away from him he is dangerous because he's waiting to do his job he's the tester the bible says god tempts no man but a man is tempted when he moves out of his own lust who strays away testing the boundaries his kingdom people don't try to get away with nothing they try to do everything that's right and then your prayers are answered for yours is the kingdom that means that we are not to have our own kingdoms it's not our country our government and our authority and our values and our morals and our world and our lifestyle belong to him we ain't supposed to have our own lifestyle and then try to get stuff from him it's like trying to be a dual citizen if you are in his kingdom it's his kingdom he says you can't be in two kingdoms one foot in the world not a foot in in the kingdom of god because this ain't gonna work thine is the kingdom this is my kingdom you wanna do business with me you come over in my kingdom and live my lifestyle this is how you prepare to pray please get the cd there's too much information the power everybody's in the power that means the ability for him to bring the petition to pass is with him praise the lord when you make a request he says i got the power to bring it to pass the glory means i will produce it in a culture i will give you not just a something i'll give you the whole lifestyle the glory belongs to me i'll give you the imprint you'll begin to look like me walk like mine they'll know that you got your petition and let me say this last word amen be careful how you use the word amen ignorance is amazing i can all tell when a person is ignorant by the way they use amen you shouldn't say he meant a lot of things one time he had a preacher preaching under the devil is the evil devil and the devil will destroy you amen don't say amen to that amen so let it be let him destroy me see god say amen to everything and i know that you are a sinner amen no don't say amen to that if you're born again for the holy ghost and you've been forgiven but we are so ignorant we just say amen to anything amen is a hebrew concept it actually means let it happen just like you said it means i agree with god amen simply means i submit to the purpose of god it means that i surrender amen means we agree and submit to god's desire to fulfill his own will that's why the bible would say that the ancient heavens say amen they say amen god let your will come to earth amen but i don't feel too well amen don't say that anybody claire the reason why we end with amen is because we leave the courtroom knowing we got what we came for it's done that's what it means case closed i can leave now and expect it because let it be just like you promised me remember mary an angel came mary said amen you know but we translate it as be it unto me as you have spoken the word amen is there he said you have a child she said be it unto me like you've said it she was saying amen so we close the case by sealing it i get it so you walk out the courtroom and tell everybody everything i ask for i'm gonna get my friends i end the petition prototype the template so you can understand how to plea what is petition a legal document giving you evidence read this verse with me that you never saw before isaiah 43 verse 25 read i even i am he that blots out your transgressions for my own sake and will not remember thy sins now notice why god said he forgives you for whose sake he said look i want to answer your prayers but the next verse is mind-blowing next verse so that you can put me in remembrance let us plead together declare thou that thou may be justified these are legal terms look at that sentence these are big words for some of you the first statement is what put me in remembrance write down your notes remind me of what i said that's all they say petitioning a government does not require inventing requests it simply requires finding the request that was already written so god said when you come before me and all your sins are all in order everything is forgiven and you're clean and everything is straight he says now don't invent anything to say just bring me what i said and remind me that i said it petitioning what's the next word plead it is a legal word in hebrew plead means what plead your case matter of fact if you check come and check some of your bibles you'll see the actual words there plead your case it's in the bible please your case means you bring your case before the court how do you plead your case first you got to be a citizen qualified then you got to know your constitution and the laws and you got to know your rights that's why you plead the case prayer is pleading a case what's the last word you will be what justified justified means to have what is rightfully yours that's it so god forgives you for his sake because he don't want you to walk on the court and not get what you wanted god is not happy when you tarry all night prayer meeting and he can't answer the prayer because you didn't pray right putting in time doesn't make god answer prayer jesus said it one time to the pharisees on scribes he says he says you think you will be heard because of your much speaking no matter how long you pray god says it doesn't matter you can stand before the court outside and talk all you want and the judge says lock that nuisance up the nuisance but when you come in there with a procedure right the judge then has to respond and he responds based on what the constitution and the law so that's i hope is what we mean by pleading the case it means legal representation legal advocate legal defender legal protector legal rights legal voice legal researcher i like that one the holy ghost already research your case that's what lawyers do they research your case so when they come before the judge they could actually pull out what they call presidents i'm gonna snap the devil right now where the devil is i just felt the holy ghost on my back man i'm gonna hit the devil hey boy is a researcher research that's what lawyers do you pay them to do research what do they research cases what cases like yours okay so when you come before god you can say like this at a bible you can say lord you said you are my shepherd and i shall not want that's a promise okay so i claiming that right now in the character of jesus i command that to be done on earth i shall not want and then you say because your other servant said one time he have never seen the righteous forsaken nor his seed beg bread you're pulling up another case and then say lord abraham didn't have a round but you found a rhyme in the ticket he said pulling on cases god said i gotta give it to you you know your stuff that's pleading your case that's how you pray lord you did it for daniel you can do it for me you already proved that you can do it i got a case to prove it god says remind me remind me every case in this room is in that book every case you can't have children you're married you barren god's god got the case you need to go and pull the case out sarah baron 75 years no children so put on the case and i mean don't joke with it you know this is see if you fool around you won't get nothing you understand what you're doing now go pray it again now that you understand it lord according to deuteronomy 20 i prayed for a couple this morning who wanted to have children they wonder why i quoted deuteronomy 28 you know they think i'm just kidding i was grabbing a case deuteronomy 28 says the womb of the righteous this is the promise now shall be fruitful so i pulled the case i put pressure on god what's your case there's a case for every situation that's why you got to read the bible because you can't pull a case you don't know about are you with me you meet somebody who's a prostitute don't curse them don't get mad at them there was a prostitute in the bible you pulled the case out and you tell the prostitute you know something you can actually become the source of the messiah what are you talking about well there's a case in the bible of a prostitute named rahab and when the thieves when the vendors the secret agents came from moses to check the town out they lived with a prostitute and they told her that if you hide us we're gonna ask god to bless you and if that woman was the source of the lineage of jesus christ if you study her lineage she produced jesus so you got a case that every prostitute could be saved and used by god you get a case drug addict stay in the bible no one was a drug addict drink liquor like crazy clothes and everything naked god said use that man to start a new generation god can save alcoholics but you got a case you bring the case you say lord you've done it in this case you do it again am i right
