Scripture: Isaiah 64:4-8

Topic: Prayer

Notes:

- He acts for those who wait for Him- You must stir yourself up to reconnect with God- If we really believed something happens when we pray, wouldn’t we do more of it?- We get discouraged when we don’t see immediate definable results- The greatest sin in the church is prayerlessness... other sins, sickness are prevalent because of and the state of our country is due to prayerlessness- It is our call to pray without ceasing- The disciples were filled with the Holy Spirit to go out and affect a group of people- Cornelius-while he was praying, God was speaking to people- Peter’s vision-what God called clean, he was calling dirty- Prayer is not just to get out of trouble or to get by a little easier- We are sometimes focused so much on personal situations that we can’t see God moving outside of that- The Lord’s prayer... don’t get comfortable with God or you lose respect; we are too familiar... we need a revival of fear and respect- There are people around the world suffering for Christ; we haven’t truly suffered- The greatest sin the human race has committed against itself is slavery, human trafficking- Pray for the persecuted and martyred Christians around the world
