[960.32 --> 962.80] It means everything that we go through |
[962.80 --> 964.08] in our journeys of faith, |
[964.82 --> 966.30] it's founded in prayer |
[966.30 --> 967.36] because the Holy Spirit |
[967.36 --> 969.02] wants to hear from us, |
[969.38 --> 970.90] wants to hear our prayers. |
[971.72 --> 972.98] That's why we pray. |
[972.98 --> 975.96] And as one pastor put it, |
[976.22 --> 977.00] prayer is good |
[977.00 --> 978.44] because it's a practice |
[978.44 --> 979.80] of letting go |
[979.80 --> 981.20] and seeking help. |
[982.14 --> 982.94] And in a way, |
[983.34 --> 984.36] the act of prayer |
[984.36 --> 986.42] forces us to humble ourselves |
[986.42 --> 987.52] before God |
[987.52 --> 988.52] and before others |
[988.52 --> 989.68] to acknowledge |
[989.68 --> 991.62] that we don't have it all figured out |
[991.62 --> 992.86] and that we need help. |
[993.30 --> 994.10] All of us do. |
[997.54 --> 999.28] Now, I shared this in the 9 a.m. |
[999.98 --> 1000.78] and I said |
[1000.78 --> 1002.30] that I didn't get permission |
[1002.30 --> 1002.80] from my wife |
[1002.80 --> 1003.64] to share this story |
[1003.64 --> 1005.24] and I was going to try |
[1005.24 --> 1006.32] to get permission from her |
[1006.32 --> 1007.40] in between the service |
[1007.40 --> 1008.10] but I couldn't |
[1008.10 --> 1009.18] so I'll have to ask |
[1009.18 --> 1010.14] for apology twice |
[1010.14 --> 1010.82] as I'm going to share |
[1010.82 --> 1011.58] this story anyways. |
[1013.40 --> 1013.80] So, |
[1014.04 --> 1015.68] whenever Moon and I fight, |
[1017.26 --> 1018.38] as all couples do, |
[1018.58 --> 1018.94] Moon's like, |
[1019.00 --> 1019.98] hey, we don't fight that often. |
[1020.26 --> 1021.26] Yes, okay, fine. |
[1021.44 --> 1022.82] But when we do fight, |
[1023.76 --> 1025.02] there is this tendency, |
[1025.22 --> 1026.22] there is this like battle |
[1026.22 --> 1027.24] going on in my heart |
[1027.24 --> 1028.40] in the sense that |
[1028.40 --> 1029.38] I don't want to pray. |
[1029.38 --> 1031.10] So, |
[1031.10 --> 1032.96] when I'm in a tense moment |
[1032.96 --> 1034.28] or I'm in conflict with, |
[1034.48 --> 1035.20] especially with Moon, |
[1035.42 --> 1036.58] or with anybody actually, |
[1037.08 --> 1038.48] there is this tendency |
[1038.48 --> 1040.00] to not want to pray. |
[1040.68 --> 1040.98] Why? |
[1042.12 --> 1043.18] Because I know, |
[1043.48 --> 1044.60] I know for certain |
[1044.60 --> 1045.26] if I pray, |
[1045.76 --> 1047.42] I'm going to be humbled |
[1047.42 --> 1048.56] before God |
[1048.56 --> 1049.66] and before this person. |
[1050.60 --> 1051.58] It brings us |
[1051.58 --> 1052.74] to a place of humility. |
[1053.04 --> 1054.08] Doesn't that sound awesome? |
[1054.08 --> 1056.06] But why is that |
[1056.06 --> 1056.88] so hard to do? |
[1058.38 --> 1059.56] It's so hard |
[1059.56 --> 1060.66] to humble ourselves. |
[1061.72 --> 1062.96] But prayer is a practice |
[1062.96 --> 1064.14] that forces us |
[1064.14 --> 1064.98] to do so. |
[1067.28 --> 1067.88] So, |
[1067.98 --> 1068.86] whatever it looks like, |
[1069.22 --> 1070.36] however prayer sounds |
[1070.36 --> 1070.84] for you, |
[1071.44 --> 1072.32] the Holy Spirit |
[1072.32 --> 1073.66] wants to hear our prayers, |
[1073.86 --> 1075.24] to walk with us |
[1075.24 --> 1075.92] in our journeys |
[1075.92 --> 1076.56] through prayer. |
[1077.98 --> 1079.24] This is opposite |
[1079.24 --> 1080.20] and contrary |
[1080.20 --> 1080.96] to the world, |
[1081.16 --> 1081.56] again, |
[1081.64 --> 1082.24] that tells you, |
[1082.42 --> 1083.24] you have to figure |
[1083.24 --> 1083.98] everything out. |
[1084.44 --> 1085.72] It's your own wisdom |
[1085.72 --> 1086.44] and strength |
[1086.44 --> 1087.86] to solve all world's |
[1087.86 --> 1088.68] problems for you. |
[1089.94 --> 1090.34] But then, |
[1090.44 --> 1092.66] to be a contrast community |
[1092.66 --> 1094.40] is to be a community |
[1094.40 --> 1095.06] of prayer. |
[1095.56 --> 1096.20] That's the one |
[1096.20 --> 1097.00] spiritual practice |
[1097.00 --> 1098.52] that Jude highlights. |
[1099.06 --> 1100.44] This doesn't excuse us |
[1100.44 --> 1101.44] to not practice |
[1101.44 --> 1103.00] any other spiritual practices. |
