God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
1. Prayer is a form of serving God (Luke 2:36-38). We pray because God commands us to pray (Philippians 4:6-7).
2. Prayer is exemplified for us by Christ and the early church (Mark 1:35; Acts 1:14; 2:42; 3:1; 4:23-31; 6:4; 13:1-3). If Jesus thought it was worthwhile to pray, we should also.
3. God intends for prayer to be the means of obtaining His solutions in a number of situations:
a. Preparation for major decisions (Luke 6:12-13).
a. Overcoming demonic barriers in lives (Matthew 17:14-21).
b. The gathering of workers for the spiritual harvest (Luke 10:2).
c. The gaining of strength to overcome temptation (Matthew 26:41).
d. The means of strengthening others spiritually (Ephesians 6:18-19).
4. We have God’s promise that our prayers are not in vain, even if we don’t receive specifically what we asked for (Matthew 6:6; Romans 8:26-27).
5. He has promised that when we ask for things that are in accordance with His will, He will give us what we ask for (1 John 5:14-15).
The resurrection is not merely important to the historic Christian faith; without it, there would be no Christianity. It is the singular doctrine that elevates Christianity above all other world religions. Through the resurrection, Christ demonstrated that He does not stand in a line of peers with Abraham, Buddha, or Confucius. He is utterly unique. He has the power not only to lay down His life, but to take it up again.
