00:31 Today, I want to pray about disease prevention and cure.
00:35 With virtually new illnesses 00:36 that are overwhelming our bodies and health systems, 00:39 there has been an increase and a greater acceptance 00:42 of becoming more vigilant 00:43 with what we put into our bodies. 00:45 More people are accepting the fact 00:47 that the Bible's principles of health are exactly 00:50 what we should be following 00:51 in order to strengthen our immune system 00:53 against viruses, bacterial infections, cancers, 00:57 heart disease, and so on. 00:59 One should think of the Bible as an owner's manual. 01:02 In it, our Creator God gives specific instructions on how 01:05 we are to care for our body. 01:07 3 John 1:2 says, 01:10 "Beloved, I wish above all things 01:12 that you may prosper and be in health, 01:15 even as your soul prospers." 01:18 I hope that you'll take this passage to heart today, 01:20 literally, 01:21 and begin to search the scripture 01:23 perhaps as never before, 01:24 for guidance on how you may become healthier, 01:27 both physically and spiritually. 01:30 If there ever was a time 01:31 that we are to be as Daniel and his three Hebrew friends 01:35 who made a firm commitment 01:36 to not defile their bodies 01:38 with the portions of the king's meat, 01:40 it's today. 01:51 I am weak but 01:53 Thou art strong 01:58 Jesus keep me from all wrong 02:04 I'll be satisfied 02:08 As long As I walk, 02:13 let me walk close to Thee 02:20 Just a closer walk with Thee 02:27 Grant it, Jesus, is my plea 02:34 Daily walking close to Thee 02:40 Let it be 02:43 Dear Lord, let it be 02:51 Our most gracious, gracious Heavenly Father, 02:55 we humbly bow before You 02:57 now as our creator, our sustainer, 02:59 our greater mighty physician. 03:02 We are asking for Your direction 03:04 as we search the scriptures for guidance, 03:07 and properly caring for 03:09 and strengthening our body temples. 03:11 We ask for Your guidance 03:13 and maybe supplements and other health principles 03:17 that we can apply to help in healing 03:19 and help in strengthening our bodies. 03:22 We ask that as we learn 03:24 and we implement these new instructions 03:26 that You will mightily bless our efforts 03:29 with Your healing touch. 03:31 I truly believe as we do our part, 03:34 we can firmly hold on in faith 03:37 knowing that You our Heavenly Father 03:40 will do Your part as You have promised. 03:43 God, I ask that You please comfort the hurting. 03:48 So many people have lost loved ones. 03:51 So many people have lost people that are dear to them. 03:55 We ask that You help those who are grieving right now 03:58 with an extra amount of peace 04:00 that passes all understanding that only You can do. 04:04 And, Father, we ask that 04:05 You continue to bring conviction, 04:07 bring conversion to the hearts of Your people, 04:10 that though we feel that 04:11 we're walking through the valley 04:13 of the shadow of death, 04:14 we may not fear, 04:16 but we can be comforted in knowing that 04:18 You are spiritually carrying us through, 04:20 we pray this in Jesus' name. 04:22 Amen. 04:27 Our most gracious and loving Heavenly Father, 04:31 we come before You today to throw up our petitions 04:35 for everybody around the world 04:38 for their health prevention, 04:40 and a cure for everything that ails them. 04:44 Lord, we know that You are the great physician, 04:47 but we ask that You give Your healing hand 04:50 and the guiding hand 04:52 for all the medical professionals out there. 04:54 All of the doctors, all of the nurses, 04:56 all of the lab techs, 04:58 all of the people 04:59 that are helping every individual out there 05:02 that is going through any kind of health issues 05:07 from virus infections to physical ailments, 05:11 from heart disease, cancers. 05:13 Lord, we know that You are the cure, 05:16 that You are the great physician. 05:18 You are there for us physically, mentally, 05:21 and spiritually in our ailment. 05:23 And, Lord, especially in our spiritual walk, 05:26 we need You now more than ever, 05:28 and by Your stripes we are healed. 05:31 In Jesus' name I pray. 05:33 Amen. 05:40 Through this world of toil And snares 05:46 If I falter 05:48 Lord who cares? 05:53 Who with me my burden shares? 05:58 O none but Thee Dear Lord 06:02 None but Thee 06:07 Just a closer walk 06:10 with Thee 06:14 Grant it, Jesus, is my plea 06:20 Daily walking close to Thee 06:27 O let it be 06:30 Dear Lord, let it be 06:39 Lord, Your Word tells us that You desire us to prosper 06:42 and be in good health. 06:44 We come before Your throne claiming that promise. 06:48 God, You have seen the effects 06:49 that sin has caused on our health 06:51 and in our society. 06:53 I know there is no problem too big 06:55 You cannot solve it 06:56 and no prayer so small you do not hear it. 07:00 Therefore, we come seeking Your help 07:02 for healing with those that are sick and suffering. 07:06 Give wisdom and resources 07:07 to find a cure where it is needed. 07:10 Thank You, Lord, for the counsel You give 07:12 on how to boost our immune systems 07:14 by using resources in nature. 07:17 I pray that You would help us to use these resources 07:21 like fresh air, sunshine, water, and exercise 07:25 along with trusting in You to keep our bodies healthy. 07:29 God, please be our great physician 07:31 during this time of need 07:32 and sustain our health according to Your will I pray. 07:35 Amen. 07:40 Our most gracious and loving Father in heaven, 07:44 we thank You and praise You for today. 07:47 Lord, many people are suffering and seeking cure right now. 07:52 I pray that You will be with them, 07:55 heal them physically, mentally, and spiritually 07:59 according to Your will. 08:01 And, Father, 08:03 please guide the doctors and nurses, 08:07 as well as the medical missionaries 08:10 who are trying to relieve the sick ones. 08:13 And, Lord, 08:14 help us to practice a healthy lifestyle. 08:18 And may the words we say 08:19 and the things we do 08:21 would bring glory and honor to You. 08:24 Thank You, Lord, 08:26 for hearing and answering our prayer, 08:28 in Jesus' name. 08:30 Amen. 08:35 Most Gracious Heavenly Father, 08:36 I come before You in the matchless 08:37 and worthy name of Your Son Jesus Christ, 08:39 who lived on earth as a man 08:41 and suffered the same things that we suffer. 08:43 Father, I confess 08:44 that we have often been rebellious 08:46 in regard to Your instruction 08:47 for keeping our body temples pure and holy 08:50 and refused to follow Your instructions. 08:52 Forgive us I pray. 08:53 Today, Father, knowing Your desire 08:56 that we prosper and be in health. 08:57 We come before You asking, 08:59 first of all that You fill the sick 09:00 and afflicted with hope and confidence in You. 09:03 We pray that You would turn their sorrow into joy 09:05 as You have promised 09:06 that the seemingly bad situation would work 09:08 for their salvation and for that of others. 09:11 Father, for those who are in good health, 09:13 we pray that they will follow the counsel 09:14 and promptings of the Holy Spirit 09:16 to be cooperative in doing the things 09:19 that will keep us healthy. 09:21 Finally, Father, we ask that You heal our minds 09:23 and give us the mind of Jesus 09:24 who is victorious over all temptations and live 09:26 so that we might have life more abundant here 09:29 and life eternal. 09:30 Thank You for hearing and answering my prayer 09:32 according to Your will, in Jesus' name. 09:35 Amen. 09:39 We read in the Bible a couple of verses 09:41 that remind us 09:43 that it's not only sicknesses in our body of... 09:53 Organs that need healing. 09:56 It's also our spirit that can be broken, 10:00 but Psalm 147:3 says, 10:04 "He, meaning Jesus, 10:05 heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." 10:10 And Proverbs 17:22 says, 10:12 "A cheerful heart is good medicine, 10:16 but a crushed spirit dries up the bones." 10:18 Father, I just want to pray right now 10:20 for those who are suffering from a broken heart 10:25 whose spirit has been crushed, 10:28 maybe by something someone said or 10:33 situation that they've gone through 10:34 that has disheartened them. 10:37 Maybe a loss or a harm. 10:41 God, I just ask that You would reach down 10:43 and as You are so faithful to do 10:46 be true to Your word, 10:49 that You will bind up the brokenhearted. 10:53 Thank You, Father, 10:54 that You have such a love and compassion for Your people. 10:58 I want to be kind and compassionate like that. 11:01 So I pray that You will use me 11:04 to speak to someone's life today, 11:09 to shine some light 11:10 and to be a source of encouragement 11:15 to the brokenhearted. 11:18 Lord, many viewers have written in. 11:23 One says, 11:24 "A friend and family have been flooded out 11:26 of their home in Ohio." 11:29 She's asking for salvation for the family. 11:31 And she's also asking for a deeper faith 11:36 for prayer partners 11:39 that God would bless her and grant her wisdom 11:43 as she studies the Word. 11:46 Father God, we can all use that. 11:50 We need more wisdom, 11:52 more understanding of Your Word. 11:56 A friend 11:57 who has been on a viewers' mind. 12:01 They don't know why, 12:04 but they're praying that 12:05 You would supply him with a lot of faith. 12:09 God when you place something, 12:11 when a name or a situation on our hearts, 12:14 help us to know that that's not just coincidence. 12:19 The Holy Spirit thank you 12:20 for the way you work in our lives 12:22 that you place people's names on our hearts 12:24 that we take time to stop and pray for them. 12:27 Help us to be sensitive to that. 12:33 There are viewers 12:34 who are asking for prayer for jobs and finances. 12:41 Lord, I ask in Jesus' name 12:42 that You would provide the right place for the people 12:48 that are requesting prayer for their job 12:50 for touching their finances, 12:53 that You would provide in a miraculous way, God, 12:56 that they will know it had to be the hand of God, 12:59 that there is no other excuse for it. 13:07 Father, for those who are asking for deliverance, 13:11 Lord God, 13:15 deliver for those who need a healing touch. 13:20 Oh, God, be their healer. 13:25 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 says, 13:29 "Do you not know that 13:30 your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit 13:32 who is in you, 13:34 whom you have received from God, 13:36 you are not your own. 13:37 You were bought at a price, 13:39 therefore honor God with your bodies." 13:43 I encourage you to eat well, stay well,
