Do you wish that your prayer life was better, more powerful, more meaningful than it is? This Sunday, Pastor Mike Reinsel continued in our second week of our series House of Prayer, Pt. 2 as he unpacked Ephesians 3:14-21.
We learned that the purpose of prayer is simply the privilege of relationship with our Heavenly Father. What would happen if we started praying big, bold prayers because we actually believed in the abundant power of God?
“For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.”
Ephesians 3:14-21
Who is the most powerful person of prayer you know?How do I become better at prayer?
1. Our place and posture of prayer matter.
Prayer isn’t a duty to be completed, but a highly privileged relationship to embrace.
With-ness
2. God’s deep desire for us is to be with Him first and to do for Him leading out from that.
“And after he had dismissed the crowds, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone.”
Matthew 14:23
In these days he went out to the mountain to pray, and all night he continued in prayer to God.”
Luke 6:12
“And rising early in the morning, while it was still dark, he departed and went out to a desolate place, and there he prayed.”
Mark 1:35
“...and great crowds gathered to hear him and be healed of their infirmities. But he would withdraw to desolate places and pray.”
Luke 5:16
“‘Be with’ God first through prayer and let our good work come out of that.”
Ephesians 6:18
Our “busy-ness” is the enemy of our “with-ness.”
God shapes us in the quiet.
3. God wants us to pray bold prayers.
Bold prayers are usually answered because we’re consistent in our time with God.
