Title: God's Plan Comes Through Prayer
content addition>
God's plan is accomplished through prayer (Ezekiel 36:32-38)
Α. restoration of israel
(1) According to verse 35, the land that was in a desolate and desolate state, where the cities had fallen, will now become like the Garden of Eden, the walls will be built, and the inhabitants will come from all directions to build and prosper in the ruined place.
(2) When is that time? It is the time to repent (verse 33).
We must pray about God's plan (verse 37). In particular, it is to give all glory to God. Because when you fill it with many people, the world will see what God is doing (verse 38).
Β. Why does God make this amazing promise and tell us to pray for all of this to come true?
1. This is so that we may receive the joy and thrill of participating in God's great work through prayer.
(1) Although God is Almighty God, He wants to accomplish His work with us. Prayer is participating in God's great work.
(2) Prayer is answered, but God's name is revealed to the Gentiles. When we pray, amazing things happen (Jeremiah 33:2-3).
2. Through prayer, we can find ourselves right (verse 32).
(1) “Be ashamed and lament over your deeds.” What kind of person is a person who lives life wisely? Someone who knows what prayer is.
(2) Prayer is like a mirror that allows you to know yourself. Only those who pray can discover themselves correctly and discover the God who has prepared for us.
3. It is to make people with the ability to bear the blessings answered through prayer.
(1) If we receive what God has given us without prayer, we cannot bear it even if we give it.
(2) Once again, let's hold on to verse 37 "yet".
The early church performed many miracles of God through intercession. I hope that our church can also experience the existence of God through prayer and testify of God's name to unbelievers.
