Heavenly Father, we thank you 10:12 that you sent Jesus for this very purpose to destroy the works of Satan. And will you do that Aresh, manifest your power and your glory in our midst, not by anything else except that the power of sin is completely set apart and 10:25 broken completely. So Lord, we pray that you'll do that. Thank you for the spiritual victory you've already won. Thank you that Satan and his host, every single one of them are a defeated band of hosts. They've been completely 10:36 defeated on the cross.

I pray for every marriage represented in 10:59 this room and those listening online, husbands and wives, knit our hearts together in deeper love. Preserve us, Lord. preserve our marriages in purity, in love, in peace, in joy in every situation. Will you do that, Lord? I 11:12 pray for marriages that may have grown cold or distant.

We pray that they will 11:57 be disciples of yours that they will be taken up with heaven taken up with eternity. Lord, for any who are walking in sin or have walked away from you, we pray that you'll draw them back through the power of the Holy Spirit. In the 12:07 same way that you drew us, in the same way, Lord, that your love drew the prodigal back, will you bring them back to your home, bring them back to your fold and let them know the joy that we have tasted off. Thank you. You will 12:19 you'll do that, Lord. And pray that you'll knit unity in this church as well through our families, Lord. We don't want a club experience.

Some couldn't be here because they're sick. Lord, even at this moment, will you lay your hands, those same healing hands 13:03 with which you open blind eyes and those that couldn't hear and those that couldn't speak and you cast out demons and you raise the dead back to life. Will you do a miracle, Lord, for those who need it according to your will. 13:14 Touch their bodies, we pray, in the name of Jesus, and bring healing. Even those that deal with constant pain or other forms of ailment, touch them, and if it is your will, heal them completely. We know you're able. You're the one that 13:24 knit our bodies together in our mother's wombs when we were not even seen this world. You knit our hearts together. We are fearfully and wonderfully made. You've counted our days. You've numbered them, Lord. You've written them in your 13:35 book. And so, Lord, will you bring healing to those who need it so that we can serve you, Lord, our bodies for you, for you alone, not for this world, not for our own pleasures. We've given our bodies to you. We've given our bodies to 13:46 you as a living sacrifice. So come and heal these physical bodies, Lord, that they can truly be healthy and whole temples of the Holy Spirit, full of purity, full of your holiness, Lord. And pray for our job situations. Thank you 13:59 for the work you've allowed us to do on this earth. We believe it's from you and you've given us the responsibility to provide for our families and to pro to raise up a godly generation here on this earth. Lord, I pray that even as we 14:11 work, we won't be caught up with the temporariness of this world, the things that are passing away. Everything in the world is passing away. You could come at any moment, Lord. We know that you could call us home today. Help us to be ready 14:22 to live in that readiness, to be dressed in readiness, Lord, that if you were to call us home right this moment, we would have no regrets in eternity. And I pray everyone that's listening to this prayer will be will determine, Lord, today that 14:33 by your help, by the power of the Holy Spirit, our we will be ready at all times.

We we believe that your hand is moved through prayer. You've done it in the scriptures. You've 14:56 done it over over time since then. You've done it in our own lives. We've seen you do it. We ask again, Lord, simply that we can live the lives that you want us to live. We can fulfill our calling here on this earth. We can 15:07 further your kingdom with the jobs that you've given us.

Thank you, Father. You've heard our prayer. You will do it. We thank you in Jesus name. Amen. [Music] The Bible talks about those who have 16:22 forgotten their forgiveness from their former sins from the pit from which Christ picked them up. Such a person is shortsighted. We read, "Lord, give us this longsightedness where we remember not our sin because you choose not to remember that, but 16:40 remember that we are a forgiven people, a cleansed people. Even as we deal with those who are not yet cleansed or are stained by the world, who are living in sin, may we remember that you cleansed us. We're sinners who have been made saints. 16:57 Saved by your grace alone. Not because we deserved it. Simply because you cast a pitiful eye on me one day, on us one day when we were in that pit. And you lean down your hand. You put your hands on our shoulders and said, "I love you. 17:12 I'll clean you up. Come and live with me in my palace and be my bride." May we never forget it. Open our eyes aresh this morning to see Gethsemane, to see Calvary, and to see your throne where you are seated at the right hand 17:29 of the father interceding for us night and day. Jesus, Lord. Oh, help me always to remember how your miracle delivered me from pain. 17:50 How your love has freed my captive heart forever. By your grace, you've always been my wonder. I was dead and then you gave me life 18:09 again. Yes, you gave me life again. >> And I won't forget the torment and the sadness. [Music] 18:28 I was helpless. So I called upon your name. And you answered me with blessings, tender kindness, shown your own to take away my sorrows, 18:47 darkness, and the light upon your face now shines on me. Yes, forever shines on me. 19:04 Now my soul will sing of your eternal spring time. No more clouds and no more shadows in my heart. With a sacrifice 19:21 of praising before you with a pray of thankfulness I will adore you Jesus Lord you are the treasure of my life the treure 19:44 of my singing that last verse again now my soul Now my soul will sing of your eternal spring I pray. No more songs and no more shadows in my heart. 20:03 With a sacrifice of praise I knew before you. With the fair of faithfulness, I will adore you, Jesus. Lord, you are the treasure of my 20:23 life. The treure of my life. Have you seen him? The treasure of your life. Have you heard him? Then what have 20:41 you to do with idols when you've seen him captivated by his beauty? Have you seen him? Hear him on him. Is not yours a captured heart. Chief above 10,000 21:00 own it. Joyful choose the better part.
