prayer Life series #7
The climax of Jesus’s reverent submission to the Father in prayer came in Gethsemane, with these words in Matthew 26:29 “Nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will.” This is the ultimate, transparent moment of reverent submission in godly fear in Jesus’ life of prayer. This is also the moment that first comes to mind when we read the summary of Jesus’ prayer life in Hebrews 5:7-9, when we see Jesus offering “vehement cries and tears to Him who…
Prayer Life series #6
In Mark 1:35 we read this about Jesus: “Now in the morning, having risen a long time before daylight, He went out an departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed.” In its context, this a remarkable thing that Jesus did. In the verses just before this, we read that Jesus had just put in an extremely full day and evening of ministry in Capernaum, teaching, preaching, healing, and casting out demons. It would be an exhausting schedule for…

Prayer is not for the purpose of getting God to help us, the purpose of prayer is to get us in line with what God is about to do. Prayer is God’s invitation to enter His throne room so He can spread His agenda over our hearts. To see this in action, there is nothing better than to observe the prayer life of Jesus. At the center of Jesus’s prayer life was the fact that He sought the Father’s purposes, activities,…

In Luke 11 the disciples asked Jesus to teach them to pray and He gave them a brief model or pattern for prayer. We call this the Lord’s Prayer. It is not some magical formula that we can repeat and expect miracles. It is a concise portrayal of the foundational truths that should be in our hearts and minds as we pray individually, as we pray as families, and as we pray as a church. Every phrase is this prayer…

Jesus understood that every believer needs to maintain this fellowship to be able to serve and honor our Lord in this world. He was so deeply convinced of this that He made this request in John 17:21 on His followers behalf: “that they all may be one, as You Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us.” Many other passages illustrate the same unity and fellowship we are supposed to have…
Prayer Life series # 2
Jesus’ intimacy with the Father in His prayer life was distinctively linked to the Holy Spirit, because He knew the Spirit’s activity was the key to God’s anointing and equipping for service in His kingdom. The first time we see this link between Jesus, His prayers, the Holy Spirit, and the closeness of Father and Son is His baptism in the Jordan River in Luke 3:21-22 “Now when all the people were baptized, and when Jesus also had been baptized,…

Hebrews 5:7 “In the days of His flesh [Jesus] offered up definite, special petitions (for that which He not only wanted but needed) and supplications with strong crying and tears to Him Who was always able to save Him from death, and He was heard because of His reverence toward God (His godly fear, His piety, in that He shrank from the horrors of separation from the bright presence of the Father).” This passage in Hebrews tells us that in…
