A.That men always ought

to pray: Man is createdwith a spiritual instinct, soprayer often comesnaturally. Yet obstacles

come in the way of effectiveand constant prayer, soJesus knew we needed tobe both taught andencouraged always . . . topray.

B.Jesus does not mean that

we should always have ourknees bent and eyesclosed in prayer; but we

of prayer.C.pray without ceasing (1Thess. 5:17).

N.What is prayer?


10/47

Jesus said that it is

necessary that weALWAYS pray.

1. Prayer is talking to

God.


11/47

(Mat 6:5-6 KJV) And

when thou p rayest ,thou shal t not be as

the hypocr i tes are:

for they love to pray

stand ing in thesynagogues and in

the co rners of the

s treets , that they may

be seen of men.

Ver i ly I say un to you,

They have their

reward . {6} Bu t thou ,when thou p rayest ,

en ter into thy c loset,

and when thou hast


12/47

shut thy doo r , pray to

thy Father which is insecret ; and thy

Father which seeth in

secret shal l reward

thee openly .Jesus isnt saying that

we should never pray

with other people orthat we shouldnt pray

out loud. His whole

point is that we ought to

be praying to God.


13/47

Sometimes when we

pray in front of otherpeople, we can fall into

a trap of praying to

the people than

praying toGod. Sometimes we

can find ourselves

trying to send a

message to someone in

the group with our

prayer.


14/47

Jesus told us that when

we pray we ought toaddress our prayers to

GodOur Father

which art in heaven

2. Its the heart thatcounts, not the words.

(Mat 6:7KJV) But

when ye pray, useno t vain repet i t ions ,

as the heathen do :

for they think that

they shal l be heardfor thei r much

speaking.


15/47

Memorized prayersI

think that its okay toknow some memorized

prayers, like the Lords

Prayer. But if the

words are just wordsand dont mean

anything to you, theres

no value.

I think we can also fall

into a trap of thinking

that if we keep going on

and on and on with ourprayer, that somehow

that is more spiritual.


16/47

(James 5:16-18

NLT) Confess yoursins to each otherand pray for eachother so that you

may be healed. Theearnest prayer of arighteous personhas great power andwonderful results.{17} Elijah was ashuman as we are,

and yet when heprayed earnestlythat no rain wouldfall, none fell for the


17/47


18/47

Elijah himself is a great

example of the power ofprayer, not because of

his long prayers, but

because of his fervent

prayers.


19/47

Elijah had a

showdown with theprophets of Baal on

Mount Carmel. They

all got together and

agreed to each asktheir god to send

fire to consume their

sacrifice. The

prophets of Baal

yelled and danced all

day long.


20/47


21/47

made. {27} And it

came to pass atnoon, that Elijahmocked them, andsaid, Cry aloud: for

he is a god; eitherhe is talking, or heis pursuing, or heis in a journey, orperadventure hesleepeth, and mustbe awaked. {28}

And they criedaloud, and cutthemselves aftertheir manner with


22/47


23/47


24/47

(1 Ki 18:36-38

KJV) And it cameto pass at the timeof the offering ofthe evening

sacrifice, thatElijah the prophetcame near, andsaid, LORD God ofAbraham, Isaac,and of Israel, let itbe known this day

that thou art God inIsrael, and that Iam thy servant,and that I have


25/47

done all these

things at thy word.{37} Hear me, OLORD, hear me,that this people

may know thatthou art the LORDGod, and that thouhast turned theirheart back again.{38} Then the fireof the LORD fell,

and consumed theburnt sacrifice, andthe wood, and thestones, and the


26/47

dust, and licked up

the water that wasin the trench.

3. Prayer is not about

informing God

(Mat 6:8 KJV) Be no tye therefo re l ike un to

them : for you r Father

knoweth what th ingsye have need of,

befo re ye ask him .


27/47

Sometimes we fall into

thinking that we have totell God allllllllabout

our needs. We will go

into deep detail as we

pray, as if we are tellingGod something He

didnt know. Perhaps

we have this idea that

God is frantically

taking notes because

the things were telling

Him are new toHim. Not so.

4. Prayer involves

yielding to Gods will


28/47

(Mat 6:9-

10 KJV) A fter thismanner therefo repray ye: Our Father

wh ich art in heaven,

Hal lowed be thyname. {10} Thy

kingdom come. Thy

w ill be done in earth ,

as it is in heaven .


29/47

One of the goals in

prayer is to see that thethings on earth become

conformed to Gods

will. It is not about

demanding that ourwillbe done, but Hiswill be

done. The goal of

prayer is not to shape

the world a little more

into the picture that we

want it to be, but to be a

part of seeing thingswork out the way that

God wants them to be.


30/47

It is not a lack of faith

to say, if it be Yourwill. This

is exactly what were

supposed to say.

5. Prayer involves askingfor needs

(Mat 6:11 KJV) Give

us th is day our dai lybread.

Even though we dont

need to inform God

about what our needsare, God does want us

to ask.


31/47

Why do we need to ask

when He already knowswhat we need?

God wants us to learn

to come to Him and

depend upon Him tomeet our needs. He

wants us to see the

connection of being inneed and seeing Him

respond and meet our

needs. He wants us to

learn to depend uponHim.


32/47

Somehow, God

withholds some thingsbecause He is waiting

for us to come to Him

and ask Him for them.

(James 4:2KJV) yet ye havenot, because ye ask

not.Our lives will start torun the way God

intends them to run

when we learn todepend upon Him.

Illustration


33/47

Suppose you looked

at the gas gage inyour car and saw

that you were

beginning to run out

of fuel. Even thoughthe gas prices are

pretty low right now,

you decide to save a

few bucks and fill up

your gas tank with

something else. So

you park the car inthe front yard, pull

out the garden hose,

and fill your tank


34/47

with water. Will

your car run verywell?I dont think

so.

We were designed to

run best when ourtanks are filled with

the things of God,

when our lives aredependent upon Him.

6. Prayer involves

confession of sin


35/47

(Mat 6:12-

13a KJV) And forg iveus our debts , as weforg ive ou r deb tors .

And lead us not in to

temptat ion , butdeliver us from evi l :

If we are truly praying

to God, if we are trulyaware of His presence

as we are praying, we

will realize our great

need for forgiveness.


36/47

Sin is the very thing that

will cut off ourcommunication with

God.


37/47

(Isa 59:1-2

KJV) Behold, theLORD'S hand is notshortened, that itcannot save; neither

his ear heavy, that itcannot hear: {2} Butyour iniquities haveseparated betweenyou and your God,and your sins havehid his face from

you, that he will nothear.


38/47


39/47

(Mat 6:13b KJV) For

th ine is the kingdom ,and the power, and

the glo ry , fo r ever.

Amen.

We talked a few weeksago about the ten lepers

who were healed, but

only one returned togive thanks (Luke

17:11-19). Our time of

talking with God ought

to always includethanks, praise, and

adoration.


40/47

I believe there is a sense

in which we are able toexperience Gods

presence in our l ives in a

greater measure as we

learn to honestly andsincerely give H im

praise.

(Psa 22:3 KJV) Butthou art holy, O thouthat inhabitest thepraises of Israel.

(Psa 22:3 ICB) Yousit as the Holy One.The praises of Israelare your throne.


41/47

I think that as we

praise Him, weexperience His

presence, He is King

on the throne in our

lives.

O.

2. y no desmayarA.And not lose heart: Oftenwe stop praying because

we lose heart. We becomediscouraged and then slackoff in prayer.


42/47

B.One of the most difficult

aspects of prayer ispersevering when it seemsthat God is not answering.

C.It is easy to lose heartin

prayer because prayer ishard work that we too oftenapproach lightly.In Colossians 4:12, Paulpraises a man namedEpaphras because hewas always laboring

fervently . . . in prayers.Paul knew that prayer washard work that requiredfervent labor.

D.ORAS QUE VENGA EL

E.It is easy to lose heartinprayer because the Devilhates prayer. If prayer were

powerless, it would beeasy!

F.It is easy to lose heartin

prayer because we are not


44/47

always convinced of the

reality of the power ofprayer. Too often, prayerbecomes a last resortinstead of a first resource.

G.There are a number ofreasons that we are prone tolose heart and quit praying.

Sometimes we assume that weare competent to handle thingsin our own strength. This isespecially a danger when it is

a task that we do repeatedly.H.EN LO QUE HACES

R.Part of praying is learning to

wait. Not only do we wantto pour out our hearts to the

Lord, but we want to learn to

wait on Him. We want to

learn to trust in Him. Wewant to learn to depend upon

Him.S.
