Letting God Love you: by Brent Rue
http://www.brentrue.com/Values%20Series.html (It’s the first two mp3’s)
This is just such a beautiful message, it just takes all the strain off
my shoulders when i listen to it from trying to please God. It really
helps me understand the way that God sees me and still loves me so
much. It revolutionized my prayer life. I went from praying a lot and
not much happening to praying more and more and everything changing and
my love for God just exploding and life becoming the funnest thing to
share with God. If I could ever recommend any one sermon to someone it
would be this message. He isn’t a blazing passionate preacher, but he
preaches a beautiful and simple message that comes out of the very core
of his life.
Holywood: Lou Engle

Haha if you ever want to get stirred to pray then listen to this
message. He starts with the story of this amazing dream a girl had
where an L falls off of Hollywood making it Holywood and goes onto
Wilson st. where they had their prayer meetings making it “Willson”.
And so for seven years they pray for the Will of the Son to be done in
Hollywood, making it Holywood. Seven years later their is a big picture
in Entertainment magazine of “Holywood” because of Passion of the
Christ coming out. And in an interview Mel says “I’ve had this dream of
making this movie for seven years”. They literally pray one of the most
powerful Christian movies in history into existence by praying into a
dream. And it just gets better and more exciting. Here are some quotes
from it
“Dreams kept Joshua and Caleb alive in the desert, they saw the promised land.”
Pray outrageous dreams
In between the vision and fulness, there is the real test.
“this I have against you that you tolerate the woman Jezebel” In our
churches and our lives we have tolerated the enemies work and allowed
him to stay as long as there is peace. God is looking to pick a fight,
He wants a battle”
God’s favourite people were wild men, How many of them were accused of being insane?
Dreams keep you alive.
“I hate playing on a losing team”
Anyways, for those to make sense you will need to listen to the
message. But I listened to it back in November and started praying huge
prayers, and really getting excited about persevering and focused
intercession. Out of my three main prayer requests I have seen one come
totally true and the other two are still coming.
This message just deeply challenged me to hold on to my dreams, to
believe God for absolutely huge things. Even the physical dreams I get
when I sleep there were about four amazing ones that I have had that I
thought God just wants to encourage me with but now I know that he
wants me to pray them through into existence. That is exciting!
God bless you guys. And let me know of any sermons that have impacted your life!
