0:00.0	Pray the word with David Platt is a resource from Radical.net.
0:04.2	Isaiah chapter 59 verse 1, behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save.
0:13.5	Don't you love that verse? The Lord's hand is not short, not so short, that it cannot save.
0:20.5	I think about my own life. I encourage you to think about your life. God has clearly shown
0:26.9	that his hand is not too short to save. Despite our sin, despite where any one of us,
0:34.0	every one of us should be. Here we are, like praying to God, hearing his words,
0:40.2	celebrating his salvation in our lives. There's no way we would be saved. I would be saved from my

1:49.7	North Korean people or Yemeni Arabs or Belowchen, Pakistan or the people groups of Afghanistan that
1:58.0	we prayed for all throughout May on this podcast. So let's pray, God, we give you glory for your
2:06.0	long hand, your powerful hand that brought about our salvation. We were rebelling against you,
2:13.3	running from you and we shudder to think where we would be right now. We're it not for your long,
2:19.2	powerful, overpowering hand of salvation in our lives. Thank you for saving us, saving me from
2:27.3	my sin, our sin. And God, we want to pray in faith right now based on Isaiah 59 verse 1 for all kinds
