Nancy DeMoss WolgemuthSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
When we come to the first chapter of the book of Acts, we find the believers in Jesus, about 120 of them, gathered in an upper room after Jesus has died and been resurrected and ascended back into heaven.
Nancy DeMoss WolgemuthSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
These believers are now gathered together in a prayer meeting, a prayer meeting that became the birthing room for the early church.
Nancy DeMoss WolgemuthSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And the scripture tells us that the believers joined together constantly in prayer.
Nancy DeMoss WolgemuthSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I'm in Acts chapter 1, verse 14.
Nancy DeMoss WolgemuthSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And then Luke gives us this little detail that I think is so significant.
Nancy DeMoss WolgemuthSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
The believers all joined together constantly in prayer along with the women and with Mary, the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.
Nancy DeMoss WolgemuthSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
That's significant because in the culture in which Mary lived, women would not typically have been welcome in this kind of meeting.
Nancy DeMoss WolgemuthSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
But the early church realized that it was not just men who were to pray.
Matt SmallboneGUEST
This phrase stood out to me that had been hiding in plain sight, which was the phrase that a kind of a reluctant or a not very good prayer needed to see.
Matt SmallboneGUEST
Jesus literally tells the disciples, this then is how you should pray.
Matt SmallboneGUEST
And I realized, you know what? I've never actually tried praying the Jesus way.
Jennifer RothschildHOST
You know why you're here? Because this is where thoughtful people come to grow.
Jennifer RothschildHOST
And oh, today we're talking about something good because it deals with one of our biggest struggles.
Jennifer RothschildHOST
You know what that is? prayer? I don't know about you, but I have those questions.
Jennifer RothschildHOST
Am I doing it right? Am I doing it enough? And is God even listening? You know what I'm talking about.
Jennifer RothschildHOST
In fact, I know you know, because the podcast that was titled The 413, anytime, anytime I did a podcast on prayer, it was our highest downloads.
Gregory DickowHOST
You just take authority over it, you just confront it, you do what Jesus said, spiritual warfare means praying.
Gregory DickowHOST
With prayer and Thanksgiving, Make your request known to God and the peace of God, which guards your heart.
Gregory DickowHOST
Whatever you're anxious about, take to God in prayer.
Gregory DickowHOST
That's spiritual warfare with Thanksgiving.
Gregory DickowHOST
Let your request be made known to God and the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, shall guard your heart and mind.
David OgbueliHOST
Whether it's service or congregation.
David OgbueliHOST
Prayer.
David OgbueliHOST
is a secret fire baptized meetings no matter what you pray for no matter the things you ask God for never forget that the most important thing to ask him is for his presence is for the Holy Ghost the Holy Spirit is God's answer once he is here any other thing is possible once he's withheld many things will not work now this is the pattern the minister of prayer is usually the first thing the outpouring or sometimes it's not outpouring it is fresh infilling with the spirit you just get a fresh endowment then the third one is the ministry of the word

Frank ChirwaHOST
Prayerlessness.
Frank ChirwaHOST
Prayer keeps us
Frank ChirwaHOST
dependent on God for strength, wisdom and direction.
Frank ChirwaHOST
It is prayer that becomes the anchor that holds your life.
Frank ChirwaHOST
remove prayer you open yourself up to temptation.
Frank ChirwaHOST
Anything can easily bring you down when you are not standing in the place of prayer.
Frank ChirwaHOST
Prayerlessness makes you rely on yourself, on your abilities, on what you know, on your finances.
Frank ChirwaHOST
Prayerlessness makes you set God aside.
Christopher SmithNARRATOR
In the word we read, we shall indeed hear the voice of one speaking to us.
Christopher SmithNARRATOR
The highest blessedness of prayer will be our ceasing to pray, to let God speak.
Christopher SmithNARRATOR
Prayer and the word are inseparably linked together.
Christopher SmithNARRATOR
Power in the use of either depends upon the presence of the other.
Christopher SmithNARRATOR
The word gives me matter for prayer, telling me what God will do for me.
Christopher SmithNARRATOR
And so, on the other hand, prayer prepares the heart for receiving the word from God himself, for the teaching of the Spirit to give the spiritual understanding of it, for the faith that is made partaker of its mighty working.
Christopher SmithNARRATOR
It is clear why this is so.
Christopher SmithNARRATOR
Prayer and the word have one common center, God.
Rosa AlejandroHOST
That is our God." He takes care of us.
Rosa AlejandroHOST
But are we desperate? Are we truly desperate in our prayers? How desperate are your prayers to God? My sister, I wanna ask you this question because this really says a lot about where we are with God.
Rosa AlejandroHOST
This says a lot about our attitude towards God, how we see ourselves, how we see God.
Rosa AlejandroHOST
And I, I wanna just kind of sit here for a moment and talk about this attitude of our hearts in those times where we're trying to ask God for something, and yet somehow we're still not at peace.
Rosa AlejandroHOST
Somehow we have doubts still.
Rosa AlejandroHOST
Not that this is not normal, because there are times where faith is more difficult to have.
Rosa AlejandroHOST
But I mean when we have a certain type of heart, and I'm gonna talk about this today in this episode about desperate prayers, but the heart attitude, right? The heart that we should have, really, to be able to have truly these prayers of desperation where we know that our only resort is God.
Rosa AlejandroHOST
So today, I'm going to be highlighting two books that I've read.
Dwight BaltzellGUEST
Whether it's fancy or not, if it's from the heart, God answers prayer.
Dwight BaltzellGUEST
They didn't realize prayer was there.
Dwight BaltzellGUEST
Prayer was there.
Dwight BaltzellGUEST
Prayer's there for you, for me.
Dwight BaltzellGUEST
Those we're praying for that aren't saved, prayer's there for them.
Dwight BaltzellGUEST
We pray they just reach out and take it.
Dwight BaltzellGUEST
All we have to do is use it.
Dwight BaltzellGUEST
Whatever the emotions are at the moment has nothing to do with it.
Rachel WojoHOST
You may or may not be able to trace God's footprints.
Rachel WojoHOST
In day 33 of Praying Through Life's Battles, the title of the devotion is The Way God Moves for You.
Rachel WojoHOST
And God moves for you in ways that you may not see the shape of it.
Rachel WojoHOST
It kind of reframes for us what prayer is for in a season like this.
Rachel WojoHOST
And that not seeing is not the same thing as nothing happening.
Rachel WojoHOST
That's sort of the question we started with.
Rachel WojoHOST
Why do bad things happen to good people? And that harder question that sits underneath it, how do I pray when I may never know why? That is the reason I wrote Praying Through Life's Battles the way that I did.
Rachel WojoHOST
It's not a book that pretends to explain your pain.
MikeHOST
We can ask for wisdom the moment we need it.
MikeHOST
Prayer should become as natural to the Christian as breathing.
MikeHOST
Then Paul says, in everything give thanks.
MikeHOST
Notice he does not necessarily say give thanks for everything.
