Jeremy Johnson - Prayer is Our Source

Jesus didn't have tough skin but He had a tough source. As people, we will undoubtably hurt each other. Tough skin ruins our purpose and destiny because we wall up and build fences that end up imprisoning us. Vision rarely comes to prayer without the labor of great prayer because big vision requires God help.Here are some reasons as to why we pray:
1. The power comes when we put Gods word in your mouth so we not only read the word, but we pray the word.
2. You are a citizen of heaven and what you need to know is that you have a the authority to enter the throne room.
3. Out of all things the disciples saw Jesus doing, the only thing they asked for instruction on how to pray.
4. Don't forget your place alongside of Him. The king is not looking for you to show up in a king James prayer of perfection. He is looking for intimacy through prayer.
5. Wherever you're at God hears you, even if that prayer is worked out in fear and trembling. God hears your heart and not just words.
6. Some of the best words that you might say, might be said through tears but we can go to Him broken without our religious words and share our hearts to the father.
7. Of all the things God can do, the only thing the Lord cannot do is answer a prayer that you didn't pray. He is waiting on YOU to open your mouth and speak to the one who loves you.
We have lost the passion to learn how to pray so let's stir that up in our hearts today. You have to go to the prayer closet because out of that place will come the blueprints to change the world!
