Sermon Notes:
Lord, Teach Us To Pray -- 2
Why Prayer?
Luke 11:1
1. We all need taught to pray
2. Why, when, where, how
[Why do people not pray?]
* They think it doesn't matter
* They've tried and seemingly failed
#1 Reason = misunderstanding of God's sovereignty
"Whatever God allows, He wills"
James 4:7 Submit and resist
Gen. 3 Adam and Eve's sin
John 3:16 / II Peter 3:9 God's will concerning salvation
Matt. 6:9-10
[Reasons for Prayer]
1. Fellowship and relationship with God (Rev. 4:11)
2. Prayer changes us, circumstances and our world
3. Prayer is the avenue by which God has ordained for us to receive our provisions provided in Jesus
4. Prayer is God and man working together in the earth
I Cor. 3:9
II Cor. 6:1
5. Prayer is not man convincing God to change His will and conform to mine
6. Prayer is not me convincing god that I'm right and know what's best
7. Prayer is not a tug-of-war to see who wins
8. Prayer is God and man in partnership, releasing and establishing God's will in the earth
Ps. 89:34-37 God's Word is a covenant
Num. 23:19
Titus 1:2
Heb. 6:18
Gen. 1:26-28
* Man created in God's image
* Given dominion
* Was to subdue the earth
Ps. 8:5
Created a little lower than the angels
Crowned with glory and honor
* God gave man authority in the earth (dominion)
* Man has rulership and stewardship
Ps. 24:1 The earth is the Lord's .....
Ps. 89:11 The earth and the heavens are Thine .....
Ps. 115:16 God has ownership
Man has stewardship
Together we have partnership
Ps. 82:1-9 We are gods (little "g")
When did God say this? vs. 1
Exod. 22:9 / Gen. 1 / Ps. 8 / John 10:34
Matt. 28:18 all power is given unto Me in heaven and earth; go ye therefore.....
