I don't know about you, but the rest that just came from that moment was needed.

And I think it feels so good just to take a breath, get in the presence of God and be reminded that he's already prepared that table for you.

I wonder how you would react if I went around individually through the hundreds of people

that are in this room or even if I could come through the screen and look at you all individually.

I wonder how everyone would react if I told you, hey, I took time this week to contend for you

before God and called out to God by your name and asked God that

he would move in your family. And you know, many of you are looking at me like, you don't even

know who I am. Just go with me on this. If I told you, I mean, and I don't mean like a half-hearted

prayer like, God, please speak to them. I mean like went name by name through your family, called down for God to do something in your life and to speak to them. I mean like went name by name through your family, called down for God to do something

in your life and to speak to you and to do something specific. If you heard that from me right now,

how would you react to a moment like this? How would that make you? It's like, oh, wow, there's

things happening in my life spiritually that I don't even see aside from anything that I even participate in.

Now, here's what's crazy. Here's what you need to hear. I know biblically that that is 1,000% true,

but not about me praying for you, about Jesus praying for you. Like that is the case this week.

Do you know you have an advocate at the right hand of God who implores?

He goes before the Lord on your behalf.

And do you know Jesus is not the only one praying for you?

The spirit of God is groaning, deeper than any words can say.

So if you showed up today and you're like, I did nothing to take a step forward in my faith

this week.

Good news and a great place to start from.

Jesus and the Holy Spirit have gone before the Father on your behalf and have set a table
