Don't Take No for an Answer

it is so just such a privilege for us to be here my wife and I and two of our four children miles and meline and we just are blessed by being here being around your pastor and his wife such great people of God with a vision a big Vision amen we've been hearing some about that and that's exciting I was telling brother I think brother Harris I met this morning just it's it's good to go get out of your Fishbowl you know go Downstream and see what else is is going on in other places so uh of the you know but um and when you do that you're encouraged because you see what God's doing beyond your four walls and we're a part of a great kingdom of God it's his church amen we're his people we're brothers and sisters amen we're all trying to reach out to others that need him amen that need this hope that we found that's the joy that we have today it's in him and we have a hope to share with others amen but it is so good it build is my faith has already been built I've already kind of picked pastor's brain on some things that you all are doing here that God has been blessing and we want to get better we want to do better does anybody want to be better for the Lord whatever God's called you to amen amen sometimes you got to go consult the experts amen amen he's got all the answers your pastor has all the answers so if anybody needs a Lord have mercy no God has all the answers we know where to go amen but he does use those that he's put in positions and places in our lives amen and we want to stay in that place of covering and blessing amen it's important it's so important so I know you're standing so let me hurry up here with my preliminary comments um your pastor and wife and us go go back as he said not just to having the same birth year but we were also ordained together as ministers along with the Armstrongs us and brother and sister Sloan and myself and wife so that's a special thing to be ordained in in Ministry together and uh that and before that even uh brother Sloan was the sectional youth leader in the section so and then I followed in his footsteps and I became the sectional youth leader after he served and and then being ordained together and then it was a few years ago not too long but a few that brother SLO came and preached for us in Franklin and actually did a bilingual service that we were reaching into our Spanish community and was such a blessing with his gifts and uh his work of ministry and missions and other places that he was used in a powerful way and really helped us at an important time with that effort that God had given to us to do so we've certainly been able to share together other times but it's just interesting when you look back and see some of those I guess mile markers of life and people by the way um my family's were were good friends with the ramies and then their great-granddaughter bush is here sister Bush and got to be acquainted with her today today so when in the family of God in the church you're you're going to build a legacy and a lifetime of relationships and it's worth hanging around for I tell you it really is it's worth hanging around for don't go anywhere no matter what's happened or what may be going on just make up your mind and just settle it once and for all I'm going to be here I'm going to be here I'm going to be a part of the church I'm not going anywhere come as they say hell or high water and it will come both of them probably maybe at the same time but if you got a make up made up mind nothing can move you amen if you make up your mind it's going to work out cuz God's going to come stand with you amen like he does all the time and every time so I do believe what Pastor Sloan had said and he they have been so hospitable to us and they fed us and housed us probably would have clothed us if we need well they did they gave in a scarf and she was a little chilly last night so how about that doesn't get any better than that praise God they're taking care of the the homeless pastor and his wife and two kids that were away from home oh Lord help us all right we're going to the Book of Luke chapter 18 and I'm excited about the word of the Lord today something to get excited about um God knows what he's doing it's amazing to see how God works and uh he's already confirmed some of this word so I just know God is wanting to complete the work he started today and let's keep having faith that he will do that Luke 18 and verse 1 through verse 8 I want to read this whole passage but it said and he spake a parable unto them to this end that men ought always to pray and to not faint and not to faint saying verse two there was in a city a judge which feared not God neither regarded man and there was a widow in that City and she came unto him saying avenge me of mine adversary and he would not for a while but afterward he said within himself though I fear not God nor regard man yet because this Widow troubleth me I will avenge her he goes on he's he's kind of concerned at this point lest by her continual coming she wears me out verse six and the Lord said hear what the unjust judge had to say about the matter and then verse 7 he just kind of brings it home quickly he says and Shout not God avenge his own elect his own children which CED day and night unto him though he bear long with them sometimes the answer doesn't always come right when we ask for it but he knows where we are and he hears every prayer verse 8 and I tell you that he will avenge them speedily nevertheless when the son of man cometh shall he find faith on the Earth Earth if you want to know what God's looking for he's looking for your faith today and my faith that's all we need God can do anything anywhere at any time with anybody but he needs Faith as the platform to show up and demonstrate his power I believe God's come today because there's a word already been confirmed I've got first cor 2 Corinthians chapter 1 verse 20 let's read that real quick it just simply says there let's back up to verse 19 if they have it I didn't give it to the media team but I'll read it for you 2 Corinthians chap 1: 19 and verse 20 it says for the Son of God Jesus Christ who was preached among you by us even by me and sylvanus and Tim timotheus was not yay and nay it wasn't yes and no but in him was yes in Jesus Christ that we came preaching the gospel about him to you verse 20 for all the promises of God in him in Jesus Christ are yay and in him amen just simply put in our language they are yes and so be it unto the glory of God by us God wants to fulfill a promise today Hallelujah God is here as he's already spoken to turn things for the good and there's some promises some have been holding on today and I heard somebody pray the prayer out loud earlier on this platform and they said in you Jesus all your promises are yay and amen I heard somebody else on the other side say it a little bit later as they were exhorting do you know God knows what he's doing he's got a message today and he's going to deliver on his promise let's lift our hands and ask him today to help us have a faith that will take a hold of This Promise today and see the miracle that God desires to do in our lives Hallelujah fill us with the Holy Spirit today God baptize us with your lord anointing break every yoke that Lord might be in this house today are represented in families or homes oh God you perform the miracle work that only you can do have your way God show up quickly Lord come to our rescue today have your way oh God prepare us position us Place us right where you want us to be God to see you move on our behalf today in Jesus name everybody say in Jesus name God bless you you may be seated today I want just tell you today and here's my message don't take no for an answer don't take no for an answer amen you know we can all identify in some way with this story most of us have experienced this relational Dynamic from one side or the other it can show up really in almost any of our relationships one example is and probably the major example is our parent child relationships I've seen a lot of children here today and a lot of parents and grandparents I see a few grandparents out here too pastors getting ready to be a grandparent the second time and praise God it's it's getting good it's getting good H we have small children and adult children in here I just go ahead and admit it uh Even in our husband wives relationships we have four children Morgan's our oldest she's 22 she's at uran Christian College Mason's 18 he's at home helping with music today miles is here this morning he's 14 and then we have meline sitting back here by her friend and she's 12 and so we've become fully aware of this relational Dynamic Through The Years what Jesus was really talking about I remember when we had our first child Morgan we were young parents you know new to the game as you might say and uh I remember when we first began to kind of see this this um dynamic in play in the form of this uh strong willed child she she wouldn't let go she wouldn't give up on things that she wanted anybody ever seen that in one of your children just unrelenting that will that she had and and once she grew to about 2 years old we started to see that she was learning to have a will of her own and she learned that there were things she could have and things that you know she decided she wanted because sometimes she got some of those things and nothing was was else was going to do once she got locked in on something though nothing else would do and so she wasn't going to be talked out of it you ever tried to talk your child out of something they wanted try to she you know say something about it or get her distracted and you know you know the responses just screaming louder just saying I want it faster however that that came back so then you'd go into your full parent mode and you try to distract them real quick and get them on to something else and but then as you're carrying them out of the room they're still pointing back I'm on it I want you know how it is it's that will it's such a powerful thing and you see it in their lives and so she would just scream louder and point back and shake and continue on and so uh you try to you know Lord knows we've all been through some of this and you might be in the middle of it right now but it just has a way of kind of wearing us down it has a way of wearing on the parents will to try to find some Middle Ground you know you can't have everything I can't just say yes to everything that's not real life you we're trying to prepare these chid kids our children from a young age and so uh you know we've got to help them but it's hard you know and they can wear you down and the good the best of our intention sometimes just break down and so let's

be honest you know you end up giving in just to try to stop the crying and you know you trying to save that one nerve you have left because you carry a lot of other responsibilities but it's their whole world right now they're going to put every every ounce of energy all their focus and emotion is all they're in for good you're still trying to live life carry every other responsibility and still kind of Contin with this unrelenting Force but we've given in and we've just done whatever it was because we had to see some things kind of resolved at least for the time and so what what happened we had good intentions we plan not to give into our child's will but because of that constant Cry of their request their determination that they had I'll never forget Mason our son son older son he on the way to church one time he he just couldn't stand to be in a car seat Don't Fence Me In and it was a battle every time we went somewhere we had to stop on the way to church a couple of times and just get out of the car and take a break from the noise machine back there you thought he was dying screaming bloody murder and Lord have Mery how long can you take that as a parent to your heart just melts in your lap and so we had to just get out and stop in the shopping center breathe and take a little audio break break from the noise Mach it just gets gets there after a while and anyway but we we've seen these things in our own families and you know it it's just that that desire they have that determination they get focused and locked in on something you know and and so they're going to try to get whatever they can get out of it I'm I'm going to get whatever it is I want and and so your child got four cookies instead of two you remember that time H you know Morgan ate highe in high ice cream was her way of saying ice cream hyping at midnight you know when she was supposed to be in the bed we walked out of too many stores with toys and gadgets and things that just really a few minutes later she didn't want anyway and we we got to kind of get sidetracked to do that for her to just get her to be quiet and not cry going out of the store and so all those things that we've done and you didn't have any intention of buying those things and you know it just it's a hard thing because because beyond the fact that we had clearly communicated that we were not going to get it at the very beginning somehow that just that stand broke down and we're not going to give it to you we're absolutely not going to buy that no not today but then we did and so she got what she's crying for not just children husbands and wives oh my oh it's easy when it's the kids you know and our children growing up but wow husbands and wives you know U just you said I don't really think that's a good idea I don't agree well okay whatever you think after a while you just get worn down and it's that Dynamic that's in play in our relationships and we see it so much and uh what really happened with our sweet Morgan what really happens in our lives well you know what we do is we learn that we don't have to take no for an answer we don't have to listen to the answer the first time we can ask again and see if it ever if it's going to change and that's what she did she learned she didn't have to take no for an answer you know just saying no is not the challenge for parents there's no one and done in this thing in fact a parent can say no quite often but still a child can learn it may take five times it may take 50 times and some of them are up for the the the duration and they might say it'll take 500 times but all it takes they learn is just one more time than the last no and other words they learn to not take no for an answer good luck young parents Brother Sam sister Lauren are getting ready to get involved in that Joy uh and grandparents Alik but hey there's an alert to to all the parents now grandparents they've all moved on from those battles they've let all that go they decided just it's easier to let them have what they want H I recommend a good parent detox formula be used before they return back your children just heads up on that so today the fact really is that we as families have experienced this Dynamic to some degree because it's just a part of our human makeup and our human relationships and experiences but you know what in the same way we see a spiritual application here in our scripture text in our relationship with God in our scripture text we find Jesus telling the story of a widow woman who was seeking a judge to avenge her of her adversary but the judge wasn't in the mood to help and he refused however the Bible said she didn't give up she didn't stop asking in fact she wouldn't stop is what the scripture said she continually came to him with her cause she just wouldn't give up she just refused to take no as her final answer you know the story is introduced in verse one the scripture says and he spake a parable unto them to this end what he did is he said that the point of the parable was about men that they would pray always and not stop praying that's what he said he spake a parable unto them to this end that men ought always to pray and not to faint why would God manifest It In the Flesh take the time to tell us this Parable and to tell us the reason for it I believe because it's God it's his desire to do something big on our behalf it's going to take a little more time to get the resources in the right place you you know God doesn't just always Trump everybody's life and situation and move everything in the world around just for you or for me we kind of learn that don't we sometimes things have to be worked together for the good sometimes there's there's a lot more involved because it's a much bigger plan that God has it's something much better than maybe what we had looked for in the beginning we might as well go ahead and say it today this woman had an adversary that had stolen from her that had caused her harm and she needed somebody to come on her behalf and to stand in on her and to restore what was hers she needed God to bring Restoration in her life but even more than that she needed a God that could come along a judge that could step into her world and do something even greater than that not just fix the problem but disable the problem maker see God's got a plan for our lives sometimes we want him to work and do things and we don't understand why it's been so long but if you'll just hold on there's a God who will show up and he will help with the issue and he will restore and he will turn things for our good but in the same way God's going to work in such a way that he's going to do better than what we thought he's going to do better than what we imagined he's going to do far beyond that and he's going to surprise us by disabling our enemy by distracting him amen and taking amen his power out of our life amen do you believe that lift your hands with me Lord we love you today thank you that you're Lord doing that work today Hallelujah hallelujah thank you Lord thank you Lord you see this we we find some things here and so God told us these things in his word and he wants to destroy the work of the adversary and he wants to work on our H be on our behalf in a big way and he needs his church to rise up he needs his people to rise up he needs saints of God that will pray and continue to pray and not just pray but pray big prayers wow what a what a experience today to to read and to be able to together confess the big prayers $3.5 million that's a big prayer I know there are many other things that you're Desiring is a part of the the engine that's moving this church to its Destiny and to its future and the bigger plan and vision that God's going to fulfill for you we know that but you you you can have a a big I guess shell of something anywhere but if you don't have the engine inside to move it it's not really going to help you a whole lot but I see an engine that's in that's at work today in the church here in Cornerstone Apostolic church that's preparing itself to move to that bigger place that God has for you and the vision's much greater but God's working in the meantime this isn't just biting time this isn't just wasting time you're right on time with God he's working just as real and Powerful right now as he will ever in the future amen God is at work and he's honoring faith today amen praise God and so God wants to take us to the next level God wants to destroy the work of the adversary God wants to work on our behalf in a bigger way than what we thought remember Jesus said in Mark chapter 9 and verse 29 this kind can come forth by nothing but by prayer and fasting there's just some things you won't reach in God there's just some level you won't go to without establishing and keeping the foundation of prayer amen and then adding fasting with it at times when those calls come to the church to fast and to pray this is when when Jesus was speaking here in Mark chapter 9 and verse 29 this is when the disciples were in a spiritual battle something they couldn't overcome there was a spiritual force that they couldn't deal with and what were they going to do at this point nothing was happening should we give up now should we stop there should we just take no as an answer our ministry has gone as far as it can go you know there there there's bigger barriers that we're just not going to conquer as we move forward in our faith and so we might as well just take no

for an answer no they didn't do that they didn't do that when we're in our spiritual battles we understand we wrestle not with flesh and blood but against principalities and powers and against the rulers of the darkness Ness of this world against spiritual wickedness in high places and that's why we've got to be a Praying people that's why we got to be a Praying church we can't give up we can't let go of prayer if you don't have a a prayer life that's the most important thing you could focus on right now and going into 2025 is to learn how to pray to learn how to pray it was so important Jesus Took the time and said here's a here's a parable about prayer and then he tells the story that they did she did not give up she kept on praying she kept on crying out she kept on reaching out toward heaven for her answer and God uses prayer it's the engine that moves the church to where it needs to go amen When the Saints begin to pray for the Lord to have his way there's a glory and a power that comes and God works in the way only he can do we we come to a place as a church every once in a while where there's a clash of Wills there's a clash of wheels that are going on in our world isn't there the Heaven's will thy kingdom come thy will be done on Earth as it is in heaven and then it's hell's wheel that's pushing back what are we going to do Jesus said in other words this kind comes out by by prayer and fasting you don't have to take no for an answer you can come back to the Lord in prayer the church can come back together and pray as I've heard you've done and God's opened new doors there's a Just J we can't ever forget it that sits on his throne and he's ready to rule in our favor he's ready to turn things for the good Jesus said I'm bringing charges now he begins to respond to those disciples and what they couldn't do he said well you came to the right place I can help you with that and Jesus Christ himself let them know I'm going to bring charges now I'm going to step in with judgment verse 25 of that same chapter n he said thou deaf and dumb spirit I charge thee H who's making the charges now aren't you thankful there's a savior that will step into the scene and come alongside us and show up when we're facing things that are bigger than us that we can't handle on our own why don't you thank the Lord today that he's on your side that he's ready to move he's ready to make judgment against your adversary whatever's been hindering whatever's been holding things up he's come to speak his own word today against our adversaries he said come out of him and enter no more into him he couldn't speak for himself isn't that him interesting in the story deaf and dumb he couldn't advocate for himself he couldn't cry and make his own appeal but thank God he ran into some disciples and they maybe weren't at their aame spiritually but they knew how to go to the Lord in prayer in a sense that's what they did they went to Jesus and told him all about it h and they released and opened a door that wouldn't have been opened if they wouldn't have done it you just keep doing what you're doing sometimes we don't have all the answers but we just go keep going to the Lord and say help me God show us the way lead us if you'll acknowledge Him in all your ways the scripture promises he will direct your steps there's nothing that's going to hold us back God's going to make a way through all the impossible situations lift your hands and believe him for it lift your hands and believe him for it today Jesus is here to move for us hallelujah hallelujah no wonder Jesus told us the story about men ought always to pray and not faint Cornerstone Apostolic Church 2024's closing 2025 is coming oh brothers and sisters I can't emphasize it enough we need to pray and not stop praying God's people everywhere we're at a time in this world where we need to continue to pray pray and pray some more keep praying whether the answer comes or whether the answer doesn't whether it comes the first time I pray are am I going to keep praying if it's going to be the 50th time am I going to keep praying if it's going to be the 500th time am I going to keep why don't we just go ahead and let the little strong willed child out to play in a sense in the Holy Ghost and say why don't you just get a determination and lock into some and say it doesn't matter how long it takes I I know who my answer is I know where my help comes from nobody else has the answer when life says you're addicted you're an addict there's a no for you you're not going to go beyond that you're not going to live a life beyond addiction life said no with addiction but you said wait a minute I heard a word that said in Jesus Christ he's unlocked the yes he's unlock the yes for us he said in me you can have it all you can be free from addiction you can have have your yes today if you're in this house no matter what's going on or what's taking a hold of you would adversar has come along and seemly imprisoned you in a world that you don't have the power to break free from Jesus can break you out today he can speak a word and it can all be turned for the good why don't you wave your hands and thank him for what's in your heart right now oh God you're placing Something in My Heart right now to believe you oh it's the word of faith what we preach it's what God God stirring in your heart right now that he's wanting to do it's the answer that's been delayed it's the answer that you've been praying for for a long time but just be reminded in Jesus Christ we have a yes today in him it's yes there's no backing up you know God didn't get up this morning and have a bad day and say well he's not like the unjust judge he said I'm not in the mood to deal with this today aren't you glad God's Not Like Us oh Lord have mercy I'm so glad I know him I'm so glad I found out he's faithful I'm so glad I can depend on him and know he's true that's the foundation of our faith that know God will never change he's going to be there and be faithful through it all and he will help us if we'll let him he will help us if we'll believe if we'll reach out if we'll keep praying we'll find our way through because he will make a way through every situation Hallelujah when we keep ourselves on that Foundation you know that was one of the the keys of the early church is that in verse 42 of chapter 2 it says and they continued after the outpouring of the Holy Ghost and Peter preached the message on the day of Pentecost there standing up with the 11 in verse 38 repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost you're going to be born again of the water and spirit everything's going to change for you we've got a message we're preaching the gospel the death burial and Resurrection repentance water baptism and receiving

the power of Resurrection through the infilling of the Holy Ghost speaking in other tongues as the spirit of God gives the entrance aren't you glad you're in a Spirit-filled church a spirit powered Church Hallelujah a Praying church that's praying with power in the Holy Ghost you're going to go into that Destiny you're going to go into that future Hallelujah because the engine's turning the engine's at work today Hallelujah the power is is here today amen amen and the Bible says just notice with me and they continued in the apostles Doctrine in Fellowship in Breaking of bread and in prayers s you got to notice those little nuances in Scripture it didn't say in prayer no it said in prayers plural cuz the continuation of praying and God's people and Saints praying we're going to one of the keys not just for the early church but for the latterday church and that Latter Day church that's on point walking in the power and the anointing of the holy ghost seeing him break the chains that bind and see Sinners forgiven and lives change and sins remitted and being filled with the power of the Holy Ghost and the outpourings and the Miracles signs and wonders that follow them that believe it's going to be those that continue in prayers in prayers it's it's not hard we just talk to God it's the simple thing and I know we talk about it all the time and we think maybe sometimes think about it it just becomes Elementary but it is such a vital component it's such a vital part of who we are when we walk with God it's our relationship with him and for the church it's the way God works through us he said a long ago if my people called by my name will humble themselves and pray turn from their Wicked Ways you'll hear from heaven and I'll Heal Your Land what what he's saying there is when Heaven hears the Earth heals When Heaven hears the Earth heals don't ever forget your prayers are powerful they're meaningful they're purposeful I hope you go out of this service today praying more than you've ever prayed you can't even get to your car with something coming to your mind think well I could pray about that oh if this is there's some yeses that God has for me why would I stop and leave all my prayers at church why wouldn't I take them with me why don't I take them to my home why don't I take them to my family member why don't I take it to my job why don't I take it to my neighbor's house H you can go there first in prayer God I didn't think about that but if there's a yes there my neighbors been struggling they've been through two failed relationships they've got children there there's a big need there God maybe I need to start praying for them I never thought about I thought about reaching them I've thought about how we could you know bring them and find they could find the Hope in you but sometimes we just step over that that little simple part of hey prayer prayer makes a way prayer opens doors prayer works for us there's an engine that will take us amen and God will work but sometimes we forget to just pray about it we forget of all the yeses that we have in Jesus Christ amen that there's no limit to what God can do back to the text it says quickly here in verse two saying here's what the end of the purpose of this Parable was about praying and not fainting not quitting don't stop saying there was in the city a judge which feared not God neither regarded man this this judge that set up in this story he didn't really have a lot of morals didn't have a lot of religion or spirituality said he didn't really care about God didn't fear God and he really didn't care about anybody else he didn't care what anybody's opinion was of him he was just kind of his his own his own person I guess you'd say regarded not man neither feared God so you can you could probably understand there wasn't going to be anybody make him do what he didn't want to do he wasn't going to be pressured by the politics of the day or anything coming under the table he if he didn't feel like doing it he wasn't going to do it he didn't care who you were what your position was and it said that he would not he would not move on her behalf he would not judge righteously for her said he would not for a while for a while but then the afterward came and he said something within himself he said though I fear not God neither regard man I don't really care about anybody's opinion but just because of this one fact this Widow is wearing me out she's like a strong willed child says I'm going to have what I'm asking to have I'm going to have the promise that I heard about I'm going to receive the gift of the Holy Ghost and I'm not going to stop seeking for it till I do I'm going to be healed and I'm going to stop praying for it until I receive my healing because every promise in him is yay and amen I don't know what was going on with this widow woman but there's a good chance that she knew what the Old Testament had said that you better not mistreat the widows oh that David said oh that there would be a just man that would come up and stand against the unjust and their ways you know in the Old Testament it said you you got to take care of the widows uh you're going to defend the widows you're going to stand up against anybody that would mistreat the widows I just believe somehow this woman had heard a word somewhere maybe she was in the temple and they were talking about their duties to fellow man and don't mistreat the widows and feed the the hungry and all those things and she got a hold of that promise that was preached in the temple that day and said hey that's for the widows that's me I've got an adversary I've been mistreated I've been I've been just wrestled around by life and I've been body slammed too many times to count now spiritually and what sin has done in my life and where it has taken me and how far I've gone and she just said he there's just been too much trouble in my world but I've heard about a God who said you better not mistreat the widows that there's a judge that will judge righteously against the widows he she may have even heard the story in Genesis how that when Abraham was standing in for lot and God Sodom and Gomorrah and saying God are you going to slay the righteous with the unrighteous well we need a righteous judge God in this place that you've called you've you've you've given judgment to we we need somebody that can stand up for the innocent here and so he he appealed to God's righteousness about an unrighteous or an unjust possible situation but you know the story there wasn't so he lowered his count lowered his count and finally in that conversation Abraham says will not the judge of all the Earth Do Right Lord will not you're the you're the judge of all the Earth will you not do right he was saying you're not going to kill the unrighteous with the righteous that's not just you're a just God you will do right you'll stand up for those that need to be stood up for you'll intervene for those that need to be

intervened for and that's what this woman was doing she was coming to this judge and she was pleading our cause but the Bible says he was an unjust judge she needed something more than that but in this story it's so beautiful he says this widow's troubling me and then he goes on and said be even though I don't care about what God thinks or what other people think just because she's troubling me just because she won't give up just because she's got a promise that she won't let go of I will avenge her and he goes on with his own kind of self-absorbed explanations lest by her continual coming he he said she's not stopping she's not going away give her four cookies go ahead and buy the toy come on we got we got to move on H you know he didn't have a lot going for him but he just knew he didn't want to be bothered with her anymore I feel like we need to stand to our feet right now and just say Lord whatever needs to happen here you can do it you know you're the just judge and Jesus said hear what the unjust judge said because if you can hear what he says oh that's just ah you're just barely scratching the surface with that he said if the unjust judge will do it just because he's irritated and bothered oh how much more will God not step out and step in to our world and make a judgment on our behalf aren't you thankful for that today and he'll do it in an instant he'll move speedily on our behalf Hallelujah he said God will do it they cry day which cry day and night they those are the praying people that he's looking for he wants to make a judgment today he's ready to make a charge charge against our enemy Hallelujah he's ready today he's hearing our prayers we're crying he said though he bear long with them just remember because he hasn't answered doesn't mean he's not going to Daniel his story tells us God heard him the first time he prayed but he said there's a vision that's so big right here I heard you the first time you prayed but it's going to take a few days in between for me to get things in the right place and everybody in the right position and all the res ources kind of put worked out in all those areas and people and all those that are involved you it takes a little time sometime to work through our world God doesn't just Trump all that and God will honor that and so just like with Daniel said I heard you your prayer's already been logged in what prayer have maybe we left at the altar what If Daniel would have said well God's not going to answer it's day seven it's it's day two I went to church and prayed it's day one and nothing happened what If Daniel would have given up before the 21 days and one of the archangels shows up with a message you talk about power and authority coming into our world and making judgments on our behalf and giving us the vision and the Fulfillment oh Hallelujah why don't you lift your hands right now let's let God work there's something big that's going on here today just kept hearing that in the Holy Ghost there's something big for your life today there's something big for this church that's going on Hallelujah you can feel it in the atmosphere today and there's a God that's more than willing and more a than able to do it hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah and he's promised I will avenge them speedily I will avenge them speedily it's a great story ah we can worship and thank God he's our righteous judge and he's going to come through through for us he's going to push our enemies back he's going to make a way and that all happens for other people other places and you know other circumstances but not in my world and so he he kind of summarizes his story up this way he says nevertheless when the son of man cometh shall he find faith on the earth so he's starting to time together the praying and not stop stop praying the continuing to ask to continue to push our way through in prayer is directly connected to our faith what we are willing to believe God for God is big enough to deliver he said it's going to be about faith when you get to the bottom line will he find faith and that's what the story tells us her faith never died she would not give up I know today we're going to be with a people gathered around the throne in heaven and the scripture says that we're going to be a part of those that overcame the adversary and the adversary is going to be done dealt with once and for all you know what Revelation says Bible calls the adversary the devil Roy lion he's going to be dealt with once and for all time our righteous judge is going to stand for us one day we've got a hope to hold on to the Bible says those that get there and celebrate when he does make that charge are those that overcome by the blood of the lamb and what the word of their testimony that's a part of our praying that's a part of what we do when we cry out to God you've got the ability to send a prayer Halle they're in bottles vials you know what the Bible tells us every prayer is being kept every prayer connects to heaven today why don't you come to this altar this morning you've got enough Faith to see God move on your life you've got enough Faith right now I
