00:00:06.900 --> 00:00:08.640
And<00:00:07.000><c> this</c><00:00:07.179><c> morning</c><00:00:07.360><c> in</c><00:00:07.519><c> our</c><00:00:07.660><c> first</c><00:00:07.879><c> class</c><00:00:08.160><c> we're</c><00:00:08.300><c> going</c><00:00:08.380><c> to</c><00:00:08.460><c> be</c>

00:00:08.640 --> 00:00:12.660
considering<00:00:09.160><c> why</c><00:00:10.240><c> is</c><00:00:10.560><c> prayer</c><00:00:10.759><c> so</c><00:00:11.099><c> vital</c><00:00:11.460><c> and</c><00:00:11.779><c> essential.</c>

00:00:12.740 --> 00:00:14.060
Brother<00:00:12.859><c> Roy,</c><00:00:13.019><c> please.</c>

00:00:14.279 --> 00:00:18.379
Well,<00:00:14.599><c> my</c><00:00:14.740><c> beloved</c><00:00:14.980><c> brothers</c><00:00:15.240><c> and</c><00:00:15.539><c> sisters,</c><00:00:17.739><c> you</c><00:00:17.879><c> may</c><00:00:18.059><c> wonder</c>

00:00:18.379 --> 00:00:25.780
why<00:00:19.100><c> I</c><00:00:20.899><c> would</c><00:00:21.059><c> venture</c><00:00:21.399><c> on</c><00:00:21.739><c> a</c><00:00:22.660><c> subject</c><00:00:22.920><c> like</c><00:00:23.199><c> prayer</c><00:00:23.539><c> for</c><00:00:23.859><c> six</c><00:00:24.579><c> sessions.</c>

00:00:29.339 --> 00:00:33.700
And<00:00:29.859><c> one</c><00:00:30.379><c> of</c><00:00:30.500><c> the</c><00:00:30.640><c> primary</c><00:00:30.940><c> reasons</c><00:00:31.320><c> was</c><00:00:31.519><c> I'm</c><00:00:31.780><c> still</c><00:00:32.039><c> wrestling</c><00:00:32.399><c> with</c><00:00:32.759><c> prayer.</c>

00:00:34.179 --> 00:00:36.979
And<00:00:34.340><c> I</c><00:00:34.500><c> thought</c><00:00:34.600><c> if</c><00:00:34.780><c> I</c><00:00:34.979><c> spent,</c><00:00:35.380><c> you</c><00:00:35.740><c> know,</c><00:00:35.939><c> six</c><00:00:36.179><c> months</c><00:00:36.539><c> on</c><00:00:36.740><c> a</c>

00:00:36.979 --> 00:00:40.060
study<00:00:37.299><c> that</c><00:00:38.679><c> it</c><00:00:38.840><c> would</c><00:00:38.960><c> be</c><00:00:39.200><c> helpful.</c>

00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:43.859
I'm<00:00:41.060><c> sure</c><00:00:41.140><c> many</c><00:00:41.420><c> of</c><00:00:41.579><c> you</c><00:00:41.780><c> have</c><00:00:42.140><c> the</c><00:00:42.320><c> same</c><00:00:42.640><c> experience.</c>

00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:47.500
It<00:00:44.840><c> seems</c><00:00:45.000><c> to</c><00:00:45.119><c> be</c><00:00:45.259><c> the</c><00:00:45.460><c> last</c><00:00:45.740><c> piece</c><00:00:46.020><c> that</c><00:00:46.240><c> really</c><00:00:46.500><c> comes</c><00:00:46.780><c> together</c><00:00:47.240><c> for</c>

00:00:47.500 --> 00:00:49.079
some<00:00:47.740><c> of</c><00:00:47.920><c> us.</c>

00:00:51.579 --> 00:00:57.659
But<00:00:52.179><c> what</c><00:00:52.780><c> I'd</c><00:00:53.020><c> like</c><00:00:53.119><c> the</c><00:00:53.320><c> week</c><00:00:53.439><c> to</c><00:00:53.679><c> become</c><00:00:54.020><c> for</c><00:00:54.259><c> each</c><00:00:54.560><c> one</c><00:00:54.799><c> individually</c><00:00:55.560><c> is</c>

00:00:57.659 --> 00:00:59.520
a<00:00:57.880><c> period</c><00:00:58.020><c> of</c><00:00:58.320><c> real</c><00:00:58.700><c> concentration,</c>

00:00:59.700 --> 00:01:06.299
meditation<00:01:00.280><c> on</c><00:01:01.939><c> you</c><00:01:03.060><c> and</c><00:01:03.359><c> prayer</c><00:01:03.619><c> and</c><00:01:04.840><c> the</c><00:01:05.019><c> Lord</c><00:01:05.200><c> Jesus</c><00:01:05.540><c> Christ</c><00:01:05.939><c> and</c>

00:01:06.299 --> 00:01:07.079
God<00:01:06.579><c> the</c><00:01:06.760><c> Father.</c>

00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:12.180
It's<00:01:07.760><c> a</c><00:01:07.920><c> personal</c><00:01:08.299><c> kind</c><00:01:08.640><c> of</c><00:01:08.859><c> a</c><00:01:09.079><c> situation</c><00:01:09.620><c> and</c><00:01:11.260><c> it's</c><00:01:11.500><c> very</c><00:01:11.719><c> much</c><00:01:11.900><c> a</c>

00:01:12.180 --> 00:01:15.739
reflection<00:01:12.739><c> of</c><00:01:14.319><c> our</c><00:01:14.579><c> spiritual</c><00:01:15.060><c> development,</c>

00:01:15.739 --> 00:01:18.239
where<00:01:16.140><c> we</c><00:01:16.379><c> are</c><00:01:17.019><c> spiritually.</c>

00:01:18.680 --> 00:01:23.739
As<00:01:18.879><c> we</c><00:01:19.120><c> grow</c><00:01:19.599><c> in</c><00:01:20.819><c> the</c><00:01:21.000><c> word</c><00:01:21.420><c> and</c><00:01:22.519><c> our</c><00:01:22.680><c> understanding</c><00:01:23.099><c> of</c><00:01:23.340><c> God's</c>

00:01:23.739 --> 00:01:26.780
purpose<00:01:24.099><c> as</c><00:01:24.400><c> far</c><00:01:24.659><c> as</c><00:01:24.879><c> manifesting</c><00:01:25.379><c> His</c><00:01:25.700><c> glory,</c>

00:01:27.019 --> 00:01:31.159
as<00:01:27.140><c> that</c><00:01:27.420><c> becomes</c><00:01:27.840><c> predominant</c><00:01:29.659><c> and</c><00:01:30.000><c> our</c><00:01:30.120><c> reasons</c><00:01:30.400><c> for</c><00:01:30.620><c> wanting</c><00:01:30.859><c> to</c><00:01:31.060><c> be</c>

00:01:31.159 --> 00:01:34.040
in<00:01:31.260><c> the</c><00:01:31.420><c> kingdom</c><00:01:31.599><c> are</c><00:01:31.840><c> all</c><00:01:32.040><c> focused</c><00:01:32.359><c> on</c><00:01:32.599><c> His</c><00:01:32.920><c> glory,</c>

00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:38.959
then<00:01:35.560><c> finally</c><00:01:36.319><c> prayer</c><00:01:36.599><c> becomes</c><00:01:37.180><c> a</c><00:01:37.640><c> lot</c><00:01:37.760><c> more</c><00:01:38.040><c> meaningful.</c>

00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:45.980
But<00:01:42.359><c> we're</c><00:01:43.439><c> not</c><00:01:43.599><c> really</c><00:01:44.200><c> concentrating</c><00:01:45.040><c> so</c><00:01:45.280><c> much</c><00:01:45.400><c> on</c><00:01:45.680><c> morning</c>

00:01:45.980 --> 00:01:48.819
and<00:01:47.180><c> night</c><00:01:47.760><c> prayer,</c>

00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:57.200
as<00:01:49.760><c> we</c><00:01:49.959><c> are</c><00:01:50.159><c> this</c><00:01:51.659><c> constant,</c><00:01:53.519><c> continuous,</c><00:01:55.879><c> during</c><00:01:56.280><c> the</c><00:01:56.540><c> day,</c>

00:01:57.700 --> 00:02:03.180
this<00:01:57.900><c> spontaneous</c><00:01:58.920><c> that</c><00:02:00.359><c> you're</c><00:02:00.579><c> going</c><00:02:00.700><c> to</c><00:02:00.939><c> see</c><00:02:01.620><c> from</c><00:02:02.959><c> the</c>

00:02:03.180 --> 00:02:04.500
faithful<00:02:03.459><c> servants.</c>

00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:09.439
It's<00:02:05.840><c> like</c><00:02:06.019><c> Paul</c><00:02:06.299><c> talks</c><00:02:06.640><c> about</c><00:02:06.980><c> in</c><00:02:08.479><c> Romans,</c>

00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:13.379
where<00:02:10.800><c> Gentiles</c><00:02:11.319><c> who</c><00:02:11.520><c> didn't</c><00:02:11.699><c> have</c><00:02:11.960><c> the</c><00:02:12.159><c> law</c><00:02:12.419><c> are</c><00:02:12.780><c> now</c><00:02:13.000><c> doing</c>

00:02:13.379 --> 00:02:17.539
by<00:02:14.520><c> nature,</c><00:02:15.080><c> by</c><00:02:15.319><c> their</c><00:02:15.479><c> new</c><00:02:15.680><c> spiritual</c><00:02:16.340><c> nature,</c>

00:02:18.039 --> 00:02:22.560
that<00:02:18.400><c> they've</c><00:02:19.300><c> learned</c><00:02:19.919><c> to</c><00:02:20.840><c> do</c><00:02:20.979><c> God's</c><00:02:21.460><c> will,</c><00:02:21.879><c> to</c><00:02:21.979><c> become</c><00:02:22.240><c> part</c>

00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:25.860
of<00:02:23.659><c> their</c><00:02:23.979><c> metal</c><00:02:24.780><c> fabric.</c>

00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:32.620
And<00:02:27.719><c> what</c><00:02:28.599><c> we</c><00:02:28.819><c> need</c><00:02:29.000><c> to</c><00:02:29.479><c> finally</c><00:02:29.939><c> come</c><00:02:30.259><c> to</c><00:02:30.460><c> is</c><00:02:30.680><c> that</c><00:02:31.860><c> we</c><00:02:32.259><c> really</c>

00:02:32.620 --> 00:02:36.419
do<00:02:34.180><c> constantly</c><00:02:35.020><c> turn</c>

00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:43.520
to<00:02:38.439><c> very</c><00:02:38.879><c> short,</c><00:02:40.400><c> spontaneous</c><00:02:41.259><c> prayer</c><00:02:41.840><c> throughout</c><00:02:42.379><c> the</c><00:02:42.620><c> day.</c>

00:02:44.539 --> 00:02:47.479
I'm<00:02:44.819><c> convinced</c><00:02:45.120><c> that's</c><00:02:45.400><c> what</c><00:02:45.659><c> walking</c><00:02:46.080><c> with</c><00:02:46.400><c> God</c><00:02:46.719><c> meant</c><00:02:47.159><c> for</c>

00:02:47.479 --> 00:02:50.159
Noah<00:02:47.900><c> and</c><00:02:49.199><c> Enoch.</c>

00:02:51.379 --> 00:02:54.580
And<00:02:51.900><c> you</c><00:02:52.159><c> see</c><00:02:52.340><c> it,</c><00:02:52.520><c> it</c><00:02:52.740><c> comes</c><00:02:53.020><c> up</c><00:02:53.360><c> almost</c><00:02:53.840><c> incidentally</c><00:02:54.419><c> in</c>

the<00:02:54.740><c> record.</c>

00:02:56.560 --> 00:03:00.800
What<00:02:56.740><c> we're</c><00:02:56.919><c> going</c><00:02:57.000><c> to</c><00:02:57.139><c> do</c><00:02:57.319><c> is</c><00:02:58.539><c> cover</c><00:02:58.960><c> some</c><00:02:59.199><c> basics</c><00:02:59.560><c> this</c><00:02:59.900><c> morning,</c>

00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:03.639
but<00:03:01.240><c> then</c><00:03:01.479><c> just</c><00:03:01.740><c> work</c><00:03:01.960><c> our</c><00:03:02.139><c> way</c><00:03:02.280><c> through</c><00:03:02.539><c> Scripture</c><00:03:02.960><c> and</c><00:03:03.199><c> watch</c><00:03:03.400><c> what</c>

00:03:03.639 --> 00:03:05.240
the<00:03:03.860><c> faithful</c><00:03:04.080><c> were</c><00:03:04.360><c> doing.</c>

00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:12.539
But<00:03:07.280><c> we</c><00:03:07.460><c> want</c><00:03:07.599><c> to</c><00:03:07.759><c> reach</c><00:03:07.900><c> the</c><00:03:08.199><c> point</c><00:03:08.419><c> where</c><00:03:09.699><c> the</c><00:03:10.360><c> King</c><00:03:10.539><c> asked</c><00:03:10.840><c> Nehemiah</c><00:03:11.360><c> a</c><00:03:11.539><c> question,</c>

00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:16.319

00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:19.240
That's<00:03:17.240><c> where</c><00:03:17.400><c> you</c><00:03:17.599><c> and</c><00:03:17.740><c> I</c><00:03:17.879><c> want</c><00:03:18.039><c> to</c><00:03:18.240><c> be.</c>

00:03:19.620 --> 00:03:23.120
That's<00:03:20.120><c> the</c><00:03:20.300><c> real</c><00:03:20.740><c> source</c><00:03:21.360><c> of</c><00:03:21.740><c> God's</c><00:03:22.240><c> power.</c>

00:03:25.379 --> 00:03:28.259
You<00:03:25.460><c> know,</c><00:03:25.639><c> we</c><00:03:25.840><c> all</c><00:03:26.080><c> know</c><00:03:26.259><c> the</c><00:03:26.460><c> angels</c><00:03:26.639><c> are</c><00:03:26.860><c> right</c><00:03:27.080><c> there,</c>

00:03:28.939 --> 00:03:31.360
and<00:03:29.099><c> I've</c><00:03:29.240><c> been</c><00:03:29.400><c> convinced</c><00:03:29.699><c> many</c><00:03:30.159><c> times</c><00:03:30.580><c> they're</c><00:03:30.900><c> waiting,</c>

00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:35.599
waiting,<00:03:32.400><c> waiting</c><00:03:32.780><c> to</c><00:03:33.479><c> be</c><00:03:33.780><c> asked,</c><00:03:34.340><c> to</c><00:03:34.479><c> be</c><00:03:34.620><c> called</c><00:03:34.800><c> upon.</c>

00:03:35.860 --> 00:03:38.879
They<00:03:36.259><c> cannot</c><00:03:36.659><c> override</c><00:03:37.319><c> our</c><00:03:37.680><c> free</c><00:03:37.939><c> will.</c>

00:03:40.060 --> 00:03:43.979
So<00:03:40.539><c> we</c><00:03:40.740><c> need</c><00:03:40.960><c> to</c><00:03:42.300><c> hopefully</c><00:03:42.659><c> come</c><00:03:42.979><c> to</c><00:03:43.199><c> that.</c>

00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:48.259
That<00:03:45.039><c> prayer</c><00:03:45.199><c> isn't</c><00:03:45.460><c> something</c><00:03:45.780><c> you</c><00:03:46.080><c> say</c><00:03:46.360><c> for</c><00:03:47.479><c> the</c><00:03:47.719><c> last</c><00:03:47.919><c> thing</c><00:03:48.060><c> at</c>

00:03:48.259 --> 00:03:49.419
night<00:03:48.400><c> when</c><00:03:48.539><c> you're</c><00:03:48.719><c> too</c><00:03:48.960><c> tired.</c>

00:03:49.659 --> 00:03:53.939
I<00:03:49.840><c> don't</c><00:03:50.060><c> find</c><00:03:50.300><c> it</c><00:03:51.520><c> a</c><00:03:52.259><c> good</c><00:03:52.460><c> time</c><00:03:52.719><c> at</c><00:03:52.939><c> all.</c>

00:03:54.500 --> 00:03:58.180
It's<00:03:54.860><c> something</c><00:03:55.060><c> you</c><00:03:55.360><c> learn</c><00:03:55.580><c> to</c><00:03:55.919><c> do</c><00:03:57.020><c> constantly.</c>

00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:00.840
If<00:03:58.479><c> we're</c><00:03:58.719><c> going</c><00:03:58.840><c> to</c><00:03:59.060><c> truly</c><00:03:59.360><c> understand</c><00:03:59.919><c> what</c><00:04:00.099><c> it</c><00:04:00.259><c> means</c><00:04:00.379><c> to</c><00:04:00.560><c> be</c><00:04:00.740><c> a</c>

00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:03.219
worker<00:04:01.120><c> together</c><00:04:01.599><c> with</c><00:04:01.939><c> God,</c>

00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:08.000
doing<00:04:04.159><c> His</c><00:04:04.539><c> work,</c><00:04:05.699><c> cooperating</c><00:04:06.500><c> with</c><00:04:06.860><c> Him.</c>

00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:12.180
Remember<00:04:10.639><c> what</c><00:04:10.800><c> the</c><00:04:11.000><c> people</c><00:04:11.180><c> said</c><00:04:11.419><c> about</c><00:04:11.699><c> Jonathan.</c>

00:04:12.300 --> 00:04:14.900
He<00:04:12.439><c> has</c><00:04:12.719><c> worked</c><00:04:12.960><c> today</c><00:04:13.539><c> with</c><00:04:14.580><c> God.</c>

00:04:15.020 --> 00:04:17.079
That's<00:04:15.379><c> where</c><00:04:15.620><c> you</c><00:04:15.840><c> and</c><00:04:15.900><c> I</c><00:04:16.060><c> want</c><00:04:16.259><c> to</c><00:04:16.420><c> be.</c>

00:04:17.459 --> 00:04:19.459
Consciously,<00:04:18.079><c> whatever</c><00:04:18.300><c> we're</c><00:04:18.579><c> doing,</c><00:04:18.899><c> whether</c><00:04:19.079><c> it's</c><00:04:19.220><c> for</c>

00:04:19.459 --> 00:04:24.319
the<00:04:19.720><c> truth</c><00:04:19.980><c> or</c><00:04:20.360><c> in</c><00:04:21.819><c> our</c><00:04:22.199><c> work</c><00:04:22.420><c> life</c><00:04:22.720><c> or</c><00:04:22.980><c> our</c><00:04:23.160><c> family</c><00:04:23.540><c> life,</c>

00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:30.019
we're<00:04:26.180><c> doing</c><00:04:26.379><c> it</c><00:04:26.720><c> consciously</c><00:04:27.259><c> as</c><00:04:28.120><c> a</c><00:04:28.439><c> worker</c><00:04:28.699><c> with</c><00:04:29.040><c> Him.</c>

00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:33.800
You're<00:04:31.199><c> going</c><00:04:31.259><c> to</c><00:04:31.319><c> have</c><00:04:31.399><c> a</c><00:04:31.540><c> major</c><00:04:31.800><c> discussion</c><00:04:32.259><c> with</c><00:04:32.459><c> your</c><00:04:32.699><c> spouse.</c>

00:04:35.220 --> 00:04:37.579
You<00:04:35.600><c> stop</c><00:04:35.899><c> first</c><00:04:36.399><c> and</c><00:04:36.759><c> pray.</c>

00:04:38.680 --> 00:04:42.459
I'm<00:04:39.040><c> still</c><00:04:39.220><c> at</c><00:04:39.420><c> the</c><00:04:39.579><c> point</c><00:04:39.720><c> where</c><00:04:40.319><c> I</c><00:04:41.079><c> realize</c><00:04:41.379><c> quickly</c><00:04:41.819><c> what</c><00:04:42.240><c> I</c>

00:04:42.459 --> 00:04:43.519
should<00:04:42.560><c> have</c><00:04:42.800><c> done.</c>

00:04:44.220 --> 00:04:46.980
A<00:04:44.420><c> brother</c><00:04:44.579><c> will</c><00:04:44.800><c> come</c><00:04:44.959><c> up</c><00:04:45.139><c> to</c><00:04:45.259><c> me</c><00:04:45.399><c> with</c><00:04:45.819><c> a</c><00:04:45.920><c> problem</c><00:04:46.379><c> or</c><00:04:46.560><c> a</c><00:04:46.740><c> question.</c>

00:04:47.220 --> 00:04:50.399
I<00:04:47.600><c> realize</c><00:04:47.600><c> I</c><00:04:47.839><c> didn't</c><00:04:48.399><c> take</c><00:04:48.879><c> time</c><00:04:49.240><c> to</c><00:04:49.560><c> pray.</c>

00:04:52.319 --> 00:04:53.519
You're<00:04:52.639><c> going</c><00:04:52.660><c> to</c><00:04:52.759><c> see</c><00:04:52.860><c> it</c><00:04:52.980><c> with</c><00:04:53.199><c> Samuel.</c>

00:04:53.540 --> 00:04:56.899
They<00:04:53.699><c> come</c><00:04:53.899><c> to</c><00:04:54.120><c> him,</c><00:04:54.519><c> you</c><00:04:54.600><c> know,</c><00:04:55.519><c> make</c><00:04:55.620><c> us</c><00:04:55.800><c> a</c><00:04:56.019><c> king.</c>

00:04:57.120 --> 00:05:00.639
And<00:04:57.639><c> he's</c><00:04:57.980><c> very</c><00:04:58.620><c> disappointed,</c><00:04:59.579><c> very.</c>

00:05:01.160 --> 00:05:03.139
He<00:05:01.300><c> doesn't</c><00:05:01.600><c> say</c><00:05:01.879><c> a</c><00:05:02.060><c> word.</c>

00:05:03.579 --> 00:05:05.639
He<00:05:03.860><c> goes</c><00:05:04.079><c> and</c><00:05:04.319><c> turns</c><00:05:04.540><c> to</c><00:05:04.879><c> prayer.</c>

00:05:06.540 --> 00:05:11.959
But<00:05:06.720><c> I</c><00:05:06.740><c> think</c><00:05:06.959><c> that's,</c><00:05:07.920><c> hopefully,</c><00:05:08.839><c> we</c><00:05:09.139><c> can</c><00:05:09.339><c> share</c><00:05:09.639><c> some</c><00:05:09.899><c> of</c><00:05:10.060><c> that</c><00:05:10.259><c> and</c><00:05:10.500><c> it</c><00:05:11.139><c> will</c><00:05:11.339><c> make</c><00:05:11.560><c> a</c><00:05:11.720><c> difference.</c>

00:05:12.360 --> 00:05:15.899
Because<00:05:12.879><c> this</c><00:05:13.399><c> week</c><00:05:13.540><c> has</c><00:05:13.779><c> got</c><00:05:13.959><c> to</c><00:05:14.540><c> change</c><00:05:14.800><c> us.</c>

00:05:16.839 --> 00:05:18.939
If<00:05:17.019><c> we</c><00:05:17.160><c> get</c><00:05:17.220><c> used</c><00:05:17.459><c> to</c><00:05:17.620><c> coming</c><00:05:17.779><c> to</c><00:05:18.000><c> Bible</c><00:05:18.259><c> school</c><00:05:18.500><c> and</c><00:05:18.720><c> going</c>

away<00:05:19.279><c> unchanged,</c>

00:05:22.980 --> 00:05:28.120
then<00:05:23.540><c> if</c><00:05:23.660><c> we're</c><00:05:23.879><c> not</c><00:05:24.060><c> careful,</c><00:05:24.680><c> Bible</c><00:05:24.819><c> school</c><00:05:25.040><c> becomes</c><00:05:25.459><c> a</c><00:05:25.860><c> snare</c><00:05:26.339><c> and</c>

00:05:28.120 --> 00:05:28.720
a<00:05:28.279><c> delusion,</c>

00:05:28.939 --> 00:05:31.720
exactly<00:05:29.319><c> the</c><00:05:29.519><c> way</c><00:05:29.620><c> the</c><00:05:29.860><c> sacrifices</c><00:05:30.339><c> did</c><00:05:30.560><c> for</c><00:05:30.759><c> Israel.</c>

00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:34.800
You<00:05:32.439><c> know,</c><00:05:32.500><c> we</c><00:05:32.680><c> convinced</c><00:05:33.000><c> ourselves</c><00:05:33.420><c> that</c><00:05:33.620><c> we</c><00:05:33.759><c> took</c><00:05:33.939><c> time</c><00:05:34.240><c> out</c><00:05:34.500><c> and</c><00:05:34.660><c> we</c>

00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:37.259
did<00:05:34.899><c> some</c><00:05:35.199><c> things</c><00:05:35.519><c> spiritually</c><00:05:36.660><c> for</c><00:05:36.959><c> God</c>

00:05:37.259 --> 00:05:39.759

00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:41.459
to<00:05:39.920><c> our</c><00:05:40.100><c> regular</c><00:05:40.399><c> life.</c>

00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:45.040
We've<00:05:42.740><c> got</c><00:05:42.899><c> to</c><00:05:43.060><c> go</c><00:05:43.319><c> home</c><00:05:43.699><c> changed.</c>

00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:49.860
Sunday<00:05:47.019><c> morning</c><00:05:47.399><c> has</c><00:05:47.779><c> got</c><00:05:48.100><c> to</c><00:05:48.480><c> change</c><00:05:48.779><c> us</c><00:05:49.220><c> gradually.</c>

00:05:49.860 --> 00:05:50.959
Week<00:05:50.220><c> by</c><00:05:50.540><c> week.</c>

00:05:51.439 --> 00:05:54.819
If<00:05:51.600><c> we</c><00:05:51.819><c> partake</c><00:05:52.139><c> of</c><00:05:52.220><c> those</c><00:05:52.519><c> emblems</c><00:05:52.920><c> and</c><00:05:52.980><c> go</c><00:05:53.220><c> away</c><00:05:53.480><c> unchanged,</c>

00:05:55.879 --> 00:05:57.860
then<00:05:55.939><c> it's</c><00:05:56.240><c> become</c><00:05:56.519><c> mere</c><00:05:56.759><c> ritual.</c>

00:06:01.040 --> 00:06:05.079
And<00:06:01.560><c> it</c><00:06:02.079><c> results</c><00:06:02.779><c> in</c><00:06:03.120><c> fooling</c><00:06:03.439><c> us</c><00:06:03.660><c> that</c><00:06:03.839><c> we're</c><00:06:04.199><c> on</c><00:06:04.439><c> the</c><00:06:04.620><c> right</c><00:06:04.800><c> track.</c>

00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:06.139
We're<00:06:05.319><c> doing</c><00:06:05.480><c> the</c><00:06:05.699><c> right</c><00:06:05.860><c> things.</c>

00:06:06.199 --> 00:06:10.220
We're<00:06:06.459><c> following</c><00:06:06.660><c> the</c><00:06:07.779><c> right</c><00:06:07.800><c> prescribed</c><00:06:08.579><c> rules,</c><00:06:09.100><c> if</c><00:06:09.319><c> you</c><00:06:09.500><c> will.</c>

00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:13.720
So<00:06:11.420><c> I</c><00:06:11.879><c> just</c><00:06:12.199><c> leave</c><00:06:12.339><c> you</c><00:06:12.519><c> with</c><00:06:12.740><c> that</c><00:06:12.980><c> thought</c><00:06:13.160><c> that</c><00:06:13.300><c> you</c><00:06:13.579><c> want</c>

00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:15.379
to<00:06:14.079><c> definitely</c><00:06:14.500><c> concentrate</c>

00:06:15.379 --> 00:06:18.800
on<00:06:16.180><c> picking</c><00:06:16.519><c> up</c><00:06:16.779><c> some</c><00:06:17.019><c> areas</c><00:06:17.300><c> of</c><00:06:17.459><c> your</c><00:06:17.699><c> own</c><00:06:17.939><c> life</c><00:06:18.240><c> while</c><00:06:18.459><c> you're</c><00:06:18.600><c> here</c>

00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:19.579
this<00:06:19.100><c> week</c>

00:06:20.060 --> 00:06:23.819
that<00:06:20.540><c> you</c><00:06:20.660><c> have</c><00:06:20.879><c> not</c><00:06:21.040><c> been</c><00:06:21.240><c> happy</c><00:06:21.560><c> with,</c><00:06:23.079><c> that</c><00:06:23.279><c> you</c><00:06:23.459><c> want</c><00:06:23.639><c> to</c>

00:06:23.819 --> 00:06:25.339
see<00:06:24.019><c> changed.</c>

00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:31.220
And<00:06:26.779><c> you</c><00:06:26.899><c> and</c><00:06:27.319><c> I</c><00:06:27.480><c> both</c><00:06:27.699><c> know</c><00:06:27.860><c> you</c><00:06:28.019><c> can't</c><00:06:28.339><c> do</c><00:06:28.480><c> it</c><00:06:28.600><c> just</c><00:06:28.860><c> by</c><00:06:29.180><c> wanting</c><00:06:29.620><c> it</c><00:06:30.180><c> and</c><00:06:30.500><c> resolving</c><00:06:30.920><c> to</c>

00:06:31.220 --> 00:06:32.579
do<00:06:31.399><c> it.</c>

00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:35.240
So<00:06:33.160><c> I</c><00:06:33.240><c> think</c><00:06:33.540><c> that,</c><00:06:33.839><c> myself,</c><00:06:34.259><c> that's</c><00:06:34.500><c> where</c><00:06:34.680><c> prayer</c><00:06:34.920><c> comes</c>

00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:36.399
into<00:06:35.540><c> it.</c>

00:06:37.160 --> 00:06:39.720
I<00:06:37.360><c> can</c><00:06:37.560><c> do</c><00:06:37.720><c> all</c><00:06:37.920><c> things</c><00:06:38.100><c> through</c><00:06:38.319><c> Christ</c><00:06:38.639><c> who</c><00:06:38.879><c> strengthens</c><00:06:39.279><c> me,</c><00:06:39.439><c> but</c><00:06:39.560><c> if</c>

00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:41.540
I'm<00:06:39.860><c> not</c><00:06:40.660><c> close</c><00:06:41.120><c> to</c><00:06:41.399><c> him,</c>

00:06:41.540 --> 00:06:47.600
and<00:06:41.699><c> if</c><00:06:41.699><c> I</c><00:06:41.860><c> haven't</c><00:06:42.079><c> come</c><00:06:42.300><c> to</c><00:06:42.439><c> know</c><00:06:42.699><c> him</c><00:06:43.600><c> intimately</c><00:06:44.459><c> as</c><00:06:46.279><c> my</c><00:06:46.579><c> friend,</c>

00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:50.720
and<00:06:48.519><c> believe</c><00:06:48.639><c> it</c><00:06:48.779><c> or</c><00:06:48.879><c> not,</c><00:06:49.120><c> that's</c><00:06:49.139><c> what</c><00:06:49.300><c> God</c><00:06:49.519><c> wants</c><00:06:49.800><c> from</c><00:06:50.040><c> us</c>

00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:53.199
in<00:06:51.019><c> our</c><00:06:51.180><c> relationship</c><00:06:51.639><c> with</c><00:06:51.819><c> him.</c>

00:06:54.360 --> 00:06:55.899
Abba<00:06:54.879><c> Father.</c>

00:06:57.240 --> 00:06:58.300
Think<00:06:57.759><c> about</c><00:06:58.160><c> it.</c>

00:06:58.300 --> 00:07:00.839
That's<00:06:58.500><c> what</c><00:06:58.600><c> a</c><00:06:58.759><c> little</c><00:06:59.000><c> child</c><00:06:59.339><c> calls</c><00:06:59.720><c> dad.</c>

00:07:01.740 --> 00:07:03.240
Abba<00:07:02.259><c> Father.</c>

00:07:03.740 --> 00:07:05.180
That's<00:07:03.980><c> what</c><00:07:04.079><c> he</c><00:07:04.180><c> wants.</c>

00:07:06.360 --> 00:07:10.079
Ideally,<00:07:06.920><c> God</c><00:07:07.160><c> would</c><00:07:07.399><c> become</c><00:07:07.660><c> the</c><00:07:07.759><c> best</c><00:07:08.040><c> friend</c><00:07:08.279><c> we've</c><00:07:08.639><c> got.</c>

00:07:10.220 --> 00:07:16.579
But,<00:07:10.839><c> boy,</c><00:07:10.879><c> we've</c><00:07:11.160><c> got</c><00:07:11.279><c> to</c><00:07:11.480><c> know</c><00:07:11.720><c> him,</c><00:07:12.120><c> really</c><00:07:12.579><c> know</c><00:07:12.839><c> him,</c><00:07:14.639><c> know</c><00:07:14.800><c> what</c><00:07:14.939><c> he's</c><00:07:15.160><c> up</c><00:07:15.379><c> to,</c>

00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:20.060
and<00:07:17.620><c> develop</c><00:07:17.959><c> his</c><00:07:18.220><c> heart,</c><00:07:18.720><c> his</c><00:07:19.060><c> mind.</c>

00:07:21.420 --> 00:07:22.540
And<00:07:21.680><c> prayer</c><00:07:21.779><c> is</c><00:07:22.079><c> the</c><00:07:22.319><c> key.</c>

00:07:22.759 --> 00:07:28.160
It's<00:07:22.939><c> sort</c><00:07:23.199><c> of</c><00:07:23.319><c> the</c><00:07:23.560><c> final</c><00:07:24.199><c> piece,</c><00:07:25.819><c> if</c><00:07:26.000><c> you</c><00:07:26.160><c> will,</c><00:07:26.500><c> of</c><00:07:26.860><c> the</c><00:07:27.079><c> circle</c><00:07:27.480><c> of</c>

00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:29.680
spiritual<00:07:28.620><c> development.</c>

00:07:32.959 --> 00:07:35.879
Well,<00:07:33.160><c> on</c><00:07:33.300><c> the</c><00:07:33.459><c> notes,</c><00:07:33.860><c> I</c><00:07:34.519><c> just</c><00:07:34.720><c> want</c><00:07:34.819><c> to</c><00:07:34.920><c> read</c><00:07:35.120><c> through</c><00:07:35.300><c> this</c><00:07:35.500><c> quickly,</c>

00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:39.180
but<00:07:36.220><c> it's</c><00:07:37.660><c> some</c><00:07:37.939><c> of</c><00:07:38.060><c> what</c><00:07:38.139><c> we've</c><00:07:38.399><c> been</c><00:07:38.500><c> just</c><00:07:38.759><c> talking</c><00:07:38.959><c> about,</c>

00:07:39.180 --> 00:07:44.339
but<00:07:39.360><c> it</c><00:07:39.779><c> sort</c><00:07:39.959><c> of</c><00:07:40.139><c> sets</c><00:07:40.420><c> the</c><00:07:41.759><c> background,</c><00:07:42.839><c> the</c><00:07:43.319><c> stage.</c>

00:07:44.860 --> 00:07:46.920
Prayer<00:07:45.060><c> is</c><00:07:45.300><c> the</c><00:07:45.480><c> work</c><00:07:45.660><c> of</c><00:07:45.860><c> a</c><00:07:46.000><c> lifetime.</c>

00:07:48.360 --> 00:07:51.079
I'm<00:07:48.680><c> still</c><00:07:48.899><c> asking</c><00:07:49.259><c> God</c><00:07:49.579><c> to</c><00:07:49.839><c> help</c><00:07:50.019><c> me</c><00:07:50.240><c> to</c><00:07:50.459><c> pray</c><00:07:50.680><c> more</c>

fervently,<00:07:52.939><c> consistently,</c><00:07:54.740><c> effectively.</c>

00:07:57.120 --> 00:07:59.579
Prayer<00:07:57.319><c> reflects</c><00:07:57.920><c> our</c><00:07:58.259><c> spiritual</c><00:07:58.680><c> development</c><00:07:59.180><c> and</c><00:07:59.319><c> gets</c>

00:08:06.660 --> 00:08:08.120
That's<00:08:06.959><c> a</c><00:08:07.079><c> big</c><00:08:07.220><c> piece</c><00:08:07.540><c> of</c><00:08:07.740><c> it.</c>

00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:13.100
It's<00:08:08.759><c> extremely</c><00:08:09.180><c> difficult</c><00:08:09.699><c> to</c><00:08:09.980><c> pray</c><00:08:10.319><c> effectively</c><00:08:11.139><c> when</c><00:08:12.220><c> your</c><00:08:12.459><c> life</c><00:08:12.680><c> is</c>

00:08:17.240 --> 00:08:18.220
Sure,<00:08:17.439><c> we're</c><00:08:17.560><c> going</c><00:08:17.639><c> to</c><00:08:17.759><c> make</c><00:08:17.860><c> mistakes.</c>

00:08:18.300 --> 00:08:19.740
That's<00:08:18.540><c> not</c><00:08:18.720><c> the</c><00:08:18.959><c> issue.</c>

00:08:19.980 --> 00:08:25.939
But<00:08:20.139><c> the</c><00:08:20.360><c> main</c><00:08:20.600><c> sweep</c><00:08:20.839><c> of</c><00:08:21.060><c> our</c><00:08:21.259><c> life</c><00:08:21.439><c> has</c><00:08:21.720><c> got</c><00:08:21.839><c> to</c><00:08:22.040><c> get</c><00:08:22.339><c> into</c><00:08:23.339><c> his</c><00:08:25.220><c> track,</c><00:08:25.740><c> if</c>

00:08:35.740 --> 00:08:39.720

00:14:29.559 --> 00:14:32.879
It's<00:14:29.899><c> not</c><00:14:30.080><c> a</c><00:14:30.259><c> matter</c><00:14:30.500><c> of</c><00:14:30.700><c> deciding</c><00:14:31.059><c> we're</c><00:14:31.700><c> going</c><00:14:31.820><c> to</c><00:14:31.919><c> do</c><00:14:32.120><c> this.</c>

00:14:33.059 --> 00:14:35.779

Totally<00:14:37.620><c> different</c><00:14:38.139><c> concept.</c>

00:14:43.779 --> 00:14:46.440
The<00:14:43.960><c> one</c><00:14:44.100><c> is</c><00:14:44.360><c> seeking</c><00:14:44.580><c> to</c><00:14:44.820><c> know</c><00:14:44.960><c> God's</c><00:14:45.500><c> will.</c>

00:14:51.600 --> 00:14:53.659
That's<00:14:51.659><c> what</c><00:14:51.759><c> it</c><00:14:51.879><c> comes</c><00:14:52.139><c> down</c><00:14:52.440><c> to.</c>

00:14:57.500 --> 00:15:01.919
Becoming<00:14:57.980><c> second</c><00:14:58.360><c> nature</c><00:14:58.740><c> to</c><00:14:58.980><c> appeal</c><00:14:59.279><c> to</c><00:14:59.539><c> him</c><00:14:59.700><c> in</c><00:15:00.000><c> silent</c><00:15:00.419><c> prayer</c><00:15:00.940><c> at</c>

every<00:15:02.299><c> step.</c>

00:15:04.720 --> 00:15:08.080
We<00:15:05.320><c> gradually</c><00:15:05.899><c> learn</c><00:15:06.159><c> to</c><00:15:06.399><c> recognize</c><00:15:06.899><c> more</c><00:15:07.259><c> quickly</c><00:15:07.679><c> when</c><00:15:07.919><c> the</c>

00:15:12.580 --> 00:15:15.220
This<00:15:12.759><c> battle</c><00:15:13.039><c> as</c><00:15:13.159><c> you</c><00:15:13.360><c> know</c><00:15:13.519><c> never</c><00:15:13.840><c> ends</c><00:15:14.139><c> until</c><00:15:14.440><c> life</c><00:15:14.679><c> is</c><00:15:14.980><c> over.</c>

00:15:15.440 --> 00:15:22.799
But<00:15:15.519><c> what</c><00:15:15.759><c> does</c><00:15:16.259><c> change</c><00:15:16.740><c> hopefully</c><00:15:17.240><c> is</c><00:15:17.519><c> that</c><00:15:17.700><c> the</c><00:15:17.820><c> mind</c><00:15:18.120><c> of</c><00:15:18.299><c> the</c><00:15:18.500><c> spirit</c><00:15:18.799><c> gradually</c><00:15:19.379><c> becomes</c><00:15:19.940><c> stronger</c><00:15:20.659><c> than</c><00:15:22.159><c> the</c><00:15:22.360><c> mind</c><00:15:22.580><c> of</c>

00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:23.820
the<00:15:22.899><c> flesh.</c>

00:15:26.919 --> 00:15:29.019
We<00:15:27.259><c> cannot</c><00:15:27.820><c> weaken</c><00:15:28.340><c> the</c><00:15:28.659><c> flesh.</c>

00:15:29.019 --> 00:15:35.519
Believe<00:15:29.419><c> me,</c><00:15:31.440><c> you'll</c><00:15:31.679><c> be</c><00:15:31.860><c> amazed</c><00:15:32.379><c> as</c><00:15:32.980><c> you</c><00:15:33.779><c> pass</c><00:15:34.279><c> the</c><00:15:34.480><c> decades.</c>

00:15:36.059 --> 00:15:39.080
It's<00:15:36.240><c> as</c><00:15:36.580><c> strong</c><00:15:36.840><c> today</c><00:15:37.220><c> as</c><00:15:37.480><c> it</c><00:15:37.720><c> ever</c><00:15:38.019><c> was.</c>

00:15:47.919 --> 00:15:50.740
You<00:15:48.059><c> know</c><00:15:48.200><c> when</c><00:15:48.320><c> my</c><00:15:48.559><c> mother</c><00:15:48.740><c> would</c><00:15:49.000><c> get</c><00:15:49.200><c> on</c><00:15:49.340><c> him</c><00:15:49.500><c> and</c><00:15:49.659><c> so</c><00:15:49.860><c> on.</c>

00:15:50.820 --> 00:15:52.600
It<00:15:51.059><c> does</c><00:15:51.580><c> not</c><00:15:51.899><c> diminish.</c>

00:15:52.600 --> 00:15:57.100
The<00:15:53.419><c> flesh</c><00:15:53.740><c> will</c><00:15:54.000><c> be</c><00:15:54.159><c> the</c><00:15:54.299><c> flesh</c><00:15:54.820><c> right</c><00:15:55.299><c> up</c><00:15:55.580><c> to</c><00:15:55.740><c> the</c><00:15:55.960><c> end.</c>

What<00:16:01.120><c> must</c><00:16:01.419><c> happen</c><00:16:01.820><c> is</c><00:16:02.059><c> that</c><00:16:02.220><c> the</c><00:16:02.440><c> spiritual</c><00:16:02.779><c> mind</c><00:16:03.120><c> finally</c>

And<00:17:12.619><c> too</c><00:17:12.859><c> often</c><00:17:13.059><c> I'd</c><00:17:13.380><c> make</c><00:17:13.460><c> it</c><00:17:13.680><c> worse.</c>

00:17:14.700 --> 00:17:17.420
And<00:17:14.900><c> I'd</c><00:17:15.240><c> recognize</c><00:17:15.859><c> quickly</c><00:17:16.779><c> afterwards.</c>

00:17:17.420 --> 00:17:21.259
I<00:17:18.240><c> tried</c><00:17:19.000><c> to</c><00:17:19.299><c> do</c><00:17:19.380><c> this</c><00:17:19.559><c> in</c><00:17:19.720><c> my</c><00:17:19.940><c> own</c><00:17:20.319><c> strength.</c><00:17:20.660><c> I</c><00:17:20.700><c> never</c><00:17:20.880><c> even</c>

00:17:21.259 --> 00:17:23.140
thought<00:17:21.460><c> of</c><00:17:21.700><c> asking</c><00:17:21.980><c> this</c><00:17:22.259><c> help.</c>

00:17:23.980 --> 00:17:26.380
I'll<00:17:24.180><c> tell</c><00:17:24.279><c> you</c><00:17:24.359><c> it</c><00:17:24.440><c> makes</c><00:17:24.740><c> a</c><00:17:24.859><c> tremendous</c><00:17:25.240><c> difference.</c>

00:17:27.960 --> 00:17:31.900
And<00:17:28.000><c> it's</c><00:17:28.240><c> a</c><00:17:28.319><c> duty</c><00:17:28.519><c> to</c><00:17:28.779><c> ourselves</c><00:17:29.339><c> if</c><00:17:29.720><c> we're</c><00:17:29.880><c> going</c><00:17:30.059><c> to</c><00:17:30.279><c> improve</c><00:17:30.640><c> and</c><00:17:31.640><c> be</c>

00:17:34.920 --> 00:17:37.559
Prayer<00:17:35.259><c> should</c><00:17:35.720><c> be</c><00:17:36.519><c> a</c><00:17:36.660><c> delight.</c>

00:17:40.079 --> 00:17:46.859
Well,<00:17:41.160><c> just</c><00:17:41.460><c> quickly,</c><00:17:43.440><c> what</c><00:17:43.619><c> we're</c><00:17:43.779><c> hoping</c><00:17:44.059><c> to</c><00:17:44.259><c> do,</c><00:17:46.559><c> today</c>

00:17:46.859 --> 00:17:51.059
we'll<00:17:47.099><c> cover</c><00:17:47.380><c> some</c><00:17:49.579><c> key</c><00:17:49.900><c> principles.</c>

00:17:52.119 --> 00:17:54.759
And<00:17:52.119><c> then</c><00:17:52.440><c> we'll</c><00:17:52.940><c> work</c><00:17:53.160><c> our</c><00:17:53.339><c> way</c><00:17:53.500><c> through</c><00:17:54.160><c> the</c><00:17:54.460><c> scripture,</c>

00:18:00.559 --> 00:18:02.380
Tremendous,<00:18:01.160><c> wonderful</c><00:18:01.759><c> examples.</c>

00:18:02.380 --> 00:18:06.700
Too<00:18:03.119><c> easy</c><00:18:03.359><c> to</c><00:18:03.640><c> pass</c><00:18:03.839><c> right</c><00:18:04.079><c> over</c><00:18:04.420><c> the</c><00:18:04.779><c> key</c><00:18:05.039><c> points</c><00:18:05.940><c> about</c><00:18:06.220><c> prayer</c><00:18:06.519><c> in</c>

00:18:06.700 --> 00:18:08.079
the<00:18:06.839><c> daily</c><00:18:07.079><c> readings.</c>

00:18:08.319 --> 00:18:12.480
David<00:18:08.460><c> in</c><00:18:08.640><c> the</c><00:18:08.859><c> Psalms</c><00:18:09.259><c> is</c><00:18:11.339><c> unbelievable.</c>

00:18:12.779 --> 00:18:15.420
There's<00:18:13.259><c> no</c><00:18:13.460><c> question</c><00:18:13.720><c> in</c><00:18:13.900><c> my</c><00:18:13.980><c> mind</c><00:18:14.140><c> why</c><00:18:14.339><c> he</c><00:18:14.460><c> was</c><00:18:14.900><c> a</c><00:18:15.039><c> man</c><00:18:15.180><c> after</c>

00:18:15.420 --> 00:18:16.940
God's<00:18:15.819><c> own</c><00:18:15.980><c> heart.</c>

00:18:18.140 --> 00:18:20.940
Solomon,<00:18:18.619><c> Hezekiah,</c><00:18:19.220><c> Ezra,</c><00:18:19.720><c> Nehemiah.</c>

00:18:21.980 --> 00:18:24.220
And<00:18:22.160><c> then</c><00:18:22.259><c> we'll</c><00:18:22.400><c> look</c><00:18:22.559><c> at</c><00:18:22.700><c> prayer</c><00:18:22.900><c> in</c><00:18:23.019><c> the</c><00:18:23.220><c> prophets.</c>

00:18:24.920 --> 00:18:28.339
Prayer<00:18:25.140><c> in</c><00:18:25.319><c> the</c><00:18:25.460><c> Gospels</c><00:18:25.759><c> is</c><00:18:25.960><c> mostly</c><00:18:26.319><c> the</c><00:18:26.519><c> Lord</c><00:18:26.720><c> Jesus</c><00:18:27.119><c> Christ.</c>

00:18:29.099 --> 00:18:34.160
I<00:18:29.619><c> was</c><00:18:29.859><c> somewhat</c><00:18:30.680><c> amazed</c><00:18:32.640><c> to</c><00:18:32.859><c> find</c><00:18:33.099><c> out</c><00:18:33.220><c> how</c><00:18:33.380><c> many</c><00:18:33.599><c> times</c><00:18:33.940><c> we</c>

00:18:34.160 --> 00:18:35.559
find<00:18:34.420><c> him</c><00:18:34.599><c> praying.</c>

00:18:36.640 --> 00:18:40.759
For<00:18:36.859><c> example,</c><00:18:39.000><c> when</c><00:18:39.079><c> he's</c><00:18:39.380><c> baptized</c><00:18:39.839><c> and</c><00:18:40.039><c> he</c><00:18:40.160><c> comes</c><00:18:40.400><c> up</c><00:18:40.619><c> out</c>

00:18:40.759 --> 00:18:44.180
of<00:18:40.859><c> the</c><00:18:41.000><c> water,</c><00:18:42.160><c> the</c><00:18:42.319><c> record</c><00:18:42.599><c> says</c><00:18:42.880><c> he</c><00:18:43.000><c> was</c><00:18:43.259><c> praying.</c>

00:18:44.940 --> 00:18:46.700
Think<00:18:45.240><c> about</c><00:18:45.619><c> it.</c>

00:18:47.140 --> 00:18:51.359
And<00:18:47.380><c> I</c><00:18:47.559><c> realized</c><00:18:48.000><c> I</c><00:18:48.220><c> wish</c><00:18:48.519><c> I</c><00:18:48.759><c> had</c><00:18:48.880><c> those</c><00:18:49.119><c> insights</c><00:18:49.559><c> when</c><00:18:49.779><c> I</c><00:18:49.980><c> was</c><00:18:50.240><c> baptized.</c>

00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:54.579
He<00:18:52.680><c> knew</c><00:18:52.839><c> what</c><00:18:53.180><c> baptism</c><00:18:53.500><c> meant.</c>

00:18:54.940 --> 00:18:58.759
I've<00:18:55.500><c> got</c><00:18:55.640><c> to</c><00:18:55.799><c> deny</c><00:18:56.160><c> self</c><00:18:56.980><c> every</c><00:18:57.539><c> hour</c><00:18:58.000><c> of</c><00:18:58.279><c> every</c><00:18:58.579><c> day.</c>

00:18:58.839 --> 00:19:01.299
I've<00:18:58.980><c> got</c><00:18:59.079><c> to</c><00:18:59.240><c> take</c><00:18:59.400><c> this</c><00:18:59.700><c> body</c><00:18:59.960><c> of</c><00:19:00.200><c> sin</c><00:19:00.319><c> to</c><00:19:00.539><c> the</c><00:19:00.759><c> cross</c><00:19:01.119><c> that</c>

00:19:01.299 --> 00:19:03.019
he's<00:19:01.720><c> praying.</c>

00:19:04.079 --> 00:19:07.859
Because<00:19:04.460><c> baptism</c><00:19:04.799><c> was</c><00:19:05.140><c> his</c><00:19:05.480><c> promise,</c><00:19:06.279><c> his</c><00:19:06.440><c> earnest</c><00:19:07.000><c> pledge</c>

00:19:07.859 --> 00:19:11.519
that<00:19:09.359><c> that's</c><00:19:09.720><c> exactly</c><00:19:10.039><c> what</c><00:19:10.200><c> he</c><00:19:10.299><c> would</c><00:19:10.500><c> do.</c>

00:19:13.700 --> 00:19:15.880
It's<00:19:13.900><c> just</c><00:19:14.039><c> a</c><00:19:14.180><c> wonderful</c><00:19:14.440><c> example</c><00:19:14.920><c> of</c><00:19:15.119><c> where</c><00:19:15.299><c> prayer</c><00:19:15.539><c> comes</c>

00:19:15.880 --> 00:19:17.339
into<00:19:16.319><c> it.</c>

00:19:18.559 --> 00:19:21.420
And<00:19:18.680><c> then</c><00:19:18.960><c> finally</c><00:19:19.319><c> prayer</c><00:19:20.059><c> in</c><00:19:20.200><c> the</c><00:19:20.400><c> Acts</c><00:19:20.539><c> and</c><00:19:20.660><c> Epistles,</c><00:19:21.019><c> which</c><00:19:21.220><c> is</c>

00:19:22.119 --> 00:19:27.059
I<00:19:22.900><c> think</c><00:19:23.160><c> you'll</c><00:19:23.980><c> recognize</c><00:19:24.619><c> all</c><00:19:24.920><c> the</c><00:19:25.079><c> verses,</c><00:19:26.339><c> but</c><00:19:26.660><c> Paul's</c>

00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:36.759
That<00:19:30.500><c> wants</c><00:19:30.759><c> to</c><00:19:31.099><c> become</c><00:19:31.299><c> a</c><00:19:31.619><c> big</c><00:19:31.880><c> slice</c><00:19:32.240><c> of</c><00:19:32.579><c> prayer,</c><00:19:34.279><c> a</c><00:19:34.500><c> big</c><00:19:34.700><c> part</c><00:19:34.960><c> of</c><00:19:35.160><c> it.</c>

00:19:36.940 --> 00:19:40.099
Specifically<00:19:37.559><c> mentioning</c><00:19:38.180><c> the</c><00:19:38.539><c> names</c><00:19:38.920><c> of</c><00:19:39.160><c> those</c><00:19:39.500><c> who</c><00:19:39.740><c> need</c>

00:19:40.099 --> 00:19:41.500
God's<00:19:40.680><c> help.</c>

00:19:42.259 --> 00:19:45.019
It<00:19:42.539><c> will</c><00:19:42.799><c> change</c><00:19:43.180><c> your</c><00:19:43.539><c> own</c><00:19:43.900><c> attitude</c><00:19:44.400><c> toward</c><00:19:44.799><c> them.</c>

00:19:45.039 --> 00:19:49.039
It<00:19:45.140><c> will</c><00:19:45.339><c> make</c><00:19:45.519><c> you</c><00:19:45.819><c> willing</c><00:19:46.140><c> to</c><00:19:46.400><c> be</c><00:19:46.559><c> useful</c><00:19:46.960><c> when</c><00:19:47.200><c> the</c><00:19:47.420><c> opportunity</c><00:19:47.940><c> comes.</c>

00:19:50.319 --> 00:19:56.420
And<00:19:50.880><c> Paul</c><00:19:51.440><c> asked</c><00:19:53.099><c> them</c><00:19:53.259><c> to</c><00:19:53.500><c> pray</c><00:19:53.660><c> for</c><00:19:53.940><c> him.</c><00:19:54.200><c> He</c><00:19:54.359><c> knew</c><00:19:54.579><c> the</c><00:19:54.859><c> power</c><00:19:55.119><c> of</c><00:19:55.440><c> prayer.</c>

00:20:14.539 --> 00:20:20.059
Well,<00:20:15.359><c> it's</c><00:20:15.519><c> essential</c><00:20:15.940><c> because</c><00:20:17.519><c> you</c><00:20:18.799><c> and</c><00:20:18.980><c> I</c><00:20:19.119><c> are</c><00:20:19.440><c> called</c><00:20:19.779><c> to</c>

It's<00:20:32.559><c> essential</c><00:20:33.119><c> to</c><00:20:34.740><c> be</c><00:20:35.039><c> transformed</c><00:20:35.619><c> into</c><00:20:35.880><c> spiritual</c><00:20:36.420><c> sons</c>

00:20:36.799 --> 00:20:40.220

00:20:40.220 --> 00:20:47.599
You'll<00:20:41.240><c> see</c><00:20:41.460><c> it</c><00:20:42.779><c> when</c><00:20:43.180><c> Paul</c><00:20:43.440><c> talks</c><00:20:43.759><c> about</c><00:20:44.359><c> sharing</c><00:20:45.200><c> God's</c><00:20:46.700><c> nature.</c>

00:20:48.440 --> 00:20:50.440
It's<00:20:48.640><c> very</c><00:20:48.980><c> clear</c><00:20:49.180><c> that</c><00:20:49.400><c> you</c><00:20:49.559><c> and</c><00:20:49.640><c> I</c><00:20:49.720><c> have</c><00:20:49.839><c> got</c><00:20:49.920><c> to</c><00:20:50.059><c> learn</c><00:20:50.180><c> to</c>

00:20:53.599 --> 00:20:55.920
And<00:20:53.740><c> that's</c><00:20:53.880><c> where</c><00:20:54.079><c> prayer</c><00:20:54.380><c> is</c><00:20:54.660><c> so</c><00:20:54.880><c> essential.</c>

00:20:57.160 --> 00:20:59.279
If<00:20:57.319><c> we</c><00:20:57.440><c> can</c><00:20:57.599><c> get</c><00:20:57.779><c> hold</c><00:20:57.960><c> of</c><00:20:58.079><c> what</c><00:20:58.240><c> we've</c><00:20:58.440><c> really</c><00:20:58.720><c> been</c><00:20:58.980><c> called</c>

00:20:59.279 --> 00:21:01.640

00:21:02.559 --> 00:21:05.640
we'll<00:21:03.079><c> be</c><00:21:03.259><c> more</c><00:21:03.500><c> concerned</c><00:21:04.000><c> about</c><00:21:04.299><c> learning</c><00:21:04.619><c> to</c><00:21:04.880><c> pray</c><00:21:05.019><c> effectively.</c>

00:21:05.640 --> 00:21:10.359
No<00:21:06.299><c> one</c><00:21:06.579><c> will</c><00:21:06.819><c> gain</c><00:21:07.039><c> the</c><00:21:07.259><c> kingdom</c><00:21:07.579><c> without</c><00:21:08.039><c> prayer,</c><00:21:08.640><c> I'm</c><00:21:08.880><c> convinced</c><00:21:09.359><c> of</c><00:21:09.559><c> it.</c>

00:21:10.680 --> 00:21:12.960
You<00:21:10.779><c> cannot</c><00:21:11.160><c> do</c><00:21:11.400><c> it</c><00:21:11.500><c> in</c><00:21:11.680><c> your</c><00:21:11.859><c> own</c><00:21:12.099><c> strength.</c>

00:21:14.500 --> 00:21:18.339
Prayer<00:21:14.759><c> is</c><00:21:15.059><c> urgent,</c><00:21:15.819><c> intense,</c><00:21:16.720><c> fervent,</c><00:21:17.380><c> effective</c><00:21:17.740><c> when</c><00:21:18.000><c> we</c>

00:21:18.339 --> 00:21:22.119
care<00:21:18.660><c> deeply</c><00:21:19.259><c> about</c><00:21:20.400><c> the</c><00:21:20.599><c> welfare</c><00:21:20.940><c> of</c><00:21:21.200><c> others.</c>

00:21:23.920 --> 00:21:28.759
It's<00:21:24.380><c> marvelous</c><00:21:24.880><c> when</c><00:21:25.039><c> you</c><00:21:25.299><c> begin</c><00:21:25.599><c> to</c><00:21:25.859><c> recognize</c><00:21:26.359><c> how</c><00:21:27.700><c> meaningful</c><00:21:28.160><c> it</c><00:21:28.359><c> is</c>

00:21:28.759 --> 00:21:32.099

00:21:32.440 --> 00:21:37.480
Not<00:21:33.000><c> just</c><00:21:33.440><c> generally,</c><00:21:35.039><c> but</c><00:21:35.259><c> specific</c><00:21:36.019><c> situations.</c>

00:21:39.819 --> 00:21:42.700
When<00:21:39.859><c> we</c><00:21:40.059><c> realize</c><00:21:40.480><c> fully</c><00:21:40.839><c> our</c><00:21:41.059><c> own</c><00:21:41.279><c> need</c><00:21:41.519><c> and</c><00:21:41.759><c> when</c><00:21:41.980><c> we</c><00:21:42.299><c> live</c>

00:21:42.700 --> 00:21:45.200
in<00:21:43.180><c> harmony</c><00:21:43.579><c> with</c><00:21:44.000><c> our</c><00:21:44.220><c> prayers.</c>

00:21:45.640 --> 00:21:48.539
It's<00:21:45.779><c> a</c><00:21:45.819><c> marvelous</c><00:21:46.259><c> constraint</c><00:21:46.759><c> on</c><00:21:47.160><c> our</c><00:21:47.359><c> way</c><00:21:47.559><c> of</c><00:21:47.700><c> life</c><00:21:47.920><c> if</c><00:21:48.160><c> we</c>

00:21:48.539 --> 00:21:51.619

00:21:51.960 --> 00:21:53.700
Because<00:21:52.339><c> you</c><00:21:52.779><c> can't</c><00:21:53.059><c> do</c><00:21:53.319><c> it.</c>

00:21:54.160 --> 00:21:57.859
I'm<00:21:54.440><c> convinced</c><00:21:54.779><c> I</c><00:21:54.920><c> could</c><00:21:55.180><c> never</c><00:21:55.359><c> do</c><00:21:55.579><c> it</c><00:21:55.700><c> when</c><00:21:55.839><c> my</c><00:21:56.079><c> life</c><00:21:56.240><c> was</c><00:21:56.680><c> out</c><00:21:56.880><c> of</c><00:21:57.059><c> harmony.</c>

00:21:58.240 --> 00:22:02.119
I<00:21:58.759><c> can't</c><00:21:59.180><c> watch</c><00:21:59.539><c> the</c><00:21:59.759><c> world's</c><00:22:00.240><c> media</c><00:22:00.460><c> for</c><00:22:00.720><c> two</c><00:22:00.980><c> hours</c><00:22:01.319><c> and</c><00:22:01.519><c> then</c><00:22:01.700><c> expect</c><00:22:01.960><c> to</c>

00:22:02.119 --> 00:22:03.759
get<00:22:02.200><c> on</c><00:22:02.400><c> my</c><00:22:02.579><c> knees</c><00:22:02.799><c> and</c><00:22:03.059><c> effectively</c><00:22:03.519><c> pray.</c>

00:22:03.880 --> 00:22:07.400
It<00:22:04.119><c> won't</c><00:22:04.359><c> happen.</c><00:22:05.759><c> You</c><00:22:05.940><c> all</c><00:22:06.099><c> know</c><00:22:06.339><c> that.</c>

00:22:08.279 --> 00:22:11.299
So<00:22:08.559><c> prayer</c><00:22:08.660><c> is</c><00:22:08.960><c> another</c><00:22:09.220><c> one</c><00:22:09.400><c> of</c><00:22:09.519><c> the</c><00:22:09.660><c> ways</c><00:22:09.920><c> in</c><00:22:10.059><c> which</c><00:22:10.259><c> God</c><00:22:10.500><c> is</c>

00:22:11.299 --> 00:22:15.740
attempting<00:22:11.700><c> to</c><00:22:12.000><c> bring</c><00:22:12.160><c> us</c><00:22:12.420><c> to</c><00:22:12.579><c> his</c><00:22:13.859><c> spiritual</c><00:22:14.400><c> mind</c><00:22:14.720><c> and</c><00:22:14.940><c> heart.</c>

00:22:17.200 --> 00:22:18.880
How<00:22:17.440><c> should</c><00:22:17.660><c> we</c><00:22:17.920><c> pray?</c>

00:22:19.460 --> 00:22:22.539
With<00:22:19.759><c> a</c><00:22:19.980><c> humble,</c><00:22:21.180><c> contrite</c><00:22:21.480><c> spirit.</c>

00:22:22.859 --> 00:22:25.779
Convinced<00:22:23.259><c> that</c><00:22:23.460><c> God</c><00:22:23.759><c> knows</c><00:22:24.240><c> what</c><00:22:24.480><c> is</c><00:22:24.740><c> best.</c>

00:22:27.220 --> 00:22:31.779
With<00:22:27.900><c> brevity,</c><00:22:29.119><c> simplicity,</c><00:22:30.819><c> secretly.</c>

00:22:32.839 --> 00:22:37.740
To<00:22:33.519><c> the</c><00:22:33.720><c> Father,</c><00:22:35.240><c> through</c><00:22:35.400><c> the</c><00:22:35.579><c> Son,</c><00:22:35.920><c> the</c><00:22:36.059><c> Lord</c><00:22:36.259><c> Jesus</c><00:22:36.599><c> Christ.</c>

00:22:38.480 --> 00:22:41.720
Prayer<00:22:38.700><c> must</c><00:22:39.039><c> be</c><00:22:39.299><c> from</c><00:22:39.599><c> the</c><00:22:39.859><c> heart</c><00:22:40.200><c> with</c><00:22:40.559><c> full</c><00:22:41.019><c> faith</c><00:22:41.359><c> in</c><00:22:41.539><c> the</c>

00:22:45.099 --> 00:22:47.940
We<00:22:45.339><c> need</c><00:22:45.559><c> to</c><00:22:45.740><c> enter</c><00:22:45.859><c> God's</c><00:22:46.380><c> presence</c><00:22:46.680><c> conscious</c><00:22:47.359><c> of</c><00:22:47.539><c> what</c><00:22:47.740><c> we</c>

00:22:49.720 --> 00:22:54.039
Making<00:22:50.000><c> a</c><00:22:50.299><c> deliberate</c><00:22:50.700><c> effort</c><00:22:51.160><c> to</c><00:22:51.420><c> control</c><00:22:52.059><c> our</c><00:22:52.460><c> wayward</c><00:22:52.839><c> thoughts.</c>

What<00:23:06.779><c> should</c><00:23:06.980><c> we</c><00:23:07.200><c> pray</c><00:23:07.420><c> about?</c>

00:23:10.319 --> 00:23:12.440
Again,<00:23:10.819><c> the</c><00:23:10.980><c> welfare</c><00:23:11.279><c> of</c><00:23:11.599><c> others.</c>

The<00:23:14.180><c> things</c><00:23:14.299><c> we</c><00:23:14.660><c> need.</c>

00:23:15.960 --> 00:23:17.640
That's<00:23:16.299><c> a</c><00:23:16.440><c> biggie.</c>

00:23:20.200 --> 00:23:23.099
You<00:23:20.759><c> know,</c><00:23:20.900><c> we've</c><00:23:21.180><c> got</c><00:23:21.319><c> that</c><00:23:21.500><c> note</c><00:23:21.680><c> down</c><00:23:21.900><c> at</c><00:23:22.440><c> the</c><00:23:22.519><c> bottom</c><00:23:22.819><c> there.</c>

00:23:30.339 --> 00:23:32.839

00:23:35.880 --> 00:23:39.099
They<00:23:36.039><c> were</c><00:23:36.180><c> in</c><00:23:36.259><c> a</c><00:23:36.480><c> situation</c><00:23:37.000><c> that</c><00:23:37.880><c> wouldn't</c><00:23:38.259><c> have</c><00:23:38.440><c> been</c><00:23:38.579><c> three</c><00:23:38.799><c> days</c>

That's<00:26:53.000><c> why</c><00:26:53.160><c> we</c><00:26:54.759><c> get</c><00:26:55.119><c> cut</c><00:26:55.359><c> off</c><00:26:55.539><c> from</c><00:26:55.759><c> prayer</c><00:26:56.079><c> when</c><00:26:56.740><c> we're</c><00:26:56.980><c> obviously</c><00:26:57.539><c> not</c>

00:26:58.579 --> 00:27:03.839
in<00:27:00.099><c> that</c><00:27:00.400><c> way.</c>

00:27:04.819 --> 00:27:09.180
When<00:27:05.000><c> we</c><00:27:05.259><c> strive</c><00:27:05.500><c> to</c><00:27:05.680><c> do</c><00:27:05.779><c> His</c><00:27:06.019><c> will</c><00:27:06.240><c> with</c><00:27:06.539><c> steadfast,</c><00:27:07.400><c> upright</c><00:27:07.859><c> hearts,</c>

00:27:09.220 --> 00:27:12.480
pleading<00:27:09.660><c> for</c><00:27:09.859><c> what</c><00:27:10.039><c> He</c><00:27:10.220><c> has</c><00:27:10.480><c> promised,</c><00:27:10.920><c> that's</c><00:27:11.200><c> another</c><00:27:11.519><c> key.</c>

00:27:13.039 --> 00:27:17.200
He<00:27:13.220><c> wants</c><00:27:13.559><c> us</c><00:27:14.000><c> to</c><00:27:14.460><c> long</c><00:27:15.319><c> for</c><00:27:15.660><c> the</c><00:27:15.799><c> coming</c><00:27:15.980><c> of</c><00:27:16.180><c> our</c><00:27:16.380><c> Lord.</c>

00:27:18.940 --> 00:27:23.880
He<00:27:19.259><c> wants</c><00:27:19.519><c> us</c><00:27:19.779><c> to</c><00:27:19.960><c> ask</c><00:27:20.339><c> continually,</c><00:27:20.960><c> please,</c><00:27:21.920><c> to</c><00:27:22.039><c> get</c><00:27:22.200><c> me</c><00:27:22.420><c> ready</c><00:27:22.700><c> for</c><00:27:23.019><c> that.</c>

Keep<00:27:24.339><c> me</c><00:27:24.579><c> in</c><00:27:24.680><c> your</c><00:27:24.859><c> way.</c><00:27:24.980><c> You're</c><00:27:25.160><c> going</c><00:27:25.240><c> to</c><00:27:25.380><c> see</c><00:27:25.500><c> it</c><00:27:25.619><c> with</c><00:27:25.740><c> David.</c>

00:27:27.140 --> 00:27:31.240
Teach<00:27:27.579><c> me</c><00:27:27.839><c> your</c><00:27:28.059><c> way,</c><00:27:28.339><c> lead</c><00:27:28.599><c> me</c><00:27:28.859><c> in</c><00:27:28.980><c> your</c><00:27:29.160><c> way,</c><00:27:29.539><c> keep</c><00:27:29.740><c> me</c><00:27:30.039><c> in</c><00:27:30.119><c> your</c><00:27:30.380><c> way,</c><00:27:30.640><c> and</c><00:27:30.819><c> so</c><00:27:31.039><c> on.</c>

00:27:31.319 --> 00:27:34.059
That<00:27:31.500><c> was</c><00:27:31.779><c> His</c><00:27:32.119><c> constant</c><00:27:32.660><c> prayer.</c>

00:27:38.000 --> 00:27:43.319
And<00:27:38.599><c> when</c><00:27:38.839><c> we</c><00:27:39.140><c> accompany</c><00:27:39.700><c> prayer</c><00:27:40.299><c> with</c><00:27:40.779><c> action,</c><00:27:43.119><c> and</c><00:27:43.200><c> there</c>

00:27:43.319 --> 00:27:44.339
are<00:27:43.460><c> examples</c><00:27:43.799><c> of</c><00:27:44.039><c> it.</c>

00:27:44.420 --> 00:27:46.880
They<00:27:44.720><c> prayed</c><00:27:45.180><c> and</c><00:27:45.440><c> they</c><00:27:45.660><c> took</c><00:27:45.880><c> action.</c>

00:27:47.240 --> 00:27:48.900
Now<00:27:47.539><c> God</c><00:27:47.740><c> can</c><00:27:47.940><c> work</c><00:27:48.180><c> with</c><00:27:48.400><c> that.</c>

00:27:49.339 --> 00:27:50.579
That's<00:27:49.640><c> exactly</c><00:27:50.019><c> what</c><00:27:50.160><c> He</c><00:27:50.279><c> needs.</c>

00:27:50.759 --> 00:27:54.880
You<00:27:50.799><c> cannot</c><00:27:51.119><c> just</c><00:27:51.539><c> pray</c><00:27:51.880><c> and</c><00:27:52.160><c> then</c><00:27:53.400><c> sort</c><00:27:53.759><c> of</c><00:27:53.880><c> leave</c><00:27:54.019><c> it</c><00:27:54.220><c> in</c><00:27:54.259><c> His</c><00:27:54.579><c> hands.</c>

00:27:55.240 --> 00:28:01.700
There<00:27:55.559><c> are</c><00:27:55.799><c> some</c><00:27:57.000><c> extreme</c><00:27:57.819><c> situations</c><00:27:58.460><c> where</c><00:27:58.660><c> that's</c><00:27:58.839><c> all</c><00:27:59.000><c> you</c><00:27:59.200><c> can</c><00:27:59.480><c> do,</c><00:28:00.480><c> serious</c><00:28:00.799><c> illness</c><00:28:01.200><c> and</c><00:28:01.400><c> so</c><00:28:01.579><c> on.</c>

00:28:01.700 --> 00:28:08.500
But<00:28:02.380><c> most</c><00:28:03.619><c> of</c><00:28:03.759><c> what</c><00:28:03.900><c> we're</c><00:28:04.160><c> talking</c><00:28:04.400><c> about</c><00:28:04.799><c> involves</c><00:28:05.700><c> some</c><00:28:07.220><c> action</c><00:28:08.259><c> on</c>

00:28:08.500 --> 00:28:11.680
our<00:28:08.779><c> part</c><00:28:09.039><c> to</c><00:28:09.359><c> be</c><00:28:09.839><c> effective</c><00:28:10.200><c> workers</c><00:28:10.559><c> with</c><00:28:10.799><c> Him.</c>

00:28:12.980 --> 00:28:16.859
And<00:28:13.200><c> obviously</c><00:28:13.559><c> God</c><00:28:13.819><c> may</c><00:28:14.039><c> deny</c><00:28:14.440><c> our</c><00:28:14.980><c> petition.</c><00:28:16.059><c> He</c><00:28:16.259><c> may</c><00:28:16.460><c> delay</c>

00:28:16.859 --> 00:28:21.099
it<00:28:17.700><c> for</c><00:28:18.920><c> months</c><00:28:19.619><c> or</c><00:28:19.880><c> years.</c>

00:28:21.200 --> 00:28:24.579
And<00:28:21.359><c> we</c><00:28:21.559><c> finally</c><00:28:21.779><c> come</c><00:28:22.000><c> to</c><00:28:22.220><c> recognize</c><00:28:22.720><c> why.</c><00:28:23.740><c> It's</c><00:28:24.119><c> all</c><00:28:24.339><c> for</c>

00:28:24.579 --> 00:28:25.559
our<00:28:24.819><c> good.</c>

00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:29.200
And<00:28:26.619><c> when</c><00:28:26.819><c> will</c><00:28:27.039><c> God</c><00:28:27.259><c> not</c><00:28:27.599><c> hear</c><00:28:27.960><c> or</c><00:28:28.200><c> respond</c><00:28:28.599><c> to</c><00:28:28.880><c> prayer?</c>

00:28:29.460 --> 00:28:34.740
When<00:28:29.619><c> we</c><00:28:29.859><c> neglect</c><00:28:30.200><c> the</c><00:28:30.460><c> Word,</c><00:28:33.880><c> haven't</c><00:28:34.059><c> done</c><00:28:34.220><c> our</c><00:28:34.400><c> readings</c>

00:28:34.740 --> 00:28:37.559
or<00:28:35.019><c> haven't</c><00:28:35.240><c> done</c><00:28:35.380><c> them</c><00:28:35.559><c> effectively</c><00:28:36.059><c> or</c><00:28:36.259><c> whatever</c><00:28:36.539><c> it</c><00:28:36.799><c> is.</c>

00:28:37.920 --> 00:28:43.539
When<00:28:38.180><c> we</c><00:28:38.500><c> mistreat</c><00:28:39.079><c> one</c><00:28:39.400><c> another,</c><00:28:41.859><c> see</c><00:28:41.980><c> how</c><00:28:42.319><c> inconsistent</c><00:28:42.980><c> that</c><00:28:43.220><c> is</c>

00:28:43.539 --> 00:28:45.640
with<00:28:43.940><c> them</c><00:28:44.259><c> pleading</c><00:28:44.579><c> in</c><00:28:44.880><c> prayer?</c>

00:28:46.019 --> 00:28:51.660
When<00:28:46.619><c> we</c><00:28:46.900><c> cater</c><00:28:47.279><c> to</c><00:28:47.599><c> our</c><00:28:47.940><c> flesh</c><00:28:48.660><c> and</c><00:28:50.059><c> when</c><00:28:50.180><c> we</c><00:28:50.500><c> ask</c><00:28:50.759><c> amiss</c><00:28:51.240><c> with</c>

wrong<00:28:52.180><c> motives.</c>

00:28:58.039 --> 00:29:05.420
So<00:28:58.180><c> again,</c><00:28:59.380><c> why</c><00:28:59.799><c> is</c><00:29:00.140><c> prayer</c><00:29:00.700><c> so</c><00:29:03.980><c> vital</c><00:29:04.259><c> and</c><00:29:04.539><c> essential?</c>

00:29:06.099 --> 00:29:08.660
Well<00:29:06.259><c> you</c><00:29:06.359><c> saw</c><00:29:06.579><c> it</c><00:29:06.740><c> in</c><00:29:06.819><c> the</c><00:29:06.920><c> hymn</c><00:29:07.019><c> we</c><00:29:07.259><c> started</c><00:29:07.539><c> with.</c>

00:29:09.299 --> 00:29:11.759
We<00:29:09.619><c> bring</c><00:29:09.839><c> our</c><00:29:10.119><c> prayers</c><00:29:10.500><c> and</c><00:29:10.759><c> what</c><00:29:10.880><c> do</c><00:29:10.980><c> they</c><00:29:11.099><c> lead</c><00:29:11.259><c> to</c><00:29:11.460><c> in</c><00:29:11.599><c> the</c>

The<00:29:13.460><c> kingdom</c><00:29:13.740><c> of</c><00:29:13.980><c> God.</c>

00:29:17.660 --> 00:29:22.380
You<00:29:17.740><c> and</c><00:29:17.980><c> I</c><00:29:18.119><c> are</c><00:29:18.420><c> called</c><00:29:18.619><c> to</c><00:29:18.839><c> be</c><00:29:19.039><c> partakers</c><00:29:19.660><c> of</c><00:29:19.960><c> the</c><00:29:20.200><c> divine</c><00:29:20.500><c> nature</c><00:29:21.119><c> in</c>

a<00:29:22.599><c> moral</c><00:29:22.980><c> sense</c><00:29:23.759><c> now.</c>

00:29:27.119 --> 00:29:30.240
I<00:29:27.640><c> can</c><00:29:27.799><c> remember</c><00:29:28.160><c> several</c><00:29:28.500><c> years</c><00:29:28.819><c> ago</c><00:29:29.059><c> Jim</c><00:29:29.339><c> coming</c><00:29:29.599><c> to</c><00:29:29.799><c> me</c><00:29:29.940><c> and</c><00:29:30.119><c> saying,</c>

00:29:30.380 --> 00:29:35.220
you<00:29:30.420><c> know,</c><00:29:30.940><c> 2</c><00:29:31.099><c> Peter</c><00:29:31.420><c> 1,</c><00:29:32.200><c> he's</c><00:29:32.920><c> talking</c><00:29:33.119><c> about</c><00:29:33.420><c> right</c><00:29:33.759><c> now</c><00:29:34.579><c> as</c>

00:29:37.059 --> 00:29:38.859
This<00:29:37.259><c> isn't</c><00:29:37.480><c> just</c><00:29:37.779><c> something</c><00:29:37.960><c> that's</c><00:29:38.220><c> going</c><00:29:38.319><c> to</c><00:29:38.480><c> happen</c><00:29:38.680><c> when</c>

00:29:38.859 --> 00:29:40.480
the<00:29:39.119><c> spirit</c><00:29:39.299><c> of</c><00:29:39.319><c> nature</c><00:29:39.640><c> comes</c><00:29:39.940><c> upon</c><00:29:40.259><c> us.</c>

00:29:40.480 --> 00:29:44.099

00:42:27.280 --> 00:42:31.880
So<00:42:27.400><c> God's</c><00:42:28.139><c> promise</c><00:42:28.579><c> of</c><00:42:28.860><c> spiritual</c><00:42:29.400><c> wisdom,</c><00:42:30.340><c> his</c><00:42:30.539><c> assurance,</c>

00:42:40.519 --> 00:42:43.519
When<00:42:41.000><c> Paul</c><00:42:41.280><c> says</c><00:42:41.519><c> I</c><00:42:41.679><c> can</c><00:42:41.900><c> do</c><00:42:42.119><c> all</c><00:42:42.380><c> things</c><00:42:42.619><c> through</c><00:42:42.880><c> Christ</c><00:42:43.239><c> who</c>

Yes,<00:42:47.900><c> number</c><00:42:48.139><c> one,</c><00:42:48.300><c> the</c><00:42:48.519><c> Word</c><00:42:48.639><c> is</c><00:42:48.880><c> essential.</c>

00:42:49.679 --> 00:42:52.699
This<00:42:49.900><c> all</c><00:42:50.139><c> depends</c><00:42:50.539><c> on</c><00:42:51.239><c> the</c><00:42:51.500><c> extent</c><00:42:51.760><c> to</c><00:42:51.920><c> which</c><00:42:52.079><c> our</c><00:42:52.300><c> minds</c><00:42:52.460><c> are</c>

00:42:58.380 --> 00:43:01.260

00:43:05.119 --> 00:43:09.500

00:43:13.099 --> 00:43:15.840

00:47:45.440 --> 00:47:50.699
We've<00:47:45.820><c> got</c><00:47:45.820><c> to</c><00:47:45.960><c> believe</c><00:47:46.320><c> that</c><00:47:47.079><c> and</c><00:47:47.679><c> to</c><00:47:47.880><c> present</c><00:47:48.139><c> you</c><00:47:48.460><c> faultless</c><00:47:49.219><c> not</c><00:47:49.500><c> because</c><00:47:49.820><c> you're</c><00:47:50.059><c> without</c><00:47:50.420><c> sin</c>

00:47:52.239 --> 00:47:55.699

00:47:57.480 --> 00:48:00.860
That's<00:47:58.000><c> why</c><00:47:58.119><c> God</c><00:47:58.380><c> can</c><00:47:58.639><c> righteously</c><00:47:59.199><c> forgive</c><00:47:59.639><c> you</c><00:47:59.920><c> and</c><00:48:00.099><c> I.</c>

00:48:02.059 --> 00:48:05.500
It's<00:48:02.139><c> because</c><00:48:02.500><c> we</c><00:48:02.699><c> are</c><00:48:03.039><c> actually</c><00:48:03.619><c> part</c><00:48:04.099><c> of</c><00:48:04.539><c> the</c><00:48:04.699><c> Lord</c><00:48:04.880><c> Jesus</c><00:48:05.300><c> Christ.</c>

00:48:05.539 --> 00:48:09.099
We've<00:48:05.820><c> lost</c><00:48:06.019><c> our</c><00:48:06.239><c> own</c><00:48:06.460><c> identity.</c><00:48:07.300><c> It's</c><00:48:07.380><c> no</c><00:48:07.519><c> longer</c><00:48:07.739><c> I</c><00:48:07.960><c> who</c><00:48:08.159><c> live,</c><00:48:08.360><c> it's</c><00:48:08.599><c> Christ</c><00:48:08.900><c> who</c>

00:48:11.019 --> 00:48:14.739
And<00:48:11.219><c> now</c><00:48:11.519><c> God</c><00:48:11.760><c> can</c><00:48:12.059><c> righteously</c><00:48:12.699><c> forgive</c><00:48:13.300><c> our</c><00:48:13.719><c> transgression</c>

00:48:14.739 --> 00:48:18.000
because<00:48:15.940><c> we</c><00:48:16.260><c> are</c><00:48:16.500><c> part</c><00:48:16.780><c> of</c><00:48:17.119><c> the</c><00:48:17.260><c> Lord</c><00:48:17.420><c> Jesus</c><00:48:17.820><c> Christ.</c>

00:48:18.019 --> 00:48:20.599
Literally,<00:48:18.739><c> we</c><00:48:19.099><c> are</c><00:48:19.260><c> learning</c><00:48:19.500><c> to</c><00:48:19.739><c> be</c><00:48:19.900><c> like</c><00:48:20.119><c> him.</c>

00:48:20.920 --> 00:48:24.260
We<00:48:21.320><c> agree</c><00:48:21.619><c> totally</c><00:48:22.059><c> with</c><00:48:22.239><c> what</c><00:48:22.400><c> he</c><00:48:22.599><c> did.</c><00:48:22.840><c> We</c><00:48:23.059><c> identify</c><00:48:23.559><c> with</c><00:48:23.820><c> it.</c>

00:48:24.260 --> 00:48:27.679
We<00:48:24.619><c> are</c><00:48:24.980><c> striving</c><00:48:25.380><c> to</c><00:48:25.679><c> follow</c><00:48:25.940><c> in</c><00:48:26.119><c> his</c><00:48:26.380><c> steps.</c>

00:48:39.980 --> 00:48:45.599
Again,<00:48:40.239><c> it's</c><00:48:40.340><c> neat</c><00:48:40.659><c> to</c><00:48:41.500><c> go</c><00:48:41.699><c> back</c><00:48:42.039><c> to</c><00:48:44.280><c> our</c><00:48:44.519><c> pioneers.</c><00:48:45.320><c> Faith</c>

00:48:45.599 --> 00:48:47.739

00:48:49.300 --> 00:48:52.980
The<00:48:49.940><c> spirit</c><00:48:50.320><c> word</c><00:48:50.559><c> engenders</c><00:48:51.039><c> faith.</c><00:48:51.780><c> Faith</c><00:48:52.099><c> energizes</c><00:48:52.760><c> us</c>

00:48:55.880 --> 00:48:58.639
It's<00:48:56.519><c> a</c><00:48:56.800><c> continuous</c><00:48:57.340><c> process.</c>

00:48:59.199 --> 00:49:02.940
Genuine<00:48:59.559><c> faith</c><00:48:59.860><c> generates</c><00:49:00.340><c> obedience.</c><00:49:01.780><c> Obedience</c><00:49:02.420><c> proves</c>

00:49:02.940 --> 00:49:04.360
faith<00:49:03.300><c> is</c><00:49:03.559><c> real.</c>

00:49:04.619 --> 00:49:07.199
See,<00:49:04.800><c> that's</c><00:49:05.000><c> why</c><00:49:05.400><c> works</c><00:49:05.699><c> will</c><00:49:05.900><c> never</c><00:49:06.159><c> save</c><00:49:06.420><c> you.</c>

00:49:07.619 --> 00:49:11.679
But<00:49:07.820><c> in</c><00:49:08.559><c> effect,</c><00:49:08.980><c> unless</c><00:49:09.579><c> God's</c><00:49:10.360><c> kind</c><00:49:10.480><c> of</c><00:49:10.579><c> works</c><00:49:10.739><c> are</c><00:49:10.980><c> there,</c>

00:49:11.920 --> 00:49:14.980
then<00:49:12.179><c> faith</c><00:49:12.400><c> is</c><00:49:12.659><c> proven</c><00:49:13.000><c> vain</c><00:49:13.679><c> and</c><00:49:14.159><c> fruitless.</c>

00:49:17.380 --> 00:49:22.099
The<00:49:18.059><c> religion</c><00:49:18.440><c> of</c><00:49:18.659><c> Christ</c><00:49:19.059><c> is</c><00:49:19.280><c> a</c><00:49:19.420><c> religion</c><00:49:19.760><c> of</c><00:49:20.019><c> faith</c><00:49:20.440><c> and</c><00:49:20.860><c> obedience.</c>

00:49:23.059 --> 00:49:25.420
The<00:49:23.219><c> one</c><00:49:23.400><c> being</c><00:49:23.599><c> is</c><00:49:23.880><c> essential</c><00:49:24.260><c> and</c><00:49:24.579><c> important</c><00:49:24.820><c> as</c><00:49:25.059><c> the</c><00:49:25.219><c> other.</c>

00:49:25.460 --> 00:49:28.739

00:49:28.840 --> 00:49:33.300
That's<00:49:29.280><c> why</c><00:49:29.840><c> Abraham's</c><00:49:30.619><c> faith</c><00:49:31.039><c> was</c><00:49:31.400><c> counted</c><00:49:31.820><c> as</c><00:49:32.320><c> righteousness.</c>
