Would you join me as we pray? Heavenly Father, we thank you so much. We thank you for that

blessed assurance, Lord, and that hope that you give us, Lord, and that we will be with you in heaven, Lord.

We're not going to wait, Lord. We shout for victory now, Lord, in Jesus' name. Thank you for this time of prayer.

Lord, thank you for the teaching, Lord. Thank you for speaking to Pastor J.D.

and using Him as your vessel. Lord, we'll receive what it is that you have for us, Lord.

And in our time of prayer, Lord, would you be with us? Holy Spirit, would you hear our prayer?

And we ask this in your name, Jesus we say, amen. Amen. Amen. How you guys doing tonight?

Bless, good answer, right answer. You can go ahead and take your seat so glad you're here tonight

for the prayer meeting. If you haven't already, you might want to get the prayer list, which is right up here.

And while you're doing that, I'll kind of give you the rundown.

We're going to start with a teaching that I want to share on prayer, about prayer, and then when I'm done, I'm going to have Pastor Leitu come up,

and then we're going to open it up for all church prayer.

And I'll just be praying alongside with you.

For those of you that pray out loud, some don't, that's fine. I'll just be praying alongside with you.

For those of you that pray out loud, some don't, that's fine.

In fact, we're going to see that here at a moment, but we're going to try to remember to turn off the ACs so we can hear you and be in agreement with you when you do pray.

We'll try to, by the grace of God, I'm asking the Lord to leave us enough time, which we've

had to just petition the throne as a church together in all church prayer.

So I wanted to start off though first and talk with you about how it is and

even why it is that oftentimes God delays, but then miraculously answers my prayers.

As one aptly said it, God's delays are not always God's denials.

And God is never late, nor is God ever early.
