2018-11-11 A Challenging Word About Prayer
Series: A Harvest of Prayer
(Ephesians 6:18-20)
In this passage there are a total of FOUR encouragements to prayer. THREE of them are about praying for others (intercessory prayer) instead of praying for ourselves all the time. Prayer is the greatest tool Christians have for effecting change because God involves Himself in our prayers. Through intercessory prayer, we're able to challenge and defeat the hindrances, oppositions, and weaknesses that work against the Good News of Jesus Christ.

We think that if we can learn to pray a certain way, then we'll be guaranteed the answer we want when we want it. Jesus told us to "Have faith in God." Prayer isn't about getting an answer - Prayer is about experiencing a relationship with the one true God who loves you more than you can possibly imagine!
