1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,280 Well, hey everyone, you're listening to the Curt Landry podcast where we're going to help 2 00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:12,160 you discover your kingdom destiny. 3 00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:16,760 My name is Darrell and sitting right beside me is Rabbi Curt Landry himself. 4 00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:21,360 And in this episode, we're going to be discussing the topic of prayer. 5 00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:25,300 We'll also provide techniques to help enhance your prayer time. 6 00:00:25,300 --> 00:00:30,800 But before we jump into this episode, Rabbi, have you been playing in the snow? 7 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,360 Oklahoma has been super, super cold. 8 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,680 Well, listen, it's going great. 9 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,200 I'm really excited about this podcast. 10 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:46,400 I got to tell you, I'm hoping and I'm praying that it blesses the people, blesses you. 11 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:55,640 But what it's doing to me, it's actually opening up almost like a portal of refreshing 12 00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:57,600 in my heart. 13 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:03,960 Because what's happening is, is I'm going back in past testimonies when you ask questions. 14 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:09,880 And so the faithfulness of God, it's like I get to testify to my own self that the Lord 15 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:11,480 has been very faithful. 16 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:16,240 We're facing some really challenging times that are ahead of us. 17 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:21,560 And so what it's doing for me personally is it's building my faith, my own faith walk 18 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,520 and by sharing. 19 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:27,200 You know, Revelation says that they overcame him, Satan, by the blood of the Lamb and the 20 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:28,680 word of their testimony. 21 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,960 So I'm hoping and we'll see. 22 00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:36,700 In fact, if you want to respond and let us know if you have any questions, but I'd love 23 00:01:36,700 --> 00:01:40,240 to dive into any of your questions. 24 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,000 But let us know how it's affecting you. 25 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:48,920 For me, it's creating a very positive faith environment and atmosphere in my soul. 26 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:49,920 I love this. 27 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:51,680 Podcast at curtlandry.com. 28 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:53,440 That's where you can submit your questions. 29 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:59,000 Of course, we always ask you to put into the title and write something to the subject line 30 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:04,720 so we know what it's about and what's your thoughts and concerns, questions, anything 31 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:08,600 that you want Rabbi Kurt to discuss on this show. 32 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:16,680 So Rabbi, it's been a little bit since we've launched the podcast on the official day. 33 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,000 How do you feel like the success of it? 34 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,760 Or you know, I mean, like, are you pleased with it up to this point? 35 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:22,760 Oh, yeah. 36 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:24,860 In fact, I'm more than happy with it. 37 00:02:24,860 --> 00:02:30,380 You know, a lot of times, you know, I like to cook and I like to, you know, a big part 38 00:02:30,380 --> 00:02:34,480 of meals is presentation. 39 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:38,920 So when you prepare a meal and a table, it's not just like for one of the things I love 40 00:02:38,920 --> 00:02:42,600 to do in the holidays is I'll do a whole turkey. 41 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,920 And it's great to have the turkey and it's and the way I do it, it's, you know, injected 42 00:02:46,920 --> 00:02:49,540 with Irish butter and really good. 43 00:02:49,540 --> 00:02:52,760 But the key is, is how does it set up on the plate? 44 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:58,600 So you know, you have the you have the stuffing, you have some vegetables, you know, you have 45 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:03,640 cranberry sauce, you have you have the gravy and all those different things. 46 00:03:03,640 --> 00:03:10,180 So depending on how you present it is versus just cutting off a piece of turkey, putting 47 00:03:10,180 --> 00:03:14,160 on a paper plate and say here, it's the same meat you're eating. 48 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:21,360 But when the when the meat is surrounded by all these other, you know, say condiments 49 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:26,480 and things, then what happens is it actually enhances the flavor of the meat itself. 50 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:34,800 So I look at this podcast as really, you know, I do live streaming, I, you know, we publish 51 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,960 books, we do blogs, we do a lot of different things. 52 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,740 But I feel like this podcast is kind of the gravy. 53 00:03:40,740 --> 00:03:47,040 What it does is it just adds to what is already good, but it takes everything into a more 54 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:48,560 personal level. 55 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:54,720 And it allows people listen, I'm really big on this is because I always say, show me your 56 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,440 friends, and I'll show you your future. 57 00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,820 But I can also say to this, show me who you're following. 58 00:04:00,820 --> 00:04:02,960 And I'll show you your future. 59 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:07,560 Just like I like to say, you know, show me what you're reading, and I can tell how fast 60 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,080 you're getting to the future. 61 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:14,120 So you've got to have good networking, you have to have you have to have really good 62 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:18,760 input coming into your life in order to have a higher quality of life. 63 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:27,120 So I think this podcast is the gravy of CLM's media plate of food that we serve to the world. 64 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:33,120 So this podcast, I guess we backtrack and kind of walk people into if they're not aware 65 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:38,920 and you know, they're listening to the Curt Landry podcast, and they want more right like 66 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,400 a more shows to listen to something else. 67 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,800 Well, the one new man network. 68 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:49,160 So the Curt Landry podcast, you're listening, you can see it. 69 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,440 This podcast is on the charisma podcast network. 70 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:58,560 But Rabbi something was really cool in the same breath of transitioning into 2024. 71 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,200 We actually launched the one new man network with our first podcast. 72 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:06,160 And that's got Megan Marcelino with generations at the table. 73 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,240 What do you think? 74 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:12,800 You know, just from maybe not an excitement level, but from like expectations wise, I 75 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,720 mean, like 24 was coming in, we had like a lot of moving different parts. 76 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:22,160 But you know, like where you at with maybe, I guess the one new man network. 77 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:26,520 And then it's funny because Megan's actually got the first show that launched on it. 78 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:31,080 It wasn't actually your show. 79 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:35,640 For me personally, yeah, to have our daughter. 80 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,880 I'm all about legacy. 81 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,720 I am in the passing the baton stage of my life. 82 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,040 It's my biggest joy. 83 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,160 So no, I'm overwhelmingly happy with it. 84 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:53,800 You know, today in the studio, she was in on her podcast, she was interviewing her mother. 85 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:58,920 And so one of the things that people need to understand, and she was interviewing her, 86 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:04,840 I believe I wasn't here, but I think she was talking to her about prayer now. 87 00:06:04,840 --> 00:06:06,680 And she was giving her testimony. 88 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,880 So you know, Christie was saved two and a half years before I got saved. 89 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:12,720 And the Lord told her, don't preach to him. 90 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:17,680 And praise God she didn't because listen, before I got saved, I was so anti Christian. 91 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:23,200 I mean, I was like Saul, I stoned him, I couldn't stand him. 92 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,480 I mean, it was terrible. 93 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:26,640 But praise God, Jesus came in. 94 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:31,080 That's probably why Jesus came literally into the bathtub because, you know, I was definitely 95 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,240 a Christian hater, not just dislike her. 96 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,800 I mean, I used to do imitations and made fun of him. 97 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,640 I used to imitate Jan Crouch on TVN. 98 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:43,920 No, I'm serious. 99 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:45,200 I did all this stuff like this. 100 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:46,760 Now, here's the other side of the story. 101 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:47,880 I don't want to drift too much. 102 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:53,360 But the first time I went on TVN, the first thing I had to do is go to the Crouches and 103 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,640 repent and I asked him for forgiveness. 104 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:59,360 I said, listen, I made fun of you, your hair and your big furniture. 105 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,520 And you've done so much good. 106 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,360 And listen, I was crying and they forgave me. 107 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:04,360 They laughed. 108 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:05,360 They loved me. 109 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,000 It's not, it's, listen, but that's where I was at. 110 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:12,000 But the thing is, so Megan interviews her mom, right? 111 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,040 And to say, well, how do you pray for somebody like that? 112 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:20,200 I mean, I was so arrogant and worldly and I mean, it was terrible. 113 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:25,420 Listen, I can tell you that in my family, I was the least likely to get saved. 114 00:07:25,420 --> 00:07:31,760 So she interviews Christy and Christy talks about how she prayed, didn't preach, but prayed 115 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:33,260 me into the kingdom. 116 00:07:33,260 --> 00:07:35,040 That podcast is priceless. 117 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,120 I can, I didn't hear it, but I do know the story. 118 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:42,880 And so as far as I'm concerned, listen, and I have, I even said this in Israel to the 119 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:43,880 soldiers. 120 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:45,880 I shared this testimony about her. 121 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:50,280 I said, you realize we wouldn't be standing here bringing you all this humanitarian aid 122 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:55,600 and support all these years if it wasn't for this Nana right here, because she's the one 123 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,000 that prayed me into the kingdom. 124 00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,440 And I mean, you could have heard a pin drop. 125 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,900 The soldiers are like, oh my gosh. 126 00:08:01,900 --> 00:08:05,360 And then when we got done speaking to them and stuff, they all came up and we're hugging 127 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,520 her and she was hugging them. 128 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,160 And so yeah, it's, it's the podcast. 129 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:11,160 That's a plot. 130 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:12,160 You can't preach that. 131 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:13,840 You can't get on a platform on a Friday night and do that. 132 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:14,840 You need this. 133 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:16,640 And so I'm, I'm thrilled. 134 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:25,200 And the other thing is, of course, listen, what Megan carries in the call, she carries, 135 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:29,020 she carries a lot of what we carry. 136 00:08:29,020 --> 00:08:31,740 She was raised in this. 137 00:08:31,740 --> 00:08:39,200 When we did Aliyah, the first return in the early nineties, when we were doing the airplanes, 138 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,000 the 747s. 139 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:48,080 And so all the apostolic leadership from Europe, from Germany, from Sweden, from Israel, all 140 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:54,000 those people, when that was those prayer meetings, those, those were in our house in Issaquah. 141 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,320 Those meetings took place in our home. 142 00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,400 And so I can still see it. 143 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,440 Here's all these apostolic leaders. 144 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:07,700 We're talking about fulfilling Isaiah 60 and there's Megan and she's laying down. 145 00:09:07,700 --> 00:09:10,840 She's in the family room where we had the meetings, all the chairs set up. 146 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:15,920 And she's over there, you know, five years old with a coloring book, coloring why we're 147 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:21,180 sitting there discussing spiritual strategies, proclaiming and praying and doing all the 148 00:09:21,180 --> 00:09:22,180 stuff we do. 149 00:09:22,180 --> 00:09:25,960 And here's this five year old because listen, we only had one child. 150 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,840 We didn't have, we couldn't let people really know the meetings going on. 151 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:30,400 So I can't have a babysitter in the house. 152 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:31,400 I can't hear it. 153 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,400 So she, she was just raised in it. 154 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:38,800 And the thing that, that, you know, she talks about is that she learned so much just being 155 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:40,960 a fly on the wall. 156 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:42,440 And it's great. 157 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:48,360 And so when we do stuff now, like with our grandkids, I include them. 158 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:53,000 It's one of the things, it's one of the, I love, I love people bringing their children, 159 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:58,100 even if they cry or are noisy into House of David service. 160 00:09:58,100 --> 00:09:59,400 First of all, it does not affect me. 161 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:00,800 It doesn't like, Oh, they're crying. 162 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:02,560 Oh, they scream on it. 163 00:10:02,560 --> 00:10:08,560 Listen, I'm glad to have them in the house because I understand the power of the impartation. 164 00:10:08,560 --> 00:10:11,880 The other thing is people think like children, Oh, they're just little children. 165 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:13,400 They don't understand. 166 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:14,660 Let me tell you something. 167 00:10:14,660 --> 00:10:16,160 They understand. 168 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:23,440 Listen, when, when Joseph and, and Bella, but when Joseph was like two, two, three years 169 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:29,060 old, he would, he would quote me from what I said in a service phrases. 170 00:10:29,060 --> 00:10:30,680 So they're listening. 171 00:10:30,680 --> 00:10:34,880 And, and the thing is, even if they're not listening at Matthew's age, he's only a year 172 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:39,840 and a half, I want them in the service because what's happening is the word is seed is going 173 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:40,840 in their heart. 174 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:42,740 So I, I'm, I'm big on that. 175 00:10:42,740 --> 00:10:47,100 And that's a long way to answer your question, but no, I'm thrilled that Megan's podcast 176 00:10:47,100 --> 00:10:48,100 is

--> 00:11:07,360 Just wherever you listen to podcasts, you can find that one. 182 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:13,760 So rabbi really good story about Ms. Christie and kind of praying you into it for what the 183 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,560 topic of this podcast is about. 184 00:11:16,560 --> 00:11:18,900 And it's just pretty simple. 185 00:11:18,900 --> 00:11:21,100 It's a base level. 186 00:11:21,100 --> 00:11:25,560 One thing I love that we do on the show, it's like one or two, maybe three things that people 187 00:11:25,560 --> 00:11:31,880 can go activate and physically do to kind of start these different attributes or things 188 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:32,880 that they want to accomplish. 189 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:38,160 You know, we've been talking a lot about goals to grow like tons of it. 190 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,720 And this is a big one for everyone. 191 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:45,180 And I think everybody's always looking for different techniques and something just to 192 00:11:45,180 --> 00:11:47,080 kind of keep it consistent. 193 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:52,560 But very simply put in the question, how do we pray? 194 00:11:52,560 --> 00:11:53,560 Or how to pray? 195 00:11:53,560 --> 00:11:59,420 I mean, like, what's the most efficient way that people listening can start or get better 196 00:11:59,420 --> 00:12:00,420 at it? 197 00:12:00,420 --> 00:12:01,420 Okay. 198 00:12:01,420 --> 00:12:08,120 First of all, many of you that follow us, or you've heard the term from me or Robert 199 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,840 Henderson or different ones called the courts of heaven. 200 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:17,840 And believe me, when we first started using that terminology, I mean, it flipped people 201 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:19,520 like, oh, the courts of heaven. 202 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:21,840 And how do we do the courts of heaven? 203 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,400 You know, it's like, oh, I'm not praying right. 204 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:28,200 I've been praying for 35 years and now I find out I actually didn't pray at all. 205 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:29,200 I wasted like 35 years. 206 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:30,200 What's happening? 207 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:31,200 Yeah. 208 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:32,760 And I'm going, no, you were in the courts of heaven. 209 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:38,140 It's just like a term to help you logistically in the spirit see something different. 210 00:12:38,140 --> 00:12:40,800 So listen, the disciples had the same thing. 211 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:46,280 If you go on Matthew chapter six, verse nine, they asked Jesus, they said, listen, how do 212 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:47,480 we pray? 213 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:51,720 So I'm just going to, I'm going to go real quickly just down the list here. 214 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:52,720 Okay. 215 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:53,720 All right. 216 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:54,720 Is that right? 217 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:55,720 Our father in heaven. 218 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:59,560 So your heaven, your father is in the courts of heaven. 219 00:12:59,560 --> 00:13:00,560 Okay. 220 00:13:00,560 --> 00:13:05,820 So, so, so if you're, if you're saying this prayer, listen, I was raised Catholic and, 221 00:13:05,820 --> 00:13:10,840 and I prayed this prayer a lot because when you go into the confessional, you know, uh, 222 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:14,840 we'd always have to, once a week we would go in there and get the confessional and you 223 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:19,360 confess your sins and the way they do it is like, okay, you say five Hail Marys and six 224 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,760 our fathers and, and 23 acts of contrition. 225 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:27,600 Well, mine was, you know, I was kind of, uh, an active sinner. 226 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:32,840 So, and, uh, uh, so anyway, I, I know our father who art in heaven. 227 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:37,960 Okay. I've prayed it about 4 billion 742 times before I was 12. 228 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:43,480 But anyway, uh, the point is, is that when you pray this prayer, our father, he is in 229 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:44,480 heaven. 230 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:45,480 Okay. 231 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:46,480 That's the first thing. 232 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:50,440 And the other word I want you to focus on is father, because when you go into the courts 233 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,100 of heaven, you go into the mercy courts. 234 00:13:52,100 --> 00:13:54,240 He is just judge heavenly father. 235 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,360 So father is a relationship. 236 00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:00,080 So you're going to your father, you're not going to somebody unjust. 237 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:07,240 And then you're saying yet, even though you're my father, ABBA, my daddy, but hollowed be 238 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:08,240 thy name. 239 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:12,960 So the, in two lines of the prayer, you're saying you're the father. 240 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,880 Yes, I'm, I'm your child. 241 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:16,880 I love you. 242 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:20,960 But at the same time, I'm Halloween, which means make holy or in Hebrew, Kaddosh your 243 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:21,960 name. 244 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,840 Then I immediately state what I want. 245 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:26,280 I want the result right up. 246 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:27,840 I love this. 247 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:29,120 Your kingdom come. 248 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:33,140 There will be done on earth as it is in heaven. 249 00:14:33,140 --> 00:14:36,160 So what is written in heaven, I want done on earth. 250 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:37,160 What earth?

00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:41,920 And I said, yes, sir, it won't happen again. 547 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,240 So that was my very first prayer that was answered. 548 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:46,760 And I also want to tell you, it never happened again. 549 00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:49,320 So that was my little experiment. 550 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:50,600 I was thinking about asking. 551 00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:55,520 Yeah, no, it didn't happen again. 552 00:30:55,520 --> 00:31:00,880 But my point is that my prayer was answered from my Heavenly Father and my Earthly Father, 553 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:04,960 Master Marine Sergeant, two landings, Guadalcanal, Golden Gull Boxer. 554 00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:10,520 This is a tough guy. 555 00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:14,880 He was very tender with that moment. 556 00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,240 And I'll share one other. 557 00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:19,460 Can I share another testimony about my dad? 558 00:31:19,460 --> 00:31:22,420 And this is with prayer. 559 00:31:22,420 --> 00:31:29,500 So years later, my dad, he has a heart attack. 560 00:31:29,500 --> 00:31:30,500 And we lived in Seattle. 561 00:31:30,500 --> 00:31:32,200 We lived in Oregon. 562 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:37,840 And so they call us, your dad's in the hospital, we drive down. 563 00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:43,680 And so we come, Megan's little, we've got the big balloon, get well and all this stuff. 564 00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:49,280 We come in and Christy's there and Ray's in there. 565 00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:54,260 And at that time, he's with his, this would be his second wife because my mother died. 566 00:31:54,260 --> 00:31:56,060 And so they're in there. 567 00:31:56,060 --> 00:32:03,380 And he's in there, he says, listen, he asked everybody, they visited for about five or 568 00:32:03,380 --> 00:32:05,160 10 minutes, that was it. 569 00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:07,920 And he asked all the girls, he said, would you guys leave? 570 00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:13,000 He said, I just need to spend a little bit of time with Curtis, with my son. 571 00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:14,000 Can I do that? 572 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:15,000 He says, yeah. 573 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:16,000 And everyone said, yeah. 574 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:17,000 And it was kind of weird. 575 00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:18,000 He's not like that. 576 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:19,000 It was weird. 577 00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:25,520 So anyway, I'm sitting there and our relationship is not real close. 578 00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,520 He never told me he loved me, even to the day he died. 579 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:33,160 But because of coming out of World War II and who he was, that culture didn't do that. 580 00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:34,160 But I knew he loved me. 581 00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:37,080 I knew he loved me because of the way his actions. 582 00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,600 So meanwhile, he's not saved at this time. 583 00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:41,280 He got saved later. 584 00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:49,220 But I'm a Jesus freak and he's around me and he's always hearing about, well, Curtis went 585 00:32:49,220 --> 00:32:52,120 and prayed for this one and there was a miracle. 586 00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:59,520 At the time, his fiancees had a granddaughter that was born and she was in Children's Hospital 587 00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:03,320 in Portland, Oregon, and she was going to die. 588 00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:09,520 And they asked us to come down and we took her and she's hooked up to all these machines 589 00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:10,520 and stuff. 590 00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:12,520 And I still asked, I asked, I said, can I hold her? 591 00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:15,640 And everyone was going, I'm not sure about that. 592 00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:17,080 And they said, OK, anyway, they let me hold her. 593 00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:19,520 I hold her and I prayed for and the Lord healed her. 594 00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:20,520 So he knows this. 595 00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:22,100 He knows that I'm carrying this gift. 596 00:33:22,100 --> 00:33:24,120 So here's this wacko son that was this. 597 00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:29,560 And now he's the Jesus freak with the healing anointing. 598 00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:35,760 And so he got everybody out and he said to me, he said, listen, he goes, he goes, I'm 599 00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:37,000 afraid to die. 600 00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:40,100 I don't want to die. 601 00:33:40,100 --> 00:33:43,320 And he says, and I'm so tired and I need to sleep. 602 00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:46,500 And he says, and you have so much faith. 603 00:33:46,500 --> 00:33:51,240 And he says, you know, he says, Curtis, I don't know where you get it. 604 00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:53,640 He says, you didn't get it from me. 605 00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:56,780 I mean, we weren't we weren't religious, even though I went to Catholic school. 606 00:33:56,780 --> 00:33:59,120 We were not a religious family. 607 00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:01,440 And he says, I don't know where you get it. 608 00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:02,440 He says, you didn't get it for me. 609 00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:05,120 And I said, no, yes, I did get it from you. 610 00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:08,560 He said, no, he says, I'm not religious. 611 00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:16,380 And I said, when you said you were going to bless me, you always bless me. 612 00:34:16,380 --> 00:34:19,820 When you said we're getting a new swing set, we got the swing set. 613 00:34:19,820 --> 00:34:23,420 When you said we're putting in a swimming pool, you put in the swimming pool. 614 00:34:23,420 --> 00:34:27,080 When you said that we're going to Disneyland, we went to Disneyland. 615 00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:30,160 When you said you would spank me if I did this, you spank me. 616 00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:33,520 So what happens is you were absolutely consistent. 617 00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:39,280 And I realize now that as a Christian, having that consistency in the parenting was crucial 618 00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:44,320 when I made the transition from trying to trust in the flesh to trusting in the Spirit, 619 00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:45,520 somebody I can't see. 620 00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:50,320 So I said, really, the reason I can trust Heavenly Father, my God, through Jesus, is 621 00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:58,080 because of your consistency, it laid a good foundation for me to trust in my Father. 622 00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:01,040 And he just said, wow. 623 00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:04,000 He said, listen, I'm so tired, I need to sleep. 624 00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:05,560 He said, and he's not lying. 625 00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:08,240 Man, this is a man's man, you know. 626 00:35:08,240 --> 00:35:12,260 And he took his bear claw-sized hand, you know. 627 00:35:12,260 --> 00:35:15,300 This is a square jaw, thick neck Marine. 628 00:35:15,300 --> 00:35:16,300 Put his hand in my hand. 629 00:35:16,300 --> 00:35:19,720 And he said, would you hold my hand so I could go to sleep? 630 00:35:19,720 --> 00:35:28,280 Because he says, if I know you're here, I'll be able to sleep. 631 00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:30,620 So I'm holding his hand. 632 00:35:30,620 --> 00:35:33,160 He goes to sleep. 633 00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:39,440 And I didn't want to scare him, but I told the Lord, I said, Father God. 634 00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:41,220 So this is a prayer thing. 635 00:35:41,220 --> 00:35:42,400 This is my prayer. 636 00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:45,760 Father God, I need a favor. 637 00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:51,360 I need a favor. 638 00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:55,280 This man wasn't responsible for me. 639 00:35:55,280 --> 00:36:01,720 He came into an orphanage, took responsibility, and raised me. 640 00:36:01,720 --> 00:36:04,300 Didn't have to do it. 641 00:36:04,300 --> 00:36:08,120 He protected, took care of me, fed me, housed me. 642 00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:10,080 He did everything for me. 643 00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:15,360 And now he needs not only to sleep, but I said, would you heal him? 644 00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:18,900 Because I said, Father, and this is the prayer. 645 00:36:18,900 --> 00:36:23,420 If you heal him, he'll know you're real and he'll come to you and then we'll be in heaven 646 00:36:23,420 --> 00:36:26,280 together when he does die. 647 00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:29,480 That was my prayer, in Jesus' name. 648 00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:30,480 So he falls asleep. 649 00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:35,100 I put his hand back over on his tummy and I slip out of the room. 650 00:36:35,100 --> 00:36:39,080 That night, he has another heart attack. 651 00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:41,400 And the heart attack he has is in the medical records. 652 00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,880 It's called a mother nature bypass. 653 00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:50,840 So what happens is the heart attack actually blast open where the blockage was. 654 00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:57,200 The next day he left the hospital, he was totally healed. 655 00:36:57,200 --> 00:37:00,240 That's pretty wild. 656 00:37:00,240 --> 00:37:03,160 And then he got saved. 657 00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:06,980 And he was saved for probably about six or seven years. 658 00:37:06,980 --> 00:37:10,160 And then the favorite thing that he liked to do was to go to Denny's. 659 00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:14,640 He was a very simple man. 660 00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:18,080 He used to always say to me, Curtis, I don't get it because I'm a foodie. 661 00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:23,320 He said, Curtis, you love to eat and I eat to live. 662 00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:28,420 But his favorite meal was to go to Denny's and get a Grand Slam breakfast. 663 00:37:28,420 --> 00:37:34,120 So one morning he went to breakfast and eaten at Denny's and was having his favorite meal 664 00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:37,600 at his favorite Denny's right there near his house in Salem, Oregon. 665 00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:40,780 And he quietly passed away right there in the restaurant. 666 00:37:40,780 --> 00:37:48,280 And I had the honor and the privilege of doing his funeral and being able to tell the family 667 00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:49,360 that he was saved. 668 00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:54,280 His name was in the book and we'll all see him again. 669 00:37:54,280 --> 00:38:01,020 So the whole story of it was a blessing because the Lord told me, he said years ago to Christy 670 00:38:01,020 --> 00:38:05,220 and I, when we went into full-time ministry doing all the crazy stuff with Israel, which 671 00:38:05,220 --> 00:38:10,460 believe me, I can't tell you the pressure of it. 672 00:38:10,460 --> 00:38:17,520 But did you ever tell him about that moment in that prayer in Oregon at the hospital? 673 00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:19,520 Did I ever talk to him about it? 674 00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:20,520 No. 675 00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:21,520 No, I didn't. 676 00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:24,640 He knew. 677 00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:30,280 He was a very, very private man and a very, very humble man. 678 00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:37,760 He was really a war hero with what he did in World War II. 679 00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:40,840 But he was one of the ones that never talked about it. 680 00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:45,180 So he talked about it toward the end of his life, what happened in the war, and that helped 681 00:38:45,180 --> 00:38:47,700 me to understand him a little better. 682 00:38:47,700 --> 00:38:54,280 But here's the key is that all this stuff about prayer, you just need to ask the Lord. 683 00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:59,440 So I'm in fifth grade, I cry out to God, he answers my prayer. 684 00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:02,200 I don't know what age I was when I prayed with my dad. 685 00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:09,840 It was probably 50-ish, 40, 50, and he healed them. 686 00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:18,600 And I could go through and I prayed for his fiance's granddaughter. 687 00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:22,200 And it was really different because the Lord said, I want you to hold her and take her 688 00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:26,240 out of the room you're in and just pray for her. 689 00:39:26,240 --> 00:39:27,240 And I did. 690 00:39:27,240 --> 00:39:28,460 And the Lord miraculously healed her. 691 00:39:28,460 --> 00:39:32,520 So all these things are people know this in the family. 692 00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:38,980 So what happened is when Christi and I said, we're going to make a commitment to Holy 693 00:39:38,980 --> 00:39:41,080 Follow after you and do this whole Israel thing. 694 00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:42,080 Now, this is in the 90s. 695 00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:46,440 This is, listen, it's not like now where it's kind of fashionable to stand with Israel. 696 00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:49,880 I mean, we were called everything under the sun. 697 00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:55,120 But the Lord said, if you take care of my work, I'll take care of all of yours. 698 00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:59,200 Meaning that with Christi's prayer, the first person that got saved was me. 699 00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:01,380 And our whole family is not saved. 700 00:40:01,380 --> 00:40:05,400 And our whole family also is self-employed, entrepreneurial people, most of them pretty 701 00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:09,040 well off, but yet good people, good, nice people. 702 00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:14,600 And those are the hardest people to lead to the Lord because Christi's dad is like, okay, 703 00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:15,600 I'm charitable. 704 00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:16,600 I take care of other people. 705 00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:17,600 I'm nice. 706 00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:18,760 That should be good enough. 707 00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:21,600 If God doesn't want a nice person, then he doesn't want me. 708 00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:24,880 I'll just go to hell, that kind of crazy talk. 709 00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:34,880 In our family, Christi's mom and dad, my adoptive and biological parents all came to the Lord. 710 00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:38,320 All the cousins, everyone. 711 00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:41,040 And now Christi and I are the, we're the patriarchs now. 712 00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:45,900 We're the last here, but the Lord saved everyone. 713 00:40:45,900 --> 00:40:49,340 And so I really think it was because of Christi's prayer. 714 00:40:49,340 --> 00:40:52,000 And I think our obedience to answer the call. 715 00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:58,560 And so sometimes you just have to pray, Lord, give me strength that as I start to walk out 716 00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:02,920 in the Lord, you know, and everybody's family. 717 00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:07,120 When you get radically saved, I mean, where you and Morgan came from out of that background 718 00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:15,580 into this, you've got to be able to have the strength to trust that they're going to misunderstand. 719 00:41:15,580 --> 00:41:20,760 Where I get my strength for the compassion for it is I remember the unsaved Kurt who 720 00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:28,560 was like Saul making fun of the Jan Crouches and the stuff. 721 00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:30,360 And of course, I'm not that now. 722 00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:35,280 So what happens is the people who come against you, that's why the scripture says in Romans, 723 00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:42,540 it says, bless those who curse you because you used to curse people. 724 00:41:42,540 --> 00:41:50,680 So give them patience before they wake up and pray for that patience so that they can 725 00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:53,360 until they come into the light. 726 00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:58,240

734 00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:44,840 gave me this super deep complex courts of heaven and you gave it to me strong and then 735 00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:50,140 you gave it to me super simple for other people that are definitely going to be in different 736 00:42:50,140 --> 00:42:54,000 walks of their faith that need practical and relational experience. 737 00:42:54,000 --> 00:43:00,920 But I think the big thing that I took away from it is that the simplicity of prayer is 738 00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:02,240 a relational thing. 739 00:43:02,240 --> 00:43:06,240 It's a relationship and it's much like salvation. 740 00:43:06,240 --> 00:43:12,680 I just kept hearing notes of relationship, relational. 741 00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:18,200 Because even when you're little and you're trying to get out of, I guess getting your 742 00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:24,800 butt whooped and really getting in trouble, and then your progression as you got older, 743 00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:30,880 and then you met Miss Christy and then you're at the hospital in Oregon and now you're sitting 744 00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:31,880 here. 745 00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:37,400 It's a progression of the relational side, the relationship with the Father that I'm 746 00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:40,320 really starting to hear notes of. 747 00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:46,560 Listen, it's everything is relationship. 748 00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:52,720 So at CLM, we have a lot of employees. 749 00:43:52,720 --> 00:43:56,200 And to be honest with you, I'm not one of these people like they say, well, I have all 750 00:43:56,200 --> 00:44:00,080 these kids and I love them all the same. 751 00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:03,840 You may love your children all the same, but you interact with all of them based, if you're 752 00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:07,780 really attentive, you're going to interact with them in different personality. 753 00:44:07,780 --> 00:44:12,220 So with all the employees here, I interact with each one into where I think will be most 754 00:44:12,220 --> 00:44:15,840 effective to help them understand what I'm trying to communicate. 755 00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:16,840 So I don't treat everybody. 756 00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:17,840 It's not like the same thing. 757 00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:19,120 It's not cookie cut. 758 00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:28,000 And if I can share with people in prayer, don't become a chameleon or a robot to the 759 00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:31,500 culture of how you pray. 760 00:44:31,500 --> 00:44:33,440 Just be real with God. 761 00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:35,340 You have to be. 762 00:44:35,340 --> 00:44:41,220 And people listen, and the other thing is, if you're a person who prays a lot and God 763 00:44:41,220 --> 00:44:43,280 answers the prayer, they're going to come to you. 764 00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:46,420 I'll close with this one testimony. 765 00:44:46,420 --> 00:44:53,820 So Paul and I, my son-in-law, we go to Israel and we're working on some business stuff we 766 00:44:53,820 --> 00:44:54,820 do there. 767 00:44:54,820 --> 00:45:02,720 So we go into a meeting and there's high level Knesset members and the ones we're meeting 768 00:45:02,720 --> 00:45:03,720 with are Orthodox. 769 00:45:03,720 --> 00:45:08,000 So these are Orthodox Jewish guys, you know, the curl, the black suit, the big hats, the 770 00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:09,440 whole thing. 771 00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:14,400 And one of them couldn't come to the meeting because he had had a bypass surgery, a heart 772 00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:18,080 attack and triple bypass. 773 00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:19,800 And so I said, okay, well, it's no big deal. 774 00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:22,280 I said, listen, we can meet with them the next time we come. 775 00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:26,400 What we were doing was a preliminary step and it was going to take three trips anyway. 776 00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:28,720 So this was the first trip. 777 00:45:28,720 --> 00:45:33,520 And the other Orthodox guy said, oh no, he said, Rabbi, this other Rabbi, he says he 778 00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:35,160 has to meet with you. 779 00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:36,160 And I said, no, we can do it. 780 00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:38,620 Listen, he just had a bypass three days ago. 781 00:45:38,620 --> 00:45:40,680 He said, no, he wants to meet with you. 782 00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:42,160 I said, no, please, please. 783 00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:46,120 He said to me, he said, Rabbi, call me Rabbi. 784 00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:49,840 He said, he wants you to pray for him. 785 00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:54,520 This is an Orthodox Rabbi and knows that I'm the Jesus guy. 786 00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:55,760 And I said, okay. 787 00:45:55,760 --> 00:46:00,920 So we went to a hotel where we know the manager and, you know, they have those private suites 788 00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:05,280 on the upstairs. 789 00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:08,480 And what they did is they sent security in there and blocked that off. 790 00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:16,440 And this Knesset Rabbi comes in and he still got the little stickers from, you know, where 791 00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:19,600 they do all the heart monitoring and stuff. 792 00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:26,480 So he came out from his house there and he doesn't speak any English, total Hebrew. 793 00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:31,320 I have never met him before, but I had prayed for a friend of his that had cancer, was supposed 794 00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:33,400 to die and the Lord healed him. 795 00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:37,000 And so he said, he evidently said to him, he says, listen, we're meeting with Paul and 796 00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:38,000 Kurt. 797 00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:39,240 He said, make sure you have Kurt pray for you. 798 00:46:39,240 --> 00:46:40,240 And he didn't come. 799 00:46:40,240 --> 00:46:43,360 So anyway, I'm just saying, so I go in and I had to explain to him, I said, listen, I'm 800 00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:44,360 not a healer. 801 00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:45,360 Okay. 802 00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:46,360 It's not me. 803 00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:47,360 Okay. 804 00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:49,320 I said, I have a gift, but the gift is from the Lord, from Yeshua. 805 00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:52,240 So I said, when I pray, I have to pray for you and shoe his name because it's not me. 806 00:46:52,240 --> 00:46:55,560 I mean, I'm not like the gift doesn't belong to me. 807 00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:56,880 It flows through me. 808 00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:57,880 He says, all right. 809 00:46:57,880 --> 00:46:58,880 So he's good with that. 810 00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:02,560 And they translate or translates and Paul speaks Hebrew and he's translating to them. 811 00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:03,560 And I'll never forget it. 812 00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:05,720 Paul, I'll tell you, he unbuttons his shirt. 813 00:47:05,720 --> 00:47:07,580 This is an Orthodox Jewish guy. 814 00:47:07,580 --> 00:47:11,600 He's got the stickers on there and he wants me to put my hand in on his heart. 815 00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:12,600 And I do. 816 00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:16,600 And man, I felt the heat coming through my hand and I prayed for a Lord, you heal him 817 00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:19,000 in Yeshua's name because he was afraid. 818 00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:22,880 And I prayed for him the peace of God, the shalom comes and the Lord healed. 819 00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:25,280 So there you go. 820 00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:27,440 So and that's why you've been with us this morning. 821 00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:28,900 People say, why do you? 822 00:47:28,900 --> 00:47:30,620 It's not just the humanitarian aid. 823 00:47:30,620 --> 00:47:34,860 They sense that this person prays and gets results. 824 00:47:34,860 --> 00:47:37,240 And if I could say anything, the results come. 825 00:47:37,240 --> 00:47:38,240 It's not about me. 826 00:47:38,240 --> 00:47:40,120 I'm not trying to exalt my ministry. 827 00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:41,760 Listen, it's just a calling. 828 00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:45,440 But my whole walk with the Lord has been fueled by relationship. 829 00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:46,760 It's just relationship. 830 00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:52,000 And the other thing is I gave up years ago trying to explain my relationship with Jesus 831 00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:55,000 and the Lord to people because it's personal. 832 00:47:55,000 --> 00:48:02,720 It would be, I don't think as married couples, I don't think you should ever discuss intimacy 833 00:48:02,720 --> 00:48:03,720 with anyone. 834 00:48:03,720 --> 00:48:05,920 It's between you and your spouse. 835 00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:06,920 It's holy. 836 00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:07,920 It's a gift. 837 00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:11,440 I don't think you should ever talk about it, even with girls, with girls, guys, it should 838 00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:12,440 be off. 839 00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:13,440 It should be off limits. 840 00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:17,280 And I think some of the stuff that you talk to God about should be off limits as well. 841 00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:19,120 I think it has to remain special. 842 00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:20,120 And then it does. 843 00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:24,040 So when you get into that situation, whether you're in fifth grade and you don't want to 844 00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:29,080 get a whooping or you need somebody to be healed, you need to be able to go in there 845 00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:35,480 and like I said and say, Lord, I need a favor. 846 00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:36,480 And He gave it to me. 847 00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:39,480 That's good stuff. 848 00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:40,480 Wow. 849 00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:42,920 Podcast to curtlandrew.com. 850 00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:48,360 If you've got questions, you've got topics that you'd like us to talk about. 851 00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:53,760 Rabbi, we'll just add them up if we get a ton of the same topics. 852 00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:58,800 I guess that'll probably tell us what people want extra information about and kind of have 853 00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:00,480 you speak into it. 854 00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:05,680 So again, you can send that over a
