I give this time for you to find Ephesians 6:18 you who have found say I have found I have found my brothers my sisters thus it is written in the word of our God praying at all times with all prayer and supplication in the spirit and watching for it with all perseverance and Supplication for all the saints I repeat praying at all times with all prayer and supplication in the spirit amen amen your seat may God bless you in the name of Jesus Glory to God I ask for all your attention now and you are Look deep into my eyes I know that we are living in a unique time on the face of the earth, a time where we have access to so many facilities, I would even say that these facilities, these technologies, if used well, can be like a tool in our hands, but despite bringing many benefits to us, they can also function as a totally reverse factor, something that completely takes our attention away from what really matters because when we realize that within the Bible the word of God gives us some powerful tools and tools for us to support God's good work, we begin to understand that for example one of these tools that is very clear in Chapter 6 in Ephesians is the word of God salvation peace faith But later on we realize that despite all these tools my brothers we also realize that prayer is a main tool Maybe it is a of the pillars of Faith for everyone here, if I could highlight three pillars, they would be the word of God, prayer, and fasting, all of us who have faith in Christ Jesus need to be established in these three pillars, we need to have prayer, we need to fast to kill the will of the flesh and we need to have the word to obtain the direction of the Holy Spirit and the will of Christ in our lives, but I repeat again that despite all this, the facilities we have these days have taken our attention away from what really matters. for example we spend more time on things that are so superficial that they add nothing to our relationship with God and today we spend so little time on prayer, fasting and the word, I heard a certain preacher once say and I repeat this to you now I don't remember the name of the preacher but he said that anyone who makes an excuse of not having time to pray is because they don't have prayer as their priority because if prayer were your priority you would pray so much that there wouldn't be a lack of time for prayer but if there would be a lack of time for other things so realize that prayer used as a tool in a pillar it is in fact something supernatural in the life of a man of God when we look into the Bible we find very unique and very direct examples of what prayer is the relationship with God can do in the life of a man, why not a woman of God, we find, for example, Martha and Mary, you can understand within the word and whoever is here, I know you are from the Bible, you know that the prayer that they both profess is the same They point the finger at Jesus and say Lord, if you had been here my brother wouldn't have died both Martha and Mary say the same prayer but the result is different for one Jesus says have more faith because I am the resurrection I am the life and to another Jesus points his finger and says show me where Lazarus is because I'm going to resurrect him now so the brothers realize that the prayer is the same but the result is different you can also notice for example Ark of the Covenant house of obedidon house of abinadab in one person's house it stays for so long and nothing happens in another's house it only stays for 3 months and the news of what God is doing is so terrible so great that the King David himself on his throne finds out and comes to obé Deon's house to have contact with the ark. The question we ask ourselves is what happens in someone's house, what happens in another's house, what does Marta do differently than Mary that the result of prayer is not the same as the result of the contact relationship is not the same and when we stop to think about it we realize that the answer to Martha and Mary obed and abinadab is simply in a text where Jesus is preaching the word There is someone sitting at your feet receiving and there is another pointing the finger at whoever is at your feet looking at Jesus and receiving from Him saying don't you care that I 'm here working so hard and my sister is wasting time at your feet, no Don't you see, Jesus, I'm so busy and she's not coming to help me.
Jesus immediately gives a very direct word to Marta, saying Marta, you're looking for things that perish, but Mary looked for the best part, which is receiving what I'm telling her, oh Marta, you are worried about so many tasks but only one is necessary if you knew what was a priority you would drop everything and sit on my feet now I know that I told you something that seems not to be an instrument for a moment of prayer but realize that When we have contact with God, we can say that prayer is nothing more than communication with the one who receives the prayer. Do you want to see? I'm saying a prayer to you tonight, preacher, but you're not praying to me.
I'm not. adoring you I'm not praying to you but I'm saying a prayer in turn I'm communicating with you and you just responded when I placed a prayer a rosary before you you raised your hands you gave glory to God so in the same way as I offered I placed before you a communication and you respond to this communication if you establish a prayer with God it is the same thing when you say something and this prayer is heard at that exact moment if it constitutes a relationship and in a prayer but despite God always listening our prayers, God does not always answer prayers and a very old Ino knows that sometimes God's silence is an answer and in fact it is an answer because who knows, God is working in that silence, but prayers are also answered by God if we were for example brothers and sisters take the light of the Bible we see that the prayer that anyone here says can be divided into several things there is not just the prayer that you Bend your knee open your mouth and start talking to God when we look at the light of the Bible for example James Chapter 5 verse 15 there is the prayer of faith and the prayer of faith will save the sick there is also the prayer of confession Psalm 321 blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven there is the prayer of Supplication Philippians 4:6 be known before of God your supplications there is the prayer of Consecration for example Matthew 2639 father if possible Take this Cup away from Me all your life my will not be done but your will be done not mine there is the prayer of intercession First Timothy Chapter 2 verse 1 go eat Bible make intercession on behalf of all men there is brothers the prayer of agreement Acts Chapter 1 Verse number 14 after the ascension of Jesus the disciples persevered unanimously United in prayer there is still a prayer of thanks in the same Philippians 4:5 be known before of God your petitions with thanksgiving so you realize that it is not just coming before God and uttering vain and empty words There are several directions and Aspects before God about the prayer that a man can put before him, but I want to be very directive and clear to each one of you what God looks at are not pretty words within a prayer what God looks at are not eloquence within a prayer what God looks at It's not the wisdom of putting understanding into a prayer, what God looks at is a contrite heart behind the words. I always say to teenagers in church, a tear rolling down your face is better than empty words coming out of your mouth.
because God knows how to read the phrase of a prayer inside the tear that rolls down your face someone asked me the day Preacher Jonathan Carlos pastor Jonathan how long we have to pray before God and I answered that he does it I pray when I wake up and finish to pray when I go to sleep He looked at me and said does that mean you spend the day praying I said yes even though my mouth doesn't open to utter words my heart and my mind go out into the street praying then I go to the bakery talking to him Take the bus talking to him, go pay the bill, I'm talking to him, I don't know who here has experienced this crazy thing of opening the car door and saying, get in first, Jesus, I'll only go if you go with me, someone looked at me on the street the other day, vase going down the hill there in Rio de Janeiro where I live he pointed out he said this Jonathan I saw you going down the street talking to yourself I said to him alone no you didn't see there was a man by my side I was talking to him hallelujah I tell you that a prayer that places the Heart before God is better than a prayer with fanciful and empty words entering into the theme of this congress, persevering in prayer, praying at all times, but when we think about it, I need to open a parenthesis here to take the brothers to where the Holy Spirit sent I will not take away what he sent if it is prayer at all times at all times I know that theologically when we look at this all time We think about the Times of life in earthly times but I could put it without being forced in the text at all times also in your life even when you are sleeping in your bed preacher Now you said crazy if I'm sleeping I'm going to pray to God as it's the same tactic and strategy that Jesus uses when Jesus points the finger at the disciples and says So it goes to everyone and I preach my gospel to every creature yes or no now I ask a question to you who agreed if preaching was just about opening your mouth and uttering words how would those who are mute preach if preaching was just about putting their hands in on the microphone, how would someone who doesn't have a vocal cord preach? Preaching isn't just going up here at the altar. Preaching isn't just putting your hand on the microphone.
Preaching isn't just pronouncing the word. When Jesus said, go to everyone and preach my gospel, he's not there talking about you opening your mouth and speaking the word he is talking about you being a letter that can be read because whoever is looking at you you don't need to speak you just pass by someone looks at you and says there goes a holy man of God there goes a saint man of God understood it's about the Bible he didn't even say anything but I saw him pass by he's a holy man of God This is for preaching but it's also for prayer there are prayers that you don't need to open your mouth to pray you just live your life it's a It's a continuous contact with God God looks at you if he likes you you don't even say anything you don't even open your mouth but God receives your life in prayer before him you want to see how powerful silent prayer is I always say teaching there in church that humility Humility is a silent prayer to God whoever is humble and whoever has humility does not need to open their mouth To pray before he arrived, God already heard the prayer of his heart, he didn't need to utter words because the Proud God strikes down but the humble God gives grace God hears God answers God puts his hand God will release power release grace release anointing when we perceive ISO within From the Bible we realize that not only one or two or five were someone who prayed before God, there are several characters who with humility who with perseverance opened their mouths and were answered before God, see Genesis Chapter 20 verse 17 Abraham prayed to God and God Abimelech healed his wife and his female servants Genesis 25 Isaac prayed to God and God healed Rebekah of her barrenness Genesis 32 Jacob prayed to God and God delivered him from the hand of Esau Exodus 32 Moses prayed to God and God spared an entire people Israel because of the prayer of a man on top of a mountain and Joshua Chapter 10 Joshua Prays to God God Reaches his hand and to the sun so Israel can win a war judges Chapter 16 Samson prayed to God and God Restores the strength of His servant Psalm number 4ro David prayed to God And in the midst of his anguish God sustained him first reas chapter 3 Solomon prayed to God and fire came down from heaven second chronicles Chapter 7 Solomon prays again to God and fire from God invades the temple takes everything from glory to smoke presents those who are outside do not enter those who are inside do not come out there is so much Glory that God changes the environment because of the prayer of a man first kings chapter 3 Solomon again prays God and God gives wisdom to Solomon first kings chapter 18 Elijah Prays to God and new fire comes down from heaven second kings chapter 20 Hezekiah prays to God and God adds another 15 years of life to his servant on the throne first kings chapter 18 Elijah Bends his knee and begins to pray to God seven times the servant goes on the last one he comes back and says You're praying I'm seeing a small cloud rise like the size of a man's hand he says run back and warn the prayer has been answered there will be rain on earth brother it's here it's so serious that not even the son son of God the one to whoever you are giving glory to stopped praying this here is so serious that even Jesus persevered in prayer what else did Jesus teach his disciples I'm going to talk about it is here looking right into your eyes it wasn't preaching Jesus didn't teach how to preach Jesus didn't teach to cast out devils Jesus did not teach them how to put their hands on a sword and cut off the People's ears Jesus did not teach prosperity how to have money what Jesus taught them was to pray how to pray Our Father who art in heaven hallowed, be thy name, thy kingdom come, be thy kingdom Your will is done, this is so serious that even Jesus understands I am the son of God but being who I am I go to my knee and pray imagine you who did not sit at the right hand of the Throne imagine you who did not ascend to heaven imagine you who are not the word live in the flesh if I am I would say Jesus is the son of God or imagine who is here in the world shouldn't pray too This is so serious that Jesus opens his mouth and I'm not making it up you'll complain to him when he gets to glory I need to go so that the father will send you another Comforter But don't worry because when I arrive in glory I will stand still, I won't do what Jesus will ask the father I will ask the father I will ask the father I will ask the father so that he sends you out Comforter thinks that whoever is in Earth stood still Imagine the disciples looking at Jesus and saying if you go up and pray whoever is on earth will not stand still also gather the people then go up and we will pray they also persevered unanimously in prayer brothers I just try to imagine what is written on the Bible on earth Who's on gathered earth bowed the knee and is like this Lord hear our prayer God sitting on the throne of Glory the Holy Spirit with him Jesus appears before him and says I promised something to those on earth I need to pray and I pray to you now send the comforter to Whoever is on earth sends the comforter to whoever is on earth sends the comforter to whoever is on earth while Jesus is praying there I imagine God looking at acts and saying like this Whoever is on earth is praying whoever is in heaven is praying spirit Get in there and fills everyone with Glory, fulfilling the day of Pentecost They were all gathered in the same place effect of prayer an environment filled with power and glory this is so terrible I keep repeating How terrible it is that within the Bible you find an environment that suffers an earthquake when someone bends the knee and raises prayer before God, brothers, prayer are not just empty words, prayer is a weapon that everyone here has and only doesn't use if they don't want to, do you think that the devil hasn't touched you yet and hasn't been able to? kill you because you are strong because you have power because you have money because you have position I say Altar we have men in all locations we have men who represent us in positions sessions departments places in this nation but God, before placing men in position, seeks men who bend the knee in the Deep in the hidden in the hidden who wield the weapon of prayer well to be able to present themselves before God having what the devil cannot touch that which the devil cannot touch preacher the relationship you have with God the devil in Job rips gold takes away silver takes away the family takes away health takes away friends takes away everything you understand on the right I'm failing to the left but when Job had nothing left Bend the knee to the ash and say I'll start here when I leave my mother's womb I won't return to There the Lord God gave himself and he has every right to take it away I will not blaspheme against him on the contrary blessed be the name of the Lord blessed be the name of the Lord I feel God speaking to men here if this word is faithful and true we are before where Jesus sent a terrible war, the war we are in is not a war of human weapons, it is not a war with a rifle, an h47 pistol, not the war the whole church is facing, it is a terrible spiritual war, I look into your eyes, my brothers and I see the war that lies before us I cannot be foolish or foolish at the Altar tonight to say that things from now on on earth will improve I cannot tell you that the earth will improve without Jesus first presenting himself the earth is going to get worse for those who are worse for those who are believers , preachers but I wanted to experience good things God keeps you within the war but God will not stop what is written within the word will be fulfilled and in this last time I will scream of war here or you are of prayer or prepare yourself if you don't enter the trench of prayer if you don't enter the trench of the presence of God if you don't enter the trench of communication with the heavens the devil will shoot you in the middle of the war and there's no point in raising the white flag, preacher, why don't you think that the devil respects your white flag, son of God, he just didn't kill you here now because there are angels at the door of the church, he just didn't touch you here now because God didn't allow him to touch you in the halfway I'm going to use your life Petrolina as an example You took the bus and came along this road Away how much bond was broken that you didn't did you see how much of the Tomb was locked that you didn't observe and I'm sure before you stepped inside that bus someone among you raised your hand and said let's pray to the Lord I feel God [Applause] here how much bond God broke for you to get in here tonight the the devil has against the church, as they sang in a church that has communication with heaven guarded by the Lord, so you can have an idea of the size of the weapon that prayer is, and I'm not saying that out of thin air, of course , and everyone here knows what I'm going to say.
The queen of England, who is already sleeping, said that she is more afraid of the prayer of a believer like that who is here inside than of all the nuclear weapons of the Soviet Union because she understands what a knee that bows before God is, the weapon Explodes the earth now the God who is sitting on the throne Explodes the earth the universe the heavens undoes Do it again Put your hand up, raise whoever you want, kill whoever you want, I want to see who will be touched if God doesn't allow it, the war is raging but bigger than is with us in the in the midst of war and in the face of this war prayer is a weapon I know that there are several spiritual weapons I could talk about the weapon of worship I could talk about the prophetic weapon but allow me to be faithful to the theme delivering what Jesus told you now preacher if the war is fought What can we do your War It is not against flesh it is not against blood but against principalities powers hoches spiritual Princes of darkness and evil when you pray here you attract the presence of Jesus and I will tell you what happens when you betray the presence of Jesus remember gadara remember gadara Jesus didn't even say anything he just put Pezão like this, I arrived, the demoniac comes running and bends his knee in front of him and says Lord, come and disturb us because he throws us out Jesus says like this, get out and enter the pig, brother I travel around Brazil so much, this whole world preaching and what I don't see of people afraid of devils I see of people afraid of devils a demon B demon C I'm not going to say the name of a demon here because I know that if I started talking Maybe there was someone who said I'm going to give glory to Jesus to cut I'm going to give glory to Jesus to exterminate I know why strategy I know it happens but I 'm not going to use it here not far from me speak the name of devil for all the glory what I'm going to say it's the one who arrived in Gadara and all these demons that many people are afraid of when the big Jesus from Galia stepped on roasting the demons that many people tremble say to I will pray for Jesus to cut I will give glory so as not to enter when he saw Jesus did So, you are bigger, you are bigger, you are bigger, you are bigger, you are bigger, you are bigger, with affection, I know that a presence will invade and will not stop what Jesus is going to do in the next few seconds. There are people who are afraid of the devil but are not afraid the one who is bigger than a devil is afraid of devils but is not afraid of Jesus Jesus with one breath destroys everything I'm going to talk Who's here at debe tonight Who's here is not a devil a is not a devil b is not a street devil no It's a demon of the mountain, it's not a demon of the valley, it's not a demon of the sea.
