Prayer definition from last week
Prayer is the heart and soul of every successful relationship with God.
Prayer is absolutely crucial to every area of a believer’s life.
Eerdmans Dictionary of the Bible:
Prayer: A primary means of communication that binds together God and humankind in intimate and reciprocal relationship.
>>> “We must stop viewing prayer merely as a means to get our needs met.
Far more than just meeting needs, prayer is God’s primary means of our coming to know Him, worship Him, and experience transformation through the indwelling Christ.”
>>> “We must stop viewing prayer merely as a means to get our needs met.
Far more than just meeting needs, prayer is God’s primary means of our coming to know Him, worship Him, and experience transformation through the indwelling Christ.”
Phase one : Approaching God through Daily Praise and Worship
God reminds us that we are to come before Him with a sense of awe, praise, and reverence.
Praise puts powerful words on your lips as we remember that He is our healer, our firm foundation, that He never fails.
Remember who you are, you are the created in this part of prayer.
Sometimes our approach to God gets dumb down.
We do need to recognize that he is abba father and we do come to him like that.
In some areas we are princes and princesses like in petition

In praise and worship we need to remember He is God and we are not.
4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving; go into his courts with praise.
Give thanks to him and praise his name.
It’s different talking to God, come to the throne of grace.
It is still a throne!
It’s different talking to god, come to the throne of grace.
It is still a throne!
>>> In our prayer time as we end praise and worship and move into phase two we approach God with reverence.
Recognizing Him for who He is and what he has done and what He is about to do in us in this most important phase of your prayer time.

The one thing we don’t want to face
The one thing we don’t want to face
Am I to be reminded of my failures everyday?
Let God rub it in that I fail on a consistent bases.
Hyper serious culture, no fun and no freedom
Not only do we recognize the wondrous grace of God, it embarrasses us.
This is the main reason unbelievers push back against Christianity.
So many things are not okay but God says come confess i will pay for that.
So many things are not okay but God says come confess i will pay for that.
We have to live with the consequences and make restitution but its hard to believe and accept that God puts it as far away as the east is from the west.
After confession I am free?
Free from guilt and shame?
The question is should I be free?
Confession and repentance is a gift from God.
Confession and repentance is a gift from God.

The secret to being happy in life is using the gift of confession.
When we look seriously at it we feel it should’t be that easy.
Many unbelievers push back against what Christians call easy grace.
God offers confession so we can have a relationship with Him.
He gives us repentance so we can be refreshed.
Acts 3:
God did it for the Israelites in the Law.
ILLUS: The insatiable altar.
The Lord ended the question of where they stood with Him
This is the primary way we tap into God’s forgiveness and maintain a Spirit filled life.
When he saved you he Saved your past present and future.
When we confess we claim the forgiveness he paid for on the cross.
We still have to live through the consequences and make restitution but God makes us white as snow.
You cannot pray powerful prayers without daily confession and repentance
(NLT)
Confession is how you put on the the righteousness of Christ.
Crucify your old self and change a dry lack luster prayer life into powerful intercession
• For our confession o be genuine I must be thorough
(NLT)
Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my thoughts.
Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life.
• You have to spend time.
Don’t give God ten seconds this rates the same amount of time as any thing else.
>>> This is why confession is a gift.
It is a time to align yourself with Gods will and fee you from the affects of un-confessed sin.
To free you from the Les Miserable Life.
ILLUS: The insatiable altar.
The Lord ended the question of where they stood with Him
