The Value of Prayer - Part 2 (2 of 2)
Michael Romero
Introduction:
Last week we entered the study of the second value of Abiding in Christ which is the value of prayer.
We learned that the source of power for each believer and every church comes through the practice and discipline of prayer.
Lets review by turning to John 15:7 this morning.
7 "If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.
(NKJ)
7Si permanecéis en mí, y mis palabras permanecen en vosotros, pedid lo que queráis y os será hecho.
God is answering the prayers of those that are abiding in Christ through His Word. The most likely reason is that if the Word of God is in our hearts we are going to be asking the right things.
We learned how the first century church grew. They focused on the Word of God and on prayer. They did this continually. Our church must be focused on the same things if we want to grow in Christ. That is the reason we learn together and pray together ... so that we can grow up and mature in Christ together.
Acts 2:42
Acts 2:42 (NASB95)
42 They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.
42Y se dedicaban continuamente a las enseñanzas de los apóstoles, a la comunión, al partimiento del pan y a la oración.
We also learned that God is looking for intercessors in order to perform His will. Lets turn to Ezekiel 22:30-31 together.
Ezekiel 22:30-31 (NASB95)
30 "I searched for a man among them who would build up the wall and stand in the gap before Me for the land, so that I would not destroy it; but I found no one. 31 "Thus I have poured out My indignation on them; I have consumed them with the fire of My wrath; their way I have brought upon their heads," declares the Lord GOD.
30Busqué entre ellos alguno que levantara un muro y se pusiera en pie en la brecha delante de mí a favor de la tierra, para que yo no la destruyera, pe ...
