Welcome and the Persistent Widow's Victory 0:15 Welcome to Today with Marilyn and Sarah. I am so honored that you are joining us today. We're gonna have an amazing time looking at 1 of my grandmother's classic teachings, winning every day. Now, we don't0:27 have time to show you the whole original teaching, but I wanna make sure you get your copy of today's teaching notes. This is our free downloadable copy that you can get on our website, and I wanna make sure you get this0:38 in your hands today. So, go on our website and make sure you get today's copy of the teaching notes. I also wanna take some time and thank our partners. Partners, thank you so much for what you do. It's with your help0:50 that we get to do all sorts of amazing ministry all over the world, so thank you from the bottom of our hearts. I also wanna make sure that you get prayed for today.1:02 Every single person watching here has prayer needs. I know that you may need a healing in your body. You may need a miracle in your finances. Whatever the case, please call. Go on the website.1:14 We know that God has miracles for you today. And you can win every battle. Every battle that is waged against you, you can win today. Call, go on the website. We want to1:26 pray with you today. This teaching is very classic. It's very powerful, and it's 1 of my favorites that my grandmother did. This is about how to win every1:38 single day. From the moment you get up out of bed, you can start winning. Make sure you look at today's teaching. Let's jump in.1:46 Now today, I am very excited about this message because it's how winners always win. So you know that's a big deal to me that you win,1:58 because it's a big deal to God. And you know I use this scripture over and over, thanks be unto God who always leads us to triumph in Christ and through us diffuses the fragrance2:10 of his knowledge in every place. Now it says always, everybody say always. Always. So God always wants you to win. So this is what I say when I haven't2:22 won yet. I say, well, the game is not over yet. But they can't because the game is not over till I win. How do winners win? So I want you to look at a scripture2:34 this morning with me and this is Luke 18 and I'm going to just look at maybe verses 2, 3, and 4 and it says, there was a certain2:45 city, a judge who did not fear God nor regard man. Now there was a widow in that city and she came to him saying, get justice for me, for my adversary.2:57 And he would not for a while but afterward he said within himself, though I do not fear God nor regard man yet because this widow troubles me I will avenge3:09 her lest by her continual coming she wearies me. And so what does God say? This is like prayer, Sometimes you don't see an answer,3:21 but don't give up because prayer works. How do winners win? They win through prayer. So I want to just share something that happened to me. When our church was about 3 years3:33 old, we had a couple who came to our church and I'm going to guess she was probably in her mid forties, maybe late forties, and she was pregnant and she3:45 had adult sons and an adult daughter probably they were in their early or late teens early twenties and she got pregnant. You know we would say well it's a change of life baby,3:56 but she came to me because when the baby was born it lived for a little while, it was a little girl, and then died. And so she said to me, you are my pastor's wife4:09 and we're going to be having a ceremony for this little girl, baby girl, and would you come to with me to the cemetery because you're my pastor's wife. Now, I'm gonna4:21 tell you how I felt. I thought, dear me, you know, I'm about 29, maybe 30 years old. I don't feel adequate to go with this woman, I know she's an older Christian than I4:33 am, she's a strong Christian, but I will go because I'm the pastor's wife. So I went with her and I'll never forget it was out on the side of a hill where they were4:45 bearing this baby. And I remember praying with her for this and let me tell you, her name was Judith Glazier. Did I ever4:56 dream praying with her that day as her pastor's wife that she would become an intercessor for me for over 40 years? And she died maybe 2 or5:08 3 years ago and I told her you can't die till I'm finished. You know? And she said to me, now Marilyn, you know I don't want you to give up, remember I have a sister5:20 named Evelyn. Evelyn would you stand up? And so thank God for people who pray. What is going to make you win?5:32 Prayer is going to make you win, but if you're not persistent, everybody say persistent, and if you give up you won't win. Do you think prayer is powerful? Do you5:44 think all those 40 years of her praying for me that it didn't help me? Do you think reaching 134 nations and every day, every weekday we reach over 10000000005:55 people? Do you think that was important? Why? Because prayer makes you win. Put your hand on your heart again. Say, I won't forget.6:08 Prayer Prayer. Makes you win.6:11 I wanna pray with you right now if you are in the middle of a difficult situation. Maybe you think there's no end in sight or you look at this battle that you're fighting and you really don't see how you're gonna get6:22 through it. I know that God has an ending to this season of your life. So call, go on the website. We wanna pray with you that God would give you hope and courage and faith, and that you would be6:34 able to keep pushing and praying and contending for victory in the middle of your difficult situation. Call, go on the website. We wanna pray with you today that God would strengthen you and6:46 uphold you with his righteous right hand. Let's jump right back into the teaching.Overcoming Unanswered Prayer Through Persistence 6:50 And so when I look at this, I say, well, what should we pray about? Well, Jesus said, we should always pray. So look at someone. Say,7:02 honey, never give up. Never give up. Always pray. Always pray. And so we pray about everything. Everything because we can constantly pray.7:14 That's important to us. Now the bible says in all your ways this is number 1 acknowledge him he shall direct your paths. And so I would say7:26 to you how many of you are expecting to go to heaven? Oh yeah. Really I don't think you'll pray in Heaven. So where do you need to pray? Right now. Say here. Here. And so we7:37 pray about everything, but what about unanswered prayer? And everybody here if you are honest there are things you're afraid7:49 about you didn't see happen. Am I right? Yes. And there are things you're afraid about you're disappointed because you think where is God? Why hasn't he opened this door? Or why did8:01 this have to happen? Why did this person have to die? Or you know why did this person turn against God? Why are these things? So I want to address unanswered prayer8:13 and you have it in your notes. And he said to them, which of you shall have a friend and go to him at midnight and say to him, friend lend me 3 loaves for a friend of mine8:25 has come to me on his journey and I have nothing to set before him. And he will answer from within and say do not trouble me, the door is now shut and my children with me in bed. I cannot rise8:37 and give to you. I say to you though he will not rise and give to him because he is his friend, yet because of his what? You're not reading. Shame on8:49 you. Because of his what? Because of his Say it again. Persistence. So do you stop praying when you don't think it's not answered? Not answered. Everybody say persistence. Persistence. Don't give up.9:01 He will rise and give him as many as he needs. So I say to you ask and it will be given to you. We like this. Seek and you will find. Knock9:13 and it will be open to you for everyone who ask what? To seek. And he who seeks what? And to him who knocks what? It will be open. It will be open. But you persist.9:26 You keep asking. You keep knocking. Right? Right. And you stay in there with persistence. So that's very powerful for us. And I was thinking of the9:38 power of prayer. I have a good friend. He's a pastor in this city now. I would guess he's 33 or 34, But he and his parents moved here9:50 from Mexico and his mother was dying of cancer. And they, you know, they were basically Catholic background, but they went by a little building 1 night10:02 and it said, God answers prayer. It was a church. So they went in and the pastor was very warm to them, and they got this little church praying for their mother, and the10:14 mother was totally healed of cancer. Now today remember, prayer has ripple effect. Say that with me, rip prayer has10:26 ripple effect. So she got healed, The sons and the daughter both serve God. Now her son is a pastor here in inner city for our10:37 church for our city and he does big meetings overseas. Nepal, Central America, South America, but that's the ripple effect of prayer. So when you stay10:49 in, it doesn't look good, doesn't look like anything is gonna happen, everything is against it, but God answers prayer. But many times, it keeps you keep asking.11:01 Everybody say keep asking. You keep seeking and you keep what? Knocking. And it takes some time. Now, I want to look at this also because sometimes when we11:13 have children and we have mates and we have people in our families who have wandered away, don't want to serve God, don't want to have anything to do with us, don't give up.11:24 Keep asking, keep seeking, keep knocking because sometimes folks, we've had this happen in our services, parents will be here at the front and we give an altar call and their kids11:36 come from the back. And I remember 1 time when this happened, this man had 4 sons. He and his wife had gotten saved in our church, spirit filled, real turned on to God, but their11:48 sons didn't like it. And they didn't want to be Christians and so they said, you know this year for the new year we want all 4 of our sons to be saved. Well that doesn't sound like that's going to happen.12:00 But they've been believing God, believing God, and by the middle of the year they had all 4 sons who came and came from the back and came forward and got saved and they got to see it.12:12 Did they give up when the sons cursed them? Did they say it will never happen? No. They believed.12:20 Do you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or even like the battle is just too much? God has already equipped you to win every single day.

Come join me.14:13 I cannot wait to see you. Welcome back to today with Marilyn and Sarah. We're gonna have an amazing time jumping into today's teaching, but I14:25 wanted to share with you a quick testimony from my own life. There was a time in my life where I didn't know if I was gonna have an opportunity to go on a mission strip. The Lord encouraged me, my parents told me to14:35 pray, and I continue to pray and believe for the money and the country to open up, and God made a way for me where there wasn't a way. And it's because I didn't give up. I didn't stop asking, I didn't stop seeking, and I14:47 didn't stop knocking. For every single person watching today, make sure that you keep going, that you keep praying, pushing in, and believing God for miracles because you can win14:59 every single day. Let's jump right back into the teaching.Faith in Unbelief: Zechariah, Speaking Life, and Redemption 15:03 If you look at 3 point number 3, I'm gonna talk about it should be Zechariahs and Elizabeth. Remember they're the parents of John the Baptist.15:16 Now, they were older and I don't think they probably had prayed and prayed and prayed because it was not good for a woman not to have a baby in that time. And15:28 nothing happened nothing happened and they're older. Everybody say older. And so now it is the time for Zechariah to come and spend a special time in15:40 just the temple and so he goes and an angel comes to him and tells him, you're going to have a baby boy. And15:51 he he doubted it. And I know he had prayed in the past, I'm sure they had. But he he said, what? Can't be. Too old.16:03 And so the angel said, because of your unbelief you're not gonna be able to talk for a while. So you can't say anything negative. That would be good for us, wouldn't16:15 it? If God would say, no talking now for the next 20 months. Oh brother, we would go bananas. But he said, no talking. Why? Because he didn't want any16:27 unbelief. And so Elizabeth, you know, she got pregnant with who did she get pregnant with? John. Everybody say John.16:40 But I want you to see the mileage of prayer this morning. How important it is for us not to give up because there's mileage of answers that comes. It has ripple effect.16:52 That is very key for us. So what happened is Elizabeth is pregnant and then Mary comes to Elizabeth because she's pregnant with Jesus.17:04 And when she spoke to Elizabeth, John in her womb was spirit filled. Folks, that's big. Everybody say big.17:16 And did Elizabeth ever dream that the savior of the world was in the womb of Mary? Did Zacharias ever believe17:28 that? Did they believe that this child they would have that would come late in life would be the way shore for Jesus Christ? Ripple. Everybody say ripple. And so17:40 when you start praying over things and praying for people, don't give up when it looks bad because who knows what's going to come out of it. And of course, John was born and when17:52 the baby is born, God kind of eases up on Zechariah and he has his voice and he said, you know, call the baby John. So look at John, first John 518:03 15. And if we know that he hears us, whatever we ask we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of him. I want you just to stand I18:15 told you I wouldn't have you do this but I repent. I want you to stand up. Let's pray over some unsaved people in our lives because I think this grieves us the most, especially18:27 unsaved loved ones. So just pray with me. Say father, I have loved ones who are not going to heaven. This morning, I pray18:39 the Holy Spirit will woo them and draw them. I thank you today. Nobody is impossible. You got me18:51 and you can get them. In Jesus name. And everyone said, amen. You can be seated. Do you19:01 have unsaved loved ones? Do you have people in your life, in your family, in your neighborhood that need to know the Lord? We wanna pray with you that they would encounter the Holy Spirit. Please call, go on19:13 the website. We wanna pray with you for your unsaved loved ones that they would come back into the warm embrace of the father and receive the healing he has for them. 1 way that you can reach your unsaved loved ones19:25 is through today's book. This is my grandmother's book, winning the battle every day. This is an amazing book that will teach you to fight battles and it's a great resource to give to those in your life who are going19:36 through hard times. There are difficulties that we walk through every single day, but this book is an amazing resource that will help you to fight every battle. It's very practical, and make sure you call, go on the19:47 website, and get multiple copies for you and for your loved ones. We'll be right back, so make sure you don't go anywhere.19:56 Do you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or even like the20:12 and insights, this book helps you to overcome obstacles that may block your spiritual journey. For your gift of 25 dollars or more, you'll also receive Enjoy Life, a down to earth guide to finding joy in your everyday20:24 moments. The declare today CD, so you may hear life spoken over your future. And blessed to be a blessing, a dynamic booklet about living in God's abundance. And for your gift20:36 of 65 dollars or more, we'll include the Jewish prayer shawl and prayer cloth. Beautiful fabrics that can be used to envelop you in his presence. You don't have to wait for a breakthrough. God's power is20:48 available right now. Call or go online to receive your resources today.20:56 You are not alone. Jesus loves you so much. I know in my life, I've struggled with depression and I was in a depressive season where I felt like there was no 1 around me and no 1 could help me, but21:08 Jesus revealed to me that he had never left me. You are not alone, Isabelle. He said, and that 1 sentence changed my entire life. And so if you feel alone, if you've never prayed to ask Jesus to come into your heart21:20 or if you have, and you want to pray this again, I invite you to pray with me. Say, Jesus, I thank you right now for the opportunity to get to worship you, the opportunity to get to love you. I receive your love. I21:31 receive your relationship. I receive your companionship, and I wanna be in relationship with you. Jesus, would you come into my heart? Would you be Lord of my life? I submit it all to you. I submit my future. I submit my21:42 past and my present. Jesus, I love you. I chase after you. I desire you and I want you to be my best friend. We thank you and we praise you. In your name we pray, Jesus.21:54 Amen.21:56 Now, I wanna talk about this. Have you ever prayed and just given up? Yeah. Oh, well. It's just not gonna happen. I prayed for years. I22:08 believe God doesn't get better, it gets worse. So look at 0.4. This is very important for you this morning. I'm so glad you're here. It's worth22:20 coming today on this weekend. I'm glad you are here. I I got on Facebook and nagged people, please come to church. Because we get into unbelief does not22:31 mean that God will not hear. What if you said, oh well, not gonna happen. I think Zechariah and Elizabeth22:44 got into unbelief. Especially, I think he did. Because why was he so shocked when the angel showed up and spoke to him? And why did the angel say zip your lip man?22:57 Why? Because even in our unbelief God loves us. Now put your hand on your heart say I will not forget. I will not forget.23:09 Even when I have gotten into unbelief. God hears us. Now I put this scripture in because I think it's so important23:21 to say what God says. And I heard something that was so interesting to me from a medical doctor, not born again, and he handles people with23:33 strokes. And he said, you know, 1 of the key things to restoring someone's brain with a stroke is getting them to speak things out loud23:46 because what their brain begins to think and they say their brain hears it and it begins to restore their brain. What? You mean to tell me23:58 speaking God's promises can restore your brain? Could it restore your unbelief? Could it? And no wonder this scripture gets in here, whosoever shall say24:10 to this have the faith in God or the faith of God. For assuredly I say unto you whoever says to this mountain be thou removed and cast in the sea shall not doubt in his heart but believe that24:22 those things which he say shall come to pass, he shall have whatsoever he saith. Now you say yeah but you know I quit saying it so I'm24:33 gonna give you my interpretation. You say do you think yours is right? Well of course I do. I wouldn't tell you or you could say she's a liar. Throw rocks at her. Tell pastor Rhys get her24:45 out. This says have faith in God but it also can be translated have the faith of God.24:59 Could God have faith for us when we feel like we run out? Could he? I believe he could. So I'm gonna tell you this scripture. I25:11 use it every time I preach, every time I do television. And it's Galatians 2 20. I am crucified yet I live, but the life I live in the flesh I25:23 live by the faith of the son of God who loved me and gave himself for me. Why do I say that that way? Because it can be translated either25:34 way. Because Jesus does love me. Put your hand on your heart and say Jesus loves me. And because Jesus loves you, does he have faith for you? And faith and love work together?25:46 And so I see this working that Jesus, because he loves me, has faith for me. The father, because he loves me, he can have25:58 faith for me. And I can speak to the mountain because of the faith of God. I can speak to the situation and I can pray and I may think, it's the worst I've ever seen,26:10 the awful. But Lord I'll just lean on your faith. Now, judgment came on Zechariah, you know, in a sense because it kind of was put off,26:22 you know, he couldn't talk for Zechariahs. He could talk for a while, but then when the baby is born he can talk. And so I thought, God,26:35 sometimes we don't zip our lips and we say stupid things. We pray our children will get saved and then we say to somebody they're acting like thugs. I don't know if they'll ever come to the Lord.26:47 Then does God give up on us because we said the wrong thing?26:53 No. God does not give up on you. Look at the story of Peter. In John 19, he denies Jesus 3 times. But what happens next? John27:05 21, Jesus gives Peter 3 chances to redeem himself. God has redemption for you. Your decisions, your actions, your mistakes are27:17 very small blips in God's big story. His plans are much bigger than your mistakes because he's God and we are people. If you need prayer to help to27:29 walk in the redemption that God has for you, please call, please go on the website. We wanna pray with you that you would leave behind the sin and walk in the freedom that God has for27:41 you. Where the spirit of the Lord is, there is what? There is freedom, and there's freedom for you today. Call, go on the website. God has redemption and freedom, and you27:53 can walk in it today. And don't worry, you don't have to do it alone. We love to pray with you. So again, call, go on the website. Thanks so much for joining us on Today with Marilyn and Sarah. God bless28:05 you and we love you.In this video 0:00 Welcome and the Persistent Widow's Victory6:50 Overcoming Unanswered Prayer Through Persistence15:03 Faith in Unbelief: Zechariah, Speaking Life, and Redemption
