A PRAYER EXTENDING FORGIVENESS TO OTHERS (Luke 23:33-34)

Pastor Jarrett begins this segment with a famous Disney song that is actually rooted in sound Biblical doctrine. (Not really – but close!)

Why didn’t anyone stop the crucifixion of Jesus?

Are we just as guilty today as they were back then? Commentator Philip Ryken said: "There is room for every sinner in the little word 'them,' and, therefore, many people have crawled inside that blessed pronoun to find the forgiveness of their sins."

Pray for those who hurt you.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Yesterday, Pastor Jarrett preached about the importance of praying persistently, encouraging us to bother God with our requests. After all, that’s what He’s here for!

Warfare Prayer Ends with Surrender

Why did Jesus surrender himself to God’s will? Wasn’t he already perfect? Was it really necessary? When you pray for God’s will to be done in your life, do you mean it? Ouch!

So, what does “warfare prayer” really mean? Pastor Jarrett says: “Warfare prayer is honest about what I want and keeps praying until I surrender to what my Father wants.”

CHALLENGE: Pray A Nevertheless Kind of Prayer

Pastor Jarrett reminds us of the last few weeks’ prayer challenges and has a great challenge for this week: Be honest and persistent and always end with surrender. He says: "Nevertheless prayers are not cop-out prayers. They ensure victory in warfare prayer.”

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Warfare Prayer Begins with Honesty

Yesterday, Pastor Jarrett reminded us that we are in a real battle with a real enemy and warfare prayer is the best defense we could have.

Why should we be 100% honest with God? Pastor Jarrett gives several hypothetical situations when we question but are afraid to be honest. He says: “Get honest with the Lord. Tell Him what you want.”

Warfare Prayer Continues in Persistence

Do you ever grow weary? Me, too! And so did the disciples. But – did Jesus ever stop praying? (Matthew 26:39-44; Luke 11:9-10)

What can happen in our lives when we are persistent? (Luke 188)

But – what if we are persistent and we still don’t hear an answer from God? Pastor Jarrett reminds us that God ALWAYS answers our prayer. Sometimes it is just a different answer than what we wanted or expected.

Today, Pastor Jarrett says: “All prayer, including intercessory prayer… has at its foundation the glory of God. What we want most when we pray for others, behind every ask, is the glorification of God's name. This is where Jesus starts and this is where we must start as well.”

Did God already know what Jesus was praying for?

Do you have a prayer closet – or at least somewhere quiet to pray? Get one!

PETITION #6 IN THE LORD’S PRAYER: A Prayer for Protection

FUN FACT: The ESV Bible has a footnote for Matthew 6:13: "Allow us to be spared from difficult circumstances that would tempt us to sin."

But wait… If God doesn’t lead us to sin, how can He protect us from it? I never thought of this before, but the question makes sense. Listen as Pastor Jarrett explains…
