We have to watch and pray
Dan 4
King Nebuchadnezzar had a dream and wanted Daniel to interpret the dream. There is an important part of the dream
Damiel 4:15-16
The subject of this dream was Nebuchadnezzar himself. He was to be givem the heart of a beast. He would become like an animal and go into the bush.
For 7 years, he would live like an animal... And at the end of that period he would come back and continue to be King and run the empire.
V17:
God can take even those non compos mentis and put them in places of authority.
We can't just leave things the way they are. We must pray. Because the spiritual controls the physical.
Romans 8:26
'help' comes from different words which means to take hold together against. Or to take hold together from the opposite side.
But it is literally the former.
That presupposes that One is joining together with another to put their forces together to work against another.
He takes hold together with us against... In our limitations and weaknesses, we form a force together against whatsoever it is thay comes against us.
Luke 10:39-41
Jesus was teaching. Mary sat at his feet to listen to his message, but we are told about Martha.
Martha was Cumbered.
Read from the RSV.
Martha was distracted with much serving.
She wasn't saying Mary should come and help with the food, but she wanted Mary to help because she was anxious and troubled about many thungs. The Master understood this .
Imagine you find yourself distracted by many things .. The holy spirit helps us in that situation so that our minds can become calm and we can have composure.
We don't even know the details of how to pray as we ought. But the holy spirit intercedes for us with deep sighs.
This is not referring to speaking in tongues. They are sighs and groanings too deep foe words. Like you are crying and you don't know why. Words are not coming out of your mouth. You are just sobbing.
The holy ghost makes intercession for the saints. Whatever you are praying about will be answered because you are prayinf by the holyghost.
V28: When you pray like that you just know everything is going to work out for your good. You just know it.
Verse 28 is based on verse 26&27
If you want everything to always turn out for your good, practice verse 26&27
Colossians 4:12... Epaphras was recorded to always do this. He laboured fervently in prayer.
It is to strive/to contend for something or with an adversary.
Epaphras got into contention with some force on behalf on the saints in Colosse.
1 Tim 6:12. Fight the good fight.
Genesis 20:17-18; 21:1
Abimelech had taken Abrahams wife until God talked to Abimelech in the night and instructed him to restore Sarah to her husband.
At this time, Abraham already had the promise that he would bear a son through Sarah but there was no pregnancy yet.
Abraham was told to pray for Abimelech.
(They had been made barren before because of Sarah)
After Abraham prayed for Abimelech's household to receive children, Sarah was able to receive her miracle too.
Job 42:
Job had lost everything.
His friends came to see him and were speculating as to what may have caused his downfall, asking him to repent of whatever sin he may have committed.
God stepped in and corrected the friends that they were wrong with what they said. God asked them to go to Job and ask him to pray for them.
Job could have refused because he was angry at them.
But he prayed for them and everything turned for his good.
V10- things turned around for him because he prayed for his friends.
God restored to him, everything and twice as much.
There is a benefit in praying for others; When you take your attention away from yourself.
God will make happen to you and for you what you make happen for others.
This month is a month of Intercession.
Create your schedules.
Give attention to the needs of others.
Be concerned about what others are going through.
Make up your mind to effect changes through prayer.
