[1521.40 --> 1522.00] in prayer, |
[1522.86 --> 1523.72] it's very hard |
[1523.72 --> 1524.32] to hate them |
[1524.32 --> 1526.54] because they are, |
[1526.72 --> 1527.46] whether you like it |
[1527.46 --> 1527.94] or not, |
[1528.26 --> 1529.08] an image bearer |
[1529.08 --> 1529.58] of God |
[1529.58 --> 1530.90] just like you. |
[1531.90 --> 1533.06] They are created |
[1533.06 --> 1533.70] by God |
[1533.70 --> 1534.34] in His image |
[1534.34 --> 1535.54] just like you. |
[1535.54 --> 1538.74] and they are loved |
[1538.74 --> 1539.56] by God |
[1539.56 --> 1541.18] just like you. |
[1542.54 --> 1543.80] They are no worse |
[1543.80 --> 1544.52] than you |
[1544.52 --> 1545.68] ultimately |
[1545.68 --> 1546.80] in the sight of God |
[1546.80 --> 1548.54] and you are no better |
[1548.54 --> 1549.10] than them |
[1549.10 --> 1550.92] and praying for someone |
[1550.92 --> 1552.86] forces you |
[1552.86 --> 1554.30] or I shouldn't say force, |
[1554.46 --> 1555.74] the Spirit enables you |
[1555.74 --> 1557.20] to not hate |
[1557.20 --> 1558.30] your brother |
[1558.30 --> 1558.96] or sister. |
[1560.08 --> 1561.38] It's a powerful thing |
[1561.38 --> 1562.74] and I can't explain |
[1562.74 --> 1563.48] how it works |
[1563.48 --> 1565.14] but in situations |
[1565.14 --> 1565.68] of conflict, |
[1565.82 --> 1566.44] prayer has kept me |
[1566.44 --> 1566.98] from pride, |
[1567.08 --> 1567.70] thinking I'm more |
[1567.70 --> 1568.36] than I am |
[1568.36 --> 1569.66] and it's kept me |
[1569.66 --> 1570.02] from hate, |
[1570.12 --> 1570.76] thinking someone else |
[1570.76 --> 1572.40] is less than they are |
[1572.40 --> 1573.80] and if you're stuck |
[1573.80 --> 1574.52] in that situation, |
[1574.68 --> 1575.38] I invite you |
[1575.38 --> 1576.64] to pray |
[1576.64 --> 1578.54] and when I say prayer, |
[1578.62 --> 1579.56] I should note also |
[1579.56 --> 1581.04] that it's not just |
[1581.04 --> 1581.56] something you need |
[1581.56 --> 1582.24] to do on your own |
[1582.24 --> 1583.36] in situations of conflict |
[1583.36 --> 1585.04] and all sorts of division, |
[1585.50 --> 1586.28] it's something you invite |
[1586.28 --> 1587.32] others to do for you. |
[1587.44 --> 1587.64] In fact, |
[1587.68 --> 1588.68] I know of two situations |
[1588.68 --> 1590.34] where the people |
[1590.34 --> 1590.90] in conflict, |
[1591.06 --> 1591.96] they're not interested |
[1591.96 --> 1592.48] in forgiveness |
[1592.48 --> 1593.38] and they're certainly |
[1593.38 --> 1593.92] not interested |
[1593.92 --> 1594.76] in reconciliation |
[1594.76 --> 1596.56] but their families are |
[1596.56 --> 1597.86] and the church was |
[1597.86 --> 1598.76] and so people started |
[1598.76 --> 1599.52] praying for them |
[1599.52 --> 1600.08] and interceding |
[1600.08 --> 1600.60] on their behalf |
[1600.60 --> 1601.58] and things started |
[1601.58 --> 1602.68] to happen in spite |
[1602.68 --> 1603.38] of those people |
[1603.38 --> 1603.94] in conflict |
[1603.94 --> 1604.90] and I just remember |
[1604.90 --> 1605.66] hearing one story |
[1605.66 --> 1606.44] thinking wow, |
[1607.04 --> 1607.84] God's Spirit |
[1607.84 --> 1608.64] is really at work |
[1608.64 --> 1609.68] in spite of the people |
[1609.68 --> 1610.18] in conflict |
[1610.18 --> 1610.96] and the community |
[1610.96 --> 1611.84] is surrounding |
[1611.84 --> 1612.70] and upholding them |
[1612.70 --> 1613.06] in prayer |
[1613.06 --> 1614.22] and things start to move. |
[1614.32 --> 1615.44] Do not underestimate |
[1615.44 --> 1617.16] what happens |
[1617.16 --> 1618.84] when we bring conflict |
[1618.84 --> 1620.20] before our Heavenly Father, |
[1620.68 --> 1621.56] before our Son |
[1621.56 --> 1623.12] who is the great reconciler |
[1623.12 --> 1623.96] and the Spirit |
[1623.96 --> 1624.96] who gives us the power |
[1624.96 --> 1625.96] to lean into some |
[1625.96 --> 1626.90] of the hardest places |
[1626.90 --> 1627.54] with grace. |
[1630.20 --> 1630.60] Secondly, |
[1631.20 --> 1633.32] we need our community |
[1633.32 --> 1633.86] of faith. |
