WHEN DO YOU PRAY?

YOU PRAY WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THE LORD

YOU PRAY WHEN YOU SPEAK TO THE LORD

YOU PRAY WHEN YOU PRAISE HIM OR THANK HIM

YOU PRAY WHEN YOU SING TO HIM

BUT DO YOU HAVE A TIME THAT YOU HAVE SEPARATED JUST TO PRAY?

AS A CHURCH FOR THE PAST 6 YEARS WE HAVE SEPARATED MONDAY NIGHTS AS CHURCH PRAYER TIME.

1. MOST DO NOT SEPARATE A DAILY PRAYERTIME SO THIS IS A WAY THAT YOU CAN AT THE VERY LEAST SEPARATE A WEEKLY PRAYERTIME.

2. WHY IS THIS SO IMPORTANT.
   1. I GET DIRECTION FOR MY SPIRITUAL LIFE
   2. I GET RENEWED VISION
   3. I GET TO KNOW GOD MORE
   4. I GET SPIRITUAL STRENGTH TO CONTINUE

3. WE ARE NOT ALL CALLED TO A MINISTRY OF PRAYER BUT WE ALL ARE CALLED TO PRAY.
   1. THERE IS A MINISTRY OF PRAYER THAT WE CALL INTERCESSION. GOD IS RAISING UP INTERCESORS WITH GIFTS OF FAITH TO DO SPIRITUAL WARFARE, MOVE MOUNTAINS AND LIFT UP THE PASTOR AND LEADERSHIP OF THE CHURCH.
   2. THESE ARE THE AARONS WHO LIFT UP THE PASTORS ARMS SO THAT THE JOSHUAS CAN DEFEAT THE ENEMIES.
4. JESUS KNEW THAT WE WOULD PRAY. HE HIMSELF IS OUR MODEL FOR PRAYER.
   1. PRAYER COMES FROM A DESIRE TO FELLOWSHIP WITH GOD
   2. THE DISCIPLES SAW SOMETHING THEY WANTED
   3. JESUS GAVE A MODEL PRAYER
