00:32 Are you looking for a dramatic change
00:34 in your life? 00:35 Well, that's what we're praying about today, 00:37 transformation. 00:38 One of my favorite scriptures on transformation 00:40 is found in Romans 12:2, 00:43 "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, 00:46 but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. 00:48 Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is, 00:52 His good pleasing and perfect will." 00:55 Perhaps others see you as offensive, 00:58 your language, the subject you discuss, 01:00 the stories you tell, 01:02 are they appropriate for Christian conversation? 01:05 Perhaps it's your holier than now attitude. 01:07 The way you look down on others in your, 01:09 I'll pray for you kind of way. 01:11 Maybe it's your lack of involvement in issues 01:13 that would prove that love of Christ 01:15 that you're always telling others about, 01:18 but they haven't seen it in action. 01:20 Well, I've got good news. 01:21 God forgives our sin. 01:23 He shows us His way in His Word, 01:25 and He gives us the power of the Holy Spirit 01:27 to make the necessary changes in our lives. 01:30 God allows U turns and He's waiting on you. 01:41 The Savior is waiting 01:45 To enter your heart 01:50 Why don't you let Him come in 01:57 There's nothing in this world 02:01 To keep you apart 02:05 What is your answer to Him 02:13 Time after time 02:16 He has waited before 02:21 And now He is waiting again 02:29 To see if you're willing to open the door 02:39 Oh, how He wants to come in 02:49 Most gracious and loving Father in heaven, 02:51 I ask, please, 02:53 that You would provide for Yourself 02:54 a great and mighty harvest of souls for the kingdom. 02:58 Those who are being transformed 02:59 into the likeness of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 03:03 Amen. 03:09 Our Father in heaven, 03:12 at this time 03:14 we pause and we thank You for Your goodness. 03:18 Thank You for listening and hearing our prayers. 03:22 Our desire is to have a clean heart, 03:25 oh God. 03:26 And for You to renew a right spirit 03:29 within us, within me. 03:33 I give You permission to transform my life today 03:37 in Jesus' name. 03:39 Amen. 03:47 If you'll take one step 03:50 Toward the Savior, my friend 03:56 You'll find His arms are open wide 04:03 Receive Him, and all of your darkness will end 04:12 Within your heart He'll abide 04:20 Time after time He has waited before 04:29 And now He is waiting again 04:37 To see if you're willing to open the door 04:46 Oh, how He wants to come in 04:58 Father, heavenly Lord. 05:00 I come before You now, Lord, on behalf of myself 05:02 and many others, Father, 05:04 who are in need of transformation. 05:06 Father, I believe that 05:08 a lot of us still have spots in our lives, 05:10 places in our own lives 05:12 that need to be transformed. 05:14 So, Father, I pray 05:16 as David prayed in Psalms Chapter 51, 05:19 "Create in me a clean heart, O God, 05:21 and renew a right spirit within me." 05:23 Lord, You know our hearts, You know our thoughts, 05:25 You know what parts of us still need to be transformed. 05:28 So I pray, Lord, that You will help us 05:31 by helping us renew our minds 05:33 and also help us, Father, to remember that in Christ, 05:36 we are new creations. 05:38 The old life is gone and the new is here, Father, 05:42 as Paul said in 2 Corinthians 5:17. 05:46 So I pray for this transformation, 05:47 not only for myself, but for others, Father, 05:50 who are in desperate need 05:51 because they want to be conformed to Your image. 05:54 I pray this all in Your name, Lord Jesus. 05:57 Amen. 06:12 Father God, thank You for not leaving me 06:14 the same person that I was before. 06:17 You've changed me in so many ways 06:19 and so many ways. 06:21 I thank You, Father, 06:23 for the continued journey that we're on together 06:25 and the promise that You will not leave me 06:27 as You found me. 06:29 Yet, Lord, 06:30 if there is any unclean way in me, 06:32 show me, Father, 06:34 lead me in the way everlasting, 06:36 for Your glory and honor in Jesus' name. 06:55 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, 06:58 "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, 07:00 he is a new creation. 07:02 The old has passed away, 07:04 behold, the new has come." 07:07 And Galatians 2:20 says, 07:10 "I have been crucified with Christ. 07:12 It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. 07:16 And the life I now live in the flesh, 07:19 I live by faith in the Son of God 07:22 who loved me and gave Himself for me." 07:26 So let's pray. 07:30 Father, I want to thank You 07:31 that You have made a change in me, 07:35 and I thank You for those who are watching. 07:37 There are those who are celebrating 07:41 multiple years of freedom 07:45 from the chains that once held them, 07:49 those that are celebrating sobriety. 07:53 God, thank You for Your power to deliver. 07:57 Thank You for Your power to change us, to cleanse us. 08:04 God, we give You glory that You are the deliverer. 08:13 Father, I know that 08:14 there are those who are watching, 08:16 who are praying for family members and friends 08:19 who need salvation. 08:22 This one writes, 08:24 "Pray for a friend to be delivered 08:26 from Facebook and from alcohol, 08:30 from bitterness, from selfishness, from anger. 08:35 Lord, it's amazing the things that we allow to, to bind us. 08:44 So, Lord, we need Your deliverance. 08:49 We pray for the salvation of this one for her marriage, 08:58 God, many are watching 08:59 that need strength in their marriage. 09:02 They need Your healing touch, God. 09:06 Fill them with love for their spouse. 09:12 We love You, God. 09:14 One writes, 09:16 "I've been struggling with my faith in Jesus Christ. 09:20 Please be praying for me." 09:23 Father, Thank You for the Holy Spirit 09:25 that convicts us and stirs us to want a closer walk with You. 09:32 Oh God, as we desire to draw close to You, 09:37 we know that we will find You there. 09:41 We pray for those who are going through surgery. 09:44 This one says, 09:45 "Please pray for my mother-in-law 09:47 as she'll be having surgery." 09:50 God, this world is full of sickness. 09:57 We thank You, God, for the doctors and the nurses 10:00 who are able to assist in our health, 10:05 but we know it's Your healing touch 10:07 ultimately that does the work. 10:15 So, Father, please heal. 10:18 This one prays for deliverance. 10:19 "My son needs deliverance from addictions." 10:23 Another has a grandson 10:24 who's been dealing with an addiction to drugs. 10:27 Oh God, 10:30 it's terrible to see 10:31 our friends and family go through these situations. 10:36 We want so badly to help and all we can do is pray. 10:42 But thank God that 10:43 that is basically all we need to do. 10:47 We turn it over to You. 10:49 And we know that You have the power, 10:51 You are able to deliver. 10:54 Though by sin we are oppressed, 10:56 we can come to You for rest 10:59 and know that You will deliver. 11:01 So I praise You, Lord, for that. 11:07 We read In Psalm 107:1, 11:09 "Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good. 11:12 His love endures forever. 11:14 God, You're worthy of our praise 11:16 and our Thanksgiving. 11:18 You're good. 11:19 You're compassionate, a loving God in every season. 11:26 Praise the Lord. 11:29 Psalm 32:8, God tells us, 11:31 I will instruct you and teach you 11:32 in the way you should go. 11:34 I will counsel you with my loving eye on you. 11:42 So, in your transformation, 11:45 be open to God's leading 11:46 and trust that He will lovingly counsel you 11:50 as you transition into who He wants you to be 11:54 for His glory. 11:58 I have decided 12:02 I'm gonna follow Jesus 12:06 I have decided to follow Jesus 12:14 I have decided to follow Jesus 12:23 No turning back No turning back 12:32 You know, James 1 commands us to be doers of the word 12:37 and not hearers only deceiving ourselves, 12:41 for it is not the hearer who forgets, 12:44 but a doer who acts, 12:46 who will be blessed in their doing. 12:49 So I pray that today brings you closer to Christ 12:55 in your pursuit of transformation. 12:58 Make the decision to follow Him 13:00 and to be changed, to be like Him. 13:03 I have decided to follow Jesus 13:10 I have decided, 13:14 I'm gonna follow Jesus 13:19 I hope you will decide 13:23 To follow Jesus 13:27 No turning back 13:31 No turning back 13:37 Please
