Praying The Word Filled Life
WFL-22 030713AM Matthew 18:19 “Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. Matthew 21:22 And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.” Luke 11:9 “So I say to you, ask, and it will be given […]
The Discipline of Mediation
WFL-18 030601AM I mean, think about it – they lived with minimal revelation, difficult communication, continual temptation, and conditional Spirit fullness. The Scriptures: they were kept in that old, black goat hair covered Tabernacle Tent far from most people. The Fellowship: there were no churches to choose from to get a good message from God’s […]
The Discipline of Simplicity
WFL-17 030525AM All of these may be indicators of the lack of Biblical Simplicity. Simplicity means something that is simple, easy to grasp and do, non-complex. Biblical Simplicity is reordering our priorities back to what God has asked us to do. Listen to what one gifted writer has written – “When[1] we stop […]

Slipping Away to Spend Time Alone with God
WFL-15 030504AM Please turn to Mark 1.21. Life was full on that Saturday in Capernaum. Mark 1:21-34 was just ONE DAY! Jesus had gone from morning to night giving of Himself to all who came to Him. And how they had come, on donkeys, in carts, carried by family, surrounded by crowds, multitudes had flocked […]
Roadblocks To Answered Prayers
WFL-14 030427AM And this morning, one person has more to say about Christ’s praying than any other. One person, more than any other in God’s Word, was an eyewitness to Christ’s praying – his name is Peter. Peter was the leader of the disciples, the chief of the Apostles, and the man out front at […]
What Stops My Prayers?
WFL-13 030406AM To answer that and to learn what may be the greatest lesson of our spiritual lives, let me talk about prayers that are answered. How much money would $111,600,000 be to you? I would assume it is a huge sum to any of us? Perhaps the most remarkable testimony of modern […]
When Prayers Don’t Go Through
WFL-12 030330AM No one ever said as much about prayer as Jesus. And, no one can impact our lives more to pray and be heard by our Father in Heaven — than Jesus. No one else but Jesus can put through our prayers to be heard by our Father in Heaven. Jesus is the […]
With Jesus in the School of Prayer
WFL-11 030316AM And if you read Hebrews carefully — Jesus is still praying. That is an awfully great emphasis on prayer if we stop to notice it! Jesus prayed no matter what was ahead or behind Him. He lived in a whirlwind of activity. He was constantly eating, walking, talking, and sleeping with twelve […]

The Destroyer From The Pit, Hezekiah, Assyrians, Prayer, & God

Prayer – Hezekiah, Assyria & The Destroyer From The Pit
The Destroyer From The Pit 191107AM 19-Isaiah-08 God Had Other Plans: The strategic location of the land would create special pressures. You might call it, “God’s testing ground of faith.” In this land, there was much pressure and many tests. But, through these tests, with all odds against the Israelites, God showed forth His miracle […]
Concert of Prayer: Learning How to Come Boldly to the Throne of Grace & Mercy
Prayer is:
1). The way that God has decided He will work IN us; and
2). The way that God has decided He will work THROUGH us.
Prayer: The Way God Works
IN and THROUGH Us
Let me repeat that:
• First, Prayer is the way God transforms us into what He wants us to be like. We read, study, memorize and then ask Him in prayer and He transforms us.
Learning How to Pray: The Tabernacle Portrays the Pathway of Prayer that God Left for Us to Follow
The tabernacle, which God instructed Moses to construct, is a powerful lesson to guide us in our pursuit of deepening our fellowship with the Lord.
ENTERING
THE PRESENCE OF GOD
This is a journey into the presence of God. We enter God’s presence by way of His Tabernacle, God’s tent of Meeting. As we examine this incredible structure, we will see how every point of the God’s Tabernacle points to Jesus.
Seven Keys to the Heart of God
Prayer is a journey into the presence of God. We enter God’s presence by way of His Tabernacle, God’s tent of Meeting. Every point of the God’s Tabernacle points to Christ.
The first and primary lesson we learned about the Tabernacle was where God placed it. In the center of the Camp, with smoke slowly rising from the altar and with the Twelve Tribes in an ordered arrangement around it around. Looking intently we would note a long, black, unattractive tent of porpoise skins.

Discovering How to Hold God’s Hand Through Prayer
First, We Magnify His Name
Migrate into a group small enough to make a circle and be able to hear each other praying, reading, and sharing. Then, using this sheet go around and pick any of these names of God and say them aloud as a personal declaration, like this: “God You are Elohim, My Creator”.
Learning How To Pray Through Life For Those You Love
As we open to I Thessalonians 5, there is one tool God left us above all others that is ours alone to use. We are not forced, we are not obligated, we are just offered the single greatest source of unleashing spiritual power through our lives.
And what is that tool we can take or leave each day? It is the tool that keeps us connected to God, His Word, His plan, His power, and His Presence—the choice we make to talk to Him in prayer!
How to Pray for Those We Love Part 2 – Praying for Integrity in Their Personal Lives
The Book of Job is perhaps the oldest book in the world. It is also perhaps the clearest view into the spirit world, the spiritual side of parenting and the cosmic proportion of conflicts we face as we parent and lead as dads. Look at Job 1:5:
Praying from the Pits
COR-18 050904PM The last two steps in the pathway out of the pits of life are prayer and praise. Psalm 40 shows us that praying and praising gets us through the pits. In fact if we back up through all we have seen so far—it all makes so much sense. When we pray we can […]

Give us This Day Our Daily Bread – Learning How To Invite God To Supply Me Through Life
“Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread”: Learning How to Invite God to “Supply Me” Through Life Matthew 6:11 As we open to Matthew 6:11 in the Lord’s Prayer, we arrive at the central element of these petitions. This fourth of seven petitions, is our shared confession of our need for God to sustain our lives. Simply put, asking God to give us the bread we need for today is us saying: WE NEED TO BE SUPPLIED BY GOD Everything is so fragile around us.
The Habit Of Prayer – Connecting With God
Habit of Prayer .docx The Habit of Prayer: Connecting with God Matthew 6:9-13 Today we are looking at the truths of the Gospel that Jesus taught to His disciples and then asked them to go everywhere and teach everyone that becomes a follower of Christ.
Why Should We Be Praying Every Day For God To Deliver Us And Every Believer We Know From The Evil One
Jesus framed the contrast between His plans and Satan’s plans.
Jesus said that each day we live, we face a life or death situation.
John 10:10 (NKJV) The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
We’ve Said it All Our Life, but What Does it Mean to Ask God to “Lead Us Not…”
In Matthew 6:13 we open to the sixth petition of the Lord’s Prayer. This part of the prayer model Christ Jesus left us sometimes puzzling. It is something we have said all our life, and perhaps puzzled over from time to time.
We All Know What Temptation Means. Right?
Daily Cleansing – The Abundant Life Vs. The Tormented Life
As we open to Matthew 6, we have come to the fifth petition of the Lord’s Prayer in v. 12. This petition is all about the constant need we have for cleansing. This next area we are to maintain in our spiritual lives is all part of:
Christ’s Checklist for Daily Spiritual Health
Simply stated, the Lord’s Prayer is a pattern for us, a check list for our daily spiritual health.
Unleashing the Lord’s Prayer into Changing My Life Today
Jesus summarized the seven key areas each of us who follow Him should pay close attention to each day. Please open to that summary Jesus Himself gave to us in Matthew 6:9-13. This passage is what we commonly know in the English-speaking world as the Lord’s Prayer.
To help us focus on the text of our study today please stand and quote these words with me as we invite God through His Word to speak powerfully into our hearts, minds, and lives today.
When God Finally Answers Generations of Prayers for Justice
Unanswered prayers: what happens to them? As we open to Rev. 5, we find the answer to one of the great mysteries of God’s Word: Where do all our prayers go? After we prayed them, God heard them, and then what?
What Happens to
All Our Prayers
Do prayers become like deleted emails? Does God get them, see them on His screen, read them; and then just hits the trash button, and poof, they are gone?
No, that is never the image God wants in our minds.
Praying For A Godly Marriage Partner
God loves things to be according to His specifications. He likes us to follow the code He has established in His Word. When Moses went up the mountain in Exodus 24:18-25:40, God showed him the detailed plans for the Tabernacle, the most written about physical building in the Universe. More chapters are devoted to the detailed descriptions of this building than any other in the Bible. God spent more time on the Tabernacle than He does on the Creation of the Cosmos, the Flood and even the last week of Christ’s life.
The Tabernacle was so important to God that He wanted it built and operated just right. God wanted His Glory and plan to be reflected by everything done in that tent. The same is true in another temple He has built.
The Power of Praying Together
As the summer winds down, and we stand before the freshness of a new start this fall. Have you pondered what would be the best investment of your spiritual capital in the fall of 2009? In other words, where are you going to focus your time in pursuit of Christ Jesus the remaining months of this year?
To help you with that choice listen to the incredible challenge Paul lays out in Ephesians 6:18
Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints
Paul says that we as believers are to have the priority of prayer in our lives. Prayer should be our first choice, the first option, our first pick when we have a chance to pick an activity.
Praying Through Life For Those You Love
As we open to I Thessalonians 5, there is one tool God left us above all others that is ours alone to use. We are not forced, we are not obligated, we are just offered the single greatest source of unleashing spiritual power through our lives.
And what is that tool we can take or leave each day? It is the tool that keeps us connected to God, His Word, His plan, His power, and His Presence—the choice we make to talk to Him in prayer!
Prayer is how we can open our lives to God’s plan and then be used by Him to penetrate the lives of our marriage partner, our children, and our dearest friends with God’s truth.
