Prayer puts us in the middle of what God is doing in the earth.
2 Corinthians 2:14-15 NKJV Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place. For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing.
Luke 11:1-4 NKJV Lord, teach us to pray.
Matthew 6:9-13 NKJV In this manner.
James 5:16 NKJV Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
- Remain
- In relationship
- In the Spirit
- Kingdom Oriented
- Attentive to His heart
- A willing vessel
- In relationship “Our Father in Heaven”
Galatians 4:6 NKJV And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!”
- In the Spirit “Hallowed be Thy Name”
Romans 8:5-6 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
- Kingdom oriented “Thy Kingdom Come”
Luke 12:31-32 “But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you. Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.”
- Attentive to His heart “Thy will be done”
Psalm 25:14 NKJV The secret of the Lord is with those who fear Him, And He will show them His covenant.
- A willing vessel “On earth as it is in heaven”
2 Corinthians 4:7 NKJV But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us.
When prayer becomes more about the Father and less about you, that is when your prayer life gets exciting.
2. Receive
- Give us
Lamentations 3:24 NKJV “The LORD is my portion,” says my soul, “Therefore I hope in Him!”
- Forgive us
2 Corinthians 5: 17-19 NKJV “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself…”
- Lead us
Proverbs 3:5-6 NKJV Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.
- Deliver us
Ephesians 6:12 NKJV “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.”
