At the right time, at the right moment, if you do not lose heart, if you don't give up, if you don't quit, if you just keep on pushing, keep on praying, keep on praising in due time, you shall reap. You shall receive. You shall get what you prayed for. [01:08:49] (41 seconds)  #DontQuitKeepPushing Download clip

He said, first of all, you don't have cancer, and you have about a zero percent can chance of ever having cancer. He said, go and do what you do.

That's what prayer is. Prayer is talking to the God of the universe. When Jesus died on the cross, the Bible says that the veil that was in the temple that separated the average person from God, there was a veil and people would talk to the priest and the priest would go into the holy of holies on the other side of the veil and he would talk to god for them. But when Jesus was on the cross, the Bible says the veil in the temple was torn in two. It was pulled down. No longer was there a separation. From that point on, we can go into the holy of holies with the king of kings. We can talk to God because he wants to talk to you. He wants to hear from you.

When you pray, you can conquer fear. You can conquer anxiety. You can conquer your depression. You can conquer all those things. Second Timothy one seven says, God has not given us a spirit of fear. God has not given us a spirit of fear. I don't know what you're afraid of. I don't know why you can't sleep at night. I don't know what your trouble is, but I want you to understand, it's not from God. God has not given us a spirit of fear, but power, love, and a sound mind.

So when you begin to praise him, fear cannot stay. Anxiety cannot stay. Depression cannot stay. Heaviness cannot stay. When you begin to praise him, as as praise goes up, fear goes out. As praise goes up to him, fear, anxiety, depression, heaviness, it has to leave you in Jesus' name. Philippians four six, he said, be anxious for nothing. Get rid of that anxiety. Be anxious for nothing. But in everything, with prayer and supplication, give thanks to God, and the peace of God will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. don't be afraid. Fear not. Don't be anxious. Quit worrying. Put your trust in God. And when you do, when you pray, fear, anxiety, depression, it's conquered. It has to go.

Your prayer activates supernatural results. And when you have breakthrough because you pray, it's not random. It is the result of your prayer. So we have to pray. We have to believe. We have to receive, and then we have what we prayed for. We receive it, and we have it in Mark eleven twenty four. Your Bible says, I say to you look at your neighbor and see he's talking to me. Whatever whatever things you ask, whatever things you say, whatever things you verbalize, whatever things you open your mouth and talk to God about when you pray, believe. That's your faith getting activated. How do we activate our faith? With our words. We activate our faith with our words, but we have to believe. He said, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe, activate your faith that you receive them, and you might have them. Oh, I missed it. You will have them.

That's what we have to do. If you want to move heaven, if you wanna see answered prayer, if you want people to get saved, if you want deliverance, if you want breakthrough, if you want miracles, if you want a supernatural touch from God, we must pray, and we must praise. We must push through with our prayer, and we must push through with our praise and our worship. Galatians six nine says, and while you're doing all these things that we do as Christians, don't grow weary while you're doing good. Don't get tired. Don't give up. Don't quit. Don't throw in the towel. Don't don't don't don't do that. Don't quit. [01:08:08] (42 seconds)  #PrayPraisePersist Download clip
