Title "Open Your Mouth Wide" (August 26)
Contents
During the past week, there was a work to replace equipment in the broadcasting room.
Since the work was not completed yet, the sermon could not be recorded on the sound system, so I had to record the audio using MP3. Therefore, the sound quality of the recording is not good. Please understand this widely.
When the work is completed, we expect to be able to provide better service.
Shalom!!!
open your mouth wide
(Psalm 81:8-16)
(…) God speaks today. “Open your mouth wide. I will fill it.” He tells us to open only our mouths wide.(…) These words are to long for grace and salvation. Who can open their mouth wide? You can open your mouth wide only when you have your own lack and hunger, and you have to feel sorry for it. We who come to God must hunger and thirst for righteousness. You must have a sincere wish. It is believing that God will reward you and opening your mouth wide. This is the attitude of a Christian before God. Opening your mouth wide is an image of a praying saint. Prayer is to kindle a fire in my heart.(…) A person who prays is a person who sets fire to energy. A person who prays is stronger than a nation without prayer. Ability is not a resource, but a decision that ignites that resource.
①Pray to open your mouth wide.
Add prayer to your faith. It is to light the fire of prayer in the energy of faith. “When you widen the place of your tent, do not spare the veil of your dwelling place, but spread it out wide; lengthen your cords and strengthen your stakes” (Isaiah 54:2~3) The foundation of our life is our home and our business. Our church is the foundation of our faith. When setting up a tent, ‘to lengthen the cord and strengthen the word’ means prayer. I hope you become a Christian who prays.(…) We will have a very special early morning prayer meeting from tomorrow to the 5th. The reason for the special early morning prayer meeting is because ㉠ not only prepare for this crusade, but let all Christians restore prayer this time, ㉡ prepare a special message to check the foundation of faith.(…) I hope that prayer will be restored at dawn. If you pray hard, you will receive power.
②Open your mouth wide for the Holy Spirit to work.
(…) True power does not come from matter. It comes from the spiritual world. The Bible says that the source of strength is the Holy Spirit. The disciples of the Lord were powerless fishermen, carpenters, and publicans, but as they received the Holy Spirit, the Church was born. They moved according to the winds of the Holy Spirit. Hyundai focuses on the program, thinking that a well-planned program “can make a difference” and “can make the saints mature.” So churches are using tree huggers. But the church must be a ministry with the Holy Spirit.(…) The Holy Spirit does not dwell in the soul who does not pray. We must live a life of faith riding the wind of the Holy Spirit.
③ Pray for lost souls.
What the text continues to say is ‘Listen’, ‘I want to hear’, ‘Why do you refuse to listen?’ Hear, Hear. It is a command to open your heart, and it is also an exhortation. Faith comes from hearing. Open your ears and open your heart. I can open my mouth wide.(…) While praying for lost souls, I connect with God and my soul comes to life. God fills it.(…) There is prayer because there is an answer. E. M. Bound said, “When you go to heaven, you will know that many souls are saved through our earnest prayers. Preaching about God is a great thing. But praying for people is even greater. The life-giving preacher is a man of God. But the lost soul savior is the Son of God.” I hope that you will have fellowship with God through prayer on this occasion. Amen.
