Buried beneath this ground is the secret to an abundant Christian life. So, let's see what's under here that shall we? IPhone, what's the film got to do with anything? Well, since you asked, will you to imagine that your Earthly father lives 2,000 miles away from you? He lives on the other side of the world and there is only one way you can stay in touch with him. Jinora is it's through a phone call now. Wouldn't it be the craziest
thing in the world? If you decided to bury your phone in the ground, I mean, you wouldn't be Surprised. If after a week went by two weeks, a month, a year went by that, you felt totally disconnected from your Earthly father. So my dear brothers and sisters, may I gently challenge you with this? Have you buried your phone in the ground? You see there is only one way we can stay in touch of our heavenly father and it's through prayer.
But at this point, I think it's very important that I confess myself to you guys. Listen. I can have a two-hour conversation with my friends, multiple times a week. And yet, on this hand, I could probably count the amount of times. I've had a two-hour conversation with the Lord God. So over to you now, do you find prayer heart? Well, if you watch this video all the way through, and I'm confident if you follow this method that I'm going to share
with you in a moment's time. You also will see tremendous blessing poured out upon your life. So here's the axe method of praying a stands for adoration. Now my dear friends, you and I need to know something about God. God is not a butler. God is not a vending. Machine, when we bow in the presence of God, we need to remember just who he is. So before you ask anything of the Lord God you need to remember, God is a God who dwells in unapproachable light.
He is a God who created the whole universe, the wind and the waves obey him. He is the god who can raise the dead. So what I like to do every single morning when I pray is the first thing I do is I remind myself of the attributes of God of the mercy of God, the Judgment of God. The Compassion of God, the wrath of God, and I pray these things through, and then often are
preach the gospel to myself. So I let these truths sink into my heart and then I'm ready to come before the Lord God with a heart of reverence. Now, before we go any further, I do think it's very important for you. To remember this. You've got to be you, you've got to be authentic the Lord God sees right through you.
And if you're trying to be elegant, if you're trying to be like the pastor at your church, who has these big Grand words, the Lord No, that's not you and God wants you to be you. That's how he made you. He gave you the personality, you've got, and he wants you to be yourself. The Bible actually says in Romans 8, verse 26, for we do not know what we should pray for as we all, but the spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings, which cannot
be uttered. You know, you probably don't realize this about me, but I struggled to get my words out very often, they can be incoherent and people don't understand. Know what I'm saying, but that's okay because that the Holy Spirit takes our prayers and he sort of filters that he sort of translate them and makes them into beautiful. Sweet Aromas, that smells so lovely before the nostrils of God.
So you don't have to be elegant because the holy spirit will make your prayers elegant for you. After we've praise the Lord God. The next thing we want to do is see is for confession 1, John 1, verse 9 says this, if we confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive us of our sins and to cleanse us of all unrighteousness. So every single morning and sometimes the list is quite long. I'll remember the sins that I did yesterday. Father.
Forgive me for how jealous I was of someone yesterday. Lord, forgive me, that I was quite proud. I was greedy. I was ungrateful, and I will remember all of these sins. And then after I've named these sins and confess them. I'll say cleanse me in the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. And what I'm doing there is I'm telling God that I I know it is only by his work on the cross. It is only by Jesus Christ shedding his perfect blood on that cross. That's the only way I can be
forgiven. That's the only way I can ever gain a place in heaven and that brings us to my favorite one. The letter T T is for Thanksgiving. Philippians 4 verse 6 says this be anxious for nothing but in everything by prayer and supplication with Thanksgiving, let your requests. Made known to God that you catch what it said at the beginning. It said, be anxious for nothing now between you and me, I am probably the biggest worrier you
will ever meet. I worry about everything and it is quite crippling at times, but here's why I love Thanksgiving so much because when I come before God and I start thanking him for everything, he's done in my life. I find it very hard to be ungrateful. I find it very hard to worry. I find it very hard to be concerned about the future because I just look at all. All of the good things he's done in my life already. Thank you, God, that I have a nine-month-old baby Samuel.
Thank you. God, that I have the very book which is inspired by you the Bible. Thank you. Lord, God for this ministry. Thank you, Lord. God that I have health today. I'm breathing today. I can see today, I'm able to walk today. So I recommend this just in your own. Life will be different in every single person's life, but there's always something to give thanks for. And the Bible says, in the last days, people will be on. Fold.
And that should never be said about God's church because we have so much to smile about if it not be this, that our names are written in heaven. So A is for adoration, C is for confession, T is for Thanksgiving. An S is for supplication. Well, that's an old-fashioned word Joe. What does supplication mean it comes from that meaning to supply? You know, that verse that says he will supply your every need. And that's what we do. Every day.
We bring our requests. Our knees are once before the Lord God and say, would you answer this prayer? Heavenly Father, some Christians feel a little bit sensitive about this and they say, don't give God a shopping list. Well, I think God doesn't mind it when we bring our shopping list to him after all. He's The God. Who owns the cattle of a Thousand Hills. The Bible says, you have not because you ask not.
So at the moment, me and Emma were praying that we would be able to move house and I say that every single day, every day. I ask the Lord that he would let me win us. All. All for him everyday. I pray that the Lord would bless this ministry and did you know this every single day I pray for you watching this video. Now that God would make you into a wonderful woman of God, that God would make you into a wonderful man of God blowing out the Lord Jesus Christ.
