[4751.68 --> 4752.78] to make your life |
[4752.78 --> 4753.86] a living sacrifice. |
[4754.90 --> 4755.86] And you are called |
[4755.86 --> 4756.68] to intercede |
[4756.68 --> 4757.96] for those around you. |
[4759.46 --> 4760.78] There are so many things, |
[4761.62 --> 4762.76] so many problems, |
[4763.20 --> 4764.34] so much brokenness |
[4764.34 --> 4765.44] that you cannot solve. |
[4766.12 --> 4767.74] But you can always pray. |
[4768.88 --> 4770.16] In my role as a pastor, |
[4770.54 --> 4771.98] I often feel overwhelmed |
[4771.98 --> 4773.36] by the needs around me. |
[4773.80 --> 4774.96] I feel incapable |
[4774.96 --> 4775.56] of solving |
[4775.56 --> 4777.10] even a small fraction |
[4777.10 --> 4778.36] of the challenges |
[4778.36 --> 4779.20] that come my way. |
[4779.44 --> 4780.42] And when that happens, |
[4780.72 --> 4781.98] I am increasingly saying, |
[4782.08 --> 4782.52] all right, Lord, |
[4782.80 --> 4784.18] this is what I can't do. |
[4784.26 --> 4785.30] I'm just Dave Groon, |
[4785.30 --> 4786.34] but I can pray |
[4786.34 --> 4787.02] for that couple. |
[4787.82 --> 4789.18] I can pray for that marriage. |
[4789.32 --> 4790.10] I can pray for that |
[4790.10 --> 4790.80] broken relationship. |
[4790.92 --> 4792.00] I can pray for the student |
[4792.00 --> 4793.30] who just got let go |
[4793.30 --> 4794.04] of this position. |
[4794.30 --> 4795.04] I can pray. |
[4795.54 --> 4796.52] I can intercede. |
[4798.12 --> 4799.26] And here's my hunch. |
[4801.22 --> 4803.04] God generally places |
[4803.04 --> 4804.02] on your heart |
[4804.02 --> 4805.52] the people |
[4805.52 --> 4806.66] and the issues |
[4806.66 --> 4807.72] and the places |
[4807.72 --> 4809.42] that you should intercede for. |
[4810.08 --> 4811.00] I'm always amazed |
[4811.00 --> 4811.86] when I talk to students |
[4811.86 --> 4812.42] and when I talk |
[4812.42 --> 4813.02] to young adults, |
[4813.38 --> 4814.02] when I ask them, |
[4814.12 --> 4814.16] like, |
[4814.16 --> 4814.72] what are the burdens |
[4814.72 --> 4815.20] of your life |
[4815.20 --> 4816.16] or who's on your heart? |
[4816.24 --> 4816.36] Like, |
[4816.40 --> 4817.30] God's already placing |
[4817.30 --> 4818.02] on your heart |
[4818.02 --> 4819.46] and has already |
[4819.46 --> 4820.70] in your relationship circle |
[4820.70 --> 4822.22] the people that he's inviting |
[4822.22 --> 4823.40] you to intercede for, |
[4823.92 --> 4825.16] to be the priest for. |
[4825.54 --> 4826.38] All you need to do |
[4826.38 --> 4827.22] is take those names |
[4827.22 --> 4828.10] and take those thoughts |
[4828.10 --> 4829.54] and bring that into prayer |
[4829.54 --> 4830.80] and allow God |
[4830.80 --> 4832.32] to do what only God can do |
[4832.32 --> 4833.22] in these broken, |
[4833.48 --> 4834.50] difficult relationships |
[4834.50 --> 4835.50] and situations. |
[4836.16 --> 4837.12] You were called |
[4837.12 --> 4837.92] into the ministry |
[4837.92 --> 4838.92] of the priesthood. |
[4838.92 --> 4841.40] And then thirdly, |
[4842.88 --> 4843.28] you're called |
[4843.28 --> 4843.98] to be kings |
[4843.98 --> 4845.32] and queens. |
[4845.70 --> 4846.36] Does that sound weird? |
[4847.24 --> 4848.42] Jesus invites you |
[4848.42 --> 4849.16] to share |
[4849.16 --> 4850.74] in his kingly ministry. |
[4850.88 --> 4851.44] And you're probably thinking, |
[4851.60 --> 4851.66] like, |
[4851.74 --> 4853.18] what in the world |
[4853.18 --> 4854.26] does that mean? |
[4855.42 --> 4855.68] You know, |
[4855.74 --> 4856.62] Jesus always, |
[4856.72 --> 4857.06] I should say, |
[4857.10 --> 4857.66] God always, |
[4857.72 --> 4858.52] from the very beginning, |
[4858.62 --> 4859.44] creating Adam and Eve, |
[4859.66 --> 4861.56] he wanted his humans |
[4861.56 --> 4863.36] to rule over this world well. |
[4864.00 --> 4865.02] And things went sideways |
[4865.02 --> 4866.24] when sin came into the world |
[4866.24 --> 4867.16] and we started getting greedy |
[4867.16 --> 4867.84] and selfish |
[4867.84 --> 4868.90] and we started ruling |
[4868.90 --> 4869.60] very terribly. |
[4869.94 --> 4870.78] And the work of Jesus, |
[4871.32 --> 4872.64] the sacrifice on the cross, |
[4872.96 --> 4874.02] enables us to rule |
[4874.02 --> 4874.92] over this world |
[4874.92 --> 4876.78] under Jesus' authority |
