watching online we're so glad that you're with us tonight we're so glad to meet with jesus here's the thing this is tuesday night prayer that means the first tuesday of every month we come together to seek god first that's why we are here in this place and so what that means is we're going to worship we're going to pray we're going to rest and we're going to contend tonight that's all going to happen tonight see we believe that prayer is the ancient path it is the ancient future and that's where we're going think about this from the very beginning we had prayer and it's going to continue all throughout time it's going to continue think about this the first century church what did they do they devoted themselves to prayer you are here tonight because somebody devoted themselves to prayer you are in this room you're watching online you're in gainesville because somebody devoted themselves to prayer okay so the kingdom of god is not about respect to being a spectator it's not about doing that at all that's called entertainment you know what the kingdom of god is about it's about participating that's what's called worship and so tonight we're going to lean in like we've never leaned in before we're going to worship like we've never worshipped before as a matter of fact i want to challenge you that if whatever wherever you're at in worship i want to challenge you to take one more step beyond where you've ever been in worship wherever you're at in prayer i want to encourage you to take one step beyond where you've ever been in prayer and let's do that tonight god wants to shake up this place he wants to shake all the apathy out of your heart and out of your life listen to me church it's easy to be apathetic it's easy to fall into that trap but jesus wants you tonight to take off all of that apathy shake all of that off and put on the spirit of spirit of praise like let's lift our voice when we have a moment tonight to pray let's lift our voice with confidence in a god who loves us and who is here with us tonight can we do that church can we do that church come on lord we just invite you into this place we say holy spirit come and have your way in our hearts and in our lives jesus be at the center of everything that is done we worship you we honor you we rest in you we rest in the victory that we have in you in jesus name we pray come on let's worship [Music] [Music] may him i know the one who is mighty to say he could not be buried though he'll try to put him away [Music] darkness [Music] on earth and in heaven all powers been given to you jesus [Music] is [Music] i believe [Music] oh [Music] oh jesus [Music] of jesus in me every wall is coming down the darkness will travel when i live the name of jesus when the enemy gets long everyone's oh [Applause] authority on here [Music] oh [Applause] [Music] [Music] all right come on let's put our hands together we're not done with that just yet come on jesus holds all authority on earth and in heaven and so any darkness trembles when we lift up the name of jesus come on that's not just catchy words that's the reality of what's happening tonight that's our prayer that when the when we sing the enemy literally trembles the areas where we're struggling in life they just fade away and the kingdom comes in and so i just want us to believe that whatever you're facing maybe even lift your hands keep clapping whatever it is let's express faith that he is who he is [Music] the darkness will travel the name of jesus [Music] jesus darkness [Music] the darkness will tremble every victory in oh [Music] to you jesus [Music] [Applause] yes jesus we stand in your victory tonight and we worship you in this place and we say come fill this room come and fill this place come on fill

your glory jesus [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] there's only one day [Music] something happens when we sing the names [Music] so the name of jesus it's a strong tower the righteous run to it and they're saved the name of jesus is what the early church would use to declare his power on earth as it is in heaven and check this out in acts chapter 4 they said enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness stretch out your hand to heal and perform signs and wonders through the name of your holy servant jesus and after they prayed the place where they were praying was shaken and they were all filled with the holy spirit and they spoke the word of god boldly you see the name of jesus is the name above every name and that's the name that we call upon to declare out over our lives and the lives of our church and our whole city and our entire region we call out the name of jesus and we pray boldly and when we pray boldly things are shaken in the spiritual atmosphere so we're going to take some time right now to contend as if the name of jesus is a strong tower and the righteous can run to it and call it out and are saved we're going to contend for our church family we're going to contend for our homes and our families and our wives and our sons and our daughters and our husbands we're going to contend and lift up our voices so here's what i really want to encourage you this time this moment this this time of prayer right in the middle of our time tonight it's going to be as good as we are willing to go for it it's going to be as good as we're willing to contend the name of jesus over all the things we're going to pray for and the first thing we want to pray for is we want to pray boldly for leaders here at valley creek we literally want to pray that god will give us more leaders in fact check out this verse right here and he said to his disciples the harvest is plentiful but the workers are few ask the lord of the harvest therefore to send out workers in to his harvest field so it turns out that if we ask the lord of the harvest that's the way that he sends more workers and so i want to encourage you in the name of jesus ask him to give us more workers here at valley creek and before we even do that let's just do this let's choose to pray for the leaders we already have the leaders that are already leading inside of our church family and our staff leaders come on lift up your voices right now begin to pray out loud for the leaders inside of our church thanking god for our leaders strengthening our leaders helping our leaders take heart and take courage in this season giving them wisdom and boldness come on you can move around the room if you're watching a line you can stand up in the name of jesus you can pray out this verse asking the lord of the harvest to send our harvest workers to give us prayers for our leaders and our staff leaders to strengthen their their arms their arms their hands for the work of ministry to strengthen their their their minds and their hearts for the things that god has for them to help them experience breakthrough in all kinds of areas of life pray for our leaders pray for our staff leaders come on pray for the leaders that that love you the leaders are trying to lead you with everything that we have man we need your prayers we cover your prayers [Music] pray for your campus pastors pray for your staff teams pray for your leaders to lead your ministry and we're going to cycle through a three different a few different things we're going to pray for in jesus name so i want to encourage you i'm going to stop praying right now i want you to take it away i want you to ask the lord of the harvest to give us more harvest workers we need literally more leaders to be who god's called us to be to lead into this next season more staff leaders to carry the vision and heart of who valley creek is come on raise up your voices pray it out lord of the harvest we need more leaders will you send them [Music] so [Music] [Music] [Music] my [Music] okay church not only do we need to pray for our leaders and future leaders but we need to pray for an awakening in our church so that's what we're about to do in a season where there's so many opportunities to pick up apathy to pick up passivity to pick up indifference to pick up the chaos and the lies and all the swirls of the things around us right now that wants to lead us to this place where it literally blinds us it makes us fall asleep to the things of the kingdom but that's not who we are as a matter of fact in ephesians 5 it says this it says wake up o sleeper rise from the dead and christ will shine on you be very careful then on how you live not as the unwise but as wise making the most out of every opportunity because the days are evil there's an opportunity right now there's an opportunity to lean in by faith to press in and believe that our prayers are powerful and effective when we lean into them and so before we pray that god would awaken us or awaken them we just saying that we wanted revival right or revival starts right here revival starts in us so let me encourage you take authority right now over your own heart over your own mind and over your own life and begin to take that authority and pray over yourself that and just ask say lord would you awaken me right now would you awaken my heart would you awaken my passions my destiny my calling again take authority over my mind that it would be awakened and in tune with the things of the kingdom and be awakened to walk in the life of you come on raise your voices pray for yourself take authority over your heart awakeness of god [Music] awaken those dreams again oh god awaken our calling o god awaken the power of the gospel in my heart o god awaken your grace in our hearts o [Music] so as you begin to take authority over your own heart mind and body and life let's begin to now contend for our church let's contend for our children let's contend for our families let's contend for our cities let's continue for this generation and let's not be satisfied there let's contend for the generations to come that they would find the sacred ancient path and lead them back to an awakening with god [Music] [Music] wake up wake up oh [Music] wake up wake up oh slippery [Music] wake up wake up oh sleepers [Music] wake up wake up [Music] wake up wake up or sleep [Music] it's time for revive it's time for revival [Music] lord we do we ask you to awaken us awaken us to your ancient wisdom to your ancient word to your ancient ways give us a humility and a hunger and a desperation for the grace of jesus remove the blinders from our eyes soften the hardness of our heart rekindle the fires that have gone out shake out the world that has gotten inside of us me lord that's really the prayer awaken me lord because it's hard to wake up anybody else when you yourself are still sleeping so lord not only do we pray for the leaders of this church and we ask for more of them we pray that you would awaken us and we finally pray tonight that we would be strong in the lord that we wouldn't be strong in our situation we wouldn't be strong in ourselves that we wouldn't be strong in our own strength but that we would be strong in the lord you see in this world with the storms and the chaos and the brokenness and the pain i know so many people just feel like it's an unending spiritual warfare season like a wave after wave after wave just keeps coming which eventually knocks us down which makes us just want to go to sleep and not wake back up and makes us really not care about anything that's really important and sometimes we think it's other people that we're fighting but we don't wage war against flesh and blood but against powers and principalities and the rulers of the spiritual realm but the good news is that in jesus the god of peace will soon crush satan under your feet victory has already been given to you so here's what i want to invite you to do we've been telling you to bring your bibles grab your bible and in ephesians chapter 6 i'm going to just invite you to take a few moments and pray verses 10 through 20. ephesians chapter 6 verses 10 through 20. stay engaged keep praying stay up move around use your prayer language whatever you want to do but ephesians 6 is all about putting on the armor of god he tells us how to stand strong in the lord in fact over and over again he keeps reminding us stand stand firm stand strong in the lord and he doesn't leave you there on your own he gives you this suit of armor to protect you so that you can stand against the powers of darkness against the enemy's schemes and one of the things that i've been doing in my life is i've been using these verses and praying the armor of god over the people i love and over the people of this church because sometimes people don't know how to suit themselves up so sometimes we got to suit them up for them so i want to invite you for the next few moments i just want to invite you to pray the armor of god over the people in your life and literally pray it and put it on them like lord i pray that my children would have the helmet of salvation that around their minds would be sozo thoughts of healing saving deliverance wholeness and freedom that every thought they have would be the mind of christ that they wouldn't be conformed to the pattern of this world but they would be transformed by the renewing of their mind you get it lord i pray that you would put on my children the breastplate of righteousness that they would know that in jesus they are the righteousness of god in christ jesus that they would know that they are forgiven and set free that they would believe that they are holy and justified and sanctified in you that no accusation can penetrate to their heart because the breastplate of righteousness guards their heart and mind in christ jesus because of what he has done you hear me so take some authority over the people in your life and just read through these and just ask the holy spirit some of you are like i don't know how to do it that's okay just read it lord i pray that you would just put the belt of truth around their waist if that's all you got that's great that's great but then maybe just say holy spirit what's that mean what's a belt do a belt hold your pants up so lord i pray that truth would hold my children up that in a world full of lies and deceptions they would stand strong because of the truth of your word the truth would define them not lies that no lie has a power or authority over my children in jesus name and picture it do this over your spouse do this over your friends do this over your children do this over our church just take some authority out loud and go for it like pray and then see it happening man see the helmet going on their head prophetically believe it pray it watch it have a vision for it and then do it over our church do it over each other in this room come on next few minutes ephesians chapter 6 lord jesus come on get started here we go we pray the armor of god upon all of us in jesus name [Music] [Music] so [Music] so [Music] so [Music] so [Music] so [Music] cheers is foreign [Music] [Music] this [Music] [Music] my your word is my anchor [Music] seasons may change and [Music] is [Music] [Applause] [Music] where else would i go [Music] you are the voice [Music] where else would i go [Music] so my faith is [Music] jesus [Music] [Music] where [Applause] [Music] behind [Music] in all my opinions i laid [Music] behind me [Music] oh [Applause] [Music] before and nobody [Music] [Applause] you are the very you are the voice that calls to me lord where else was [Music] is [Music] one more time [Music] [Music] yes [Music] thank you jesus thank you lord i want to point out something just for a moment tonight we're we've equipped you to how to pray to know how to pray if you don't know
