Prayer

Prayer Is:

1. The language of the poor & needy (Psalm 86:1 & Psalm 34:6).
2. Desperate prayer: less self-confidence, more God-confidence (1 Samuel 1:11 & 2 Corinthians 12:7-10).
3. Praying in secret (Matthew 6:5-6)...You can't show off in private before God!
4. Praying corporately & in public (genuine prayer) (Acts 4:31).
5. Abiding in Christ (John 15:7), asking of Christ the things that really belong to us: power, wisdom, & guidance.
6. Asking big things of God & expecting big things of Him (John 14:9-14).

The Conditions of Prayer:

1. It must be insistent, consistent and persistent. (Luke 11:5-13)
2. Our lives govern our prayers and God is listening to our prayers. (1 Peter 4:7)
3. If we regard or have sin in our lives, God will not hear us. (Psalm 66:18)
4. We must make our requests known in Jesus' Name! (John 14:14).
5. We must ask our prayers to be in accordance God's Will & to bring glory to His Name. (John 14:13 & John 15:8).
6. We must ask & not doubt (James 1:6).
7. Pray in the language and structure that the Scriptures give us, particularly in The Psalms (Bulked-Up Prayer Life).
