Today is June 1st aka the start of Pride Month. The Pentagon forced an Air Force base in Nevada to cancel a drag show. Target continues to get boycotted & it doesn’t look like it’s ending. Also, North Korea was under attack for 20 minutes?! GUEST: BRYAN CALLEN.
Today on the Matt Walsh Show, it was an epic battle for free speech at
Twitter, as we posted our film What Is a Woman and got immediately
tagged with the "hate speech" label. But in the end, the left's attempts
to yet again censor and suppress our message only backfired in a big
way. We'll talk about everything that has happened in the one of the
most wild 24 hour stretches in the history of the Daily Wire. Also,
Glamour Magazine has an interview with a pregnant man -- who is not
actually a man at all. And Joe Biden tries to walk across a flat surface
and falls on his face. What does it say about America that we have a
senile dementia patient who can't speak or walk in the White House?
Complete obedience is possible only through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Right away in the first chapter of the book of Daniel, we learn that the young man is committed to obedience. Scripture says Daniel “made up his mind” and successfully followed through. But any Christian could tell you obedience isn’t simple or easy.
Obedience means doing what God says in the timing and manner He says to do it. In order to obey, we must know what pleases the Lord—and that requires us to read and be familiar with Scripture. Then we trust the Holy Spirit to help us understand God’s Word and to guide us. That’s usually when challenges arise.
There are often temptations to choose other directions or to compromise by taking small steps of half-obedience. And none of us is perfect, so there will be times when we miss the mark (Romans 3:23). Then, what’s important is that we turn to God. At such times, we can use King David as a guide and pray, “Create in me a clean heart, God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me” (Psalm 51:10). And remember that ultimately, the goal of obedience is to remain near to God, no matter how many mistakes we make.

Yesterday we studied how King Jehoshaphat prayed. Today let’s take a look at the people he prayed with.
Trouble loomed—Judah’s army paled in comparison to the forces united against them. Jehoshaphat, recognizing his limitations, knew it was essential to call on God for help. So he reached out to his nation, and prayer support came from all across the land (2 Chron. 20:13).
Sometimes we’re too proud to ask others to pray with us. When that happens, it’s wise to consider Jehoshaphat’s example: Though a king who reigned over his subjects, he nevertheless called on them to join him in seeking divine intervention. Then, when the people of Judah began to pray, God provided His solution through a prophet—and Jehoshaphat had enough humility to listen and follow instructions (vv. 14-21). As a result, his people were saved. The advancing armies turned against each other and destroyed themselves completely. But Judah’s forces suffered zero casualties—all without shooting an arrow or drawing a sword. Their humble king had listened, and they witnessed the Lord’s remarkable victory (vv. 22-30).
God sometimes says things we’re not expecting to hear. But our life in Christ is most rewarding when the body of Christ listens to Him and cooperates with one another.

Taking time to praise the King of Kings will change how you bring your petitions to Him.

Modern-day Christians can learn a lot from prayers recorded in the Old Testament. Many women and men who prayed in the Bible witnessed firsthand God’s wonder-working power—and that power is still available to us today.
Let’s take a look at Jehoshaphat. His prayer for help not only asked the Lord to meet his needs but also proclaimed God’s greatness. By praying, “Power and might are in Your hand so that no one can stand against You” (2 Chron. 20:6), Jehoshaphat was praising God and at the same time reminding himself of the Lord’s greatness.
Likewise, our requests should be made with recognition of who God is. While crying out to God about his terrible predicament, Jehoshaphat also exalted the Lord for His attributes and acknowledged the great things He had done previously. That’s why knowing the Word of God is so important. Reading about how He has worked in the lives of others helps us grasp the immensity of His might.
Do you want to revolutionize your prayer life? When you talk to God, recall His mercy, grace, and awesome power. Focus as much attention on Him as you do on your requests, and your relationship with the Father will be transformed.
