LR:
I’m right here in the Abundant Life Prayer Tower on the campus of Oral Roberts University. And right as you see where I just walked out of, we walked out live with the Prayer Group praying. And I do have a couple of prayer requests that have just come in. And before we get to those, I do want to tell you something. Are you pressured, stressed, frustrated? Look me in the face. Yes! Okay, so we’ve accomplished that much. We know what the problem is.
This book I wrote, it says, “Take charge of the negative situations that come to attack you. Overcome them with the Word of God.” I want to give this to you. Normally this book is for sale. And you know what? I’ve had a lot of fun writing it. But it’s not about fun writing it or selling it. It’s about getting it into your hands and understanding that you could take charge of negative situations that come to attack you. Overcome them with the Word of God.
Now I want you to pick up your telephone, call a free number, 866—that’s toll-free—866 is a free number—870-MYDC, like Make Your Day Count, 870-MYDC, or the same number is 866-870-6932, 870-6932. That’s a free call.
And what I want you to do is say, “I want Lindsay’s free book. Please send it to me.” And I want to give it to you. I’m sowing seed. Why? Because if you read in Malachi, it says that when you sow and tithe unto God—this is my seed—that God will open you the windows of heaven and pour you out a blessing where there’s not room enough to receive it. We all could use that. And He would rebuke the devourer for your sake.
Satan walks around as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Now I just read that to you. That’s in the book of 1 Peter. Satan is trying to devour you. How do you combat that? You know what? I believe we combat it with tithe and offering. Because Malachi says when you bring tithe and offering into the storehouse, when you give to God’s work, He will open you the windows of heaven, He’ll pour you out a blessing where there’s not room enough to receive it, and He will rebuke the devourer for your sake.
And so I have to do my part. I have to sow seed. And my seed to you today is Overcoming Stress. It’s a gift, 866—I’m so bad about toll-free numbers, the 1-800 thingies. But here’s what it is: 866-870-MYDC. That’s the same as 866-870-6932. You call that number. You tell them, “Lindsay told me to order this book, and Lindsay says it’s free.” And it’s free to you today. I want to give it to you.
Now one thing I want to do is, from the time that we announced we were going to do this, we asked people to call or write in, and we were going to take their prayer request live. We said it last night on The Hour of Healing. And two particular prayer requests came in. I’ve got some stacks over there that we’re going to go through in a minute, and I’ve got some Seed-Faith gifts that people are saying as they sow, they want the devourer rebuked. So I’m going to read those in a minute.
But listen to this. This is a person by the name of Tommy, and Tommy called in, right here in Oklahoma, and said that he’s having struggles because of bereavement, that there had been a loss in his family and he had not been able to overcome that.
This other person called in and said that in the city that they live in—the man lives in Pennsylvania—and the particular city that they live in, he said this particular city has just really been rampant with drugs and alcohol and violence in the youth. And he said he wants to see the youth of his city come to Christ. He’s also believing for a particular job.
In the name of Jesus, right now we’re just going to stop for this precious one that’s called in about not being able to get over the loss, bereavement. The Bible says that Jesus came to heal the brokenhearted.
And for the drugs and alcohol and violence in the city that this precious man called in, I am praying for young people to come to Christ and that city to experience revival, in Jesus’ name.
You know, it’s so simple to just see the need around. But you know what? We can fight. We can’t fight one another, but we can fight the good fight of our faith. The Bible says. God requires us to fight one fight, one battle, and that’s the good fight of our faith.
This precious lady wrote in, and I don’t want to give too much information. But I tell you this, and I’ve never been in this position before. I have not gotten into a situation remotely like this. But I tell you, it doesn’t matter how you hurt, Jesus wants you healed.
She said that she is a caretaker for a family member with Alzheimer’s. And she said it’s gotten to the point where although she loves this family member very dearly, she’s become a nervous wreck and said, “The only thing I’ve thought about day in and day out is ending my life.”
She said, “I know it’s terrible to think like that, but I must tell you I’m really tired.” And she said, “Please pray for me.”
And then she said, “I’m enclosing a Seed-Faith gift.” And she said the amount. And the amount of the Seed-Faith gift is according to Malachi 3:10 and 11, where it says, “Bring ye tithe and offering into the storehouse and expecting God”—He said, “Prove me, and see if I’ll not open you the windows of heaven, pour you out a blessing, and rebuke the devourer.”
Now in the name of Jesus, I pray for peace and rest on you, sweetie, for God to bring you peace and rest and you to be a strong caretaker and for these suicide thoughts to go. And the Bible says you’ll live and not die and declare the works of the Lord. We pray over you right now for that.
This one called and said, “Please pray for depression.” I can’t even begin to tell you the number of stacks of prayer requests that we’ve had over depression. We speak right now in the name of Jesus—this person’s from Pennsylvania. And she sowed a Seed-Faith gift, and she said, “I am expecting a miracle as I plant my seed.”
All right, in the name of Jesus, we speak to anyone with depression. In the name of Jesus, we break the bondage of depression. And we say, in Jesus’ name, don’t have a breakdown; have a breakthrough, in Jesus’ name.
And then one more I want to read real quickly. And she said she has a specific need. And she said she just feels like giving up, just giving up.
You know what? I’m going to tell you one more time. And, again, I’m reading the phone number because I’m not real good about these phone numbers—866-870-6932, 866-870-6932. Stressed, pressured, frustrated, yep, I know how you feel. I didn’t write this book out of la-la land. I wrote this book out of experience. Believe me, I know what it feels like. There are days when I wrote this book that I thought, I’m so stressed, I can’t write a stress book. Now that’s ridiculous. But it’s the truth. Sometimes we feel so stressed.
You know, I read a statistic when I was writing this book that the number one thing people worry about is that they worry too much. This is not God’s highest and best. And we pray for you right now, for God to bring healing to that situation. Dial 866-870-6932. When the operator comes on, just tell them, “I want Lindsay’s free book.” And it is my gift to you.
I also want you to do one other thing. Pick up your telephone right now if you have a prayer request. Because, like I said, we are live right here in the Prayer Tower here in Tulsa. And I want you to dial 918-495-7777, 918-495-7777. Please give the prayer partners your prayer request. If you want to sow a seed, they’ll take that as well. And we are praying over them live as we get the requests.
We’re going to watch something called Living Proof, and it’s living proof that God is still in the miracle business. And we will be right back.
