Let’s set the foundations

Prayer (definition)
- The act or practice of speaking to God for requests, praise and thanks.
- Conversation with God
- Connection with God with direct communication
- Communion with God
Many think prayer is
- Wishing
- Hoping
- Throwing words into the air
- Something said over food
- Can’t hurt
- Spending time in solitude
Many Christians say
- I feel that God does not hear me
- I don’t seem to get my prayers answered
- It seems like I’m just wasting time
- Maybe I’m praying the wrong prayers/way
- I’m probably not praying enough
- I don’t have enough time to pray
- I wish I could see more results
There are a lot of questions about Prayer
- Why is it necessary?
- Isn’t God going to do what He wants anyway?
- How do I know if God hears me?
- Can I really change things?
- If God wants do something, why does He need us?
God never moves without prayer..
Why?
He’s waiting for Permission
He’s waiting for our Request
Why?
- God gave ruler ship of earth to Adam
- Adam gave it to Satan
- Jesus came to defeat Satan and regain rulership of earth
- Jesus gave rulership back to man again
- Man rules earth through
- Jesus Christ OR Satan is allowed to continue his rule & hinder man’s prayers
