Years ago an old lady had no money to buy food.
She prayed, "Dear Lord, please send me a side of bacon and a sack of corn meal."
Over and over again she prayed the same prayer aloud.
One of the town's unscrupulous citizens decided to play a trick on her.
He dropped a side of bacon and a sack of corn meal down her chimney.
It landed in front of her as she knelt in prayer.
Jumping to her feet, she exclaimed, "Oh Lord!
You have answered my prayer!"
Then she went all over town telling everyone the good news.
This was too much for the scoundrel who dropped the food down her chimney.
He ridiculed her publicly and told her that God did not answer her prayer; he did.
The old lady replied, "Well, the devil may have brought it, but it was the Lord who sent it!"
God answers prayers in many ways.
Matt 6:5-15 & Luke 11:2-13 teaches us how to pray (9 things of importance)
a.Pray in secret - Not like the hypocrite
b.
Don’t use repetition - Father knows your needs
c.Acknowledge the Sovereignty of God
d.Yield to His Purpose and will
e.Depend on Him to supply
f.Forgive them so God will forgive you
g.Depend on Him for Deliverance
h.Luke 11:5-8 tells us to pray with persistence
A lady in the church who invited her neighbor to go to services with her kept count of the times the neighbor refused.
It came to 49.
She pleasantly mentioned the count to her friend as she issued her fiftieth invitation at the time of a special meeting.
At first the friend declined again but later called and said she would go.
"If you are interested enough in me to ask me 50 times to go, I will go with you and see what it is like."
She went out and liked what she saw.
She returned and she was converted-all because someone did not give up too soon.
i.Luke 11:9-13 tells us to ask, seek, and knock, and believe when you pray
Prayer has to do with attitude, perspective and dependency on God
PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
Pray for your family
Pray for your friends
Pray for your nation
Pray for your enemies (There salvation)
1. PRAY FOR YOUR FAMILY
The outcry was Great
Sin was exceedingly great
Abraham knew Lot and his family was in Sodom
He asks the Lord not to destroy for the righteous.
50, 45, 40, 30, 30, & 10
The more he asks, the more he realized that only his family may be the righteous ones
Lot had placed his fortune in Sodom, all his possessions, family and business was there
Lot and his two daughters were delivered from the city.
Lots wife could have been saved but she was not.
God always gives people a free will to choose His deliverance
God still destroyed the cities but he answered Abrahams prayer.
ABRAHAM PRAYED FOR HIS FAMILY
-They compared there ministry to that of Moses (Did God not also speak to us?)
Miriam and Aaron speaks against Moses
They compare there ministry to that of Moses (Did God not also speak to us?)
The Lord hears it
The Lord appears to Moses, Miriam and Aaron and tells them to meet God at the tent of meeting
The Lord speaks highly of Moses, telling them he speaks mouth to mouth with Moses openly and even beholds the form of the Lord (vs 8)
After the Lord leaves, Miriam becomes leprous

Numbers 12:11–12(NASB95)
Then Aaron said to Moses, “Oh, my lord, I beg you, do not account this sin to us, in which we have acted foolishly and in which we have sinned.
“Oh, do not let her be like one dead, whose flesh is half eaten away when he comes from his mother’s womb!”
Moses cries out to the Lord Num 12 13
God hears, and Miriam is healed, then placed outside the camp for 7 days before Israel moves on again

He was placed under 4 squads (quaternions GK) of soldiers that is 4 groups of 4 soldiers)
The church prayed for his deliverance
fervently - intently (GK)
God waited a few days
Peter was sleeping (not worried about his future)
Angel of the Lord suddenly appears, a light shines in the cell, he struck Peter’s side to wake him, and his chains fall off
Angel tells Peter to get dressed and follow him
Peter thought this was seeing a vision.
They pass the first and second guards, and come to the gate that leads into the city which opens itself and went along one street before the angel disappeared

JOB PRAYS FOR HIS FRIENDS
For many days Job was tested by God through loss, pain, and his friends
Yet Job remained blameless
But his friends were not (Job 42:7
So God tells them to have Job pray for them
And after there obedience, the Lord lifted up Job
The Lord restores Job when he prayed for his friends
JOB PRAYED FOR HIS FRIENDS

No one else was to be seen on the mountain - even the flocks and herds could not graze in front of it
Moses goes up mount Sinai as commanded by the Lord
The Lord descends in the cloud
