Our great example and instructor in prayer is the Lord Jesus Christ.

In God's Word, we find everything we need to develop a life of prayer.

Join Scott Pauli today as we study the Bible together.

We're going to learn a Bible word today that is not often used now in our society.

It is a word that sounds a little unusual. It sounds like

another word we use frequently, but it's a powerful word. And it is found in Luke chapter number

11 in this story that Jesus is teaching his disciples and all of us about prayer. We're talking

about the keys to the open door,

and we've discovered the key of opportunity,

the key of charity, the key of necessity in our prayers.

But now we come to a fourth and a very powerful key.

Luke chapter 11, verse 5,

and he said to them,

which of you shall have a friend and shall go

to him at midnight and say unto him friend lend me three loaves for a friend of mine in his

journey has come to me and I have nothing to set before him and he from within shall answer

and say trouble me not the door is now shut and my children are with me in bed.

I cannot rise and give thee. I say unto you, though he will not rise and give him because he is his

friend, yet because of his importunity, he will rise and give him as many as he

needeth there's the word in verse number eight it is the word in opportunity now

opportunity is a word we we well understand opportunity means you can come anytime

the doors open we've talked about that key.
