I Have Prayer on the Brain!

This weekend I get to do one of my favorite things in ministry! We are heading to our 2nd prayer escape of the year! The Lord is doing great and awesome things at IMPACT CHURCH. I see such maturity occurring in the lives of our leaders! We are poised to see and be a part of the hand of God sweeping across both Dade and Broward counties.

Our prayer escape begins tomorrow night (Friday night) and will last through Saturday afternoon. And afterwards, we will engage in our 2nd “Need a Miracle?” Sunday services! We can sense God about to do great things in our midst! I’m super excited!!

I have prayer on the brain this morning…. so here are some thoughts on prayer. Let your faith arise and let’s seek Him with all our hearts!

• There is no divine intervention that occurs in the affairs of men except to the response of prayer.

• We lean too much on the “sovereignty of God” concept. Any definition of the sovereignty of God that makes us irresponsible needs to be replaced with the correct view of scripture. In other words, though God is sovereign, we have a responsibility to connect with His sovereignty – and that only occurs through prayer.

• We have a responsibility to know our assignment. And that assignment will not be known outside of prayer – Therefore we have a responsibility to PRAY.

• God made the heavens for himself and the earth for men to have dominion over with delegated authority. Our delegated authority is prayer.

• Our prayer is simply engaging in the contract GOD has with us, in stewarding the earth we live in.

• God can still do what he pleases; he is sovereign… but limits Himself in the affairs of men, unless someone prays.

• Not even the Messiah was sent unless someone prayed… Anna and Simeon prayed for him to come. (Luke 2)

• Even for the return of the Lord – Revelation says The Spirit and the Bride say come… (A prayer) We must pray it all in!

• We have the responsibility to interact with heaven, with God himself, to affect this world to become like His.

• This is the job we have been given and it is done only through prayer.
