House of Prayer Part 7 - Types of Prayer | Paula Finch | 5th November 2023

Family Church Online

Pastor Paula speaks this week on Types of Prayer - continuing the series on House of Prayer. When we use all types of prayer in our prayer life, we get to experience God in different ways. Psalm 100:4 tells us to enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with Praise. Psalm 107 tells us to give thank to the Lord for he is good.

Ps Paula continues with personal life stories punctuated with scripture but also challenges us to pray about both the small and big things in our lives. If we dont but we moan and grumble, what are we like? Paula speaks about going before God with a humble heart, on our knees in complete surrender in supplication. If our prayer life is only about the good things in life, we end up quite shallow. Paula speaks of Hannah in the Bible who made a petition, she got on her knees in supplication for a child.

The prayer of supplication does not leave us wanting what we want. It shifts our hearts and causes us to want God to be glorified, because when we get to the end of ourselves and don't know what to do and God is got only person that we have left to help, we begin to realise "God, I'm nothing God nothing. So may your will be glorified." Everything comes from God and for His glory.

Pauls ends speaking about how prayers of supplication, petition, and intercession produce miracles......God can take our broken situations.....other people will then know the power of God. But when people stop praying, miracles stop happening!
