Theme
Prayer is God’s way of inviting us into His global mission.
Biblical Foundation
Introduction
Prayer is a divine partnership between heaven and earth. It begins with God’s heart, flows through His Spirit, involves believers worldwide and finishes with Jesus.
How Prayer Works
- God the Father initiates His purposes for the world.
- The Holy Spirit stirs these purposes in the hearts of believers.
- Christians express these longings through prayer in Jesus’ name.
- The Holy Spirit also intercedes for us as Jesus Christ presents our prayers to the Father, ensuring they align with God’s will.
Key Insight
Prayer connects us to God’s heart, allowing us to participate in His plan for every nation. Prayer involves two key parts: bringing requests to the Lord and listening as He speaks through His Holy Spirit.
