as I should. I love that. He says I'm in chains now. I'm an ambassador in chains. He literally was in chains, but he's speaking more than just literally. He's speaking, I am I am completely surrendered to the will of God. So pray for me. Pray that I have the courage to continue speaking boldly. This is a man that was in the middle of a jail cell, in the middle of a dungeon, saying I'm gonna continue to speak boldly. That's why I'm in here now. But I'm not gonna stop.

You got to have your fellow soldiers back and the whole purpose of even why you're in battle is because you're fighting for your people, you're fighting for others so you're battling on behalf of others. And I love that Paul says this and he even asks for prayer for himself here. He tells us we gotta pray in the spirit at all times on every occasion and pray for all believers everywhere and pray for me too. I need prayer. I need you, God's people, to pray for me. He knew the power of prayer. [00:05:27] (36 seconds)  #PrayForYourFellowSoldiers

``Now there's no separation. Now we can come boldly to the throne of God at any time. Now we can gather here and we can feel the presence of God as we worship him, as we pray, as we go into our own prayer closet, as we're driving to work or wherever we're going we could just we could have the presence of God literally right there with us. That's only because of Jesus. [00:11:55] (25 seconds)  #BoldAccessToGod

And here's the thing, if you read this book it's not like Job just was like, oh this doesn't bother me, this doesn't No, he was constantly crying out to God and just being real. But here's the thing about it, he never stopped going to God. That's the key here. It's not that he was just so strong and be like oh Lord you you take it away and you'll give it back and all I know I know. No. He was crying out. What is going on, God? But he went to God time and time again. He never abandoned the one he knew would never abandon him. [00:18:02] (39 seconds)  #NeverStopGoingToGod

But what about this understanding? Well, if if I didn't have if I pray a prayer and God doesn't do exactly what I want him to do it's because I didn't have enough faith in my prayer.

This is about how much if if this was full to the brim, you would be the smartest, wisest person in this God's understanding is all of the waters in all of the oceans put together. And that's just the beginning of his understanding. Try fitting all of the waters in all of the oceans into this cup. You can't do it. [00:44:46] (55 seconds)  #GodsInfiniteWisdom

to say don't stop praying. Don't stop interceding for your loved ones. Yes, sir. Don't stop praying for your prodigal sons and daughters. Yes. It took me almost ten years, at least, of running. Took many prayers from a woman that never got to see me actually come back to the lord and serve the lord. Don't stop praying even if it's been years.
