Topic: Desperate Prayers
Text: Mark 10:46-52
We need to Pray because the Spiritual controls the Physical. Job 1,2.
God is the greatest of all Spirits. John 4:24
God made all. Genesis 1:1. God owns all. Psalm 24:1. God controls all. Isaiah 66:1. God gives an advice for us to call on Him and He'll answer us.
Categories of Prayers:
1. Casual Prayers. Like Peter in the Garden of Gethesmane.
2. Regular Prayers. Matthew 6:9-13
3. Desperate Prayers. These ones bring about turnaround. 2 Kings 4:1-7.
Casual Prayer is okay when you have no problems
Regular Prayers are what some Christians do
Desperate Prayers are what desperate people pray.
Characteristics of Desperate Prayers:
1. Protocols are not observed when you are praying desperate Prayers. When Peter was sinking he cried to God! Desperate Prayers are not quiet!
At that point you are not a "lady" or a "gentleman" because you are desperate. You become a warrior!
2. They are violent prayers, Forceful prayers. Matthew 11:12, Mark 2:1-12. When desperate people pray their violent prayers, they shake the house!
3. If only one person is desperate in a group of people praying, the fellow will disturb the rest.
Matthew 15:21-28. People praying desperate Prayers know they have reached their final bus stop and only God can now save them. So, they pray and cry to Him with all they've got!
4. It arrests the attention of Heaven. Colossians 1:16-17. When you pray desperate Prayers, you arrest the attention of the one who never fails and he stops to attend to you.
There are things you think you can't achieve; it is either because what is chasing you is not big enough or what you are chasing is not big enough. You pray Desperate Prayers when you know there's no Plan B! It's either God helps me or I'm sunk.
We know that God doesn't hear sinners. John 9:31, Isaiah 59:1-2
So, there's no need to pray desperate Prayers if you are in sin. The only prayer He'll hear is for Him to save your soul. You have to come to Him to save your soul so He can hear you. Come now!
Prayer:
You know that situation in your life that needs an urgent answer. I want you to cry to God tonight.
Tell Him it is a matter or never!! Cry to God now
