PRAYING WITH POWERJesus Empowers Prayer
Speaker: Tim Willborn
Do we want to change the world?
Start with this question: What is prayer?
Start of the Disciples World Change Tour
| Luke 9:1-5 | Sending of the 12 |
| Mark 6:12 | What they were sent to do |
| Matthew 10:19-20 | Empowered by God |
| Luke 9:13-17 | Jesus gives them a chance to rely on God through prayer |
Lack of Prayer …Lack of Power
| Luke 9:43 | They again don’t rely |
| Mark 9:14-29 | Shows that they don’t quite get it |
Disciples World Change Tour Part 2
(Prayer & Love)
(Prayer & Love)
| Luke 10:1-24 | We pray in preparation and thanksgiving |
| Luke 10:25-42 | Closeness to God and love for others |
The disciples ask to learn
| Luke 11:1-4 | They are finally catching on |
Look this up on your own (especially if you feel stuck)
Luke 11:5-13
Luke 11:5-13
The 5 Qualifiers
- Has what I am asking for been refined in meditative, creative listening?
- If I received the request, would it enable me to grow closer to the Lord?
- Does it seek the ultimate good of all involved?
- Will it extend the kingdom of God, His reign and rule in my life and others?
- Is it something I can ask the Lord to enjoy with me?
Final quote from Ogilvie
Pg 107 – “Our work done with our strength is humanism. The Lord’s work attempted on our strength is religion. But the Lord’s work done with His power is the abundant life.”
