" Now in Psalms 35:28, "my tongue shall 02:54 "speak of Thy praise all day long. " 02:56 In Psalms 50:23," Whoever offers praise glorifies Me. " 03:01 So we should learn it developed the attitude of praise 03:05 first thing in the morning because we should set aside 03:09 a special time and a special place for spending quality 03:14 time with God in prayer. 03:16 Now the second main area is thanksgiving. 03:21 We said that Thanksgiving is none other than acknowledging 03:24 the blessings that God gives and bestows upon us on a 03:28 daily basis and there are four main areas that we want to 03:32 thank God, we want to thank Him for a physical blessing, 03:36 we want to thank Him for material blessing, we want to 03:40 thank Him for a mental blessing, 03:41 and for a social and spiritual blessing. 03:44 So God has been good to us in these four areas. 03:48 And we base that on Luke 2:52 because Jesus was holistic 03:54 in His growth and development. 03:57 So we want to make sure we learn to thank God for 04:00 at least one item in those particular areas. 04:04 A physical blessing, a mental blessing, a social 04:07 and a spiritual blessing. 04:10 Bible says in 1 Thessalonians 5:18, "in everything 04:16 "give thanks for this is the will of God in 04:19 "Christ Jesus concerning you. " 04:21 So we see now the importance of offering thanksgiving. 04:25 Then thirdly we need to talk about the importance of 04:29 confession, and we said that confession has three main 04:34 areas, 1. We confess all known sin to God. 04:39 The Bible says, 1 John 1:7 the Bible says in 1 John 1:7 04:47 "but if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we 04:52 "have fellowship one with another and the blood of Jesus 04:57 "Christ, His Son, cleanses us from all sin. " 05:00 The Bible says the blood of Jesus Christ's will cleanse 05:04 us from all sin, but we have to confess our sins in order 05:08 to be cleansed and the Bible says in 1 John 1:9 05:13 "if we confess" the word confess simply means to 05:18 acknowledge and to agree, "if we confess our sins He is 05:23 "faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse 05:28 "us from all unrighteousness. " 05:31 So we confess our sins to God and then we said, based on 05:38 James 5:16 that we confess our faults to our fellow man. 05:44 James 5:16, "confession your faults one to another and 05:51 "pray for one another that ye may be healed. The 05:54 "effective fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. " 05:58 So we learn that we do not confess our sins to a man, 06:04 we confess our sins to God and then we confess all of 06:08 our thoughts one to another and we followed the Council 06:15 that Jesus gave in Matthew 18:15-22 to settle offenses. 06:19 And then we said thirdly that the third area of confession 06:24 is learning how to confess Christ to the world. 06:27 That God will give us the power and the ability to 06:31 confess, we follow the example of Jesus in 06:34 Matthew 10:32,33 and now we move on to the fourth area 06:41 in the seven main areas of prayer. 06:44 The fourth main area that we want to focus on is 06:49 intercession, intercession is simply learning how to pray 06:54 for other people, being concerned about the cares and 06:59 burdens of other people and presenting them to God as 07:03 if they were your very own. 07:05 I like to define intercession as this, intercession is 07:10 simply presented the cares and burdens to God of other 07:15 people as an expression of agape love and compassion. 07:19 And beloved we should show compassion for other people. 07:23 We ought to present them to God in prayer, 07:27 and their concerns. 07:29 Let's see what the Bible says about intercession. 07:32 As we said now praise acknowledges who God is, you can 07:36 praise God in a song, you can praise God through reading 07:40 of the Scriptures, you can praise God for your 07:44 conversation, Thanksgiving is thanking God for the 07:47 blessings that He gives you in your physical, mental, 07:49 social, and spiritual life. 07:52 Also confession is confessing all sins to God, confessing 07:56 your faults one to another, but confessing Christ before the 08:01 world in terms of witnessing and missionary endeavors. 08:05 But now intercession is praying for other people. 08:09 Prayer that is offered up on the behalf of another person. 08:13 So what we want to do now is look at some scripture 08:17 references as they pertain to intercession. 08:20 The Bible says and 1 Timothy 2:1, notice what the 08:25 Bible says now concerning intercession. 08:29 1 Timothy 2:1 the apostle Paul says, "I exhort therefore 08:33 "that first of all supplications prayers, intercession's, 08:37 "and giving of thanks be made for all men. " 08:41 Isn't that wonderful beloved? 08:42 Even the apostle Paul believed in intercession. 08:46 The Bible says also in Romans 1:9 and you will want to 08:52 write this down, notice the apostle Paul says, 08:54 "for God is my witness whom I serve with my spirit in the 08:59 "Gospel of His Son, that without ceasing I make mention of 09:04 "you always my prayers. " Then also he relates to the same 09:09 thing in Ephesians 6:18,19. 09:14 Now remember Jesus is our model for intercession. 09:20 Because the Bible teaches us that after Jesus was 09:25 crucified, the Bible said He ascended up into heaven to 09:29 begin interceding in our behalf. 09:32 The Bible says in Romans 8:34 it says, "who is he that 09:37 "condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is 09:41 "also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, 09:45 "who also makes intercession for us. 09:48 Beloved it is so good to know that we have an intercessor, 09:53 in heaven, Jesus Christ the righteous one. 09:56 The Bible says in 1 John 2:1 it says, "my little children 10:02 "these things I write to you that you sin not, and if 10:07 "any man sin we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus 10:11 "Christ the righteous. He is the propitiation for our 10:15 "sins and not for us only but also the sins 10:19 "of the whole world. " 10:21 So we have an intercessor in heaven, somebody who believes 10:25 in intercession, somebody who will present our prayers 10:29 in our concerns to God as if they were His very own. 10:34 We can praise God for that, remember now that the Lords 10:38 prayer, and we have looked at this on other occasions, 10:43 but the Lords prayer is an excellent example of 10:47 intercession, let's look at it briefly. 10:49 Matthew 6:9-13, notice how Jesus was teaching the 10:56 disciples that this prayer we call the Lord's prayer is 11:03 really the disciples prayer, it was teaching them 11:07 intercession and notice what Jesus says. 11:09 "In this manner, therefore pray," notice he said, 11:15 " Our Father which is in heaven. Hollowed be Your name. 11:19 "Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is 11:22 "in heaven. " Then he says in verse 11, "give us this 11:26 "day our daily bread. ", in verse 12 he says, "and forgive 11:30 "us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. " 11:33 In verse 13 he says, "and do not lead us into temptation, 11:37 "but deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the 11:41 "Kingdom and the power and the glory for ever. Amen!" 11:45 So Jesus truly was the best example for intercession. 11:49 Now of course we could go throughout the Bible and we can 11:54 find Bible characters who were mighty intercessors. 11:57 For instance there was the leader of the children of 12:01 Israel out of Egypt, there was Moses. 12:04 He was a mighty man of intercession, because you see 12:07 many times the people rebelled they complained and murmured 12:11 against God, but Moses interceded and pleaded in their 12:15 behalf and God many times changed His mind of what 12:18 He was going to do. 12:19 Beloved we need to have intercessors in these last days. 12:23 People who would develop a habit of praying specific 12:27 blessings upon other people. 12:30 Beloved remember intercession you could pray for a member 12:34 of your immediate family or church member or someone on 12:37 your job, anybody who needs prayer. 12:40 Often times you will meet people who will say would you 12:44 please remember me in prayer? 12:46 Or please pray for me and one of the things you want to 12:50 remember, that you must always do, and that is if 12:53 you have them and that is to pray for your enemies. 12:57 That's right beloved, that is how you deal with your 13:00 enemies, people who don't like you, people who make 13:03 life difficult for you. 13:05 The Bible says in Matthew 5:44, 45. 13:11 Notice what Jesus said about praying for your enemies. 13:16 "But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those that 13:21 "curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for 13:26 "those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you 13:30 "maybe the sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes 13:35 "His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain 13:39 "on the just and on the unjust. " 13:42 Isn't that wonderful beloved, then also in Romans 12:17-21 13:46 we have counsel from the apostle Paul on how to deal with 13:51 our enemies and the Bible says in Romans 12:17-21 13:57 he said, "we pay no one evil for evil. Have regard for 14:00 "good things in the sight of all men. If it is possible, 14:04 "as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. 14:07 "Beloved, do not avenge your- selves, but rather give place 14:11 "to wrath; for it is written, vengeance is Mine, I will 14:14 "repay, says the Lord. Therefore if your enemy is 14:19 "hungry, feed him;" the apostle Paul says, "if he is thirsty, 14:22 "give him a drink; for in so doing you will heap coals of 14:26 "fire on his head. Do not be overcome by evil, but 14:29 "overcome evil with good. " 14:32 So therefore beloved we want to learn to intercede 14:35 in behalf of our enemies and God will bless you real good. 14:39 Now later on in a future program we are going to go on to 14:43 greater detail on intercession. 14:46 Now the fifth area of the main areas of prayer is petition 14:50 now petition is where you and I learn to talk to God 14:55 about everything that concerns us, everything that 15:00 concerns you and remember now Jesus says in Matthew 7:7. 15:04 He said, "ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and you 15:08 "will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. " 15:11 He said also over in John 15:7 a very important point that 15:16 we do not want to forget it. He said, "if you abide in 15:21 "Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you 15:25 desire, and it shall be done for you. " 15:29 So you see we are to abide by the words of God, the Bible. 15:33 Jesus did say, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by 15:38 every word that proceeded out of the mouth of God. " 15:41 So you want to bring to God any and everything that 15:44 pertains to you, you want to talk to God about your job, 15:48 about your family, about your recreation, about your 15:52 goals in life, about your victories, about your sorrows, 15:55 anything and everything that is on your mind. 15:58 Remember my listening friend, it takes time to do that and 16:01 that is why you need to have a set time as we discussed 16:05 based on Psalms 55:16, 17. 16:09 You need to have a set place for prayer as we discussed 16:13 based on Matthew 6:6. 16:16 You ought to have a routine, a schedule as we talked about 16:20 based on the Ecclesiastes 3:1-7. 16:25 My viewing audience I want you to understand that prayer 16:28 is key and important so learn how to petition God. 16:32 How to talk to God about the things that concern you. 16:35 And as we said Jesus taught the importance of petitions 16:39 and that is why we read Luke 6:12. 16:43 Many times He went out into the mountains and spent all night 16:46 in prayer, He was alone with God. 16:48 The Bible says in Mark 1:35, 36, He got up early in the 16:53 morning a great while before daybreak and departed unto 16:58 a solitary place and there He prayed. 17:01 He spent time in secret prayer alone with God. 17:05 So much so that the disciples came looking for Jesus and 17:09 he said Master all men seek thee, why? 17:13 Because they saw the results of His prayers. 17:16 When Jesus prayed things happen. 17:18 I want you to understand beloved, that when you pray 17:21 things are going to happen and you need to learn to 17:24 guard well your prayer time. 17:27 So many things are going to come in to distract you 17:30 from spending time with God in prayer. 17:33 So beloved, learn now to divide your life into sections 17:38 to pray over during your petition time. 17:40 Pray over your family, your job, your goals, personal 17:45 ideals, and your health. 17:47 I believe that God is going to bless you tremendously. 17:52 Now let us look at area number 6, silence and meditation. 17:57 This is very, very important beloved. 18:00 I want you to get this now, what we have been talking 18:03 about, praise, Thanksgiving, confession, intercession, 18:07 petition, and now silence and meditation. 18:10 You see what needs to happen is that we need to develop 18:14 a habit of listening to the voice of God and watching for 18:18 His leading in our lives. 18:20 So many times we want to tell God everything but we don't 18:23 want to listen, but I want you to get into the habit 18:26 of listening to God. 18:28 The Bible says, and write down the scripture references. 18:31 Psalms 62:5 says, "wait thou only upon God. " 18:37 Other words beloved you speak and ask God a question, 18:40 wait for an answer. 18:42 God will talk back to you. 18:44 The Bible says in Psalms 85:8, "I will hear what God, 18:49 "the Lord will speak. " 18:51 That means that when you speak God listens, but when 18:54 God speaks you ought to listen, you ought to hear what 18:58 God has to say. 19:00 Beloved I want to share this with you, God will talk 19:03 back to you if you wait and watch and look for an answer. 19:08 The Bible says in Psalms 46:10, 19:12 "be still and know that I am God. " 19:15 When you get into your secret prayer closet and you shut 19:19 the door, Jesus said in Matthew 6:6, He says, 19:24 "when thou has shut the door pray to your Father which 19:28 "is in secret and the Father which seeth in secret shall 19:32 "reward thee openly. " 19:35 Viewing participant, God will speak to you. 19:41 Now an example is found in the book of Joshua 5:14. 19:45 What did Joshua say? He said, "what sayeth my Lord unto 19:49 "his servant. " Josh went out into the fields to pray. 19:54 He was getting ready to plan his attack on Jericho. 19:59 He didn't know what to do, so he went aside and went out 20:02 into the fields, while he was out there praying Jesus came. 20:06 He said what sayeth my Lord unto His servant. 20:11 Then we have another example in 1 Samuel 3:7-11 20:17 where Samuel says, "speak Lord for Your servant hears. " 20:21 And that should be your reply as well. 20:24 When you spend time praising God and thanking Him and 20:28 confessing all known sin, and interceding and praying 20:32 in behalf of other people, and petitioning Him beloved 20:36 that you learn to listen to God, talk back to you. 20:40 I want you to know that He will talk to you. 20:43 You want to learn to meditate upon God. 20:46 Meditate on the word of God, you will be surprised how 20:50 God will fill your mind with such pure and wholesome 20:55 thoughts, Psalms 63:6 says, "meditate on Me in the night 20:59 "watches. " Incidentally now God speaks to us in many 21:02 ways if we look for an listen to Him, He will speak. 21:07 Now in the Power of Prayer book there is a beautiful 21:12 chapter in here which is entitled God's Voice To Man. 21:17 It shares a number of ways of how God will speak to us. 21:21 How we can listen to Him. 21:24 We can hear God's voice in Scripture and from our 21:27 conscience you can hear God the voice of duty. 21:30 We can hear God speaking to us from the power of the 21:34 Holy Spirit, God speaks to us from nature and so beloved 21:37 as we talked to God, we can learn to listen to Him and 21:41 find out what He wants to share with us. 21:45 Now remember meditation is simply personifying the Word 21:49 of God and applying it to ourselves. 21:52 So I want you to get into the habit of putting yourself 21:55 into text of Scripture and in focusing your mind on that. 21:59 Let me give you a quick and brief example of this. 22:03 In Proverbs 3:5, 6, it's a beautiful text of Scripture. 22:09 Here is what it says, "trust in the Lord with all thy 22:13 "heart. " So when you pray you should say Father I will 22:17 trust in You with all of my heart. 22:20 "I'm not going to lean unto my own understanding. " 22:22 In all that I have to do today, I'm going to acknowledge 22:26 You and I want You Father "to direct my paths", I want You 22:30 to direct me where I should go. 22:32 So beloved you will benefit tremendously from this. 22:36 The last area of the seven main areas of prayer that we 22:40 want to focus on its commitment. 22:42 Commitment is simply learning to trust God with all that 22:47 you have said, that is right beloved, learning to trust 22:51 God and not worry about it because you see God is rich 22:55 in houses and land. 22:56 He owns the cattle of a thousand hills, He knows all there 23:00 is about you and the Bible says in Psalms 139 that 23:03 He knew all about you before you were even created. 23:06 Isn't that an awesome thought beloved? 23:09 God is concerned about us, so now look at Psalms 37:3-5 23:18 the Bible says, "trust in the Lord and do good so shall 23:25 "you dwell in the land where you shall be fed. Delight 23:30 "in the Lord and He shall give you the desires of your 23:34 "heart, commit your way unto the Lord and trust also in 23:39 "Him and He shall bring it to pass. " 23:41 Oh yes beloved, learning to trust, delight, and commit by 23:46 trusting God, you see God has given us precious promises 23:52 in His word, and the Bible says in Romans 12:4, it says, 23:59 excuse me in Romans 12:3 it says, "but to think soberly 24:05 "according as God has dealt to every man the measure of 24:10 "faith. " And faith comes by hearing the word of God. 24:15 Hebrews 11:6 says, "for he that comes to God must first 24:20 "believe that He is and that He is a reward or of them 24:25 "that diligently seek Him. " 24:26 We are going to commit our- selves to God, we are going to 24:29 believe that whatever God has promised to do, He will do 24:32 God will show us what to do. 24:35 The apostle Peter says in 2 Peter 1:4, "God has given 24:40 "to us precious promises. " 24:42 The apostle John says in 1 John 2:25, "this is the promise 24:48 "that He has promised us even eternal life. " 24:51 My viewing participant, never doubt the word of God. 24:55 Realize that Adam and Eve doubted what God said, 24:59 but we want to practice positive thinking about God. 25:03 Remember Jesus is our example in all things, He got the 25:08 victory in the Garden of Gethsemane, He made a commitment 25:12 He said Father nevertheless not my will but thy will be 25:16 done, He did it three times beloved. 25:18 Now I want to make sure you understand this now. 25:22 We have been focusing on seven main areas of prayer. 25:25 We've talked about praise, which acknowledge is who God is, 25:29 and what He is. 25:31 We've been talking about thanksgiving, thanksgiving is 25:34 the blessing that God gives and bestows upon us daily. 25:36 We have been talking about confession, confessing all 25:39 known sin to God, confessing or faults one to another, 25:42 but also confessing Christ before the world. 25:46 We have been talking intercession, praying in behalf 25:49 of other people, people who have problems and issues. 25:53 We have been talking about petitions, presenting our 25:56 request to God, everything that concerns are physical, 25:58 mental, social, and spiritual well-being. 26:01 We've been talking about silence and meditation, learning 26:05 how to listen to God talk to us. 26:07 And last but not least we have been talking about 26:09 commitment, learning how to trust God and believe that 26:13 God will work it out if we just trust Him beloved. 26:16 He will work it out. 26:18 So beloved I want to thank you for tuning in and studying 26:21 this particular series on the Seven Main Areas of Prayer 26:25 part two, the next telecast is entitled, 26:28 Jesus's Victory Is in My Victory. 26:32 So what I want you to do now is I want you to write down 26:35 our mailing address which is: 26:52 It's our prayer that you call us and we will do what 26:55 we can to be a blessing to you. 26:57 Let us pray thanking God for the blessings we received in 27:01 learning the Seven Main Areas of Prayer. 27:03 Let's pray the Lord's prayer. 27:05 Our Father which art in heaven, hollowed be Thy name. 27:08 Thy kingdom come, thy will be done. 27:10 On earth as it is in heaven. 27:13 Give us this day our daily bread, 27:15 forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. 27:17 Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. 27:20 For Thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory 27:23 for ever, Amen! 27:25 God bless you beloved and thank you so much for tuning 27:28 in, please tell a friend about 27:30 the Dynamics of the Science of Prayer series 27:32 here on 3 Angels Broadcasting Network. 27:37 Please call us if you would like us to come into your 27:40 area and present this exciting seminar and we know 27:43 God will bless you.
