1. Intercessory Prayer for Family Protection

Father God in heaven, I stand in the gap for my family today. Be a wall of fire around us and the glory within. Hide us under the shadow of Your wings.

Heal wounded hearts and reconnect divided souls. Let the threefold cord not be easily broken. Reignite unity, Lord, and be the glue that holds them together.

6. Intercessory Prayer for Deliverance from Strongholds

Father God, you are our Mighty Deliverer, Breaker of Chains, I stand in the gap for those imprisoned by addiction, fear, lust, pride, and every bondage. For whom the Son sets free is free indeed.

I speak liberty over the captives and declare, “Come out in Jesus Christ’s name!” Replace torment with peace and shame with joy. Holy Spirit, flood every dark place with light. I command every chain to break and declare a new beginning. Let them rise clothed in freedom. Deliver them, O Lord, and be glorified forever! Amen. 

7. Intercessory Prayer for Wisdom and Divine Guidance

Our Father God, O Ancient of Days, Fountain of Wisdom, I intercede for those seeking direction. You said, “If any lacks wisdom, let him ask,” so I ask boldly. Illuminate the path before them.

Speak in dreams, whisper through peace, and thunder through confirmation. I declare clarity over chaos, and divine strategy over delay. Guide them with Your eye, Lord. Lead them in the way everlasting, in Jesus Christ’s name. Thank you Father for your answers. Amen. 

8. Intercessory Prayer for Church Leaders and Pastors

Father God, Great Shepherd of the sheep, we lift up Your servants—pastors, teachers, and leaders You have anointed. Strengthen their hearts, refresh their spirits, and guard their families. Let no weapon formed against them prosper. Surround them with armor and angelic protection. Anoint their lips with fire, their hands with healing, and their words with power. Raise up Aaron and Hur to lift their arms in battle. May they not grow weary in doing good, for harvest is near. Pour fresh oil, O God, and let revival begin in the pulpit. Cover them, sustain them, and be glorified through them in Jesus Christ’s name.

9. Intercessory Prayer for National Revival

Father God, Lord of Nations, King of Glory, we cry for revival in our land! Rend the heavens and come down! Let righteousness spring up from the ground and truth rain from Heaven. Forgive our sins and heal our land. Awaken the sleeping church. Shake every idol, expose every lie, and turn hearts back to You. Raise up intercessors like watchmen on the wall. Let repentance flood the streets and salvation sweep across cities. We speak life over dry bones—revive us again! From the government to the grassroots, let Your Spirit fall on us. Ignite a national awakening, Lord, for Your name’s sake!

10. Intercessory Prayer for the Lost and Unsaved

Father God, Merciful Savior, Lover of Souls, I plead for the lost. Your Word says You desire none to perish but all to come to repentance. Draw them with cords of lovingkindness. Pierce the veil from their eyes and soften their hearts. Remove stony places and sow seeds of truth. Send laborers into their path. Awaken their conscience; give them divine encounters. Let the prodigals return, the blind see, and the deaf hear Your voice. I cancel every assignment of the enemy against their salvation. Lord Jesus, rescue them from darkness and translate them into Your Kingdom of Light. Save them, O God!

11. Intercessory Prayer for Breakthrough in Career

Father God, God Most High, I lift those who feel stuck or stagnant in their careers. You said you open doors no man can shut. So arise, O Lord, and make a way in the wilderness. Let favor surround them like a shield. Reveal the next step. Provide divine connections, promotions, and breakthroughs. Remove limitations and lead them into divine placement. I cancel every spirit of delay and confusion. You are the God who promotes from the dust and lifts the humble. Let new levels of excellence, purpose, and provision manifest. Crown their efforts with success, in Jesus Christ’s mighty name. Amen.

12. Intercessory Prayer for Peace in Troubled Times

Lord Jesus, you are Prince of Peace, Anchor in the storm, I intercede for those surrounded by chaos. Speak, “Peace, be still,” over every anxious heart. Let not their hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. Pour out the peace that surpasses understanding. Guard minds and emotions through Christ Jesus. I silence every voice of fear, torment, and despair. Release stillness in the storm and calm in the battle. Be their refuge and hiding place. Wrap them in your shalom—completeness, safety, and rest. I declare peace over homes, minds, and nations. You are our calm in the whirlwind. Be glorified, O Lord!

13. Intercessory Prayer for Strength in Weakness

El Gibbor, Mighty God, I cry out for those who feel weary and faint. As You strengthened Elijah beneath the juniper tree, strengthen Your children today. Your Word declares, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Just as Paul rejoiced in infirmities, let Your power rest upon them now. Father, be their rock and firm foundation. When they walk through fire, they shall not be burned. Renew their strength like the eagle. Let them mount up and not faint. Wrap them in Your power, Lord, and cause them to rise again in Jesus Christ’s name.

14. Intercessory Prayer for Favor and Open Doors

Father God , O God of Joseph, the Door-Opener, I lift those waiting for favor. As you gave Esther favor before the king and Joseph in Pharaoh’s court, let divine doors swing open! Your Word says, “You shall rise and have mercy upon Zion, for the time to favor her has come.” Break delay. Overrule protocols. Promote them beyond qualifications. Let kings come to the brightness of their rising. Cause the hearts of men to be stirred in their favor. I decree open doors, divine access, and accelerated breakthrough. The keys of David are in Your hands. Open, O Lord, and none shall shut!

15. Intercessory Prayer for Children’s Destiny

Abba Father, You are the Author of destiny and the Keeper of generations. I lift every child into Your sovereign hands. As You called Samuel from a young age and raised David from the field to the throne, let destinies arise. I declare, “Our children shall be taught by the Lord and great shall be their peace.” Cancel every satanic exchange and reverse every evil prophecy. Let their names be written in Heaven’s scroll. Plant them by rivers of living water. Protect them from every snare of darkness. Raise them as arrows in Your hand, and fulfill every divine assignment.

16. Intercessory Prayer for Overcoming Temptation

Father God, you are Holy and Righteous Judge, I stand in the gap for those battling temptation. Strengthen them like you strengthened Jesus Christ in the wilderness. Your Word declares, “No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to man, but God is faithful…” Rescue them from the snare of the enemy. Let them not fall as Adam, but stand as Joseph did. Give them escape routes, strength, and spiritual resistance. I bind every lying spirit that glorifies sin and loose a hunger for righteousness. Let holiness rise like incense in their lives. Keep them blameless until the day of Christ. In Jesus Christ’s name, amen.

17. Intercessory Prayer for Emotional Healing

Father God , you are the God of Peace, I intercede for the brokenhearted. Your Word says, “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” I call forth healing into every scar, every trauma, and every silent pain. Be to them the Balm in Gilead. Restore what grief, betrayal, and abuse have stolen. Like Hannah, turn their mourning into song. Wipe every tear. Release joy for sorrow and praise for heaviness. Let peace reign in the depths of their soul. Father God, thank you for your Holy Spirit, as you breathe healing into every wound. I declare divine restoration and emotional resurrection. May their hearts beat again in freedom and joy.

18. Intercessory Prayer for Unity in the Body of Christ

Father God, God of Unity, I cry out for oneness in Your Church. As Jesus prayed, “That they all may be one,” let this prayer echo now. Break the spirit of division, offense, and competition. Let love bind us together in perfect harmony. As the early church gathered in one accord, pour out fresh fire and unshakable unity. Let denominational walls crumble. Unite our hearts for revival, for missions, for truth. Empower leaders to walk in humility and members in servanthood. Let the Church arise in strength and beauty, Christ's Bride without spot. For where there is unity, You command the blessing. Amen. 

19. Intercessory Prayer for Missionaries and God's Five-Fold Ministers; apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers. Elders and deacons.

Father God, you are the Lord of the Harvest, Commander of Heaven’s army, I lift up every missionary and Your anointed ministers doing the work of the Gospel. As your servants of God were sent out by the Spirit, empower these labourers with boldness, protection, and supernatural provision. “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the Gospel of peace!” Let signs and wonders follow their message. Give them open heavens, receptive hearts, and favour with men. Shield them from persecution and discouragement. Strengthen their hands and stir fresh fire in their bones. May nations be transformed through their witness. Use them, O God, for Your glory.

20. Intercessory Prayer for Government Leaders

Father God, you are the Holy Ruler of Nations, King of all kings, I stand in the gap for earthly presidents, governors, lawmakers, and judges. Your Word commands us to pray for those in authority so we may live in peace. As you gave wisdom to Solomon, give our leaders divine discernment. Remove wicked counselors. Raise up Daniels and Josephs—God-fearing men and women in government. Let justice roll down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream. Expose corruption, silence confusion, and establish truth. Protect those who walk in integrity. Lead our nation through righteous leadership. Rule through them, Lord, and be enthroned over every seat of power. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, I thank you. Amen. 

21. Intercessory Prayer for Supernatural Provision

Father God, my Source and Sustainer, my Provider, I intercede for those in need of Heaven’s supply. As you sent manna to Israel and multiplied loaves for the 5,000, provide miraculously again. “The young lions may lack, but those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing.” Open windows of Heaven. Pour out blessings they cannot contain. Break every cycle of lack and devourer. Release creative ideas, divine favor, and angelic help. Let debts be canceled and storehouses overflow. You are the God who brings water from rocks and coins from fish. Let supernatural provision manifest today, in Jesus Christ’s powerful name!

22. Intercessory Prayer for Breaking Generational Curses

Father God, you are the Chain-Breaking God, the Curse Reverser, I cry out for freedom across generations. Your Word says, “Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law.” Every inherited bondage—poverty, disease, addiction, failure — I uproot by the blood of Jesus Christ! As Gideon tore down his father’s altar, let every evil pattern be destroyed. I decree: What bound my bloodline ends with me! From this moment, I walk in blessing and not curse. Let your fire consume every ancestral chain. Raise a new legacy of faith, favor, and freedom. I seal this family line with the covenant of Jesus Christ. No curse can stand, amen!

23. Intercessory Prayer for Divine Acceleration

Father God, Lord of Speed and Suddenly, I stand in the gap for those who feel delayed. As Elijah outran Ahab’s chariot and Joseph rose from prison to palace in one day, let divine acceleration come! Your Word says, “I will do a quick work and cut it short in righteousness.” Redeem the years stolen by delay, fear, or failure. Send help swiftly. Shift times and seasons. Let what would take years happen in weeks. Place your hand upon them for supernatural speed. Let divine appointments, open doors, and answered prayers manifest now. No more delay! Arise, O God, and do it quickly! All in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

24. Intercessory Prayer for Endurance and Perseverance

Father God, you are our God of Endurance, Strength of the weary, I intercede for those tempted to give up. As Lord Jesus Christ endured the cross for the joy set before Him, let strength arise in their inner man. “He who endures to the end shall be saved.” Give them a spirit that does not quit. Let hope anchor their soul. When the storm rages, speak peace. When the road is long, walk beside them. Infuse them with supernatural grace to finish strong. Remind them that You are Faithful. The crown awaits. They shall not faint but overcome. Let perseverance be their portion, in Jesus Christ’s name.

Amen and amen. 

Conclusion

Let these prayers become a lifestyle, as we pray through each section. Let every word you release in intercession shake the unseen realm and establish God’s will on earth. Don’t underestimate the impact of our prayers. Keep standing, keep declaring and interceding, knowing that every time you kneel in prayer for someone else, Heaven leans in. And as we lift others before the throne of grace, may the God who hears in secret reward you openly. In Jesus Christ’s mighty name, amen.

how often the Bible answer man like yourself

 And it is shocking how often a Bible answer man like yourself who clearly has no problem with confidence and boldness, how often you will say, "I don't know." Right. Can you just talk about that? 

Like just the some would be surprised by that, that  boldness and then just the humility to admit the things I don't know and then be really passionate about the things that I do know. Just how did you start saying those three words? { I don't know} You throw them around a lot, you know, speak to that because I think it's refreshing to a lot of folks. When I ask somebody a question, I don't care what area it is, and they make up an answer, that's called a lie. 

I don't like people lying to me and therefore I don't want to lie to other people. So when I'm asked a question and I don't have the foggiest idea how to answer it, I better not make up an answer. I better be honest enough and humble enough to say, ' I do not know. ' And that's why I like book of Mark chapter 9. A grief or torn dad who's got a boy, a son who's being torn apart by  epilepsy, demon possession. He's a hurting pup. He comes up to Jesus and says, "Hey Jesus, your disciples,  they tried to heal my boy, but they couldn't. If it is possible, would you please heal my boy?" And Jesus looks into the face of that grief or torn father and he says, "What do you mean if it is possible?" All things are possible for the one who believes. Now, the response of the father is incredible. The father looks at Jesus and says, "I believe. Help my unbelief." 

 In other words, Jesus, I've got some belief, but I got real doubts. But I've got to be honest, Jesus, my doubts haven't gotten me anywhere. And that's my point to agnostics. That's my point to people who say, " I'm just not convinced." Fine. Maybe you're not convinced. But if you're not convinced about Christ, you're convinced about someone or something else. You wouldn't be at Texas A&M, this fine university,  if you weren't a highly motivated person. You didn't get here by accident, guys. Something's motivating you. You're living for something or someone. But the father was honest enough to admit, "I got doubts." But he was humble enough to admit, "My doubts haven't gotten me anywhere in life." That's why he blurts out, "Help my unbelief." 

And Jesus doesn't condemn the guy. He performs a miracle and he heals the guy's son. You see, God is more than willing to reach out to honest, humble people. Not people who pretend. Not people who pretend, "Oh, I've got it all nailed down." No. Humble, honest people who say, "I got doubts, but my doubts haven't gotten me anywhere in life. Lord Jesus, please help me." 

Logan's a really nice guy. Before we started that podcast, he turned to me and said, "Uh, I'm not a believer in God or Christ, but uh maybe at the end of this time I wil be." Wow. I thought,  "Okay, I really appreciate his vulnerability, his honesty." And then we got into it and started talking about a lot of different issues. And he kept on coming back to, "I'm really offended by how you guys think Jesus is the only way to God." And I had to say, "Well, I didn't make that up. Christians didn't make that up. Jesus says in John 14:6, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." And I don't like the way I answered him. 

 I stuck to Logan. Everybody believes in truth. If you believe every path leads to God, that's a truth claim. You believe half the paths, half the philosophies, half the religions lead to heaven or nana, that's a truth claim. 

And Jesus is obviously making a truth claim when he says there's one way to heaven. It's through me. I wish I would have gone on and said, "Now, Logan,  let's talk about why Jesus is so necessary." 

 Jesus is so necessary. Jesus is the truth. He's the way to heaven. And he's the way to God because he has a unique identity. He's God in human form. He's not just a good prophet. He's not just a good teacher. He has a unique identity that is totally different from all the rest of us. He's God in human form. 

Secondly, he has a unique death. We're all going to die. The statistics on death are very impressive. One out of one die. Everybody who's born dies. And I'm a lot closer than any of you. Bar probably. I'm 71 and you guys are young bucks. I'm jealous of you. You got a great future. Jesus died on a cross for you, for me. And I can promise you if someone dies for me, I'm going to take what they say very seriously because it shows they really give a rip about me. The phrase "give a rip" is an idiomatic expression meaning to care or to attach importance to someone or something. 

And the third thing about him is about Jesus is not just that he has unique identity, not just that he has a unique death, but he has a unique resurrection. Guys, I promise you, you die and rise from the dead, I will listen very carefully to everything you have to say because the evidence is you are in touch with reality in a way that I am not. And so I put my faith in Christ, not because I've been hoodwinked, deceived into believing in him, not because I've been manipulated, not because I just believe, believe. I believe in Christ because the evidence is he is more than a man. He lived a sinless life. I've tried to live like Jesus. I really have guys and I have failed. Every day I try and I fail. 

But that's secondly why I need his death, his unique death to forgive me for the wrong that I've done. He takes the penalty for my sin. 

And then thirdly, I got a brain. I'm not just going to blindly believe. It's his historical resurrection that convinces me this Jesus is the truth. So, do you get it, Logan? 

Logan had a hard time with that one, as a lot of Americans do. Yeah. And I still think what you said to him is beautiful. Like I think just based off what he said beforehand and like the hunger there is obvious like the lean in like the and the asking the hard questions and the willingness to admit wrong and I think that such people are pretty darn close much closer to the kingdom than they realize. And I think that applies to you guys in the crowd. Like your presence here implies a level of hunger. Your willingness to engage with questions implies that. And I just wondered if you have had doubts or have doubts or there's way more times than you would like where you say, "I don't know." Uh, man, you might be closer to the kingdom than you think. So, those were some of the questions that came in. If the cross is the center point, it's also, man, it's a stumbling block to plenty of people. You know, an author who was very prominent a little while ago, doesn't get talked about much anymore, said the cross is divine child abuse. you know, like what would you say to those things? This is outdated. It's barbaric. Um, do we really have to talk about this? Um, what would you say to that? 

A lot of people say that these days, a lot of people believe that, Brian, you're absolutely correct. But I can almost guarantee you that the vast majority of people who say that, if I say to them, if I whoop up on a little African-American kid, beat him to a pulp, and if the police come and say,"Cliff, what did you do?" And I said, "Well, I just beat up this little African-American kid." If the police officer looks at me and says, "Let's go to Starbucks." Every person who's upset with the sacrificial death of Christ on a cross to pay the penalty for our wrongdoing would be outraged. 

They'd call that racism. They'd say that officer is a racist, Cliff, as well as you're a racist. Justice is a joke. He's making a mockery out of justice. And they'd be right. That police officer better do something to arrest me for beating up a little African-American kid. But the same people who understand that insist God cannot judge evil. God is lovey-dovey,  which means he just loves everybody and it doesn't matter what they do. But what they're forgetting is the reason that God judges is for the same reason that the police officer judges. the little African-American kid should must matter to the police officer and that's why he's going to haul me into jail. 

The same thing with God. The reason that God judges me for dehumanizing someone, for manipulating someone, for using someone, for degrading someone in my head or in my speech is because that person who I've degraded, who I've dehumanized, matters to God. Which means if God does not judge, you don't matter. 

People can rip you off. They can cut you off at their knees. They can steal you blind. To steal you blind means to rob or cheat someone mercilessly, taking everything they own, often through deceitful or fraudulent means.They can stick it to you. The phrase "stick it to you" is an idiom meaning to treat someone harshly, unfairly, or to retaliate against them, often as an act of defiance or revenge. And if God doesn't judge them for treating you that way, let's be real honest. You don't matter to God. Now, what Jesus Christ points out is yes, you do matter to God. And because you matter to God, because he loves you more than anybody in the whole universe loves you, he must judge those who sexually attack you. Oh, no We don't want to talk about that, Cliff. Well, I'm sorry. We're going to talk about it. Cuz in a crowd this size, you know exactly what I'm talking about, ladies. Many of you, too many of you have been sexually attacked. That's evil. And if God just winks at that and overlooks that, ladies, you don't matter to God. He doesn't care. And that's false. The clear revelation of Jesus Christ is you do matter to God. And the guy who sexually attacked you is going to answer to God for that. And he's going to judge him. And the group of ISIS that slaughtered Caleb Mueller in 2015 after they had imprisoned her for a few years. They're going to answer to God as terrorists for slaughtering Caleb Mueller. and I'm going to be judged for the way I've dehumanized people. That is why I need Christ's death on the cross. 

Because remember guys, forgiveness is never cheap and easy. When you forgive somebody, what you're saying is, I'm going to absorb the hurt that you put on me when you did this to me. And instead of seeking revenge, I'm going to absorb the hurt. Not insist that you give me a pound of your flesh because you ripped a pound of flesh out of me. I'm going to forgive you. I'm going to absorb the hurt. Do you understand? Forgiveness is never free and easy. It costs. It costs a lot. And that's why Christ died on a cross. To absorb the penalty that we deserve for our wrongdoing. God is a judge. Why? Because we matter to God. And God is merciful. He offers us forgiveness through the death of his only son, Christ, on a cross. 

Wow. So, so in the cross, we don't just have the proof of his love for us and his willingness to take our place. We have the proof of his love for us that he will not let wrongs done against us go unpunished. 

Wow. Wow. Um your  passion in communicating the cross is inspiring to me and recently your passion towards something else was deeply inspiring to me and some people on my team actually also took notice of it. Any did anybody go to Passion Conference in January when it was here and these guys were there? 

Incredible time and it was an honor to be there and one of the things that really stuck out to some people on our staff, Cliff, was the passion that came out when you were given the opportunity to speak about the importance of serving the poor and feeding the hungry. You're looking at me like you don't recall this. Okay, you do. All right. I was like, "Oh, boy." 

Stuart, over to you. Um, no. Uh, this I don't know this unexpected, but I think it was a side that some that's not going to get 50 million views is that topic. And I think that might be part of the problem. Can you speak to this? I think that this is a generation that cares deeply about those things is man,  how do we write wrongs and how do we help those in and how central is this to the Christian life? like how central is this topic, serving the poor, feeding the hungry, this concept to Christianity clearly matters to you. 

Day before yesterday, as my wife and I were flying down here from New York City, I  sat beside a little 8-year-old girl. Where are mom and dad? 

Oh, dad lives in New York and mom lives in Houston. Um I'm looking at the stewardess and asking where is mom and dad? Where's a guardian? Oh, she has none. For four and a half hours, that little girl slept beside me, putting her head on my shoulder. 

I'm sitting there thinking, "This 8-year-old girl has made this trip," she says about 50 times. "No mom, no dad. She does it alone as an 8-year-old girl flying from New York City to Houston, Texas." 

Am I moved by that? Or am I going to sit here and say, "Oh, well, at least she's not starving." There better be something in my heart that is moved to help, to love, to serve that little girl. All right. Jesus says in Matthew 25, in the parable of the sheep and the goats, he says, "When the Son of Man returns in power and great glory, he's going to gather all the peoples of the nations together, and he's going to put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left, and he's going to turn to those on his right and say, "Enter the heaven that is prepared for you. For I was hungry, and you gave me something to drink. I was naked and you clothed me. I was sick and in prison and you visited me and those on his right are going to say, "When, Jesus, when did we ever see you in that kind of a predicament?" And he will answer, "Every time you did it to one of the least of these, my brethren, you did it to me." And then he'll turn to those on his left and say, "And that hell is and prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat. I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink. I was naked and you did not clothe me. Sick and in prison, you never visited me." And those on his left are going to say, "When, Jesus, when do we ever see you in that kind of a jam?" and he will answer, "Every time you did not do it to the least of these, my brethren, you did not do it to me." 

 All right, guys. You're at a very fine university. You have incredible career potential. You have the ability to make some serious money. What are you going to do with that money? 

If I walk up to a woman or a man who's got a starving child sitting in their lap and I say to them, "I believe in Jesus." "Oh, your child is starving. Have a good day. See you later. And walk away. There's a word that defines me. Not a very nice word. It's the word hypocrite. 

If I love Christ and if I love people, I must do something to solve the biggest killer of human beings, which is  starvation. And we got the solution for it, guys. It's called money. Buy food. 

Figure out how to get it by corrupt government and get it into the mouths of starving children. Now guys, that's what Christ calls you and me to do. And if you and I don't do that to some degree, the question is, who we really following? Who do we really believe in? 

For he fed the hungry. He clothed the naked. He healed the sick. He raised the dead. And now he says, "You go out and do it, guys. Do it to the glory of God. 

And so I better feed the hungry. I better clothe the naked. I better do something to stand against suffering. 

And then I better tell people about Jesus Christ because there's a disease that's far worse than starvation. It's the disease of sin. And the reason it's worse is because it leads not just to death. It leads to eternal separation from God. That's eternal death. 

Jesus Christ is the way through death to eternal life. I mean guys, just think about it. When someone mocks the idea of heaven, please look them in the face and ask this one question. Is there any greater affirmation of your life and my life than heaven with Christ and others for eternity? No. 

There's no philosophy, no world view, no religion that comes close to affirming the value of your life and my life than Jesus Christ. Why? Because he promises eternal life to all who trust in him. 

Think there is no greater affirmation of your life. No applause in a stadium like this if you're a football player or a cheerleader that comes close to Christ's affirmation of you. No good-looking guy who wants to hop into bed with you and he affirms you and he strokes you and he builds you up and you feel like a million bucks and you say, "Sure, I'll give you my body sexually." That ain't nothing compared to the affirmation of Jesus Christ who says, "I gave my life for you. I love you and you're so important that I want you to spend eternity with me in heaven. 

You mentioned that one of our recent text messages, Stuart, had to do with, you mentioned suicidality. You mentioned just like the hope that we long to come into every heart that we have a chance to encounter in Aguila and beyond.  As awesome as it is like God is moving in this generation. You guys see the hunger as you go campus to campus and we get to stand on the front lines and say something is happening in Gen Z. It's absolutely incredible. I think the hunger is being talked about a lot. I think that the times where it sparks up and tons of people are getting baptized is being properly and appropriately shared. And sometimes I get a little worried that becomes the overly dominant story at the expense of, my goodness, there's just a lot of hurting people. And Texas A&M is not exempt from just the tragedy at times what feels like the epidemic of mental health problems, anxiety and depression at the very least. But suicidal ideation and then just suicide, like can you just, I want to hear from both of you on this one. For the many in the sound of my voice who are in a dark place in a desperate place. Um there might be 

your spirit can reach across and touch another human BEING

 The Power Most Christians Don't Know Exists in Your Spirit Through the Father

Your spirit has power. Most Christians never use your spirit can reach across the world and touch another human being, right now. Not metaphorically, not symbolically, literally. Your spirit is contacting the Father. Your spirit is reaching other human spirits through the Father. And most Christians have no idea this power even exists. 

Apostle Paul said, "My spirit and the Lord Jesus will be with you in your deliberations." 

 It does not seem credible since knowledge can't grasp this. It is in the realm of the recreated spirit. We become so utterly one with him. We become so utterly ruled and governed by the word and by the Holy Spirit that we become masters of demons and of their work. We cast out demons with the word. We pray for sick folks and the diseases leave them. Weakness is destroyed by the strength of God. The very life of God flows out through our lips. 

Do you remember what Jesus said in John 7: verses 38 and 39? He that believes on me, as the scripture has said, from within him shall flow rivers of living water. One translation says, "Shall gush torrents of living water." Jesus is speaking of the Holy Spirit's indwelling presence. And how from our inner life of prayer there gushes forth a torrent of the very life of God that speeds on its way to that one who is in need. No one knows about the fullness of this. We are in the very infancy of this prayer life. Think about that for a second. Rivers of living water flowing out of you. Not a trickle, not a stream. Rivers, torrents, gushing out of your spirit to people who need it, to people hundreds of miles away, to people you've never met, to people in desperate need of what flows out of you when you pray. Electricity has made the wireless and the radio realities.  Electricity is God's life in the mechanical world. Will that life in the mechanical world be stronger, more efficacious than his nature in our spirits? I can't believe it. I know that our prayers bring the very presence of God upon men in any part of the world. 

You see, this is cooperating with him. 

God through you is ruling the demons and evil forces all over the world. You become his voice in that name. The Word really becomes the sword of the spirit and it is waging a war against demoniacal forces who rule men. His word  through your lips dominates these world forces. They don't know it but they feel cramped, bound, hindered, conquered. 

 Jesus said "in my name you shall cast out demons." That means rule them, govern them. God through you then can sway the nations. Now you can understand what apostle Paul meant in 2 Corinthians chapter 6 verse one. Laboring together with him. 

 How? Through this marvelous prayer life. 

 You have entered the holy priesthood in your prayer life. You can be God's voice, his spokesman, his ambassador,  his underruler in Jesus' name through the word in your lips. You become God's will toward a Satan ruled world. You are taking Jesus' place. You are acting in his stead. Once more, God is set free among men. You remember that God gave to Adam dominion over all the earth. 

 That dominion was restored to us through Jesus. But it is of no value to us unless we, the Jesus men, use that authority in his name. That authority was given to an individual Adam. Now the authority is given to us as believers in the name. Jesus exercised that dominion. He ruled the sea. He ruled the fish. He ruled the human body. He made legs grow where they had been amputated. He fed the multitudes. Jesus did not exercise any authority or ability that is not latent in his name today. Someday there  is going to rise a people who will take Jesus' place and bless humanity as Jesus blessed them in dear old Galilee. Did not Jesus Christ say in Matthew 28 18- 20. All authority has been given unto me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore uh and make disciples, not converts, but students of the word of all nations. And behold, I am with you always, even unto the end of this age. He is with us in the word, that living word. He is with us in his name. He is with us in the presence of the Holy Spirit. We join forces with him in this prayer life. 

That all authority was given to him as the head of the church and it is for the church to use. The authority that is in his name is in your lips. You let that authority loose. You give it liberty and it blesses men. He has made us his children, sons and daughters of the Living God. He has given us the name. He has given us the Holy Spirit. He has restored all that the first Adam lost and more. We are Satan's rulers. We are masters of demons and laws that sin brought into being. 

Why did he redeem us? 

Why make us new creations? 

Why make us righteous? 

Why dwell in us? 

Why give us the name? 

Why say that in Jesus' name we could cast out demons? 

What did he expect us to do after making us all this just to be good neutral sons and daughters who never face the enemy? 

 Who simply read the word but never act on it? Who do not take our redemption and new creation seriously. Is he  mocking us? Is his Word like dry clouds in a drought? Is Satan invincible? Must we yield to Satan's dominion and Satan ruled circumstances? 

 Must we say that battle tanks, planes, and bombs are to rule the world? Or is God still living and are we tied up with  him? I can feel God's question there. He is saying to me, "Have you taken these facts as seriously as your nation has taken the draft laws? 

 Is my redemption and new creation as real as the taxes? Does it mean anything? 

We must face this issue. We are surrounded by demoniacal forces that are dominating the human on earth. And if the church hasn't authority over these, then no one has. But the church has. And prayer is our method and mode of dominating these diabolical forces that are wrecking civilization. 

 Let me show you what this looks like in real life. You're sitting in your living room in America and on the other side of the world in Africa, someone you've never met is under demonic attack. They're tormented. They're oppressed. They're bound by forces they can't see and can't fight. And the Holy Spirit prompts you to pray. 

You don't know why. 

You don't know for whom. You just know you need to pray. So you do. 

You pray in Jesus' name. 

You speak to those demonic forces. 

You command them to release their hold. 

You loose the power of God over that situation. 

And thousands of miles away in that moment, something breaks. The oppression lifts. The torment stops. The person feels peace for the first time in months. They don't know why. They don't know that you prayed and commanded in the name of Jesus Christ , but your spirit reached their spirit through the Father and the power of God flowed from your lips to their situation. 

That's not theory. That's not symbolism. 

That's the reality of what happens when you understand the power of prayer. 

Your spirit can reach anywhere. 

Your prayers can touch anyone. 

Distance means nothing in the spirit realm. 

You're praying for someone you love who's sick. They're in the hospital. You're at home. You can't be there physically, but you can be there in the spirit. So, you pray, not begging God to heal them, but commanding that sickness to leave in Jesus' name. 

And as you pray, the life of God flows out of your  spirit. It flows through the Father to their spirit. It flows into their body. And that life, that resurrection life, that same power that raised Jesus Christ from the dead begins to work in their body. Cells begin to heal. Organs begin to function. Systems begin to restore. Not because of medicine, not because of doctors, but because the life of God flowed from your spirit to their body through prayer. 

This is what Jesus meant when he said, "Rivers of living water would flow out of you." This is what apostle Paul meant when he said, "We labor together with HIM." This is what it means to be God's voice,  to be God's spokesman, to be God's ambassador on earth.

You're watching the news and you see chaos, war, violence, oppression, evil running rampant, and you feel helpless. What can one person do against all that? Everything. 

You can do everything because you have the name, Jesus Christ in you. 

You have the authority.

You have the power. So you pray. 

You don't pray hoping God might do something. You pray knowing that God through you is doing something. You speak to those principalities and powers ruling over those nations. You bind them in Jesus's name. You loose the power of God over those situations. And in the spirit realm, things shift. Demonic forces that were free to operate suddenly feel bound. Evil plans that were progressing suddenly hit obstacles. 

People who were blinded suddenly start to see truth. Not because you're powerful, but because God through you is powerful. 

The Word in your lips becomes a sword. That sword cuts through spiritual darkness. That sword binds demonic forces. That sword releases the captives. And you're wielding that sword from your living room through prayer. 

You're in a prayer meeting. And someone asks you to pray for a missionary in China. You've never been to China. You've never met this missionary, but you understand prayer. So you pray. And as you pray, your spirit reaches across the ocean through the Father to that missionary spirit. 

And in that moment, that missionary who was about to give up , gets sudden strength. That missionary who was discouraged gets sudden hope. That missionary who was under attack gets sudden protection because your spirit touched their spirit through prayer. This is the power that most Christians never tap into. 

They think prayer is just words going up to heaven. They don't understand that prayer is spiritual power flowing out of them to touch situations and people anywhere in the world. They don't understand that when they pray, they're not just talking. They're releasing the life of God. They're wielding the sword of the spirit. They're binding demonic forces. They're loosing the power of heaven. 

You have a co-orker who's lost. They're bound by addiction. They're trapped in sin. They're headed for destruction. And you can't preach to them. They won't listen. But you can pray for them. So you do  every day. You pray. You speak to those demonic forces holding them. You bind those spirits of addiction. You loose the spirit of conviction over them. You release the life of God into their situation. And day by day, something shifts. They start to question their lifestyle. They start to feel conviction. They start to hunger for something more. And one day, they ask you about your faith. And you get to lead them to Christ. Not because you preached at them, but because you prayed for them. 

Your prayers prepared the soil. 

Your prayers bound the enemy. 

Your prayers loosed the power of God. 

And when you spoke, they were ready to receive because your prayers had already done the work in the spirit realm. 

This is what it means to labor together with God.

 This is what it means to be his voice. 

This is what it means to take Jesus place.

Jesus ruled demons. Jesus healed the sick. Jesus set the captives free. 

And Jesus said you would do the same works he did and even greater works. Why? Because he gave you his name. He gave you his authority. He gave you his Spirit. He gave you his Word. And all of that power is activated through prayer. 

So here's the question. 

Are you using it? 

Are you taking this seriously? 

Are you praying like someone who has authority? 

Are you praying like someone who has power? 

Are you praying like someone whose spirit can reach across the world and touch another human being? 

Or are you praying like most Christians pray? 

Just saying words, just hoping God might listen. 

Just wishing something might happen. 

Not understanding the power that's in you. 

 Not understanding the authority that's been given to you. 

Not understanding that your prayers can literally change situations halfway around the world. 

God is asking you the same question he asked me. Have you taken these facts as seriously as your nation has taken the draft laws? 

Is his redemption and new creation as real to you as the taxes you pay? 

 Does it mean anything or is it just nice theology that you believe but never actually use? 

 We are surrounded by demoniacal forces. 

 That's not an exaggeration. That's reality. Demons are ruling people. 

 Demons are influencing nations. Demons are wrecking civilization. And if the church doesn't have authority over these forces, then no one does. But we do have authority. We have all the authority we need. We have the name. 

We have the Word. We have the Spirit. We have everything we need to dominate these forces that are destroying lives and nations. And prayer is our method. 

 Prayer is how we exercise that authority. 

Prayer is how we release that power. Prayer is hoW we become God's Voice speaking to a Satan ruled world. 

So stop treating prayer like an optional religious activity you do when you have time. 

Start treating it like the weapon it is. 

Start treating it like the power source it is. 

Start treating it like the authority it is. 

Start praying knowing that your spirit can reach anyone,  anywhere, any time.

 Start praying knowing that the Word in your lips is a sword that cuts through darkness. 

Start praying knowing that you are God's voice, God's spokesman, God's ambassador with full authority to act in Jesus's name. 

Start praying like Jesus prayed with authority, with power, with confidence, knowing that what you bind on earth is bound in heaven. 

Knowing that what you loose on earth is loosed in heaven. 

Knowing that your prayers don't just go up, they go out, they reach, they touch, they change things.

The authority is yours. 

The power is available. 

The Name is given. 

The Spirit is within you. 

The Word is in your mouth. 

Everything you need to be effective in prayer, you already have. 

Now use it. Pray for the sick and watch them recover. 

Pray for the lost and watch them get saved. 

Pray for the nations and watch things shift. 

Pray for those under demonic attack and watch them get free. 

 Because your spirit has power most Christians never use. 

And it's time you started using yours. 

Live like it.

Ignite a national awakening, Lord, for Your name’s sake!

10. Intercessory Prayer for the Lost and Unsaved

Merciful Savior, Lover of Souls, I plead for the lost. Your Word says You desire none to perish but all to come to repentance. Draw them with cords of lovingkindness.

You are our calm in the whirlwind. Be glorified, O Lord!

13. Intercessory Prayer for Strength in Weakness

El Gibbor, Mighty God, I cry out for those who feel weary and faint. As You strengthened Elijah beneath the juniper tree, strengthen Your children today. Your Word declares, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Just as Paul rejoiced in infirmities, let Your power rest upon them now. Father, be their rock and firm foundation. When they walk through fire, they shall not be burned. Renew their strength like the eagle. Let them mount up and not faint. Wrap them in Your power, Lord, and cause them to rise again in Jesus Christ’s name.

14. Intercessory Prayer for Favor and Open Doors

O God of Joseph, the Door-Opener, I lift those waiting for favor. As you gave Esther favor before the king and Joseph in Pharaoh’s court, let divine doors swing open! Your Word says, “You shall rise and have mercy upon Zion, for the time to favor her has come.” Break delay. Overrule protocols. Promote them beyond qualifications. Let kings come to the brightness of their rising. Cause the hearts of men to be stirred in their favor. I decree open doors, divine access, and accelerated breakthrough. The keys of David are in Your hands. Open, O Lord, and none shall shut!

15. Intercessory Prayer for Children’s Destiny

Abba Father, You are the Author of destiny and the Keeper of generations. I lift every child into Your sovereign hands. As You called Samuel from a young age and raised David from the field to the throne, let destinies arise. I declare, “Our children shall be taught by the Lord and great shall be their peace.” Cancel every satanic exchange and reverse every evil prophecy. Let their names be written in Heaven’s scroll. Plant them by rivers of living water. Protect them from every snare of darkness. Raise them as arrows in Your hand, and fulfill every divine assignment.

16. Intercessory Prayer for Overcoming Temptation

Holy and Righteous Judge, I stand in the gap for those battling temptation. Strengthen them like you strengthened Jesus in the wilderness. Your Word declares, “No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to man, but God is faithful…” Rescue them from the snare of the enemy. Let them not fall as Adam, but stand as Joseph did. Give them escape routes, strength, and spiritual resistance. I bind every lying spirit that glorifies sin and loose a hunger for righteousness. Let holiness rise like incense in their lives. Keep them blameless until the day of Christ. In Jesus Christ’s name, amen.

17. Intercessory Prayer for Emotional Healing

Jehovah Shalom, God of Peace, I intercede for the brokenhearted. Your Word says, “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” I call forth healing into every scar, every trauma, and every silent pain. Be to them the Balm in Gilead. Restore what grief, betrayal, and abuse have stolen. Like Hannah, turn their mourning into song. Wipe every tear. Release joy for sorrow and praise for heaviness. Let peace reign in the depths of their soul. Holy Spirit, breathe healing into every wound. I declare divine restoration and emotional resurrection. May their hearts beat again in freedom and joy.

18. Intercessory Prayer for Unity in the Body of Christ

Elohim, God of Unity, I cry out for oneness in Your Church. As Jesus prayed, “That they all may be one,” let this prayer echo now. Break the spirit of division, offense, and competition. Let love bind us together in perfect harmony. As the early church gathered in one accord, pour out fresh fire and unshakable unity. Let denominational walls crumble. Unite our hearts for revival, for missions, for truth. Empower leaders to walk in humility and members in servanthood. Let the Church arise in strength and beauty, a Bride without spot. For where there is unity, You command the blessing.

19. Intercessory Prayer for Missionaries and God's Five-Fold, Ministers; apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers. Elders and deacons.

Lord of the Harvest, Commander of Heaven’s army, I lift up every missionary and Your anointed ministers doing the work of the Gospel. As Paul and Barnabas were sent out by the Spirit, empower these laborers with boldness, protection, and supernatural provision. “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the Gospel of peace!” Let signs and wonders follow their message. Give them open heavens, receptive hearts, and favor with men. Shield them from persecution and discouragement. Strengthen their hands and stir fresh fire in their bones. May nations be transformed through their witness. Use them, O God, for Your glory.

20. Intercessory Prayer for Government Leaders

Ruler of Nations, King of all kings, I stand in the gap for presidents, governors, lawmakers, and judges. Your Word commands us to pray for those in authority so we may live in peace. As you gave wisdom to Solomon, give our leaders divine discernment. Remove wicked counselors. Raise up Daniels and Josephs—God-fearing men and women in government. Let justice roll down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream. Expose corruption, silence confusion, and establish truth. Protect those who walk in integrity. Lead our nation through righteous leadership. Rule through them, Lord, and be enthroned over every seat of power.

21. Intercessory Prayer for Supernatural Provision

Jehovah Jireh, my Provider, I intercede for those in need of Heaven’s supply. As you sent manna to Israel and multiplied loaves for the 5,000, provide miraculously again. “The young lions may lack, but those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing.” Open windows of Heaven. Pour out blessings they cannot contain. Break every cycle of lack and devourer. Release creative ideas, divine favor, and angelic help. Let debts be canceled and storehouses overflow. You are the God who brings water from rocks and coins from fish. Let supernatural provision manifest today, in Jesus Christ’s powerful name!

22. Intercessory Prayer for Breaking Generational Curses

Chain-Breaking God, the Curse Reverser, I cry out for freedom across generations. Your Word says, “Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law.” Every inherited bondage—poverty, disease, addiction, failure—I uproot by the blood of Jesus! As Gideon tore down his father’s altar, let every evil pattern be destroyed. I decree: What bound my bloodline ends with me! From this moment, I walk in blessing and not curse. Let your fire consume every ancestral chain. Raise a new legacy of faith, favor, and freedom. I seal this family line with the covenant of Jesus Christ. No curse can stand, amen!

23. Intercessory Prayer for Divine Acceleration

Lord of Speed and Suddenly, I stand in the gap for those who feel delayed. As Elijah outran Ahab’s chariot and Joseph rose from prison to palace in one day, let divine acceleration come! Your Word says, “I will do a quick work and cut it short in righteousness.” Redeem the years stolen by delay, fear, or failure. Send help swiftly. Shift times and seasons. Let what would take years happen in weeks. Place your hand upon them for supernatural speed. Let divine appointments, open doors, and answered prayers manifest now. No more delay! Arise, O God, and do it quickly!

24. Intercessory Prayer for Endurance and Perseverance

God of Endurance, Strength of the weary, I intercede for those tempted to give up. As Jesus endured the cross for the joy set before Him, let strength arise in their inner man. “He who endures to the end shall be saved.” Give them a spirit that does not quit. Let hope anchor their soul. When the storm rages, speak peace. When the road is long, walk beside them. Infuse them with supernatural grace to finish strong. Remind them that you are faithful. The crown awaits. They shall not faint but overcome. Let perseverance be their portion, in Jesus Christ’s name.

Conclusion

Let these prayers become a lifestyle, as you pray through each section. Let every word you release in intercession shake the unseen realm and establish God’s will on earth. Don’t underestimate the impact of your prayers. Keep standing, keep declaring and interceding, knowing that every time you kneel in prayer for someone else, Heaven leans in. And as you lift others before the throne of grace, may the God who hears in secret reward you openly. In Jesus Christ’s mighty name, amen.

just good to know the Lord.

 So, it's just good to know the Lord. Amen.  It's just good to serve the Lord. It's such a privilege. Amen. To have the revelation of the hour in the hour that we live. We're so thankful. So thankful for eyes to see and ears to hear. And it doesn't matter what goes Wrong in daily life and how many obstacles we face. There is not a thing the devil can do to turn that light out that's in our heart. There's not a thing that he do waves of darkness and troubles and tribulations. There's not a thing that he can do to overpower the eternal blessing that's grown come alive in our souls. If we just focus on that, amen,  everything else starts to fall into place and starts to fall away. And we can just raise our hands and thank God no matter what our day is going like, we can praise the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.  Amen. We could take our Bibles and turn to the Gospel of John, chapter 11 and verse 25. 

(Chinese Simplified) 

所以，认识主真好。阿门。服侍主真好。这是何等的荣幸。阿门。在我们所处的时代，我们就能获得当下的启示。我们如此感恩。如此感恩能看见的眼睛和能听见的耳朵。无论日常生活中发生什么不顺，无论我们面临多少障碍，都无关紧要。魔鬼无法熄灭我们心中的那盏灯。他无法掀起黑暗的浪潮，无法制造苦难和磨难。他无法压制在我们灵魂中成长并焕发活力的永恒祝福。如果我们专注于此，阿门，其他一切都会开始各就各位，并逐渐消散。无论我们今天过得如何，我们都可以举起双手感谢神，赞美主耶稣基督。阿门。阿门。我们可以翻开圣经，读约翰福音第11章25节。

(French)

Alors, c'est tout simplement bon de connaître le Seigneur. Amen. C'est tout simplement bon de servir le Seigneur. C'est un tel privilège. Amen. Recevoir la révélation de l'heure à l'heure où nous vivons. Nous sommes si reconnaissants. Si reconnaissants d'avoir des yeux pour voir et des oreilles pour entendre. Et peu importe ce qui va mal dans la vie quotidienne et le nombre d'obstacles que nous rencontrons. Il n'y a rien que le diable puisse faire pour éteindre cette lumière qui est dans notre cœur. Il n'y a rien qu'il puisse faire pour déchaîner des vagues de ténèbres, de troubles et de tribulations. Il n'y a rien qu'il puisse faire pour vaincre la bénédiction éternelle qui a pris vie dans nos âmes. Si nous nous concentrons simplement sur cela, amen, tout le reste commence à se mettre en place et commence à disparaître. Et nous pouvons simplement lever les mains et remercier Dieu, peu importe comment se déroule notre journée, nous pouvons louer le Seigneur Jésus-Christ. Amen. Amen. Nous pourrions prendre nos Bibles et ouvrir à l'Évangile de Jean, chapitre 11 et verset 25.

(Hindi)

इसलिए, प्रभु को जानना ही अच्छा है। आमीन। प्रभु की सेवा करना ही अच्छा है। यह एक बहुत बड़ा सौभाग्य है। आमीन। जिस क्षण में हम जी रहे हैं, उस समय का ज्ञान प्राप्त करना ही सौभाग्य है। हम बहुत आभारी हैं। देखने के लिए आँखें और सुनने के लिए कान होने के लिए हम बहुत आभारी हैं। और इससे कोई फर्क नहीं पड़ता कि हमारे दैनिक जीवन में क्या गलत होता है और हम कितनी बाधाओं का सामना करते हैं। शैतान हमारे हृदय में उस प्रकाश को बुझाने के लिए कुछ नहीं कर सकता। वह अंधकार, मुसीबतों और कष्टों की लहरें लाकर भी उसे नहीं रोक सकता। वह उस शाश्वत आशीष को नष्ट नहीं कर सकता जो हमारी आत्माओं में जीवित हो उठी है। यदि हम केवल उसी पर ध्यान केंद्रित करें, आमीन, तो बाकी सब कुछ अपने आप ठीक होने लगता है और दूर होने लगता है। और हम बस अपने हाथ उठाकर परमेश्वर का धन्यवाद कर सकते हैं, चाहे हमारा दिन कैसा भी गुजर रहा हो, हम प्रभु यीशु मसीह की स्तुति कर सकते हैं। आमीन। आमीन। हम अपनी बाइबिल ले सकते हैं और यूहन्ना के सुसमाचार, अध्याय 11 और पद 25 को खोल सकते हैं।

(Russian)

Итак, просто хорошо знать Господа. Аминь. Просто хорошо служить Господу. Это такая привилегия. Аминь. Иметь откровение часа в час нашей жизни. Мы так благодарны. Так благодарны за глаза, чтобы видеть, и уши, чтобы слышать. И неважно, что идет не так в повседневной жизни и сколько препятствий мы встречаем. Нет ничего, что дьявол мог бы сделать, чтобы погасить этот свет в нашем сердце. Нет ничего, что он мог бы сделать, чтобы вызвать волны тьмы, бед и скорбей. Нет ничего, что он мог бы сделать, чтобы подавить вечное благословение, которое ожило в наших душах. Если мы просто сосредоточимся на этом, аминь, все остальное начнет вставать на свои места и начнет исчезать. И мы можем просто поднять руки и благодарить Бога, независимо от того, как проходит наш день, мы можем славить Господа Иисуса Христа. Аминь. Аминь. Мы могли бы взять наши Библии и открыть Евангелие от Иоанна, глава 11, стих 25.

(Arabic)

إذن، من الجيد أن نعرف الرب. آمين. من الجيد أن نخدم الرب. إنه لشرف عظيم. آمين. أن ننال وحي الساعة في الساعة التي نعيشها. نحن ممتنون للغاية. ممتنون لأن لدينا عيونًا نرى بها وآذانًا نسمع بها. ولا يهم ما يحدث من أخطاء في الحياة اليومية، ومهما كثرت العقبات التي نواجهها. ليس هناك ما يستطيع الشيطان فعله لإطفاء ذلك النور الذي في قلوبنا. ليس هناك ما يستطيع فعله لموجات الظلام والمتاعب والمحن. ليس هناك ما يستطيع فعله للتغلب على البركة الأبدية التي نمت وتجسدت في أرواحنا. إذا ركزنا على ذلك فقط، آمين، سيبدأ كل شيء آخر في الانسياب والتلاشي. ويمكننا فقط أن نرفع أيدينا ونشكر الله مهما كان يومنا، يمكننا أن نسبح الرب يسوع المسيح. آمين. آمين. يمكننا أن نأخذ أناجيلنا ونفتح إنجيل يوحنا، الإصحاح 11، الآية 25.

(Afrikaans)

So, dis net goed om die Here te ken. Amen. Dis net goed om die Here te dien. Dis so 'n voorreg. Amen. Om die openbaring van die uur te hê in die uur waarin ons leef. Ons is so dankbaar. So dankbaar vir oë om te sien en ore om te hoor. En dit maak nie saak wat verkeerd loop in die daaglikse lewe en hoeveel struikelblokke ons in die gesig staar nie. Daar is niks wat die duiwel kan doen om daardie lig in ons hart uit te skakel nie. Daar is niks wat hy kan doen nie, golwe van duisternis en probleme en verdrukkinge. Daar is niks wat hy kan doen om die ewige seën wat in ons siele lewendig geword het, te oorweldig nie. As ons net daarop fokus, amen, begin alles anders in plek te val en weg te val. En ons kan net ons hande opsteek en God dank, maak nie saak hoe ons dag verloop nie, ons kan die Here Jesus Christus prys. Amen. Amen. Ons kan ons Bybels neem en na die Evangelie van Johannes, hoofstuk 11 en vers 25, blaai.

(Indonesian)

Jadi, sungguh baik mengenal Tuhan. Amin. Sungguh baik melayani Tuhan. Itu adalah suatu hak istimewa. Amin. Untuk memiliki wahyu tentang saat ini di saat kita hidup. Kita sangat bersyukur. Sangat bersyukur atas mata untuk melihat dan telinga untuk mendengar. Dan tidak peduli apa yang salah dalam kehidupan sehari-hari dan berapa banyak rintangan yang kita hadapi. Tidak ada satu pun yang dapat dilakukan iblis untuk memadamkan terang yang ada di hati kita. Tidak ada satu pun yang dapat ia lakukan untuk menebarkan gelombang kegelapan, masalah, dan kesengsaraan. Tidak ada satu pun yang dapat ia lakukan untuk mengalahkan berkat kekal yang telah tumbuh dan hidup di dalam jiwa kita. Jika kita hanya fokus pada itu, amin, segala sesuatu yang lain mulai teratur dan mulai lenyap. Dan kita dapat mengangkat tangan kita dan mengucap syukur kepada Tuhan, tidak peduli seperti apa hari kita, kita dapat memuji Tuhan Yesus Kristus. Amin. Amin. Kita dapat mengambil Alkitab kita dan membuka Injil Yohanes, pasal 11 ayat 25.

(Korean)

주님을 아는 것은 참으로 좋은 일입니다. 아멘. 주님을 섬기는 것은 참으로 좋은 일입니다. 참으로 큰 특권입니다. 아멘. 우리가 살아가는 이 시대에 이 시대의 계시를 받을 수 있음에 감사드립니다. 볼 수 있는 눈과 들을 수 있는 귀를 주셔서 감사합니다. 일상생활에서 어떤 어려움이 닥치고 얼마나 많은 장애물에 부딪히더라도, 마귀는 우리 마음속의 빛을 끌 수 없습니다. 어둠과 고난의 물결도, 우리 영혼 속에서 자라난 영원한 축복을 꺾을 수 있는 것은 아무것도 없습니다. 우리가 오직 그 축복에만 집중한다면, 아멘, 다른 모든 것은 제자리를 찾고 제자리를 찾아가기 시작합니다. 하루가 어떻게 흘러가든, 우리는 손을 들어 하나님께 감사드리고 주 예수 그리스도를 찬양할 수 있습니다. 아멘. 아멘. 성경을 펴서 요한복음 11장 25절을 읽어보겠습니다.

(Japanese)

だから、主を知ることは本当に良いことです。アーメン。主にお仕えすることは本当に良いことです。それは大きな特権です。アーメン。私たちが生きているこの時間に、その時代の啓示を受けることができることに、私たちはとても感謝しています。見る目と聞く耳を与えてくださったことに、とても感謝しています。そして、日常生活で何がうまくいかなくても、どれだけの障害に直面しても、関係ありません。悪魔が私たちの心の中にあるその光を消すことはできません。彼ができるのは、暗闇の波や苦難や試練を起こさせることもできません。彼ができるのは、私たちの魂の中で生き生きと育まれた永遠の祝福を打ち負かすこともできません。私たちがただそれに集中すれば、アーメン、他のすべてが整い始め、消え去り始めます。そして、私たちはただ手を上げて神に感謝し、その日がどんなにうまくいっていようとも、主イエス・キリストを賛美することができます。アーメン。アーメン。聖書を開いて、ヨハネによる福音書11章25節を開いてみましょう。

(Filipino)

Kaya, mabuti na lang na kilalanin ang Panginoon. Amen. Ang sarap lang maglingkod sa Panginoon. Napakalaking pribilehiyo nito. Amen. Upang magkaroon ng paghahayag ng oras sa oras na tayo ay nabubuhay. Lubos kaming nagpapasalamat. Kaya salamat sa mga mata na nakakakita at mga tainga na nakarinig. At hindi mahalaga kung ano ang Maling nangyayari sa pang-araw-araw na buhay at kung gaano karaming mga hadlang ang ating kinakaharap. Walang bagay na magagawa ang diyablo para patayin ang liwanag na nasa puso natin. Walang bagay na ginagawa niya ang mga alon ng kadiliman at mga kaguluhan at mga kapighatian. Walang anumang bagay na magagawa niya para madaig ang walang hanggang pagpapala na nabuhay sa ating mga kaluluwa. Kung tututukan lang natin iyon, amen, lahat ng iba ay magsisimulang mahulog sa lugar at magsisimulang mahulog. At maitaas lang natin ang ating mga kamay at magpasalamat sa Diyos anuman ang takbo ng ating araw, maaari nating purihin ang Panginoong Hesukristo. Amen. Amen. Maaari nating kunin ang ating mga Bibliya at bumaling sa Ebanghelyo ni Juan, kabanata 11 at talata 25. 

(German)

Es ist einfach gut, den Herrn zu kennen. Amen. Es ist einfach gut, dem Herrn zu dienen. Es ist ein solches Privileg. Amen. Die Offenbarung der Stunde in der Stunde, in der wir leben, zu haben. Wir sind so dankbar. So dankbar für Augen, die sehen, und Ohren, die hören. Und es spielt keine Rolle, was im Alltag schiefgeht und wie viele Hindernisse uns begegnen. Nichts, was der Teufel tun kann, kann das Licht in unserem Herzen auslöschen. Nichts, was er tun kann, kann Wellen der Dunkelheit, der Schwierigkeiten und der Bedrängnisse. Nichts, was er tun kann, kann den ewigen Segen, der in unseren Seelen lebendig geworden ist, überwältigen. Wenn wir uns nur darauf konzentrieren, Amen, dann fügt sich alles andere und verschwindet. Und wir können einfach unsere Hände erheben und Gott danken, egal wie unser Tag verläuft, wir können den Herrn Jesus Christus preisen. Amen. Amen. Wir könnten unsere Bibeln nehmen und das Johannesevangelium, Kapitel 11, Vers 25, aufschlagen.

(Turkish)

Öyleyse, Rab'bi tanımak çok güzel. Amin. Rab'be hizmet etmek çok güzel. Bu büyük bir ayrıcalık. Amin. Yaşadığımız anda, o anın vahiyini almak çok büyük bir nimet. Çok şükürler olsun. Görmek için gözlerimiz ve duymak için kulaklarımız olduğu için çok şükürler olsun. Günlük hayatta ne kadar yanlış giderse gitsin ve ne kadar engelle karşılaşırsak karşılaşalım, şeytanın kalbimizdeki o ışığı söndürmek için yapabileceği hiçbir şey yok. Karanlık dalgaları, sıkıntılar ve zorluklar getiremez. Ruhlarımızda canlanan ebedi nimeti alt etmek için yapabileceği hiçbir şey yok. Sadece buna odaklanırsak, amin, her şey yerli yerine oturmaya ve ortadan kalkmaya başlar. Günümüz nasıl geçerse geçsin, ellerimizi kaldırıp Tanrı'ya şükredebilir, Rab İsa Mesih'i övebiliriz. Amin. Amin. İncillerimizi alıp Yuhanna İncili'nin 11. bölümünün 25. ayetine bakabiliriz.
