The Prayer Factor 2.5

If I asked you what the underlying premise of a prayer life is; it really is amazingly simple…

#2 Prayer Works!
In Jeremiah 33:3 God was having a conversation with Jeremiah, 'Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.' Do you have a few questions for God? Why don't you ask Him? He will answer you and more.

James goes on to tell us in 5:16 “Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” Prayer works when we are engaged in the promises, or laws of God. When we stand on these words of God and Follow the premise of belief, God’s word will never fail us.

 Who is the greatest example in following Gods word in prayer? Jesus!

@Jesus Life was Filled with Prayer.
Two things that stand out in Jesus prayer life are He prayed not only on Earth but continues to pray In Heaven.

On Earth: Matthew 14:23 “After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray.” Luke 5:16 “But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.”

As is in Heaven: Hebrews 7:25 “Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.” He is interceding for us right now. God has heard you all you need is to believe...next

@ We see Jesus Pattern in Prayer.
a. The Lord’s Prayer…Mathew 6:9-13…
b. The High Priestly Prayer. John 17…

In Matthew 6 in the Lord’s Prayer Jesus shows us the aspects of prayer and that prayer must have substance. In John 17 He prays for unity that our prayers must be unified in His name.

In John 17:23 he says, “I in them and you in me--so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.”
 
As we come together in unity and in prayer can God Move on our behalf. More tomorrow...
 
You are Loved!
