You are so right about the prayer language! Sometimes when I feel 'speechless', the Holy Spirit' provides what I should be praying about! Thank you Lord, for this precious gift!
We got married November 22, 1986. After tests, we were told on May 9, 1990 that we would never conceive a child. I found I was pregnant on September 24, 1993. Due date was May 23, 1994. My son came on May 9, 1994--4 years to the day of when they said it was impossible for us to have a baby. GOD has a wonderful way of proving them wrong.
Another encouraging message from Pastor JD. Thank you, pastor, for sharing your personal story that beautifully demonstrates that nothing is impossible for God. My prayer is for my husband, son, and daughter to turn to Jesus before it’s too late. May God continue to bless you, your family, your ministry, and your physical and online church. ✝️
Amen praise God❣ Thank you Pastor JD💞 That that was the sermon I needed to hear God is a get to not of got too. May the peace of Elohim be with us all💗
God is Sovereign and He is All Knowing and will Always have the last say in All things, not human beings ! Therefore TRUST THE LORD with All your heart and lean not unto your own understanding In All your ways ACKNOWLEDGE HIM, and HE Will make your paths straight! (proverbs 3 v 5~6)
Sometimes when I am travelling on my own in my car - I feel to pray in tongues and sometimes I will burst out into song in the Spirit! Its so amazing - the tangible Presence of the Lord brings joy to my soul!! :) Bless you all and Maranatha! Lord Jesus :) xox
✝️🙏✨❤️ Beloved Pastor JD! I cannot thank you enough for this brilliant sermon series on Ephesians, Chapter 6 🙌. I’ve never heard a better expository of this crucial passage. I always wondered, how do we REALLY put the armor on? Thank you for all the hard work, prayer, time, and love you put into every message! My husband & I travel for evangelism full time. YOU are my Pastor, & to so many needing an encouraging, humble, man “after God’s own heart.” I keep you, your wife, & especially your children in my prayers daily! In Him Who Lives🌅SOLI DEO GLORIA!🌅 Love & Prayers to ALL here! ❤️🙏 Christ Be All Around YOU! ✝️
Needed to hear this. So many things right now in my life that seems impossible, but regardless of what I think or feel , I know Everything is Possible with HIM. Always enjoy and look forward to your messages. Please pray for me..God knows the needs. May God bless You.
This teaching is exactly what I needed to hear. My prayer partner recently went to be with the Lord therefore I am in need of someone to speak with in daily agreement.
Vicki, I am 72 years old and have had two precious prayer partners who are now with the Lord in heaven. God will bring someone to you again, for it is His design and pleasure for two or more likeminded ones to gather in prayer. It may surprise you who it will be. But it will be good! I have another prayer partner now and our prayer times are rich in Christ with many wonderful answers!
Thank you J.D., like every week i sit and paint while listening to you and you always lift my spirit and bring so much to my life with your amazing way of teaching God's words. Last night i had a dream, we where thousands of people in a building all dressed up in white and we where waiting, almost like waiting for boarding the plane , and we all had a ticket with us and 3 things that we needed to go where we where going. Number one was "command" ( i think it's God's command) the second and third i can't remember but it said beside it "JD Farag was taking care of the second and third" and you JD where the coordinator of all that, walking to everybody making sure we are ready, and all throughout the dream there was a song playing in the building from Eddie Money " two tickets to paradise", then i woke up but so so happy. God bless you JD you and your family ! John.
I give All Glory to God 🙏🏼 The Holy Ghost is so faithful to lead me to Pastors preaching The True Word of God. Your sermons are a blessing! I pray for your ministry and a safe up coming trip. In Our Lord Jesus Christ’s precious name. Amen❤️🙏🏼🕊 NE TN Mountains
Wow! Thank you Pastor. I've been fighting cancer for 3 years and I was about to go shopping when I felt great fatigue overcoming me and thought, "well, I guess it's just going to be one of those days" - then I somehow tuned in to this video. I started praying in my prayer language about halfway through and now I'm all better and I'm headed out the door. I could go on, but you probably have some prayers to pray...
God always sends us a message on praying for the impossible exactly when we need it. We also have a story about God giving us a baby when it seemed impossible. Twice exactly. Without getting personal we need prayers for the impossible right now
Thank you for your great message for God. I am confused about something though. I have asked the Lord many times to please give me the gift of being able to speak in tongues. It has never come upon me. I've had a couple of Christians tell me that I need to just start muttering strange sounds and practicing this until it becomes more natural. I find this difficult to believe. It should never be forced should it? How would I know if it was actually the spirit or me just saying a bunch of nonsense out of my mouth. I understand that we all have gifts but that we don't all have every gift. I feel as though maybe my prayers are not being answered because I'm not praying in the spirit even though I desperately want to. I do pray a lot. I do believe I am saved. But this message today has greatly confused me and makes me feel as though I'm missing out on something. Why would I not be given this privilege? I've been a Christian for 28 years now. Thank you for any biblical wisdom you can give me.
Sherriden, I have struggled with this exact thought also. I know that I am HIS, and pray daily, often, but have never been graced with the gift of tongues, in a prayer language. I've been told to "practice" too: and it seems manufactured. I agree if the LORD desires that I speak in a special prayer language, HE will open my tongue to speak it. HE answers my prayers daily, as I sit quietly before HIM, seeking HIS heart for the prayers HE places on my heart. I will pray for both of us, that LORD willing, HE may yet grace us with a prayer language.
@@susancabral5693 Thank you so much for your words of encouragement Susan. I really appreciate them. I will gladly lift you up in prayer also. God Bless 😊
God is a mindblower love Him for whom HE IS...especially when the answer is "no." Pastor will you please pray for a Brazilian ministry called White Fields that reaches out for lost souls in the Amazon Basin and also in the northeastern part of Brazil.? My cousin Kelen Gaspar and her husband Dulcival started this ministry back in 2000, pray that the Lord will send more workers and more support. Thank you so much for the encouraging words, that stimulates us to seek our Lord Jesus Christ more through diligent prayer. God bless you and your family tremendously!
Ill be honest, I’ve grown tired of praying because I feel like it’s not working. I’m going thru the biggest trial of my life because of something my husband did and myself and my kids are suffering because of it. I’m burnt out on praying and waiting for my prayers to be answered. It seems like my prayers are falling on deaf ears or the Lord has turned away from me. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong but I’m tired of life!
Sister don't give up be encouraged and read Job and know that through all his trials God didn't speak until chapter 38. That's a lot of chapters to suffer before his prayers were answered yet the Lord restored him and his family. I pray for this woman Lord that You would hear her and that her prayer would be in Your will to perform it in the name of Your Son Yeshua ben YHWH amen
I hear you loud and clear I am kinda in a similar situation. But I know that Jesus can come through even to the last second. To possibly show others that he always has his childrens back. I am here for you if you need to vent
I would be remiss if I didn't tell you that prayer is not only meant for the one you are praying for but it's meant to change our hearts as we pray. Maybe softening your heart is what the Lord wants. Talk to your Father and ask for Him to show you. I hope all this helps God bless and keep you in Jesus name amen
I’ve found myself, this year, where you are at now and I just want to encourage you to keep praying. God hears our prayers always, we just don’t see everything God sees. Our vision is limited, compared to His vision, and it’s understandable that we get discouraged and frustrated. I know God wants the best for us so in that, we have hope. I’m praying that you will keep praying, and I’ll stand with you in your prayers for your situation. ❤️🙏🏻
+AllSaintsArmy 888 Pray without ceasing, trust in Jesus. As far as what your husband did, always always forgive. To quote the great English poet, Alexander Pope: "To err is human; to forgive, divine.
pray now so you do not become prey... Pray now for the needs of others so when you have need you know how to pray. when you pray all the time you know how to pray when it counts. Pray! The Holy Ghost will lead.. just follow. Train your prayer muscle otherwise it will be weak... in other words... PRAY!
I guess it's not coincidence that I'm under attack physically, mentally after deciding to get back to God. Edit: a year later and yes he delivered me. Nothing's perfect but God.
I'm happy that Pastor J.D got a son when he prayed for a son, because he lost his both parents and he was not a parent, as he said. But I cannot help but wonder why he didn't pray to God for a child, girl or boy, just a child. Are girls of lesser value? Maybe it is just me, but still, I would be happy to get a child not matter what gender if I was childless.
All children are gifts from God. Maybe J.D asked for a son because the adoption of the little girl failed. Not judging or anything, just wondering why he prayed "God give me a SON. A SON!".Maybe it is just a cultural thing, a son would pass on the family name, a girl wouldn't. I don't judge anyone here. But if God had given him a daughter that time when he prayed for a son, would he still have been equally amazed? I hope so. Still, I'm happy that God works miracles, for J.D. and for many more people who pray! God bless.
Have you not seen the love and pride JD has for his daughter, for his sons also but when his daughter sings he can't speak for the emotion in his 💓. I know from experience of longing for a baby and praying for a son, then having 3 girls before I had a son, you are just so greatful to have a baby it doesn't matter boy or girl.
This was so *extremely helpful* to me. I had been taught that speaking in tongues was a gift for for another time, not eliminated entirely, but only for special occasions, for example to tell the gospel to someone who did not speak your language. If there was no interpretation, if there were no one in particular being spoken to, it was not the real gift of tongues it was just fake gibberish. and make no mistake, fake tongues is a thing. I have heard the fake gift. It is not good. But where there is a counterfeit, there is often a real. This message is so freeing. I have read Ephesians 6 and 1Corinthians 14 but somehow missed the point entirely. 1 Corinthians 14:28 "But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God." I saw the *Keep silence in the church* but missed entirely "speak to himself, and to God" and this verse: (Ephesians 6:18) "Praying always with all prayer and supplication *in the Spirit* and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;" Sure I have read that and was taught that meant according to the revealed will of God. Praying according to the revealed will of God is a good thing, but that is not what is says is it? It says *in the Spirit* When I pray, occasionally strange words would come out of my mouth. I would always stop. That can't be real "tongues" as there is no one here to speak to. Now I know it may be real. I only want it if it real. That is why hearing you preach (1 Corinthians 14:15) "What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and *I will pray with the understanding also* : I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also." hearing this makes my heart glad. I will allow myself to pray in those strange words, but I will also pray for understanding of the words.
here is a link to a different take on speaking in tongues. Skip forward to about 20 minutes. They disagree, but I suspect the truth is somewhere in between ua-cam.com/video/dC_HtZq44yA/v-deo.html
Pastor J.D. Everyone is talking about Isaiah 17 judgement against Damascus , And Ezekiel 38 Gog Magog prophesy . Nobody ever talks about the Ezekiel 29 prophesy against Egypt... Egypt has been invaded and conquered by Babylon, the Greek , the Roman, The Ottoman, even Napoleon . One of his cannons blew the nose of the Sphinx off. Israel defeated Egypt in 1967 . But never has the people of Egypt been taken into captivity and Egypt left uninhabited no one even passing thru it for 40 years . This 40 years becomes problematic with end time eschatology.There are several camps "opinions" concerning this prophesy. 1) The scoffers use it as proof that the prophesy of God is not inerrant 2) some say the prophesy has not been fulfilled and that it pushes Daniels 70th week out at the very least another 1/2 Century into the future. And 3) the prophesy starts in the time of Jacobs trouble and is fulfilled in the Millennial Kingdom . Perhaps nuclear radiation will be the reason no one passes thru Egypt for 40 years. What is your opinion ?
I have never spoken in tongues, unless you count i speak German? an unknown babbling is not tongues. when tongues is spoken it is a known language and should be used in presenting the gospel according to what i have learned. I may be mistaken but I haven't found where tongues is a prayer language? when the Holy Spirit prays for us it cannot be uttered(not Spoken) But one thing for sure Prayer should be an everyday must. GOD Bless JD .
Please go back and prayfully read Esphesians 6 and 1 Corinthians 14 again. Yes the spirit does pray for us without words (cannot be uttered) but Paul also talks of praying in tongues.
Just to add to what was said before: The issue of tongues seems to be a balancing act. *Tongues are a gift* from God, but it is a gift that can be misused, abused, and counterfeited. *PRO* 1 Corinthians 14:18 I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all:1 Corinthians 14:39 Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues. *CON* 1 Corinthians 14:19 Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue. 1 Corinthians 14:22-23 "Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe. {23} If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those that are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad?" As for a prayer language, I think this verse implies it: 1 Corinthians 14:28 "But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God." speaking to himself and to God, isn't that private prayer?
My husband 's (I am a woman) friend once prayed in German at a charismatic church and they thought he was speaking in tongues. 🤦♀️ I think there is too much focus on that particular gift. I have not been given it but I have asked the Holy Spirit to speak to God when I was so distraught that I couldn't even think a coherent thought of what to say.
*Prophetic* *Scriptures* *about* *Prayer* *from* *known* *Servants* *of* *God:* Jeremiah 20:7 You tricked me, LORD, and I was really fooled. You are stronger than I am, and you have defeated me. People never stop sneering and insulting me. Job 12:1-6 1 Then Job replied: 2 “Doubtless you are the only people who matter, and wisdom will die with you! 3 But I have a mind as well as you; I am not inferior to you. Who does not know all these things? 4 *“I* *have* *become* *a* *laughingstock* *to* *my* *friends,* *though* *I* *called* *on* *God* *and* *he* *answered-* *a* *mere* *laughingstock,* *though* *righteous* *and* *blameless!* 5 Those who are at ease have contempt for misfortune as the fate of those whose feet are slipping. 6 The tents of marauders are undisturbed, and those who provoke God are secure- those God has in his hand.
I wish I could finish this video but there are so many interruptions, anyone else having a problem with this video pausing and not loading over and over? :(
I wish you would preach a sermon on when you do pray, and it seems like the Lord isn't hearing or answering your prayers. Does it mean I'm not praying correctly if my prayers aren't answered?
prayers are answered according to God's Will, God's Way, God's plans and purposes, in God's Divine Perfect Timing with His Perspectives for our Protection and Peace.....and Ultimately for the Glory of God! there is a reason for unanswered/'delayed' prayers..... either a No or a Wait patiently (ultimate test of faith) Nevertheless keep talking to God because of a personal love relationship with Jesus Christ ! Enjoy this Everlasting Love Relationship with the Father! Thanksgiving prayers are very important as they keep our hearts grateful for what the Lord has Done for us! (undeserving)
Notice in Daniel 12:1& 2 there are two resurrections the resurrection of life and the resurrection of contempt. The resurrection of contempt happens after the thousand year reign of Christ and the resurrection of life at the end of the tribulation as stated in Revelation 20 verses 1 - 4 this is the first resurrection. In chapter 7 of Revelation verse 9- 12 it talks about people who went through the great tribulation and are now in heaven. In 1 Corinthians 15:52 it says at the last trumpet that we go up and in Matthew 24: 29 - 31 after the tribulation of those days that Christ will send His angels to get us and also in Mar 13:24-27 as well the same. There is only one resurrection of life and one of contempt. All the other references referred to in scripture have to be talking about the one resurrection of life after the tribulation. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 and second Thessalonians 2:1-12, Matthew 13:37-43. Which means that the seven seals the seven trumpet the seven bowls and the seven angels are in order each year of the seven years of the seven year period. It all lines up. Check it out for yourself. Look at the Bowls of wrath and see who gets them. The first is for sores to form on those who get the mark or worship the beast and we don't know which sea will turn to blood but it makes sense that it would be near the anti Christ headquarters. and the 5 months of the locusts only attack those who don't have the seal of God on their foreheads. Darkness and paid for the anti Christ and those who worship him or get his mark. then the sea dries up so the army can come and destroy the anti Christ but Jesus and His army comes and Jesus kills all who have the mark and worship the beast.
I feel like whenever I pray it never amounts to anything. I mean, for the most part, even just the little things aren't frequently answered. And the big things, well... pretty much never. I have full faith Abba can answer my prayers but He doesn't seem to want to. Of course I have faith he can answer a prayer, he created the universe didn't He? But why won't he say a single word to me or even answer just one prayer??? :( I'm going through great testing right now too. Although I know He's with me It feels like He's not in the slightest.
feeling and faith are on the opposite end! feelings fluctuate and are unreliable! Faith comes from within your heart where the Holy Spirit resides! Keep Trusting the Lord Jesus Christ of the Bible ! Spend time reading and meditating on His Word and Truth day and night! psalm 1 v 1~3 joshua 1 v 7~9
+Daniel Joshua With respect... _"If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. _*_But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways._* James 1:5-8 You MUST ask, believing it will be done. If you're praying in God's will, your prayer WILL be answered. You cannot doubt Him. Ever. He wants us to trust Him. He has given us the gift of faith, but we must exercise that gift when the rubber meets the road.
Sometimes God makes us wait. Sometimes He has something different for us and our prayers will change to reflect that. Is what you are praying for what God wants for You? I am not saying you are asking for anything bad. Maybe God has something better. (Better because He knows what you need better than you do).
Prayer language? The Lord hasn’t given me a spirit prayer language. No wonder most of my prayers go unanswered. I have asked to be filled with the Holy Spirit - I guess he doesn’t want me to have it.
He does want you to have the Holy Ghost and you know it! Like the sermon taught- NOTHING is in possible for YAHUWAH GOD!!!! Father will fill you up with his Holy Ghost but it isn't always instant. Abba moves differently for different people. Some are prophets, some are seers. But all are God's children and He wished to dwell in you. In HIS will and HIS way all will fall into place. All things work together for the good of those who love God. XXX shalom
Honestly Me, I don't have a prayer language, either, even though I have asked for it. Yet, I have had so many answered prayers I cannot possibly know how many there have been. I know the Holy Spirit fills me, and works in me and through me. We do not have to have an unknown prayer language for God to hear our prayers and to answer powerfully. The prayer language, speaking in tongues, etc., is something I do not deny, but neither do I believe every believer must have it in order to fully experience God's will and power.
You don't need one. God wants a sincere heart. Just admit to Him you are not sure what to say. Ask Him for the words. I never got a prayer language but I have been given Bible verses to pray
You are so right about the prayer language! Sometimes when I feel 'speechless', the Holy Spirit' provides what I should be praying about! Thank you Lord, for this precious gift!

I just exploded in tears and thanked God for be so amazing ... Your personal sharing really hit me JD thank you and God Bless you Brother
Yes.it.is. Prayer is the answer to everything.
Amen!!! God will give us the desires of our hearts! That was beautiful, thank you Pastor JD!!!
Pastor J.D. Farag, your preaching is a great gift from God.
Yes thank you Lord for always giving us the answer.
Thank you J.D., like every week i sit and paint while listening to you and you always lift my spirit and
bring so much to my life with your amazing way of teaching God's words. Last night i had a dream,
we where thousands of people in a building all dressed up in white and we where waiting, almost
like waiting for boarding the plane , and we all had a ticket with us and 3 things that we needed
to go where we where going. Number one was "command" ( i think it's God's command) the second
and third i can't remember but it said beside it "JD Farag was taking care of the second and third"
and you JD where the coordinator of all that, walking to everybody making sure we are ready,
and all throughout the dream there was a song playing in the building from Eddie Money " two
tickets to paradise", then i woke up but so so happy. God bless you JD you and your family !
John.
Thank you for reminding us that prayer is a "get to" instead of a "got to". Shalom
Great message! Really needed this hopefully I can retain some if this and start implementing this in my prayer life. God bless you
oh what peace we often forfeit
oh what needless pain we bear
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in Prayer!
I give All Glory to God 🙏🏼 The Holy Ghost is so faithful to lead me to Pastors preaching The True Word of God. Your sermons are a blessing! I pray for your ministry and a safe up coming trip. In Our Lord Jesus Christ’s precious name. Amen❤️🙏🏼🕊

I hear you loud and clear I am kinda in a similar situation. But I know that Jesus can come through even to the last second. To possibly show others that he always has his childrens back. I am here for you if you need to vent
I would be remiss if I didn't tell you that prayer is not only meant for the one you are praying for but it's meant to change our hearts as we pray. Maybe softening your heart is what the Lord wants. Talk to your Father and ask for Him to show you. I hope all this helps God bless and keep you in Jesus name amen
I’ve found myself, this year, where you are at now and I just want to encourage you to keep praying. God hears our prayers always, we just don’t see everything God sees. Our vision is limited, compared to His vision, and it’s understandable that we get discouraged and frustrated. I know God wants the best for us so in that, we have hope. I’m praying that you will keep praying, and I’ll stand with you in your prayers for your situation. ❤️🙏🏻
+AllSaintsArmy 888 Pray without ceasing, trust in Jesus. As far as what your husband did, always always forgive. To quote the great English poet, Alexander Pope: "To err is human; to forgive, divine.
pray now so you do not become prey... Pray now for the needs of others so when you have need you know how to pray. when you pray all the time you know how to pray when it counts. Pray! The Holy Ghost will lead.. just follow. Train your prayer muscle otherwise it will be weak... in other words... PRAY!
Thanks again J.D.!!! And I don't mean Jack Daniels🕇
I guess it's not coincidence that I'm under attack physically, mentally after deciding to get back to God. Edit: a year later and yes he delivered me. Nothing's perfect but God.
I'm happy that Pastor J.D got a son when he prayed for a son, because he lost his both parents and he was not a parent, as he said. But I cannot help but wonder why he didn't pray to God for a child, girl or boy, just a child. Are girls of lesser value? Maybe it is just me, but still, I would be happy to get a child not matter what gender if I was childless.
Pastor JD does have a daughter.
All children are gifts from God. Maybe J.D asked for a son because the adoption of the little girl failed. Not judging or anything, just wondering why he prayed "God give me a SON. A SON!".Maybe it is just a cultural thing, a son would pass on the family name, a girl wouldn't. I don't judge anyone here. But if God had given him a daughter that time when he prayed for a son, would he still have been equally amazed? I hope so. Still, I'm happy that God works miracles, for J.D. and for many more people who pray! God bless.
Have you not seen the love and pride JD has for his daughter, for his sons also but when his daughter sings he can't speak for the emotion in his 💓. I know from experience of longing for a baby and praying for a son, then having 3 girls before I had a son, you are just so greatful to have a baby it doesn't matter boy or girl.
This was so *extremely helpful* to me. I had been taught that speaking in tongues was a gift for for another time, not eliminated entirely, but only for special occasions, for example to tell the gospel to someone who did not speak your language. If there was no interpretation, if there were no one in particular being spoken to, it was not the real gift of tongues it was just fake gibberish. and make no mistake, fake tongues is a thing. I have heard the fake gift. It is not good. But where there is a counterfeit, there is often a real. This message is so freeing. I have read Ephesians 6 and 1Corinthians 14 but somehow missed the point entirely.
1 Corinthians 14:28 "But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God."
I saw the *Keep silence in the church* but missed entirely "speak to himself, and to God"
and this verse: (Ephesians 6:18) "Praying always with all prayer and supplication *in the Spirit* and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;"
Sure I have read that and was taught that meant according to the revealed will of God. Praying according to the revealed will of God is a good thing, but that is not what is says is it? It says *in the Spirit*
When I pray, occasionally strange words would come out of my mouth. I would always stop. That can't be real "tongues" as there is no one here to speak to. Now I know it may be real. I only want it if it real. That is why hearing you preach (1 Corinthians 14:15) "What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and *I will pray with the understanding also* : I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also." hearing this makes my heart glad. I will allow myself to pray in those strange words, but I will also pray for understanding of the words.
here is a link to a different take on speaking in tongues. Skip forward to about 20 minutes. They disagree, but I suspect the truth is somewhere in between

Pastor J.D. Everyone is talking about Isaiah 17 judgement against Damascus , And Ezekiel 38 Gog Magog prophesy . Nobody ever talks about the Ezekiel 29 prophesy against Egypt... Egypt has been invaded and conquered by Babylon, the Greek , the Roman, The Ottoman, even Napoleon . One of his cannons blew the nose of the Sphinx off. Israel defeated Egypt in 1967 . But never has the people of Egypt been taken into captivity and Egypt left uninhabited no one even passing thru it for 40 years . This 40 years becomes problematic with end time eschatology.There are several camps "opinions" concerning this prophesy. 1) The scoffers use it as proof that the prophesy of God is not inerrant 2) some say the prophesy has not been fulfilled and that it pushes Daniels 70th week out at the very least another 1/2 Century into the future. And 3) the prophesy starts in the time of Jacobs trouble and is fulfilled in the Millennial Kingdom . Perhaps nuclear radiation will be the reason no one passes thru Egypt for 40 years. What is your opinion ?
how can I pray for you J.D.?
Di Garcia Pray in the Spirit, God knows what he needs.
+Suzanne Young thats true!
I have never spoken in tongues, unless you count i speak German? an unknown babbling is not tongues. when tongues is spoken it is a known language and should be used in presenting the gospel according to what i have learned. I may be mistaken but I haven't found where tongues is a prayer language? when the Holy Spirit prays for us it cannot be uttered(not Spoken) But one thing for sure Prayer should be an everyday must. GOD Bless JD .
Please go back and prayfully read Esphesians 6 and 1 Corinthians 14 again. Yes the spirit does pray for us without words (cannot be uttered) but Paul also talks of praying in tongues.
Just to add to what was said before:
The issue of tongues seems to be a balancing act. *Tongues are a gift* from God, but it is a gift that can be misused, abused, and counterfeited.
*PRO* 1 Corinthians 14:18 I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all:1 Corinthians 14:39 Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.
*CON* 1 Corinthians 14:19 Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue. 1 Corinthians 14:22-23 "Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe. {23} If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those that are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad?"
As for a prayer language, I think this verse implies it: 1 Corinthians 14:28 "But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God."
speaking to himself and to God, isn't that private prayer?
My husband 's (I am a woman) friend once prayed in German at a charismatic church and they thought he was speaking in tongues. 🤦♀️ I think there is too much focus on that particular gift. I have not been given it but I have asked the Holy Spirit to speak to God when I was so distraught that I couldn't even think a coherent thought of what to say.
I want to move to hawaii just to go to church with you

Jeremiah 20:7
You tricked me, LORD, and I was really fooled. You are stronger than I am, and you have defeated me. People never stop sneering and insulting me.
Job 12:1-6
1 Then Job replied:
2 “Doubtless you are the only people who matter,
and wisdom will die with you!
3 But I have a mind as well as you;
I am not inferior to you.
Who does not know all these things?
4 *“I* *have* *become* *a* *laughingstock* *to* *my* *friends,*
*though* *I* *called* *on* *God* *and* *he* *answered-*
*a* *mere* *laughingstock,* *though* *righteous* *and* *blameless!*
5 Those who are at ease have contempt for misfortune
as the fate of those whose feet are slipping.
6 The tents of marauders are undisturbed,
and those who provoke God are secure-
those God has in his hand.
I wish I could finish this video but there are so many interruptions, anyone else having a problem with this video pausing and not loading over and over? :(
When he talks of prayer language, is he talking about tongues?
Ya sis
How do I receive a prayer language?
Why don’t I have a prayer language?
I wish you would preach a sermon on when you do pray, and it seems like the Lord isn't hearing or answering your prayers. Does it mean I'm not praying correctly if my prayers aren't answered?
prayers are answered according to God's Will, God's Way, God's plans and purposes, in God's Divine Perfect Timing with His Perspectives for our Protection and Peace.....and Ultimately for the Glory of God!
there is a reason for unanswered/'delayed'
prayers.....
either a No
or a Wait patiently (ultimate test of faith)
Nevertheless keep talking to God because of a personal love relationship with Jesus Christ !
Enjoy this Everlasting Love Relationship with the Father!
Thanksgiving prayers are very important as they keep our hearts grateful for what the Lord has Done for us! (undeserving)
What happened to the peace plan that Trump was suppose to reveal to the UN today?
Notice in Daniel 12:1& 2 there are two resurrections the resurrection of life and the resurrection of contempt. The resurrection of contempt happens after the thousand year reign of Christ and the resurrection of life at the end of the tribulation as stated in Revelation 20 verses 1 - 4 this is the first resurrection. In chapter 7 of Revelation verse 9- 12 it talks about people who went through the great tribulation and are now in heaven. In 1 Corinthians 15:52 it says at the last trumpet that we go up and in Matthew 24: 29 - 31 after the tribulation of those days that Christ will send His angels to get us and also in Mar 13:24-27 as well the same. There is only one resurrection of life and one of contempt. All the other references referred to
in scripture have to be talking about the one resurrection of life after the tribulation. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 and second Thessalonians 2:1-12, Matthew 13:37-43.
Which means that the seven seals the seven trumpet the seven bowls and the seven angels are in order each year of the seven years of the seven year period. It all lines up. Check it out for yourself. Look at the Bowls of wrath and see who gets them. The first is for sores to form on those who get the mark or worship the beast and we don't know which sea will turn to blood but it makes sense that it would be near the anti Christ headquarters. and the 5 months of the locusts only attack those who don't have the seal of God on their foreheads.
Darkness and paid for the anti Christ and those who worship him or get his mark. then the sea dries up so the army can come and destroy the anti Christ but Jesus and His army comes and Jesus kills all who have the mark and worship the beast.
I feel like whenever I pray it never amounts to anything. I mean, for the most part, even just the little things aren't frequently answered. And the big things, well... pretty much never. I have full faith Abba can answer my prayers but He doesn't seem to want to. Of course I have faith he can answer a prayer, he created the universe didn't He? But why won't he say a single word to me or even answer just one prayer??? :( I'm going through great testing right now too. Although I know He's with me It feels like He's not in the slightest.
feeling and faith are on the opposite end!
feelings fluctuate and are unreliable!
Faith comes from within your heart where the Holy Spirit resides!
Keep Trusting the Lord Jesus Christ of the Bible !
Spend time reading and meditating on His Word and Truth day and night!
psalm 1 v 1~3
joshua 1 v 7~9
+Daniel Joshua With respect...
_"If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. _*_But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways._*
James 1:5-8
You MUST ask, believing it will be done. If you're praying in God's will, your prayer WILL be answered. You cannot doubt Him. Ever. He wants us to trust Him. He has given us the gift of faith, but we must exercise that gift when the rubber meets the road.
grace sue Amen, bless you xxx
ThingsAreToughAllOver Praise God, bless you
Sometimes God makes us wait. Sometimes He has something different for us and our prayers will change to reflect that. Is what you are praying for what God wants for You? I am not saying you are asking for anything bad. Maybe God has something better. (Better because He knows what you need better than you do).
Prayer language? The Lord hasn’t given me a spirit prayer language. No wonder most of my prayers go unanswered. I have asked to be filled with the Holy Spirit - I guess he doesn’t want me to have it.
He does want you to have the Holy Ghost and you know it! Like the sermon taught- NOTHING is in possible for YAHUWAH GOD!!!! Father will fill you up with his Holy Ghost but it isn't always instant. Abba moves differently for different people. Some are prophets, some are seers. But all are God's children and He wished to dwell in you. In HIS will and HIS way all will fall into place. All things work together for the good of those who love God. XXX shalom
Honestly Me, I don't have a prayer language, either, even though I have asked for it. Yet, I have had so many answered prayers I cannot possibly know how many there have been. I know the Holy Spirit fills me, and works in me and through me. We do not have to have an unknown prayer language for God to hear our prayers and to answer powerfully. The prayer language, speaking in tongues, etc., is something I do not deny, but neither do I believe every believer must have it in order to fully experience God's will and power.
You don't need one. God wants a sincere heart. Just admit to Him you are not sure what to say. Ask Him for the words. I never got a prayer language but I have been given Bible verses to pray
