Holy Spirit, Local Church, Prayer

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 35:44 — 65.4MB)

Praying can be difficult at any time, especially when we’re praying out loud with others. But God has given us his Spirit to help us. The Holy Spirit convinces us of who we are in Christ, corrects our prayers before they reach the Father, and initiates the conversation through his inspired Word. The Spirit is the reason Johnny (and Jenni) can pray. Be sure to stick around till the end of the episode as Mike and Matthew close it out with some practical helps for young brothers who want to start praying publicly in the local church.

Scriptures Referenced:
Rom 8:15-17, 26-27; Eph 6:17-18; 2Sam 7:27

In this third episode on Psalm 25, Mike opens up a can of worms, contrasting what he calls the blindfold view of the will of God with the guidebook view. Which view do you think is more biblical?

D.A. Carson says, “just as we allow God’s words to reform our theology and our behaviour, let us let it also reform our praying.” The prison prayers of Paul, of which this passage in Ephesians is one, are a treasure trove of spiritual wealth, and a valuable lesson on how to pray. But the prayers reveal not only the spiritual maturity of Paul, but the desires of God’s heart for his people.

Scriptures Referenced: Eph 1:15-19; Eph 3:14-21; Php 1:3-11; 4:6; Col 1:3-9

Prayer can be hard work, and we need all the help we can get. One thing that helps is understanding how prayer relates to two other activities: reading the Bible and meditating. In this episode we go through a little poem that explains how it works: Before I read I pray / Before I pray I read / If in between I meditate / My heart knows what to say.

Scriptures Referenced: Jude 20-21; John 15:5; Mat 11:28; Ps 86:11, 90:14, 119:18, 36; Jam 1:19; Mark 2

Psalm 20:4 says “May he grant you your heart’s desire and fulfill all your plans!” Could that verse be addressing us? To tell us that God wants to give us all that our heart desires? No, it’s ultimately speaking about the Lord Jesus, which is far better, because the Lord Jesus gets all that his heart desires, and what his heart desires is….YOU! Psalm 20 gives us three life hacks for prayer: (1) a new joy in prayer; (2) a new confidence in prayer; and (3) a new way to pray.

Scriptures Referenced: Ps 20; John 16:23-24; 17:24
