Our tagline for the last five years is not to encourage, exhort, and perhaps educate (a little) on the type of prayer life that lifts our affections to the abundant life and glorifies God.  Today, we look to the apostle John for the Biblical stages he gives us in spiritual growth in general, and then apply those stages to prayer.  John outlines in John 2:12-14 we are spiritual children, young men, and fathers. The prayer of children (spiritually) might include the following: "And when His disciples James and John saw this, they said, "Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them?" Luke 9:54 "Or when they asked to sit at the right hand and left hand of God." Matthew 20:23 The prayer of young men (spiritually) might include: Paul prayed for boldness and the right words as he preached the gospel everywhere.  Ephesians 6:19-20 The prayer of spiritual fathers (spiritually) might include: Jesus prayed, "Sanctify them in the truth; Thy word is truth." John 17:17 Our "So What?" New at prayer, blurt out to God what is on your heart. Growing prayer, pray for knowledge, power, and discernment to fulfill your spiritual gifts. A father in prayer, prayer for the spiritual needs of others.  Thank You, Jesus! "What a man is on his knees before God, that he is and nothing more."
