The topic for those in the month of November is an important prayer. An important prayer. An opportunity is a persistence in the place of prayer. Persistence is you.
When you call upon God. How are you speaking to your God? How are you speaking to your God? Do you just pray for a while after that you forget about prayer or get discouraged in the place of prayer?
Maybe you ask God for something now and it seems as if it's the same. And that's the end of the prayer. You just forget about it. If you feel like, do it.
If you don't feel like, normally the good prayer is the will of God, but in the place of prayer, God expects your persistency. God wants you to pray without season. In Luke chapter 18 verse 1, Jesus himself speak a part of the disciples and he told them there's a man out on the way to pray and not to things. God expects you to keep praying.
There are a lot of things in which we need to pray about. A lot. We need to invite yourself about it. Even if you start interested in it for your friends.
You start visiting for people around you. In fact, before you know it, you have a lot of prayer points. A lot of prayer points. So there are a lot of things that we got Jesus expects us to pray about.
This is an example of a man that went to his friends in Luke chapter 11. He went to his friends, he's his friend to ask for three loads of bread. He was expecting another friend coming from a family in the Johnny, at this time. And he went to his friend at night and asked his friend, give me three loads of bread.
My friend is on the way. He called me or told me that it's on the way. I want to prepare for my friend before coming. That is the place of intercession.
This friend at no leech out in our situation. The load of the bread that he went to go and ask for. It was not even what I was going to eat it. It wasn't meant for him.
It was meant for his friend. He knew that your friend was already weary. Coming from the way. He went back.
He was already tired. So he went ahead to go and look for what the friend we eat before getting there. That is the place of intercession. God especially in tasit for your friends.
God especially in tasit for people around you. God especially in tasit for your church members. God especially in tasit for your church members. God especially in tasit for them.
Pray without season. May the generation we have today, we are today now. We are so much and gross with ourselves. We want just ourselves.
Lord bless me. Bless my family. Bless my household. In fact, our prayer point is like the prayer point of the Pharisee.
In Luke, that went to the temple to pray. When we got to the temple in the place of prayer, we kept on praying about himself. It depends so much in himself. It depends so much in his ability.
It depends so much in his alliness, his righteousness. He believed that all the things he had been doing, it was by his own power. And he went to go to the temple to pray. And truly he started with thanks thanks given.
Which is very important to the place of prayer. He started with thanks given. He told God in Luke chapter 18, starting from verse 9. And if you look at the verse 10, it came, it went to temple when he prayed.
He told God, he said, I thank God. But I am not as the odd, I mean, he was not going with the hope of intercedent for elders. Instead, it was even coming to say that it was so righteous. In fact, it was coming to delegates, or to pull down somebody else.
What did he tell? Let's take the place of prayer. He was saying, he said, I thank God, I am not like this, I mean, I am not like this. This is not the hearts that God wanted.
A child of God is led to have. I am not like this person. That means you believe, so righteous. You believe that you have it all.
You believe that your righteousness has taken you to where you have. The truth of the matter is friends, why you so much depend on your righteousness. You so much depend on yourself. That is why I believe my power.
If I don't do this, this is what I am going to. Normally, this is not the encouragement for going to sin. But when you depend on yourself over all you have been doing, this is not the attitude that God wanted from you. If you have what Jesus said at the end, after all his prayers, which is the Pharisee, I mean, I am this, that I pray, paid my tithe.
I did not, I was not like this one of the public hands. That came to pray. Ultimately, I was not committing adultery. I was not on joys.
I was not an estochman. I was not this and as others. I fasted twice in a week. After all these righteousness, I just put a table down before God.
That meeting to deserve been as a prayer. Deserve to be to be rest, serve righteous. Jesus said and I asked, among the people between these people, the public and I came to me, that would not lift up his eyes towards me, towards heaven. But he was asking God, be merciful to me, is sin.
Would all of them, which of them were justified? Jesus asked, say, this man, that was pleading and asking for mercy. This man was more justified than the policy. They were so receptive, righteous, and dependent so much on his righteousness.
Friends, when I am going today's intercession for your friends, or people around you is the key towards the kingdom of advancements. Do not just be me alone, alone. Syndrome, you need to pray for your friends. This is the part of the opportunity in the place of prayer.
Seek the face of God for your friends. Like this woman man came and went to Jesus, went to his friend, rather, to act for his friend who was on the way on the journey. Not going back to the widow, the maguman, the widow that asked the judge for help. Jesus used an example also to know how we had to pray as his elects.
He said, man, you ought to always pray and not to friends. Friends, at this point in time, are you already fainting? In the generation we had now a lot of people are fainting. Things are around us are discouraging.
Economy, situation, discouraging. Everything seems as if it's not working, and people get discouraged. Even concerning the nation and they are discouraged. Friends, this is not the time for us to get discouraged.
Jesus said, this is the main ought always to pray. And not to friends. Please do not let us get fainting or get discouraged at this point in time. Jesus is looking not to force in the place of prayer to pray, especially for his elects.
He wants us, if you are a ghost elect, he wants you to pray to seek him always. When this widow went to the righteous judge, this man was not even ready at all, or willing to answer the request of the widow. He didn't know what I'm saying. In fact, the Bible said, this man didn't know if he got it.
The Bible said, this man got it not to me anymore. There was no fear at all in his art. It was anyone on righteous duty. But he said, if I didn't know how to attend to this widow, he would keep on troubling me.
He would keep on troubling me. And if I don't have engine, he would weary me. So instead of for him, let me quickly attend to her. So when I attend to her, I know immediately she leaves me.
And when she leaves me, I get my piece back. This is what the righteous judge said. He did not answer the widow man because he liked it. Ah, he did not answer to the prayer because he wanted something from her.
What he really, the reason why he answered was for her to live, be able to live in a new life, his own insanity. He just wanted to have his sanity. That was the reason why he answered the woman. And Jesus spoke and said, yeah, what this one just said.
Listen to what he said. This one just just answered. And the Bible says in verse 7, let me quote it as it was written there. In Luke chapter 18 verse 7, And shall not go at avenge is it?
Or last I did from 6, and the lost said, and the lost said, yeah, what the only just judge. Yes, the law knew that this man was unjust. And if this one just goes back like this, because of importunity in the place of request for 18, the woman cannot request an importunity, consistency in asking and in asking, friends, there's a power in your consistency in asking God. There's a power behind it.
There's a power, there's a potency in your consistency, and keep asking God for 18. Keep asking him. He knows the way to do it. He knows how to work it out for you.
Even if you are asking him, he knows what to do to suit him, to put you in his will. He knows the way to do it. You might be asking for what seems to somebody was, let me say example, you might ask him for something that God sees since this thing is so small for you. And you'll feel like that's the biggest thing of God that God could give unto you all the time.
But God is walking out the one that is the greatest. That's the greatest of all. So when you are asking God and you are asking God's elect, don't think that God is not answering your prayer. Keep asking.
The Bible says, knock, or this fuzzy as I say, you ask. And he shall be given unto you. He said, seek, and you shall find. He said, knock, keep knocking, keep knocking, keep knocking.
And he shall be open unto you. friends, are you relenting a place of prayer? Please go back and pray to God. Telling what we are going through.
Jesus said in that parable, he said, and shall not go to avenge his elect, his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, do he bear long with him with them with them? And they said, I tell you that it will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man commits, shall he find faith on the heads? Now he does go to a stage in which he live now.
That's a lot of elects of the Lord. Go to the Lord, they are relenting in the place of prayer. And Jesus said, can I see me with faith? Can I see the compassion, see people that are already known to me and not looking for alternatives?
A lot of people now, now, there is a lot of ill gossellates looking for alternatives, or alternatives, short-goes, sharpshap, short-goes to us everything. Friends, there is no alternative when it comes to the place of prayer, to go. It's like that you go and get alternatives, or you still put to God. And I tell you if you trust in the Lord with all your hearts, and you still put unto him, ask to not add his only woman that can do it.
I'm telling you, you will see the result of prayer. This way the woman saw that nobody could help except his alright just George. And she still puts, they are nice, she kept asking this man until the man answered. She knew that the air will only come from this man.
Even the holy friend that we're talking about, seeking for the tender love of the brave, that what is friend, it believes someone that he friends when I get to him, it will give me. So he step-puts, friends, step-put in the Lord. Trust him, no matter what you are going through, step-puts, trust in the Lord with all your hearts. That part of that you keep asking, keep asking, keep asking, you will surely do it.
You cannot just be asking God for things, he will not do it. Accept you are not asking him fit, accept you have plan B, accept you are looking towards another direction, while you are calling upon him. But you call upon him with all of your hearts, if you trust him with all of your hearts, he will surely answer you. Friends, God is speaking to you today, maybe somebody is saying, you are listening to me right now, you are hearing me at this point in time, are you about relating, taking an alternative route, which God does not even into his friends, take your steps back to God and look clean gone to him, he will surely deliver you, he will surely answer you prayers.
This is what the Lord has for you today, I pray that we have a place of waiting and waiting on him, trusting him with all of our hearts and to so important in the place of prayer, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, in Jesus of the name of the Holy name, we pray. Amen, very grace of God, if Jesus carries, listen to what he has to do with this man, remember, and the Lord God has to speak to us again, this one, look up towards that time, the Lord will speak to you again, if he carries, God bless your soul, in Jesus name, amen.
