  • When the Son of Man Comes, Will He Find Faith on the Earth? - Episode #36

    When the Son of Man Comes, Will He Find Faith on the Earth? - Episode #36
    Aug 15 2024

    This passage shows us some things about prayer that Jesus clearly wanted His disciples to understand.

    As we read it, let's examine our own hearts and ask, "How well do I understand what Jesus says here?"

    Parables on Prayer

    18 Now Jesus was telling the disciples a parable to make the point that at all times they ought to pray and not give up and lose heart, 2 saying, “In a certain city there was a judge who did not fear God and had no respect for man. 3 There was a [desperate] widow in that city and she kept coming to him and saying, ‘Give me justice and legal protection from my adversary.’ 4 For a time he would not; but later he said to himself, ‘Even though I do not fear God nor respect man, 5 yet because this widow continues to bother me, I will give her justice and legal protection; otherwise [a]by continually coming she [will be an intolerable annoyance and she] will wear me out.’” 6 Then the Lord said, “Listen to what the unjust judge says! 7 And will not [our just] God defend and avenge His elect [His chosen ones] who cry out to Him day and night? Will He delay [in providing justice] on their behalf? 8 I tell you that He will defend and avenge them quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find [this kind of persistent] faith on the earth?”

  • Are You a Mom Who Prays for Her Children? Then This Episode is For You! Episode #35

    Are You a Mom Who Prays for Her Children? Then This Episode is For You! Episode #35
    Jun 21 2024
    Well hello to you today, welcome to this episode of The Prayer Podcast. I’m thankful you’re joining me for this episode where we’re talking about moms, specifically encouraging moms to keep praying for their children. Have A Prayer Request? Submit It Here! A 60-Day Prayer Journal for Parents Praying Psalm 91 Audio Course There is a unique long-haul kind of praying that only mothers understand. We begin praying for them before they are born, as they develop and grow and are knit together by God in the womb. As newborns, oh my how a mother prays over that little baby! The first year, there is a lot to pray about. Developmentally alone, those prayers could fill an entire prayer journal for many moms. Toddlerhood, well, praying all the time, those shooting arrow kind of prayers all day long for protection, for patience, for the ability to be fully in the moment, for sleep, for safety, for time to both slow down and speed up, depending on the day. And that is just the start of a praying mom’s lifetime of prayer. Today I want to come alongside you as a fellow mom who prays daily for her children, and now my grandchildren as well. You are not alone in all the ups and downs that come with a life dedicated to covering your children in prayer, of the continual lifting up their needs and their broken areas before the Lord. It is possibly the most natural thing for a Christian mom to do, this praying, but it is also a choice we must make daily, especially when the praying is so long in obtaining an answer, when their choices break our hearts, when we know we are nearing the end of our rope, but all we can do is hang on and keep crying out to God for our children. If you’ve been dealing with long haul praying and the burden of being a praying mom has begun to feel heavy, weighing on your heart, always in the back of your mind, dreading the next phone call or text message, but still continuing in prayer, even waking up during the night to pray for your child…can I just say that while I can’t give you an in person hug and sit with you and let your share your heart and unload your burdens, I can do this: tell you that you are not alone, you are seen, your struggles and the burden you bear really is a noble cause, one of the highest possible causes in the Kindgom of God, and your labor in the Lord will not end up being in vain. Make no mistake, this kind of praying, going to the Lord on your child’s behalf when your own heart is broken and feels like it will never be mended, that is a labor not only of love, but for the disciple of Jesus, it is a labor in the Lord and He has promised that it will not be for nothing. While some may say that God is simply building your child’s testimony, today I don’t want to say that to you, because many of us cannot be comforted by that today. We know the place our child is living, and we can’t be soothed with platitudes or even with things that may well prove true in the end…because we carry the mom-burden in our hearts and minds at this moment, and we need to be seen, supported, and prayed for, even as we pray for our children. In 1 Samuel, we find Hannah at the temple praying for a child, as her womb had been barren and her heart was in anguish, and Eli the High Priest misunderstood her, assuming she was drunk. She had her tear-laden prayer answered, and my prayer for you today is that you, too, will very soon see the answer to the prayers you have prayed as a mother, the crying and the tears have all been captured in the Lord’s bottle, and may you see those answered prayers come to fruition soon, very soon. A mother’s heart holds things unique to her, and Mary the mother of Jesus treasured up things in her heart that were revealed to her about her son. Yes, Jesus lived as God in the flesh, and was the Savior for His earthly mother as well as for all mankind, for all who will receive Him. And yet, somehow, God allowed her to store up things in her heart that must have broken her heart in ways only moms can relate to. Those things you have stored up, treasured in your heart, the wonderful and joyous things and the things that are so incredibly painful that they rip a hole in your own soul, God knows all about those things and He knows all about your soul-ripping pain. I cannot begin to lessen that pain, but I can speak over you the truth that God has not failed to see all your hurt, all your tears, all your heartbreak and anguish, and He cares so very much for the state of your child and for the state of your heart. In all these things, we are more than conquerors, the New Testament tells us, and in those moments when we, as praying mothers, feel like anything but conquerors, God will do the heavy lifting. It may not feel like you are being protected, like your prayers are being heard, like this storm will ever end and the daylight break through and the sun shine on your child again…it may not feel like it, not one bit, but even so, ...

  • Where Two or Three Are Gathered... Matthew 18L15-20 Episode #34

    Where Two or Three Are Gathered... Matthew 18L15-20 Episode #34
    May 30 2024
    Hey there, hello to you today. Welcome to episode number 34 of The Prayer Podcast, and thanks for listening. Today we’re going to read some of Jesus’ words about prayer from the book of Matthew, chapter 18. I’m going to read from the Amplified Bible today, and I will start in verse 15 and read through verse 20. Have a prayer request? Click here! And this section of chapter 18 is titled “Discipline and Prayer” - so what Jesus says here isn’t solely and singularly about prayer. There’s something more to this passage, and that something has to do with discipline. Don’t think of discipline as a bad word. The word disciple is very similar to the word discipline, after all. Disciples of Jesus are called to be a disciplined people, you could say. Matthew 18:15-20 AMP “If your brother sins, go and show him his fault in private. If he listens and pays attention to you, you have won back your brother. But if he does not listen, take along with you one or two others, so that EVERY WORD MAY BE CONFIRMED BY THE TESTIMONY OF TWO OR THREE WITNESSES. If he pays no attention to them (refusing to listen and obey), tell it to the church, and if he refuses to listen even to the church, le them be to you as a Gentile (unbeliever) and a tax collector. I assure you and most solemnly say to you, whatever you bind (forbid, declare to be improper and unlawful) on earth shall have (already) been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose (permit, declare lawful) on earth shall have (already) been loosed in heaven. Again, I say to you, that if two believers on earth agree (that is, are of one mind, in harmony) about anything that they ask (within the will of God), it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered in My name (meeting together as my followers), I am there among them.” These five verses have a lot of counsel for us. First, the discipline portion was what Jesus mentioned here. Someone sins, and not someone who does not know the Lord, this is not about hitting the lost upside the head with our Bibles, this is about sin in someone who is a follower of Jesus. Go to him, or to her, in private first and show them their fault. Now I will say this: if the sin is very public, like on a platform, think of a literal platform like at a conference or it could be a virtual platform, then I have seen times when sin like that was addressed in the same manner it was committed. So, this seems touchy, like hmmm, but Jesus said to do it privately first, and He sure did. And that is what we ought to do. But if a very public leader in the church is leading church folk in sin, there is a need to make sure that the church understands what was sinful…because Jesus also said whoever leads one of these little ones to sin is in a bad place, in a bad way. Little ones can for sure be about children, and the Lord does not take that lying down. But a little one could also be someone who is new to the faith, has come to Jesus like a little child, fully trusting and all-in with Jesus, and if someone publicly misleads that new believer, well, just letting that go and not doing some kind of follow up (and immediately is best in this case, when the room is still occupied)...if we doing ensure new believers understand what was sinful, we aren’t discipling them. So I wanted to mention that, because sometimes it gets lost in the modern church, the follow up to make sure things are being addressed. There is a way to acknowledge that something was not right, was sinful and harmful to the body of Christ and still have the private moment of showing that person their fault. And the next step is witnesses, some others come along and help try to show them their fault. Why? So, they can be restored. The body doesn’t need any sick parts, and Jesus is returning for a pure bride, so we as the church are not wrong in trying to eliminate sickness and keep ourselves pure. The American culture smacks at this, doesn’t like this. But I am a Christian who happens to live in America, not an American Christian. My identity is in Christ, my home is in heaven, I am a pilgrim here, something of a nomad, and I’ve been told in the New Testament not to love the world…and so, I need to grow up a bit, take it on the chin sometimes, and accept that other believers can, and should, show me my fault. Disciplined discipleship is not a bad thing, and those of us who are honest can admit that. Also, based on this text, can I strongly encourage you to really listen when someone is bold and brave enough to do what Jesus says here and show you your fault? I’m talking to myself, and actually I am praying for this: Lord, when I am wrong, and one of Your people comes to me to show me my fault, my wrongness, would You enable me to deal with my sin and not take offense? To simply be Your daughter, in humility, and yield to You in that area of my life? Amen. This text is one we reference often, say, in our prayer ...
