The Prayer Was Never About You : Unlocking the Apostolic Prayer of Ephesians 1

Let God put his plan in your life and he'll pay for everything. Look at Mark 9, 23. Look at the scripture now. Y'all got to travel with it now. Look at the scripture. If Jesus said unto him, thank you Jesus, if thou can believe, all things are possible to him that believe it. You just got healed. You, you, you, you just got promoted. We say how many things are possible? That includes that hole in your financial bag. You heard me? I'm going to make a powerful statement. He's going to shake you up, but I'm going to make it anyway. You got to be in the faith to take it. You're not leaving here sick. I don't care what's going on, how long it's been going on. You today, today in the name of Jesus, the Lord of Lord and the King of King, you're not leaving here sick. The symptom might still be there. You tell him in the name of Jesus. No, no more. I'm not carrying you around no more. You might have to say three days, might have to say three weeks. You might have to say three months. Just keep saying it. I'm out. I wish somebody would back me up here. Is God strong enough to do this? Somebody said, but he's wounded for our transgression, bruised for our iniquity, chastised our peace upon him. What did he say? We are healed. The scripture said, if God is for you, who can be against you? The scripture said, ha, ha, ha. The Lord is my shepherd. I shall not walk. Well, where all this been? We've been on our plan. Satan sneaks a Christian through their mind. I know that's what he do to me until I catch him. So you, you stand there and look like he ain't never get you. He get, he get me. Somebody make some noise up here. Now, now sit down. Roman 8, 26, 28 to 28 is the way that I want you to take this week coming up and make your shifts. Okay. Roman 8, 26, 28. Apostles do it all the time. I use those scriptures all the time. I'm shifting all the time. Shifting from my infirmities to the mind of the spirit, to the will of God, to the love of God, the call of God and the purpose of God. I want you to see all those in those scriptures. Roman 8, every day I want you to take your time. Set aside to be whatever you want, sit in your chair, but make that shift. Get out of your infirmity because your infirmity is going to tell you you're sick, you're broke and you got trouble. Nobody likes you. Don't pay no attention to that. Ain't got to like me. Ain't got to like me. I can get along without you liking me. That's their mind, you see. But if you make this shift, Roman 8, 26, 28, the 28th verse says, when you get there, all things work together for good. All things work together for good for them that love God, who are called according to his purpose. All things work together for good. God dug it. All things work together for good. All things. But why are you going through that hell? Why are you worried? Why are you fearful? Why do you think that job's the only thing that'll support you? Why you let them people scare you with them little jobs they got? And you, you serving God. Not only told, he told me quit. And about two years later, he told me, and we still like, we're still in debt. We ain't got no money. He said, call your wife and tell her quit. I knew what you said, she. Call your wife and tell her quit. I just followed order. There's some things God been trying to get you to do, but you don't do it because you don't think you can do it. There's some things God wants you to have. You don't have them because you don't think you could have them. You let this world dictate your level. You, you a child of the living God. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Now you're going to listen now. Here is a divine, divine solution for everything in your life to flow in your favor. Here's the, here is the divine solution for everything in your life to flow in your favor. Y'all listening? Yeah. Somebody said, I want flow in your favor. Following the plan of God every day of your life. That's it right there. Following the plan. He, that's why he gave you a prayer. That's why he gave you the scripture. Look in the scripture and pray. He going to tell you his plan. See, listen, listen. Here's the divine solution. Divine solution. Say the divine solution. Divine solution. For everything in your life to flow in your favor. That's a powerful statement there. Everything in your life to flow, a divine solution for everything in my life to flow in my favor. And in answer with following the plan of God every day of your life. Here's this prayer. Write it down. Ephesians 1, 15 through 23. We thought this prayer was about us, but that prayer is about God. Turn to Ephesians. I'm going to go a little bit with it. Turn, turn, turn to Ephesians. I want to show you, I want to show you this type of revelation, apostolic revelation that had been given to the, to turn to Ephesians 1, 15. The apostle said, wherefore I also after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and love unto all the saints. Now watch, go to the next verse. Watch what he said. Cease not to give thanks for you making mention of you in my prayer. Now watch this prayer. Watch this apostolic prayer. It's about to change your life right now. Here we go. That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the father of glory may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation. Now watch this. In the knowledge of him, not what you want. The secret is in the knowledge of him. What God want. What you want in my life this afternoon. See, that's why people been taught wrong. They put God on their schedule. I ain't coming to no prayer meeting. That ain't my schedule. I ain't going no Wednesday night Bible teaching. That's not in my schedule. And they've been taught wrong. People been trying to get them to come to church to give offering. But you don't have to do that when you're in God's plan. You just feed the people, feed them, feed them, lead them, feed them. And they start rising up, rising up, rising up. Being blessed, being blessed, being blessed. Joy in a time of trouble. Peace in a time of a storm. I remember my son traveled to pray for a lady who had been operated on. And her son said, yeah, you can pray if you want, but we got this thing covered. My son had traveled about two or three. He said, man, I had to go. He said, no, we got this covered. You go ahead and pray if you want, Reverend. And more than one time people told, you can pray if you want. We're not getting insulted because we see that they're catching on. That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the father of glory, thank God for him. May give unto you the spirit of wisdom, watch it now, and revelation, watch it now, in the knowledge of him. The prayer is about God. Go to the next verse. The eyes of your understanding being enlightened that you may know what is the hope of his calling. What the riches of the glory of his inheritance. See, it's all about him. It's about, I'm going to give you a word now. I'm going to give you a word. You ready? Connection. Connection. Baby, once you make that connection, you always going to have divine direction and protection. You're supposed to be living above the standard of this world. You're supposed to be living above a car and a house. A car and a house supposed to be under your feet. You can get anything you want. Go to the next verse. What the exceeding greatness, I want you to keep saying that personal pronoun, that person, his. And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us who believe. According to the working of his mighty power. It's about him. That prayer is about him. And that prayer is showing you how to connect with him and have what, I'm going to use bad English now. What him has. What him has belonged to me. You ain't going to forget you. Yeah, man. Apostle chopped that word. I mean, I wanted to do that. Him. You see, it's all about him. Go to the next verse. See, it's him again. What he wrought in Christ. Not you. You didn't raise Christ from the dead. When he raised him from the dead and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places. It's all about him. Your plan is all about you. So you praying, you praying, you praying your plan. And God says, I can't answer it. He should have consulted me. You choose that house. I'll tell you about that. I'll give you a revelation on that. God chose my house. So if he chose it, he had to pay for it. So, so what he told me, then he kept adding on to his house. He's add on, add on. He had to pay for us. I said, you want, I'll build that room too. He picked the spot out. When I got out of the car, and I'm walking on one lot. And I heard a voice say, I'll take both lot. Cause the one lot wasn't going to hold the house. What he wanted to build. Oh, y'all. Yeah. I'm not afraid. God is a good God. If you're willing and obedient, you should eat the good of the land. Let God put his plan in your life and he'll pay for everything. I said, let God put his plan in your life and God will pay for everything.
