00:31:11.950 --> 00:31:14.829
something<00:31:12.329><c> that</c><00:31:12.509><c> we're</c><00:31:12.670><c> not</c><00:31:12.930><c> prone</c><00:31:13.190><c> to</c><00:31:13.410><c> do,</c><00:31:14.009><c> but</c><00:31:14.150><c> we</c><00:31:14.329><c> can</c><00:31:14.569><c> pray</c>

00:31:14.829 --> 00:31:18.390
together<00:31:15.549><c> and</c><00:31:16.309><c> we</c><00:31:16.369><c> can</c><00:31:16.730><c> share</c><00:31:16.950><c> the</c><00:31:17.170><c> load</c><00:31:17.329><c> together.</c>

00:31:18.769 --> 00:31:22.930
You<00:31:18.869><c> know,</c><00:31:18.910><c> we're</c><00:31:18.990><c> not</c><00:31:19.250><c> talking</c><00:31:19.630><c> about</c><00:31:20.109><c> Catholic</c><00:31:20.630><c> confessions</c><00:31:21.329><c> or</c><00:31:21.509><c> anything</c><00:31:21.769><c> like</c><00:31:22.109><c> that,</c>

00:31:27.230 --> 00:31:29.049
because<00:31:27.369><c> that's</c><00:31:27.670><c> not</c><00:31:27.930><c> God</c><00:31:28.250><c> honouring.</c>

00:31:29.750 --> 00:31:35.009
This<00:31:30.349><c> is</c><00:31:30.950><c> sin</c><00:31:31.170><c> acknowledged</c><00:31:31.869><c> and</c><00:31:32.250><c> repented</c><00:31:32.630><c> of,</c><00:31:33.230><c> not</c><00:31:33.730><c> publicised</c><00:31:34.690><c> in</c><00:31:34.849><c> all</c>

00:31:38.849 --> 00:31:41.549
It's<00:31:39.089><c> rather</c><00:31:39.450><c> genuinely</c><00:31:39.950><c> confessing</c><00:31:40.549><c> that</c><00:31:40.750><c> all</c><00:31:41.029><c> have</c><00:31:41.289><c> sinned</c>

00:31:59.990 --> 00:32:04.390
To<00:32:00.269><c> then</c><00:32:00.710><c> pray</c><00:32:01.190><c> out</c><00:32:01.490><c> of</c><00:32:01.769><c> loving</c><00:32:02.089><c> concern</c><00:32:02.869><c> for</c><00:32:03.269><c> each</c><00:32:03.750><c> other</c><00:32:04.089><c> can</c>

00:32:12.690 --> 00:32:18.569
It<00:32:13.509><c> goes</c><00:32:13.910><c> further</c><00:32:14.369><c> than</c><00:32:14.630><c> that</c><00:32:15.430><c> in</c><00:32:15.730><c> the</c><00:32:15.910><c> context</c><00:32:16.390><c> of</c><00:32:16.869><c> this</c><00:32:17.910><c> epistle,</c>

James<00:32:23.789><c> is</c><00:32:24.150><c> urging</c><00:32:24.670><c> the</c><00:32:24.970><c> members</c><00:32:25.269><c> to</c><00:32:25.710><c> pray</c><00:32:26.390><c> for</c><00:32:27.950><c> reconciliation,</c><00:32:32.369><c> that</c><00:32:32.490><c> we</c><00:32:32.670><c> may</c>

00:32:52.710 --> 00:32:55.730
That's<00:32:53.430><c> the</c><00:32:53.670><c> prayerful</c><00:32:54.029><c> attitude</c><00:32:54.430><c> of</c><00:32:54.670><c> the</c><00:32:54.890><c> peacemakers,</c><00:32:55.589><c> and</c>

We<00:33:19.049><c> can</c><00:33:19.390><c> energise</c><00:33:20.069><c> our</c><00:33:20.369><c> supplications,</c><00:33:21.190><c> they</c><00:33:21.390><c> can</c><00:33:21.609><c> be</c><00:33:22.009><c> powerful</c><00:33:22.670><c> in</c><00:33:23.170><c> their</c><00:33:23.410><c> operations</c><00:33:24.049><c> and</c>

00:33:35.390 --> 00:33:39.150

00:34:14.710 --> 00:34:17.789
He<00:34:15.150><c> had</c><00:34:15.449><c> prayed</c><00:34:15.789><c> for</c><00:34:15.989><c> the</c><00:34:16.110><c> widow's</c><00:34:16.590><c> son,</c><00:34:16.869><c> but</c><00:34:16.909><c> his</c><00:34:17.130><c> main</c><00:34:17.469><c> role</c>

00:34:21.349 --> 00:34:23.750
He<00:34:21.389><c> prayed</c><00:34:21.650><c> earnestly</c><00:34:22.130><c> that</c><00:34:22.269><c> it</c><00:34:22.369><c> might</c><00:34:22.590><c> not</c><00:34:22.869><c> rain.</c>

00:34:23.829 --> 00:34:25.929
And<00:34:23.949><c> it</c><00:34:24.110><c> rained</c><00:34:24.210><c> not</c><00:34:24.409><c> on</c><00:34:24.610><c> the</c><00:34:24.710><c> earth</c><00:34:24.829><c> but</c><00:34:25.010><c> a</c><00:34:25.230><c> space</c><00:34:25.449><c> of</c><00:34:25.670><c> three</c>

00:34:27.449 --> 00:34:30.250
And<00:34:27.630><c> this</c><00:34:27.809><c> was</c><00:34:28.050><c> an</c><00:34:28.329><c> agonising</c><00:34:28.929><c> in</c><00:34:29.190><c> prayer.</c><00:34:29.369><c> I</c><00:34:29.530><c> won't</c><00:34:29.630><c> go</c><00:34:29.869><c> through</c><00:34:30.030><c> the</c>

00:34:33.530 --> 00:34:35.070
fascinating<00:34:33.989><c> story.</c>

00:34:36.030 --> 00:34:41.170
But<00:34:36.190><c> it</c><00:34:36.289><c> was</c><00:34:36.469><c> an</c><00:34:36.710><c> agonising</c><00:34:37.269><c> in</c><00:34:37.610><c> prayer.</c><00:34:39.289><c> It</c><00:34:39.510><c> was</c><00:34:39.730><c> an</c><00:34:40.150><c> absolute</c><00:34:40.570><c> submission.</c>

00:34:41.170 --> 00:34:50.309
It<00:34:42.309><c> was</c><00:34:42.590><c> a</c><00:34:43.250><c> trust</c><00:34:43.550><c> and</c><00:34:43.889><c> a</c><00:34:44.469><c> surrender</c><00:34:45.010><c> of</c><00:34:45.969><c> the</c><00:34:46.449><c> human</c><00:34:46.949><c> personality</c><00:34:47.670><c> to</c><00:34:48.309><c> the</c><00:34:48.570><c> will</c><00:34:48.949><c> of</c>

the<00:34:50.510><c> divine</c><00:34:51.010><c> Lord</c><00:34:51.409><c> of</c><00:34:51.710><c> all.</c>

00:34:52.630 --> 00:34:57.150
He's<00:34:52.889><c> in</c><00:34:53.110><c> effect</c><00:34:53.369><c> saying,</c><00:34:53.929><c> thy</c><00:34:54.449><c> will</c><00:34:55.289><c> be</c><00:34:56.269><c> done.</c>

00:34:58.230 --> 00:35:02.670
So<00:34:58.489><c> this</c><00:34:58.670><c> was</c><00:34:58.929><c> true</c><00:34:59.230><c> faith,</c><00:34:59.630><c> and</c><00:34:59.809><c> this</c><00:35:00.050><c> was</c><00:35:00.389><c> acceptable</c><00:35:01.329><c> prayer.</c>

00:35:03.889 --> 00:35:09.489

Or<00:35:18.269><c> is</c><00:35:18.530><c> it</c><00:35:19.329><c> somewhat</c><00:35:19.750><c> intermittent?</c>

00:35:23.230 --> 00:35:26.989
Is<00:35:23.449><c> it</c><00:35:23.849><c> somewhat</c><00:35:24.329><c> a</c><00:35:24.829><c> fleeting</c><00:35:25.530><c> experience?</c>

00:35:28.530 --> 00:35:32.829

Well,<00:35:36.289><c> brothers</c><00:35:36.409><c> and</c><00:35:36.610><c> sisters,</c><00:35:37.170><c> let's</c><00:35:38.449><c> acknowledge</c><00:35:38.909><c> that.</c>

00:35:39.570 --> 00:35:43.530
But<00:35:39.570><c> let's</c><00:35:40.090><c> keep</c><00:35:40.650><c> trying</c><00:35:41.070><c> to</c><00:35:41.469><c> pray</c><00:35:41.949><c> without</c><00:35:42.469><c> ceasing.</c>

00:35:43.690 --> 00:35:47.409
We<00:35:43.789><c> ought</c><00:35:44.010><c> always</c><00:35:44.610><c> to</c><00:35:45.070><c> pray,</c><00:35:45.309><c> brothers</c><00:35:45.630><c> and</c><00:35:45.889><c> sisters,</c><00:35:46.210><c> to</c><00:35:46.409><c> continue</c><00:35:47.050><c> in</c>

00:35:51.030 --> 00:35:53.530
So<00:35:51.130><c> we're</c><00:35:51.510><c> drawing</c><00:35:51.769><c> nigh</c><00:35:52.050><c> to</c><00:35:52.230><c> God,</c><00:35:52.510><c> and</c><00:35:52.590><c> he</c><00:35:52.789><c> will</c><00:35:53.010><c> draw</c><00:35:53.250><c> nigh</c>

00:35:53.530 --> 00:35:56.329

00:35:56.349 --> 00:35:58.610
It's<00:35:56.969><c> so</c><00:35:57.289><c> beautiful</c><00:35:57.670><c> in</c><00:35:57.889><c> that</c><00:35:58.070><c> context.</c>

00:35:58.610 --> 00:36:05.650
So<00:35:59.730><c> he</c><00:36:00.010><c> prayed</c><00:36:00.329><c> again,</c><00:36:01.389><c> and</c><00:36:01.570><c> heaven</c><00:36:01.849><c> gave</c><00:36:02.309><c> rain,</c><00:36:03.349><c> and</c><00:36:03.489><c> the</c><00:36:03.570><c> earth</c><00:36:03.809><c> brought</c><00:36:04.130><c> forth</c><00:36:04.489><c> her</c><00:36:04.829><c> fruit.</c>

00:36:07.289 --> 00:36:11.750
Elijah's<00:36:07.869><c> prayer</c><00:36:08.190><c> was</c><00:36:08.469><c> not</c><00:36:08.769><c> just</c><00:36:09.210><c> a</c><00:36:09.309><c> mere</c><00:36:09.630><c> utterance</c><00:36:10.190><c> of</c><00:36:10.469><c> words.</c>

00:36:12.690 --> 00:36:15.989
And<00:36:12.849><c> God</c><00:36:13.110><c> responded</c><00:36:13.710><c> with</c><00:36:14.190><c> seed</c><00:36:14.510><c> germinating</c><00:36:15.230><c> and</c><00:36:15.710><c> much</c>

00:36:18.590 --> 00:36:21.070
Yet,<00:36:18.949><c> brothers</c><00:36:19.110><c> and</c><00:36:19.309><c> sisters,</c><00:36:19.829><c> when</c><00:36:19.989><c> you</c><00:36:20.110><c> read</c><00:36:20.329><c> the</c><00:36:20.590><c> story,</c>

00:36:30.050 --> 00:36:33.190
Jezebel<00:36:30.610><c> was</c><00:36:31.050><c> still</c><00:36:31.489><c> in</c><00:36:31.829><c> control.</c>

00:36:34.110 --> 00:36:36.710
And<00:36:34.130><c> it</c><00:36:34.250><c> was</c><00:36:34.250><c> only</c><00:36:34.570><c> through</c><00:36:34.889><c> the</c><00:36:35.190><c> still</c><00:36:35.469><c> small</c><00:36:35.889><c> voice</c><00:36:36.210><c> of</c><00:36:36.469><c> God,</c>

00:36:44.190 --> 00:36:47.550
God<00:36:44.909><c> that</c><00:36:45.929><c> the</c><00:36:46.110><c> people</c><00:36:46.389><c> were</c><00:36:46.670><c> turned</c><00:36:46.869><c> back</c><00:36:47.150><c> to</c><00:36:47.329><c> God.</c>

00:36:47.610 --> 00:36:50.590
And<00:36:47.690><c> there</c><00:36:47.750><c> were</c><00:36:47.989><c> 7</c><00:36:48.289><c>,000</c><00:36:48.610><c> out</c><00:36:48.769><c> there</c><00:36:48.989><c> for</c><00:36:49.090><c> him</c><00:36:49.250><c> to</c><00:36:49.449><c> work</c><00:36:49.630><c> with.</c>

00:36:51.230 --> 00:36:56.510
