Prayer: Doing it Right

When you pray, ask the Father as he is the one who gives and provides. IN the name of Jesus.

Reasons why we don’t receive from God: James 4

v. 2 Because we don't ask

Also see John 16:24 - don't ask in his name

v. 3 “When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures”

When you pray, recognize that He is the Father – understand your relationship to Him

Jesus teaches us a life of prayer –

Mat 5:44-45 pray for those who persecute you

Mar 6: 46 he went to the mountain to pray

James 5:13 If there is any one of you in trouble he should pray

We have the authority to bless, but not to cover ppl w/ the blood of Christ. Christ's death and sacrifice has already been done. The blood is already applied. We can not take a paintbrush and dip it in the altar to reapply his work. It's in effect already. The song says - "There's power in the blood" which is true, but it's already in use.

Mat 7:7-8 Ask – given. Seek – you fill find. Knock and will be opened
