Teach Me How To Pray!

2 Corinthians 5:8–10 “We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord. So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.”

1. Work of Faith: Comes spontaneously, not forced!

a. A practical act not a risk! If not grounded in the word, only your heart only then does it become a risk, because there is nothing in your heart for HS to work with; your heart is empty.

-Meditate on His Word: means a visit from God! Receive His word in your heart.

a. Faith: To believe; believing in the FINISHED WORK of JESUS CHRIST!

b. Comes spontaneously! Not by force!

c. Finished work: The past work that has been completed!

2. HS intcerceeds: Rom 8:26,Romans 8:27 “And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.”

-We dont need to pray in our own conscienceness...HS interceeds on our behalf

3. Act of faith: Putting an absolute stop to your own act, way, wisdom, thinking!

-Act of self surrenderance! We dont need to struggle to believe.

Gods love , widom and power!
