Greet them, smile at them and say something. Bless them with. Tell them something from the Lord right to their hearts. Thank you, musicians. Thank you, technicians, sound guys, everybody. God bless you. Welcome to everyone online. I'd like to speak a message today on prayers that move the heavens. How many of you want to see the heavens open over your life? Prayers that move the heavens. I was privileged yesterday. I was invited to come and participate. I did some interviews and the communication media team are preparing a wonderful big documentary movie on the life and ministry not only of Pastor David Wilkerson, but on the celebrating soon in the next year, the 40th year, four decades of times Square Church. Can we give God praise for what he's done and what he will do? And because of me, coming here to preach 35, 37 years, every year, except for Covid years, and then also traveling all over the world with Pastor Dave and Pastor Carter, I was just sharing, they asked me to share some testimonies and then my perspective and I was reflecting on this message. Prayer that moves the heavens. Please, can we just stop for a second and realize again that if there is even a Times Square church, a church right here, 51st and Broadway, the crossroads of the world, proclaiming the gospel of Christ, it is because somebody prayed. Prayers that opened the heavens. Somebody pray. And so many hundreds and thousands really, of people following online don't even know the history behind it. And it's important to know where we come from as a church, to know where we are and where we're going. And please understand that we're only here. All this miracle, even being in this beautiful theater is because men and women prayed prayers that moved the heavens from Pastor David Wilkerson to a generation of the three pastors and the elders, men and women of prayer. I don't say this anywhere else because I've traveled all over the world and 50 nations and I've met many elders, many pastors, great men and women of God. But you have praying elders here in this church that have stood in prayer. I've not seen this anywhere else. The elders of this church are men that pray. Even for the longest season, 18 years, they were praying with Pastor Carter, Pastor David, Pastor Carter, Pastor Tim. They were praying every morning, meeting every morning. I've traveled with these men. And six in the morning in Haiti or French Africa and surrounding and praying and every Saturday, Pastor Tim and I text, and he's walking through this building, laying hands on every chair, balcony everywhere. Thank God for men and women that pray prayers that open the heavens. Because when we pray, congregation, people, a remnant of people in New York City for the world, praying prayers that open the heavens, well, then God will always answer us beyond anything we we can imagine. Now, in my notes it said you would say amen much louder than that to this. So I'm going to read to you the word of God and I'm expecting something. Ephesians 3, 14, 20, 21. For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
