Welcome to Gospel Truth with Andrew Wamman, a teaching ministry emphasizing God's unconditional love and grace.

This special life teaching on a better way to pray was recorded at our 2019 Texas

Gospel Truth seminar.

And now here's Andrew.

All right, let's turn over here to 1st Timothy,

chapter 2, and what I want to do,

I've been teaching on prayer if you haven't been here for this whole thing

and man, we've covered some radical stuff in three

services already and I taught on what prayer is not we countered a lot of

religious traditions and then I taught on what prayer is

about how it's really for just relationship with the Lord, loving the Lord,

fellowshiping with the Lord, not asking for things.

It is appropriate to ask, but it shouldn't be a majority.

It ought to be a very small portion of your relationship with God

is confessing, repenting, and asking, but the majority of prayer ought to be just

fellowshiping with God, and we can actually minister unto God. I talked about all of those things.

Last night I was dealing from Mark Chapter 11. about how Jesus said that when you pray you have to believe you receive when you pray and we use the example of him speaking to the fig tree and how he actually told us that anything is possible to us if we would speak directly to our problem and use our authority in Christ instead of asking God to do things

for us.

The majority of the body of Christ doesn't understand this.

They come to the Lord as if they have nothing, no power, no authority,

and say, God, we are nothing, we have nothing, we can do nothing,

but we ask you to do this. You will die praying that way.
