Laying it ALL at HIS feet

SUMMARY: Dr Bob Bakke speaks about his journey in prayer, from being a pastor to leading millions of people in prayer across the world. He shares about the Global Day of Prayer, which began in Africa and has spread across the world, with millions of people coming together in prayer. He then turns to the story of Mary anointing Jesus with expensive nard, highlighting how God had foreseen this moment before the world began and had entrusted Mary with this treasure. He challenges the audience to consider what treasures God has placed in their hands and how they can offer them up at Jesus' feet to prepare the way for God's redemption of the earth.
The story of Mary anointing Jesus' feet with expensive perfume teaches us about true prayer and surrender. Mary's act was a sacrifice of love and complete surrender, risking her entire future for just a few moments of adoration. She offended everyone in the room by taking off her head covering and wiping Jesus' feet with her hair, but her love for Christ was beyond words. This kind of adoration and surrender is where true prayer begins and can transform history. We are encouraged to join in this kind of prayer and surrender, giving whatever we have to Jesus without worrying about what others think. The angels in heaven are watching and waiting for our adoration.

Today we have a very special guest. Let’s just give a warm welcome to Dr Bob Bakke, and our English speaking brothers and sisters are going to have a good time today, because they can take their earphones off and we’re going to be translating from up here, so that’s great, and we’re so glad to have you as well, you know, just know how blessed we are to have you as part of the English speaking community here with us today. So, it’s a wonderful, wonderful blessing, so we bless you as well. Welcome, Dr Bakke.
Thank you. It’s great to be here. On the day of Pentecost God spoke a mysterious language and all the people could hear it in their own language. I don’t know Spanish like some of you know English, but I did discern that the language of the Holy Ghost this morning and I know that you are my brothers and sisters and I delight in that. Amen.
