Episode notes
Humility Is The Starting Point
- True prayer begins with the awareness that you do not belong in God's presence by your own merit.
- Humility is the only vantage point from which genuine prayer can proceed.
Set Your Will Aside For God's Will
- Set your will aside and submit your requests to God's will rather than badgering God for your desires.
- Practice self-denial in ministry by removing ego and seeking God's power, not human approval.
Pray Using 'We', Not Just 'I'
- Identify with God's people when you intercede and pray using 'we' instead of focusing on 'I'.
- Pour out your heart for the whole body of Christ and embrace mutual, communal prayer responsibility.
