A.That men always ought
to pray: Man is createdwith a spiritual instinct, soprayer often comesnaturally. Yet obstacles
come in the way of effectiveand constant prayer, soJesus knew we needed tobe both taught andencouraged always . . . topray.
B.Jesus does not mean that
we should always have ourknees bent and eyesclosed in prayer; but we

must always be in the spirit
of prayer.C.pray without ceasing (1Thess. 5:17).

G.Many law enforcement
officers always carry a gunwith them, even when offduty. There is a sense inwhich they are never off

never off duty asChristians.

if you prayed about it first?Wouldnt that quench yoursinful conduct?

N.What is prayer?
8/10/2019 Projecto Lucas 18
10/47
Jesus said that it is
necessary that weALWAYS pray.
1. Prayer is talking to
God.
8/10/2019 Projecto Lucas 18
11/47
(Mat 6:5-6 KJV) And
when thou p rayest ,thou shal t not be as
the hypocr i tes are:
for they love to pray
stand ing in thesynagogues and in
the co rners of the
s treets , that they may
be seen of men.
Ver i ly I say un to you,
They have their
reward . {6} Bu t thou ,when thou p rayest ,
en ter into thy c loset,
and when thou hast
8/10/2019 Projecto Lucas 18
12/47
shut thy doo r , pray to
thy Father which is insecret ; and thy
Father which seeth in
secret shal l reward
thee openly .Jesus isnt saying that
we should never pray
with other people orthat we shouldnt pray
out loud. His whole
point is that we ought to
be praying to God.
8/10/2019 Projecto Lucas 18
13/47
Sometimes when we
pray in front of otherpeople, we can fall into
a trap of praying to
the people than
praying toGod. Sometimes we
can find ourselves
trying to send a
message to someone in
the group with our
prayer.
8/10/2019 Projecto Lucas 18
14/47
Jesus told us that when
we pray we ought toaddress our prayers to
GodOur Father
which art in heaven
2. Its the heart thatcounts, not the words.
(Mat 6:7KJV) But
when ye pray, useno t vain repet i t ions ,
as the heathen do :
for they think that
they shal l be heardfor thei r much
speaking.
8/10/2019 Projecto Lucas 18
15/47
Memorized prayersI
think that its okay toknow some memorized
prayers, like the Lords
Prayer. But if the
words are just wordsand dont mean
anything to you, theres
no value.
I think we can also fall
into a trap of thinking
that if we keep going on
and on and on with ourprayer, that somehow
that is more spiritual.
8/10/2019 Projecto Lucas 18
16/47
(James 5:16-18
NLT) Confess yoursins to each otherand pray for eachother so that you
may be healed. Theearnest prayer of arighteous personhas great power andwonderful results.{17} Elijah was ashuman as we are,
and yet when heprayed earnestlythat no rain wouldfall, none fell for the
8/10/2019 Projecto Lucas 18
17/47
8/10/2019 Projecto Lucas 18
18/47
Elijah himself is a great
example of the power ofprayer, not because of
his long prayers, but
because of his fervent
prayers.
8/10/2019 Projecto Lucas 18
19/47
Elijah had a
showdown with theprophets of Baal on
Mount Carmel. They
all got together and
agreed to each asktheir god to send
fire to consume their
sacrifice. The
prophets of Baal
yelled and danced all
day long.

made. {27} And it
came to pass atnoon, that Elijahmocked them, andsaid, Cry aloud: for
he is a god; eitherhe is talking, or heis pursuing, or heis in a journey, orperadventure hesleepeth, and mustbe awaked. {28}
And they criedaloud, and cutthemselves aftertheir manner with
8/10/2019 Projecto Lucas 18
22/47
8/10/2019 Projecto Lucas 18
23/47
8/10/2019 Projecto Lucas 18
24/47
(1 Ki 18:36-38
KJV) And it cameto pass at the timeof the offering ofthe evening
sacrifice, thatElijah the prophetcame near, andsaid, LORD God ofAbraham, Isaac,and of Israel, let itbe known this day
that thou art God inIsrael, and that Iam thy servant,and that I have
8/10/2019 Projecto Lucas 18
25/47
done all these
things at thy word.{37} Hear me, OLORD, hear me,that this people
may know thatthou art the LORDGod, and that thouhast turned theirheart back again.{38} Then the fireof the LORD fell,
and consumed theburnt sacrifice, andthe wood, and thestones, and the
8/10/2019 Projecto Lucas 18
26/47
dust, and licked up
the water that wasin the trench.
3. Prayer is not about
informing God
(Mat 6:8 KJV) Be no tye therefo re l ike un to
them : for you r Father
knoweth what th ingsye have need of,
befo re ye ask him .
8/10/2019 Projecto Lucas 18
27/47
Sometimes we fall into
thinking that we have totell God allllllllabout
our needs. We will go
into deep detail as we
pray, as if we are tellingGod something He
didnt know. Perhaps
we have this idea that
God is frantically
taking notes because
the things were telling
Him are new toHim. Not so.
4. Prayer involves
yielding to Gods will
8/10/2019 Projecto Lucas 18
28/47
(Mat 6:9-
10 KJV) A fter thismanner therefo repray ye: Our Father
wh ich art in heaven,
Hal lowed be thyname. {10} Thy
kingdom come. Thy
w ill be done in earth ,
as it is in heaven .
8/10/2019 Projecto Lucas 18
29/47
One of the goals in
prayer is to see that thethings on earth become
conformed to Gods
will. It is not about
demanding that ourwillbe done, but Hiswill be
done. The goal of
prayer is not to shape
the world a little more
into the picture that we
want it to be, but to be a
part of seeing thingswork out the way that
God wants them to be.
8/10/2019 Projecto Lucas 18
30/47
It is not a lack of faith
to say, if it be Yourwill. This
is exactly what were
supposed to say.
5. Prayer involves askingfor needs
(Mat 6:11 KJV) Give
us th is day our dai lybread.
Even though we dont
need to inform God
about what our needsare, God does want us
to ask.
8/10/2019 Projecto Lucas 18
31/47
Why do we need to ask
when He already knowswhat we need?
God wants us to learn
to come to Him and
depend upon Him tomeet our needs. He
wants us to see the
connection of being inneed and seeing Him
respond and meet our
needs. He wants us to
learn to depend uponHim.
8/10/2019 Projecto Lucas 18
32/47
Somehow, God
withholds some thingsbecause He is waiting
for us to come to Him
and ask Him for them.
(James 4:2KJV) yet ye havenot, because ye ask
not.Our lives will start torun the way God
intends them to run
when we learn todepend upon Him.
Illustration
8/10/2019 Projecto Lucas 18
33/47
Suppose you looked
at the gas gage inyour car and saw
that you were
beginning to run out
of fuel. Even thoughthe gas prices are
pretty low right now,
you decide to save a
few bucks and fill up
your gas tank with
something else. So
you park the car inthe front yard, pull
out the garden hose,
and fill your tank
8/10/2019 Projecto Lucas 18
34/47
with water. Will
your car run verywell?I dont think
so.
We were designed to
run best when ourtanks are filled with
the things of God,
when our lives aredependent upon Him.
6. Prayer involves
confession of sin
8/10/2019 Projecto Lucas 18
35/47
(Mat 6:12-
13a KJV) And forg iveus our debts , as weforg ive ou r deb tors .
And lead us not in to
temptat ion , butdeliver us from evi l :
If we are truly praying
to God, if we are trulyaware of His presence
as we are praying, we
will realize our great
need for forgiveness.
8/10/2019 Projecto Lucas 18
36/47
Sin is the very thing that
will cut off ourcommunication with
God.
8/10/2019 Projecto Lucas 18
37/47
(Isa 59:1-2
KJV) Behold, theLORD'S hand is notshortened, that itcannot save; neither
his ear heavy, that itcannot hear: {2} Butyour iniquities haveseparated betweenyou and your God,and your sins havehid his face from
you, that he will nothear.
8/10/2019 Projecto Lucas 18
38/47
8/10/2019 Projecto Lucas 18
39/47
(Mat 6:13b KJV) For
th ine is the kingdom ,and the power, and
the glo ry , fo r ever.
Amen.
We talked a few weeksago about the ten lepers
who were healed, but
only one returned togive thanks (Luke
17:11-19). Our time of
talking with God ought
to always includethanks, praise, and
adoration.
8/10/2019 Projecto Lucas 18
40/47
I believe there is a sense
in which we are able toexperience Gods
presence in our l ives in a
greater measure as we
learn to honestly andsincerely give H im
praise.
(Psa 22:3 KJV) Butthou art holy, O thouthat inhabitest thepraises of Israel.
(Psa 22:3 ICB) Yousit as the Holy One.The praises of Israelare your throne.
8/10/2019 Projecto Lucas 18
41/47
I think that as we
praise Him, weexperience His
presence, He is King
on the throne in our
lives.
O.
2. y no desmayarA.And not lose heart: Oftenwe stop praying because
we lose heart. We becomediscouraged and then slackoff in prayer.
8/10/2019 Projecto Lucas 18
42/47
B.One of the most difficult
aspects of prayer ispersevering when it seemsthat God is not answering.
C.It is easy to lose heartin
prayer because prayer ishard work that we too oftenapproach lightly.In Colossians 4:12, Paulpraises a man namedEpaphras because hewas always laboring
fervently . . . in prayers.Paul knew that prayer washard work that requiredfervent labor.

E.It is easy to lose heartinprayer because the Devilhates prayer. If prayer were
powerless, it would beeasy!
F.It is easy to lose heartin
prayer because we are not
8/10/2019 Projecto Lucas 18
44/47
always convinced of the
reality of the power ofprayer. Too often, prayerbecomes a last resortinstead of a first resource.
G.There are a number ofreasons that we are prone tolose heart and quit praying.
Sometimes we assume that weare competent to handle thingsin our own strength. This isespecially a danger when it is
a task that we do repeatedly.H.EN LO QUE HACES

R.Part of praying is learning to
wait. Not only do we wantto pour out our hearts to the
Lord, but we want to learn to
wait on Him. We want to
learn to trust in Him. Wewant to learn to depend upon
Him.S.
