PRESS means to apply force. When God said press, prayer reaches every single situation. He gave us permission to apply force to every situation that we will go through. And in this podcast, we are going to learn to apply force to what's applying pressure to us.

Greetings, everyone, and welcome to the press podcast. So glad that you chose to join us today. I am here with Kayden O'Kelly. Say hey, Kayden. Hey, she is one of the press club leaders in our high school press clubs. And so first, I'd just like you to tell us a little bit about yourself, Kayden. And how old you are? You don't have to name your school because we don't know who's listening. 

My name is Kate, and of course, I've been saved for a while since like third grade. I've been going to this church for a while, learned a lot from this, and I like to do crafts just to think I like to do. 

Yeah, she's very artistic, which is really cool. You and your sister and another young lady started Press Club at your school. Could you tell us a little bit about why and how that's going? 

It's going really well, and I would say why is because a lot of my friends I wanted to introduce them to God and also people at our school They don't have a lot of people to tell them about God and there's not a lot of examples So I wanted to be the first person all of us wanted to do it together To just share about God to other people that never heard of him

And I love that and they are doing an amazing job. But today, Caden is here because she's going to lead us through our next prayer.

If you have been listening to this podcast, you know that we are taking a journey through every prayer in the Bible and studying the whole Bible with that journey. And so Caden has taken on the task voluntarily kind of leading us in our next prayer. So can you tell us where we're going with this story and just take it from here, Caden? 

Okay so my story is Asa for victory and I'm gonna be talking about his father and the son also. So the first story is Asa's father which is Abijah and they kind of both went through the same thing but Asa was like more wise. But a backstory on Asa's father, Abijah, he became a king of course and he had to battle against Zerabim. And Zerabim, the reason why they had a battle is because of the idols there. So they didn't like that. So what Abijah did was they had to create a war. But what made the difference between Zerabim and Abijah, Abijah went to God and that's why they won the battle because he went to God first and told God what was happening.

For the next scripture is 2 Chronicles 14 and I just talked about 2 Chronicles 13. So the chapter that I'll be talking about now is 2 Chronicles 14 which is Asa. And Asa, he was really obedient to God. He listened to God really well and what Asa did was tuck down every idol and every high place where he ruled and that's what gave him rest in the kingdom that he had ruled over. So he was really obedient to God and he listened to God. So that's really why God gave him rest in the kingdom that he worked in.

So the next thing that happened was that he had to go against the Zerab, the Ethiopian. And what happened was Asa, he was really smart and he went to God with this prayer which was in 2 Chronicles 14 and 11 and I'll read it. And Asa cried unto the Lord, his God, and said, Lord, it is nothing with thee to help whether with many or with them that have no power. Help us, O Lord, our God, for we rest on thee and in thy name we go against the multitude. O Lord, thou art our God, let not man prevail against thee. This prayer means a lot to me. I thought through it from different ways like it can be spiritually with your friends or just mind battles. The battle could be over if you go to God about it and that's what Asa did.

So the impact when Asa went to God is that he won the battle and the Lord smote the Ethiopians. So yeah.
