May 2^nd 2010 Sunday Message Summary

Scriptures: Mark 1:35

Pray until the end so that God will be moved to answer them.  We must pray until they are answered; do it until the end.  We do this so that we can destroy satan and turn people back who were lost to the world.

We should pray about the problems that we face as well as for the problems of the nation and the world.  Disasters are happening in places all over the world.  About 89% are in places where they don’t believe in God.  About 10% happen in places where sin is too excessive. There is a reason for these disasters, do people know? God Almighty, who rules the entire world, supervises the heavenly family as well as the global family just like the parents of a household.

If we have been tormented or treated unjustly by people stronger than us, then we should pray to God and let him know.  We must tell God all the details in order for God to grant our petition.  We must plead for our families and the nation and the world.

There is an absolute reason why prayer is needed.  There are some things we can do with our physical bodies and some things we are unable to do.  When we can’t do something, we ask other people to help us.  When things are even impossible beyond help, then these are the things that we must pray for God to help us out with.  There are things that cannot be done even by the strength of a whole nation, so with these things, we must pray.

You need to know that someone prayed, putting their life on the line as the Prophet Elijah did and that God answered their prayer and so judged the areas of idol-worship. Know that this is the reason why various disasters took place around the globe. The power and authority of those who believe in God and Jesus are in their prayer. If they don’t pray, they become the weak party.

God and the Lord cannot handle the injustices without a condition.  There must be a prayer condition that is set in order for God to listen to the prayer and takes care of the prayer with justice.  If you wish to destroy evil, it is absolutely necessary for the good side to pray in the name of the Lord.  Then God will listen to the prayer and execute his judgment accordingly.

Pray about even the things that you can do on your own so that you may do it in a more ideal way. Pray about the impossible things that you can’t do with your human power so that God will take care of them. Everyone has time to pray each day. So pray like Elijah and report to God in the name of the Lord. Then, since we have done the responsibility of loosening on earth, God will definitely loosen it in heaven as well. In regards to your wishes also, if you keep them only in your heart and do nothing, God and the Lord don’t allow them to come true. Nothing happens if you do nothing. You must cook rice to have cooked rice. You must clean for a place to become clean. You must pray for your injustice to be vindicated.

Did Prophet Elijah just ask for the rain to fall?  It wasn’t until after he destroyed the wicked that he asked for the rain to fall.  In this way, we must deal with the wickedness first, then we can ask for blessings.  We must pray for the appropriate thing.  If we ask God to bless a nation that is completely wicked, will God bless it?  We must pray according to the deeds of the situation.  Only then will God take the appropriate action to clear it up.  You need to make a proper request to the Lord, then wait for a reply.

You must completely repent of all of your sins in order for the bondage and sins of the past to be cleared and solved. This equally applies to everyone: Your past sins must be cleared before you can advance in the present. The Lord spoke of this to the revelation-receivers in a serious tone also. He said, “If anyone does not clear the sins that they committed in the past through repentance, they have not resolved the past yet. Therefore, they cannot advance either in the present or in the future.”

Sins are like leeches.  At first it sucks the blood from the surface of your skin.  But as time goes by, it sucks deeper and deeper and leaves an even bigger wound.  It is the same with sin.  If we see a leech on our arms, wouldn’t we quickly take it off?  We should do the same with sin. Sin is satan.  Satan creeps into us slowly deeper and deeper.  We must quickly offer up Elijah prayer and get rid of sin and wickedness completely.

One persons prayer determines the fate of many.  If a person of prayer prays for someone, that someone can be cleared from their sins because of that prayer, but still must pay for their sins.

Pray for yourself, for your brothers, for your nation, for the world, for Providence, and for the teacher. You should pray for blessings, for the will of God to be fulfilled, for the judgment upon evil, for the prosperity of the righteous, for evangelizing lives, for those who are bound by the chains of sin, for your health and about your wrongs. There are so many things to pray for. Now is the time when the most urgent thing in all matters is prayer, but so many are not praying. Make praise and prayer a habit.  Praise and prayer must go hand in hand.

You need to speak to God and the Lord a lot in order to be close to them.  You can tell how close 2 people are in their conversation to each other.  In the same way, pray a lot to God, converse a lot with the Lord, and you will become closer to them.

If you pray, the Lord comes.  If you don’t pray, satan comes.  If you pray, even if satan comes, he just stands around and then he leaves.  Satan cannot do anything if you are praying.  It doesn’t’ mean you need to be on your knees all the time, but constantly be in conversation with the Lord.  We must destroy satan through the Elijah prayer.

More than any other times, the present is like the time of Elijah. The circumstance of this time period is the same. Therefore, we must pray in order to solve the problem. We should pray until we hear an answer from the Lord. Physical fights will not solve the matter. God is waiting for our prayer to come to Him. Pray together when everyone else is praying. The problem we are facing is a kind that we all must become one and sweep away like a powerful river. We need to pray in one heart. We should pray and let God and the Lord take care of the things that we can’t do with our bodies, the things that the laws will not solve, and the things that no one can handle.

God and the Lord keep listening to our prayer and are destroying Satan and evil.
