After my prayer request, then that we are a power praying group
An Inventory Of Our Prayer Life
EPHESIANS 3:14-21
INTRODUCTIOB.
We want to find out where we are in prayer. We can take an inventory by looking at one of Paul's prayers.
1 WHY AM I PRAYING ? (V.14)
Note the reason for Paul's prayer by going back to Chapter Two. Paul is saying that our prayers should ultimately be for the building of the Chruch ( God's body here on earth). Note some motives for prayer.
A. DUTY- prayer should never become a chore or a burden
B. SOMEONE ASK US TO - We are called upon to pray.
C. GUILT
D. WE WANT TO GET SOMETHING
E. FEAR
F. EMERGENCY-"LORD, SAVE ME."
G. TROUBLE
H. TO BE SEEN AND HEARD OF MEN.
2 HOW AM I PRAYING?
A. I AM PRAYING AS A SON BEFORE MY FATHER
B. PRAYING NOT TO GET MAN'S WILL IN HEAVEN BUT TO GET GOD'S WILL DONE ON EARTH
C. PRAYING AS A MEMBER OF THE WHOLE FAMILY OF GOD.
3 FOR WHAT AM I PRAYING
A. SPIRITUAL STRENGTH (V.16)
B. SPIRITUAL DEPTH (V.17)
C. SPIRITUAL APPROPRIATION (V.1
D SPIRITUAL FULLNESS (V,19)
4. AM I WILLING TO BE A PART OF THE ANSWER? (V.21)
Think about where God starts to answer prayer. If I am not willing to be a part of the answer. That is hypocrisy. Sometimes we think prayer is a substitute for doing or going or giving.
As a result of this message. I plan to inventory my own prayer lifE
I hope you enjoyed this message that our Chruch had today.
