Back in the Paddock, examining what we can expect of our growing prayer lives. We say the last episode on growth, John in 1 John 2 spiritually speaking, there are children, young men, and fathers. (The Biblical language here is inclusive. Both sexes are included in his exhortation and description.) Today, we examine our "young men" phase in spiritual growth.  We are reminded by Paul from 1 Corinthians 12 and Ephesians 4 that we are empowered and gifted by the Holy Spirit with spiritual gifts. These gifts are given to every Christian to build up the Church in the spread of the gospel. Everyone is called to serve in the Church regardless of who we are. If young men or Christians who have matured past childhood are described this way: "I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one." 1 John 2:13b and I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one. 1 John 2:14b. We understand the knowledge of God's word for all His people.  Then, our prayers should be occupied with learning and living out God's word.  "All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; 17 that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work." 2 Timothy 3:16 "Therefore, putting aside all malice and all guile and hypocrisy and envy and all slander, 2 like newborn babes, long for the pure milk of the word, that by it you may grow in respect to salvation, 3 if you have tasted the kindness of the Lord." 1 Peter 2:1-3 "If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it shall be done for you. 8 "By this is My Father glorified, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be My disciples." John 15:6-8 Our so what? Whoever, however, and wherever you are serving the kingdom of God, we not only pray for fruit but for the power of God to give us more and more knowledge, discernment, and the exercise of His word.  "What a man is on his knees before God, that he is and nothing more."
