Prayer is not merely a religious duty, but a direct invitation to approach God. It is a simple yet profound act of drawing near to the Creator of the universe. We are encouraged to come with confidence, believing in His existence and His nature as a rewarder to those who diligently seek Him. This confidence stems from knowing that God is able to supply all our needs and that His house is indeed a house of prayer. [34:53]
Hebrews 11:6
And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who diligently seek him.
Reflection: What is one specific area of your life where you need to approach God with greater confidence this week, believing He is both present and a rewarder?
To "hallow" God's name means to make it holy, to separate it above all others. In our approach to God, we are called to elevate the name of Jesus, recognizing it as the name above every name. This act of sanctification acknowledges His unique power and authority over all circumstances, ailments, fears, and addictions that bear a name. When we separate His name, we tap into the miracle-working power inherent in His holiness. [01:03:06]
Philippians 2:9-11
Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Reflection: How can you more intentionally separate and honor the name of Jesus in your daily thoughts and conversations, especially when facing challenges that seem to have a name of their own?
Life inevitably brings times of need and adversity. Yet, we are invited to approach God's throne of grace with confidence, knowing we will receive mercy and find grace to help us precisely when we need it most. This grace is not just a gentle favor, but the divine ability to succeed through adversity. God allows battles to come so we might realize His grace is truly sufficient, empowering us to overcome. [37:40]
Hebrews 4:16
Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
Reflection: Reflect on a current "battle" or adversity you are facing. How might you lean into God's grace as the ability to succeed through this challenge, rather than trying to overcome it in your own strength?
Sometimes, the promises of God's Word can feel abstract, like a mere thought. However, true faith transforms these thoughts into physical reality, giving them "teeth" and a "bite" in our lives. Just as the woman with the issue of blood clung to the prophecy of healing in the Messiah's "wings," we are called to approach God with a conviction that His Word is real and active. When His promises become a tangible reality, we experience His wonder-working power. [01:09:25]
Malachi 4:2
But for you who fear my name, the sun of righteousness shall rise with healing in its wings. You shall go out leaping like calves from the stall.
Reflection: Is there a specific promise from God's Word that you've held as an abstract idea? What practical step can you take this week to allow that promise to move from a thought to a tangible reality in your experience?
In a world seeking comfort and ease, the call of God's Kingdom often involves a deeper, more challenging truth. It's a call to simplicity, to make the main thing the main thing: separating the name of Jesus. This path may require us to "die" to certain things, to "fight" and "struggle" through challenges, but it is precisely in this commitment that we find true purpose and belonging. People are drawn to something that matters, something pure and true, and that is the authentic invitation of the Kingdom. [01:32:15]
Matthew 16:24-25
Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.”
Reflection: Considering the "hard work" and "struggle" that can be part of following Jesus, what is one area where you might be resisting God's call to a deeper, more challenging commitment to His Kingdom?
The congregation is invited into a posture of continual worship and bold approach to God, rooted in the conviction that prayer is simply the act of coming near to the throne of grace. Worship flows from a heart that knows God’s name is holy and separate; when Jesus’ name is sanctified—set apart as the name above every name—miracle-working power is released. The teaching emphasizes faith that moves from abstract wishing to concrete expectation: when faith becomes physical it acquires teeth and changes circumstances. The story of the woman with the issue is held up as the paradigm—she read the Scriptures, believed that the Messiah would carry “healing in his wings,” pushed through the crowd, touched the hem of his garment, and was made whole. That moment is presented not as quaint history but as an operational pattern for how approach, Word, and faith intersect to activate God’s power.
Practical pastoral counsel threads through the messages: distractions rob believers of blessing, confidence is required to approach God, and grace is the supernatural enablement to succeed in trials. Prayer is taught as an intentional discipline: come believing God is rewarder and bring requests with the full expectation of receiving. Testimonies of healing and divine intervention corroborate the teaching—bodies, minds, and spirits need touch—and corporate agreement in prayer is encouraged because two or more together establish power. The preacher presses for spiritual seriousness: the church must be known for separating Jesus’ name, offering a place where people find peace, truth, and the anointing they cannot find elsewhere.
Finally, the assembly is given a challenge to be first in and last out—an uncompromising people willing to fight spiritual battles and carry revival to a needy world. The year ahead is framed as harvest time, calling the faithful to “keep the main thing the main thing”: worship, sound doctrine about Christ’s name, disciplined approach in prayer, and a faith that acts. The closing benediction seals the prayers and offerings with expectation, releasing blessing for miracles, provision, and renewed devotion for all who respond.
``the the further I dig, the more I try to make it, god keeps reminding me. Hey, preacher. Keep it simple. We've gone on with so many bigger and better things. We forgot the simplicity. Make the main thing the main thing. As a pastor, we're making the main thing the main thing.

To sanctify means to separate. Come Wednesday night, we're going hit this hard. To sanctify means to separate. You separate something or you to sanctify something is to anoint something. If you anoint it, that's a religious be honest with you. It's it's it's it's a religious function that you do that that you are that that you anoint something to separate is to be holy, and so we come to him because his name is sanctified. We come to him because his name is separate. We come to him because his name is anointed because he don't have an anointing. He is the anointed one. We come to him because he is hallowed. He is holy and if he's holy, then there's miracle work and power in that which is holy.

Just because your prayer is not getting answered doesn't mean it's not gonna be answered. Just because you have an await doesn't mean it's not gonna show up. It's gonna happen because you realize that you have sanctified a name, you have separated a name, and god has given him a name that's above anything you're going through and that that name is everything's gonna bow and everything's gonna confess that this name that you're praying in is going to overcome and and and without without fail, you're gonna recover all. Amen? Yes. Yes. That's what it says. It's all locked up in that name.
