Sermon Overview
Reidhead argues that prevailing prayer is not just asking, but an agonizing labor of the heart that persists until the answer is received. He emphasizes that such prayer must be based on the promises of God, offered in the Name of Jesus, and maintained through a life of obedience and "unconditional surrender."
Key Principles
Spiritual Labor: Treat prevailing prayer as "agonizing work"; refuse to be a casual or lazy petitioner.
Clean Heart Prerequisite: Conduct a "Psalm 66:18 audit"; ensure no hidden sin is blocking your "prevailing" power.
Praying the Will: Find the specific "Promise" in the Word that covers your situation and pray it back to God.
P.U.S.H. Principle:Practice "Persistence"; refuse to let go of the "altar" until you have the assurance of the answer.
Need-Identification:Identify so closely with the "suffering of others" that their need becomes your own "heart-burden."
Finished Work Boldness: Approach the Throne with the "boldness" of a child whose debt has already been paid.
Helper in Prayer: Rely on the Holy Spirit to "take hold" of the prayer-task when your natural energy is gone.
Fasting Tool: Use the discipline of "Fasting" to strip away the physical so you can "prevail" in the spiritual.
