You are about to enjoy a presentation recorded at the 2022 Michigan Conference Camp Meeting held at Cedar Lake, Michigan.

We pray that the Lord will bless you as you listen.

Our great God, our dear, loving Heavenly Father, Lord, we praise and we thank you for giving us this chance to talk about you, to talk about this beautiful gift, this beautiful privilege that you have given us to have this open communication between you and us.

So Lord I pray that as my sister said that we might not take it lightly of how you desire Lord to spend time with your people and to talk to your people.

Lord may the anointing power of your Holy Spirit be upon us.

Hide me behind your cross Lord and may it not be my words it will all be your words oh Lord And we pray that may our hearts be big enough to receive the blessings that you're about to impart to us.

Pray all this in the loving and precious name of your son Jesus, all your children say.

Friends, if you notice that I'm wearing something beautiful here.

So if you want to have this, did you bring an extra?

But don't worry, go to her booth, exhibit booth.

Love God supremely and love your neighbor as yourself.

Yes and I forgot as well to bring something because for those of you who are living here around the area or in Michigan, friends, we will have faith camp this coming July 20 to 24 and it's an amazing time to come together to fellowship.

It's like Michigan camp meeting, but it's more intimate.

The speakers will all be missionaries coming from the mission field.

And I don't know if you heard about the Tenkanos, the ones who spoke at GYC, they were former multi-millionaires, but gave everything.

What Brother Randy was singing about, gave everything and lived all for the glory of God.

In the main church, in the big church, in the campus, so it's gonna be here.

Yeah, the church, not this 1, not the gym, but the church on the road.

So you could pass by their booth later on and take the flyers because they have flyers.

We will have prayer time together as well.

Oh yeah, September 24th, we will have a prayer seminar.

So if you want to sign up, just pass the paper.

So friends, what I share this week was just a tidbit of what the Lord was really teaching us.

And this is the picture that I always see when I study about prayer.

It's really the Lord's desire to communicate with his people.

It's really the Lord's desire for his church to take him at his word.

It's really the Lord's desire that he will be our first go-to, our first, Our first reason to run to, the 1 that we should run to first, no 1 else, nothing else but Him.

And I have seen this, I have read this again and again and again.

Every time I read a devotional that really speaks to my heart that God is really wanting His church to be entirely dependent on Him.

And friends, if we are dependent on Him, no question, we would not even have to call for prayer.

Everyone would have this culture of, Let's come together, let's pray.

Before we could go in any further with our discussion, with our arguments, what do we do?

And friends, I love this beautiful reminder from Patriarchs and Prophets, page 717, paragraph 1.

And Friends, I told you that I'll share with you everything that I shared here and even the things that I was not able to share.

It will all be there and even the morning devotionals that I've been sharing before our United Prayer, I'll be sharing it with you as well.

From the first day up to, they said that our United Prayer, Pastor, is only until tomorrow, but I suspect that it will be until Saturday.

So even if they stop us praying, no 1 can stop us, we'll still pray there.

Patricks and Prophets, page 717, paragraph 1, it says, the tenor of the Bible is to inculcate distrust of human power and to encourage trust in the divine power.

This is the whole tenor of the Lord's desire for us to inculcate this trust in what you can do, and to encourage full trust in what God can do.

Friends, a very simple reminder that God is giving us.

Friends, just imagine if it's the Lord's ideas, it'll never go wrong.

You'll never ever be disappointed if it's the Lord's ideas.

And this day, I'll just be sharing with you quotes that have really spoken to my heart because these quotes alone, this is such a profound reminder for us of how important prayer is.

Listen, it says here, we do not value the power and efficacy of prayer as we should.

The power and efficacy of prayer as we should.

But it says here, prayer and faith will do what no power on earth can accomplish.

Friends, if this is our reality, if this is the reality of our families, of our ministries, of our churches, friends, just imagine what God can do.

Just imagine friends of what will happen to the work that the Lord has left us.

It says here, there is a mighty, by the way, I skipped all the, what's this?

It says here, there is a mighty power in prayer.

Our great adversary is constantly seeking to keep the troubled soul away from God.

Constantly seeking to keep the soul away from God.

Friends, if our eyes will be open, we will see the battle, the great controversy battle that is happening around us.

We will not be confident going out of our bed and stepping out of our room without knowing that Christ is with us.

We will not be so confident just brushing through our devotions and having a drive-through prayer time with the Lord and just leaving His presence.

Friends, this is the thing that I realized.

Most of us wanted to have a feast with Jesus, but we are just investing a drive-through type of experience.

If we want a feast, then we should be hungry.
