GREAT PRAYERS OF THE BIBLE

Presentation transcript:

“Changing Your World through the Power of Prayer” James 5:16 "Effective prayer is prayer that attains what it seeks. It is prayer that moves God, effecting its end." Charles Finney

 What is needed? Effective Prayer… needs, in every Believer, a clear: 1. Relationship – John 1:12 2. Identity – Romans 8:14 3. Knowledge of the Bible – Heb. 4:12 4. Faith – Mark 11:22 5. Patience and Persistence – Gal 5:22 6. Removal of Hindrances – Is. 59:1,2 7. Confidence – I John 5:14

 Basic Keys to Understanding Prayer  "God does nothing but by prayer, and everything with it.“ John Wesley  "Prayer requires more of the heart than the tongue." Adam Clarke  "Prayer is not getting man's will done in heaven, but getting God's will done on earth. It is not overcoming God's reluctance but laying hold of God's willingness.“ Richard C. Trench –

 Basic Keys to Understanding Prayer  Effective Prayer Aligns Our Heart with God’s.  Prayer engages us in a Partnership with God to accomplish something great.  When you are praying – you are “praying into reality your inheritance and destiny”. Eph. 1: and Eph. 2:4-10

 Our Spiritual Inheritance (Eph. 1:18) is Accessed through Prayer– Worship - Psalm 100:4 Phil. 4:6,7 Welfare – healing, provision, blessing – Lord’s Prayer Psalm 103:1-6 Warfare – Is. 54:17 Luke 10:19 II Cor. 10:3,4,5 Repentance Prayer – 2 Chronicles 7:14 Private prayer - Jesus went early in the morning alone to pray Corporate prayer - Acts 1:14

 Growing in Praying - daily  Prayer for busy lives – (1 min. to 5 min. in prayer) using A.C.T.S. or LORD’S Prayer  “Lifting a Need” - Praying till a need is lifted in prayer!  “Praying Through” - praying until you know you have prayed through and have assurance in your heart!  Intercession Prayer – Going Deeper (Hannah in I Samuel 1) (Daniel in 9:1-19)

 Where is the Holy Spirit operating in Prayer?  He is the Source of what and how to pray because he indwells us. He leads, guides and speaks to us. John 14,15,16  He Is the Source of the Power Unction (KJV) in 1 John 2:20 or Anointing in other translations Groanings in Romans 8:26

 JAMES 5:16 – “…The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.”  PRAY/ AFFIRM your relationship with God and that He is ALMIGHTY GOD. Address your Prayer: Our Heavenly Father…in the Name of Jesus…  PRAY BELIEVING WITH HOLY SPIRIT FAITH! - Believing is activated in the Heart! Start on small things and work your way up. Pray till Faith Comes!  PRAY THE WORD - Words matter! Pray the Word of God.  PRAY FOR THE REMOVAL of all hindrances usually in the heart.

 PRAY FOCUSED on one thing. Write it down.  PRAY WITH CONFIDENCE!  LIVE AND PRAY practicing HOLINESS to increase the Effectiveness of your prayer.  PRAY KNOWING JESUS / OUR HEAVENLY FATHER AND THE HOLY SPIRIT LOVE YOU… AND WANT TO ANSWER PRAYER!  This is the Confidence we have! I John 5:14

 First: Address your prayer to your Heavenly Father… in the Name of Jesus  Second: Prayer Confessing/ Repenting/ and receive forgiveness/ cleansing…I John 1:9  Third: Target - One thing or person to pray for. Check to see if you have Faith for it; if not yet ask Jesus to help you come to Faith for that prayer need.  Fourth: Focus - Now focus your prayer on that one need and pray for one minute. Settle it in your heart as done!
