Larry Goes To Get Prayer For His Hearing
Larry goes to the revival and listens to the preacher.
After awhile the preacher asks anyone with needs to be prayed over to come forward to the front at the altar.
Larry gets in line, and when it's his turn, the preacher asks:
"Larry, what do you want me to pray about for you?"
Larry replies: "Preacher, I need you to pray for my hearing."
The preacher puts one finger in Larry's ear, and he places the other hand on top of Larry's head and prays and prays and prays.
After a few minutes, the preacher removes his hands, stands back and asks Larry: "Larry, how is your hearing now?"
Larry says, "I don't know, Reverend, it's not until next wednesday"
Have you heard about the atheist dial-a-prayer service?
When you call no-one answers
Two guys are walking through a game park & they come across a lion that has not eaten for days.
The lion starts chasing the two men.
They run as fast as they can and the one guy starts getting tired and decides to say a prayer, "Please turn this lion into a Christian, Lord."
He than looks to see...
if the lion is still chasing them and he sees the lion on its knees.
Happy to see his prayer answered, he turns around and heads towards the lion.
As he comes closer to the lion, he hears the it saying a prayer: "Thank you Lord for the food I am about to receive."
when the family all sits down to eat dinner.
Johnny immediately starts shoveling the food down.
Johnny’s mother says ‘Johnny we need to say grace before we eat’ but Johnny continues eating.
His mother says again ‘Johnny, we always says grace before we eat.’
Johnny stops eating for a moment and says to his mother, ‘but mom, we don’t have to say our prayers.
We are at grandma’s house and she know how to cook!’
God finally answer my prayers for winning the $15 million lottery.
The answer is no.
Matthew 6:9–13 (NASB95)
“Pray, then, in this way:
‘Our Father who is in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
‘Your kingdom come.
Your will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven.
‘Give us this day our daily bread.
‘And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
‘And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever.
Amen.’
Let’s Pray
What is Prayer?
Prayer is simply talking with God
talking and listening
If God could speak to Moses just like a man speaks to his friend, before Jesus died and ressurected tearing the veil to the most Holy Place.
Now that we have forgiveness of sin and have received the gift of Holy Spirit how much more access do we have to the presence of God than Moses.
Jesus' disciples saw him perform signs and wonders.
They also took notice of how He spent time alone with the Father.
Making the connection between the two they boldly approached Him and asked Him to teach them how to pray.
Let's discover Jesus' answer to that very important questions.
Matthew 6:9–13 (NASB95)
“Pray, then, in this way:
‘Our Father who is in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
‘Your kingdom come.
Your will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven.
‘Give us this day our daily bread.
‘And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
‘And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever.
Amen.’
Effective Prayer
The effective prayer is a prayer made in private not for the ears of people but God
“Pray, then, in this way
Some believers have turned the Lord’s Prayer into something mystical as if the words themselves hold special sway with God.
For others, its statements are spoken out of habit or obligation, making it easy to daydream right through without attaching any meaning.
Which, of course, is the exact opposite of his intention for Jesus said
The effective prayer is a prayer that is meaninigful
So obviously Jesus never intended us to just keep repeating these words over and over again.
It would be like having the exact conversation with someone over and over again.
Our Father, who is in heaven
You’re talking with the one who Loves you most!
Your Daddy Abba father
Prayer is not about convincing God to do what your want.
rather refocusing what you want to realign with what God wants
Hallowed be Your name
God is far beyond anything we could explain
Our understanding is so limited.
The effective prayer is a prayer offered in humility
God is God....Its not up to Him to do our bidding
rather its up to us to conform to His desires
Thy Kingdom Come....Thy Will be done on earth as it is in heaven
What is the Kingdom?
the domain of the King
Inside a Kingdom the King rules supreme, His Will is carried out in fullness
The Effective Prayer is a prayer that lines up with the Will of God!
God desires His will is carried out on earth just like it is in heaven.
fully and completely
By Jesus telling us to pray this into reality means God wants to partner with us in bringing His will to the earth.
Is God’s will being done on the earth?
not completely
God wants His will carried out on earth as it is in heaven
In heaven God’s will is carried out in fullness
one way to know God’s will is to see if what is happening on the earth is happening in heaven.
If its on the earth, but not in heaven......Its not God’s will
If its in heaven but not on the earth....God wants to bring it to earth!
Is there abortion in heaven?
No
Then it safe to conclude God doesn’t want it on earth either!
But can we prayer out abortion?
