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...

Out Of The Ashes

Isaiah 61:3 Ashes are not seen as useful substances. Ashes are waste that's thrown away. Ashes are what is left after a substance is burnt out. Your life may seem like ashes right now but something good and beautiful can come out of it when it's given to God. You may feel like an ash yourself. You may be feeling burnt out from unpleasant experiences of the past, the previous week, the last Month , or the the last year and life's battles may have left you burnt out. Know that out of your ashes can come beauty! God is the one who gives us beauty for ashes. God can make you and your life beautiful! Don't make the ashes your permanent state. God can make your season of ashes work out into a season of glory for you. Romans 8:28 The phoenix is a mystical and fictional bird that burns out after living for about six centuries.
