00:30 Romans 8:14-17 says "Those who are led by the spirit of God 00:35 are the children of God." 00:36 The spirit that you receive does not make you slaves 00:39 so that you live in fear again. Rather the spirit you received 00:43 brought about your adoption of Son-ship and by Him we cry 00:46 Abba, Father. The spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that 00:51 we are God's children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs. 00:54 Heirs in God and co-heirs with Christ if indeed we share 00:58 in His sufferings in order that we may also share in His 01:01 glory. Adoption. A judge utters a few words pounds his gavel 01:08 on the desk and a child receives a new family. 01:12 Spiritually speaking adoption is the gracious act of God 01:16 wherein He makes justified sinners His beloved children. 01:21 To be adopted is to receive God's name and to have access 01:26 to God's throne, to His pity, His protection, His provision 01:31 His discipline, and His promise to never abandon us. 01:35 Once we believe in Christ and we commit to spend our life 01:39 living for God, we belong to Him. 01:41 That's a good feeling, right? 01:46 Jesus my Lord will love me forever, 01:50 From Him no power of evil can sever. 01:55 He gave His life to ransom my soul 02:00 Now I belong to Him. 02:06 Now I belong to Jesus Jesus belongs to me 02:17 Not for the years of time alone, but for eternity. 02:30 Oh Lord, thank you for giving us the assurance of freedom 02:37 and for your amazing love for us. 02:40 We thank you in Jesus name. Amen 02:43 Heavenly Father, You are our Almighty God 02:49 yet you call us your children, because Jesus redeemed us 02:53 from the bondage of sin that we might receive 02:56 the adoption as your sons and daughters. 02:59 What a great and wonderful gift you have given us 03:02 through Jesus our redeemer. 03:04 You've sent forth the spirit of your Son into our hearts 03:08 allowing us to cry out to you our loving Father 03:12 Oh Father, God, we come to you seeking mercy and help 03:16 for our brothers and sisters affected and suffering because 03:20 of this Covid virus and all other diseases Lord. 03:24 We pray for healing, for strength, for restoration 03:28 to good health. Lord, we also pray for the outpouring of the 03:31 Holy Spirit heal us spiritually so that we're ready for Jesus' 03:36 glorious and soon return. Oh Lord, we are looking forward 03:41 to life with you forever in heaven and the new earth. 03:45 Lord, we love you. We pray this in Jesus name. Amen! 03:49 I thank you Father, I thank you for my adoption, 03:56 my adoption into the church family. 03:58 I thank you Father that you no longer see who I was 04:02 but you see who I am and you see who I will be. 04:06 Father, I thank you for your mercy and compassion 04:10 and I ask Father that you show the same mercy and compassion 04:14 to others, my brothers and sisters who seek you out 04:17 and love you Father. That they too might be adopted into 04:21 the church and into Your family. I thank you Lord for 04:26 hearing my prayers. In Jesus name. Amen! 04:34 Once I was lost in sins degradation. Jesus came down 04:42 to bring me salvation. He lifted me from sorrow and shame 04:51 and now I belong to Him. Now I belong to Jesus, 05:02 Jesus belongs to me. Not for the years of time alone, 05:12 but for eternity. 05:20 Dear Abba Father, Since creation you claim us 05:27 as your children. You never wanted that to change 05:30 but sin entered your perfect world and spoiled your plan. 05:34 and our relationship. Yet you continue to love us and 05:39 called us back. Jesus lived a sinless live and offered Himself 05:44 as a repairer of the broken family ties. 05:47 Thank you for making it possible through adoption to once again 05:53 be Your child. Thank you in the name of our big Brother 05:57 Jesus. Amen! 05:59 Father, I come to You again today and thank you for your 06:05 spirit of adoption Father. The fact that you chose us 06:09 to be adopted into your family it's just amazing Father. 06:14 The fact that you have redeemed us so that we can receive 06:17 that adoption as sons. Father, we are so blessed by you 06:21 Bless with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places 06:25 in Christ. And Father, you chose us that we would be 06:29 sons not just born naturally Father, but you have adopted us, 06:33 you picked us to be in your family. The love that you have 06:37 for us is amazing and I thank you so much Father, 06:41 I love you so much and I call out to you Abba, Abba Father. 06:47 Dear God, Thank you for the blessing of 06:52 adoption. Thank you for the men and women who have 06:56 opened their homes to those who don't have a family 06:58 to call their own. I pray for those who are still looking 07:01 to find a place to belong. That you will place them 07:04 where they need to be. Where they will be cared for 07:07 and loved. We thank you for everything you have done for us 07:11 and we ask these things in Jesus name. Amen! 07:20 Joy floods my soul for Jesus has saved me 07:25 freed from my sin that long had enslaved me 07:32 His precious blood He gave to redeem 07:39 now I belong to Him. 07:45 Now I belong to Jesus, Jesus belongs to me 07:56 not for the years of time alone, but for eternity. 08:11 Loving Father when I think of how much you love me 08:16 to call me your child and when I think of telling others 08:21 that they can be your child also, what joy that fills me. 08:27 Thank you Lord, that being yours and having you as a Father 08:35 it prompts me and encourages me to worship and to live my life 08:41 in a manner that pleases and honors you. 08:46 Father, I lift up men and women who didn't grow up with good 08:51 relationships with their fathers. 08:52 For those who are distant from their earthly fathers. 08:56 Holy Spirit I asked that you bring healing to their minds 09:01 and their hearts. Fill the emptiness in their hearts 09:04 with the tender understanding of adoption. 09:10 Thank you Father for the hope we have through adoption. 09:16 Thank you for the healing, thank you for the inheritance 09:19 Thank you for your presence that lives within us 09:23 because of your adoption and Lord, I even thank you for the 09:28 discipline that reminds us of how much you love 09:33 and care for us. We are your children, you are our Father. 09:40 Right now I just want to pray for a very serious situation 09:48 for missing children. Father you know where these 09:53 missing souls are. God I ask that you would just 09:59 give peace of mind to the parents, the hurting families 10:06 and Father I pray for those who are holding the missing child, 10:16 the captors. God, I pray that you would stir their hearts 10:24 to release those missing children back to their families. 10:28 And God, bring restoration, Lord bring closure and healing 10:40 and Lord I pray for peace in our homes, in our families. 10:47 Lord, I pray for grandparents who are raising their 10:56 grandchildren. Father I ask that you will give 11:01 them strength and wisdom and courage and love, 11:09 great understanding. Father for those who are encountering 11:20 physical ailments, disease and viruses. 11:27 God, this world is such an ugly place, so many people 11:34 are hurting and sick. Lord, I thank you that you have created 11:42 our bodies to mend,to heal. We know Lord that ultimately 11:51 it is your mighty touch that does the healing. 11:55 So I pray Oh, God, that you will let healing rise 12:01 in the lives of the sick. For those who are facing financial 12:10 needs, I pray Lord that you would be a provider. 12:16 For those who have cars who need maintenance, 12:23 those who have houses that need upkeep and they're finding 12:29 themselves without provision to do so. Lord I pray 12:34 that you would please provide for those who need finances 12:44 to cover medical expenses. Father, I'm asking on you 12:48 to provide in a miraculous way. 12:54 Father God, thank you that you are faithful, you are our 13:01 Father. John 1:12 reminds us but as many who receive Him, 13:10 to them, He gave the right to become children of God 13:14 to those who believe on his name. 13:17 And 1John 3:1 says "Behold what manner of love the Father 13:21 has bestowed on us. That we should be called children of God 13:25 therefore the world does not know us because it did not 13:29 know Him. But we belong to Him, right? 13:34 Now I belong to Jesus, Jesus belongs to me, 13:41 not for the years of time alone, but for eternity. 13:50 Please send us your prayer requests or become a part 13:54 of our Prayer Warrior Team.
