Title: Prayer...Im


1
Prayer...Imádság Part2
  • Prayers main purpose

2
Points to consider...
  • Biblical prayer is impertinent, persistent,
    shameless, indecorous. It is more like haggling
    in an outdoor bazaar than the polite monologues
    of the church. Walter Wink

3
Points to consider...
  • Does God really care about the details of our
    lives, such as getting a house sold or finding a
    lost cat? And if the answer is yes, then what
    about a hurricane that flattens a city or tsunami
    that washes away a quarter million people?
    Philip Yancey

4
Points to consider...
  • Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone
    hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in
    to him and eat with him, and he with me. Jesus
    (revelation 320)

5
In groups of 3 Look up these scriptures
  • Psalms 4610
  • Isaiah 4031
  • Matthew 67-13
  • Matthew 77-11
  • Galatians 46
  • What do you identify as the central
    focus/reality/reason of prayer?

6
Prayers main purpose?
7
The Central reality of Prayer is?
  • God Himself!

8
The Central reality of Prayer is?
  • God Himself!
  • NOT all that we identify as things we need from
    God, not feeling His presence, not fulfilling
    religious duty. Simply put, it is relationship!

9
The Central reality of Prayer
  • So dont hunt for feeling in prayer. Deep in our
    psyches we want an experience with God or an
    experience in prayer. Once we make that our
    quest, we lose God. You dont experience Godyou
    get to know him. You submit to him. You enjoy
    him. He is, after all, a person. Paul Miller

10
Our challenge with Prayer
  • Relationship with God does not require a cleaned
    up life...come as you are always, dont wait.

11
  • Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry
    heavy burdens, and I will give you rest...
  • Jõjjetek én hozzám mindnyájan, a kik
    megfáradtatok és megterheltettetek, és én
    megnyugosztlak titeket.Mate1128

12
Relationship is hard!
13
Jesus says, come messy!
14
The qualifications of coming to Jesus?
  • Come weary?
  • Come heavy-burdened?
  • Why?

15
Come JUST as you are!
16
In groups of 3 come up with 5 things that block
relationships from growing in healthy ways!
17
Vital prayer realities
  • 1. Mate 183 És monda Bizony mondom néktek,
    ha meg nem tértek és olyanok nem lesztek mint a
    kis gyermekek, semmiképen nem mentek be a
    mennyeknek országába.
  • I tell you the truth, unless you turn from your
    sins and become like little children, you will
    never get into the Kingdom of Heaven.
  • CHILDLIKENESS!

Vital prayer realities
  • 2. John 519 I tell you the truth, the Son can
    do nothing by myself. He does only what he sees
    the Father doing.
  • Felele azért Jézus, és monda nékik Bizony,
    bizony mondom néktek a Fiú semmit sem tehet
    önmagától, hanem ha látja cselekedni az Atyát,
    mert a miket az cselekszik, ugyanazokat
    hasonlatosképen a Fiú is cselekszi.?
  • Follow the Example of Jesus!

22
Why did Jesus pray?
  • It was his identity!
  • It reflected his humanity! Matt 66
  • It was where he centered his heart and life. One
    day soon afterward Jesus went up on a mountain to
    pray, and he prayed to God all night. Luke 612

23
Why did Jesus pray?
  • It nourished his life. John 432. He prayed
    around his baptism, after preaching, before
    temptation, before choosing the 12 apostles,
    before ministry moments...etc. He prayed always!

24
Why did Jesus pray?
  • CHALLENGES

25
Why did Jesus pray?
  • For most of us prayer serves as a resource to
    help in a time of testing or conflict. For Jesus,
    it was the battle itself. Once the Gethsemane
    prayers had aligned him with the Fathers will,
    what happened next was merely the means to
    fulfill it. Yancey

26
Why did Jesus pray?
  • He prayed for others! Ex/ Peter.
  • Luke 2231-34, Heb 725
