Prayer & Spiritual Growth

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Philippians 4:6,7

Jesus understood prayer, He prayed a lot and He knew the power it generated. Luke 6:12
Jesus's prayer life was so effective and impactful His disciples had to ask Jesus to teach them how to pray. Luke 11:1
Jesus is our perfect example.
Like Jesus, our prayer life should attract others.
Mark 1:35

Our prayer life should inspire others to pray and develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Luke 11:2
The maturity, the grace, and the power of our prayer life has to do with our spiritual growth.
Your prayers are reflections of where you are spiritually.

Prayer is communication with the divine, with God.
We know how mature a person is by what they say.
In the same way, how we pray has a lot to do with our spiritual growth.

There is a difference between a person who the Holy Spirit prays through and someone who prays from logic.
Romans 8:26
Effective and impactful prayer is prayer that God's Spirit prays through you, it's prayer inspired by God's Word and prayer that comes from the heart.

Prayer Points:
1. Let the Kingdom of God within me shine forth. Luke 17:21
2. Let the Holy Spirit in me take control. 1 Corinthians 6:19
3. Let the faith in me produce great results. Romans 12:3
4. Activate my spiritual gifts. 1 Corinthians 12:4-11
5. Let the mind of Christ within me create my reality. 1 Corinthians 2:16
6. Let the righteousness of Christ attract the blessing of God to me. Matthew 6:33
7. Let the fruits of the Spirit in me mature. Galatians 5:22,23
8. Let the light in me shine forth! Matthew 5:14

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18

The Importance Of The Anointing

Acts 10:38 The anointing is the presence of the Holy Spirit with a person. The anointing speaks, the anointing directs, and the anointing teaches people what they need to know and do. 1 John 2:27 You need the anointing. You can grow in the anointing. It is also possible to depart from the anointing. The anointing won't depart from you but you can depart from the anointing. You should remain in Him. It is worth it investing time to understand the your anointing, growing in your anointing and obeying the anointing. As you get to know a person better by spending time with them, so it is with the anointing in your life. With the anointing, you can't go wrong. The anointing strategically positions you in God's kingdom and in life. Jesus was full of the Holy Spirit. Colossians 2:9 Jesus had the anointing when He was here on earth. Jesus is our example of what our life can be when we have the anointing. Hebrews 12:2 Jesus knew His purpose. Luke 2:49 Jesus

Navigating A New Year

 Isaiah  42:16 Our text passage above shows us God is the one who shows us the path to take and leads us in new directions. Your path matters to God. The way you you choose to take is important to God. Your steps are seen by God and ordered by God. Psalm 37:23 The year ahead of you matters to God too. Luke 13:8-9 Each year God has given you the grace to witness, experience, and journey through is another opportunity to be fruitful for God. God wants you to make the most of the year ahead of you to His glory. Human beings do not always know the way and path to go, we can be limited in wisdom. History shows we do not always make the best choices. The year ahead of us will require knowing the way to go, having the wisdom to make the best decisions and choices. Deuteronomy 30:19 To successfully navigate the year we need to stay in God.. To navigate is to find your way through, it is following the right path to a specific destination.
