Praying for Deliverance (1 of 6)
Series: Great Prayers of the Bible
Jim Perdue
2 Chronicles 20:5-12
Intro/Attention
There are three areas of focus for our church in 2018. These are not new or revolutionary concepts. They are just three things I want us to emphasize this year and beyond. We will focus on prayer, evangelism, and discipleship. I know these aren't new concepts or ideas but they are vitally important for spiritual growth.
We reach up to the Lord in prayer, we reach out to others in evangelism, and we reach in toward one another in discipleship. Today, I begin a series on prayer called, Great Prayers of the Bible. We will spend a few weeks searching the Bible for some of the most powerful prayers offered in the Old and New Testaments.
In 2 Chronicles 20 the Bible records the story of a man who faced such a dilemma. A formidable enemy was rapidly advancing to invade King Jehoshaphat's nation. As the massive army marched towards him, Jehoshaphat fearfully acknowledged that he had no strategy to face the crisis. He didn't have time to search the Scriptures, make an appointment with a Christian counselor, or wait for circumstances to work out. Jehoshaphat's story begins with confusion but ends in conquest because he learned what to do when he didn't know what to do--and so can you! Once you master the strategies Jehoshaphat used then you can apply them to every crisis your encounter. Allow me to read you the story...follow along with me in 2 Chronicles 20:5-12. READ TEXT
*I'll be honest; we really don't talk much about this guy named Jehoshaphat. In fact, I can remember the first time I heard about this king. I was in children's choir right here at Second Baptist Church. Mrs. Jan Morton was leading our kids choir and we were preparing for a brand new musical. At that age, I loved to sing and be a part of our church plays. You should be thankful I don't love to sing as much these days! I got to be King Jehoshaphat in the play. But he ...
