00:31 If you're watching this program,
00:33 I'm pretty sure
00:35 like me, you desire a home where Christ can feel at home.
00:38 Deuteronomy 6:5-7 tells us,
00:42 "Love the Lord, your God, with all your heart,
00:44 with all your soul, with all your strength.
00:47 These commandments that I give you today
00:49 are to be in your hearts, impress them on your children.
00:52 Talk about them when you sit at home
00:54 and when you walk along the road
00:57 and when you lie down and when you get up."
00:59 These verses speak volumes about how our belief in God
01:03 should be an integral and influential part of us
01:06 in our spirit, to our family members,
01:08 in public and at home.
01:11 My heart breaks for homes
01:12 where no word is spoken about the love of God,
01:16 because it has, as it has been said,
01:18 so the home goes, so goes the nation.
01:22 Proverbs 24:3-4 says,
01:25 "By wisdom, a house is built,
01:26 and by understanding it is established,
01:29 by knowledge the rooms are filled
01:31 with all precious and pleasant riches."
01:33 I can think of nothing greater and more affordable
01:37 than filling my home with the wisdom of God.
01:39 And I joined Joshua in declaring that
01:41 as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.
01:50 Happy the home When God is there
01:55 And love fills every breast
02:00 When one their wish And one their prayer
02:06 And one their heavenly rest
02:14 Happy the home
02:16 Where Jesus' name Is sweet to every ear
02:25 Where children early speak His fame
02:31 And parents hold Him dear
02:40 Father God, thank You so much
02:42 for the opportunity and the privilege
02:45 to have young people in our home,
02:47 to live our lives with them,
02:49 glorifying You to the best of our ability.
02:52 I pray, Lord Jesus, that You would show us ways
02:55 in which we can shine for You
02:57 in front of these young people that we can impart to them
03:01 our love for You
03:03 and the desire to serve You, Lord Jesus,
03:06 and all that they do in their lives.
03:08 I pray, Father God,
03:10 that You would touch each one of them
03:12 with Your Holy Spirit, fill them to overflowing.
03:15 Lord Jesus,
03:16 set these young lives on fire for You.
03:19 And if we may be
03:21 some small part of that kindling, Lord,
03:23 show us how,
03:25 show us where we can be better and do better
03:28 to show these children the way, the truth and the life.
03:35 Heavenly Father,
03:36 I pray for the Christian family.
03:40 There're so many homes spread around the globe
03:44 that are under assault, under pressure from the enemy.
03:48 Father, I pray that You protect our homes,
03:51 that You protect the children in those homes,
03:53 that You protect the parents,
03:55 the mother and the father in these homes.
03:59 Father, we need You now
04:00 in this day and age more than ever,
04:02 because the enemy does not want the family
04:04 to be a family of God.
04:07 Father, bless the families of those hearing this prayer,
04:11 give them strength and guidance
04:13 that they can withstand the evil arrayed against them
04:17 and that they might lead their families,
04:19 their children, their husband, or their wife
04:23 to eternal glory
04:25 in the name of Jesus Christ.
04:27 Amen.
04:30 Dear God, thank You for our homes,
04:32 thank You for shelter, thank You for family.
04:35 I pray that You will bless
04:37 and protect our homes from harm.
04:39 I pray for those
04:40 who do not have the blessing of homes
04:42 that You will bless and protect them as well.
04:45 Keep us safe and healthy
04:47 as we continue on in your abundant grace.
04:50 We ask these things in Jesus' name.
04:52 Amen.
04:58 Happy the home where prayer is heard
05:04 And praise is wont to rise
05:10 Where parents love The sacred Word
05:16 And all its wisdom prize
05:25 Lord, let us in our homes agree
05:32 This blessed peace to gain
05:38 Unite our hearts In love to Thee
05:45 And love to all will reign
05:56 Our most precious Heavenly Father,
05:59 You have provided us
06:00 with such a beautiful example of a home.
06:03 Lord, we want to be a part of Your divine experience.
06:08 Love, compassion, understanding and worship
06:13 are an integral part of your home
06:15 that will never go away.
06:17 No more arguments, no more cheating,
06:20 no more unfaithfulness, no more abuse.
06:24 What an exciting future we have with you, Lord.
06:28 We pray, we will be ready
06:30 to make the journey to the new earth
06:32 You have so delightfully prepared for us.
06:36 Please, please, Lord,
06:38 come soon and take us quickly to Your heavenly home,
06:42 where we can savor Your love.
06:45 We ask all these things in thy wonderful name.
06:48 Amen.
06:52 Dear Heavenly Father, thank You so much for this day.
06:54 Thank You so much for being my Father
06:57 that care for me,
06:59 but I want to thank You so much more
07:00 for my home,
07:02 for the people who are part of my home,
07:04 my children, my husband,
07:06 be with them
07:08 because each one of them is important to you, Lord,
07:11 and You want them to be safe
07:13 and I want you to be with the homes,
07:16 the Christian homes, the Adventist homes
07:18 around the world
07:19 because they are the light to this world right now.
07:24 As we face this time of trouble,
07:26 Lord, be with each one of the homes,
07:28 the Christian homes,
07:30 so they can reach out to their neighbors,
07:32 to those around them
07:33 and share Your light, Your love with them.
07:36 Please help also all those homes
07:39 that don't know you, Lord,
07:40 that Your Spirit may be with them
07:44 as they face this time of trouble.
07:46 Lord, is hard on people,
07:49 isolation and not be able to share
07:51 with other family members,
07:53 be in those homes, Lord,
07:55 that Your peace and Your love and this time
07:58 can come through
07:59 and be with each one of us in Jesus' name.
08:02 Amen.
08:06 Heavenly Father,
08:07 our homes are under attack as never before,
08:11 our homes are where we teach Your children
08:13 and grandchildren
08:14 about the goodness of our God.
08:17 Let angels that excel in strength
08:19 be around us to protect us from the attacks of the devil.
08:23 Thank You, Lord,
08:25 for the promise of Your protection
08:27 in Jesus' name.
08:28 Amen.
08:33 Isaiah foresaw a day,
08:35 Dear God,
08:37 when Your people will live in peaceful dwelling places,
08:41 in secure homes and undisturbed places of rest.
08:46 Lord, I pray
08:48 that You will let it happen today.
08:52 And, Jesus, You told the parable
08:54 of the rain coming down,
08:55 the streams rising and the winds blowing
08:58 and beating against the house.
09:01 Yet it didn't fall
09:02 because it had its foundation on the rock.
09:07 And, Lord, I choose today to build my life upon You,
09:12 my firm foundation.
09:20 There are many prayer requests that come in,
09:24 this one says,
09:26 please pray for God
09:27 to draw my friend
09:29 into a deeper relationship with the Holy Spirit,
09:31 and to fill them with power, love, Christ's mind, faith,
09:35 hope and beauty.
09:37 God, we want these characteristics
09:39 in all of our lives, God.
09:42 Ask the Holy Spirit to comfort and deliver them
09:45 from the enemy from all evil,
09:47 Holy Spirit, grant a hunger for the Word of God
09:51 and lead them to the right Christian teachers
09:55 of God's holy word.
09:58 Father, there are many of us around this world
10:01 who have loved ones that we want to see
10:05 turn their lives over to You,
10:07 that You would be their savior, that you would be their Lord.
10:12 Oh God, save our loved ones.
10:17 Save them God.
10:22 We pray for those
10:24 who are facing anxiety and fear.
10:30 This one says,
10:32 "They have negative thoughts that come to their mind
10:35 and they need deliverance from this."
10:38 Please pray that I will completely trust God
10:41 and do His will.
10:44 Another comes in and says,
10:46 "Pray for healing for my daughter.
10:48 She has cancer and it was in remission
10:52 and she had to continue with treatment."
10:55 Another says,
10:56 "Pray for my aunt who has cancer,
10:58 pray for my family,
11:00 that they will completely give their hearts to the Lord.
11:04 Pray for our close friend
11:06 who is struggling with his Christian faith,
11:09 as well as with some long-term mental health issues.
11:13 Please pray that he will not lose faith,
11:17 that God will heal him mentally,
11:20 and will bring him peace."
11:25 Father God,
11:28 thank You, Lord, that You, You are the answer.
11:32 You are the answer to this world
11:34 and to their needs.
11:37 You are the answer to our world's hurts.
11:41 So, Father, I pray that You will reveal Yourself,
11:47 reveal the answer.
11:53 Proverbs 3:33 says,
11:57 "The Lord's curse is on the house of the wicked,
12:01 but He blesses the home of the righteous."
12:06 And Psalm 91:1-2 says,
12:10 "Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
12:14 will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
12:17 I will say of the Lord,
12:19 He is my refuge and my fortress,
12:23 and my God in whom I trust."
12:31 Just take a moment and thank Him
12:35 for being the Lord of your home,
12:40 and pray for those who you know need a closer walk with Him.
12:46 Just take a moment right now.
13:14 You're nearness, oh God, is our good.
13:20 We thank You, Lord,
13:21 for loving us, for caring for us.
13:25 We thank You that
13:27 we can have the privilege of knowing You
13:29 and claiming You as our Father.
13:33 Amen.
