As I'm recording this message, I feel specifically led to pray for those who might be listening.

2
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:11,860
Father in heaven, I just ask special blessings upon anybody that might be listening to this message, whether they received it directly,

3
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:14,160
answered the phone and are listening,

4
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:20,720
whether they received it as a voicemail or an answer machine message, or whether they're listening to it on Life for Toledo podcast, or

5
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:24,360
on YouTube, wherever it might be. Lord,

6
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:28,600
we pray that you will intervene very specifically in our lives and work your will.

7
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:32,360
We pray your kingdom come, your will be done here on earth as it is in heaven.

8
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:38,560
We are grateful to know that you love us and care about our individual plight. Would you miraculously intervene?

9
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:40,560
Some of us need healing, some of us need strength,

10
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:48,880
some of us need discernment, some of us need wisdom, all of us need hope. Lord, we submit it to you in Jesus name. Amen.

11
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:55,520
Thinking today of Ephesians 1-9, and I know that God is on our side and has great plans, great desires of good for us,

12
00:00:55,520 --> 00:01:01,360
and it says in Ephesians 1-9, He made known to us the mystery of His will according to His kind intention,

13
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:03,560
which He purposed in Him.

14
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:10,440
This is that God saves us all if we are willing to follow Him, repent of your sins, and have Jesus as your Lord and Savior.

15
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:14,440
Your Lord is a person who tells you what to do, and you do it, and your Savior is a person who

16
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:19,460
paid the price for your sins. And our previous disqualified nature has been done away with us,

17
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:24,520
done away with, and we can be united in His Church with Jesus at the head.

18
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:30,520
You can serve God through Jesus Christ His Son. You can be saved through Jesus Christ His Son.

19
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:39,520
And having been saved, we now know His kind intention for us, and He's no problem with us lifting up our desires and our needs to Him,

20
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:54,520
as we have just done. Praise you, Father, for loving us and reminding us of your kind intention for us.
