Prayer: Thanksgiving and Praise

Published by:

In my eight part series on kinds of prayer, today we come to Thanksgiving and Praise. They are hard to separate, because when we think of how great and good God is, we are thankful.

Using this kind of prayer is a great discipline and helps us. It also allows us to enter in, as Psalm 100 says.

At the end of the track, I mention someone else’s sermon that jogged my thinking to remember how praise was a weapon. That episode should be 4 and one half, while this one should be episode 4.

At any rate, I hope you enjoy this. I certainly enjoy making these for you. Please let me hear from you?

2 Prayer: Repentance and Contrition : Bombshells

Published by:

Our second category of prayer is repentance/contrition. Oh, yes, we think we know all about it. However, we are going to drop some bombshell information. We will destroy some pretty big myths. All with face value Scripture.

This is set us free!  We will no longer be held in bondage either of sin or of wrong expectations. We will have re-opened to us access to God and merit in His eyes.

You know, this prayer series seems fundamental However, I am beginning to see how important the fundamentals are. Are we not told that the Sons of God will be led by the Spirit of God? And how then will we hear, if not by prayer? Do we not revel or at least hope in our authority in prayer?  How is it that we will wield it without thorough knowledge of kinds of prayer?

Do you remember the story about Vince Lombardi, winning-ist coach, who famously trained his winning team starting with: “Gentlemen, this is a football.” Mastery of the fundamentals wins.

Kinds of Prayer, Starting with Petition and Intercession

Published by:

So, I did a series on kinds of prayer. I have 8 categories. All the other lists I found were incomplete.

I know I typed this out,but I also know you are not seeing. And right now, neither am I.

Anyway, the first category is petition and intercession (which is petition for someone else).

It is good. You will like it. And people who are old hat with the sonship doctrine I can tell, will find this useful too.

Ever Want to Pray with More Authority?

Published by:

Today, I cover several scriptures that show our authority IN Christ.  We started out, as humans, given dominion. Then, as disciples of Jesus, we were given authority as we follow Jesus and do His assignment. Then, we see David and Isaiah’s words on our authority. Amazing! Give a listen.

Then memorize the Scripture by meditating.

Then, you will have some real “amunition” in prayer.

Next week: different kinds of prayer…. and what about that “decreeing and declaring”?

You Can Ask… the Lord… And Get an Answer

Published by:

You CAN ask.. the Lord… and get an answer. Now that is really good news. Unlike the “you can ask” I got from some woman, when it was evident both that I knew and that I could NOT ask the authorities…. who didn’t know, showed that… and thus would have been highly insecure and offended and dangerous for being “asked’!  But this, no, this is a revelation. I got it from some guy teaching Sunday school. He asked God about his walk with the Lord! How wonderful!

In so many situations, we need direction. And who can give it to us? The Lord God is the one who knows. The Lord God Holy Spirit is the one sent to teach us. Let’s ask!

HalleluJah!

What would it mean to be like Jesus?

Published by:

Very surprisingly, I have never heard or seen someone take the life of Jesus, and make a list of what he did and apply that to what maybe we should do. Wow!

What would it mean to be like Jesus? It takes a real step-up of faith to consider that we might be perfected, but we also have to  consider what Jesus was like! …. oooooh and is like! Wow!

Okay, so let’s try that.  Let’s go down the list and find out what would it mean to be like Jesus?

  1. First, he was a obedient, good child, learned the Torah, took care of his family. Check. I think the church knows this.
  2. He got baptized, answered his calling, and went to the wilderness to pray.  Okay. First, Wesley and most people who believe we might be holy believe that would be on the basis of prayer and worship. A few people are following this. One group I know of focused on obedience, submission and going to the wilderness to heighten that. Interesting. That has been done. Maybe everyone needs a wilderness experience to overcome their own personal demons.
  3. Then Jesus began his ministry, proclaiming : “Repent, for the Kingdom of God is at hand.”  There are few people willing to lead prayers of repentance. There are a few people willing to preach Kingdom.
  4. Then he went out healing the sick, cleansing the lepers, and raising the dead, doing good, releasing people from the bondage of the devil. Some of the church has a vision of this. We have a lot of work to do.
  5. Jesus went to the cross and raised again. This is not to be repeated in order to earn our salvation. We identify with Him in His death, burial and resurrection. We signify that we we are baptized. However, we should arm ourselves with that mindset. We live for others. We find that is a glorious, fulfilling life. We were meant for this.
  6. One more thing. Jesus said, “greater works than these.”  What would that be?  We are not yet to the “healed them all” yet. Jesus did that; he healed all who came to him.  So far, I don’t think we are having many meetings were everyone gets healed. People are being raised from the dead mostly in Africa, but I have heard of an instance hear.
  7.  But what would greater works be?  Kingdom fulfillment — on a wide scale.  Not just a soul here or there, but systemic salvation, love and peace. Ultimate good. Imagine that. Eden restored — or better, even grown up.
  8. We, like him, come on a colt, a foal. He will come one day as Judge on a White Horse; God will let us know. For now, we still come as suffering servants with healing in our hands, in sheepfolds, in carpenter shops, and in cesear’s household.

It is a great mystery, a great revelation.   I invite you. It makes all of life meaningful, rich, better than anything else.

Secrets of Authority in Prayer

Published by:

Every Saturday, we have a video of Kevin Zadai. The topic is how to start — and win a war on the devil. If you ever wondered how to “get ahead” in the Spirit, you will like these meetings. First tip was to pray in tongues. This can clear your neighborhood! (Meaning that demons will leave — not that people will think you are crazy. You will understand when you hear Kevin Zadai’s stories.) Just 30 minutes of video, 30 minutes of discussion and prayer, and a little time of fellowship. Start at 6:00pm in Cedar Park. Call 512-249-7629 or email PastorSharon@JesusNameAustin.org. Since we meet in a private home, we want to know who is coming.

Time to Pray, Seriously.

Published by:

As I learn more about what is going on, I see it is not just mere stupidity. It is very serious. Deception. To enslave.
Please try to rouse yourself from sleep and start really praying. Pray what? Wheels off the chariots. Church arising, filled with Holy Spirit to the max. Pray for everyone around you, your family and everyone. Pray their eyes are opened. Pray they make Jesus their Lord and their Savior.
Then, I recommend you witness to them. Other kinds of teaching, until after being born again, might be fruitless. Listen to the leading of the Lord. Use your faith to get the gift of faith, to hear well, and for salvations.
