Would you join me as we pray Lord? Oh Lord, before we even ask Lord of anything from you, Lord, I pray that we would believe to our core, Lord. And it is the reason why we are asking that you can do all things.

Lord, that you are the God above all gods.

There is no other God.

So we thank you for this time that we come together in prayer

and lift up those who are much needed.

And so Lord, bless this time together together would you speak to us Lord we thank you in Jesus name pray amen amen oh you guys welcome So the gate was shut.

Some of you show up and the gate was shut and you're like,

what's going on? So sorry. I'll find somebody to blame and I'll beat them mercilessly.

So I don't know how many people turn around a left, but anyway,

Pastor Mac reprogrammed it.

It's supposed to open and stay open.

And so, boy, that's terrible, isn't it,

when the entrance to the church is, yeah,

come to church, we can't.

All right, well, let me give you a kind of a quick rundown

of what we're going to do tonight. I'm going to

begin with a brief message. Then I'm going to pray specifically and then I'm going to take a seat and then Pastor Max going to come up

he's going to open up the prayer meeting he'll pray and then he'll also end up

closing the prayer meeting and I'll just be up front but I wanted to

share with you tonight again and I'll be brief but it's a message concerning those times in our lives when God delays answering

our prayers. And I think I mentioned this on Sunday's second service

that the inspiration for this message was from our second service text
