Engaging The Labor Room Of Prayer For Sustainable Church Growth- Part 3
Prayer is spiritual labor
Colossians 4:12 KJV
[12] Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.
Proverbs 14:23 KJV
[23] In all labour there is profit: But the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury.
(It is for my benefit)
Prayer does not only change things, Prayer changes people
We must continue to remember, there can be no sustainable Church growth without prayer
Psalm 2:8 KJV
[8] Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, And the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
Isaiah 66:8 KJV
[8] Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.
Prayer is a must
1. To Experience And Sustain Church Growth Requires Engaging The Ministry Of The Holy Spirit Through Prayer
Zechariah 4:6 KJV
[6] Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.
Romans 8:26-28 KJV
[26] Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. [27] And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. [28] And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
Acts 2:1, 4, 6, 46-47 KJV
[1] And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
[4] And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
[6] Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.
[46] And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, [47] praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.
It is a sequence
2. The LORD of The Harvest Will Only Manifest Himself In Response To Our Prayers
Acts 1:4 KJV
[4] and, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.
Acts 2:4 KJV
[4] And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
John 16:7-8 KJV
[7] Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. [8] And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
The Holy Spirit brings conviction, that makes men surrender their life to Christ
Psalm 63:1 KJV
[1] O God, thou art My God; early will I seek thee: My soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee In a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;
Romans 8:26 KJV
[26] Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
3. We Can Only Destroy The Hold Of The devil From The Lives Of The Unsaved As We Engage The Power Of The Holy Ghost In Prayers
Luke 11:21-22 KJV
[21] When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace: [22] but when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils.
The Holy Spirit is that stronger Person in us,
GOD'S intervention requires man's intercession.
Matthew 16:18 KJV
[18] And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
LORD, I receive the Spirit of Grace and Supplication Afresh to stand strong on the Altar of Prayer like never before in the name of Jesus
Thank You Jesus
