Christian Foundations

“To pray is to change. Prayer is the central avenue God uses to transform us.” Richard Foster "God does nothing except in response to believing prayer."  John Wesley "Prayer will make one cease from sin, or sin will entice one to cease from prayer."  John Bunyon

“Coincidences occur much more frequently when we pray.” William Temple "Prayer - secret, fervent, believing prayer - lies at the root of all personal godliness."  William Carey “The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous person makes tremendous power available.” James 5:16b

Attentiveness Matthew 14:23 - After he had dismissed them, Jesus went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. Later that night, he was there alone. Mark 1:35 - Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed.

Alignment Confessing sin and the Word "If you want…power in prayer, you must remain in…abiding union with the Lord Jesus Christ." – C. H. Spurgeon

Assignment “How I would love to see you…commune with God, through the things He has created. Your soul longs for it, and you will never be thoroughly happy until you do this.”

Appeal Abraham and Moses Petition & Intercession Romans 8:26-28

Abandonment

Declaration: “I will be attentive to the Spirit of God, aligning myself with Christ. By grace, I will discern prayer assignments and then make my appeal—my intercessions—before God. I will then enter into rest, abandoning or surrendering all into the Lord’s hands. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
