Lesson

6Prayer,The Divine PrivilegeA

Spiritual

Connection

“Let us… come boldly unto the throne of grace…” Hebrews 4:16Slide3

What is prayer?

Prayer is talking to God. Open and honest verbal expression is necessary for any relationship to develop. Likewise, sharing hopes, dreams, and despair will strengthen your spiritual relationship with God.Slide4

God is ever present and attentive.

Can you imagine the privilege of unlimited access to a powerful political leader? Human beings possess a greater honor.Slide5

God is ever present and attentive.

Almighty God, the creator of the universe, is always available to humanity through prayer. Psalm 94:9 tells us… “He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?”Slide6

God is ever present and attentive.

“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help.” (Psalm 46:1)Slide7

Multi-dimensional prayer deepens your spiritual relationship.

Prayer is intended to be more than a mundane ritual. “…use not vain repetitions…” Matthew 6:7Slide8

Multi-dimensional prayer deepens your spiritual relationship.

Various levels of communication are necessary for intimate relationships to retain their passion.Slide9

Basic Level: Child to the father

People often feel that God is too busy to be bothered except in an emergency. On the contrary, He has plans to meet your every need.He is waiting to be asked.Slide10

Basic Level: Child to the father

Ephesians 3:20 talks about: “…him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think…” John 14:14 tells us that: “If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.”Slide11

Secondary Level: Friend to friend

This level of prayer communicates to God that you are interested in more than a “BLESS ME” relationship.Slide12

Secondary Level: Friend to friend

It conveys your sincere desire to really know Him. “…the Lord spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh to his friend.” Exodus 33:11Slide13

Advanced Level: One with the father

Through this selfless prayer, it is possible to lose personal identity as you take on the nature of Christ.Slide14

Advanced Level: One with the father

Self-seeking desires are surrendered to the will of the Spirit. “…not my will, but thine, be done. …being in an agony he prayed more earnestly…” Luke 22:41-44Slide15

Advanced Level: One with the father

Jesus became the intercessor between the Father and lost humanity. Likewise, when a person intercedes in prayer, they submit a passionate plea in someone’s behalf. Slide16

Advanced Level: One with the father

A go-between becomes an advocate making the case to God for another. “… O that one might plead for a man with God, as a man pleadeth for his neighbor!” Job 16:21Slide17

What will increase the effectiveness of prayer?

Pray in the Spirit “…we know not what we should … but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with

groanings

…”

Romans 8:26Slide18

What will increase the effectiveness of prayer?

Pray in the Spirit “…I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also:” 1st Corinthians 14:15Slide19

What will increase the effectiveness of prayer?

Pray with faith: God is able to meet all needs, around the world, simultaneously.Slide20

What will increase the effectiveness of prayer?

Pray with faith: “Do not I fill heaven and earth?

Saith

the LORD.”

Jeremiah 23:24Slide21

What will increase the effectiveness of prayer?

Pray with faith: “…all things…ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.” Matthew 21:22Slide22

What will increase the effectiveness of prayer?

Pray with desperation: “I cried unto God with my voice… and he gave ear unto me.” Psalm 77:1Slide23

Desperation does not seek the approval of others.

“…blind Bartimaeus, … sat by the highway side begging. And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me.And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me. And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called.” Mark 10:46-52 & Luke 18:35-43Slide24

Desperation does not allow barriers to hinder its pursuit

The woman with the issue of blood crawled through a crowd to get to Jesus. Mark 5:25-34Slide25

Desperate prayers may cause a person to act out of character

“And Hannah answered and said, No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit: I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but have poured out my soul before the LORD.” 1st Samuel 1:15Slide26
