Prayer
IT DOESN’T MATTER THAT MUCH WHAT YOU KNOW.
You can know all the word and ways of God but without honesty, not bribing prayer, we get nothing, the enemy or our sin will win.
Mark 11:16-18 (New King James Version)
16 And He would not allow anyone to carry wares through the temple. 17 Then He taught, saying to them, “Is it not written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations’? But you have made it a ‘den of thieves.’ ”
18 And the scribes and chief priests heard it and sought how they might destroy Him; for they feared Him, because all the people were astonished at His teaching.
What are we trying to sell God, are we flippantly sacrificing common things to him like we are shopping? Do we really do that even though we don’t believe it? Examine ourselves.
What is down-to-earth, HONEST prayer between you and God not the other guy and what you want for him, or even from God, good or bad?
Do we have our own nation, a prejudice against this set of people or that one, this denomination or that one, is it men or women, political sets. Is it a sin that we hate, not necessarily our own, that keeps us judging-so we are bitter. You’ve got to get rid of all that. He says His House will be a house of prayer for all nations. What kind of heart do you have for God to move and Save yourself and others, and too bless?

John 2:16 (New King James Version)
16 And He said to those who sold doves, “Take these things away! Do not make My Father’s house a house of merchandise!”
Are we trying to sell God something or buy something from the people that accurately is supposed to be use in the offering? But it’s just too flippant, not real heart meaning, not purchased right. It looks like the purchase is raised higher than that offering.
Genesis 4:26 (New King James Version)
26 And as for Seth, to him also a son was born, a son; and he named him Enoch. Then men began to call on the name of the LORD.
It looks like in the beginning after Cain had killed his brother and the father and mother had to deal with that, they named him Cain. They had to deal with it. They had another son Seth and they trained him. Adam and Eve must have learned to call on the name of God and started teaching Seth because He taught his son and men began to call on the name of the Lord. Not just bribe God to get something.
Need some hope?
Psalm 18:1-3 (New King James Version)
To the Chief Musician: A Psalm of David the servant of the LORD, who spoke to the LORD the words of this song on the day that the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. And he said:
1 I will love You, O LORD, my strength.
2 The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer;
My God, my strength, in whom I will trust;
My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
3 I will call upon the LORD, Who is worthy to be praised;
So shall I be saved from my enemies—my hatred, my lust, my self-righteousness.
Real prayer is where power is wrought and great things are accomplished in the earth. The enemy or sin is defeated in praying or power to defeat them is obtained. Prayer is the place where GOD rules and not us and our wants. It is how you will be empowered and the word of GOD in you come alive for you and you family, your ministry, your job. The person down the street that you want to help, the government that needs our help.

Psalm 145:18-21 (New King James Version)
18 The LORD is near to all who call upon Him,
To all who call upon Him in truth.
19 He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him;
He also will hear their cry and save them.
20 The LORD preserves all who love Him,
But all the wicked He will destroy.
21 My mouth shall speak the praise of the LORD,
And all flesh shall bless His holy name
Forever and ever.
