  • Summary

  • Sermon Audio: Pray with Persistence Speaker: Pastor Val Watkins Scripture Text: Luke 11:5-13, Luke 18:1-7 Duration: 26:43 Size: 15.5 MB Prayer That Works Pray with Persistence Luke 11:5-13, Luke 18:1-7 I suspect there are people who do the same thing with prayer...they use prayer's power sparingly. Did you know this is the only time in the entire Gospels when the disciples explicitly asked the greatest teacher who ever lived to teach them something? Jesus was the greatest teacher that ever lived, and He knew that a fundamental principle of teaching is that you never learn anything without being a little disturbed. But the scripture goes on to say that even though your neighbor won't give you the bread because of friendship, yet because of your "shameless audacity" he will give you what you need. Are we really supposed to be the little old lady who is so persistent with her requests that an unrighteous judge is afraid she's going to beat him up? We don't just ask once. In both of these stories, the emphasis is that the asker kept asking. A ASK and it will be given to you: when you are in need of something, you ask for it. S SEEK and you will find; when you are looking for something, you seek it (wisdom, peace, answers, something you've lost). K KNOCK and the door will be opened: when you want to see someone, or when you want access to somewhere, you knock on the door. Would anyone ever accuse you of shameless audacity in your prayers? Or do you come to God timidly, afraid you are going to bother him? Afraid you are going to make him mad?
