The Battle: Part Seven

The Battle is a series that will explore the spiritual realm, spiritual warfare, angels and demons, and will also examine the signs of the return of Christ found in scripture. In this installment from our Battle series, Caleb Culver teaches on the importance of prayer. God is looking for hearts that pray with authenticity, because in a place of authenticity is where relationship begins.Focus Scripture // Romans 8:15-17, 26"For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” 16 The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 17 and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him. 26 Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words."Sermon HighlightsPrayer is the language of the KingdomPrayer is the first call to action in the KingdomGod is looking for authenticity of your heartThe place of authenticity is the place where relationship beginsGod loves you when you're at your weakest momentIf we're prayer less, we're telling God we don't need himAt any moment, you can lift up your voice and you can change history with the words that you speak
