The Prayer of Faith | Jabin Chavez | City Light Church
James chapter 5. We talked about the life of faith. We have talked about the feet of faith last week. Now we're going to talk about the prayer of faith. And this is James chapter 5. Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Anyone among you cheerful? Let him sing songs. Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. If he has committed any sins, he will be forgiven. So confess your trespasses to one another and pray for one another that you may be healed. And the effective, fervent prayer of the righteous man or woman, praise the Lord, women's conference, or woman, avails much. Elijah was a man just like us. He had a nature just like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain. And it did not rain on the ground for three and a half years, and then he prayed again, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit. You cannot hide a prayer life. It always produces fruit. A private prayer life always goes public. Always. You can't hide the fruit that your prayers will produce. So I want to talk about the prayer of faith today. I'm going to preach quick, and then we're going to get into a beautiful time of ministry. Father, thank you that you are inviting us into a life of prayer, a secret place of prayer that would change our entire lives. Come Holy Spirit, have your way in this moment. Lead and guide and speak and encourage and heal. Minister to your people, save souls. Do what you want to do. We do make room for the move of the Holy Spirit today in Jesus' name. Thank you, Lord. In Jesus' name, everybody said amen. Come on, if you're ready for a word from the Lord, clap your hands one more time. Let's have church today. Last week we talked about how there is this possibility that we can walk by faith and not by sight. That it is an invitation from heaven to earth that you don't have to live a sight life. You can live a faith life. You can live a life of faith. What an amazing blessing. What an amazing opportunity. What an amazing possibility that you can leave the five senses,
you can leave the seen and you can walk by the unseen realm. Now, I'm going to show you another invitation, another opportunity that God has for us, and it's here in Philippians 4.6. In everything by prayer. That you can live a life where the foundation of your life, the lens in which you see, the foundation of every decision you make, the doorway in which you enter any moment can be a life of prayer. That in everything, not some things, everything. Not the big things, everything. Not the major things, in everything. Everything in your life by prayer. That you can baptize your life in prayer. And when you do that, everything about your life will change. See, the devil is trying to convince you that God is relevant to you for one hour on the weekend. But God's an everyday God. He's not just a Sunday God, He's a Monday God, and He's a Tuesday God, and He's a Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday God. He's a daily God. He gives us daily bread. He's a God who's faithful by the hour and by the minute, and yes, even by the second. God wants to invade your life where He is not an event on the weekend, but He becomes your best friend. He becomes the one you walk with and talk with. I'm talking about prayer. I'm talking about an invitation from heaven. Prayer is not something we should do to appease our guilty religious conscience. Prayer must be more than a discipline, and prayer is more than spiritually therapeutic ritual. Well, let's just pray. You know, nothing's going to happen, but...
No, no, no. We actually believe, in this church, this is crazy, get ready, that God actually hears our prayer, and that God actually answers prayer, and that when we pray, things move, and when we pray, things change, and when we pray, mountains got to go, and when we pray, storms got to settle, and when we pray, valleys got to rise up, and when we pray, bodies have to respond to the move of the Holy Spirit. I'm talking about prayer. I'm talking about a house of prayer. I'm talking about your house can become a house of prayer. I'm talking about God. God will give you testimonies, I prayed and God moved, I prayed and God showed up, I prayed and God spoke. Come on, does anybody know that your God is still alive and well? Give Him a shout of praise in the house. Prayer. Prayer is the difference between the best we can do and the best God can do. Prayer. Call unto me and I will answer you. So now, we know that prayer is not a monologue but a dialogue. Never pray and not expect God to speak to you, He's gonna speak to you. You talk to me, I'll talk back. And I'll show you, so now there's, see this is how God usually speaks, with a picture.
I've never heard God with these ears and I've never seen God with these eyes but I've experienced God as He's given me a picture, a vision, an idea. Don't think of like visions as just like, you know, your eyes roll to the back of your head and you get caught up in a trance and I think that can happen, it's in the Bible but that's not what I'm talking about. You're praying and you start to see something, start to sense something, you start to feel something. Sometimes you'll even get a phrase and it'll kind of go in front of you, you'll actually like see a sentence in front of you and you'll kind of just know. So I call and He answers me and He shows me things. Man, I don't know what to do, now He shows me things that I do not know. Now, you'll never pray until you admit that you do not know. Some of y'all know too much, which means you don't know enough. It's not until you get to the place of I don't know that you can really become a prayer warrior. And there are, you have to believe this from Scripture, there are things you don't know. But if you would commit to praying, God would begin to reveal to you what you do not know. This is so powerful. See, I don't want to get to heaven and go, I didn't know. I don't want to be a spiritual baby when I get to heaven.
Amen, I don't want to be an infant. By the time I get to heaven, I want to know some stuff. I want heaven to be familiar to me. Heaven will only become familiar to you if you become a person of prayer, because that's where heaven meets earth. Talk about prayer, the life of prayer. The life of prayer will take you to a place that education cannot give you, pedigree cannot give you, money cannot buy you, people cannot give it to you. It is a God-given place called the place of prayer. I'm inviting you to become a man of prayer, a woman of prayer, a people of prayer. That may city light be a house of prayer. And my prayer by the end of this weekend is that God baptizes us in a spirit of prayer where our faith goes to another level. That's what I'm really believing for by the end of this weekend, that God is releasing a fresh wind on this house of faith and belief and prayer, and we're never gonna be the same again. In Jesus' name, amen. Number one, number one, I wanna talk about the prayer of agreement. These are all the prayers that we see in James 5. And the first is the prayer of agreement. Is anyone among you sick? Is anyone among you hurting? Is anyone among you suffering?
Let him call for the elders of the church. Let's come into agreement about the issue that we're facing. Never forget this, you can borrow another person's faith. When you can't pray, when you can't call on God, call on the elders. When you have nothing else to say to God, when you've run out of strength, when you've run out of spiritual energy, when you've run out of faith, when you go to talk to God and nothing is there, pick up your phone and call the church. Call a friend, phone a friend, phone a friend and borrow the faith of God's people and say, for whatever reason right now, I can't pray, but can you pray over me? I love how it says that. Over him, would you pray over me? Would you cover me? Would you anoint me with oil? Because I just need a moment of faith. I need the wind of God to touch my life. I don't have anything left, so I'm gonna borrow your faith. Come on, how many know that there is power when we pray together? I'm talking about the power of agreement. Elbow your neighbor and say, I need to borrow some faith. Come on, tell them right now, I need to borrow some faith. I need to borrow some faith. I need your faith. We could borrow each other's.
That happened in Acts chapter three. There was a man who was sick and he looked at Peter and John and he said, can I have some money? Peter said, I don't have money, but here's what I have. I'll give it to you. In the name of Jesus, rise up and walk. He gave him what he had. There is power in impartation. There is power in gathering with the people of God. Man, if you're ever on a row here worshiping and you look down your row and man, it just kind of feels funky and everybody feels a little weird, just move, just move. Just be like, you know, y'all are crazy. I'm gonna find me a praiser. I'm gonna find me somebody with a big old leather Bible, preferably King James. I need some these and thous this morning and I need somebody to worship with. I need a praise partner. I need a faith partner. I need to connect my faith with somebody else. When Jesus saw, this is so powerful, their faith, he said to the man, he saw their faith and he said to the man, he saw their faith. Whose faith? Well, there was a sick man who got carried into a church service by four friends. They put him on a mat and they carried him to Jesus. Jesus saw their faith.
Whose? At least two. Was he one of them? I'm not sure. But that's what happens in the gathering of the saints. He no longer just sees you individually, though he does because he'll speak just to you, but he sees us corporately. And he'll speak to us corporately and he'll respond to us corporately. It's what we would call a corporate faith or a corporate anointing. It's when we gather with the saints. You can pray by yourself. You should pray by yourself. You can worship by yourself. You should worship by yourself. You should have your own walk with God. Amen. Agree. But there is something about getting in the house of God with the people of God, lifting up the praises of God. Come on, that begins to do something. Clap your hands if you believe it. For where two or three gather in my name, there I will be with them. But isn't he everywhere? Yeah. But isn't he in every place and all the time? Yeah, he is.
And yet there's something about coming into agreement that God blesses. One can chase 1,000 to flight, but two can chase 10,000, not 2,000, 10,000, 10X. 10X, 10X, 10X, move over Grant Cardone, 10X. Two people together can come into agreement and do 10 times what you could do by yourself. It's the prayer of agreement. It's the power of going, I need you to pray for me. It's the power of going, I need help. It's the power of going, I've got issues in my life and for whatever reason I can't move this mountain by myself, can I get some help? Can I get some prayer? And something supernatural begins to happen. I'm talking about the prayer of agreement. Thirdly, the prayer of praise. I'm sorry, secondly, the prayer of praise. I'm moving fast, sorry, my bad, the prayer of praise. The prayer of praise thanks God in advance for what he's about to do, in advance for what he's about to do. Jesus is staring at the tomb of his best friend, Lazarus. And before he says, Lazarus, come forth, before there's a miracle, before there's a change, before you can see anything, before you can feel anything, before you can sense anything, before you know anything is changing in the natural, Jesus, before he sees the miracle, says, Father, I thank you that you heard me.
It is absolutely 100% appropriate to thank God after the miracle. But it is faith to thank God before the miracle. To say, Lord, I don't know how, and I don't know when, and I don't know when you're gonna do it, and I don't know how you're gonna do it, but Father, I thank you that you heard me, and I thank you that you hear me, and I thank you that you hear me. And I thank you that you're about to do something in my life, and I'm gonna praise you on credit that you're gonna get it done because you're a debtor to no man. So God, I give you the glory in advance for all that you're about to do in my life. Hallelujah, to God be the glory. Come on, somebody shout with me right now. I feel like something's about to break loose in your life. Father, I thank you. For what? For nothing, it hasn't happened yet, but I thank you that you've already heard me. Thank God until joy touches your soul. I think we've preached. so much in the church about how we don't walk by feelings, we don't walk by feelings, we don't walk by feelings. I get that, but God's given us emotions, they're a gift. And you can actually praise God until something hits your soul and you go, okay, yeah, God's moving.
Okay, God's working. The Bible says, put on the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness. Praise until that heaviness starts lifting off of you. Until something in you goes, all right, it's gonna be all right. All right, God's good, okay. All right, God's with me. All right, what's gonna happen next? I'm not sure, but I'm all right, I'm gonna make it. Praise until that garment gets on you. Until that heaviness starts lifting. That's why music is such a gift. It fills in the gaps where fear and doubt and confusion could fill in. Where's Caesar at? He's probably on a smoke break, huh? Where's our keyboard player? Tell him to put that vape away, get out here. I'd like him to come out here if he can. He's not really smoking. He's like, he's the most Pentecostal, like true blue. He would die that even making that joke. He'd be like, pastor, don't even joke about cigarettes, pastor. It's not funny, pastor. I don't know if he could come out. Because if he can, tell him to come. Because what music does is it fills in the gaps. Because here's what can happen.
You'll start praying and you'll start, well, Lord, I just pray for the, and then he kind of hit a lull. Start hearing your heartbeat, you know. You start hearing your nose whistle. You're like, just breaks you out of the flow. The music fills the gap. The music fills in the space. And then you could sing and you could praise and you can, Lord, I thank you. Lord, I worship you. Lord, you're awesome. And then you kind of get back in the flow. And then once again, you start to pray. Lord, I pray for my husband. Lord, I pray for my wife. I pray for my, oh, Cesar, my guy. I know you're right in the middle of eating breakfast or something back there, but just give me a nice something. Just a nice something. You know those things I like. You know those things. Just give me a tiny key. It's easier to pray with that. Turn him up. Is that the music or the skill or the gift or the anointing or God's presence or, yes. So stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. Well, Lord, we just prayed today.
David told me I need to pray, so God, here I am. You sound a lot better, sir. Well, Lord, all of a sudden you sound awesome. All of a sudden you sound like a man of God. And then you praise the Lord and you worship the Lord and you sing off key and you honor God and you praise God. And Lord, I thank you that you're gonna answer my prayer and I thank you that you're moving in my life and I thank you that you're gonna do something special this year in my family. And I thank you that my greatest days are set and all this. And that music carries you through the lull of, okay, now I kind of prayed my list. I kind of talked to God about the things I was. Okay, well, I was planning on praying for 30 minutes and I prayed through my prayer list in 30 seconds. Now what do I do? Worship. God, I thank you that you're moving. God, I thank you that you're speaking. Does that make sense? And then it refocuses your heart. Be anxious for nothing but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. With thanksgiving, with thanksgiving, with thanksgiving, with thanksgiving. Here's what happens if you pray with thanksgiving.
Verse seven, you get verse seven and the peace of God surpasses all understanding. If you're not praying with thanksgiving, you never get the peace. The thanksgiving comes in and here's what happens. The peace comes in and he guards, he rules, he reigns. That word guard is the word umpire. It's where we get umpire like peace starts calling the shots and not fear, not the devil, not your emotions, not your worries, not what you're, peace starts deciding, safe, home, out, ball, strike. This is all the baseball terms I know. Three-pointer. Touchdown. Wait, what? Are we in a different sport? Par. You know, whatever. The, he becomes the umpire. Peace becomes the dis, wouldn't you love to live a life by peace? Not bullied by the devil. Not bullied by emotions. Not bullied by culture. Not bullied by people's opinion. Not bullied by the fear of man. I'm led by, I'm moved by peace. So God, I thank you for all that you're doing in my life. I give you the glory. I thank you that you're moving mountains and you're working. I thank you. And now peace comes. Peace rules and reigns. Thirdly is the prayer of victory. You're stuck up here now. The prayer of victory. There will be times where you'll come under increased attacks from the enemy. And in those moments, we do not, we do not pray from a place of praying for victory. We pray from a place of victory. And not everything's a demonic attack and not, not every day should be warfare and not, you know, you're not that important. You know what I'm saying? Like, it's the devil, it's the devil. Again? You?
But there are times where it feels, it feels like, man, what is up? What is going on? And in that moment, there is a response that we make in the spirit. Watch this. Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has demanded. Satan has a desire. Satan wants to. Satan has a will. Don't forget this. Satan has a, is a personality with, he's a spirit who, who has a desire. He wants to have you that he might sift, separate, tear apart. Satan wants to destroy your life. But, now watch this, but, but is a contradiction. But is a disagreement. What is everything I just said, I'm now going to disagree with it. I'm going to come against it. And I'm going to declare something new that has more power than what I just said. Y'all ready? So, yes, there is a devil. Yes, he wants to destroy my life. Yes, he has a plan to bring harm to my life, to my family, to my future, to my destiny. Yes, all of that may be true. But, there is a prayer that can push back darkness. There is the prayer that can contradict the devil. There is a prayer that disagrees with demons. There is a prayer that says, no devil, I pray, and my faith will not fail. Let me get about 300 people to jump up on your feet and shout. If you know I'm preaching the truth. Back up, devil. I pray, and my prayer has more power than his plan. But, but, but, but, but. But we have prayed. But we have prayed.
But we have prayed. Peter was in prison. Peter was in prison. Peter's on death row. Peter's about to get his head chopped off in the morning. Peter was kept in prison, Acts 12, 5. But the church was earnestly praying to God for him. This is such a powerful verse. Acts 12, 5. But the church prayed. James already died. James had already had his head cut off. The people loved to see him die. And so now they're going to do to Peter what they did to James. But. But, the church started a prayer meeting and said, we have to pray for Peter. Peter's asleep in prison, and an angel comes, wakes him up, his chains fall off, and he walks him out of jail. Peter goes to the prayer meeting where they're praying, knocks, guys, guys, guys, good news, good news, good news, I'm free. And the girl who opens the door runs into the prayer meeting and says, guys, stop praying. God answered our prayer. Peter's out of prison. And they said, that's impossible, he's in jail. Father, we just pray for Peter that... Because sometimes our prayers are not powerful. Can we put it back up? Can we put that back up? Acts chapter 12. I want to show you this, earnestly.
There was emotion. There was honesty. There was... There wasn't necessarily this big, bold faith. God, no, it's already done. It wasn't that. It was just like, God, I can't, we can't have another loss. I can't take another hit. Their faith was broken, but listen, listen, listen. Even broken faith can break chains. Even disappointed faith can break chains. Even weary faith can get answers. And it's an amazing moment that we'll all have to face at some point in our life when we're trying to believe God right now for Peter. But I'm still grieving the loss of James. And I'm in this tug of war of emotion. I'm trying to believe God for now, but I'm still discouraged by what happened. And if you serve God long enough, you'll, you'll have to face these moments. When you're the pastor, you face them almost weekly, where you're like, you're trying to walk into the room and you're trying to have faith for right now, and you're thinking about something that happened this week that's, that's taking you out and you have to go, okay, but I'm going to, but I'm going to believe right now for, for, for this right now. While I'm grieving what just happened in my life. Maybe you're facing one of those moments. And so here's my challenge to you. Like that church who prayed with a disappointed faith, like that church who prayed with a broken faith, like that church who prayed with a, I just, I don't even know if it can happen. I want to ask you to do that today. Pray with whatever faith you got.
You know that when God told Gideon to deliver the nation, Tony, he said, go in the strength you have. Because Gideon's thinking, I got like, I'm down to 1% God. God said, that's all you need. Because I'll fill the gap. It's five loaves and two fish enough to feed 5,000? No. So you just give him, you're not enough. Then when he prayed again, James chapter 5, 18, then when he prayed again, then when, when, when today could be your, when to get today could be your, then today can be your again. Hasn't rained in three and a half years, been in a drought, been in a famine, but he prayed again. Maybe you feel like you're in a drought today. I just, I've come to declare, I see the rain falling again. on the people of City Light Church. I see the rain of provision. I see the rain of the Holy Spirit. I see the rain of a fresh faith and a fresh fire. I see the rain of God's presence on your family and on your children. I declare your children will serve the Lord. I declare your children will speak in tongues. I declare your children will be worshipers and praisers. I declare things are turning around. I declare the rain, the rain, let it rain in the name of Jesus. Let it rain in the name of Jesus. I declare the drought is breaking. Pray again. And he prayed again. And he prayed again. And he prayed again. I feel like for a lot of people today it's an again day for you it's a I'm coming back. I'm going to reignite and recommit my faith to God. I'm not talking about you're lost. I'm talking about disappointment has robbed you of expectation. But I smell the rain coming. I see the clouds forming. By the way when it rained in this scripture when you read it in the Old Testament it started
with a cloud the size of a man's hand. It was not big. It started small and it started to grow. And I just feel like if you would just if you would just yield to something today something supernatural could happen in your life. Let the rain fall Holy Spirit. Stretch out your hands. Just stretch out your hands. Touch our soul Lord. Touch our mind. Give me a little bit of pats. Jesus. Come Holy Spirit and do something powerful in this moment. Manifest your glory I pray in the name of Jesus. Let your presence begin to minister down every aisle down every row. Encourage every weary soul right now I pray Lord. Jesus. Jesus. Jesus. Jesus. When I don't know what else to say and I don't know what else to pray and I don't know who else to sing Jesus. Jesus. Help your people today Lord. Help your people today Lord. Help your people today Lord. When I don't know what to do call unto me. Oh what a Savior, isn't he wonderful, sing hallelujah, let that garment of praise put it on right now by faith, hallelujah, by faith right now. Lean back into his presence. Fix your eyes on Jesus right now. Oh what a Savior, isn't he wonderful, sing hallelujah, let that garment of praise put it on right now by faith, hallelujah, by faith, hallelujah, by faith right now. Hallelujah.
Christ is risen. He's risen. Can we bow down, bow down, bow down before him. Oh he's risen. Hallelujah. Sing hallelujah. Come on in Holy Ghost, come on in Holy Ghost, have your way in Holy Ghost, speak to everybody Come on in Holy Ghost, come on in Holy Ghost, have your way in Holy Ghost, speak to everybody Come on in Holy Ghost, come on in Holy Ghost, have your way in Holy Ghost, speak to everybody Oh what a Saviour, isn't He wonderful? Hallelujah, my Saviour Come on in Holy Ghost, come on in Holy Ghost, have your way in Holy Ghost, speak to everybody It's been different today, all weekend I heard somebody asking this question, could God use me, could God use my story? I heard it, I heard it in my spirit Somebody's just calling, could God, could God redeem us, could God make something beautiful of this? And I thought about, I'm looking for a scripture, I feel like that funny British guy this week who couldn't find his scripture with Matthew 1, the Bible says, as they're sharing the genealogy of Jesus, they're going through, they're going through, they're going through This person begat this person, this person, this person, and then it says, and Rahab the prostitute, and it's like, that's a little personal Nobody else's career got mentioned, but I think it was like God going, if I could bring the Messiah into the earth Through a family tree, that had Rahab in it, what could I do in your life? If I could redeem her, I could redeem you If I could take her life and her past and make something beautiful of it, I could do it with you, and if you've been dealing with shame about your past In one moment, not yet, I'm going to ask you to lift your hands, and here's what I'm going to ask you to do when you lift your hands, I'm going to ask you to take it And I'm just going to ask you to give it right to the Lord And God is going to make something beautiful of your story Of your family of your future. Could God use me? Could God love me? Could God take this and do something with it? Yeah. Jeremiah 18 says he's the potter, we're the clay,
and he knows how to take mud and dirt and mess. And he knows how to shape it and form it, turn it into something beautiful. If you would, if you would put yourself, this is how Jeremiah 18 starts. Let's go down to the potter's house. Like if you would be willing to go down to the potter's house, he'd do something with it. So if I'm talking to you, just raise your hands and give it to him right now. Give him every part of you. And I declare in the name of Jesus that he is redeeming your story. He's reshaping your future. You're gonna look on your life and you'll actually be able to say, I saw the hand of God weaving in and out through all of it. And I just say shame off of you in the name of Jesus. Not shame on you, shame off of you. May it lift off your shoulders. May that heavy burden of shame come off of you forever in the name of Jesus. And God will use your story and your testimony as a witness to your world in Jesus name. I felt led to pray today for people who are, you've recently got a negative diagnosis from the doctor. And I feel like the last week or two, you have received a bad report from the doctor. And I wanna do two things today.
I wanna pray first that fear would leave you just that it would run. And I wanna pray number two, that God would heal your body. And so if I'm feeling like the last, maybe one to three weeks, there has been a negative report from the doctor and you are feeling this and you are needing God's healing touch. Can I see, can I see your hand? Would you come? Would you come and the team's gonna help you just line up right here, right up front, right down to the center. In the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus, every knee has to bow to the name of Jesus. Every sickness healed in the name of Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. I break the spirit of fear that would lie to you and would bind you and cripple you. I bind that thing that is trying to bind you and I remove it in the name of Jesus. As your pastor, I come against that thing for you and I come into agreement with you and I declare fear is leaving and peace is coming. Right now, I speak peace over your home. Jesus said, if they receive you, he told the disciples, if they receive you,
if the people receive you, place peace on their house and I put peace on your home right now and in your bedroom and in your restroom and in your kitchen and in every area and every square inch of your property, I speak the peace of God into your house right now in the name of Jesus, hallelujah. And now Lord, you told us to call on the elders of the church and to anoint with oil and the prayer of faith will heal the sick and so that's what I pray right now. Now, in Jesus' name, say your baby, in Jesus' name. Your whole family, in the name of Jesus, do a miracle, Lord. Jesus. Jesus. Jesus. Jesus. In the name of the Lord. In the name of Jesus. Glory to God. From the top of your head to the soles of your feet. Jesus. Help her today, Lord. Just bring her a little closer. Just come a little closer. Come a little closer. Jesus, for my family, I speak the holy name of Jesus. Lord, reverse every negative diagnosis. It breaks supernaturally. Let me see your hands. Let's see your hands. In the name of Jesus. From the top of her head to the soles of her feet. In the name of Jesus. Thank you, Lord. Your blood. They cleanse, they're free, and healed. In the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus.
Just worship the Lord for a moment. In the name of Jesus. Jesus. Jesus. Thank you, Lord. From the top of her head to the soles of her feet. In the name of Jesus. Jesus, for my family. In the name of Jesus. Jesus. You're just believing today. I want to go back to the rain falling. And he prayed again and the rain fell. And if you just need a fresh faith today, you need a fresh wind today, you need a second wind. Psalm 92 said, God would anoint your head with fresh oil. Not yesterday's faith, not yesterday's manna, not yesterday's anointing, not yesterday's miracle. A fresh anointing. For the season you're in. And I even felt that, I even felt like just somewhere in the last even year, just your faith has grown weary. But I see a cloud the size of a man's hand. If you just need that fresh touch of the Lord, just let me see who I'm praying for. Let me see who I'm praying for. And here's what I want you to do, as many as you can. I just want you to move out of your seat. I feel like something needs to happen. I want you to move out of your seat and just meet me down here. You who are down here can stay or you can go back, but begin to move down. Come on, begin to come down and just stand in the presence of God. presence of the Lord. I think there's just something about getting out of your seat for a moment. From the mount. Just come, and I believe the Holy Spirit's going to touch you right here. Keep coming, keep coming, keep coming. Just as you come, lift up your hands and begin to praise the Lord. Everybody just begin to sing to Him right now. Come on, let's praise the Lord.
Praise the Lord. Give Him your life again. Give Him your heart again. Give Him your faith again. Just take a moment. I promise we're almost done, but I just, man, I just feel like if you would just open your heart. Come Holy Spirit. Worthy, worthy, worthy, worthy, worthy, worthy. Worthy, worthy, worthy, worthy, worthy, worthy. You deserve it all. You deserve it all. You are worthy of it all. Just lift up your hands, close your eyes, and just, you are worthy of it all. We're from you. For from you are all things, and to you are all things. You deserve the glory. So with every eye closed, every head bowed, if you're here today, you'd say, Javen, I need to give my life to Jesus. I want to walk with the Lord. I wanna become a follower of Jesus. Life is so short. Give your life to Jesus. If that's you and you wanna give your life to Christ or rededicate your life to the things of God, let's pray. We're all gonna pray out loud, but it's gonna mean so much for you to pray. All over this room out loud, let's pray for you online, correctional facilities, worshiping with us as well. Let's pray together. Say, Jesus, I believe in you. I believe you died for me. I believe you rose again. Forgive me of my sin and make me a new creation. I declare today, Jesus is Lord of my life. I declare today, Jesus is Lord of my life.
Thank you, Lord. And now may the Lord bless you and keep you. And may the Lord make his face shine on you. And may the Lord lift up his countenance upon you. And may the Lord give you his peace. Father, I'm praying this week as we pray that you would answer us and that you would show us great and mighty things we do not know. May answers come this week from your presence. May miracles be released. May things that have been held up break open. Walls that have stood for a long time, may they come tumbling down. Lord, I thank you for a fresh wind for your people. A fresh faith, a fresh fire. And I give you the glory for it. Thank you for what you are doing in us right now. We say, thank you. And we expect to continue to see your presence and your hand move in our life. In the strong name of Jesus, amen, amen. Amen. Amen, we agree. Come on, to Jesus and Jesus alone, let's give him the glory. Amen. Amen. Amen.
Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen.
