Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Faith and Prayer: Clarifying the Connection

• Faith Comes by Hearing the Word, Not by Prayer (Romans 10:17)
  • Faith is birthed by hearing the Word; however, prayer is an act of faith—a way faith is expressed and kept alive.
  • “Faith doesn’t come by prayer… faith cometh by hearing and hearing the Word of God… but prayer is a work of faith.” (B, 00:21)
• Prayer as an Action of Faith (James 2:17–26)
  • Faith “without works is dead”; prayer is one key “work” or action of faith.
  • Many believers struggle or give up because of a lack of prayer—which means a lack of acting in faith.
  • “If you’re not praying, you’re not acting on the Word.” (B, 01:45)
  • “Prayer is an action of faith. Faith without action is dead.” (B, 08:21)

2. Persistence in Prayer and Faith

• Parable of the Persistent Widow (Luke 18:1–8)
  • Jesus taught the need for persistent prayer—not quitting or “fainting.”
  • The “spirit of boldness” in the believer is stoked by continual prayer.
  • “If we’re not praying, this is what we are—a coward. We’re not supposed to, because God has given us the spirit of boldness!” (B, 04:25)
  • “Persistent faith is connected to the one that is persistent in prayer. Faith is strength—it never quits.” (B, 06:50)
  • Jesus asks, “When the Son of man comes, will he find persistent faith?” (B, 05:28)

3. Jesus as the Model for Prayer

• Praying for Specific Guidance (Luke 6:12–13)
  • Jesus spent “all night in prayer” before choosing the twelve apostles—a demonstration of reliance on the Father and seeking precise divine direction.
  • “He prayed all night until he got all the details of the plan of God for his life.” (B, 13:40)
  • This act had eternal consequences, as the apostles’ names are set in heaven.
• Application: Christians Need Detail from God in Prayer
  • Pastor Ramos uses the example of a medical student needing years of study—to illustrate the importance of “precision” in spiritual life, gained through prayer.

4. Prayer in Spiritual Discernment and Direction

• Receiving Details and Revelation Through Persistent Prayer
  • God doesn’t reveal all at once, but bit by bit as we persist in prayer.
  • Lack of continued prayer leads to error or spiritual “delay.”
  • “I made so many mistakes… because of my lack of continuously spending time with God to get the precise plan.” (B, 19:04)
  • Experience: It took Pastor Ramos a month of prayer to receive his ministry calling.

5. Scriptural Instructions for Prayer

• Ephesians 6:18: Instruction to ‘Pray Always’
  • Prayer is a daily habit and spiritual discipline, with specific kinds (supplication, intercession, etc.).
  • Praying “in the Spirit” means praying led by the Holy Spirit, which brings revelation.
  • “The more you act your faith through prayer, the more you will see things in your spirit.” (B, 25:59)
  • Dad Hagin’s and Pastor Nancy’s teachings on prayer are recommended.

6. Thanksgiving and Confession as Prayer

• Thanksgiving as Act of Faith
  • Speaking the promises of God and thanking Him is a key part of prayer.
  • “Thanksgiving is an act of prayer. Thanksgiving is an act of faith.” (B, 35:47)
  • Scriptural confession: Praying scriptures like “my family is kept by the power of God” (1 Peter 1:5), or “all my needs are supplied” (Philippians 4:19).

7. Praying for Others and Their Return to God

• Power of Persistent Intercessory Prayer
  • Personal testimony of praying for loved ones off track—using scriptural prayers (Ephesians 1:17, 3:16)—bringing genuine change.
  • “We didn’t even announce to them we’re praying… but I know that the Holy Ghost is working in their heart.” (B, 44:36)
• Encouragement Not to Give Up
  • Keep praying; God will move in His way, even when change isn’t immediately seen.
  • “Heaven will move in your behalf. Angels will… do whatever it takes to answer your prayer.” (B, 47:23)

8. Prophetic Encouragement and Specific Words

• Insight About the Times
  • Despite global crises (e.g., the pandemic), Christians can receive peace and confidence about the future through prayer.
  • “Good things are ahead. Great move of the Holy Ghost is coming.” (B, 36:57)
• Spontaneous Words of Knowledge & Prophecy [50:57–53:32]
  • Healings (blood disease, bleeding ulcers, depression lifted)
  • Wayward children returning to God
  • New job/supply for those who persist in prayer
  • “Your son is coming home… Those mothers praying for their children—they’re coming home.” (B, 51:43)

Transcript

[A]

Hi, I'm Nancy Dufresne. Welcome to our podcast channel. We know you'll be blessed by today's message.

[B]

Good morning, everyone. And I will take this opportunity again to thank my, our dear pastor for giving me this opportunity to minister in this prayer conference. And tonight, this morning, I'm going to minister in line with faith in prayer. You know, we're going to start in the Word of God. Let's start with Luke chapter 18, and let's begin our study there. Now we know for a fact that faith doesn't come by prayer. We know that. We're making clear of that, that faith doesn't come by prayer. For faith cometh by hearing, as Romans 10:17 said, for faith cometh by hearing and hearing the Word of God. But also we're going to see here that faith without work is dead. And we know for a fact that prayer is a work of faith because the Bible says praying always. So we're going to look at some scripture there. When we look at the Word of God telling us what to do, what to act on the Word of God, that's the work of prayer. I mean, that's the work of faith. So the Word of God primarily is full of the instruction of the work in our faith life. So we're going to see here because the thing with prayer without work is dead. So we're going to look at some of those scriptures because this meeting is primarily, we're going to talk about prayer. And, you know, if we're not praying, we're not acting on the Word. Our prayer doesn't have work. We can have faith, but our faith can be dead. So we're going to see the connection of prayer because prayer doesn't bring, you know, faith cometh by hearing. You know, the Bible said that prayer doesn't. Faith doesn't come by prayer. But yet prayer is an act of faith. So when we're praying, Amen, our faith is not dead. Amen. So we're going to look at some scripture here. But first of all, let's look at what Jesus Christ, Lord Jesus Christ, said about prayer in Luke chapter 18. That's one of the scripture I'm going to read right now. And Luke chapter 18, Praise the Lord in verse one. And before I continued on teaching the Word, why don't we go ahead and pray? Because we needed the help of the Holy Ghost to teach us accurately. And the utterance, he will be the one giving it to me so I can minister to you. So let's pray right now. Dear Heavenly Father, we just worship youp. We just glorify your name and magnify your name. We thank you for the divine presence of the Holy Ghost in the midst of us and in us. Thank you for giving us the Holy Ghost. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for giving us your very own life that we have now the nature that you have the nature of a son. And because we are children, because we have your nature. The Father sent the Holy Ghost. Thank you, Holy Spirit, that by faith, because we can't see you with our naked eye, but we know by faith that you are in us and that we that you are the one that giving emphasis in our heart, leading us and witness in our spirit that we are the children of God. So we come to you tonight, Heavenly Father, and we thank you that you we have the wisdom of your word this morning. I thank you for utterance given by the Spirit.

[C]

Hallelujah.

[B]

In the name of Jesus. So let's look at Scripture here in verse one of Luke chapter 18. And he spake a parable unto them to this end that men ought always to pray and not faint. In the amplified it says here also Jesus told them a parable. This is the amplified version of verse one to the effect that they ought always to pray and not turn coward. Praise God. So if we're not praying, this is what we are, a coward. We're not supposed to because God has given us the spirit of boldness. But it comes in our prayer life. It says here or another thing about that is pain. We know that lose heart and give up. So many are giving up because lack of prayer. Amen. Lack of prayer. So and then we know for a fact that it talks about verse two here. But for the sake of time I'm just gonna go to verse eight about this. And the Lord Jesus Christ said, I tell you in he will defend and protect and avenge them speedily. The one that however, when the Son of man comes, will he find persistent in faith on the earth. Now we're going to see how the verse one and verse eight coming together. And in between that is the parable that he started saying that he said in a certain city there was a judge in verse 2 who neither reverenced and feared God, nor respected or considered man. And there was a widow in that city who kept coming to him and saying, protect and defend and give me justice against my adversary. And for a time he would not. But later he said to himself, though I have neither reverence or fear for God, nor respect or consideration for man, yet because this widow continues to bother me, I will defend and protect and avenge her, lest she give me intolerable annoyance and wear me out by her continual coming, or at the last she come and rail on me, or assault me, or strangle me. Then the Lord said, listen to what the unjust judge says. And will not our just God defend and protect and avenge his elect, his chosen ones who cry to him day and night? Will he defer them and delay help on their behalf? So he was talking about a parable, talking about the unjust man. But the thing, what I'm saying here, if you continue, the Bible said praying always we're going to look at some those scriptures. But it connects here in verse 8 about faith. It connects here that if you are not, if you continue and always insist not and continue to pray, it connect here on the persistent in your faith. Now it says here on his coming, he's expecting persistent faith. Amen. In his coming. His coming is very, very soon in our time now. Amen. All of us that are always in the spirit, you can hear him say to our spirit. But persistent faith is connected to the one that persistent in prayer. In fact, faith is strength, faith is courage. It's not cowardice. Faith never quit. Amen. Faith, they never faint. You can see even in our Christian world, there are so many that quit with regards to faith. But if you check on their life, the lack of prayer is the lack of fellowshipping with God. Now I'm just gonna continue on here about the book of James. Here in James, chapter 2, verse 17. Let's talk a little bit of faith for right now. So now we can see here we know that, that when you're praying, Amen.

[C]

Hallelujah.

[B]

When you're praying, you're acting, you're acting faithful. Faith without action is dead. Now, James 2, 17, the book of James, let's look at the scripture, because James, the book of James talks about prayer too. And the book of James, chapter two, it says here, chapter two, verse 17. Let's go to verse 17. I'm just going to look at some of this scripture. Let's start with. Now let's start with verse 14, James 2, it said, what do it profit, my brethren? Though a man say he hath faith and had not works, can faith save him? Now also it says here. Now look at this. And also it says here James, chapter 2, verse 20. But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without work is dead? Faith without work is dead. So let's move on here. Amen. It says here, let's look to verse 26. For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without work is dead also. Now, as we looked at the scripture earlier In Luke chapter 18, the Lord Jesus Christ is pertaining in verse one, that men ought not to quit on praying. They always have to pray. Now that word that the Lord Jesus Christ was saying is a command of God. That word is an action of our faith. Because in the Bible God will give us the word of faith, but he will also, amen, give us the action towards the word he's given. So if the Bible was saying to us that prayer, cease not to pray. And we're going to see the importance of why we have to pray always. We will continue and we will look at the life of our Lord Jesus Christ even on the earth. Because when he came into the earth, he became a man. He took all, everything that being a God and put on humanity. He has to rely on the Holy Ghost. He didn't do anything to humanity per se until he was 30 years old. And he was anointed by God to preach the gospel. He needed the anointing just like any one of us. He cannot do anything without the anointing. We will see some of the things that the Lord Jesus Christ, because he lived precisely, he lived with purpose. Amen. He knows the plan of God for his life, but yet every day of his life he was praying. And I'm just gonna look up one occasion here about the Lord Jesus Christ. Because the Lord Jesus Christ is really like what Paul said, follow me as I follow Christ. Our main, our main great example, our following is the Lord Jesus Christ himself. Why does he ask to pray? Now there's, there's one instances here because in our time now we need a precise plan that God has for each and every one of us. You know, today's society, we know we are in a hurry. I believe there's something about prayer today that is a must, that we need to pray daily so we can know the plan that God has for us. But Jesus, it says here in Luke chapter. Let's go back again to Luke chapter chapter six, verse 12. Luke chapter six, verse 12. Amen. Luke chapter six. Let's go to Luke chapter six, verse 12. And we can look at this scripture here about the result of the prayer of our Lord Jesus Christ. Let's go to, let's go to verse 12. Let's start with verse 12. And it came to pass in those days that he went out into a mountain to pray and continued all night in prayer to God. Continued all night. Now look at this in verse 13, I don't know how long he spent, but it's all night. Now, you can't do this without faith. Amen. You cannot do this by the flesh. We will not last all night. But it says here when verse 13 said, and when it was day, when it was day, he called unto him his disciples and and of them he choose 12 whom he also named apostles. Now, at that time, Amen. Now, Jesus, if it's automatic, if it is God, he doesn't need to pray because God is all knowing. But you can tell he put on humanity. He needs to rely on the Father all night to be precise on the plan of God, be precise on the action that he has to take. Now notice here, he prayed all night. Amen. Until he got all the details of the plan of God for his life. And we're going to look at some scripture in the New Testament why God said, why the Scripture is telling us by faith, the action of faith that we have to do. When it says praying always, that's the action we have to do. Amen. To keep our faith alive. So it says here, Amen. It says here that he prayed all night. Now verse 13 said, and when it was day, he called unto his disciples, and of them he choose the 12 whom he also named apostles. Of course, we know all those 12, 14. Now that's the result of his praying that day. But we know for a fact in the book of Revelation that Revelation is that this is eternity, that there will be 12 apostles named amen in heaven. So he prayed out Amen what John saw in the book of Revelation. He prayed out, what's eternity? He prayed out the plan of God which will be. It's a big deal. It is not a small deal, but you know, it takes all night. Can you imagine one night, one night of him giving in prayer the details of the plan of God, the details of what ahead, the details of the action he must take, the details of every one of them that was named by God given to him. Who are those 12? Amen was given to him. Now, today we're just in a hurry and we're doing things because our situation right now, we're going to study more about our situation. It takes details. Now sometimes I'm not, we're not trying to be. We're not trying to be, you know, trying to, you know, we're not trying to be, you know, putting so much on principle here. I'm telling you the truth. The Bible said in First John, chapter two, verse 27, Amen, we have the anointing from the Holy One and we know all things. Now. We have a brother in our church who's studying to become a medical doctor. He only got maybe less than two years, about two years to finish his degree and he will be a medical doctor. And I asked him after that, what are you going to do? Well, I have to specialize and probably will take me two more years. He's about eight years now studying to be a medical doctor. Now, why does he have to do that? Because you cannot come to a doctor and operate you and say, you know, I need operation. The medical doctor said, well, we'll check it out. Guess what? Maybe we'll take one of his limbs. Maybe we'll do that. You don't want to go to a doctor like that. You want a doctor that's precise, right? But when it comes to prayer, we don't want that. Praise God. The more you pray, the more you get details of the plan of God for your life. And that's what the Lord Jesus Christ said. Because the plan of God has already been, you know, prepared before the foundation of the world. We already know the outcome. Amen. God already knows the outcome. What's going on with our society today. He already knows the outcome of this. It is in the word of God. And today, people in the world that are in the dark after, you know, this, this thing that's going on right now in the world right now is. It is not done after this, you know, we know that this, this thing will, will go away. But after it goes away, society, something has changed now. And the world right now, they're not only afraid of what's going on with this virus, they're also afraid after the virus because they don't know what to do. But as Christians, Amen. We should know, we should know what's, what's ahead of us. We should go beyond what we are seeing now in the natural. And we're going to go to the word of God. That's why we need to pray, because prayer and you know, you know, in my experience in prayer, when you pray, God will not give you all the details right away. Amen. You know, because. And then as you pray, he'll give you another. As you pray, he'll give you another. Until everything that you need to know in some of those situations will, will be precise according to his will and according to his plan, and you act upon those things that he already told you and revealed to you. Amen. It will always come out perfect in our ministry. I know God called us back in 1995. It took me a month of prayer and just to know that I have a calling. I didn't know I have a calling in the fivefold ministry gift. I didn't know that. And in my own natural mind I don't want to be preaching in front of a lot of people. But you know, after a month of praying and seeking God, he said, you have a call in the ministry. And that's all I know. But I don't know what to do with ministry. I don't know what you know. I didn't know about five fold ministry gift much at the time. I don't know all the details. But you know what? I was not precise in my spending time with God to know the details of what God has planned. So I made so many mistakes. And because of those mistakes, some of the things that we should be ahead, we began to, you know, got stranded a little bit delayed a little bit. Amen. Went through a lot of in ministry, went through a lot of hardship financially and many other things. We should not be. But because of my lack of continuously spending time with God to get the precise plan that God has for me, you know, what happened is we suffered, not only me, but my family. And so I learned my lesson. And this is what the Lord is laying in my heart to minister to you this morning and also tomorrow morning, of course, Pastor Nancy, you know, tomorrow night, I mean tonight and tomorrow night. So we should not stop hearing. So what I'm saying here, can you imagine that one night of prayer by the Lord Jesus Christ? I mean, establish eternity in the life of the apostles at that time, the apostle, the twelve apostles of the Lamb. Of course we know for a fact that one of them went astray. Amen. But Peter almost did. But the Lord Jesus Christ said, peter, I prayed for you. What's the difference between Peter and Judas? Because Peter stayed through, I mean he continued to stay stay around with his teacher. He continued to stay around with his master that knows everything. He doesn't know everything. But I just got to stay around. Not like Judas. Amen. He got his own deal. So the Lord Jesus Christ said, peter, I prayed for you that your faith will fail. Not see the connection of his prayer and the faith. Amen of Peter. So let's look at some scripture here that we have to look at some of the things that we're going to turn your Bible to. The book of Ephesians. Praise God. The book of Ephesians. Glory be to God. The book of Ephesians. Chapter 6. The Book of Ephesians, chapter 6. Praise God.

[C]

Hallelujah.

[B]

The Book of EphesiansS, chapter 6. Now in verse 18 of the Book of Ephesians, chapter six. Now this is the same church that was list that was in the book of Revelation that they're still doing the ministry, but they forget the first love. But if you notice here, they're not that kind of church then because somebody continued to pray for them. But the instruction of Paul, healed by the Spirit, it says in verse 18. Now this is the act of faith. Remember? Amen. That prayer is an action of faith. Because the Bible said. Amen. That we pray. Prayer is an action of faith. That's the reason why we just don't pray. Because many pray, but they don't have the word of God in them. Our prayer life as a Christian established in the word of God. Our prayer as a Christian is looking on God. God has all the details of our life. Always pray. Our prayer life is always connected to the plan of God for our life. Now notice here. Praying always, Praying always. So this is an instruction. This because the Bible is full of instructions. Amen or action of faith. Amen. So he said here, praying always. Praise God. Praying always. Why? Because we wanted to know the details of the plan of God for our life. Just like that example of that, brother, you know, as a medical doctor, you don't want to go to a doctor that is not precise, that is not, I should say, skill. Amen. That doesn't know the details of your body. You don't want to go to the surgery, that the doctor is a doctor that guess. You want to be a doctor that's precise, you know, you want to be a doctor that knows what he's doing. Amen. And it took them years to become skilled in their occupation, right? You don't want to go to a mechanic that is, I mean, maybe you say, well, that's a doctor. What do we talk about? A mechanic, you don't want to go a mechanic that just guessing what's going on with your engine. In fact, an engine has to be precise in every bit of those things in an engine for it to work, right? But those natural things, we want everything to be precise. But when it comes to our life as a Christian, you know, maybe I pray later on, maybe I'll do this. Maybe I don't pray at all. I just go to church, hear the word. But if we don't spend time in prayer, we will not be able to know exactly why we are here on this earth. Amen. So it says here, praying always. Now look at this. Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the spirit. So we see here that there's different kinds of prayer. Amen. Dad Hagin has a book, the Art of Prayer. We highly recommend that to you, Pastor Nancy. That's wonderful. A lot of good books, you know, about prayer. And I studied both of them. Because the reason why I'm teaching prayer to you right now, because a few years ago, we were in Iowa, and in the parking lot of that hotel, I was moving the vehicle and parking the vehicle, and God said to me, you know, I want you to teach prayer. I said, lord, what can I add to dad Hagin? What can I add to my pastor now? They're my teachers. And he said to me, no, you teach prayer by precept and example. So I'm just teaching you some of the things in the word of God tonight. But I'm. But I believe the spirit of prayer will come on us as we. And we're going to pray tonight. This morning, I should say, it said, praying always with all prayer and supplication in the spirit. And you know, this scripture, I was listening to dad Hagin one time that he heard from a man that is really proficient and very knowledgeable when it comes to Greek. Greek, you know, study of Greek. And of course, it was written in Greek. And that man said that supplication in the spirit, in the spirit means being the truth of it. The meaning of it is being led by the Spirit. Amen. Being led by the Spirit and watching, you know? And watching. Well, when you're watching something, you're seeing something. Now he's talking about in the spirit here. So you were going to see something. When you see something, you will know something. You will know things. Now, notice here it says, praying always. So we always, when we pray always, we're gonna see and we're gonna know revelations about our life, about our ministry, about what's ahead. Because we're not in heaven yet. We are here in this natural realm. We needed to be to get into the Spirit, to know details the same way that Jesus Christ, our Lord Jesus Christ, did. So it says here and watching, there are two. That means to say, the more you act, the more you act your faith through the avenue of prayer, the more you will see things in your spirit, the more you will hear details. So if you act on the word that was given to you by the Spirit of God, it will be perfect. The power of God will move in your life. Amen. To do Those things, because you hear it, know it. And when we know things in our heart, we call it faith. Because faith cometh by hearing and hearing the word of God. So when you're praying, Amen, you're acting in prayer. Your faith is in action through your prayer life. And then revelation will come into your spirit and details of things will be given to your spirit. So it's a seer that and watching so thereunto with all perseverance and supplications for all saints. That's what he was saying there. So we can act on that word tonight. Let's say we're going to pray. We're going to pray to the Father in the name of Jesus, and we're going to pray things with regards to the word of God. And God will give us some things in our spirit. I will just give you an example, a precept. Amen. With regards to this, this kind of prayer, now you know, and if you pray always, you will see things. Amen. In your spirit. That's what the Bible said. That's what. The same thing with the Lord Jesus Christ as he pray all night. I'm not saying you don't have to pray all night, but in the case of our Lord Jesus Christ, that night the Father gave him revelation. Amen. Give him revelation what God already has planned for the future. Praise God. That's why it says here, praying always. So let's pray for a moment here. Father, we just thankful for your word. We will act on your word as you have said, praying always. So we thank you. And we. Yes, Lord. Thank you, Father. Glorify your name and magnify your name. We thank you for your word.

[C]

Hallelujah.

[B]

Now, that's just an example. I'm seeing something in my spirit that's watching. You see something. You see something when you're praying. Amen. Praise God. You know, the Holy Ghost is beyond what we're seeing now in the natural. He's showing us what's ahead. So when you cooperate with the Holy Ghost. Amen. And whatever the Holy Ghost has lead you into prayer. Amen. Sometimes he leads you to worship the Father. Amen. Just spend time fellowshipping with the Father. Praise God. Sometimes he'll put into your spirit and then you speak it out.

[C]

Hallelujah.

[B]

You speak it out from your spirit because you're saying something now. This is the result when we are always in prayer, when we are always in communing with God.

[C]

Hallelujah.

[B]

This is the result of it. Amen. Praise God. So I'm saying something that beyond what we are experiencing now, it doesn't seem like it's like that. But God, the Holy Ghost, when He leads you into prayer, he'll give you revelation beyond what we're seeing now. Amen. Praise God. So let's move on here. Let's move on here. Right now in First Peter, you know, because of what's going on, the situation right now, many people are afraid, but we're not in First Peter, Chapter five of chapter one, verse five, that we are kept by the power of God through faith. So, you know, in prayer, you can go to the Word of God and you say, father, I thank you. Right? I thank you. Now you're acting. You're acting through prayer, your faith, right? But because you've seen in the Word of God.

[C]

Hallelujah.

[B]

That we are kept by the power of God. So when you speak that and pray that and amen. The power of God will begin to move in your life with regards to the Word of God. Amen. How you open, you do that, pray that every day, praying always with regards to the Word of God.

[C]

Hallelujah.

[B]

I've seen that in the Word. So I just said, father, I thank you that my household are kept by the power of God. I'm already thankful. Amen. Because I've seen it in the Word and through prayer, I'm acting my faith because the power of God is. Amen. Amen. We are kept by the power of God through faith. So prayer is an action of faith. Amen. So when I say that, Father, I thank you that my family are kept by the power of God, my church family are kept by the power of God.

[C]

Hallelujah.

[B]

We always pray for pastor that she is delivered from every wicked and unreasonable man. We say that all the time, but that's prayer. Why? Because. How do you do? We pray it by faith, because it's written in the word of God.

[C]

Hallelujah.

[B]

So I said, my family is kept by the power of God. My church family is kept by the power of God. Amen. So not only my church family in San Diego, but this is my church family too. We belong to this church. Pastor Nancy is our pastor. Amen. So we thank God that we are part of this local church. So I say, this is my family, and they're kept by the power of God. So we say that in prayer. Amen.

[C]

Hallelujah.

[B]

So, you know, you may have a need right now, you know, financial need, whatever. Maybe in the natural, you may be out of work, but you get into the word of God. Amen. And by faith, you prayed it out. Father, I thank you. Amen. That you are my God that supplies all our needs according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Amen. Thank you, Father. I have a supply. Because Thanksgiving, Amen. Is an act of prayer. Thanksgiving is an act of faith. Amen. Thanksgiving is an act of faith. You're acting it through prayer.

[C]

Hallelujah.

[B]

Praise God. You're acting it through prayer. So you just say, father, Amen. It means so much to the father. How often do you do that? Praying always. Praise God. Praying always. When you put that word in your heart, even what the Lord Jesus Christ said in John chapter 15, let's go there for a little bit. Amen. And then, so what I'm saying here, God already has the answer. So let's look at the word of God here in John chapter 15. Praise the Lord. Amen. So John chapter 15, let's look at. For the sake of time, let's just look at verse seven here. Yes, father. Thank you, lord. Yes, Lord. Yes, Lord. Yes, Lord. I see that, Lord. Yeah. Watching. Yes, Lord. I see that. My spirit. Yeah. Ha. Yeah. Oh, a great. A great. A great move. A great move of the Holy Ghost is coming. Oh, yes, Lord. Ho. Shape. This is what. Yes, Lord. Hallelujah. Yeah. Great move of the spirit. It's coming. It's coming. It's coming. In the name of Jesus. Coming. Oh, rejoice. Rejoice greatly, because good things is good things. Good things. Good things. Good things is coming. Oh, yes, Lord. Good things.

[C]

Hallelujah.

[B]

In the church. In the church. Good things. Yes, Lord.

[C]

Hallelujah.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, Lord, I'll continue teaching. Amen. Praise the Lord. Let's move on here. Amen. What is that? Well, the spirit of prayer came and you know, as we study, you started seeing things and you're watching thereunto now. Praise the Lord. Amen. That will not take place without just maybe I pray later on. Well, your faith without work is dead. Faith without work is dead. You may have faith, but faith without work is dead. Because amen with regards to prayer. And we don't act on the word of God with regards to praying. Amen. Then, because prayer is an action, word is an act of faith, then our spirit is dead with regards to those things. Amen. What I'm saying is no revelation. Amen. Amen. No revelation. No such thing as seeing things in your spirit. Amen. God is just using me as an example. I'm not better than you do. Amen. We are the same boat. We have the anointing from the Holy One. We know all things. We know all things. We know all the details. But that Word will not come to pass without acting on that word. So here, it says here in the. In the Word of God, here, verse 7. If you abide in me, if you abide in me. This is what the Lord Jesus Christ said. Amen. And my words abide in you. Well, we know that Amen. If we fellowship with the Lord. Because when we got born again, we got connected with him. We abide in him, our spirit. Right now, every born again believer, the Lord Jesus Christ, his divine nature is in us. And he said, and my words and my words abide in you. And it says here, you shall ask. You shall ask. See, that's action right there. Amen. We're born again, right? We're born again. We know the Word of God. If you look at the Word of God, this Word, the written words, is our spirit. The Bible said we are born again with incorruptible seed, the Word of God. But the thing is, our faith is dead. When we don't know the Word, we don't act on the Word of God. So therefore, amen. When you have the Word of God, like you study and you read the Word of God, you meditate on the Word of God. Meaning to say, you renew your mind with the Word of God. I mean, I'm not talking about just once in a while. We got to do this daily. Amen. It says here, and my words abide in you. The only matter in our prayer life is the Word that is in us. Amen. Because our prayer life, the acting of the Word of God, is based on the Word of God that's already in our heart. If it's in our heart, our prayer will not work because it's not based on the Word that sits in our heart. Amen. So you shall ask what you will. And you know, we know this, that if you keep speaking the Word of God, eventually the Word of God will get into your spirit. Amen. So he said there, you shall ask. And said, when the Word is in you, then you shall ask what you will. But it's easy to know and to will, Amen. Something in line with the Word of God. Because whatever word is in you, Amen. That is residence in you right now, your will will be connected to that word. Amen. Your action, your prayer life will be connected to the Word that is in your spirit. So it said here. You shall ask what you will, and it shall be done unto you. You shall ask. We still have to ask. We still have to release our faith. We release the word of faith that is in our heart. Amen. And we still have to ask that through the avenue of prayer. So, see, we're seeing again here that the faith, the word of faith in our heart needs to be acted on by asking it. But you just don't ask without the Word in your heart. For faith cometh by hearing and hearing the Word of God. So if you spend more time every day in prayer and fellowship with God, right, The Holy Ghost that is in us will begin to impart, will begin to show us the light of the Word of God to be resident. Glory be to God. I remember. I remember the time that I really need the help from God. And when I needed help, you know, I thank God for all men and women of God. We're surrounded by it. But the first thing I'll do, I go to God because he has the answer. We have our loved one very dear to me and my wife. And I know that they are out of the will of God and in the natural. They're facing great trouble ahead because of being away from the will of God. And I know for a fact that I cannot, we cannot, me and my wife, cannot tell them and pour and force them to get into the will of God. So I've been praying Ephesians 1:17. You know, it says here she's not to give thanks for you. And I pray that daily, no matter what, I always pray that prayer. Me and my wife, we know that for a fact because we learned it from Daddy again to our pastor about the importance of that prayer in the book of Episodes. And you know, we pray other prayers listed in the Epistle. But I so dearly love to pray that prayer. I long for that prayer always. I said, father, I thank you. I thank you. Because thanksgiving need not to cease in our heart. I remember hearing pastor said at that time in one of his teaching, he said, whatever you're not thankful for, you will lose it. Amen. And I kept that in my heart for years. For years, that word. So I said, lord, I cease not. No matter what I said, I cease not to pray. So. So the Holy Ghost said to me, son, give me a room to work on. Pray those prayers to them. And through that prayer, I will work in their life. Not forcing them, but because they're born again Christians, they have the love of God in their heart. They have the Holy Ghost in the spirit, and they have Jesus in their heart. They're born again, but yet their direction in life is not towards the plan of God. So I began to pray that prayer and I said, lord, I thank you. I thank you, Father, for the spirit of wisdom. I thank you. So I began to pray. The Holy Ghost told me, continue to pray that prayer. Amen. Praise the Lord. And you know what I said, Father? Strengthen them with might. Ephesians, chapter 3. I prayed that prayer too. Strengthen them with might by your spirit in their inner man. They don't know. They don't know we're praying. We didn't even announce to them we're praying for you. We didn't announce. We didn't even talk to them, force them or anything. But I know that the Holy Ghost in them, they don't probably even know that there's the Holy Ghost in them is working in their heart, not forcing them. Amen. But something in them is being strengthened. Their spirit is being strengthened by the Holy Ghost because we prayed for it. A lot of our brothers and sisters may not be able to pray, but you pray, you don't give up on them. Amen. So we began to pray through that prayer. And the Lord began to mourn. The Lord began to move in their spirit. And the Bible said, he will do a work in you to will and to do according to his good pleasure. Amen. They don't know. But through that prayer, God began to work in their lives. And suddenly, suddenly their life changed. Totally changed by the power of God. We cannot do that, but our Father can. But you know what? We didn't cease to pray. We didn't see until there's such point in time as I pray those prayers, God started giving me details of what's going to happen into their life. He gave me scriptures upon scriptures and one scripture he gave me. And I look at that scripture, son, this is going to be their future. And I began to pray those prayers that he gave to me. Details of their life. Amen. You know, we don't have any news what's going on with their life. But I'm telling you, one day, one day light came on in their spirit. They were in totally darkness with regards to God's plan for their life. But I just telling you, I was just telling you that word. Praying always. As long as we are praying always with regards to the Word that God already in our heart, dwelling in our spirit and not quit and not faint.

[C]

Hallelujah.

[B]

Heaven will move in your behalf. Angels will. God will do whatever it takes to answer your prayer. Amen. And you know, when he answers, miracles take place. Gifts of the Spirit will be in operation. However it takes, he will do it. He will do it for you. Because your faith, because he's hearing your faith through your prayer. Amen. He's watching. He's looking. He's seeing the action of your faith. He's seeing that your faith is alive. He's seeing that you are not quitting on your faith. Because he's seeing the action of your faith through your prayer life.

[C]

Hallelujah.

[B]

Glory be to God. Praise the Lord forevermore. Whatever you're facing right now, go to the word of God, get that word into your spirit and stay in that spirit daily. Look at that prayer. Because when you look at the Word of God, when your Word of God is in you, that Word of God is God himself. Your prayer is not focused on your problem. Your prayer is focused on him. Because he is the one that will answer your prayer. The answer to repair is not dependent on him because he's already in the notion to answer your prayer. But the thing is, it's on us now. So if you keep praying always, like the Lord Jesus Christ said, you will receive revelation of what's ahead. You will know what's ahead. Glory be to God.

[C]

Hallelujah.

[B]

And his plan will be unveiled to you. Oh my Lord in heaven. And you know what I'm Just using that as an example. Praise God. And you know what? Now the prayers of those loved ones we have is working in their life. They're going to the direction of what God has planned for them. I'll be honest with you. I tell you, I'm so excited. I'm so excited. Daily when we come home, we don't have fear. We don't have fear about all this virus, what's going on, because we know what's ahead. We know good things is ahead. So tomorrow morning, don't, don't, don't watch again. Because God has something more for me in my heart to teach you about prayer.
