Courage To Pray
Philippians 4:13
I. Be Prayerful
“… in everything by prayer … let your requests be made known unto God” ().
A. Those who do not pray do not win.
They fail because they depend on their own strength.
Stop depending on your self and spend more time depending on God.
He has been there for you before
so He’ll be there for you again.
B. God’s power is released through prayer.
God never fails.
We win as we depend on Him ().
II.
Be Positive
I. Be Prayerful
“… in everything by prayer … let your requests be made known unto God” (Phil.
4:6).
A. Those who do not pray do not win.
They fail because they depend on their own strength.
B. God’s power is released through prayer.
God never fails.
We win as we depend on Him (Matt.
21:22).
II.
Be Positive
“… whatsoever things are of good report … think on these things” (Phil.
4:8).
A. Those who have negative attitudes fail.
They look for and expect the worst and, as a result, they receive it.
B. We must look for the good and expect the best.
Faith pleases God and brings the victory (1 John 5:4).
III.
Be Purposeful
“… the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel” (Phil.
1:12).
A. The apostle Paul was a winner.
The purpose of his life was to further the gospel of Jesus Christ.
B. We need a purpose for living, too.
We glorify God as we let Him speak through us (Rom.
14:7–8).
IV.
Be Persuasive
“… he that winneth souls is wise” (Prov.
11:30).
A. Many fail in their soul-winning attempts.
They are unconvincing because they lack concern and courage.
B. We should witness to the lost with persuasion, realizing that the value of a soul is beyond estimation (Matt.
18:11).
V. Be Persevering
“… I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ” (Phil.
3:8).
A. St. Paul suffered many things for Christ.
He never gave up.
He was a winner.
B. Troubles, trials, and testings come to everyone.
We can win, too, if we “keep on keeping on” (See Rom.
12:12)
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.—Here we find:—I.
WEAKNESS AND STRENGTH.
The believer is weak in himself.
Looking to the “all things” to be done he laments this with shame and tears.
But he is not alone.
Allied to Christ he is strong to overcome evil and to do good.
He has courage and hope.
Nothing in the way of duty is impossible (2 Cor.
12:8–10).
II.
DEPENDENCE AND FREEDOM.
Dependence is the law of our being.
Of the natural life it is said, “In God we live and move and have our being;” how much more is this true of the spiritual life, and yet we are free.
Of our own choice we trust in Christ; of our own will, every moment we abide in Him.
“I can” implies the personal life, reason, conscience, will, and endeavour.
