Title: What is Prayer?
Contents
♠The Bible (1 Corinthians 2:1-12)
01/ When I came to you, brethren, and preached the testimony of God, I did not do it in the beauty of words and wisdom.
02/ For I have determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.
03/ When I dwelt among you, I was weak, afraid, and terrified.
04/ My words and my preaching are not in persuasive words of wisdom, but only in the manifestation and power of the Holy Spirit.
05/ Your faith did not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God.
06/ But we speak wisdom among those who are perfect, not the wisdom of this world, nor the wisdom of the rulers of this world, which are about to pass away.
07/ But it speaks of the wisdom of God in mystery, which has been hidden, which God foreordained for our glory before the ages.
08/ This wisdom is not known by any ruler of this generation; if he had known he would not have crucified the Lord of glory
09/ As it is written, Eye has not seen, nor ear has heard, nor the heart of man has conceived of all that God has prepared for those who love him.
10/ But God has revealed this to us by the Holy Spirit, who searches all things, even the deep things of God.
11/ Who knows the circumstances of a man except the spirit that is within him? In the same way, no one knows the circumstances of God except the Spirit of God.
12/ We received not the spirit of the world, but the spirit that is from God, that we might know the things God has given us by grace.

♠ Introduction
▶What is God's answered prayer?
Prayer is not answered. God looks at the heart.
What can I do from today?
What must we do to pray that God answers prayers?
1. There is an order that God wants.
▶ This must be changed. There is a center that God is trying to give us. There should be our interest. You must change this order to receive an important response. So Jesus said, seek ye first his kingdom and his righteousness. Then all things will be added to you.
(1) Look at 7 RTs.
1) Joseph- He did not ask for success in Potiphar's house. Because Jehovah is with Joseph...this is different. If you do not change the order in the order that God wants, the answer will not come.
2) Moses - One day he received grace at Mount Horeb.
3) Samuel- He said he was lying next to the ark of the covenant. this is first 1 Samuel 3:19 Not a word Samuel said fell to the ground.
4) David- Psalm 23:1 Because the Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
▶Because it is okay for me to perish, let me be guided by God on the right path, because it is okay for me to suffer! Only then will you receive the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
5) Isaiah- The restoration of the nation is not the problem, but Emmanuel comes first.
▶ What is prayer? The surest definition of prayer is to enjoy Immanuel.
6) Paul- I did not tell Timothy to do great things, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ! this is first
(2) The Lord's Prayer
▶Matthew 6:32 He said that there is no need to ask for this or that.
There is only one prayer that the Lord taught us, asking that God's name be sanctified... The kingdom of God, God's will, lest we fall into temptation, forgive, and not fall into the evil one... daily bread. This means you can't ask for it.
▶Matthew 6:33 So, seek first his kingdom and righteousness.
(3) Prayer Titles of the Early Church
▶Receive the filling of the Holy Spirit. Then you will be a witness to the ends of the earth.
(4) Paul's prayer topics
1) Verses 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. Verses 9, 10, 11, 12 - In order to receive answers, the order must be changed. You must receive this grace first.
2. There are contents that God wants.
(1) Identity prayer- Children of God
1) Enjoy the blessings of Immanuel. It only works when you realize the Gospel.
2) He gave the authority to become children of God (David - Psalm 18:1, Psalm 27:1)
3) 3 types of identity - The work of the Holy Spirit (indwelling, guidance, and fullness of the Holy Spirit)
▶Meditate on prayer during prayer, read and meditate on the prayer notebook. The best prayer is to enjoy God, and the highest devotion prayer is to offer yourself to God.
(2) Authority prayer-
1) Satan is still alive and well - he follows me to fail (Like a roaring lion...he said he was hiding and shooting slashes. So pray for authority)
2) Four powers - bondage of darkness, mobilization of angels, presence of the kingdom of God, and conquering the world in search of disciples.
3) What happened when you prayed on time?
(3) Covenantal Prayer (Missionary Prayer)
1) Age - What does God want in this age?
2) 20 Strategies- 20 Strategies shown in the Bible are shown.
3) World Evangelization and Remnants
▶The only real prayer topic should be this.
3. Special case (problem) - God's plan is to change me.
(1) All-night prayer- If you pray all night to change yourself, a miracle will happen.
1) at 4:14 country changed
2) Acts 12:1-25 God sent an angel to open the door of miracles and break Herod.
3) 2 Kings 19:35 Breaks 185,000 when praying all night
(2) Fasting prayer- If you fast and pray to change yourself, a miracle will happen.
▶Change me in the real gospel! Help me to hold onto the real plan of God!
1) Acts 13:1-4 Paul fasted and prayed for God's guidance
(3) Unite prayer
4. Conclusion- What Happens When You Pray
(1) Spiritual events take place.
1) The work of the Holy Spirit
2) Angel Mobilization
3) Darkness strap
▶ These things happen at the same time.
(2) What happened when you prayed on time?
▶Daniel, Peter, Ananias...
(3) What happened when you prayed ignorantly?
▶Pray in the Holy Spirit without fail. I said this when I was breaking the power of Satan. When you pray ignorantly, the old forces of darkness are completely destroyed.
▶This is prayer. should not be missed
① You have to ask for the right thing first. You have to change the order.
②You have received the spirit of heaven, the spirit of adoption.
The center is the problem.
I pray in the name of Jesus that prayer answers begin today. Amen.
