Prayer: Kingdom Foundation
How Do We Get Started?
1. Recognizing God’s Invitation to Work (God is at Always at Work Around You)
17 In his defense Jesus said to them, “My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I too am working.” ~ John 5:17 NIV
2. Prayer as the Foundation (The Power of Prayer)
16 Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. ~ James 5:16 NIV
How the Battle is Won: Connecting the Spiritual and the Natural
3. Faith-Filled Prayer and Obedience (Surrender to God’s Will)
14 This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. 15 And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him. ~ 1 John 5:14-15 NIV
4. Spiritual Warfare Through Prayer (Persistent Prayer Wins the Battle)
3 For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. 4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. 5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. ~ 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 NIV
12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. ~ Ephesians 6:12 NIV
