[5]
Love fact the Lord teaches us to pray about temptation
· TOO MANY BELIEVERS don’t pray about TEMPTATION in their Lives
· We’re too PASSIVE
· TOO MANY don’t ASK to be DELIVERED from evil Daily
If the PATTERN of prayer is to request that we are not led into temptation
· That we are delivered from evil
· Then Doesn’t it stand to reason, if we DON’T pray
· Then we are more VULNERABLE to temptation
· More VULNERABLE to Evil????
Think about it, Christians . . . !!!!!!
How many want to be more vulnerable to Temptation? Evil?
* How many want children to be vulnerable to temptation? Evil?
· Achilles heal
· Close rear guard
· PATTERNS of TEMPTATION
· +Broken off lives—families—etc
· How VERBAL are you about REGULARLY praying about the temptations that come against your life?
· The evil that comes against your life?
· Place where you need to be DELIVERED from patterns of evil????
· Victim yelling ‘Fire!’ (develop)
How about those in families??
· Community
· Specific places
· We need to pray
· Deliver us from evil!!!
I believe as we fast and pray in this PATTERN
· And we lift up the area in our lives—personally—corporately—community
· I believe there is going to be a release of promise
· Release walls of protection—SEEDS of promise are gonna GROW
· We need to keep praying pattern—to protect the fruit
How many MORE excited about the Lord’s Prayer?
· Has evil had pattern over life? Family?
· SIGNET RING
SATURDAY
For Yours is the Kingdom and the Power and
the Glory Forever and Ever!! AMEN
· Worship/Adoration
Pattern of prayer—not just the words themselves
