Prayers : Part 13

This week Pastor Rick continued on in this series entitled "Prayers That God Always Answers". Pastor helped to further illustrate how we have been praying for the wrong things. He read a question from an individual that pointed out how a spouse was not changing, even after they have prayed continually for them.

Pastor Rick used this as an opportunity to continue to teach on the prayer of intercession. He further made it clear that in our walk with God, and our lives in general, we allow our "buts" to get in the way of doing what is right. Our "buts" are our excuses. "I know I should (pray, be patient, or be kind), but I (don't, can't wait, or give them a piece of my mind). We can see how these actions are contrary to God's Word, and how they do not get us the positive results out of life that we are all seeking.

Instead, we need to grasp the Word of God and change the way we conduct ourselves. As an alternative to using the "but" we should use, "so I do". We are guaranteed to see victory in areas of our lives we had previously seen defeat. Especially when we make sure that the "so I do" is in agreement with God's Word. For example, "I know I should (pray, be patient, or be kind), so I do!"

Change the way you speak. Change the way you pray. Change the way you live your life. God wants nothing but the best for you.
