Real Talk Pt.3

This morning was a rocky one with technology at Church on the Rock.  The podcast has a rough  beginning, but it is a POWERFUL teaching!  That being said; we are finishing up our Real Talk Series.  Our main text comes from Romans1:9-13.

Our sermon point are as follows:

When we talk to God...

1.)  Be REAL

2.)  Be RELENTLESS

      a.)  How important is the REQUEST you are making to GOD...TO YOU?

3.)  Be RELIANT

      a.)   Our PRAYER has NO POWER... WHO we PRAY TO has ALL POWER!

      b.)   Make REQUEST...But REMEMBER that the SUCCESS of your REQUEST...RELIES ON HIM!

4.)  Be REDUCED

      a.)  God's answers to your prayers are about HIS WILL...and not YOUR WANTS

      b.)  When we REDUCE ourselves in our Prayers the REASONS for our REQUESTS become CROSS FOCUSED (SAINTS and SALVATION)...not COMFORT                    FOCUSED (SELF, SAFE and SIN)

5.)  Be RECEIVING

 RVs:

ROCK RESPONSES:

If your prayers are REAL…RECEIVE HIS RESPONSE to YOUR REQUESTS… what’s the point in going to God…if all you want to RECEIVE is YOUR ANSWERS not HIS RESPONSE

Rock Response #1:

When you REALLY want a RESPONSE to your REQUEST...you will be RELENTLESS.

 

Rock Response #2:

Remember that the POWER of PRAYER is found IN, THROUGH, and FROM the ONE whom you are PRAYING TO...THE LORD YOUR GOD!

 

Rock Response #3:

In prayer...Give God YOUR HEART and allow HIM to "speak what is true"
