| It’s so important that we surrender
|
| 'Cause there are things on the heart of the Father
|
| That we can’t even know until we posture ourselves
|
| To surrender to what He wants
|
| We’ve been… deceived by the enemy
|
| In the area of prayer
|
| Because, specifically--I know this will go around the world
|
| But specifically in America
|
| The most financially prosperous nation on the earth--
|
| The enemy has deceived many parts of the church
|
| By convincing us to continue praying for our own needs
|
| When we have everything we can possibly imagine
|
| If we were to heed the words of Jesus, he said:
|
| Take no thought of what you will each
|
| What you will drink, or what you will wear
|
| For your Father knows that you have
|
| Needed these things before you ask
|
| It goes on later to say
|
| Consider the lilies of the field:
|
| They neither toil nor spin
|
| Yet Solomon, the richest man that ever lived
|
| In his glory, was never arrayed like one of these
|
| God… knows what we have need of
|
| I want to invite us to a new posture
|
| Of understanding and prayer
|
| Don’t spend your faith on yourself
|
| That’s lower-level prayer
|
| How can we ever apprehend the heart of the Father
|
| For the nations, if we keep worrying about
|
| If He’ll pay our bills next month?
|
| The nations are desperately in need
|
| Of a church who will arise in power
|
| And intercede on their behalf
|
| That the Lord of Glory would intervene
|
| On the affairs of the earth
|
| I just wonder, if in this moment
|
| There are some people who say
|
| «Okay, I get it.»
|
| Maybe some of you for the first time
|
| Posture yourself in the position in prayer
|
| To apprehend God in a way that says:
|
| «Lord, this prayer, this cry
|
| Is not about me, is not about my needs
|
| Is not about my desires
|
| It’s about what You want
|
| It’s about interceding for the nations
|
| Is there anyone in this room tonight
|
| Who have enough faith to know that
|
| Everyone of your needs is taken care of
|
| It’s time for us to intercede
|
| On behalf of the nations
|
| It’s time for us to intercede
|
| On behalf of the nations! |
