God bless you. So appreciate you guys. I got to tell you, I I wish I really wish I could have a camera that’s just strapped to my uh my forehead as it were. Uh so you guys could just see how many people I meet uh by the end of the week or sometimes, you know, every every day I bump into somebody like Lisa and I did last night.

I was speaking uh last night or yesterday afternoon at Biola University in Los Angeles and um just Lisa and I bumped into three people who said um hi, “Hi, Pastor Jack. How are you? I’m with you on at 5:00 a.m.” And um it’s just so great. It’s it’s just a greeting now. It’s become a greeting.

Uh it happened at uh the airport in Ontario. It happened to the airport in Sacramento this last week. And um it’s just wonderful. So just passing 2,00 and um we’ll get started here in a second. Um it is exactly 5:00 a.m. Pacific time. So just I love this. I love uh us getting together like this and uh we’ve devoted this year to doing that.

Dedicated this year to doing that. And uh my number may be off, but I think we’re at 137 days together, calling out to the Lord in mercy and and consulting for his grace. Amen to that. Huh. So, all right. Philippians chapter 1 verse 9. Philippians 1:9 is the great verse for this morning’s prayer.

And if you’re new and joining us, what is the greatest way to pray? Here’s how you pray. You pray the Bible. You pray Bible. And when you pray Bible, and you’ll get a you’ll get a witness of it here in a second. Um it’s how we are to pray because uh John chapter 15 verse 7 tells us that if God’s word abides in us uh we may ask but we will and it shall be done unto us for hearing is my father glorified doesn’t mean that Jesus is going to give us the winning numbers to the lottery or a Ferrari this morning when you walk outside. It means that as you pray the

word of God, your heart becomes like the word of God. Your heart, your mind begins to think Bible. And when you think Bible, you pray Bible. And when you pray Bible, uh, God answers. Philippians 1 verse 9. And the scripture is this. Paul says to the church at Philippi, they were known as the Philip the Philippians.

He says to them, “And this I pray that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment again. And this I pray.” So Paul is praying for them that your love. So the key is love, right? That your love may abound. Notice this. Abound still more and more. That is that is what we read in scripture as exceedingly abundantly beyond or above.

overwhelmingly abundant love that it would grow more and more. And here’s how the logic and sensibility of God’s love in our life is like knowledgeable and with all discernment. That is just full. That is just absolutely powerful. And this I pray that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment. Boy, we need this today.
