Praying Out & For 2024

Jan 31, 2024 • Pastor Bracken Christian

PRAYER POSITIONS YOU TO RECEIVE... HEARING AND SEEING

Hab 2:1 I will stand on my guard post And station myself on the rampart; And I will keep watch to see what He will speak to me,

NKJ Eph 6:18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints

A LOT OF CHRISTIANS ARE DULL SPIRITUALY... IT’S GONNA BE HARD TO HEAR.

Eccl 10:10 If the ax is dull, And one does not sharpen the edge, Then he must use more strength; But wisdom brings success.

PRAYER SHARPENS YOUR AX... THE SHARPER THE AX, THE QUICKER THE RECOVERY.

PRAYER AND WISDOM ARE SPIRITUAL THINGS...

Eph 1:15 For this reason I too, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which exists among you and your love for all the saints, 16 do not cease giving thanks for you, while making mention of you in my prayers; 17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him. 18 I pray that the eyes of your heart (understanding) may be enlightened,

Col 1:9 For this reason also, since the day we heard of it, we have not ceased to pray for you and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,

THE PRIMARY PURPOSE FOR GODS HOUSE IS PRAYER

Isaiah 56:7 My house shall be called a house of prayer for all people

Mark 11:15 -17 My house shall be a house of prayer for all the nations.

A PRAYER LIFE THAT IS EFFECTIVE IS ONE THAT IS GETTING RESULTS.

THE WORD MAKES PRAYER EFFECTIVE.

PRAYER AFFECTS EVERYTHING! - INCLUDING ANGELS...

Psalm 103:20 Bless the LORD, you His angels, Mighty in strength, who perform His word, Obeying the voice of His word!

OUR EFFECTIVENESS IN PRAYING FOR OTHERS IS GOING TO REST LARGELY ON OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD. HOW WELL WE KNOW HIM.

Everything from hear down is previous notes I have not gotten to. You should already have...

Prov 15:29 The LORD is far from the wicked, But He hears the prayer of the righteous.

James 5:13 Is anyone among you suffering? Then he must pray. Is anyone cheerful? He is to sing praises. 14 Is anyone among you sick? Then he must call for the elders of the church and they are to pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord; 15 and the prayer offered in faith will restore the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up, and if he has committed sins, they will be forgiven him. 16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much.

PRAYER MAKES POWER AVAILABLE

PRAYER BRINGS POWER INTO MANIFESTATION

GOD HAS GIVEN US THE PRIVILEDGE AND RIGHT TO ACCESS HIS THRONE FOR HELP.

Heb 4:16 Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

FAITH AND PRAYER WILL POSITION YOU FOR THE HELP YOU NEED

ANSWERED PRAYER IS NEVER BASED ON FEELING, BUT ON FAITH.
