A message from Min. David Pawson about prayer to the Father.
- For a Christian, prayer is never private.
- For a Christian, prayer is not meditation, but conversation.
- Prayer is simple. It is a child telling his Father what he needs.
- Prayer is a privilege.
- Our goal should be to develop a relationship with God and not ritual for God via prayer.
- For many, prayer is a matter of fortune; but for Christians it is a matter of faith.
- Seven requirements for praying in faith:
- I must believe that God is there. The Bible is indifferent to whether you "feel" He is there or not, but you must have faith.
- I must believe that God is personal; that He is someone and not something.
- I must believe that God hears me.
- I must believe that God will listen to my prayer.
- I must believe that God will reply.
- I must believe that God can act and that prayer can changes things as well as people.
- I must believe that God will give what we ask for.
- Don't try and "feel" your faith.
- Don't try and force your faith.
- Stimulate your faith by listening to other answers to prayer and reading the Bible.
- Stretch your faith by praying within your faith.
- Your faith needs to meet God's Fatherhood.
