There Is Power in the Blood
1 Would you be free from the burden of sin?
There’s pow’r in the blood, pow’r in the blood;
Would you o’er evil a victory win?
There’s wonderful pow’r in the blood.
There is pow’r, pow’r, wonder-working pow’r
In the blood of the Lamb;
There is pow’r, pow’r, wonder-working pow’r
In the precious blood of the Lamb.
2 Would you be free from your passion and pride?
There’s pow’r in the blood, pow’r in the blood;
Come for a cleansing to Calvary’s tide–
There’s wonderful pow’r in the blood.
3 Would you be whiter, yes brighter than snow?
There’s pow’r in the blood, pow’r in the blood;
Sin-stains are lost in its life-giving flow–
There’s wonderful pow’r in the blood.
4 Would you do service for Jesus, your King?
There’s pow’r in the blood, pow’r in the blood;
Would you live daily His praises to sing?
There’s wonderful pow’r in the blood.
Confession of Faith
The Apostles’ Creed
I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth;
And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, Our Lord,
Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
Born of the Virgin Mary,
Suffered under Pontius Pilate,
Was crucified, dead, and buried.
He descended into hell.
On the third day, He rose again from the dead.
He ascended into heaven,
And is seated at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty;
From thence, He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
The Holy Universal Church,
The communion of saints,
The forgiveness of sins,
The resurrection of the body
And life everlasting. Amen.
Scripture Reading
Judges 21:25
In those days Israel had no king; everyone did as they saw fit.

How Can We Receive Answers to Prayer?
▣ Introduction – Experiencing Answered Prayer
1. 99% don’t receive answers to prayer – Life is difficult, it feels like a futile struggle, and there are unspeakable spiritual problems.
2. But those who have the power of prayer – How they interpret every situation changes, so the answers change. No matter where they are or what situation comes, it’s okay.
3. Israel continued to suffer under the Philistines because they didn’t believe in God’s promise.
4. Reasons prayers are not answered – Judges 21:25: When everyone does as they see fit, they fall into Genesis 3, 6, and 11.
1) The moment you think and worry without praying, you enter Genesis 3.
2) Evidence – Joseph’s brothers, the Israelites, and King Solomon acted according to their own thoughts; because they did not realize, Assyria and Babylon invaded.
5. The way to receive answers to prayer – “as God sees fit”
1) Prayer is a spiritual science.
2) You must see as God sees, seeking His will, what God desires, and through His perspective.
3) Just asking this one question can overturn the spiritual realm.
▣ Main Body
1. The prayer of one person who holds the covenant (God’s perspective, plan, absolute goal)
1) From the moment Joseph held onto the covenant of world evangelization, God’s work began – Joseph saw everything differently.
(1) Slave – the path to fulfilling God’s dream
(2) Prison – the path to success
(3) Governor – the path to world missions
2) Jochebed, who asked God’s plan during a crisis
3) Hannah, who saw the necessity of a Nazirite to testify of God’s work – Samuel (1 Samuel 3:19, 7:13–14, 16:13)
4) Isaiah, who realized this covenant, overturned Babylon
▷ When problems and answers come, we must ask God’s perspective.
2. The prayer of one person who knows God’s method
1) Centered on the three feasts –
(1) Passover (delivered from darkness through the blood of the Lamb),
(2) Feast of Ingathering (power of the throne),
(3) Pentecost (working of the Holy Spirit)
2) Centered on the tabernacle – 24-hour prayer (Daniel 6:10)
3) Centered on the Ark of the Covenant –
(1) The tablets of the Word (eternal),
(2) Jar of manna (life),
(3) Aaron’s budding staff (things that happen during worship and prayer)
3. The prayer of one person who knows the God-given background
1) The throne – Build the bartizan of the throne. Go on that journey. Set up that guidepost.
2) The Kingdom of God – the first answer that comes
3) The works of the Kingdom of God
▣ Conclusion
1. Challenge the absolutely impossible. In an age of disaster, challenge the disasters to be removed. Prayer is about breaking the forces of darkness. Prayer is when the background of the throne comes upon you. Prayer is always answered. Rome was evangelized through the prayer of one person who held onto the gospel.
2. You must have the conviction that prayer changes the age. When you pray, the Seven Bartizans move. You can walk the journey of the throne. The guidepost of the throne is established.
3. Prayer is the start of receiving new strength and seeing God’s absolute plan.

We Will Keep Our Faith Alive!
1 Gathered here, within this place,
We can share in God’s redeeming grace.
There’s no room for doubt or fear;
We can feel His presence here.
As we face each passing day,
We will serve and honor and obey;
And if hope should start to dim,
We will know our trust is in Him.
And we will keep our faith alive,
God will always be our guide.
Through the darkest night,
We will see God’s light.
We will keep our faith alive!
2 We will live as God has planned,
Though at times we may not understand.
Many things we may not see,
But our faith will help us believe.
From His Word we learn the truth;
Through His love we all are born anew.
With His help, we will not fail
For we know our God will prevail.
Benediction
May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.
