The need for prayer

1
The need for prayer Acts 238-42
2
Just as the heart is needy for physical life, So
is prayer needy for spiritual life
Peter had a problem as do we
3
Lets start by looking at Peters problem Matt
2631-35
Peter was so strong / caught up in self that he
dared to tell Jesus He was wrong.
Prayer is designed to show us the condition of
our heart / spirit.
4
Peter had a prayer-less life
Im not saying Peter did not pray, but that hes
life was not effected by prayer. He was still
looking at what he could do or thought he could
do
5
Matt 2636-46
Peter was so caught up in his own strength that
he went to sleep when asked to watch and even
went back to sleep after Jesus woke him up
6
Matt 2674-75
Jesus will allow you to hit bottom if thats what
it takes to get you to rely on prayer
Lk 2260-62
7
Matt 2641 Watch and pray that you enter not
into temptation The sprit indeed is willing,
but the flesh is weak.
8
1Pet 56-7
Eph 518
Heb 416
9
Matt 2113, Isa 567
The work of God can only be carried on by the
power of God. The church is a spiritual organism
fighting spiritual battles. Only spiritual power
can make it function as God intended
10
Ps 4016-17
And they continued steadfastly in the apostles
doctrine and in fellowship and in breaking of
bread and in prayers
