Being with God

Life is about Knowing and walking with God -
Being with God - reading bible and praying
look at 3 principles
Principles of Prayer
Relational not religious
vs 9 - “Our Father” - shocking at the time
relationship is about perfromance
Abba - if earthly father is hard
Principles of Prayer
Be yourself - don’t try to fake it - vs 10-12
We don’t disappoint God - unmet expectations
He knows about it
Romans 5:8 CSB
But God proves his own love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Principles of Prayer
We do not take God by surprise
Be real
1 Peter 5:5 CSB
In the same way, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. All of you clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble.
Principles of Prayer
humility = honesty
Share it all - joys and frustrations
Principles of Prayer
Invite Him into everything
We cannot compartmentalize
Prayer needs to become an everyday, all the time, everywhere thing
1 Thessalonians
Don’t walk around with head bowed eyes closed
Posture of your body not as important as the posture of your heart
Pray when driving, with family (not just at meals), etc.
Some “I know all this” - are you doing it
Prayer is our most powerful tool
When the devil sees a man or woman who really believes in prayer, who knows how to pray, and who really does pray, and, above all, when he sees a whole church on its face before God in prayer, he trembles as much as he ever did, for he knows that his day in that church or community is at an end.
R.A. Torrey

The Church that Prays Changes the World
