Prayer Topics
OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN…
Romans 8:15 “You have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God’s Spirit when he adopted you as his own children. Now we call him, “Abba, Father””
God loves for us to call Him our Father. Establish your intimate relationship with Him and thank Him for the relationship you have with Him.
HALLOWED BE YOUR NAME…
Proverbs 18:10 “God’s name is a place of protection -the righteous can run there and be safe”
Righteousness – He makes me clean
Sanctifier – He has called me and set me apart
Healer – He heals all my diseases
Banner of Victory – He has defeated my enemy
Shepherd – He speaks to me and leads me
Peace – He is my peace in every storm
Provider – He supplies all of my needs
YOUR KINGDOM COME…
Luke 12:31 He will always give you all you need from day to day if you will make the Kingdom of God your primary concern
God’s priorities: Saving the Lost, Guiding those in authority – parental, spiritual, governmental, workplace, His will in us.
GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY BREAD…
Psalm 121:1-2 “I look up to the mountains—does my help come from there? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth!“
Ask God for what you want and need and then trust God for the answer.
FORGIVE US OUR DEBTS AS WE FORGIVE OUR DEBTORS…
1 John 1:9 But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.
Ask God to check your heart and motives. Receiver His forgiveness for any area he brings to mind. Forgive anyone who has offended you in any way. You can even forgive people in advance.
AND DO NOT LEAD US INTO TEMPTATION BUT DELIVER US FROM THE EVIL ONE…
Ephesians 6:12 “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”
Take your stand against the enemy and fight the good fight of faith. Every lie that the enemy has told you should be replaced with the truth of God’s Word.
FOR YOURS IS THE KINGDOM AND THE POWER AND GLORY FOREVER…
Jeremiah 32:17 “Ah, Sovereign LORD, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you”
End your prayer time by reminding yourself of God’s ability. Return to praise and make your faith declarations.
“Yours is the Kingdom” – all rule belongs to You
“Yours is the Power” – all mightiness flows from You
“Yours is the Glory” – Your victory shall be complete
Why We Pray
The power of prayer deepens our dependence on Him and sharpens our faith. When we pray we choose to put everything in God’s hands knowing that His hand will show up in every aspect of our lives and in those around us.
The act of prayer is what creates our intimacy with God. We can practice the spiritual habit of prayer knowing that our requests go to a God who hears us and who invites us to be intimately involved in His plan. For this reason, we pray in confidence knowing that our prayers are powerful and can bring about change in any circumstance.
There are no levels to this. We all can enter prayer with a posture of trust, openness, and faith, believing that God can do far more than we could even ask or imagine. It’s not about our circumstance, it’s about our heart stance.
- Prayer expresses trust in God
- Prayer deepens fellowship to God
- Prayer allows collaboration with God
- Prayer releases the kingdom of God
Why We Fast
The goal of fasting is to draw near to God. It hits the reset button of our soul and renews us from the inside out. Fasting enables us to celebrate the goodness and mercy of God. It prepares our hearts for all the good things God desires to bring into our lives.
“Fasting helps us to express, to deepen, and to confirm the resolution that we are ready to sacrifice anything, even ourselves, to attain the Kingdom of God.” – Scot McKnight.
When deciding on a fast, we encourage you to seek God in prayer and follow what the Holy Spirit leads you to do.
Complete Fast
In this type of fast, you drink only liquids, typically water with light juices as an option.
Selective Fast
This type of fast involves removing certain elements from your diet. One example of a selective fast is the Daniel Fast, during which you remove meat, sweets, and bread from your diet and consume water and juice for fluids and fruits and vegetables for food.
Partial Fast
This fast is sometimes called the “Jewish Fast” and involves abstaining from eating any type of food in the morning and afternoon. This can either correlate to specific times of the day, such as 6:00 am to 3:00 pm, or from sunup to sundown.
Soul Fast
This fast is a great option if you do not have much experience fasting food, have health issues that prevent you from fasting food, or if you wish to refocus certain areas of your life that are out of balance. For example, you might choose to stop using social media or watching television for the duration of the fast and then carefully bring that element back into your life in healthy doses at the conclusion of the fast.
