The kind of prayer God hears!

HAVE YOU EVER SHARED A STORY WITH SOMEONE

AND AFTERWARD YOU REALIZED...

THEY DIDN’T LISTEN TO ANYTHING YOU JUST SAID? LOL

LIKE YOU CAN BE POURING YOUR HEART OUT

AND SHARING SOMETHING IMPORTANT

AND YOU ASK THEM WHAT THEY THINK......

AND THE RESPONSE YOU GET IS.....HUH?

OR.... “I’M SORRY WERE YOU TALKING TO ME”

MY WIFE IS SAYING....

YEAH BABE THAT’S YOU EVERYDAY.....LOL

IF WE’RE HONEST...

I THINK SOMETIMES WE FEEL LIKE GOD RESPONDS THIS WAY

LIKE YOU START TO SAY...

“GOD DO YOU EVEN HEAR WHAT I’M SAYING”

“ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO MY PRAYERS RIGHT NOW”

I WANT TO SHOW YOU TODAY...

A CERTAIN KIND OF PRAYER THAT MAKES IT TO HEAVEN

THERE IS A CERTAIN PRAYER THAT GOD WILL ALWAYS HEAR

AND WE SEE THIS IN THE BIBLE.....

PARTICULARLY IN THE LIFE OF JESUS WHO IS OUR MODEL...

WE ARE GONNA SEE THE KIND OF PRAYER THAT GOD HEARS

Hebrews 5:7 CSB

7 During his earthly life, he offered prayers and appeals with loud cries and tears to the one who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverence.

.......OPEN IN PRAYER......

I WANT TO GIVE YOU 3 INSIGHTS INTO....

THE KIND OF PRAYER LIFE THAT JESUS HAD

IN ORDER, I BELIEVE, FOR OUR PRAYERS TO BE HEARD BY GOD.

WE MUST PRAY CONSISTENTLY

NOW THE TEXT WE JUST READ SAYS..

DURING HIS EARTHLY LIFE

OR DURING HIS FLESHLY EXISTENCE

WHAT THE WRITER IS TALKING ABOUT IS JESUS’ HUMANITY...

NOW…WE KNOW THIS....

JESUS IS ALL MAN

AND HE IS ALL GOD

AT THE SAME TIME

SO JESUS WAS…ALL DIVINITY AND ALL HUMANITY....

HOWEVER…IN HIS HUMANITY, I BELIEVE AND THE BIBLE TEACHES

THAT GOD REVEALED TO HIM WHAT HE WANTED HIM TO DO THROUGHOUT HIS EARTHLY LIFE.

WHAT THIS MEANS IS....

JESUS DIDN’T WALK AROUND FLEXING HIS GOD MUSCLES TO THE WORLD

INSTEAD, JESUS RESPONDED TO WHAT GOD DIRECTED HIM TO DO...

NOW I KNOW WHAT YOUR SAYING....”CAN YOU SHOW THIS TO ME IN THE BIBLE”

I’M SO GLAD YOU ASKED…LOL

John 5:19–20 CSB

19 Jesus replied, “Truly I tell you, the Son is not able to do anything on his own, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father does, the Son likewise does these things. 20 For the Father loves the Son and shows him everything he is doing, and he will show him greater works than these so that you will be amazed.

I THINK WHAT THIS MEANS IS..

GOD HAD A ROAD MAP SO TO SPEAK OF EVERYTHING HE WANTED JESUS TO ACCOMPLISH ON THIS EARTH

AND ALTHOUGH JESUS WAS GOD...

HE DID NOT USE HIS DIVINITY TO HIS ADVANTAGE

NOW…PAUL TELLS US THIS IN...

Philippians 2:6–7 (CSB)

6 who, existing in the form of God,

did not consider equality with God

as something to be exploited.

7 Instead he emptied himself

by assuming the form of a servant,

taking on the likeness of humanity.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

IT MEANS THAT....

JESUS WENT TO THE FATHER TO RECEIVE HIS MARCHING ORDERS…DAILY

HE DID NOT DO ANYTHING ON HIS OWN

THIS IS WHY I BELIEVE THAT JESUS IN HIS HUMANITY

PRAYED AS MUCH AS HE DID

IF YOU LOOK AT THE GOSPELS...

YOU WILL SEE THAT JESUS IS PRAYING ALL THE TIME

IN FACT I HAVE A FEW OF THEM LISTED FOR YOU

BUT I COULD HAVE GIVEN YOU A LOT MORE

Jesus prayed before and during His baptism (Luke 3:21)

Before choosing the disciples (Luke 6:12)

Before multiplying the bread and fish (John 6:11)

For a friend (Luke 22:31-32)

For God to raise Lazarus (John 11:41-43)

For those who would believe (John 17:1-26)

For himself in the Garden of Gethsemane (Matthew:26:36-39)

On the Cross (Luke 23:34)

Jesus prayed...

in the morning

at midday

and in the evening

HE PRAYED BY HIMSELF

HE ALSO PRAYED WITH HIS DISCIPLES

JESUS PRAYED BEFORE, AFTER, AND DURING.....

EVERY MAJOR EVENT IN HIS LIFE

NOW…WHY DO I SAY THAT???

IF JESUS CHRIST AS THE IMMORTAL SON OF GOD PRAYED ALL THE TIME THROUGHOUT HIS EARTHLY LIFE

HOW MUCH MORE SHOULD WE....

AS MERE MORTALS ....NEED TO DO THE SAME

LET ME SAY THIS ANOTHER WAY.....

IF ANYBODY DIDN’T HAVE TO PRAY

JESUS COULD HAVE CHECKED OUT WITH THE GOD CARD....

YET JESUS IN HIS HUMANITY…PRAYED ALL THE TIME

I WANT TO ASK YOU ABOUT YOUR PRAYER LIFE THIS MORNING......

ARE YOU PRAYING RIGHT NOW....FOR GOD’S WILL TO BE DONE IN YOUR LIFE

BETTER YET....

ARE YOU EVEN PRAYING TO KNOW THE WILL OF GOD FOR YOUR LIFE

OR

ARE YOU JUST BLINDLY FOLLOWING THE WAYS OF THE WORLD

ARE YOU CONSULTING THE HOLY SPIRIT FOR WISDOM AND DIRECTION FOR YOUR LIFE

OR

ARE YOU GETTING IT FROM TIKTOK

TWITTER

INSTAGRAM

THE NEWS

OR WORSE.....FACEBOOK

I MEAN THINK ABOUT IT....

I DON’T KNOW YOUR LIFE

I ONLY KNOW MY LIFE

BUT I DO KNOW THIS....

WRITE THIS DOWN....

THE FREQUENCY OF YOUR PRAYERS IS AN INDICATOR...

OF YOUR DEPENDENCE UPON GOD

CHURCH...

WHAT YOU SAY TO GOD BY NOT PRAYING IS....

“GOD I DON’T NEED YOU”

“WHEN I DO, I’LL CALL YOU”

SO, YOU DON’T HAVE TO TELL GOD ANYTHING ABOUT....

WHAT YOU NEED FROM HIM

OR YOUR DEPENDENCE ON HIM

BECAUSE YOUR SAYING EVERYTHING BY YOUR LACK OF PRAYING

NOW....JESUS PRAYED OFTEN AND THE WAY THAT I GOT THIS IDEA OF.....CONTINUAL IS INTERESTING.

TAKE YOUR BIBLE AND GO BACK TO VERSE 1 AND ALSO LOOK AT VERSE 3

I BELIEVE…THAT WORD “OFFER” IS THE KEY WORD IN THESE PASSAGES

THAT WORD OFFER IN VERSE 7...

WAS THE SAME WORD USED BY THE SAME AUTHOR EARLIER IN THIS PASSAGE...

TO TALK ABOUT THE DAILY OFFERINGS OR THE GIFTS THAT THE PRIESTS WOULD MAKE BEFORE GOD

THEY WERE EXPECTED TO OFFER UP....MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY AS AN ACT OF WORSHIP

ONCE AT 9AM FOR SURE

AND AGAIN AT 3PM DURING THE DAY

AND WHAT HE IS SAYING IN VERSE 7 IS...

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT JESUS DID..

IN THE SAME WAY THAT THE PRIESTS OFFERED UP CONTINUAL OFFERINGS AND GIFTS

JESUS OFFERED UP PRAYERS AND....WATCH THIS.....

PETITIONS......INTERESTING

PRAYERS AND APPEALS

NOW…THOSE 2 WORDS ARE VERY FAMILIAR TO US BECAUSE..

WE KNOW THEM FROM THE BIBLE

BUT NOTICE HERE…THEY ARE PUT TOGETHER IN THIS PASSAGE

PRAYER AND PETITION

WE SEE SEVERAL TIMES IN THE WORD OF GOD WHERE..

WE ARE TOLD TO PRAY AND PETITION

THIS IS NOT JUST CASUAL PRAYING

THIS IS NOT JUST SURFACE LEVEL PRAYING

THIS IS A SPECIFIC PRAYER TO MEET A PARTICULAR NEED IN A PERSON LIFE

AND WHILE I’M SURE THAT JESUS PRAYED THIS WAY OFTEN

WE KNOW FOR SURE WHAT KIND OF PRAYING HE IS TALKING ABOUT…

IN ONE INSTANCE IN THE LIFE OF JESUS

POP QUIZ.....DO WE KNOW WHERE IT IS.....

WHERE DID JESUS PRAY WITH THIS MUCH INTENSITY

WITH SUCH FERVENCY AND PASSION?

IN THE GARDEN OF GETHSEMANE

WHICH LEADS TO THE SECOND CHARACTERISTIC OF THE PRAYER LIFE OF JESUS....

2. WE MUST PRAY PASSIONATELY

JESUS PRAYED PASSIONATELY

THEREFORE, WE SHOULD PRAY PASSIONATELY

IT SAYS IN THE TEXT ....

JESUS PRAYED MANY TIMES WITH LOUD CRIES AND TEARS

DID YOU KNOW THAT????

JESUS PRAYED MANY TIMES THROUGH TEARS????

HE CRIED OUT TO THE FATHER.....

WE KNOW THIS FROM LUKE 22:44

Luke 22:44 CSB

44 Being in anguish, he prayed more fervently, and his sweat became like drops of blood falling to the ground.

CHURCH....

LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING...

SATAN HATES NOTHING MORE...

THAN WHEN A BELIEVER....PRAYS

DID YOU KNOW THAT??

NOTHING CAUSES SATAN TO TREMBLE MORE...

THAN A BELIEVER ON THEIR KNEES BEFORE A HOLY GOD

HE HATES PRAYER SO MUCH WHICH IS WHY....

YOU AND I PRAY SO LITTLE

OH COME ON......

WE’RE ALWAYS SO BUSY…RIGHT..

THINK ABOUT THIS.....

HOW MUCH TIME LAST WEEK DID YOU SET ASIDE TIME ALONE

TO SPEND WITH THE FATHER IN PRAYER????

I HEARD THIS FROM SOMEONE AWHILE AGO...

SATAN DOES MAKE YOU BAD OR CAUSE YOU TO BE MAD

HE JUST KEEPS YOU BUSY

IF HE CAN KEEP YOU BUSY, HE WINS....RIGHT?

THERE IS A SPECIFIC TYPE OF PRAYING....

I BELIEVE SATAN HATES MORE THAN ANYTHING

IN FACT,

LEONARD RAVENHILL (THE GREAT REVIVALIST) SAID IT THIS WAY....

“GOD DOESN’T ANSWER PRAYER, GOD ANSWERS DESPERATE PRAYER”

GOD HEARS...

TIRELESS PRAYERS

GOD LISTENS TO..

TRAVAILING PRAYERS

CONTINUAL PRAYER

HE HEARS

PASSIONATE (FERVENT) PRAYERS

LET ME GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE....

THINK ABOUT THE OLD TESTAMENT MOM...

HANNA

HANNA WENT ON TO BIRTH ARGUABLY THE GREATEST JUDGE IN THE HISTORY OF ISRAEL

....SAMUEL...

SAMUEL WENT ON TO ANOINT KING DAVID AS THE KING OF ISRAEL....PRETTY BIG DEAL

BUT HANNA WAS CHILDLESS FOR MANY YEARS

AND IT SAID THAT SHE FASTED AND WEPT AND CRIED OUT TO GOD..PERSISTENTLY

SHE PETITIONED GOD

AND EVENTUALLY GOD ANSWERED HER PRAYER BECAUSE OF HER PERSISTENCE

CHURCH....HOW OFTEN DO WE GIVE UP ON GOD...

RIGHT BEFORE GOD IS ABOUT TO ANSWER???

WHAT ABOUT RACHEL????

RACHEL IS MARRIED TO ISSAC

RACHEL IS CHILDLESS

AND SHE GOES BEFORE GOD AND SAYS....

“GOD YOU NEED TO GIVE ME A CHILD OR I WILL DIE”

SHE WAS BURDENED IN PRAYER

LOOK AT ME......

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU PRAYED LIKE THAT???

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU WERE DESPERATE....

FOR GOD TO MOVE IN YOUR LIFE?

MAYBE YOUR DESPERATE RIGHT NOW.....THINK ABOUT YOUR LIFE

MAYBE YOUR HERE AND SAYING

PASTOR I AM DESPERATE FOR GOD TO MOVE IN MY FAMILY

I AM DESPERATE FOR A WAYWARD CHILD TO COME HOME

I’M DESPERATE FOR MY MARRIAGE TO BE STRENGTHENED

I’M DESPERATE FOR MY JOB TO TURN AROUND

I’M DESPERATE FOR THE FINANCIAL STRUGGLE THAT I’M IN

I’M DESPERATE FOR A HEALING IN MY BODY

WHATEVER YOUR DESPERATE FOR...

ARE YOU PRAYING TIRELESSLY???

LET ME ASK IT THIS WAY...

IF REVIVAL COMING TO THE CHURCH

DEPENDED SOLELY ON YOUR PRAYER LIFE

WOULD WE EXPERIENCE REVIVAL HERE AT BURSON CHURCH?

LET ME SAY IT ANOTHER WAY....

IF REVIVAL COMING TO YOUR HOME WAS DEPENDENT ON YOUR PERSONAL PRAYER LIFE

WOULD GOD SEND REVIVAL TO YOUR HOME

WHAT ABOUT YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD

WHAT ABOUT THIS COMMUNITY

IF REVIVAL COMING WAS DEPENDENT ON YOUR PRAYER LIFE....

WOULD IT COME

LISTEN TO THIS....I BELIEVE THIS....

EVERY BATTLE WE FACE IN OUR CHRISTIAN LIFE...

IS WON OR LOST BY PRAYER OR LACK THERE OF...

NOW HOW DO I KNOW THIS.....

BECAUSE PAUL SAID WE ARE NOT BATTLING AGAINST FLESH AND BLOOD

THE BATTLE IS NOT AGAINST PEOPLE

IT’S AGAINST POWERS AND PRINCIPALITIES

SPIRITUAL FORCES OF ANOTHER REALM

SO THE ONLY WAY WE CAN BATTLE....BECAUSE WE CAN’T GO THEIR PHYSICALLY

IS BY SENDING PETITIONS AND PRAYERS TO THE FATHER

WHO THEN DEPLOYS AN ARMY OF ANGELS TO FIGHT FOR US.....WOW

ISN’T THAT AWESOME

BUT HERE IS WHAT JESUS IS SHOWING US....

WE HAVE TO PRAY

CHURCH…THE BATTLE IS WON OR LOST....

NOT IN POLITICS

IT’S NOT WON IN THE COURT HOUSE

IT’S NOT WON OR LOST IN CONGRESS

THE BATTLE IS GOING TO BE WON OR LOST IN THE PRAYER CLOSET....

I’M NOT AGAINST THOSE THINGS....I VOTE

I’M A VOTER

BUT FRIENDS IT’S NOT GOING TO BE WON IF WE GET THE RIGHT PERSON IN POLITICAL POWER

BECAUSE WE HAVE HAD THOSE PEOPLE IN POWER

AND WERE STILL IN A MESS

THE BATTLE IS WON BY...

A MOM WHO WILL GET ON HER KNEES AND SAY...

I’M GONNA STAND IN THE GAP FOR MY KIDS AND PRAY FERVENTLY

THE BATTLE WILL BE WON BY...

A DAD WHO WILL HUMBLE HIMSELF BEFORE A HOLY GOD

GET ON HIS KNEES AND SAY...

COUNT ME IN...LIKE THE WATCHMEN ON THE WALL TO STAND IN THE GAP FOR MY FAMILY

IT’S GONNA BE WON WHEN....STUDENTS

GET PASSIONATE ABOUT PRAYING FOR LOST FRIENDS

AND LOST CLASSMATES....

AND SAY.....”GOD I WANNA WIN MY FRIENDS FOR JESUS, USE ME FOR YOUR GLORY”

THAT IS HOW THE BATTLE WILL BE WON

ARE YOU WILLING TO BE THAT ONE???

THE ONE WHO STANDS AND SAYS “I WANNA BE THE ONE…USE ME LORD”

THAT KIND OF PERSON WAS A MAN NAMED....JOHN KNOX

I DON’T KNOW IF YOU KNOW WHO JOHN KNOX WAS…BUT

HE WAS THE PROTESTANT PREACHER THAT ACTUALLY ESTABLISHED CHURCHES IN SCOTLAND

HE WAS ACTUALLY KNOWN THROUGHOUT HISTORY AS..

ONE OF THE GREATEST PREACHERS OF ALL TIME

BUT THOSE WHO KNEW HIM CLOSELY AND THOSE WHO KNEW HIM BEST SAID......

“HE WAS A FAR BETTER PRAYER THAN HE WAS A PREACHER”

IN FACT HE WOULD GET ALONE WITH THE LORD OFTEN

AND HE WOULD PRAY PASSIONATELY

AND ONE OF THE PRAYERS HE WOULD PRAY OFTEN WAS THIS...

“GOD GIVE ME SCOTLAND OR I DIE”

AND HE MEANT IT

“IF YOU WON’T LET ME SEE THE PEOPLE COME TO THE LORD…THEN TAKE ME NOW”

HE WAS AN AMAZING PRAYER

IN FACT.....

QUEEN MARY (AKA…BLOODY MARY)

THE REASON SHE WAS CALLED BLOODY MARY WAS BECAUSE...

DURING HER SHORT 5 YEAR REIGN

SHE MURDERED OVER 300 MEN AND WOMEN WHO PREACHED CHRIST

I DID THE MATH AND THAT IS...

1 CHRISTIAN A WEEK DYING UNDER HER REIGN

SHE SAID THIS ABOUT THE LIFE OF JOHN KNOX AND I QUOTE...

“I FEAR THE PRAYERS OF JOHN KNOX MORE THAN THE ASSEMBLED ARMIES OF EUROPE”

CHURCH...

DOES SATAN FEAR YOUR PRAYER LIFE???

DOES SATAN HAVE ANYTHING AT ALL TO FEAR IN YOUR LIFE???

IF WE WANT OUR PRAYERS TO BE HEARD BY GOD

WE NEED TO PRAY CONSISTENTLY

WE NEED TO PRAY PASSIONATELY

WE NEED TO PRAY REVERENTLY

THE WORD REVERENCE IS THE KEY TO THE ENTIRE PASSAGE THAT WE READ

IT SAID...

JESUS WAS HEARD BECAUSE OF WHAT......

HIS REVERENCE

REVERENCE IS ANOTHER WORD FOR...

FEAR OR AWE

IT’S A HOLY RESPECT

A RESPECT FOR THE POWER OF GOD

RESPECT FOR THE PERSON OF GOD

NOW WATCH THIS....

IT SAID....

BECAUSE OF HIS REVERENCE…GOD HEARD HIS REQUEST

IT DOESN’T SAY....

GOD ANSWERED HIS REQUEST

NOW......WE KNOW THAT GOD DOESN’T ANSWER ALL OF OUR PRAYER REQUEST

AT LEAST NOT IN THE WAY WE WANT

ISN’T IT ENCOURAGING THAT THE SON OF GOD HIMSELF

DID NOT GET THE PRAYERS HE PRAYED, ANSWERED THE WAY HE WANTED???

HE SAID....FATHER IF THERE IS ANY OTHER WAY PLEASE LET THIS CUP PASS FORM ME

YET NOT MY WILL BUT YOUR WILL BE DONE

AND THE FATHER DOES NOT ANSWER HIS REQUEST THAT WAY

WHEN GOD HEARS YOUR PRAYER, HE ANSWERS WITH..

YES, NOT NOW, OR ANOTHER WAY

BUT GOD HEARS THE PRAYERS AND CRIES OF HIS PEOPLE

HOW MANY OF YOU ARE THANKFUL THAT GOD DIDN’T ANSWER A PRAYER YOU PRAYED FOR

LOOKING BACK MAYBE YOU PRAYED FOR SOMETHING

AND NOW YOUR LIKE.....

THANK GOD HE DIDN’T ANSWER THAT THE WAY I WANTED HIM TO

WHAT THIS MEANS IS...

WE NEED TO PRAY WITH THIS REVERENCE FOR GOD

HE HEARS US WHEN WE PRAY WITH REVERENCE

REVERENCE IS THIS IDEA OF...

THE POSTURE OF OUR HEART BEING MATCHED WITH THE POSITION OF OUR LIFE

MEANING THIS....

IF YOU WANT TO HUMBLE YOURSELF BEFORE A HOLY GOD

THEN WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU BOWED BEFORE HIM IN PRAYER INSTEAD OF…

COWERING...BECAUSE OF THE PRIDE OF WHAT OTHERS MAY THINK?

DO YOU SING WITH..

HANDS RAISED,

MOUTH OPEN,

PRAISES LIFTED TO THE GOD WHO SAVED YOUR SOUL

OR

DO YOU SIT WITH A STRAIGHT FACE

LOOKING BORED OUT OF YOUR MIND

WHEN AN INVITATION IS GIVEN TO COME.....

DO YOU RUN TO THE ALTAR SAYING...

“I JUST WANT TO BE IN HIS PRESENCE”

OR DO YOU SIT IN YOUR SEAT UNMOVED???

THE POSTURE OF YOU HEART MATCHES THE POSITION OF YOUR LIFE

THIS IS WHAT WE SEE ALL THROUGH SCRIPTURE...

DESPERATION LEADS TO REVELATION

HERE IS WHAT I MEAN...

WHEN YOUR DESPERATE FOR GOD....HE REVEALS HIMSELF TO YOU

WHEN WE GET TO A PLACE OF DESPERATION....THAT IS WHEN GOD SHOWS UP

CHURCH.....

PRAYER IS NOT...

GETTING THINGS FROM GOD

PRAYER IS GETTING.....GOD

THE GOAL OF PRAYER IS GOD HIMSELF

TO BE ABLE TO BASK IN HIS PRESENCE

IT IS INTIMACY WITH THE FATHER

THE PROBLEM IS THIS...

MOST OF OUR PRAYER LIVES ARE LIKE THIS...

IT’S ALL ABOUT.....ME

MY AGENDA

MY NEEDS

MY WANTS

MY STRUGGLES

MY PAINS

MY ACHES

MY TROUBLES

MY ISSUES

IT’S OK TO PRAY FOR THOSE THINGS HOWEVER...

WATCH THIS…AND WRITE IT DOWN

PRAYER IS MORE ABOUT INTIMACY WITH A PERSON THAN IT IS ABOUT AN ANSWER TO A PETITION

......WORSHIP TEAM COME......

WE HAVE TO CHANGE OUR THINKING ON PRAYER.

IT’S ABOUT INTIMACY WITH JESUS.....

NOT AN ANSWER TO YOUR PETITION

BUT PASTOR.....WHAT DO I SAY?

I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO PRAY

DID YOU KNOW....

SOME OF THE GREATEST PRAYERS....HAVE NO WORDS

WHAT DO YOU MEAN???

THEY ARE SIMPLY A CRY FROM YOUR HEART

HOW MANY OF YOU REMEMBER HAVING AN INFANT IN THE HOME???

WHO STILL HAS ONE IN THE HOME???

LORD BLESS THEM…LOL

(TALK ABOUT ALL THE CRYING WHEN THE KIDS WERE LITTLE)

DO YOU REMEMBER LAYING IN BED AT NIGHT AND HEARING FROM THE BABIES ROOM

“DAD, COME TURN THE LIGHT ON”

WHAT IN THE WORLD WAS THAT...

THEN YOU HEAR...”MOM, I’M HUNGRY, COME FEED ME”

IS THAT HOW YOUR INFANT TALKS TO YOU????

NO…BABIES DON’T EVEN HAVE WORDS

THEY DON’T KNOW HOW TO COMMUNICATE

HOW DOES AN INFANT COMMUNICATE TO A FATHER OR A MOTHER???

THEY CRY

DID YOU KNOW THAT THERE IS A LANGUAGE TO CRYING???

MOMS ARE WAY BETTER AT DECYFERING THEIR CRIES

(TALK ABOUT HOW DIFFERENT CRIES COMMUNICATE DIFFERENT ISSUES)

LISTEN TO ME CHURCH...

OUR HEAVENLY FATHER KNOW THE LANGUAGE OF THE CRIES OF HIS CHILDREN

GOD KNOWS

GOD HEARS THE SILENT REQUESTS OF OUR HEART

SOME OF THE BEST PRAYERS TO GOD ARE...

WORDLESS PRAYER TO GOD

THE BIBLE SPEAKS OF THIS IN…ROMANS 8:26

Romans 8:26 NIV

26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.

CHARLES SPURGEON SAID THIS....

“The best style of prayer is that which cannot be called anything else but a cry.”

.......stand to your feet.......

IN A MOMENT I AM GOING TO INVITE YOU TO REALLY JUST SPEND SOME TIME IN HIS PRESENCE THIS MORNING.....

CLOSE IN PRAYER AND DISMISS THOSE WHO NEED TO LEAVE...

INVITE OTHERS TO STAY AND WORSHIP...
