[14:32] [Music]

[14:34] forever and at this time we'll have some

[14:38] slides for our camp updates that let you

[14:41] know what's going on and there'll be

[14:42] some testimonies also

[15:27] play

[15:57] e e

[16:32] take youres turn to Luke 16 while

[16:35] they're working on the

[16:37] technical Luke

[16:44] number minute

[17:05] technology is so

[17:08] fun Luke chapter 16 verse number 19 is

[17:11] where we're going to begin tonight we're

[17:13] going to be in four different passages

[17:15] tonight so we'll save the Campa update

[17:18] for maybe at the end of the service

[17:19] maybe they fixed for you Luke chapter

[17:22] number 16 and verse number

[17:25] 19 we're continuing our series on prayer

[17:29] and in Luke

[17:30] 16 you say what does that have to do

[17:33] with prayer well I want you to look at

[17:34] the passage I want you to consider verse

[17:37] number 19 of Luke chapter number 16

[17:40] there was a certain rich man which was

[17:41] clothed in purple and fine linen and

[17:44] fared somly every day there was a

[17:47] certain beggar named what you ought to

[17:50] Circle verse 20 and right next to it

[17:55] write this not a parable

[17:59] not a parable Jesus has been teaching in

[18:03] the other earlier chapters through

[18:05] Parables Luke 1619 is not a parable uh

[18:10] there's a real name there Jesus wouldn't

[18:12] say a name of a person if there wasn't

[18:14] the name of a person it's a real person

[18:18] and so it doesn't follow the parable

[18:20] formula he's been teaching in so he's

[18:22] using a real life story of a real man

[18:28] named Lazar

[18:29] who died and so it's important to

[18:32] remember that because some people say oh

[18:33] it's just a parable it's not real it's

[18:35] just make believe hell's not real no

[18:37] it's a real place and real people go

[18:39] there so Luke 16 he goes on verse 20

[18:43] which was laid at his gate full of

[18:44] Swords Desiring to be fed with the

[18:46] crumbs which fell from the rich man's

[18:47] table whover the dogs came and licked

[18:50] his swords and it came to pass that the

[18:51] beggar what he died was carried by the

[18:55] Angels into Abraham's bosom the rich man

[18:57] also

[18:59] died 10 out of 10 people die the only

[19:03] Interruption that will happen for

[19:04] someone's death is if the Rapture takes

[19:07] place for a saved individual the Bible

[19:10] tells us it's appointed unto man once to

[19:13] die and after that the Judgment God's

[19:15] got an appointment for everybody in here

[19:17] on the day you're going to die the only

[19:20] thing that may interrupt the calendar is

[19:22] the rapture of the church I wouldn't

[19:25] mind if the Rapture of the church

[19:27] happened before my death date how about

[19:29] you well we'll see if you wake up here

[19:32] in a minute I might have some work to do

[19:35] so the Bible tells us in verse 23 in

[19:38] hell he lifted up his eyes I want you to

[19:40] notice also in verse 22 the rich man

[19:42] also died and was buried notice the

[19:45] punctuation it's not a new thought it's

[19:47] a continuing thought he was buried and

[19:50] in hell to be absent from the body you

[19:52] have one of two choices for the believer

[19:55] you're absent from the body you're

[19:56] present with the Lord for the unsaved

[19:58] you're absent from the body and you're

[19:59] in hell those only two options there's

[20:02] no soul sleep there's no pause it's

[20:04] either absent from the body present with

[20:06] the Lord are absent from the body and in

[20:08] hell so in in hell he lifted up his eyes

[20:11] being in torments plural and seeth

[20:14] Abraham a far off Lazarus in his bosom

[20:16] he cried and said Father Abraham have

[20:18] mercy on me send Lazarus the tip of his

[20:21] finger in water and cool my T I am

[20:23] tormented in this flame probably many

[20:28] times we consider hell and we consider

[20:30] the Flames we consider the pain the

[20:33] Bible describes the Weeping and wailing

[20:35] and nashing of teeth in my humble

[20:37] opinion verse 25 is probably one of the

[20:40] worst parts of being in Hell verse 25

[20:44] but Abraham said Son

[20:47] remember that's one of the worst parts

[20:50] of being in hell will be

[20:53] remembering the Bible tells us that God

[20:55] and when we go to heaven he's going to

[20:57] wipe away all tears all the sorrow is

[20:59] going to be gone in heaven but in hell

[21:02] they got to remember they got to

[21:04] remember and so he says he remember that

[21:07] thou in thy lifetime receivest good

[21:08] things and likewise lavest evil things

[21:11] but now he is comforted and thou art

[21:15] tormented beside all this there's a all

[21:19] fixed that they which would pass from

[21:21] hence to you cannot neither can they

[21:23] come pass to us that would come from

[21:26] then then he

[21:29] said I pray thee therefore father that

[21:33] thou wouldest send him to my father's

[21:35] house for IAH five Brethren that he may

[21:38] testify unto them lest they come also

[21:41] come into this place of

[21:44] Torment tonight we're going to be

[21:46] looking at praying for

[21:49] Souls praying for

[21:52] souls in the process of praying for

[21:55] Souls there's going to be four different

[21:56] areas we're going to look at tonight

[21:58] that I think will be to us then also

[22:02] practical elements at the end that

[22:05] I as

[22:14] well pray if you would please cleanse me

[22:16] of sin and empty me of my that I might

[22:19] get out of the way tonight and your word

[22:20] may go forth Lord I pray that you'd

[22:23] speak to our hearts tonight challenge us

[22:25] from your word help us to pray help help

[22:28] us to be like the disciples and say Lord

[22:31] teach us to pray and Lord we know

[22:34] there's power in prayers we talked about

[22:37] last week but today Lord help us to be

[22:40] on purpose praying for souls in your

[22:43] name I pray amen I want you to notice

[22:46] tonight in Luke 16 we don't have time to

[22:49] go through the whole section that we've

[22:51] just read but we're going to highlight

[22:53] one

[22:54] point I believe it to be true because

[22:57] it's recorded in script scripture here I

[23:00] believe it's probably still true

[23:02] today the rich man requests Abraham to

[23:05] send him to his family he says I pray

[23:07] thee therefore he's begging he's

[23:10] requesting that Abraham do that Abraham

[23:12] said in verse 29 they have Moses and the

[23:15] prophets let them hear them he said nay

[23:18] Father Abraham but if one went unto them

[23:20] from the dead they will repent and he

[23:23] said unto them if they hear not Moses

[23:25] and the prophets neither will they be

[23:27] persuaded the one rose from the

[23:32] dead Jesus sharing this account recounts

[23:36] to us that there are lost people praying

[23:41] for their lost family

[23:44] members want you to think about that for

[23:46] a moment lost

[23:49] people

[23:51] requesting for

[23:53] somebody to go to their lost family

[23:59] when you and I have a burden to pray for

[24:02] Souls it ought to be more than what the

[24:05] Lost are

[24:06] praying there are people right now in

[24:09] torments there are people right now in

[24:12] the fire there are people right now that

[24:15] are

[24:17] remembering and they know they can do

[24:19] nothing about their

[24:21] situation they cannot change their place

[24:25] in hell but they would request for their

[24:28] family not to go there they'd request

[24:32] that so the Lost are praying now let's

[24:35] pause and consider that for a moment

[24:39] there are lost people who died on a

[24:42] foreign Mission field praying for a

[24:45] missionary to come to their lost

[24:49] family there are people in the city of

[24:52] eleno and Yukon and Mustang and the

[24:55] surrounding areas that are praying

[24:59] that have died and are in hell that are

[25:01] begging for someone to go to their lost

[25:06] family have you prayed for the people of

[25:08] eleno that are

[25:11] lost or have the lost people out prayed

[25:16] us we ought to be praying for Souls so

[25:21] we ought to be reminded that the Lost

[25:23] are praying there is a request here from

[25:26] this rich man and Jesus Jesus would not

[25:28] have recorded it for us if it wasn't

[25:31] important for us to

[25:33] consider his immediate response of after

[25:36] realizing he cannot get out is to pray

[25:40] for his family because he doesn't want

[25:41] his family to go

[25:43] there hell is a real place it's got real

[25:46] fire it's got real pain it's got real

[25:49] torment the Lost are praying there so

[25:54] the Lost are praying for someone to come

[25:57] and sh sh the truth now Abraham responds

[26:00] have Moses and the prophets that was

[26:02] their word of

[26:04] God have Moses and the prophets let them

[26:06] hear

[26:08] them did you see that last three word

[26:11] last two

[26:12] words hear

[26:16] them not just read them but hear them it

[26:23] is an element that requires somebody

[26:26] else telling them what Moses and the

[26:30] prophets

[26:32] said the Lost are

[26:35] praying then he asked nay father but if

[26:38] one went unto them from the dead they

[26:40] will repent and he said to them if they

[26:42] hear not if they hear not if they hear

[26:47] not Moses and the prophets neither will

[26:50] they be persuaded though one rose from

[26:52] the dead possibly even speaking to

[26:54] Jesus's future

[26:56] resurrection and people still

[26:59] unbelieving even though he resurrected

[27:01] from the

[27:03] dead the lost people are praying for

[27:05] souls are they praying more than you're

[27:07] praying for

[27:08] Souls turn in your Bibles to Matthew

[27:11] chapter number

[27:13] nine Matthew chapter number nine

[27:19] tonight Matthew chapter nine we're going

[27:22] to pick up reading in verse number

[27:25] 37 of Matthew chapter number n

[27:35] we'll go back to verse 35 just so we can

[27:37] get all the context here Matthew 9:35

[27:41] and Jesus went about all the cities and

[27:43] Villages teaching in their synagogues

[27:45] and preaching the gospel of the kingdom

[27:47] and healing every sickness and every

[27:49] disease among the people but when he saw

[27:52] the multitudes he was moved with

[27:54] compassion on them because they fainted

[27:57] and were scatter scattered abroad as

[27:59] sheep having no Shepherd then saith he

[28:03] unto his disciples the Harvest truly is

[28:06] plenteous there's a lot of unsaved

[28:10] people

[28:11] but the

[28:14] laborers are

[28:18] few the verse doesn't end there the

[28:22] punctuation continues the thought pray

[28:25] ye therefore the Lord of the Harvest

[28:30] that he will send forth

[28:33] laborers into his Harvest when we're

[28:38] praying for Souls the Lost are praying

[28:41] but also we need to be praying for

[28:43] Laborers need to be praying for Laborers

[28:46] for people to

[28:48] go we ought to pray like the Lost pray

[28:51] for the lost people but we ought to pray

[28:54] for Laborers to

[28:57] go we ought to pray for Laborers to go

[28:59] to

[29:00] eleno we ought to pray for Laborers to

[29:02] go to Yukon we ought to pray for

[29:04] Laborers to go to Oklahoma City we ought

[29:06] to pray for Laborers they go to the

[29:08] United States and all across the world

[29:11] we ought to pray for

[29:14] Laborers ain't it interesting he didn't

[29:17] just say pray that the people be saved

[29:19] but pray for

[29:20] Laborers he's talking to his disciples

[29:24] the first church and he says to them

[29:27] pray for

[29:32] Laborers are you praying for

[29:35] Laborers are you praying for somebody to

[29:39] go now if you're going to pray for

[29:42] Laborers you might be must you must be

[29:46] willing to say and if the laborer be I

[29:49] Here I Am Lord send me just as Isaiah

[29:54] said in Isaiah chapter 6 so praying for

[29:57] Laborers if you're if you're going to

[29:58] pray for Souls on purpose you got to

[30:00] pray for the lost and you got to pray

[30:02] for

[30:03] Laborers so Matthew 9 it tells us to

[30:06] pray for Laborers go to Acts chapter

[30:10] number

[30:12] 16 Acts chapter number

[30:21] 16 Acts chapter number 16 verse number

[30:24] six when you get there say Amen

[30:28] acts

[30:29] 166 now when they had gone throughout

[30:32] peria and the region throughout of in

[30:35] the region of galatia and were forbidden

[30:38] of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in

[30:42] Asia after they were come to Mya they

[30:45] assayed to go into bethenia but the

[30:47] spirit suffered them not and they

[30:50] passing by Mia came down to traz and a

[30:55] vision appeared to Paul in the night

[30:56] there stood a man of of Macedonia and

[30:59] prayed him saying come over into

[31:03] where Macedonia and help us and after he

[31:08] had seen the vision immediately we

[31:09] endeavored to go into Macedonia

[31:12] assuredly Gathering that the Lord had

[31:14] called

[31:15] us I want you to think about that for a

[31:18] moment the Apostle Paul and his

[31:21] missionary Journeys they want to go to

[31:24] an area and God says

[31:26] no not there

[31:29] not

[31:30] yet not part of my

[31:33] plan not yet there's another area God

[31:37] says nope not yet not

[31:41] there and then God gives him a

[31:44] vision of a place called

[31:49] Macedonia the Lost are praying and we

[31:51] ought to pray for the Lost we ought to

[31:54] pray for Laborers but did you know also

[31:56] there are locations

[31:58] that are praying for

[32:00] people there are locations and regions

[32:04] that are praying for

[32:07] someone throughout Oklahoma we consider

[32:10] ourselves part of the Bible Belt and

[32:13] there's a lot of churches in Oklahoma

[32:16] but did you know there are many towns

[32:18] that have no Bible preaching Church in

[32:23] them there are some people that are in

[32:26] locations throughout the United states

[32:28] that are praying for somebody to

[32:32] come bring a church and bring the gospel

[32:35] to

[32:36] them here Macedonia was

[32:39] praying God revealed to Paul in a vision

[32:43] that there was a Macedonian man said

[32:45] come over and help us come unto

[32:49] Macedonia were there lost people in Mya

[32:52] yes were there lost people in bethenia

[32:54] yes were there lost people in traz yes

[32:58] but God wanted Paul

[33:00] there at that

[33:03] place so he went to that place there are

[33:06] locations that are praying for people

[33:08] when we're praying for Souls we ought to

[33:10] pray for

[33:11] locations we ought to pray for cities we

[33:14] ought to be praying for the locations

[33:17] that God would send somebody there there

[33:20] are lost people there there need to be

[33:22] laborers there and we're praying for

[33:26] locations we have missionaries going all

[33:28] throughout the world we've got a

[33:29] missionary coming this month going to

[33:31] the field of Japan we'll get to see

[33:33] brother Parker and his family later on

[33:35] this month I had an overload of

[33:38] missionary packets the last three days I

[33:41] spent yesterday going through about

[33:43] eight different missionary packets and

[33:45] when I say missionary packet they send

[33:47] me their doctrinal statement and their

[33:48] sending church and where they're going

[33:50] and what they're call is and uh was

[33:53] going through all of them yesterday and

[33:56] uh some of them didn't make the

[33:58] cut some of them send us their packet

[34:01] and they don't believe what we believe

[34:02] so we're not having them

[34:04] in and some of them I got to talk to

[34:08] them because the way they said things is

[34:10] confusing so I got some phone calls to

[34:13] make to follow up with them if they

[34:16] really believe what they say they

[34:18] believe because if they really believe

[34:20] what they say they believe they're not

[34:22] coming

[34:23] here and so there there's that process

[34:26] that happens

[34:28] well there's a lot of

[34:30] places that need the

[34:32] gospel one missionary will be having in

[34:35] August God has called him to minister

[34:38] through the Rock of Ages prison ministry

[34:41] he's a bilingual individual and he has

[34:45] God's placed upon his heart and the

[34:47] state of New Mexico has opened up that

[34:50] he can go into the prisons in New Mexico

[34:53] and preach the

[34:55] gospel he sent me his back it was

[34:58] talking with him on the phone yesterday

[35:00] and there is over

[35:05] 174,000 Hispanic prisoners within an

[35:08] eight hour drive of where he's going to

[35:10] be moving to not only did the state open

[35:13] up for the prisons there in New Mexico

[35:16] but also Arizona also in Texas they're

[35:19] going to let him go in fact when he's

[35:21] with us at the end of August he'll be

[35:23] coming off three weeks of being in the

[35:25] prisons in Texas preaching Revival

[35:27] meetings in Texas to the prisoners they

[35:29] can't go anywhere so he's going to

[35:32] them so I have opportunity to do that

[35:36] but he was also informed that the

[35:39] detention centers the deportation

[35:41] detention centers they're also going to

[35:43] let him come

[35:47] preach that's interesting what God can

[35:50] do isn't it so God sending him to New

[35:53] Mexico he'll be with us and then uh be

[35:56] in Albuquerque the foll week and God is

[35:58] opening up doors for him so we're

[36:01] excited you know sometimes you would say

[36:02] well I didn't know that that there Souls

[36:04] that are there in the

[36:06] prison and God opens up the doors for

[36:09] them to get in so there's locations we

[36:11] have a missionary coming that's going to

[36:13] Japan we have another one that's coming

[36:15] that's starting a church in Minnesota uh

[36:18] later on this year we've got another one

[36:20] coming that's going to another region of

[36:21] the world all of these people there's

[36:23] locations that need the

[36:25] Lord people that need to be saved and we

[36:28] ought to be praying you ought to pray

[36:30] for the missionaries you ought to pray

[36:32] for the locations that are

[36:34] there let me tell you what a missionary

[36:37] desires it's found in 1 Thessalonians

[36:39] chapter 5 take your Bibles and turn

[36:42] there first Thessalonians chapter number

[36:51] five 1 Thessalonians chapter 5 verse

[36:55] number 25 the Apostle Paul right into

[36:57] the church Church of

[37:00] thessalonica wrote four words in this

[37:04] verse Brethren pray for us Paul the

[37:10] church planner Paul who we call the

[37:11] first major missionary that missionary

[37:14] ask us to pray for them every missionary

[37:17] we've ever had in what do they all say

[37:19] pray for us pray for us if you're going

[37:23] to pray for Souls you pray for the lost

[37:25] you pray for Laborers you pray for

[37:27] location and you pray for the

[37:29] missionaries by the way a missionary is

[37:31] anybody that knows Jesus Christ as their

[37:33] savior Mission field is anybody who

[37:35] doesn't know Jesus Christ as their

[37:37] savior so you ought to pray for one

[37:39] another you've got a mission field at

[37:42] your job location God put you

[37:45] there you ought to be praying for the

[37:47] ones in our church family that work in

[37:50] different areas because God put them

[37:52] there but praying for Souls must be on

[37:58] purpose won't happen

[38:01] accidentally it's got to be on

[38:04] purpose so if you're going to pray for

[38:06] Souls if you're going to pray for the

[38:08] lost if you're going to pray for labors

[38:09] if you're going to pray for locations if

[38:11] you're going to pray for the

[38:12] missionaries that are in locations that

[38:14] you know you got to take some keys to

[38:17] praying on purpose so here's some keys

[38:19] for you number one a

[38:23] time you've got to have a time if you

[38:27] don't make time you will run out of time

[38:31] so you have to have a time so set aside

[38:35] a time to

[38:36] pray a time to pray number two a key on

[38:40] onp purpose praying is a place a place

[38:44] that you can get alone with God free

[38:46] from distractions if you're going to on

[38:48] purpose pray for Souls if you're going

[38:50] to on purpose pray for Laborers if

[38:52] you're going to on purpose pray for

[38:54] locations you got to have a place

[38:57] where you can get

[38:59] Alone number three you have to have an

[39:06] attitude an attitude of prayer is

[39:10] important got to have an

[39:12] attitude you can't

[39:15] just nonchalantly go praying for

[39:21] Souls I've described it sometimes you

[39:23] got to put a face to the

[39:25] flame if you're going to pray for Souls

[39:28] you got to put a face to the Flames of

[39:32] hell because it'll do something to your

[39:35] heart when you're

[39:38] praying you got to put a face to the

[39:40] flames you got to you got to you got to

[39:42] think about the laborers there's

[39:45] people and you might need to be like

[39:47] Isaiah and say here am I Lord send me

[39:51] Lord if you want me to go I'm willing to

[39:53] go Lord here am i s you got to have an

[39:56] attitude when it comes to praying so the

[39:59] keys to onp purpose pray you got a time

[40:02] you got a place you have an attitude and

[40:06] number four you got to have a

[40:10] prayer you say what do you mean by that

[40:12] well I'm glad you brought it up you got

[40:14] to have a prayer number one under that

[40:18] be

[40:19] specific you know a need pray for a need

[40:23] be specific if you're going to pray for

[40:26] Souls don't just go

[40:28] Lord save the lost people of the world

[40:31] that's not enough if you got a name name

[40:34] the person if you know a need be

[40:41] specific if you're going to pray for

[40:44] Laborers if you know a

[40:46] need be

[40:50] specific pray Lord we need

[40:53] this pray for that

[40:58] amen if you know there's a need for

[41:01] another Sunday school teacher or a need

[41:02] for another bus driver or another bus

[41:04] worker another this or another that pray

[41:07] for it be specific if you know of a need

[41:11] pray for it if you know there's a region

[41:14] there's this thing called the 1040

[41:16] window it's a whole na area of latitude

[41:19] and longitude where most of the world's

[41:22] population live and it has the least

[41:25] amount of missionaries

[41:29] there's a need

[41:30] there so pray for it fact I think if you

[41:34] Google it you can find the 1040 window

[41:37] prayer chart it's got all the nations

[41:39] listed that you could pray for it

[41:43] intentionally praying for Laborers be

[41:46] specific if you know a need pray for it

[41:48] if you know there's a town my wife and I

[41:51] are praying for T three towns in Indiana

[41:55] that are near where part of her family

[41:56] lives lives that does not have a good

[41:59] preaching Independent Baptist Church

[42:02] there and before the Lord sent us here I

[42:05] prayed for months that if it be the

[42:07] Lord's will that I go there and I start

[42:09] a church that the Lord would reveal it

[42:11] to me he said no not at this time I felt

[42:15] like the Macedonian call for the Apostle

[42:17] Paul there's a need there we could see

[42:20] the need there was a desire there from

[42:22] our hearts because there's a lot of

[42:24] family and extended family in one of the

[42:26] towns in particular Connorsville Indiana

[42:28] was a drug capital for the state of

[42:31] Indiana it's a terrible place there's a

[42:33] lot of drug activity but God had put a

[42:36] burden on heart we were praying for that

[42:38] town but God said no I felt like

[42:40] Paul you want me to go there and God

[42:42] said nope not

[42:44] there God had a different plan but that

[42:47] location still on my heart we still pray

[42:49] for a church to go there we still pray

[42:53] for that there's other regions around

[42:56] the world and around the United States

[42:59] there's no church there you go up into

[43:01] the Northwest part of our country

[43:04] there's certain States like Washington

[43:06] and Oregon and Montana and South Dakota

[43:10] and North Dakota you got to drive an

[43:12] hour and a half two hours just to get to

[43:14] a good preaching

[43:16] church can you imagine having to get up

[43:18] and leave your house at 7 o'clock in the

[43:20] morning just to get to church on

[43:24] time because there's nowhere else to

[43:29] go there's locations all across the

[43:32] United States that we ought to be

[43:33] praying

[43:36] for I don't know of anyone else from our

[43:41] location to Weatherford Oklahoma there's

[43:44] not a whole lot of gospel preaching

[43:47] churches in the distance between us and

[43:51] Weatherford there's a lot of people that

[43:53] live out there there's a lot of souls

[43:55] there guess what we're praying for those

[43:59] locations there's a guy up in Wanga

[44:01] right now trying to start a church in

[44:05] Wanga there's not a whole

[44:08] lot there's a lot of

[44:11] souls you think about some of the

[44:13] regions and the strongholds that are

[44:16] there you think about King Fisher and

[44:18] the Catholic church and the power it's

[44:21] got over King Fisher

[44:24] Oklahoma there's people there that need

[44:26] the

[44:27] Lord you really want to pray for

[44:29] locations you ought to get a map of

[44:31] eleno put a pen in the middle and look

[44:33] at the surrounding towns and pray for

[44:35] the people in all those

[44:40] locations because they need a Bible

[44:42] preaching

[44:44] church or they have to drive

[44:48] here we ought to pray for those

[44:50] locations be specific if you know a need

[44:53] that 1040 window of countries there's

[44:55] huge amounts of population of the world

[44:57] and there's no Baptist no Bible

[45:00] preaching gospel preaching missionaries

[45:03] there we ought to pray for those

[45:05] countries God would open them up number

[45:09] two under the prayer be

[45:12] Earnest filled with

[45:15] desire don't just go through the motions

[45:18] of praying there is a difference between

[45:22] praying prayers and actually praying

[45:28] we can recite prayers

[45:31] easily but if we actually want to pray

[45:34] to the

[45:35] Lord it involves every part of our

[45:39] being we talked about that last week but

[45:43] when you're praying for Souls be Earnest

[45:46] be filled with

[45:49] desire if you're praying for lost people

[45:51] and you've got a face to the Flames it

[45:54] ought to move you while you're

[45:57] praying it ought not to be automatic it

[46:00] ought not to be going through the

[46:02] motions it ought to move you when you

[46:05] pray for the lost

[46:09] people be Earnest be filled with

[46:14] desire number three under that prayer be

[46:19] consistent don't just pray for it once

[46:23] be consistent

[46:27] onp purpose praying you could take those

[46:29] three areas and apply it to any other

[46:32] onp purpose praying be specific if you

[46:35] know a need pray for it be Earnest a

[46:39] filled with desire be

[46:43] consistent praying for

[46:46] Souls

[46:48] requires a soul to

[46:53] pray a saved soul will pray for life

[46:56] lost

[47:02] souls when we consider the

[47:05] Lost does it affect

[47:09] you it's easy when we just say

[47:13] lost but it gets a little more personal

[47:16] when there's a

[47:18] name I had an exciting thing happen

[47:21] yesterday I got a text from my wife and

[47:25] my niece and

[47:28] uh another young girl uh got saved

[47:32] yesterday we've been praying for her in

[47:35] fact Nathan's been praying for his

[47:36] cousin to get saved so he was super

[47:39] excited that she got saved because he'd

[47:41] been praying for

[47:43] that my wife and I have been praying for

[47:45] that we're excited to hear

[47:49] that but when you pray for the lost if

[47:53] you have a face and you have a name

[47:58] don't you think it would help you be

[48:00] more

[48:01] sincere in praying and more consistent

[48:05] in your prayer life if you put a face to

[48:09] the

[48:10] flame if you know that co-workers

[48:13] lost don't just pray Lord save my lost

[48:17] coworker name their

[48:20] name mention their name to the

[48:23] Lord be specific

[48:28] mention their name Lord I pray that they

[48:29] get saved now you're praying for

[48:31] Laborers Lord if it be possible send me

[48:33] to them this

[48:35] week Lord I pray that you'd work it out

[48:38] at work today that they'd end up sitting

[48:40] with me during my break time and I could

[48:42] talk to them now you're praying for a

[48:46] location God wants to make you the

[48:48] missionary to go to that lost cooworker

[48:51] you need a time and a place need an

[48:54] attitude and the prayer

[48:57] be specific be Earnest filled with

[49:00] desire be consistent take your Bibles to

[49:04] Matthew chapter

[49:07] 7 Matthew chapter

[49:18] 7 Matthew chapter 7 in verse number

[49:24] seven Matthew chapter 7 and verse number

[49:29] seven

[49:30] ask and it shall be given you seek and

[49:35] you shall find knock and it shall be

[49:39] opened unto you for everyone that asketh

[49:43] receiveth and he that seeketh

[49:45] findeth and to him that no knocketh it

[49:48] shall be

[49:49] open or what man is there of you whom if

[49:53] his son ask bread will he give him a

[49:56] service

[49:58] or excuse me give him a stone or if he

[50:00] ask a fish will he give him a serpent if

[50:02] ye then being evil know how to give good

[50:05] gifts unto your children how much more

[50:09] shall your father which is in heaven

[50:11] give good things to them that ask

[50:18] him ask

[50:20] seek knock are all action words

[50:28] ask seek knock

[50:32] a ask seek

[50:37] knock God wants you and I to

[50:42] pray I had a man asked you one time well

[50:45] if he knows what I'm going to pray for

[50:46] and he knows how he's going to answer

[50:48] the prayer then why should I even bother

[50:50] praying if he knows what he's going to

[50:52] do because he told us

[50:55] to he said pray pray without

[50:58] ceasing he said ask seek and knock it's

[51:03] an encouragement to pray God

[51:07] hears God

[51:10] responds keep asking keep seeking keep
