On our final day together, Louie practically lead us through five steps we can take to align our prayer life with God’s desire and remind us that we serve a mighty God who is capable of anything, so we should pray that way.

Summary

Every prayer of great faith ends up being a miracle, like incense before the Throne of God. Thanks be to God.

5 Practical Things to Remember About Prayer

  1. Don't get stuck trying to resolve the tension that because God knows everything, there's no need to pray. Just lean into the mystery and know He has invited you. That's all you need: an invitation to pray big prayers.

  2. Pray prayers that are as big as God. Be bold in humility.

  3. Don't fixate on the way God is moving; trust that He's moving.

  4. Make yourself available to pray for things that don't directly involve you. Pray for things that matter to God. Spend a lot less time informing God and the people around us. He knows all the details.

  5. Link miracle prayers to bold mission. Don't try to use God's mission to get Him to do what you want Him to do. Make sure you're connected to God's mission when you ask for Him to move.

What's Next?

This might take some extra time today. Sit with Jesus and come to terms with what God is calling you to do practically. Look over the five points Louie gave and get specific. It's easy to get caught up in whether or not you see God working, to question if you should pray at all because God knows everything, and to try to tell God what to do. Instead, focus on the mission that God has called you to. Trust that God is working and that people are going to come to know Jesus through our prayers. Shift is a way that Heaven is moved.

24
Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.
25
Anyone who loves their life will lose it, while anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it for eternal life.
26
Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me.
27
“Now my soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? No, it was for this very reason I came to this hour.
28
Father, glorify your name!”

Then a voice came from heaven, “I have glorified it, and will glorify it again.” 29The crowd that was there and heard it said it had thundered; others said an angel had spoken to him.

29Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness.
41He took her by the hand and said to her,
“Talitha koum!”
(which means
“Little girl, I say to you, get up!”
).
42Immediately the girl stood up and began to walk around (she was twelve years old). At this they were completely astonished.
54But he took her by the hand and said,
“My child, get up!”
55Her spirit returned, and at once she stood up. Then Jesus told them to give her something to eat.
6Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing at the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders. The Lamb had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth.
7He went and took the scroll from the right hand of him who sat on the throne.
8And when he had taken it, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of God’s people.
9And they sang a new song, saying:

“You are worthy to take the scroll

and to open its seals,

because you were slain,

and with your blood you purchased for God

persons from every tribe and language and people and nation.
