“Criticizing without knowledge is dangerous. If you don’t know all the ins and all the outs, if you don’t know what this person knows, how can I How can I tell you what to do unless I know what it is that you’re truly facing.
Oh Father, I thank you. I thank you for, for, for opening our eyes and our hearts to you so that we can see others the way that you see them I know that that’s something and I desire that’s something that’s needfull, in my life That I compare myself to you.
As I pray for them.
Whoa! As I talk about others, the only person I compare myself to, is Jesus.
Oh I praise you and just as he when the woman was brought to him, to judge and he stooped down and wrote on the stone on the stone pavements And he was the only one that was without sin. Who would have been able to cast the first stone. But he didn’t.
He prayed for her, he prayed for, He strengthened her. So I thank you that today we will speak life into people’s lives.
We will speak strength into people’s lives and we hear what from you what it is that they truly need.
When we spend time praying for them. Saying God, what do they need? What do I need to pray? How can I pray for this one?
How do I pray for my president? How do I pray for the vice president? How do I pray for the Congress? How do I pray for this one?
How do I pray for those first, that say that they belong to you? How do I pray for them? Give me the words to pray for this one.
Let us start to take time.
It takes time to pray for all those people rather than just to have an opinion. Have you prayed for them?
Before you speak against them, no matter who they are. Have you prayed to know what’s going on?
Oh no, no, no, no, I haven’t had time. I don’t, are you kiddin’? It would take forever to pray about to pray for all the people that I criticize?!
Oh No All the people that I have thoughts and opinions about. If I took time to pray even one minute for all of them I’d be praying all day.
See, that’s what the average person would have to say that’s what the average ecclesia the average Christian, the average believer would have to say.
Well then if I if I’m not gonna pray for them, to find out what to say about them, why would I say anything about them?”
