prayer school series 2010 - part 10 (God-initiated prayer)

Hubby taught the following during prayer school:
  1. God initiates
  2. Man receives
  3. Holy Spirit leads us to pray the most effective prayer
  4. God answers
  • Isaiah 55:8-11 “ For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways,” says the LORD. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.“ For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, and do not return there, but water the earth, and make it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater, So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.”
  • It starts from God, when we pray we know our prayers will be answered.
  • 1 John 5:14-15 “Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.”
    • “according to His will”
    • the important thing is knowing God’s will
    • "show us things to come'
  • John 16:13 “However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.”
