Is. 59:1 ¶ Behold, the LORD’S hand is not shortened, that it cannot
save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: 2 But your
iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have
hid his face from you, that he will not hear.

Talking to God
#
Psalm 77:1-3,
Introduction
There is an old song that says, Just a little talk Jesus makes it right!
God is a living person. We often turn to another person. God sets there
ignored, and He is the one that can actually do something about our
situation! He is the one that actually has the power to solve the
problem!
Sweet hour of Prayer

Plea for Intervention
#
Psalm 79:1-4
Introduction
There are a lot of similarities between Psalm 74, and Psalm 79. They are
both Psalms of Asaph. Both talk about the problems and persecution that
happens to Israel. In some regards they are parallel Psalms.
The Psalm has a lot of reasoning with God in it. They are well reasoned,
thought out statements. They are not just emotional statements, made in
the heat of the moment.

What to do when you are overwhelmed
#
Psalm 102:1-12
Introduction
The Psalmist is overwhelmed here, but not because of a personal problem. It would seem in looking at it all, the Psalmist is concerned primarily with a national issue.
It would do us good, to be so heartbroken, grief stricken over the sin of our country, that we had this kind of a heart!

Productive Prayer
#
James 5:13-20
Introduction
So far, we have covered: “The Power of Prayer”,
“The Potential of Prayer”, “The Person of Prayer”, and on Sunday night,
though not part of this series, it certainly fits with it, I covered
“When God Answers: NO.”
There are many passages on prayer in the Bible, we have not even
scratched the surface of prayer. However, you hardly can consider the
topic of prayer, without considering this passage in James.

God’s Answer: No
#
2 Corinthians 12
Introduction
On Wednesday nights I have been preaching on prayer. We have talked
about the Potential of Prayer, the Person of Prayer. There are many NT
verses that tell us to ask great things of God. There are many times in
my life I have asked great things of God, and God has not provided what
I asked for. Matter of fact, there are times that God has just flat out
denied my request.

Person of Prayer
#
Mark 11:20-26
Introduction
I didn’t anticipate having a gap two week gap in these messages, but the
Lord knows.
Last time, we looked at this passage, I preached on the Potential of
Prayer: 1. Disaster’s Solved, 2. Diseases Healed 3. Dead Raised 4.
Demons Cast out.
Tonight we are going to look at the Person of Prayer.
I. Person of Faith
#
A. Whosoever - Is not a special person (23) “whosoever shall say”
#
1. Who it is not:
#
-
- It is not a favorite child
- It is not a gifted ability to ask in prayer.
- It is not a saint, or Mary
- It is not limited to men, or women
- It is not limited to preachers
2. “Whosoever” = anyone
#
B. Where our Faith is placed (22)
#
1. Where faith is not to be:
#
- Faith is not to be in a church
- Faith is not to be in clergy, leadership
2. Where faith is to be:
#
Genesis 18:14 “^14\ ^Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time
appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and
Sarah shall have a son.”

Potential of Prayer
#
Mark 11:20-24
Introduction
Last week, I started a short series of messages on the subject of
Prayer. The message was entitled Power of Prayer and our text was
Ephesians 6:18
^18\ ^Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit,
and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all
saints; - Eph 6:18
I believe we only scratched the surface of the Power of Prayer, and I
want to further expound, and I would that we can see the Potential of
Prayer. What are things that can be accomplished through prayer? What
things should we pray about?

Power in Prayer
#
Ephesians 6:17-20, 18*
Introduction
The context of Ephesians 6 we are given a list of the Armour of God. We
are not going to look at the armor of God tonight, but understand that
is the context in which our text is given. It is closely tied to and
related to that context.
As a society, it would seem that sin has increased, and our nation has
become more wicked, not more godly. The moral fiber of our society, is
literally falling apart. Is that our failure? I don’t have to belabor or
argue the point, it is clear and obvious.
