Pray Before Dawn! - 02

Highlights: Time mark: 01:29 1 John 5:14-15 This is the confidence which we have before Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him. We have to understand whenever we are talking to God, know that He is hearing us. Sometimes people talk to God when they're angry, and that's still prayer. David prayed, "Lord, smite my enemies." He was angry, but he was still talking to the Lord, and the Lord showed him how to deal with the situation. The Lord will show you how to deal with the situation, even in your anger. When you're angry. Talk to the Lord. Don't you ever curse God, things are gonna happen, you're gonna lose loved ones, you're going to lose relationships. Sometimes you may lose a car, sometimes you may lose the house. Never curse God! Whenever you lose something, always remember that as long as you serve Him, as long as you respect Him, as long as you reverence and honor God, God is always going to give you greater than whatever it is that you lost. Genesis 50:19-21 Joseph said to his brothers who caused him to lose his home, to lose his family, to lose years of his life enslaved: “Do not be afraid, for am I in God’s place? As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good in order to bring about this present result, to preserve many people alive. So therefore, do not be afraid. I will provide for you and your children.” So he comforted them and spoke kindly to them. Time mark: 3:48 Psalm 63 O God, thou art my God, early will I seek thee, my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is. To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary, because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee! Thus will I bless thee while I live. I will lift up my hands in thy name. My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness, and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips! When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches. Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice! My soul followeth hard after thee, thy right hand upholdeth me. But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth. They shall fall by the sword. They shall be a portion for foxes. But the king shall rejoice in God, every one that sweareth by Him shall glory, but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped. End of Psalm 63 Early will I seek thee! When you seek God, this is a time where nothing can really destroy, or interfere, or disturb your attention with what God has to say to you and what you need to say to Him. That's why "early will I seek Him". This is expressing the time the day that you should pray. It establishes the priority principle of seeking God first. That word "early" of is "sahar" and which means early or earnestly. It doesn't matter when you seek God, it matters that you do it earnestly, seriously, intentionally, and consistently. That's what's important! Time mark 6:36 Matthew 6:9-13 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. Time mark: 12:01 Mark 1:35 Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where He prayed. Time mark: 19:46 James 5:14-16 Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven. Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective. Since I've been in my prayer time, it's time for me to be an elder of the church, to pray over myself, to pray for my spouse, to pray for my children, to pray for my relatives, to bind and rebuke activities that are demonic and evil. To command the enemy to lose his hold off of my children's mind, off of my family member's mind. To command the enemy, for the chains and the fetters to be broken off for the people in my community. This is the Word of God, "signs, wonders and miracles". He gave us all a measure of faith. He gave us all the ability to come boldly to the throne of grace, therefore, we as his sons and his daughters, we need to manifest what God has given us, the power, because we've been in earnest prayer!
