The God Who Answers Prayer
Ephesians 3:20-21
A Bold Declaration:
“Prayer changes nothing” – Dr. Donald Grey Barnhouse
Statement of Truth:
The goal of our prayers is not merely the answer we receive but rather the purpose of prayer is the Glory of God!
I. GOD IS ABLE TO ANSWER YOUR BIGGEST REQUEST

i. Speaks of God’s Omnipotence

b. God is at work within us
Good news: The power you need is already at work within you
Statement of Truth:
The stronger you feel the more self-sufficient you become. The weaker you feel the more you will learn to lean on Him.
