Sermon Overview
Reidhead teaches that prayer is not "getting our will done in heaven," but "getting God's will done on earth." He explores the requirement of a clean heart, the role of the Spirit in intercession, and the importance of praying the "Promises of God." He argues that prayer is a labor of the heart that requires concentration and persistence.
Key Principles
Co-laboring: Treat prayer as "work" where you partner with God to release His will onto the earth.
Clean Heart: Perform a "heart audit" (Psalm 66:18) before praying; realize that hidden sin blocks the channel.
Name of Jesus: Pray using Christ’s "Power of Attorney," standing in His authority rather than your own.
Word as Foundation:Use the specific language of Scripture as the legal "blueprint" for your petitions.
The Spirit’s Groanings:Allow the Holy Spirit to "take hold" of your prayer life, praying through you for things you don't know.
P.U.S.H. Principle:Practice "Persistence" in prayer; refuse to let go until you have the "assurance of the answer."
God-Centered Prayer:Reorient your prayers away from "My happiness" toward "God’s glory among the nations."
Missions Progress:Make the "progress of the Gospel" the primary target of your most intense intercession.
