Book Resource: How To Pray : A Simple Guide For Normal People by Pete Greig
After Jesus had gone indoors, his disciples asked him privately, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?” He replied, “This kind can come out only by prayer.”
Mark 9:28-29
The Disciples’ Two Reactions:
Doh! We Forgot To Pray Didn’t We?
They were trying to engage in the supernatural with only the natural.
“I asked your disciples to drive out the spirit, but they could not.” (Mark 9:18)
We Don’t Move Without Prayer, except for when we do
Wait! When Did We See Jesus Praying?
They didn’t but clearly He was
Jesus Never Moved Without Prayer, even while on the move
And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests.
Ephesians 6:18
And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.
Romans 8:27
Pray Continually,... (1 Thessalonians 5:17)
Jesus prayed His whole way through the gospels:
With Zacchaeus in Jericho (Luke 19:1-9)
With the Samaritan Woman (John 4)
At the wedding in Cana (John 2:1-12)
With the women caught in adultery (John 8:1-11)
Boating to the demon possessed man (Mark 4:35-5:20)
Prayer Killer: Compartmentalization
There’s only certain places I pray
There’s only certain times I pray
There’s only certain ways I pray
We don’t move without prayer, even while on the move.
