Part one of this series focused on the fact that God does not change and still performs miracles for His children who pray in accordance with His will and have the patience to wait for their appointed time! Since most Christians do not see the power of God unless they pray, this sermon is going to begin by stressing the importance of creating heart building habits of prayer into our lives. Carving out the time to pray and finding a special place free from distractions is key to developing heart felt prayers that allows one to hear and reflect on the gentle whispers of God! While one should not legalistically follow a regime for prayer, there is much to be said about intentionally and joyfully setting aside time for spiritual growth through prayer. The second part of this sermon is going to focus on a model of prayer called ACTS. When we pray we are to begin with reverence to God, then confess our sins, give thanks and lastly ask God to help others and us to handle life tribulations and to become more like Jesus. The sermon will finish with a brief look at mountain moving prayer, the kind that one is so busy rejoicing in what God is about to do that all mountains of doubt are crushed!
