1
00:00:00,010 --> 00:00:02,650
He was a very dear old gentleman to

2
00:00:02,650 --> 00:00:02,930
me.

3
00:00:03,770 --> 00:00:05,710
He was an elder in the church where

4
00:00:05,710 --> 00:00:06,150
I was.

5
00:00:07,970 --> 00:00:12,540
And he used to say, if God don't

6
00:00:12,540 --> 00:00:15,360
hear my cries, he hears my tears.

7
00:00:21,700 --> 00:00:22,340
Amen.

8
00:00:23,780 --> 00:00:25,860
He hears my tears, he said.

9
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:28,880
Blessed be the name of our Lord.

10
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,860
There are things that speak louder than words,

11
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:33,180
beloved.

12
00:00:36,510 --> 00:00:38,730
And that's what the Lord really wants.

13
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:44,840
Someone that knows, someone that gets hold of

14
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:45,280
God.

15
00:00:45,480 --> 00:00:48,000
There is a love that will never let

16
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:48,420
you go.

17
00:00:50,500 --> 00:00:50,980
Amen.

18
00:00:51,420 --> 00:00:55,060
It's blessed when by the Spirit it is

19
00:00:55,060 --> 00:00:57,700
shed abroad in the hearts of men and

20
00:00:57,700 --> 00:00:58,000
women.

21
00:00:59,580 --> 00:01:02,880
Glory be to the name of the Lord.

22
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,500
And never will let go.

23
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:09,040
Amen.

24
00:01:09,780 --> 00:01:10,360
Never.

25
00:01:12,780 --> 00:01:17,740
Samuel said to the rebellious soul, he said,

26
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,740
God forbid that I should sin against thee

27
00:01:20,740 --> 00:01:24,100
in ceasing to pray for thee.

28
00:01:24,100 --> 00:01:27,340
That's what he said to the rebellious soul.

29
00:01:27,580 --> 00:01:31,580
God forbid that I should sin against thee

30
00:01:31,580 --> 00:01:34,440
in ceasing to pray for thee.

31
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,860
Have you ever thought that prayerlessness can be

32
00:01:38,860 --> 00:01:39,260
sin?

33
00:01:42,990 --> 00:01:43,750
Amen.

34
00:01:47,780 --> 00:01:49,920
There are sins that are far more subtle

35
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,360
than the ugly, blatant, outward things.

36
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:59,120
God wants us to understand and move in

37
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,820
that great realm of life and power.

38
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,300
Oh, what a wonderful thing it is.

39
00:02:07,539 --> 00:02:10,420
And here is the great privilege that God

40
00:02:10,420 --> 00:02:11,760
grants his people.

41
00:02:13,620 --> 00:02:17,760
And through Jesus Christ we come in and

42
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,880
we really get hold of God.

43
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,080
Turn with me for a moment or two

44
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,400
to John's Gospel.

45
00:02:33,020 --> 00:02:37,120
Just a little of the true prayer life

46
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,120
that God wants us to live, beloved, in

47
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:41,580
John chapter 16.

48
00:02:53,570 --> 00:02:55,790
He's talking to his disciples.

49
00:02:56,710 --> 00:02:59,070
The cross is just ahead.

50
00:03:00,490 --> 00:03:03,550
He's shortly going to pray the prayer of

51
00:03:03,550 --> 00:03:08,390
his life on the way to the garden

52
00:03:08,390 --> 00:03:13,810
of betrayal and the court of injustice.

53
00:03:15,530 --> 00:03:18,970
And the cross of death.

54
00:03:20,470 --> 00:03:23,890
And he gathers his disciples around him and

55
00:03:23,890 --> 00:03:24,470
they're moving.

56
00:03:25,750 --> 00:03:28,590
And in verse 19 Jesus knew that they

57
00:03:28,590 --> 00:03:32,190
were desirous to ask him and said unto

58
00:03:32,190 --> 00:03:37,270
them, Do ye inquire among yourselves that I

59
00:03:37,270 --> 00:03:41,730
said a little while and ye shall not

60
00:03:41,730 --> 00:03:45,070
see me, and again a little while and

61
00:03:45,070 --> 00:03:46,870
ye shall see me?

62
00:03:48,110 --> 00:03:52,350
Verily, verily I say unto you that you

63
00:03:52,350 --> 00:03:57,490
shall weep and lament, but the world shall

64
00:03:57,490 --> 00:03:58,290
rejoice.

65
00:03:59,790 --> 00:04:06,250
And ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow

66
00:04:06,250 --> 00:04:09,670
shall be turned into joy.

67
00:04:10,390 --> 00:04:14,890
It's a marvelous thing that Jesus can turn

68
00:04:14,890 --> 00:04:17,350
sorrow into joy.

69
00:04:17,730 --> 00:04:19,570
Has he ever done it for you?

70
00:04:20,769 --> 00:04:24,030
Turn sorrow into joy.

71
00:04:25,730 --> 00:04:29,050
No psychiatrist has ever discovered that secret has

72
00:04:29,050 --> 00:04:29,170
he?

73
00:04:30,490 --> 00:04:33,370
No scientist has ever got there has he?

74
00:04:37,490 --> 00:04:39,930
Politics can't reach that can they?

75
00:04:42,010 --> 00:04:44,230
Money can't do that can it?

76
00:04:46,210 --> 00:04:48,370
Armies can't do any of that can they?

77
00:04:48,370 --> 00:04:54,210
Navies and air forces and kings and queens

78
00:04:54,210 --> 00:04:57,650
and statesmen can't do anything about that can

79
00:04:57,650 --> 00:04:57,870
they?

80
00:04:59,490 --> 00:05:02,230
I turn sorrow into joy.

81
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:05,300
Glory to God.

82
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,240
Did you ever know anyone like Jesus?

83
00:05:09,660 --> 00:05:11,460
Did you ever hear of anyone like him?

84
00:05:16,450 --> 00:05:17,030
Amen.

85
00:05:18,510 --> 00:05:21,390
We have a way of turning joy into

86
00:05:21,390 --> 00:05:21,830
sorrow.

87
00:05:22,910 --> 00:05:24,750
You've done it many a time for people

88
00:05:24,750 --> 00:05:25,770
haven't you?

89
00:05:28,380 --> 00:05:29,200
Haven't you?

90
00:05:29,420 --> 00:05:30,160
Be honest.

91
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:33,780
Shattered them.

92
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,120
Let's read the next verse.

93
00:05:37,180 --> 00:05:40,720
A woman, when she is in travail, hath

94
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,420
sorrow, because her hour is come.

95
00:05:44,420 --> 00:05:47,880
But as soon as she is delivered of

96
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,580
the child, she remembereth no more the anguish

97
00:05:51,580 --> 00:05:55,000
for joy that a man is born into

98
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:55,580
the world.

99
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:56,500
Amen.

100
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:01,860
And you now, therefore, has sorrow, but I

101
00:06:01,860 --> 00:06:05,260
will see you again, and your heart shall

102
00:06:05,260 --> 00:06:10,200
rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from

103
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:10,320
you.

104
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:11,660
Whatever is he talking about?

105
00:06:12,840 --> 00:06:14,260
The resurrection.

106
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:17,380
That's what he's talking about.

107
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,640
That's the thing that turns sorrow into joy.

108
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:23,160
The resurrection.

109
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:24,880
Hallelujah.

110
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,640
I'll see you again.

111
00:06:30,100 --> 00:06:32,460
Blessed be the name of the Lord.

112
00:06:32,840 --> 00:06:33,920
Isn't this glorious?

113
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,160
Let's go on shall we?

114
00:06:39,220 --> 00:06:45,360
And in that day, when you've got joy

115
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:50,340
that no one can take from you, I

116
00:06:50,340 --> 00:06:52,200
want to tell you a story about this.

117
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,800
It's this kind of evening tonight.

118
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:00,960
I know a young man.

119
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,120
He lived over in the southeast corner of

120
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,280
England, where I used to live there a

121
00:07:07,280 --> 00:07:08,540
long time ago now.

122
00:07:11,420 --> 00:07:14,840
And I got to know him because a

123
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,680
nephew of mine was friendly with him.

124
00:07:18,620 --> 00:07:21,620
And this nephew of mine came to know

125
00:07:21,620 --> 00:07:23,780
the Lord, and he started to talk to

126
00:07:23,780 --> 00:07:24,620
his pal.

127
00:07:26,180 --> 00:07:28,520
And he so talked to him that this

128
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:32,840
boy, who it appears was just about waiting,

129
00:07:33,700 --> 00:07:36,400
he must have had a heart that was

130
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,180
ready to receive the seed.

131
00:07:39,020 --> 00:07:42,420
You never know these people you've been with.

132
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,200
You don't know what's really going on behind

133
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,140
the facade of all the things that they

134
00:07:48,140 --> 00:07:48,740
put on.

135
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:49,780
You don't know.

136
00:07:50,540 --> 00:07:53,840
Anyway, this nephew of mine spoke to this

137
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:55,160
boy, his friend.

138
00:07:57,260 --> 00:08:01,760
And this young fellow, he was pushing a

139
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:02,840
cycle along the road.

140
00:08:03,500 --> 00:08:06,180
He leaned in over on the hedge, and

141
00:08:06,180 --> 00:08:09,360
he knelt down there in the road, and

142
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,160
he received Jesus into his heart.

143
00:08:13,660 --> 00:08:15,520
Well, you know what happened.

144
00:08:15,660 --> 00:08:17,580
Those of you who know that when people

145
00:08:17,580 --> 00:08:19,620
really mean it like that, they don't care

146
00:08:19,620 --> 00:08:23,460
who knows or who cares or what people

147
00:08:23,460 --> 00:08:23,940
think.

148
00:08:24,060 --> 00:08:26,340
They don't mind their best trousers and kneel

149
00:08:26,340 --> 00:08:28,840
down what happens, and they kneel down in

150
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:29,260
the road.

151
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,000
It's very rare, very rare.

152
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:35,340
You know what happens, don't you?

153
00:08:35,340 --> 00:08:41,480
He was so changed, immediately, absolutely transformed.

154
00:08:42,340 --> 00:08:45,120
His mother and father thought he'd gone absolutely

155
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:46,100
round the bin.

156
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,260
He went out one way and came in

157
00:08:51,260 --> 00:08:51,600
another.

158
00:08:52,340 --> 00:08:54,740
He went out one kind of boy and

159
00:08:54,740 --> 00:08:55,980
came in another boy.

160
00:08:56,380 --> 00:08:58,800
Absolutely radically changed.

161
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,600
He didn't have a Bible, but he had

162
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:03,620
one given to him.

163
00:09:03,620 --> 00:09:06,240
He spent his days, he was working on

164
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:07,620
a farm at this time.

165
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,940
He worked amongst the, you know, he was

166
00:09:10,940 --> 00:09:11,660
the cowhand.

167
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:16,100
Sorry, pigs, swineherd, in one of these better

168
00:09:16,100 --> 00:09:16,580
classes.

169
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,900
Really, when they do it properly, you know.

170
00:09:25,680 --> 00:09:28,980
You know, where was I the other day,

171
00:09:29,060 --> 00:09:30,020
driving somewhere.

172
00:09:30,020 --> 00:09:31,460
You know, I drive all over the place,

173
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:33,380
some people, people usually drive me.

174
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:35,820
And we passed...

175
00:09:41,540 --> 00:09:43,180
I didn't say round the bin.

176
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:48,840
And I, we came to a bend in

177
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:49,380
the road.

178
00:09:53,860 --> 00:09:56,040
And as we turned, we had to slow

179
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:56,540
to turn.

180
00:09:56,540 --> 00:10:02,820
And I read over and it said, a

181
00:10:02,820 --> 00:10:03,380
mootel.

182
00:10:03,660 --> 00:10:04,380
I thought, what is this?

183
00:10:07,700 --> 00:10:10,660
What a highfalutin name for a cowshed.

184
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,080
Better class cows.

185
00:10:17,500 --> 00:10:19,220
Somebody, a mootel.

186
00:10:19,300 --> 00:10:20,760
I tell you, I see things when I

187
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:21,180
go round.

188
00:10:23,500 --> 00:10:25,200
I couldn't tell you what cowshed.

189
00:10:25,220 --> 00:10:26,600
I thought it must have been Devon.

190
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:33,960
No, I think it was in Gloucestershire.

191
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:36,760
No, but...

192
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:43,660
Praise God, this boy, he went home, and

193
00:10:43,660 --> 00:10:44,940
he got a Bible and he started to

194
00:10:44,940 --> 00:10:45,300
read it.

195
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,560
His mother came in the room, snatched it

196
00:10:49,560 --> 00:10:50,160
out of his hand.

197
00:10:53,470 --> 00:10:54,450
Raved at him.

198
00:10:55,670 --> 00:10:56,550
Tore it up.

199
00:10:57,350 --> 00:10:58,290
So he went and got another one.

200
00:11:01,810 --> 00:11:03,650
Sat down, started to read it.

201
00:11:05,450 --> 00:11:07,510
His mother raged at him.

202
00:11:08,350 --> 00:11:09,610
Snatched it away from him.

203
00:11:10,410 --> 00:11:11,450
He never resisted her.

204
00:11:13,270 --> 00:11:13,910
Burned it.

205
00:11:16,390 --> 00:11:17,890
When he got another one, she said, You're

206
00:11:17,890 --> 00:11:20,170
not coming here, reading that in our house.

207
00:11:20,510 --> 00:11:21,350
Not having it.

208
00:11:22,230 --> 00:11:23,850
This Jesus business.

209
00:11:25,350 --> 00:11:28,610
The rage at Jesus in people's hearts.

210
00:11:29,510 --> 00:11:30,830
They won't have it.

211
00:11:31,990 --> 00:11:34,090
You talk about God, that's not too bad.

212
00:11:34,170 --> 00:11:36,370
But when you start talking about Jesus, that

213
00:11:36,370 --> 00:11:36,790
does it.

214
00:11:39,150 --> 00:11:39,730
Yeah.

215
00:11:40,510 --> 00:11:42,850
They don't mind you talking about God.

216
00:11:43,750 --> 00:11:46,550
But that name seems to do it.

217
00:11:46,550 --> 00:11:47,730
Oh, I don't know.

218
00:11:48,990 --> 00:11:50,230
It really is terrible.

219
00:11:50,650 --> 00:11:51,390
Well, anyway.

220
00:11:56,730 --> 00:11:58,810
She said, You're not going to have it.

221
00:12:01,770 --> 00:12:03,730
So, he put it in his pocket.

222
00:12:04,730 --> 00:12:06,210
And she searched his jacket when he went

223
00:12:06,210 --> 00:12:06,630
inside.

224
00:12:06,830 --> 00:12:07,990
And she destroyed it.

225
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:12,860
And he got another one.

226
00:12:12,860 --> 00:12:13,880
Very good.

227
00:12:15,420 --> 00:12:15,880
Ah.

228
00:12:16,820 --> 00:12:19,000
The heart that was hungry for God.

229
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,100
And she called him in his bedroom.

230
00:12:23,820 --> 00:12:25,220
Reading it on his knees.

231
00:12:25,620 --> 00:12:27,220
She pulled over him by the hair and

232
00:12:27,220 --> 00:12:28,540
pulled him off his feet.

233
00:12:29,340 --> 00:12:30,660
Pulled him round her room.

234
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:31,820
Cursed him.

235
00:12:36,820 --> 00:12:38,980
Well, he just went through.

236
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,220
He never complained.

237
00:12:41,220 --> 00:12:43,700
He used to say, Pray for my mum,

238
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:44,160
will you?

239
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:47,520
Never argued.

240
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:48,940
Never answered back.

241
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:50,300
He got something genuine.

242
00:12:51,680 --> 00:12:52,840
He got it real.

243
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,440
People got enough to make them argumentative.

244
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,280
You know, like some people when they drink

245
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:00,640
beer.

246
00:13:00,780 --> 00:13:02,440
They drink enough to get argumentative.

247
00:13:05,750 --> 00:13:06,410
You see.

248
00:13:07,970 --> 00:13:08,930
Went through.

249
00:13:10,190 --> 00:13:12,330
And so, this time he got a Bible.

250
00:13:13,270 --> 00:13:16,050
And he hid it in the pig shed.

251
00:13:17,850 --> 00:13:19,450
And he used to go out and have

252
00:13:19,450 --> 00:13:21,750
his quiet time with the stinking pigs.

253
00:13:23,190 --> 00:13:24,130
With God.

254
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:28,760
That's right.

255
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:30,400
And he prayed.

256
00:13:31,500 --> 00:13:32,880
And he abode.

257
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,120
And God broke through in that home.

258
00:13:37,820 --> 00:13:38,420
Beloved.

259
00:13:39,290 --> 00:13:41,560
Because he was faithful.

260
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:43,360
You see.

261
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:47,280
It's so wonderful, beloved, when God does this.

262
00:13:48,340 --> 00:13:50,640
And I want to encourage you people.

263
00:13:51,780 --> 00:13:53,420
You believe God.

264
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,600
You get hold of God.

265
00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,320
If you've got the heart of a chicken

266
00:13:59,320 --> 00:13:59,860
in you.

267
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,300
Change it for the heart of the lamb.

268
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,120
Be, be strong.

269
00:14:09,580 --> 00:14:11,680
Stand up to it.

270
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,040
Don't run away.

271
00:14:15,700 --> 00:14:17,420
Stay with it.

272
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:21,000
Amen.

273
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,060
Glory be to God.

274
00:14:25,020 --> 00:14:27,140
God can do something.

275
00:14:28,140 --> 00:14:31,120
I know that there are circumstances when you

276
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,160
just have to get out.

277
00:14:33,540 --> 00:14:34,540
We know that.

278
00:14:34,660 --> 00:14:37,620
But normally speaking, stay with it.

279
00:14:38,620 --> 00:14:42,340
And let the Lord work his work.

280
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:44,280
Your joy.

281
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,080
Nobody takes from you.

282
00:14:47,940 --> 00:14:49,000
Verse 22.

283
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:53,440
This boy just overflowed with joy.

284
00:14:54,540 --> 00:14:55,160
Glory.

285
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:57,380
And it's absolutely true.

286
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,220
When you're joyful, you're strong.

287
00:15:02,540 --> 00:15:05,400
When you're joyful, you're strong.

288
00:15:06,860 --> 00:15:10,680
The weak person is a person without joy

289
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:11,600
every time.

290
00:15:14,700 --> 00:15:16,080
It's the joy.

291
00:15:16,820 --> 00:15:17,400
Hallelujah.

292
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,360
Joy means that you've really got it sufficiently

293
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:22,620
to be enjoying it.

294
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:24,460
That's right.

295
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,380
It's moved you into reality.

296
00:15:27,740 --> 00:15:29,420
It's done something for you.

297
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,800
And God, he gives this thing.

298
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,140
And you know that there's nothing so infectious

299
00:15:37,140 --> 00:15:37,860
as joy.

300
00:15:39,420 --> 00:15:40,720
You try it.

301
00:15:40,860 --> 00:15:41,840
Everybody's miserable.

302
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,460
The infectious thing is joy.

303
00:15:47,780 --> 00:15:48,640
Isn't it?

304
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,000
Yes, it's glory, isn't it?

305
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:53,620
All right, let's go on.

306
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,000
And in that day, verse 23.

307
00:15:56,980 --> 00:16:00,680
He says, you shall ask me nothing.

308
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:11,040
Verily, verily, I say unto you, whatsoever ye

309
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:17,280
shall ask the Father in my name, he

310
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,000
will give it to you.

311
00:16:21,380 --> 00:16:22,060
Amen.

312
00:16:23,700 --> 00:16:25,640
My word.

313
00:16:26,940 --> 00:16:29,000
Do you really believe that?

314
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,320
Do you really believe that?

315
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:36,060
Glory be to God.

316
00:16:37,780 --> 00:16:38,640
Let's go on.

317
00:16:40,380 --> 00:16:45,680
Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name.

318
00:16:49,140 --> 00:16:49,400
See?

319
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:51,760
They used to come and ask in their

320
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:52,640
own name.

321
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,360
They said, come and heal my daughter, please.

322
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,420
Come and make my mother better, please.

323
00:17:00,020 --> 00:17:01,360
Come and do this.

324
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:03,420
They didn't.

325
00:17:04,460 --> 00:17:05,980
Nobody had ever asked in his name.

326
00:17:08,660 --> 00:17:10,160
He told his disciples that.

327
00:17:10,300 --> 00:17:12,420
You've never asked in my name.

328
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:14,640
How about that?

329
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:17,260
What do you think of it?

330
00:17:20,260 --> 00:17:21,960
All right, this is what he says.

331
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:23,960
Ask.

332
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:32,600
And ye shall receive that your joy may

333
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:33,520
be full.

334
00:17:38,620 --> 00:17:41,440
You ever seen a person lose what joy

335
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:42,040
they had?

336
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:43,940
It may be.

337
00:17:44,140 --> 00:17:46,220
It's because they keep on asking the Lord.

338
00:17:46,740 --> 00:17:48,320
They think they are for things they don't

339
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:48,840
get them.

340
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:51,220
You see?

341
00:17:51,220 --> 00:17:54,320
And their faith gets undermined.

342
00:17:55,620 --> 00:17:56,860
And doubts come in.

343
00:17:59,360 --> 00:17:59,820
You see?

344
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:01,860
Oh, glory.

345
00:18:02,260 --> 00:18:04,080
When we move into the place where we

346
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:05,680
ask in Jesus name.

347
00:18:06,820 --> 00:18:10,000
That is really for his sake alone.

348
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,060
That is really that he may be glorified.

349
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:16,320
Really.

350
00:18:17,360 --> 00:18:20,940
That it might be his will that's working.

351
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:22,360
Really.

352
00:18:23,780 --> 00:18:24,380
Hallelujah.

353
00:18:25,540 --> 00:18:28,220
That you know that you are asking the

354
00:18:28,220 --> 00:18:29,880
thing that Jesus would ask.

355
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:30,560
All right?

356
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:32,000
Now you've prayed tonight.

357
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:36,900
Do you really believe that you asked for

358
00:18:36,900 --> 00:18:40,080
the thing that Jesus would have asked for

359
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,720
if he'd have sat in your chair?

360
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:44,580
I'm not trying to cast a doubt in

361
00:18:44,580 --> 00:18:44,980
your mind.

362
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:46,700
But we'd better face reality.

363
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:50,180
So, of course, we know.

364
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:51,780
He wants our schools to be better.

365
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:53,160
He wants our queen to be better.

366
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:54,080
He wants our kingdom.

367
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,880
He wants horse racing gone out.

368
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,160
He wants gambling finished.

369
00:18:59,260 --> 00:18:59,900
He wants this.

370
00:18:59,960 --> 00:19:00,560
He wants that.

371
00:19:00,660 --> 00:19:01,280
He wants that.

372
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:02,120
Well, all right.

373
00:19:02,180 --> 00:19:03,140
Why doesn't he do it then?

374
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:07,360
He's had a long time to do it

375
00:19:07,360 --> 00:19:08,480
if he really wanted to.

376
00:19:09,020 --> 00:19:12,280
If his will was set to do it.

377
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:14,760
You've got to do that.

378
00:19:14,900 --> 00:19:16,880
He has said that this old world of

379
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,460
ours is going to get worse and worse

380
00:19:19,460 --> 00:19:21,640
and worse and worse.

381
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:22,800
That's what he said.

382
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:25,520
That's what he said.

383
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:27,440
Yeah.

384
00:19:27,860 --> 00:19:29,200
We're not going to pray that it gets

385
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:30,580
worse and worse and worse.

386
00:19:31,340 --> 00:19:34,520
But in the midst of it, we've got

387
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:37,500
to know what he wants in these days.

388
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:42,320
And we've got to pray for these.

389
00:19:42,620 --> 00:19:44,540
Oh, God, save all our doctors.

390
00:19:44,860 --> 00:19:45,080
Well.

391
00:19:47,260 --> 00:19:49,380
Oh, God, save all our nurses.

392
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:52,980
Oh, God, save all our politicians.

393
00:19:54,740 --> 00:19:57,140
You see, well, all those things that are

394
00:19:57,140 --> 00:19:59,400
being said to God, you'd have thought they

395
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,080
would all have been saved by now, wouldn't

396
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:01,300
you?

397
00:20:02,380 --> 00:20:06,320
Do you know the great Finney, who became

398
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:10,440
the greatest preacher, probably, that America had?

399
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:16,640
He was an unsaved, godless man.

400
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:17,700
But he was religious.

401
00:20:18,620 --> 00:20:20,480
He used to go down to the church,

402
00:20:20,980 --> 00:20:21,540
you see.

403
00:20:23,700 --> 00:20:27,100
And he was a lawyer.

404
00:20:27,100 --> 00:20:30,300
He didn't care much about this, that and

405
00:20:30,300 --> 00:20:30,540
the other.

406
00:20:30,820 --> 00:20:33,640
And everybody knew he lived a worldly, godless

407
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:35,960
life, going to church.

408
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:42,500
And one day, one of the deacons in

409
00:20:42,500 --> 00:20:46,660
the church said, Would you like us to

410
00:20:46,660 --> 00:20:48,000
pray for you now, for our meeting?

411
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:49,780
He said, No, you've never done any good

412
00:20:49,780 --> 00:20:50,100
yet.

413
00:20:52,380 --> 00:20:54,900
No, you've never accomplished anything yet.

414
00:20:54,900 --> 00:20:57,040
That's what Finney told them.

415
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,400
He saw things as bare as a pole.

416
00:21:02,060 --> 00:21:04,800
There came a day when Finney got, he

417
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:06,360
really got born again.

418
00:21:07,340 --> 00:21:09,100
Something happened to Finney.

419
00:21:10,360 --> 00:21:14,760
And God moved in that man tremendously.

420
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,840
And he wrote a series of things called,

421
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:24,300
Lectures on Revivals of Religion.

422
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:26,540
He was a great authority of them, because

423
00:21:26,540 --> 00:21:27,940
wherever he went, that's what happened.

424
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,360
And you'll read what he says about prayer.

425
00:21:32,500 --> 00:21:34,420
I advise you to buy his book.

426
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:37,660
I advise you to do it.

427
00:21:37,780 --> 00:21:40,680
It's better than reading about witchcraft to Christ,

428
00:21:40,820 --> 00:21:43,380
or all these popular novels that we're getting.

429
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,520
You don't want to soak yourself up with

430
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:49,920
these kinds of things, beloved.

431
00:21:50,100 --> 00:21:50,800
They're happening.

432
00:21:51,380 --> 00:21:53,940
Get down to something that's real.

433
00:21:58,620 --> 00:22:00,900
Get down to something that's real.

434
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,960
These are the sort of, you can't live

435
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:06,780
on waffles and things like that.

436
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:08,440
You've got to get down to meat.

437
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:10,480
Something that's solid.

438
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,660
Something that you've got to know.

439
00:22:13,660 --> 00:22:15,960
Not that we don't praise God that something

440
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:17,660
gets delivered from black magic.

441
00:22:18,140 --> 00:22:19,640
Of course we do.

442
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:21,840
But that's a sort of a bagatelle.

443
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,420
It sort of should be ordinary, happening all

444
00:22:25,420 --> 00:22:25,960
the time.

445
00:22:26,140 --> 00:22:27,200
That sort of thing should be.

446
00:22:29,120 --> 00:22:29,700
Amen.

447
00:22:30,340 --> 00:22:34,000
I've got nothing against anybody that's written, but

448
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:35,380
it's not bad.

449
00:22:35,900 --> 00:22:39,020
But this concern to get down to reality.

450
00:22:39,020 --> 00:22:42,680
How many of you have read, say, Charles

451
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,180
Finney's lectures on revivals of religion?

452
00:22:45,300 --> 00:22:46,040
How many of you?

453
00:22:46,340 --> 00:22:51,710
One, two, three, four, five.

454
00:22:52,410 --> 00:22:53,030
You see it?

455
00:22:53,430 --> 00:22:53,990
Six.

456
00:22:56,980 --> 00:22:59,180
How many of you read From Witchcraft to

457
00:22:59,180 --> 00:23:02,180
Christ, or From Something to Praise?

458
00:23:02,300 --> 00:23:03,440
This sort of popular book.

459
00:23:04,380 --> 00:23:05,160
There you are, you see.

460
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:07,140
There you are, you see.

461
00:23:08,220 --> 00:23:09,360
Speaks for itself.

462
00:23:11,540 --> 00:23:13,900
How many of you read the Bible through?

463
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:17,140
Praise God.

464
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,040
No prizes for it.

465
00:23:25,300 --> 00:23:26,360
It's your duty.

466
00:23:27,300 --> 00:23:29,060
You've done that which you ought to have

467
00:23:29,060 --> 00:23:29,360
done.

468
00:23:31,140 --> 00:23:31,460
Amen.

469
00:23:35,170 --> 00:23:36,230
Oh, beloved.

470
00:23:37,250 --> 00:23:38,150
Do mean it.

471
00:23:39,810 --> 00:23:41,210
Will you mean it?

472
00:23:42,610 --> 00:23:43,210
Listen.

473
00:23:43,730 --> 00:23:48,630
I stayed recently in a home in London.

474
00:23:50,690 --> 00:23:53,030
Now, I know after this, I mean, I've

475
00:23:53,030 --> 00:23:55,990
attacked all your favorite authors, and all your

476
00:23:55,990 --> 00:24:00,430
reading, but now I'm going to attack, I'm

477
00:24:00,430 --> 00:24:02,950
going to really attack, at least you might

478
00:24:02,950 --> 00:24:04,970
think it's an attack, on a long cherished

479
00:24:04,970 --> 00:24:06,050
belief you have.

480
00:24:08,150 --> 00:24:09,510
I said to the young man in that

481
00:24:09,510 --> 00:24:11,270
home, I said, stop reading the Bible.

482
00:24:13,430 --> 00:24:14,570
Stop reading it.

483
00:24:19,170 --> 00:24:20,650
He said, if you tell me so, I

484
00:24:20,650 --> 00:24:20,870
will.

485
00:24:21,890 --> 00:24:22,010
Yeah.

486
00:24:22,690 --> 00:24:23,630
Do you know why I told him?

487
00:24:24,250 --> 00:24:27,250
He'd set himself to read it four times

488
00:24:27,250 --> 00:24:30,110
this year, and he'd read it three times,

489
00:24:30,210 --> 00:24:32,130
on top of all his other duties.

490
00:24:32,470 --> 00:24:33,590
I said, now stop it.

491
00:24:34,350 --> 00:24:35,010
Stop it.

492
00:24:35,710 --> 00:24:36,830
He was tired.

493
00:24:37,230 --> 00:24:38,590
He sat up into the night.

494
00:24:39,330 --> 00:24:40,590
He did all sorts of things.

495
00:24:41,510 --> 00:24:42,690
I said, now stop it.

496
00:24:45,250 --> 00:24:46,410
He stopped it.

497
00:24:51,670 --> 00:24:54,430
But don't you ever hunger like that to

498
00:24:54,430 --> 00:24:55,510
get the word in, dear.

499
00:24:56,590 --> 00:24:58,170
Have you ever known the like?

500
00:25:03,050 --> 00:25:04,570
Glory be to God.

501
00:25:06,450 --> 00:25:08,130
Oh, it's tremendous.

502
00:25:08,830 --> 00:25:12,610
But, you see, beloved, we've got to get

503
00:25:12,610 --> 00:25:15,770
to this place where we're really getting down

504
00:25:15,770 --> 00:25:16,290
to it.

505
00:25:16,290 --> 00:25:19,930
That you and I have got to ask

506
00:25:19,930 --> 00:25:23,890
the Father in his name, and the Father

507
00:25:23,890 --> 00:25:25,050
will give it to us.

508
00:25:25,230 --> 00:25:27,410
That doesn't mean to say that you have

509
00:25:27,410 --> 00:25:29,310
a long list of prayers and say, in

510
00:25:29,310 --> 00:25:30,990
Jesus' name, Amen.

511
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:34,120
That doesn't.

512
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:35,720
That's not in his name.

513
00:25:36,020 --> 00:25:38,780
That means it's the kind of prayer that

514
00:25:38,780 --> 00:25:44,080
Jesus would pray about the thing or person

515
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:47,840
that you're concerned with.

516
00:25:49,950 --> 00:25:51,210
That'll sort you out.

517
00:25:52,350 --> 00:25:53,550
You say, well, how am I going to

518
00:25:53,550 --> 00:25:54,090
know that?

519
00:25:54,210 --> 00:25:56,370
Oh, you'll have to be baptised and filled

520
00:25:56,370 --> 00:25:57,650
with the Spirit to know that.

521
00:25:58,670 --> 00:25:59,090
You see.

522
00:26:02,360 --> 00:26:03,360
You have to know that.

523
00:26:03,740 --> 00:26:05,680
Not that everybody that's filled with the Spirit

524
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:06,220
does it.

525
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:09,960
Or has had an experience of the baptism

526
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:11,260
in the Spirit, does it.

527
00:26:11,620 --> 00:26:12,820
But they're qualifying.

528
00:26:16,580 --> 00:26:17,040
Hallelujah.

529
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:18,660
They're qualifying.

530
00:26:20,360 --> 00:26:20,660
Amen.

531
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:25,580
Oh, when God realigns the pattern of your

532
00:26:25,580 --> 00:26:30,200
living, and the pattern of your thinking, and

533
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:38,160
changes everything, and brings us into direct prayer

534
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:39,800
with God, eh?

535
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:42,800
Blessed be the name of the Lord.

536
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:48,400
He says, he says this, in verse 25,

537
00:26:49,300 --> 00:26:52,300
These things have I spoken unto you in

538
00:26:52,300 --> 00:26:57,400
Proverbs, or parables, but the time cometh when

539
00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,520
I shall no more speak unto you in

540
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:05,700
Proverbs, but I will show you plainly of

541
00:27:05,700 --> 00:27:06,400
the Father.

542
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,060
Now, we did that, he did that at

543
00:27:10,060 --> 00:27:10,620
Calvary.

544
00:27:11,490 --> 00:27:14,940
He showed them plainly of the Father.

545
00:27:15,780 --> 00:27:19,140
The lengths to which Father would go to

546
00:27:19,140 --> 00:27:22,740
deal with sin, and to have children.

547
00:27:24,140 --> 00:27:26,900
He showed us plainly of the Father.

548
00:27:28,260 --> 00:27:29,320
That's what he did.

549
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:31,900
But it's this bit next I want to

550
00:27:31,900 --> 00:27:32,380
come to.

551
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:37,120
At that day, when you see the Father

552
00:27:37,120 --> 00:27:42,030
plainly, now you've got to ask the Father

553
00:27:42,030 --> 00:27:43,190
in his name.

554
00:27:43,630 --> 00:27:46,690
You've got to see the Father plainly.

555
00:27:46,890 --> 00:27:47,290
Do you?

556
00:27:50,300 --> 00:27:52,860
I'm talking about heart vision now.

557
00:27:54,860 --> 00:27:57,800
This is the basis for our prayer life.

558
00:27:58,220 --> 00:28:03,100
At that day, when I have shown you

559
00:28:03,100 --> 00:28:08,900
plainly of the Father, glory be to the

560
00:28:08,900 --> 00:28:14,540
name of the Lord, when you see plainly

561
00:28:14,540 --> 00:28:20,900
your birth in God, the Holy Ghost, and

562
00:28:20,900 --> 00:28:27,080
when you see clearly that He is your

563
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:33,220
Father, and the understanding of this marvellous new

564
00:28:33,220 --> 00:28:37,220
life you've got is clear to you, that's

565
00:28:37,220 --> 00:28:38,340
the whole basis of it.

566
00:28:39,340 --> 00:28:43,500
It isn't adopting a new method of prayer.

567
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:48,420
It's on personal heart vision of God.

568
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:53,580
It's on a true relationship with God that

569
00:28:53,580 --> 00:28:54,120
prayer comes.

570
00:28:54,300 --> 00:28:57,760
It doesn't come from reading a book about

571
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:01,100
prayer, though that may help you, and sort

572
00:29:01,100 --> 00:29:05,320
of getting what we call the evangelical approach,

573
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:08,920
or the Pentecostal approach, or anything like that,

574
00:29:08,980 --> 00:29:11,500
to the way you should pray, or the

575
00:29:11,500 --> 00:29:12,920
things you should pray about.

576
00:29:13,740 --> 00:29:18,600
It's you knowing your relationship with the Father.

577
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:20,120
Amen.

578
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:25,320
And the privileges that are yours as a

579
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:25,720
son.

580
00:29:28,260 --> 00:29:28,940
Amen.

581
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:31,500
That's what you've got to see.

582
00:29:32,460 --> 00:29:34,500
It isn't saying prayers.

583
00:29:34,500 --> 00:29:36,910
It's seeing Father.

584
00:29:41,930 --> 00:29:44,250
You see, it isn't saying words.

585
00:29:45,190 --> 00:29:47,830
It's having Jesus' name.

586
00:29:51,450 --> 00:29:53,430
This is what it lies in.

587
00:29:55,350 --> 00:29:59,930
When that really comes deeply into the experience,

588
00:30:00,070 --> 00:30:03,330
this is what he says, At that day

589
00:30:03,330 --> 00:30:07,850
you shall ask in my name, and I

590
00:30:07,850 --> 00:30:11,710
say not unto you that I will pray

591
00:30:11,710 --> 00:30:13,770
the Father for you.

592
00:30:13,830 --> 00:30:15,030
Listen to what he's saying.

593
00:30:15,370 --> 00:30:18,530
He's saying to them, at that day, he's

594
00:30:18,530 --> 00:30:20,070
really telling them he's not going to pray

595
00:30:20,070 --> 00:30:20,730
for them.

596
00:30:21,910 --> 00:30:23,070
My word.

597
00:30:25,030 --> 00:30:26,090
That's right, isn't it?

598
00:30:26,210 --> 00:30:29,310
It's almost surprising to read these words in

599
00:30:29,310 --> 00:30:29,810
the Bible.

600
00:30:29,810 --> 00:30:31,990
Hope you don't skip them over because they're

601
00:30:31,990 --> 00:30:35,370
unpalatable, or your mind can't grapple with it.

602
00:30:36,250 --> 00:30:39,870
I say not unto you that I will

603
00:30:39,870 --> 00:30:42,590
pray the Father for you.

604
00:30:43,790 --> 00:30:45,470
You say, well, all my hopes are based

605
00:30:45,470 --> 00:30:47,230
on the fact that he's praying for me.

606
00:30:47,310 --> 00:30:48,930
Well, you've got to read the Bible.

607
00:30:51,090 --> 00:30:55,030
For the Father himself loveth you.

608
00:30:56,230 --> 00:30:57,510
Oh, glorious.

609
00:30:58,050 --> 00:30:58,630
Hallelujah.

610
00:30:59,810 --> 00:31:00,830
He loves you.

611
00:31:03,410 --> 00:31:05,670
Because you've loved me.

612
00:31:06,850 --> 00:31:10,430
And have believed that I came out from

613
00:31:10,430 --> 00:31:11,290
God.

614
00:31:12,430 --> 00:31:12,710
Amen.

615
00:31:13,190 --> 00:31:14,430
That's the basis of it.

616
00:31:17,030 --> 00:31:19,190
He's as good as saying, when you really

617
00:31:19,190 --> 00:31:22,670
get here, you don't really need me to

618
00:31:22,670 --> 00:31:23,810
pray for you anymore.

619
00:31:24,870 --> 00:31:27,090
He told them he would pray for them

620
00:31:27,090 --> 00:31:28,090
a certain way.

621
00:31:28,090 --> 00:31:29,630
You've got to go back to the 14th

622
00:31:29,630 --> 00:31:30,430
chapter for this.

623
00:31:31,170 --> 00:31:36,230
In the 14th chapter, he says this in

624
00:31:36,230 --> 00:31:37,190
verse 15.

625
00:31:38,230 --> 00:31:43,810
If you love me, keep my commandments, and

626
00:31:43,810 --> 00:31:45,810
I will pray the Father.

627
00:31:46,330 --> 00:31:51,330
And he will give you another comforter.

628
00:31:52,270 --> 00:31:52,970
Amen.

629
00:31:53,650 --> 00:31:55,550
Oh, this is tremendous, isn't it?

630
00:31:57,150 --> 00:32:04,170
And that he may abide with you forever.

631
00:32:05,330 --> 00:32:07,670
Even the Spirit of truth.

632
00:32:08,230 --> 00:32:09,610
Oh, this is tremendous, isn't it?

633
00:32:10,410 --> 00:32:12,130
You see, he said, I will pray for

634
00:32:12,130 --> 00:32:14,350
you to receive the Holy Ghost.

635
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:21,740
That's what I will pray for you.

636
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:24,280
Oh, glory.

637
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:26,520
Ah, that's tremendous.

638
00:32:27,980 --> 00:32:31,220
And you know, he says such great things.

639
00:32:31,460 --> 00:32:33,020
Look in the 16th chapter.

640
00:32:33,780 --> 00:32:35,620
And in the 16th chapter, he's still talking

641
00:32:35,620 --> 00:32:36,420
about the Holy Ghost.

642
00:32:36,500 --> 00:32:37,760
His heart's full of it.

643
00:32:38,940 --> 00:32:42,500
He says, I tell you the truth, verse

644
00:32:42,500 --> 00:32:42,920
7.

645
00:32:44,820 --> 00:32:48,060
It's expedient for you that I go away.

646
00:32:48,660 --> 00:32:50,800
So we say, oh Jesus, don't go.

647
00:32:50,980 --> 00:32:53,060
We've only known you for three years.

648
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:54,660
Don't go.

649
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:56,420
We're only just beginning to get our eyes

650
00:32:56,420 --> 00:32:56,820
open.

651
00:32:57,300 --> 00:32:58,940
Don't go, Lord.

652
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:01,700
Who's going to love us if you go?

653
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:04,900
Who's going to lead us when you go?

654
00:33:05,300 --> 00:33:06,540
That's what they were saying.

655
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:08,200
This kind of thing.

656
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:09,800
You see.

657
00:33:10,420 --> 00:33:12,660
And he said, it's expedient for you that

658
00:33:12,660 --> 00:33:13,440
I go away.

659
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:15,740
If I stay here, I'll block up the

660
00:33:15,740 --> 00:33:16,180
plan.

661
00:33:17,900 --> 00:33:20,160
It'll be bad for you if I stay

662
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:20,600
here.

663
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:22,440
Yeah, try it.

664
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:23,140
Fancy that.

665
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:25,960
Hallelujah.

666
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:30,560
Oh, this is great.

667
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:34,140
If I go not away, the Comforter won't

668
00:33:34,140 --> 00:33:34,860
come to you.

669
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:39,740
But if I depart, I will send him

670
00:33:39,740 --> 00:33:40,740
to you.

671
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:44,580
And when he's come, that is, come to

672
00:33:44,580 --> 00:33:50,420
you, he will reprove the world of sin,

673
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:54,560
and of righteousness, and of judgment.

674
00:33:55,580 --> 00:34:01,520
Sin, because they believe not on me.

675
00:34:02,380 --> 00:34:06,760
Of righteousness, because I go to my Father,

676
00:34:07,780 --> 00:34:10,219
and you see me no more.

677
00:34:11,070 --> 00:34:15,120
Of judgment, because the Prince of this world

678
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:15,920
is judged.

679
00:34:18,060 --> 00:34:21,760
I have many things to say unto you,

680
00:34:22,060 --> 00:34:25,900
but you cannot bear them now.

681
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:34,440
Howbeit, listen now, when he, the Spirit of

682
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:38,840
Truth, is come, he will guide you into

683
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:45,179
all truth, for he shall not speak from

684
00:34:45,179 --> 00:34:48,719
himself, you've got of, it's authorized, but it's

685
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:49,080
from.

686
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:54,219
He shall not speak from himself, but whatsoever

687
00:34:54,219 --> 00:34:59,320
he shall hear, that shall he speak, and

688
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:03,540
he will show you things to come.

689
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:06,540
Now, there's the basis of your prayer life.

690
00:35:09,240 --> 00:35:11,140
There's the basis of your prayer life.

691
00:35:13,740 --> 00:35:16,000
I'm going to pray, if you want to

692
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,380
be a praying people, I'm going to pray

693
00:35:18,380 --> 00:35:21,780
that you're going to receive the Holy Ghost.

694
00:35:22,900 --> 00:35:28,760
When you receive the Holy Ghost, what he

695
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:30,660
hears, he'll tell you.

696
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:34,300
Here's the guide for your prayer life, not

697
00:35:34,300 --> 00:35:36,720
sort of the accepted lists that people hand

698
00:35:36,720 --> 00:35:37,080
out.

699
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:41,440
Here's the guide for your prayer life.

700
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:47,800
Oh, the Holy Ghost telling you.

701
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:49,700
That's for your own absolute certainty.

702
00:35:49,940 --> 00:35:51,300
You can't go wrong, you see.

703
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:54,880
You're not on the grounds of certainty when

704
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:56,580
you've got all these other things functioning.

705
00:35:56,580 --> 00:35:56,740
You see.

706
00:36:01,130 --> 00:36:02,150
You see.

707
00:36:03,190 --> 00:36:06,990
Your prime need, my brother and sister, is

708
00:36:06,990 --> 00:36:08,650
to receive the Holy Ghost.

709
00:36:12,820 --> 00:36:17,410
You cannot pray properly, even.

710
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:22,880
You cannot enter into this realm of being

711
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:29,740
a prince and having power with God, unless

712
00:36:29,740 --> 00:36:31,640
the Blessed Spirit's come to you.

713
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:33,840
You don't know what to pray for.

714
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:39,100
You don't know.

715
00:36:41,300 --> 00:36:42,180
Look here.

716
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:45,420
You'll agree with me that the Apostle Paul

717
00:36:45,420 --> 00:36:46,580
knew what he was talking about.

718
00:36:46,660 --> 00:36:48,720
I don't know whether you're a better prayer

719
00:36:48,720 --> 00:36:50,120
than the Apostle Paul was.

720
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:53,860
Let's go into Romans chapter 8.

721
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:56,420
This is what it tells us here.

722
00:36:57,780 --> 00:36:59,420
He says this.

723
00:37:01,020 --> 00:37:05,500
We know in verse 22 that the whole

724
00:37:05,500 --> 00:37:12,520
creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together unto

725
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:12,920
now.

726
00:37:13,180 --> 00:37:15,400
Well, let's get praying for it then.

727
00:37:15,580 --> 00:37:15,980
Come on.

728
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:19,700
Groaning, travailing in pain.

729
00:37:20,240 --> 00:37:21,340
They're blowing one another to bits.

730
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:22,940
They're cutting one another's heads off.

731
00:37:23,740 --> 00:37:24,560
They're fighting.

732
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,540
They're squabbling over tapes in America.

733
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:30,880
They're going through corruption in England in high

734
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:31,140
places.

735
00:37:31,240 --> 00:37:31,840
Oh, everything.

736
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:33,700
The nations are torn apart.

737
00:37:33,940 --> 00:37:34,480
What's going to happen?

738
00:37:37,140 --> 00:37:38,320
Where's the healing?

739
00:37:38,420 --> 00:37:39,820
Don't you care, you people?

740
00:37:44,290 --> 00:37:48,390
This then is pseudo fleshly sympathy.

741
00:37:49,510 --> 00:37:50,830
It doesn't understand.

742
00:37:52,550 --> 00:37:56,450
It sounds so good and pious and it's

743
00:37:56,450 --> 00:37:59,470
as wrong as wrong can be.

744
00:38:00,830 --> 00:38:01,810
Here it is.

745
00:38:02,510 --> 00:38:08,950
The whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain

746
00:38:08,950 --> 00:38:11,930
together until now.

747
00:38:13,510 --> 00:38:14,550
It would be a good thing if the

748
00:38:14,550 --> 00:38:16,290
church all got together, wouldn't it?

749
00:38:17,110 --> 00:38:20,290
And groaned and travailed together.

750
00:38:20,510 --> 00:38:22,810
If the whole creation's travailing together.

751
00:38:23,170 --> 00:38:23,730
Here it is.

752
00:38:23,890 --> 00:38:28,570
And not only they, but ourselves also, which

753
00:38:28,570 --> 00:38:32,170
had the firstfruits of the Spirit.

754
00:38:33,350 --> 00:38:33,690
Amen.

755
00:38:33,870 --> 00:38:34,450
What's that?

756
00:38:34,450 --> 00:38:36,510
What's the firstfruits of the Spirit?

757
00:38:36,850 --> 00:38:40,390
The nature of Jesus Christ in us now.

758
00:38:40,930 --> 00:38:42,890
When I've got that, I can pray in

759
00:38:42,890 --> 00:38:43,370
His name.

760
00:38:43,690 --> 00:38:44,510
Not until.

761
00:38:47,060 --> 00:38:54,000
I can't pray in Jesus' name properly until

762
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:57,460
the Spirit has come to me and brought

763
00:38:57,460 --> 00:39:02,480
the firstfruits of my heavenly heritage into my

764
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:05,800
life and I have the nature of Jesus

765
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:10,700
Christ and then I can bear His name

766
00:39:10,700 --> 00:39:11,920
and use it.

767
00:39:15,050 --> 00:39:16,150
It's all simple.

768
00:39:17,730 --> 00:39:18,830
And on we go.

769
00:39:19,090 --> 00:39:19,850
It says this.

770
00:39:20,250 --> 00:39:25,930
We ourselves groan within ourselves waiting for the

771
00:39:25,930 --> 00:39:29,230
adoption to wit the redemption of our body

772
00:39:29,230 --> 00:39:32,290
for we're saved by hope.

773
00:39:33,110 --> 00:39:34,170
And so we go on.

774
00:39:35,210 --> 00:39:41,510
Verse 26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our

775
00:39:41,510 --> 00:39:46,490
infirmities for we know not what we should

776
00:39:46,490 --> 00:39:47,330
pray for.

777
00:39:47,870 --> 00:39:50,310
We're too infirm to know what we should

778
00:39:50,310 --> 00:39:51,010
pray for.

779
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:55,760
We don't know what we should pray for

780
00:39:56,100 --> 00:39:57,120
as we ought.

781
00:39:58,180 --> 00:40:00,680
Too many people think they do.

782
00:40:02,540 --> 00:40:05,260
The Holy Ghost has come to be the

783
00:40:05,260 --> 00:40:09,780
heavenly teacher and He hasn't put into our

784
00:40:09,780 --> 00:40:12,020
hands the traditions of the church.

785
00:40:14,580 --> 00:40:18,200
He's put into our hearts or you should

786
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:21,900
have allowed Him to a whole new conceptual

787
00:40:21,900 --> 00:40:25,960
approach to the troubles and ills of the

788
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:26,520
world.

789
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:33,600
A whole new attitude to these things.

790
00:40:34,240 --> 00:40:36,020
Blessed be His name.

791
00:40:36,460 --> 00:40:38,020
This is His faithfulness.

792
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:43,780
But you see the Spirit He comes we're

793
00:40:43,780 --> 00:40:47,900
told in this verse and He makes intercession

794
00:40:47,900 --> 00:40:53,240
for us with groanings which cannot be uttered

795
00:40:53,240 --> 00:40:57,380
and He that searcheth the hearts knows what

796
00:40:57,380 --> 00:41:00,500
is the mind of the Spirit because He

797
00:41:00,500 --> 00:41:03,200
maketh intercession for the saints according to the

798
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:03,880
will of God.

799
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:05,740
That's right.

800
00:41:06,620 --> 00:41:08,020
That's what He comes for.

801
00:41:09,460 --> 00:41:11,320
And that's why you can always know you're

802
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:13,280
praying in the will of God and that's

803
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:15,260
how you know your prayers will always be

804
00:41:15,260 --> 00:41:17,700
answered and that's how you know that the

805
00:41:17,700 --> 00:41:19,060
promises are yea and amen.

806
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:22,460
Isn't it simple?

807
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:24,160
God's plan is very simple.

808
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:28,100
There's nothing in it really beloved but for

809
00:41:28,100 --> 00:41:32,420
us to throw away the preconceived ideas and

810
00:41:32,420 --> 00:41:33,620
start afresh.

811
00:41:36,380 --> 00:41:37,100
Hallelujah.

812
00:41:38,260 --> 00:41:41,180
And when we're brave enough to do that

813
00:41:41,180 --> 00:41:45,320
and break with the traditions of a lifetime

814
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:49,600
in positions from a realm that we knew

815
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:52,240
nothing about when we came into the world

816
00:41:53,500 --> 00:41:56,140
but we moved into a set that did

817
00:41:56,140 --> 00:41:59,300
this or a family that behaved like that

818
00:41:59,300 --> 00:42:02,360
we had no way of testing before we

819
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:04,900
came into the world whether this thing was

820
00:42:04,900 --> 00:42:06,800
right or whether it wasn't.

821
00:42:08,420 --> 00:42:08,820
Amen.

822
00:42:09,780 --> 00:42:13,440
But once we're born again from above beloved

823
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:17,020
the blessed Holy Ghost comes to give us

824
00:42:17,020 --> 00:42:19,100
a thorough I was going to say spring

825
00:42:19,100 --> 00:42:29,080
clean move into everything regenerate, revitalize,

826
00:42:29,580 --> 00:42:33,360
renew oh this is the great work of

827
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:36,220
the Spirit of God to bring us into

828
00:42:36,220 --> 00:42:42,550
this real place that's what he's come for

829
00:42:42,550 --> 00:42:48,310
whatsoever he shall hear that shall he speak

830
00:42:49,710 --> 00:42:56,800
and if you'll listen you'll hear him and

831
00:42:56,800 --> 00:43:00,800
if you'll attend to what he says he'll

832
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:02,360
keep speaking to you.

833
00:43:09,290 --> 00:43:10,050
Hallelujah.

834
00:43:12,770 --> 00:43:14,530
It's as simple as that.

835
00:43:15,970 --> 00:43:20,950
This then is the life of communion and

836
00:43:20,950 --> 00:43:24,710
then we can walk with the Lord and

837
00:43:24,710 --> 00:43:28,510
then we can see our prayers being answered

838
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:35,040
what a marvellous and wonderful thing it is

839
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:35,300
then.

840
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:40,060
Let's go back to John and John is

841
00:43:40,060 --> 00:43:45,040
talking to us so very very plainly I

842
00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:49,580
like his plain speech he will show you

843
00:43:49,580 --> 00:43:52,940
things to come well when you're seeing things

844
00:43:52,940 --> 00:43:54,340
to come I mean you can pray about

845
00:43:54,340 --> 00:43:54,900
them can't you?

846
00:43:56,080 --> 00:44:00,800
I see this coming Hallelujah I can see

847
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:04,040
this coming you talking about visions?

848
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:09,450
No I'm not talking about visions I'm not

849
00:44:09,450 --> 00:44:12,730
talking about you becoming a visionary I'm only

850
00:44:12,730 --> 00:44:15,010
telling that you'll become a person with sight

851
00:44:18,750 --> 00:44:29,630
you'll see you can see Hallelujah Yeah that's

852
00:44:29,630 --> 00:44:32,130
the prayer life what a great world you're

853
00:44:32,130 --> 00:44:35,750
going to enter into it's an amazing thing

854
00:44:37,790 --> 00:44:40,490
I don't want to get all political and

855
00:44:40,490 --> 00:44:45,370
this isn't a party political broadcast but couldn't

856
00:44:45,370 --> 00:44:47,110
you see what was coming when the Labour

857
00:44:47,110 --> 00:44:50,870
government got in about the unions going to

858
00:44:50,870 --> 00:44:53,630
rule the country couldn't you foresee that?

859
00:44:55,950 --> 00:45:00,530
well this is a special well you see

860
00:45:00,530 --> 00:45:04,790
everybody is special they all feel that couldn't

861
00:45:04,790 --> 00:45:06,490
you see that politically?

862
00:45:07,130 --> 00:45:11,650
if not well well now now come right

863
00:45:11,650 --> 00:45:13,390
out of that realm get rid of it

864
00:45:13,390 --> 00:45:20,650
anyway come into the spiritual realm you can

865
00:45:20,650 --> 00:45:27,810
see things are coming that's right that's marvellous

866
00:45:27,810 --> 00:45:29,650
see you're coming into a new realm you're

867
00:45:29,650 --> 00:45:32,950
in a new relationship and you're not wasting

868
00:45:32,950 --> 00:45:38,630
your time running around chasing your tail Lord

869
00:45:39,970 --> 00:45:42,230
oh it's a thrill when you get into

870
00:45:42,230 --> 00:45:45,430
this it's a thrill when your prayers are

871
00:45:45,430 --> 00:45:48,910
answered so many times in a day and

872
00:45:48,910 --> 00:45:53,070
God does this and God does that and

873
00:45:53,070 --> 00:45:54,850
miracles become bread and butter to you so

874
00:45:54,850 --> 00:45:59,710
you never talk about it anymore they're just

875
00:45:59,710 --> 00:46:04,790
the natural things of life that's it you're

876
00:46:04,790 --> 00:46:12,410
in an entirely new realm Amen and you

877
00:46:12,410 --> 00:46:14,590
don't have to read books that boost your

878
00:46:14,590 --> 00:46:20,450
faith or anything like that you're there beloved

879
00:46:20,450 --> 00:46:28,410
you're moving that's it it's the life glory

880
00:46:29,550 --> 00:46:34,350
you must pray you must I didn't say

881
00:46:34,350 --> 00:46:37,070
you must say your prayers you see people

882
00:46:37,070 --> 00:46:39,530
that don't understand they sometimes think they're very

883
00:46:39,530 --> 00:46:41,650
funny you're going off to church they say

884
00:46:41,650 --> 00:46:44,170
say one for me you see they only

885
00:46:44,170 --> 00:46:46,350
think about saying prayers they've been brought up

886
00:46:46,350 --> 00:46:49,070
on books of them somebody at the front

887
00:46:49,070 --> 00:46:55,170
says something that's not prayer prayer is my

888
00:46:55,170 --> 00:47:00,030
life moving in God's life prayer is my

889
00:47:00,030 --> 00:47:06,050
spirit moving in God's spirit that's what prayer

890
00:47:06,050 --> 00:47:12,560
is prayer uses words but it can as

891
00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:17,540
well get on without them for it doesn't

892
00:47:17,540 --> 00:47:22,780
lie in the words but we are so

893
00:47:22,780 --> 00:47:26,080
constituted as human beings having powers of speech

894
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:29,940
and don't we all know it that we

895
00:47:29,940 --> 00:47:33,400
talk the way our spirit goes if not

896
00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:44,230
we're humbugs and hypocrites hallelujah this

897
00:47:44,230 --> 00:47:46,610
is the wonder and the reality of it

898
00:47:46,610 --> 00:47:52,310
and God starts to move us he'll show

899
00:47:52,310 --> 00:47:55,090
you things that can listen let's read this

900
00:47:55,090 --> 00:47:59,150
13th verse of John 16 the spirit of

901
00:47:59,150 --> 00:48:02,470
truth is come hallelujah and he's going to

902
00:48:02,470 --> 00:48:05,610
guide me into all truth how about that

903
00:48:05,610 --> 00:48:09,430
I'll have the truth of the matter all

904
00:48:09,430 --> 00:48:12,010
the truth of the matter how about that

905
00:48:12,910 --> 00:48:15,570
in principle it doesn't mean I'll have a

906
00:48:15,570 --> 00:48:17,630
head stocked up with all the knowledge that's

907
00:48:17,630 --> 00:48:20,570
ever been revealed unto man but you see

908
00:48:20,570 --> 00:48:23,950
truth isn't in that realm truth lies in

909
00:48:23,950 --> 00:48:29,950
spiritual reality that's where truth lies first and

910
00:48:29,950 --> 00:48:32,830
fundamentally and I can have all that truth

911
00:48:32,830 --> 00:48:36,570
glory be to God I get illuminated and

912
00:48:36,570 --> 00:48:39,530
led out into understandings as I go on

913
00:48:39,530 --> 00:48:43,310
with the spirit of God amen I can

914
00:48:43,310 --> 00:48:46,450
cope with more I can take on more

915
00:48:47,050 --> 00:48:51,270
my heart can be as it were just

916
00:48:51,270 --> 00:48:53,290
open to the Lord so the spirit of

917
00:48:53,290 --> 00:48:55,430
God can take it up and take up

918
00:48:55,430 --> 00:48:59,010
my whole self and engage it on this

919
00:48:59,290 --> 00:49:01,750
and then engage it on another and the

920
00:49:01,750 --> 00:49:07,010
great flowing river of God is moving through

921
00:49:07,010 --> 00:49:16,740
me that's what God wants oh

922
00:49:16,740 --> 00:49:21,020
hallelujah the thrill of it he'll guide you

923
00:49:21,020 --> 00:49:25,640
into all truth he'll not speak from himself

924
00:49:26,900 --> 00:49:31,640
whatsoever he shall hear that shall he speak

925
00:49:32,140 --> 00:49:34,940
and he will show you things to come

926
00:49:34,940 --> 00:49:38,540
it's marvellous if father says to Jesus it's

927
00:49:38,540 --> 00:49:41,400
about time that north down there God on

928
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:44,020
the Holy Ghost will tell me what he

929
00:49:44,020 --> 00:49:45,660
hears he tells me he's in on the

930
00:49:45,660 --> 00:49:49,700
council chambers of heaven and if Jesus said

931
00:49:49,700 --> 00:49:52,000
to the father see that woman I won't

932
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:55,520
point at you sister that woman she needs

933
00:49:55,520 --> 00:49:57,360
to get out of her silly ways I

934
00:49:57,360 --> 00:49:59,600
mean he loves you so the Holy Ghost

935
00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:05,740
hears that all the nonsense that's what it's

936
00:50:05,740 --> 00:50:14,190
all about that fellow wants to stop the

937
00:50:14,190 --> 00:50:21,440
way he's behaving that girl wants to dress

938
00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:28,610
properly alright the Holy Ghost will tell you

939
00:50:28,610 --> 00:50:33,410
if you listen to him you're alright shut

940
00:50:33,410 --> 00:50:39,250
your ears and you're out of usefulness all

941
00:50:39,250 --> 00:50:43,670
depends on obedience and you see it's so

942
00:50:43,670 --> 00:50:47,390
lovely so simple I think God's plan is

943
00:50:47,390 --> 00:50:50,350
marvellous you can't compliment God but we have

944
00:50:50,350 --> 00:50:56,030
to worship him it couldn't be bettered and

945
00:50:56,030 --> 00:51:02,590
here then it says verse 14 he shall

946
00:51:02,590 --> 00:51:08,130
glorify me for listen he shall receive of

947
00:51:08,130 --> 00:51:13,390
mine and show it to you what blessed

948
00:51:13,390 --> 00:51:17,410
be the name of the Lord he'll receive

949
00:51:17,410 --> 00:51:21,030
if Jesus is he'll show you if Jesus

950
00:51:21,030 --> 00:51:25,110
says now that situation's mine you show it

951
00:51:25,110 --> 00:51:28,390
to him and you pray you say I'm

952
00:51:28,390 --> 00:51:29,650
going to get out a list of the

953
00:51:29,650 --> 00:51:34,810
things I'm going to pray for he'll show

954
00:51:34,810 --> 00:51:40,410
it to you there that's mine that woman

955
00:51:40,410 --> 00:51:44,350
there's mine oh she may be steeped in

956
00:51:44,350 --> 00:51:52,140
the world and saturated in rottenness mine mine

957
00:51:54,880 --> 00:51:58,420
see this is the way it goes and

958
00:51:58,420 --> 00:52:05,980
it's lovely it's so simple it's so real

959
00:52:05,980 --> 00:52:12,940
and it works that's the main thing works

960
00:52:14,220 --> 00:52:16,760
if you've got a prayer life that don't

961
00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:22,380
work get rid of it get rid of

962
00:52:22,380 --> 00:52:27,360
it not that sometimes he doesn't delay as

963
00:52:27,360 --> 00:52:31,000
we pointed out if he delays it's in

964
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:32,880
order to do a bigger miracle than you

965
00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:42,760
know and that's wonderful amen sometimes I've had

966
00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:44,820
to get hold of women and they're very

967
00:52:44,820 --> 00:52:49,240
concerned about their husbands here's my husband he

968
00:52:49,240 --> 00:52:52,180
doesn't seem to see he's dead I don't

969
00:52:52,180 --> 00:52:55,660
understand I pray for him and I generally

970
00:52:55,660 --> 00:52:57,700
say to her now look you take your

971
00:52:57,700 --> 00:53:03,530
hands off your husband best way to drive

972
00:53:03,530 --> 00:53:08,130
him away take your hands off him you

973
00:53:08,130 --> 00:53:11,950
see this is quite intensive womanly concern this

974
00:53:11,950 --> 00:53:16,010
broody thing like a hen over everything get

975
00:53:16,010 --> 00:53:24,710
off him get off him leave him to

976
00:53:24,710 --> 00:53:32,710
God that's right praise God they don't trust

977
00:53:32,710 --> 00:53:35,490
God they trust that they keep on nagging

978
00:53:35,490 --> 00:53:38,450
at their husband keep giving him hints as

979
00:53:38,450 --> 00:53:40,290
though he's blind in the back and can't

980
00:53:40,290 --> 00:53:49,510
see anything leave him alone leave her alone

981
00:53:49,510 --> 00:53:58,250
too that's right that's not prayer it's just

982
00:53:58,250 --> 00:54:05,310
this clawing human spirit makes you shudder it's

983
00:54:05,310 --> 00:54:14,760
unclean sucks into itself calls it prayer

984
00:54:16,880 --> 00:54:25,880
leave him alone that's right my mother used

985
00:54:25,880 --> 00:54:29,100
to say something like it's a worldly saying

986
00:54:29,100 --> 00:54:31,220
but not all the sayings of the world

987
00:54:31,220 --> 00:54:33,820
are wrong she didn't say it in a

988
00:54:33,820 --> 00:54:36,600
worldly sense but she used to talk about

989
00:54:37,640 --> 00:54:39,420
if I give him enough rope he'll hang

990
00:54:39,420 --> 00:54:49,660
himself that's right this is the way when

991
00:54:49,660 --> 00:54:54,600
God moves sounds as though you've had some

992
00:54:54,600 --> 00:55:01,080
of that treatment hallelujah that's the way praise

993
00:55:01,080 --> 00:55:03,360
God there are other times when God will

994
00:55:03,360 --> 00:55:06,320
bring you in to prevent something you don't

995
00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:08,160
know the way of the spirit we don't

996
00:55:08,160 --> 00:55:10,280
know what we should pray for as we

997
00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:14,960
ought we don't oh to be free and

998
00:55:14,960 --> 00:55:22,400
responsive to the spirit hallelujah oh to come

999
00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:24,860
off that coffin you call a prayer list

1000
00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:31,140
amen free to the spirit it's alright you

1001
00:55:31,140 --> 00:55:34,880
can trust it you're thinking about it I

1002
00:55:34,880 --> 00:55:40,740
shall forget now you're in your mind you've

1003
00:55:40,740 --> 00:55:47,640
got to get in the spirit dare you

1004
00:55:47,640 --> 00:55:53,060
make the great transition dare you cross this

1005
00:55:53,060 --> 00:56:01,960
great gulf amen you don't know say you

1006
00:56:01,960 --> 00:56:06,220
don't know and be honest come and talk

1007
00:56:06,220 --> 00:56:09,620
God's language it's because you think you know

1008
00:56:09,620 --> 00:56:12,240
you say I'm hammering at the gates of

1009
00:56:12,240 --> 00:56:13,960
course you're not hammering at the gates they're

1010
00:56:13,960 --> 00:56:21,920
open hammering at the very gates of heaven

1011
00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:27,340
of course you're not not a nonsense sentimentalism

1012
00:56:30,160 --> 00:56:33,800
read the book of the reveler know the

1013
00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:38,620
truth tie yourself up in cliches and things

1014
00:56:38,620 --> 00:56:44,200
like that hallelujah be free and know what

1015
00:56:44,200 --> 00:56:49,920
you're doing move in and there are times

1016
00:56:49,920 --> 00:56:54,200
when just one word of prayer will do

1017
00:56:54,200 --> 00:56:58,040
more than the 50,000 words you've poured

1018
00:56:58,040 --> 00:57:00,220
out about it for the last 10 years

1019
00:57:00,220 --> 00:57:06,420
and called it importunity now I'm not saying

1020
00:57:06,420 --> 00:57:09,260
you haven't got to be importunate you have

1021
00:57:11,560 --> 00:57:15,060
of course you've got to be importunate but

1022
00:57:15,060 --> 00:57:23,340
importunity importunity is the spirit that makes opportunity

1023
00:57:24,360 --> 00:57:34,400
when there is none importunity importunity is

1024
00:57:34,400 --> 00:57:38,020
a spiritual thing not a thing of repetitious

1025
00:57:38,020 --> 00:57:43,880
words remember that everything in this great gospel

1026
00:57:43,880 --> 00:57:49,700
is in the spirit words are only necessary

1027
00:57:50,700 --> 00:57:56,060
as they come along this line amen with

1028
00:57:56,060 --> 00:58:00,840
the spirit amen and here then is the

1029
00:58:00,840 --> 00:58:05,560
great secret and importunity is the spirit now

1030
00:58:05,560 --> 00:58:09,720
listen that refuses to take no for an

1031
00:58:09,720 --> 00:58:15,160
answer that's the spirit and I tell you

1032
00:58:15,160 --> 00:58:16,860
why it refuses to take no for an

1033
00:58:16,860 --> 00:58:20,200
answer because it knows it's right with God

1034
00:58:20,200 --> 00:58:23,940
and all the promises are yes and amen

1035
00:58:27,800 --> 00:58:31,900
it's all simple there's nothing complicated about this

1036
00:58:31,900 --> 00:58:37,320
life you see but it's oh pray about

1037
00:58:37,320 --> 00:58:39,220
this oh pray about this pray about this

1038
00:58:42,280 --> 00:58:45,100
well you've heard that everything should be born

1039
00:58:45,100 --> 00:58:50,100
in prayer sustained in prayer that's right but

1040
00:58:50,100 --> 00:59:01,050
it's got to be prayer prayer prayer

1041
00:59:04,500 --> 00:59:08,260
hallelujah woke up in the night last night

1042
00:59:10,120 --> 00:59:14,100

1043
00:59:14,100 --> 00:59:15,880

what it was man phoned me up rang

1045
00:59:19,680 --> 00:59:25,240
big big serious trouble could be national international

1046
00:59:28,120 --> 00:59:32,840
see will you pray for this so I

1047
00:59:32,840 --> 00:59:34,340
woke up in the night about three o

1048
00:59:34,340 --> 00:59:35,820
'clock it must have been something like that

1049
00:59:35,820 --> 00:59:39,300
straight on Lord so and so so and

1050
00:59:39,300 --> 00:59:47,620
so we're not asleep again I'm going to

1051
00:59:47,620 --> 00:59:54,540
ask you a question here's the question which

1052
00:59:54,540 --> 00:59:59,580
is the greater the life of prayer or

1053
00:59:59,580 --> 01:00:07,600
the prayer life which is the greater the

1054
01:00:07,600 --> 01:00:11,800
prayer life the prayer life that's the life

1055
01:00:11,800 --> 01:00:19,170
that prays that's right that's the greater the

1056
01:00:19,170 --> 01:00:23,630
prayer life is greater than the life of

1057
01:00:23,630 --> 01:00:32,860
prayer amen do you know Jesus' life is

1058
01:00:32,860 --> 01:00:41,660
a prayer life isn't it he ever lived

1059
01:00:42,220 --> 01:00:51,100
to make intercession for me hallelujah isn't that

1060
01:00:51,100 --> 01:00:57,600
a marvelous thing marvelous and that's a spiritual

1061
01:00:57,600 --> 01:01:06,260
thing and he's maintaining the relationship between my

1062
01:01:06,260 --> 01:01:09,400
self and my father so that I can

1063
01:01:09,400 --> 01:01:18,540
come in and say father you see I

1064
01:01:18,540 --> 01:01:21,160
mean there are certain it's strange sometimes I

1065
01:01:21,160 --> 01:01:24,540
move amongst people they say Jesus pray for

1066
01:01:24,540 --> 01:01:26,480
me and they go through a whole list

1067
01:01:26,480 --> 01:01:28,740
of names somebody pray for me somebody pray

1068
01:01:28,740 --> 01:01:32,720
for me you see but that is not

1069
01:01:32,720 --> 01:01:42,120
prayer it's not prayer prayer is a living

1070
01:01:42,120 --> 01:01:52,000
vital glorious oneness with God that reaches out

1071
01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:57,160
and takes what belongs to it asking and

1072
01:01:57,160 --> 01:02:03,500
receiving and seeing God do the miracles oh

1073
01:02:03,500 --> 01:02:06,660
I say I haven't finished I think I'd

1074
01:02:06,660 --> 01:02:18,440
better stop do you pray nevertheless

1075
01:02:18,440 --> 01:02:24,400
I want to say this this then is

1076
01:02:24,400 --> 01:02:27,020
the prayer life for the children of God

1077
01:02:27,840 --> 01:02:30,420
and those who would go on with God

1078
01:02:30,420 --> 01:02:34,060
in this great way if you're a beginner

1079
01:02:34,610 --> 01:02:38,900
and you hardly know where to begin start

1080
01:02:38,900 --> 01:02:42,200
by crying out in your own hearts name

1081
01:02:43,320 --> 01:02:49,640
start there the earliest word used in the

1082
01:02:49,640 --> 01:02:54,000
scripture about prayer is the word a cry

1083
01:02:55,830 --> 01:02:59,420
just a cry that's the basic thing when

1084
01:02:59,790 --> 01:03:03,620
the whole inside of you what I mean

1085
01:03:03,620 --> 01:03:07,600
by that that is the spiritual man you

1086
01:03:07,600 --> 01:03:10,180
may not have thought of yourself like that

1087
01:03:11,180 --> 01:03:19,800
just cries out cries out and God hears

1088
01:03:19,800 --> 01:03:27,320
that God hears that that's not the prayer

1089
01:03:27,320 --> 01:03:29,580
life of course that I've been talking about

1090
01:03:30,180 --> 01:03:36,400
but that's the way it will start Lord

1091
01:03:37,180 --> 01:03:44,360
Lord he'll come he'll move on you he'll

1092
01:03:44,360 --> 01:03:51,080
move in you he'll do tremendous things and

1093
01:03:52,020 --> 01:03:55,380
if the spirit makes groans which cannot be

1094
01:03:55,380 --> 01:03:58,340
uttered in me he won't go to sleep

1095
01:03:58,340 --> 01:04:04,580

1099
01:04:19,240 --> 01:04:22,480
can consciously pray because your life will develop

1100
01:04:22,480 --> 01:04:28,020
