[00:00:23] Speaker A: So I.
Yeah, man, I'm just, like.
[00:00:26] Speaker B: So blessed right now. I'm so. I'm feeling so blessed.
[00:00:29] Speaker A: Yesterday, I was going through a wave.
[00:00:30] Speaker B: Of freaking out about firing finances like I always do.
[00:00:33] Speaker A: I mean, this is like up and down and all around when it comes to the business. And when you have to. When you grow, you have to invest, and when you invest, you freak out. You might not have enough to continue. So it's like a whole. You know, it goes round and round.
[00:00:46] Speaker B: And round and round and round.
[00:00:46] Speaker A: It's like a dog chasing his tail. But this. This praying thing has really blessed me, and I'm so thankful that my buddy brought up praying.
[00:00:55] Speaker B: And because of. In our little group that we.
[00:00:58] Speaker A: We do fellowships on Mondays, there's probably six or seven of us that get on Zoom and we just go through different.
[00:01:04] Speaker B: Whatever it is that we're working on.
[00:01:06] Speaker A: And praying came up, and this praying is really blessing me because the first word is to pray, but most of it in the New Testament. It's really. Only in the New Testament is this word to pray to God, and it's speaking out loud to God, and it's never to Jesus Christ. And that's. Again, these words are very specific. You can't just add words.
It's praying to God, it's speaking aloud, uttering aloud to God. And I just. I'm just so thankful to watch, because faith. And I know I'm saying a lot right now, but I promise it'll all come together. Faith is believing specifically in what you hear, right? It's having a firm conviction in what you hear.
And praying is speaking out loud a lot of these things. I honestly believe the more you speak out loud, the more you talk about God, the more you fellowship, the more you pray. You're building your faith. Faith, you're building having a conviction in God, because when you hear it and you have a firm reliance and conviction in it, it builds faith.
And when you start seeing God coming through on your prayers, you'll understand exactly what I'm talking about. But I wanted to start with this. If you go to Romans, chapter 8, verse 1, it says, There is therefore now not one condemnation, not one judgment to them which, which are remaining within Christ Jesus.
If you are praying and condemning yourself, there is not one judgment against you.
You are not. You're not in a place of judgment. You're not under law. You've been freed from law by Christ Jesus. That's what he came for. We are in a new administration. We're not in an old administration. You don't have to follow Sabbath. You can choose to, but you don't have to.
You don't have to.
Christ freed us. Stand fast in the liberty, and that's the freedom to go where one wants. Stand fast in the liberty where with Christ hath made you free. And be not entangled again with the weight or the yoke of bondage.
So to start off with, if you're praying and you're condemning yourself and you're beating yourself up, there is therefore now not one judgment against you. The minute you believe in the name of Jesus Christ, that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus that is speaking, if thou, if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in thine heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth speaking and with the mouth, confession is made unto safety, salvation and preservation, which is it's salvation again. Do you see the theme? It's speaking, it's hearing.
I want to go over to pray because I'm just like. It's blowing my mind that it's out loud.
It is blowing my mind. Verse 24 in Mark, chapter 11. Therefore I say unto you what things soever ye desire when you pray, and this is speaking aloud prayers to God, believe that ye shall receive them. Now this receive is lombano.
It's receiving what's given.
This whole manifestation, this whole manifesting your thoughts and putting it into existence. I'm sure there's something spiritually there.
But when you believe that you're going to receive from God, it doesn't come with all the strings attached.
When God gives, it's pure.
And there will be trials and there will be tribulations that worketh. I mean, what's wild about that is it brings you closer to God. And then you can look back and be like, wow, I totally understand why, why that whole thing went down.
But whatsoever things you desire, pray, ask, ask, speak out loud to God and believe that you have a firm conviction that you're going to receive whatever God gives you. And Ye shall have them. And when you stand praying, and this is praying to God, forgive if you have ought against any, that your Father also, which is in heaven, may forgive you your trespasses. Now you're falling aside. Now. This is speaking to Israel.
But what's wild is the whole verse after that 26, doesn't even exist. Shouldn't even be in there. But if you. If you do not forgive, neither will your Father, which is in heaven, forgive you your trespasses. Wrong. Not in there. Not in the Bible.
It's. It's an incredible position you've been put in.
And I'm just overflowing with joy that I can go to God and pray, knowing that when I go through anxious times, I'm praying to God. And I believe. I have a firm conviction that God's gonna take care of it in whatever way God wants to do. Do you know how much pressure is relieved when you can say, open the door or close the door. I don't care. Whatever you want from me.
There is a relief in that. And knowing that, again, like, one of the things I'm dealing with right now is that we brought on somebody to take somebody else's position while the other person started picking up peace and really got it together. And now it's like, what to do?
You go to God and you ask him and you. And he tells you. The beautiful thing is, is that you can build a relationship and you should build a relationship with God. That is what godliness means. Biblically. It's not the outward expression, which is that going to church and doing religious ceremonies and all that stuff. It's the inward expression.
You have an opportunity to build a relationship with God because honestly, the only thing that matters in life is that it's all going away. It's all vanity and vexation. It's all a breath of wind. It's all poof, gone.
But we are eternal, and your relationship with God is eternal. The minute you're born again, you believe in the name of Jesus Christ.
Have a great day today. Pray the small prayers. Pray the big prayers. When you pray, it's speaking out loud. Praying to God. Never to Jesus Christ. With the sacrifice of thanksgiving. With thanksgiving.
And be thankful God, man. Just enjoy your life and the things of your life. God will provide. Had a great day today. God bless you and your family. I'll talk to you tomorrow.
[00:07:33] Speaker B: I don't have the fear.
Well, Heavenly Father, thank you so much.
I just thank you for just how you open doors. And I thank you for this praying thing. Just how much of a blessing it is. I pray for Brian in this whole situation with what to do in the businesses and everything else. I ask and thank you that you cover any mistakes if I made them financially and just lighten that load and just cover me. I also thank you for the moments of my life for the being around my brother and sister in law and the kids and my mom and stepdad and really my entire family.
I'm grateful for that and for the people you brought in my life, the friends that I have and how you've always guided that way.
[00:08:21] Speaker A: I pray for each and every one of your believers today that you take.
[00:08:23] Speaker B: Care of them and bless them and if there's anything that I can do put it on my heart. If not I just ask that you take care of them and yeah just for a great day today I lift.
[00:08:33] Speaker A: Everything up to you in the name.
[00:08:34] Speaker B: Of my Lord and Savior Christ Jesus.
