The Burros follow up on Episode 202 where Rick Welch shared a message about prayer. They did in a little deeper to the lesson of prayer given by Jesus Christ to His disciples found in Luke 11 and then dive into Jesus's prayer in John 17. What we discover is that it is by the disciples "importunity" and consistent, persistent prayer that they receive the Holy Spirit.

(1) DANIEL had the RIGHT PREPARATION. He studied the Word and the Promises of God before praying (Daniel 9:2,3, Jeremiah 29:10, Matthew 24:35, Psalm 119:89). (2) DANIEL had the RIGHT PERSPECTIVE. He recognised God's righteousness and man's sinfulness (Daniel 9:4-5,16,18) (3) DANIEL had the RIGHT PURPOSE. He desired for God to be glorified and honoured above all else, that God would answer His prayer for His own sake (Daniel 9:17,19, Isaiah 48:11). (4) DANIEL had the RIGHT PERSISTENCE. He continued steadfastly until the answer was manifest (Daniel 9:16-19). James 5:16: "The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much." AMP: The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working]." Luke18:1: Then He spoke a Parable to them, that men ALWAYS OUGHT TO PRAY and NOT LOSE HEART."

Prayer is our life, we learn to pray and we pray to learn. Prayer is more of a fellowship than it is of a request. The secret of praying is to pray in the secret. Praying with importunity keeps our focus on God and not on our ability to resolve the situation. When we seek Him with all our hearts, He promises that we will find Him. We don't stop praying until we get the result. In this teaching, Pastor Ransome teaches on the doggedness of prayer and why saints must persist in prayer because our lives depends on it. The only power that God yields to is the power of prayer. We trust this teaching will be a huge blessing to you. Kindly subscribe to this podcast and help us spread the message.

Well, hey there! Thanks for checking out The Burt (Not Ernie) Show & this special episode with a release from the vault! I hope it blesses and encourages you today & reminds you that the Lord's promises to you are sure, certain, steadfast and guaranteed. Be sure to sign up for my email list at my website, JanLBurt.com, and get "The Runway" in you inbox as a way to be encouraged, renewed & refueled. I'm cheering you on as you live out God's good plans for your life! Enjoy this special episode from the vault! ~ Jan L. Burt ~ ORIGINAL SHOW NOTES FOR EPISODE 32 ~ Acts 2:39 - The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off - for all whom the Lord our God will call. When God gives us something that we can grab hold of & hang on to & believe Him for individually (as in, just for us as His dearly loved child) it's terribly comforting. It's very personal. When God gives us as His whole body, His whole Church, a promise, that's just plain beautiful. And when God gives us promises that are generational - as in, for those who will come after us (specifically our children and our grandchildren and so on) --- well, that is something else entirely! When you spend time in prayer for your children - which I hope happens every single day - don't fail to utilize and make the most of the promise from this New Testament verse. I want to encourage you to use this verse in your beseeching (and if your prayers aren't exactly "beseeching" the Lord for specific things for your offspring, I guess this is your challenge to make sure they become "beseeching" prayers!). Please be willing to pray God's Word back to Him on behalf of your loved ones. Don't miss this!! It delights Him when His children know His Word and speak His Word in prayer. Praying in this manner reveals that we believe His Word is true. It reveals our faith in Him when we pray His promises in belief. Ask God to give you specific promises for your children. And be sure to write those promises down where you will see them often and pray them often. Be sure to put them down in ink, not with a pencil. God's promises are not able to be altered or erased, so don't treat them as if they might be "erase-able" by writing them down with lead rather than with ink, if you get my meaning. Have you ever met a kid who just sort of keeps on this type of rant: "But you promised! You said you would do that! You said! But you said...!!!" Believe it or not, we need to behave a bit more like this in our prayer lives and a whole lot less timidly. (God's Word tells us to come boldly to the throne of grace to find help in our time of need --- check out Episode #1 of The Burt (Not Ernie) Show to hear more about that verse from the book of Hebrews). We need to become more importunate in our praying. Let's look at these words from Jesus when He taught His disciples about prayer: Luke 11:5-10 (NLT) - Then, teaching them more about prayer, He used this story: "Suppose you went to a friend's house at midnight, wanting to borrow three loaves of bread. You say to him, 'A friend of mine has just arrived for a visit, and I have nothing for him to eat.' And suppose he calls out from his bedroom, 'Don't bother me. The door is locked for the night, and my family and I are all in bed. I can't help you.' But I tell you this - thought he won't do it for friendship's sake, if you keep knocking long enough, he will get up and give you whatever you need because of your shameless persistence. And so I tell you, keep on asking, and you will receive what you as for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened." Luke 18:1-8 (NLT) - One day Jesus told His disciples a story to show that they should always pray and never give up. "There was a judge in a certain city," He said, "who neither feared God nor cared about people. A widow of that city came to him repeatedly, saying 'Give me justice in this dispute with my enemy.' The judge ignored her for a while, but finally he said to himself, 'I don't fear God or care about people, but this woman is driving me crazy. I'm going to see that she gets justice, because she is wearing me out with her constant requests!' " Then the Lord said, "Learn a lesson from this unjust judge. Even he rendered a just decision in the end. So don't you think God will surely give justice to His chosen people who cry out to him day and night? Will He keep putting them off? I tell you, He will grant justice to them quickly! But when the Son of Man returns, how many will He find on the earth who have faith?" Definition of IMPORTUNITY: persistence, especially to the point of annoyance --- shamelessness --- lack of modesty --- urgent request In the King James Version, Luke 11:8 uses the word IMPORTUNITY where the NLT uses the phrase "shameless persistence". This is, my friend, how the Lord Jesus TAUGHT His disciples to pray. And it is how He wants us to pray. *** Quick Side Note for Those Who Do Not Have Children *** You are a child of God. There is nobody - and I do mean absolutely nobody! - on the outside looking in when it comes to the Kingdom of God. I want you to take it from me - take this from me right now and don't set it down somewhere...take it and hold on to it, please! - You are not an outsider. You are absolutely and insider in God's Kingdom. You matter. Did you hear me? I said, YOU MATTER!!! Having or not having children does not mean you matter more or less - and this podcast episode is a promise for those who don't have children just as much as it is for those who are parents. Remember, you matter! There are no outsiders in God's family. You truly do matter. Ask the Lord to lead you to godly friendships, to places where you will not feel as if you are on the outside looking in, but are on the inside inviting others in to join you. Don't give up hope - pray to the God of all hope to give you a place where you can know you belong and not feel as if you are merely tolerated. Don't resign yourself to staying on the outside and looking in longingly...that is not what Jesus died for. Never forget, you matter! Now, let's take a look at the remainder of the promise in this verse. This promise is for all whom the Lord our God will call. There is a sense of the future tense in this verse. This is for all who will ever be called by the Lord. And we know that He wants everyone, as in all of mankind, to be saved and none to perish, so He is calling out to everyone. We can pray big prayers based on this promise! Pray God's promises and pray them again tomorrow and then the next day and just do not stop praying!! God's promises are for you ... & for your family... & for your circle of influence. So pray that way, believe this promise because it is 100% the truth.

In your King James Bible, the word 'importunity' appears in the gospel of Luke in connection with one friend coming to another friend with an urgent request, only to have that request denied for fairly good reasons. Yet, the need is so great, that the person asking the favor refuses to take "no!" for an answer, and continues to ask until resistance is finally worn away, and the request is granted. When's the last time that you came before the Lord with importunity in your prayer? Now, let's define some terms. Importunity is not coming before the Lord and demanding anything. I cringe every time I hear Charismatic preachers talk about telling God to do this or that, or talking about putting their boot on the Devil's neck, all that junk is just foolishness. Webster's 1828 dictionary defines 'importunity' as a "Pressing solicitation; urgent request; application for a claim or favor, which is urged with troublesome frequency or pertinacity." Christian, let me ask you, does that define your prayer life? Well, it should because 'importunity' is in your King James Bible as an example of how to get your prayers through with God. Have you ever look to see the very next verse that follows it? Why it's the Ask - Seek - Knock triple threat combination that, according to the Lord, should come after a generous application of importunity. On today's Sunday service, I'd like to help you with your a life hack for your prayer life that really works.
Importunity moves God and changes you, says this classic teacher on prayer.
Don't stop praying. Pray until the answer comes, says Bounds, backed up by several anecdotes from the Word.

Jesus said, *Men ought always to pray and not lose heart*. Let us pray over you. Declaring God's promises again. They never can fail. Even when it seems lost, dead. The grain of corn will bud. New Life is coming. For those who wait. Let not your heart fail. Be encouraged. God sees all. Be stirred in your Spirit. These troubles are birth pangs. In the dark womb, Life is waiting to unleash. Pray with *Importunity*. Believe.
