Foundation, Faith & Fire // Pastor Dominick Butler
If you don't love to pray, you don't know Him. Knowing Him creates a deep longing for prayer.
Jer 33:3; "Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know." God desires to answer us, and on top of that He desires to show us great and mighty things which we do not know.
Last night we established three imperative pillars for growth in prayer.
1) Foundation- For no one can lay any foundation other than the one we already have—Jesus Christ. (1 Cor 3 : 11)
2) Faith- that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love (Eph 3 : 17)
3) Fire - For our God is a consuming fire. (Heb 12 : 29)
Christ is the Word of God. He is the foundation of all conversation of prayer. When faith lays hold of that, you pursue Him by faith. As you pursue Him, the fire of God will refine & purify your motives and desires. He is jealous for you and wants to deliver you from the love of the world. Real prayer destroys worldly cravings and replaces them with Heaven's desires.
