In Dr. Tirabassi's final chapter of her dissertation, A Call To Burdened Leaders to Pray Alone, Alongside…Until, Becky suggests that it is critical, at those junctures when the answer to your intercessory prayer has still not come, to review the lives of historical or biblical leaders burdened with similar challenges. Through them, you will see how they displayed perseverance and courage in the face of their adversaries to sustain their God-given assignment alongside other like-minded believers. And finally, to remember, there is no special secret to perseverance in prayer other than to keep praying, stay the course, and stand firm until God answers. And above all, be the persevering prayer leader in your sphere of influence.

Jesus teaches the disciples how to pray in Luke 11:1-4. Powerful prayer begins with Abba, or Father. Knowing who it is you are praying to and reverencing Him. Few things, if any, are hallowed by us anymore and God should always be one.

Coleton began with a story about accidentally cutting himself with his dad's pocketknife. Just like with the knife, he wants to handle this text carefully because it's often misunderstood—either leading people to miss out on what Jesus promises or to become disillusioned when prayer doesn't seem to work. ⸻ 1. What Is Jesus Actually Saying? • Jesus says: “Truly I tell you…” — a phrase He uses in other places where the words were fulfilled literally (Peter's denial, eternal life, heaven and earth passing away). • Therefore, we should not reinterpret His words about prayer and mountains to mean something symbolic. • Jesus also says “anyone” and “whatever you ask,” which expands the promise beyond just the disciples. • The phrase “moving mountains” was a common Jewish saying about impossible tasks, showing Jesus meant bold prayers that seem impossible. Quote: • “Moving mountains” became a figure of speech for a task that was considered virtually impossible. — Background Commentary ⸻ 2. How Did the Disciples Respond? • The disciples didn't reinterpret Jesus—they prayed boldly in Acts. • They spoke directly to mountains (sickness, persecution, demons, even death) and God responded powerfully. • Examples: Acts 3 (healing), Acts 9 (raising Tabitha), Acts 16 (casting out spirits), James 5 (prayer of faith heals the sick). • The evidence shows they took Jesus at His word and practiced it literally. ⸻ 3. Why Don't We Experience This Today? • Many don't expect God to act powerfully anymore because: • Lack of faith (James 4:2) • Selfish motives (James 4:3) • Broken relationships (1 Peter 3:7) • Cherishing sin (Psalm 66:18–19) • Lack of persistence (Luke 18) • We've been taught to reinterpret Jesus, so our expectation for prayer is low. • Doubt is a major barrier: doubting that prayer works, that God hears us, or that He will act. Quote: • “Two thousand years of exegesis have successfully explained away texts like these… They have awkwardly suppressed the fact that the Bible clearly presents healing and miracles as something Jesus and the early church practiced and expected…” — Ulrich Luz, paraphrased by Frederick Dale Bruner ⸻ 4. How Do We Grow in Faith for Prayer? • Fight doubt by deepening trust in God's character through Scripture and prayer. • Ask God to increase your faith. • Surround yourself with people of strong faith. • Read accounts of powerful prayer in history. (Great book: E.M. Bounds —On Prayer) • Seek God's will for what you're praying—He will reveal it. ⸻ 5. Don't Settle for Less • Jesus gave His life to give us access to God in prayer—why would He do this if our prayers were powerless? • Don't reinterpret Jesus' words to fit your experience. Instead, pursue the experience Jesus promised. • There is real power in prayer when we remove hindrances, pray in faith, and seek God's will. Discussion Questions: 1. What stood out to you from Sundays message? 2. How does looking at the way the disciples prayed in the book of Acts shape your confidence in Jesus' words about prayer? 3. Of the hindrances to prayer which do you most relate to? Why? 4. Do you think doubt is a bigger struggle with God's ability or His willingness? 5. Who in your life strengthens your faith when you struggle with doubt?

This Monday morning, I want to remind you of a truth that we Christians often forget: there is power in prayer!
Prayer is a universal practice that transcends religious and cultural boundaries. As we consider prayer, it poses questions like whether there is a right way to pray, how to pray effectively, and where the power in prayer truly comes from. Throughout this episode, we explore the challenges believers face in maintaining a consistent prayer life and how the power of nothing propels us to seek God with boldness and persistence. Gain insight into understanding God not as a reluctant friend but as a loving Father eager to hear from us. Discover the transformative principles that emerge from having nothing, leading to bold and persistent prayers that strengthen your relationship with God. Learn how persistence in prayer can overcome apathy, change your heart, refine your prayers, and keep you dependent on God. If you struggle with maintaining a prayer routine, this episode offers encouragement to start where you are and make gradual steps towards a deeper and more effective prayer life.

In this latest episode, Pastor Matt Brown touches on moving past just "checking a box" when we pray. Instead, using prayer to have real and honest words with God. Giving God our whole selves in order to witness the incredible transformation through prayer.
Discover the incredible strength of earnest and unceasing prayer as we explore Peter's miraculous escape from prison—a testament to the church's fervent prayers. Learn why prayer should be a priority in our churches and lives, and how, through prayer, the impossible becomes possible. Remember, when you feel alone or face insurmountable challenges, Pastor Duane Brooks reminds you that prayer not only connects us to God but can also lead to miraculous deliverance. Have faith, and let your prayers be heard.Message based on Acts 12:1-19. Quotes: Karl Barth: To clasp the hands in prayer is the beginning of an uprising against the disorder of the world. God is not deaf, but listens; more than that, he acts. God does not act in the same way whether we pray or not. Prayer exerts an influence upon God's action. That is what the word “answer” means.Duane Brooks: As long as the church is praying, the world has a prayer. Ephesians 6:10-12: Finally brothers and sisters, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God because you know that our struggle is not against flesh and blood but against the rulers, the authorities, the powers of this dark world, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.Duane Brooke: When God does what He can do, it is enough. Sky Jethani: Why do we pray? To manipulate God? To give us positive thoughts? The reason we pray—through there are many—is because when we pray as the people of God, we are displaying the manifold wisdom of God to the powers and authorities in the heavenly realm. What we are declaring when we are on our knees is that we will not put our hope and trust in the things of this world. We will not put our trust and hope in our wealth, in our strength, in our wisdom, in our kings, in our politicians, in anything we possess, but we are putting our trust in God alone. And when the heavenly powers see that kind of foolish wisdom, they tremble because they do not comprehend it. When we are on our knees in prayer, we are revealing the counter-intuitive wisdom of the kingdom of God—the wisdom that says that power is not found in aggression or anger or war or swords or kings, but power is found in weakness. It was weakness that overcame the world to the Cross, and it is the weakness of the church in prayer that will make a mockery of the strength of the powers of this world.Sidlow Baxter: Men may spurn our appeals, reject our message, oppose our arguments, despise our persons -- but they are helpless against our prayersEphesians 6:17-18: Pray in the spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and petitions. With this in mind be alert and always keep on praying for all of God's people.Thomas Watson: The angel fetched Peter out of prison, but it was prayer fetched the angel.James 1:5-8: If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. 6 But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. 7 That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. 8 Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do.Bonhoeffer prays: "Lord, it's dark in me; in you is day.I am alone, but you will stay.I am afraid; you never cease.I am at war; in you is peace."The fellow inmate believed . . .To discover more messages of hope go to tallowood.org/sermons/.Follow us on Instagram, X, and YouTube @tallowoodbc.Follow us on FaceBook @tallowoodbaptist
