Prayer Card
A primary means of communication that binds together God and humankind in intimate and reciprocal relationship
Prayer is not primarily about what we can get out of God, but what He purposes to do in and through us for His own pleasure.
The great secret of prayer is to align ourselves to God’s purposes rather than seeking to align Him to ours.
Prayer Night
Prayer Night
Prayed for: healing, boldness, the lost, our kids, our marriages, our country, our church
Interceded for some of you sitting here today
Don’t say that to embarrass you or make you feel uncomfortable
Want you to know you’re not here by accident.
That prompting, that urge, even that resistance you faced this morning… I believe that was a result of prayers prayed Wednesday night.
And the devil isn’t happy.
>>> There is a unique power that comes when God’s people gather together to pray.
II.
Praying together (Daniel 2:1-28)
Nebuchadnezzar’s dream
Call in all his “wise men:” magicians, enchanters, sorcerers, astrologers
Demands they 1) Tell him what his dream was 2) Interpret the dream for him
Threatens to kill all of the wise men if they get the dream wrong.
v5 - “I am serious about this.
If you don’t tell me what my dream was and what it means, you will be torn limb from limb, and your houses will be turned into heaps of rubble!”
“Nebby… Neb, can I call you Neb?
Tell me your dream and I’ll interpret for you...”
King Nebby ain’t playing around
Wise men are all scared to death.
Too afraid to even make an attempt.
Not even going to try going down swinging.

1.
That He is with us.
(NIV)
(NIV)
2. God’s basic way of running the universe is through the intercession of His saints
Creation and redemption, the greatest works of all time, are the works that God did alone

3. Miraculous things happen when we pray together
-17LT)
Peter wasn’t even praying at this moment—He was asleep
LT)

Healing
Lost > saved
Out of debt / Financial freedom
Marriage / relationship restored
4. Boldness to do what God has called
NLT - As soon as they were freed, Peter and John returned to the other believers and told them what the leading priests and elders had said.
24 When they heard the report, all the believers lifted their voices together in prayer to God...
