Auto-generated transcript of this service.

Hallelujah Hallelujah he does Miracles I believe that God's now create Miracles you know devil he always would like to steal our faith [Music] through problem in situations he steals our faith why because God is already completed but people have hard time to believe because when people look at the situation they get discouraged the things that will not happen that God doesn't love you somehow problems oh look at the situation in your life that's because of the sins and other things in your life but I would like to remind you that and have faith that Jesus completely forgave all our sins the life of the believer is the confirmation of a people of what they already received yes you know when I first came to Christ I thought the more I prayed the more blessings that I'll have in my life yet no you need to believe if you can pray for seven hours but if you don't have the spirit of God it's not the same you need to have faith what what Jesus can do it and then by the uh the the the the guidance of the Holy Spirit you can continue continue to pray and God starts to open up certain things why this or that is taking place but if we do not pray and we just believe that God does everything and we don't know how understanding why God allowing certain things in our life it rubs us away from no longer have ability to hear the voice of God but then instead hear the the voice of the enemy [Music] and family people need to have fellowship with one another two people here after the the altar they start living together you know I believe that you are my wife I believe that you are my husband and then I'll no longer tell each other I love you yeah if I change my mind that only then that I'll tell you that I think otherwise this is not family [Music] you can call them roommates they just live together with God when we have fellowship with him we we we receive more love towards him we start to understand his truth we have more faith in him the Bible says the law multiplies it is just like a life here on Earth in relationships when husband and wife they need to have Fellowship they need to communicate with one another you know it's not loud when you say it one time and and say it otherwise if you change your mind foreign it's not love but God is exactly exactly you love God because he saved you cheers [Music] God give your love towards you foreign it is very similar to the relationship of a husband and wife just like they know each other but they don't have fellowship with one another they will not have joy so bullish is you know they were happy together before but somehow they no longer you know many Believers are very similar they came with Joy To The Lord At first and then they Maybe started the the law you need to this that or this yes if you don't do this certain behaved a certain way you'll lose your salvation and then they lose this faith and then just live by the in the law as religious people for them prayer is some such a burden see you know for one hour it's so hard to pray in it's like you know you don't want to have fellowship with somebody but you have to have a conversation with them do you have people in your life that you don't want to see them [Music] in their presence you receive this pressure you receive this pressure from them how many how much time do you think you'll be able to to spend time with them sometimes when I meet people I do not know what they're talking about yes I start looking at my watch they are still in my time foreign they talk about the global issues but they have no conversation about God and I say Lord there's no time lord I want to speak about you but they don't want to hear me [Music] but in order for them not to get offended I have to be patient with them I said Lord please open their windows so I can start speaking about you yeah you know I met this one family that used to go to church before but then they stopped going they have no desire to have a conversation with me about God [Music] the world events you know all I do is just hear them [Music] and time passes and they have no desire to speak about God but in my heart I have this tremendous desire to bring him back to Christ again I would have a meeting with them for one uh once a week they would always bring invite me to eat some food I live by myself and I really liked the food yes I would always tell him compliments you cook very good I really enjoyed the food but inside of me I'm speaking to myself says Lord I want to speak about you year and a half past yeah I've been meeting those people for a year and a half yeah all this time I've been praying Lord open that window for me to speak about you what is this you know it's so nice here I'm speaking about God right now and all of you are listening to me is such a blessing it is a tremendous blessing but when people don't want to hear you what do you have to say it's so difficult but I was consistent in yeah because they had a situation that they were going through I started to speak to them God loves you God is seeking come to the Lord he is always welcoming the Bible says come to me alls that are weary and I'll come and comfort you da Italy is and then they would listen to me and then following day they came to church I said praise be to God have a good day and then later they moved to a different town and I wasn't able to see them again why because devil he constantly lies in our life God has a plan for you God loves you he is good he is Good Shepherd of us he wants for us to understand what he is doing in our life for that reason we need to have a fellowship with him he wants to speak he gives his word if we not hear the internal voice of God read the word of God is speaking through the word of God he will be speaking loud in our [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] the purpose of prayer it is a spiritual breathing mechanism and the prayer is the key to our solving our problems [Music] and then through prayer God is training us spiritually yeah [Music] you know if I have a good friendship and relationship with somebody when I make a phone call to those they immediately hear my voice and recognize that it's me who's speaking you know with the smartphone it's much easier because it actually tells us on the phone who's calling us maybe even has their picture on it [Music] this is why we have to have this the base of our prayer the faith that we are saved and we are the children [Music] God wanted to to protect his people from any kind of evil he told them continually pray without ceasing first Thessalonians chapter 5 verse 17. pray without ceasing always give praise and it's God's plan and it is his will for us [Music] and when we pray we are able to recognize and understand his will for our life God wants us to understand what is his purpose what is the work that he's trying to do in our life I would like to turn our attention into the Old Testaments also in new ones and show the examples of Prayer you know that Abraham he was for his name you know it's a it's a prayer of intercession is [Music] the prayer of intercession has a tremendous power because when the person is sick [Music] it is so difficult for them to have faith in in healing while they're experiencing pain in their body is you know when Pastor is preaching since God is able to heal and everybody says amen but and the person sits down and has no faith you know they hear the word and they they want to believe and they say Amen but they examine themselves and they realize they have no faith they would sit and just you know with this blank face attack the Abraham comes [Music] [Music] [Music] the pain is not allowing the person to have the faith in Christ and for the person who is in pain who is sick is so hard for them to believe [Music] until the experience in this pain in their body is and this man who has not experienced in pain himself when he prays for another person he has more faith and Korea if you have the same for anyone who has sickness you need to tell everyone that there's problems and then the problem will be solved easily because we always start praying for you [Music] and you know when I was ministering to the young people in our church in the cell group there was about 25 oops there was about 25 people in our cell group [Music] and about eight o'clock P.M we would meet together in different places the group of uh the members of a cell group you first started to build relationship to get to know each other better then we would reveal the issues and problems in our life [Music] somebody must maybe had a problem with alcohol somebody was having difficulty to to stop smoking maybe there's some wounds somebody might be going through [Music] and we would encourage one another says we believe that God be able to deliver that God will be able to to show miracle in your life um you know I have three brothers and one of the brothers I want to invite to church every day he would smoke two packs of cigar per day [Music] and finally he came to church and our cell group gathered together and he wanted to embarrass me you know I'm younger but I'm very I'm a leader by nature and he it's very uh disappointing [Music] and in front of the whole cell group he says can I light up the cigarette and I say what foreign we struggle with the same problems before too and I say no that's not possible you cannot smoke but it's you remember it's his first time coming to church and those Brothers they have showed Grace on this man I was so disappointed and time passed I you know swallow this and forgot about it and then the following day my brother came is please forgive me yeah and from that moment he cannot even stand the smoke and this the shame came into his life when he repented because a cell group would pray for those individual problems and we would see Miracles that God would hug people with their problems and we would share those testimonies with one another problem and the man or person who would go sickness or some problem would cry so Lord please help my uh unbelief I believe that you will help my unbelief Lord I believe you but please help me my unbelief that's what the word of God says and when we pray God is touching the hearts of those people and he heals them God gave us family [Music] God give us a family which is the church the fellowship that we have [Music] this is what the church is for and we need to help when a person one is down in spirit another one needs to come up and say Jesus loves you God Jesus Christ lives in you God rejoices when one sinner comes comes continue you cannot try to leave this in with your own strength we will pray for you God does everything and this prayer of intercession delivers people with dependence they're not able to come out of their dependence auditions they only wants to receive the solution either I want delivered Prince or not a decision is what we need to responsible for but the rest God takes care verus [Music] this Faith with one uh this Fellowship that we have with one another helps our faith when we encourage one another when we focus on the Lord we we have this this tremendous Miracle takes place in our life because we have this faith that we meet Christ one day remember the first Miracles that Jesus did during the celebration in in Canaan he uh changed the water to wine remember this miracle you know we've won this miracle in our life you know this miracle was only able to take place because of The Obedience of one of the servants when the servant heard that the the Renault wine and people were when they brought this water they realized quickly that it became wine [Music] what do you think those servants did they try the wine no they didn't drink but they saw it who was able to do this the question is for you do you want to drink this wine or you want to see Jesus I would pick to see Jesus maybe in our life we don't see such Miracles but if we find Jesus but we can be presents at the place where Jesus does the Miracles [Music] maybe we will not be able to personally experience this Miracles [Music] maybe we will not be able to partake in the of the financial success of others who were asking for it but when you're going to be interested because you're always going to be standing before the Lord and glorify him for what he does and that's why in our cell group we could see a lot of Miracles and we get it together one time and there was this one brother who was very sick and he had a heart trouble I could see how God hugged him foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] you know Moses he was through his interceding prayer he was able to save the nation that has fallen when Moses went to to the meeting with God on the mountain [Music] and he was there fasting for foreign issue [Music] you know in Korea we have this 40-day Moses prayer [Music] every evening for 40 days we gathered together and pray they would receive the word from God Moses he was on the mountain praying for 40 days and he received the word from God the Ten Commandments that God wrote himself [Music] and this is the foundation of that type of Prayer in our country we pray for 40 days they would receive the promises of God is when we announced that we're going to have a 40-day prayer and fasting the Moses prayer [Music] everybody would sign up make sure you don't miss and show up and receive the word from God yes and when they make this decision every evening at eight o'clock they always receive the word from God and then if you would like to have received the gods will the God's word for your life for your plans uh you need this 40-day prayer maybe only in three days we'll be able to receive the answer is but through this on our faith starts to grow when we put our Reliance on the word of God always works through faith [Music] he knows that we are lacking Faith through his word he gives us Faith through prayer he gives us faith and he answers the uh give us the answer to our prayer and of course there's a Daniel's prayer Daniel [Music] even though he was in captivity but he always had conversation with god and in his prayer there was a three very important elements first he would always turn into the direction of Jerusalem it was showing and that his his desires towards the Lord and he is hungry for God and Bible says that every day he would turn into direction of Israel Israel and Jerusalem and pray [Music] and what's important is the frequency of his prayer he was praying three times a day and we could see it became his lifestyle it becomes his habit the way he does his day um [Music] and by that he was shown that God comes first in his life by praying three times a day is you know everything that is first Belongs to the Lord and we give this to him finances our time the Israelites when they left the uh Egypt in the book of Exodus chapter 13 God is teaching them [Music] he says you are my nation and I'm your lord everything that is first when it comes to your animals your family belongs to me yes and you are my people everything that first belongs to me [Music] and the second thing you need to eat the 11th bread it was the principle that God has commanded his people to live when they exited the Egypt and when they were crossing the the sea [Music] it is the decision that you need to make what kind of Life what kind of Lifestyle you will live when you cross over into the promised land you know you have to make a decision are you going to live the old ways the way you lived before or now you're going to live everything by new rules [Music] Passover is going to be the first day it's going to be the beginning of the new day for you you need to recognize that everything that is first Belongs to the Lord and in Chapter 13 in Book of Exodus God is speaking to the nation of Israel and he gives him three principles everything that is first Belongs to the Lord [Music] the law of the eleventh bread that we need to leave all our own life and live holy life and bread is like the word of Jesus Christ [Music] and God he was guiding the nation of Israel by the uh the the foreign [Music] and the third quality or point when it comes to Daniel's prayer he would always pray on his knees it is a symbolism humbleness before the Lord that he is fully honoring him on and then through that prayer God is revealing his plans [Music] and then while in prayer he would receive wisdom from God how to judge the people the Bible says he was in prayer for 21 days but on the last day he was able to see literally in his life and Daniel chapter 9 verse 19 it says Lord listen Lord forgive Lord hear and act is for your sake my God my God do not delay because your city and your people bear your name is called God's name three times start our prayer after those words we start our prayer with with speaking loud saying means Lord Lord three times every time we start up praying in us the the purpose of that Lord hear us forgive us Lord [Music] hear and act Lord that's what the purpose of that is [Music] and from January 1st through January 21st we pray that we would receive the word from God that the problems they lay before us we pray for the nation of Korea we pray for our families we pray that God will give us strength in the spiritual warfare that we would overcome and [Music] we pray that our family our children our relatives they would not fail in this spiritual warfare but win instead and God always gives the answers and everybody receives those great Promises of God and based on the word of God we have a prayer of Jericho Jericho yes we have a prayer of intercession on Cell groups we pray for one another and then we have a Moses prayer we pray for 40 days [Music] and we start a new prayer each year the Daniel's prayer I don't know how it is now in Korea but when I was going to church and every first week Sunday of the month we had a youth prayer and this Jericho prayer we would pray for problems in different difficulties you know we have this we train our young people not just to pray a couple of minutes but they have a one-hour prayer yeah you know before when I came to Christ I was not baptized with the holy spirit yet and I would come to the youth services I wanted to be obedient I always showed up for the services foreign [Music] [Music] and they would have music playing well while they pray [Music] you would always pray for the baptism of the Holy Spirit everybody would get baptized and I so wanted to have the baptism of the Holy Spirit but I couldn't get it it was so hard for me because I could only pray for five minutes and after that I couldn't do it I pray for the country for my family for whom and I'm done chasma malir how about it every service the pastor would say who is not baptized with the Holy Spirit please raise your hand I would always raise my hand [Music] when we started to pray for an hour [Music] it was so loud everybody's praying and the sister tells me God told me that he already gave you that go again give things for him give God what you already have is the word of Thanksgiving I only had one dollar yeah foreign give to God what you had and I pulled up all I had with me is just a dollar and I said I don't know when to give and how to give no yeah but I said Lord I'm going to be obedient I'm going to give you the dollar the only dollar that I have two days later it was the last day of our prayer I'm praying to God and the prayer kind of goes flows away I start to notice that I say something that I don't understand I stop [Music] [Music] there was a lot of testimonies [Music] and for me once I've received the baptism of the Holy Spirit to pray one hour it was like praying for one minute [Music] when we pray with the Holy Spirit we pray correctly we're not looking what to say or with our own mind we don't ask for our righteousness or something [Music] because the Holy Spirit knows what to say and how to pray foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] and in your life when you experience any kind of problems in your life experience or practice this the the praying of Jericho foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] and then on the last day we rejoice and we we pray so loud just like there was no roof about it and when we pray together this Faith becomes so strong [Music] you know when I came to Christ in my own home the situation was very difficult [Music] I couldn't open up the word of God [Music] I could not hear the sermon or the worship [Music] and he would beat me up my father died when I was only 10 years old [Music] I had three brothers and one sister Nishi and when our country was very poor back then and when this move of God started to move through our church in Korea is the economy started to progress and change drastically when my father died we had our own homes after his death we had after his passing of my father we had about five thousand dollars and we were five thousand dollars [Music] those daughters they told my mom to sell the home and pay back the debt that they had um and in that moment the houses were increased in price tenfold and my mom she sold her home she sold it for 10 000. but at that moment the prices went up to a hundred and because of that the atmosphere and our home change completely my mom started to drink she would you know feed us and we would have a very difficult life and my brother would do the same um and for me to go to church and during the time when I was a new believer it was very difficult and at 11 PM I would go to church until two to three a.m [Music] and for one hour I would sleep [Music] and then in 4 30 we would start worshiping and then we will have a morning prayer yeah we did this for a year oh I did it for three years and this is until I went on a mission trip this is how my lifestyle was [Music] and during this moment for those three years the prayer God did amazing work in my life is foreign [Music] I would participate in all those prayers you know there's a lot of information on the internet that we can find about prayer yeah [Music] I'm gonna conclude my uh word with you today but I would like to remind you when you pray make sure that you focus on your attention with God only focus on the fact the fact loves us [Music] and uh make the decision how much time that you will devote to God is God will assure you bless you and fill you with his faith God is alive you see how how on point with times everything is perfect videos I would like to highlight the seminares there was four points you know prayer is the key to our problems but we need to understand that prayer is the conversation with god when you come to the Lord and we start to pray we need to look not for miracle but we need to look for the Lord where is God there is Miracles and we need to pray to our god until we experience God who saved us and showed his Mercy for us also he is a father and if we don't receive what we ask for Allah understand that God is with us at all moments and in all circumstances but when he is with us we can Rejoice that he holds everything in his hands in his own control this is very important because charismatic teaches teaches differently you always have to be healthy need to be rich they have everything but it's not biblical truth but what we heard today speaks differently therefore hold on to that let's raise up to prayer and we'll pray sister [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] if I Hallelujah Hallelujah foreign [Music] [Music] foreign
