[Music] uh [Music] hello destiny world we are so excited to bring this week's lesson to you in your homes here's trey all right let's go over our core values i am destined i am effective i am strong i am teachable i am intelligent i am noble i am yours lord and now let's welcome pastor cora hey y'all it's pastor core jax coleman and we are back again so that i can give you your word for today and i am so excited about this text one of my favorite things to do as you know is pray and that is what we're going to be talking about today and before we get into it i want you to know or rather i want to tell you a story um about prayer one of the first times that i ever got to pray in our sanctuary my father had just got finished preaching a sermon and he called me up out of the blue completely surprised and asked me to pray and i was so so so nervous because there was so many people out there and i didn't want to mess up i didn't want to make a mistake i didn't want to sound like i didn't know what i was talking about and i remember getting up there and grabbing the mic and saying dear jesus and all of a sudden like everything in me just kind of saddened because i felt like here you are this teenage girl and you have just opened up your prayer with dear jesus but there was such a sincerity in that moment that i overlooked looking back now i see that there was just a sincere heart in that moment where i just really gave my intimate relationship with god my closeness with god to those who were listening and it may have sound like a little girl but i suddenly remembered in that moment that that is how god wants us to come to him as a child he wants us to be able to know him as a child and him as our father first and foremost this text kind of gives us a format if you will of how we should begin that relationship of communication with god through a form that we call prayer because that is all this really is prayer is not something that you have to have a degree and mathematician you do not have to have a whole bunch of stuff to be able to have a communication with god and so today we're going to talk about that i want you to go with me to luke 11 and i'm just gonna read one through four but i am using the whole foundation here of 1-14 and um if you have it and you have found it it will say one day in a place where jesus had just finished praying one of his disciples requested lord teach us to pray just as john taught his disciples so jesus told them when you pray say father hallowed be your name your kingdom come give us each day our daily bread and forgive us our sins for we also forgive everyone who sins against us and lead us not into temptation as luke is teaching this moment in this experience with them i want you to consider what the steps are what we're seeing first and foremost is an acknowledgement of who god is to the person who is praying he's teaching them first you must be able to acknowledge god so when you are striking up your communication and your beginning your relationship with god through prayer the first thing you want to know is who is god for me in prayer sometimes god is going to be a father sometimes he's gonna be a friend sometimes he's gonna be a comforter sometimes he's a disciplinarian sometimes he keeps us in favor sometimes he keeps us in fruitfulness and joy sometimes we go through hard times and he teaches us how to endure and be strong in those moments but all of those things are encompassed of who he is and so you get to decide as a child of god you get to decide what is our relationship going to look like and so in the prayer he starts off with father he is my father first and foremost sometimes when you hear me pray i may say father sometimes i may say spirit of the living god sometimes i may say jesus sometimes i may say jehovah there are so many different attributes and names of who god is that we get an opportunity to decide how he's going to directly connect to us and then we get to develop and make that relationship fruitful in our own lives and so that's the first thing i want you to acknowledge what is this relationship and then bring adoration to that acknowledgement whenever you are a little baby your mom or your dad give you a nickname my baby's nicknames are too good princess baby girl pumpkin head you get these little different nicknames because they are developing an intimate closeness between you and the person who is creating this nickname and so as you are developing and acknowledging who god is going to be for you then i want you to call him by that name if he's going to be your father then when you are praying i want you to bring adoration to the acknowledgement that he is my father so i call him father i want you to bring acknowledgement and adoration to he is my peace so i call him peace he is my joy he is my strength so i call him my strength and then when you are done with your adoration and your acknowledgement of who he is the second thing that this text teaches us for prayer is our thanksgiving he tells us to give us each day our daily bread being thankful for this daily bread that we are getting the things that god is blessing in our life the things that he's pouring down in our life incidentally i would say that in another version we would hear confession as the next step in this particular version we hear a request as the next step and you can do your prayer and your communication however you like but let me just gear off a little bit from text and kind of give you kind of how i do i operate from the lord's prayer from john's perspective and in this perspective that the next step in prayer would be our confession our ability to come to god lay our sins at the table come to god and allow him to wash us up our sins so after you've acknowledged him after you have given adoration the next thing i want you to do and move in is god forgive me forgive me of my sins that's that next thing god forgive us of our sins forgive us of what we've done or said or thought that has not been pleasing in your sight move us from these ideas that we know are not good and put us in a place where we are thinking righteous and moving in things that are holy and that are cleansed and purified and so you get an opportunity in your communication with god to not just talk about what you want to not just go into requests but to be able to say god forgive me before i even ask of anything let me acknowledge who you are adore you for that for who you are and then let me confess my sins to you ask you to cleanse me ask you to restore me ask you to purify me and then i will ask you to give so then i begin to thank him for what he's going to give thank him for what he's already given thank him for what he's going to do in my life i begin to give him thanks and there is so much power and your ability to be able to say thank you before we say please i've taught you about that before and so after we've done our confessions then we go into thank you we go into thank you god for what you've given thank you for who you are thank you for what you have put away thank you for the things you've blocked thank you for what you continue to do in our lives and then we go into our request or it's also known as supplication and so this practice that i've taught you all today from this particular text is called acts so it's our adoration our acknowledgement to god our confession what we confess to god that he would cleanse us of our sins our thanksgiving giving that thanksgiving to god and then our request our supplication the acts of god and if you want to go in even further you could go into intercession and so we do x i and you go into intercession and that is when you go into prayer not just for yourself but you're standing in the gap for somebody else and i'm sure that those will be steps that we can go into later so let's just start with acts and then we'll go into deeper later i will be back after these messages [Music] all right let's go [Music] [Music] i am not afraid nothing is too hard for you with you i can do very big things god with you i can do very big things i know it's
