“Develop A Prayer Life - Part 3” Taught by Pastor Earnest Claiborn, Sr.

 Don’t Play, Let’s Pray…

* According to Jesus, One hour appears to be the normal Prayer period.

   

  -Matthew 26:40-“And he cometh unto the disciples, & findeth them

  asleep, & saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me 1 hour?”.

* Caution: Don’t “Over-shoot your faith” by Jumping from not praying to

   praying an hour. You have to progressively work your way up to that.

* Many of the Jews Prayed three times a Day. This should guarantee 

   that you don’t go a day without praying.

   -Psalms 55:17- “Evening, and morning, & at noon, will I pray, and cry 

   aloud: and he shall hear my voice”.

* I believe today we should improve upon that pattern by Praying through-

   out the whole day by developing a “Praying Spirit”. 

   -I Thess. 5:17- “Praying without ceasing”.

* This is not an “on your knees” type of praying, but an “in your spirit”

   type of Praying.

* If any body should Pray, Preachers should definitely Pray. Preachers 

   need Prayer to get Anointing from God. Anointing Destroys Yokes…

* Prayerless Preaching might stir Emotions, but Anointed Preaching Saves, 

   Convicts, Heals, Delivers, Set free, and more.

* Prayerless Preaching causes Spiritual Decay and makes Spiritual Midgets.

* Pray-ers are given Wisdom, Knowledge, and Revelations that those

   who fail or refuse to Pray will never get.

* Warning: Carnal Christians will usually oppose you, because your

   prayer life condemn their lack of prayer.

* All Serious Prayers need to become Serious Bible Students, because the

   more you know about God’s Word the more you can use God’s Word in

   Prayer & be assure that God will hear & answer your prayer…(Discuss…)
