WEDNESDAY NIGHT’S IN THE AUDITORIUM WITH PASTOR AT 6:30
Igniting Kingdom Prayer with Dr. Tony Evans
This week’s lesson is Praying in Jesus’ Name (John 16:23-27): In the book of John, Jesus states whenever you ask for something in His name that you will receive it. But if you were to ask any believer if they’ve ever had a prayer go unanswered, their response would be yes. Tony Evans says this is because we often use His name in our prayers illegitimately. In this message, learn how to properly utilize the phrase “in Jesus’ name” as you begin to see prayers answered like never before.
Beats From Your Pastor’s Heart:
Romans 13:14, “But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.”
To be a member who is enjoying the Body life with all the other members is dependent on our daily life of following the Lord.
The lesson in Romans 13 is that our daily life will affect the kind of church life we have.
If we tell lies, cheat on our taxes, and are disrespectful and unruly toward authority, we could never know the church life in an organic way.
To live in a fleshly way in any area of our life will cause us to be an insubordinate person who has no regard for spiritual authority and relationships in the Body.
We are not living one way at work and another way in the meetings of the church. No.
When we throw off the works of darkness and put on the Lord Jesus Christ, making no provision for the flesh, this ushers us into an unfeigned church life that is full of Christ.
Our daily living of Christ is a common factor between us all that prepares us for the building up in the church.
Then, when we come to the practical church life, our capacity to receive the saints and keep the organic reality of the kingdom in our relationships is directly related to how much we have experienced Christ in our attitude toward people at work, in paying our taxes, and in dealing with fleshly habits (Rom. 14).
How we have interacted with Christ in our daily life determines how we will interact with Him in the Body life.
This is the significance of Romans 13–that we would experience Christ in all the areas of our daily life.
Our experiences of Christ are carried directly over into our thoughts, views, and concepts in the church life.
Until Tomorrow
