Jesus Teaches Prayer - The Secret Blessing of Confession Pt. 1

The Puritans used the term "secret" counsel of God and "secret" prayer, in other words, truths hidden or dimly acknowledged by fallen humanity. The confession on the redeemed has a secret blessing… David and Peter illustrate to us: Luke 7:47 “For this reason I say to you, her sins, which are many, have been forgiven, for she loved much; but he who is forgiven little, loves little.” Our love for God increases exponentially as we are mindful of the miry clay of sin we have been redeemed from....

Jesus Teaches Prayer - Give Us this Day Pt. 2

This episode is a short review of the faith and prayer of one man dedicated to living in complete dependence and contentment in the presence of the Holy God of the universe. George Muller, a man of faith, proved God will supply strictly through prayer and faith. In his integrity, he is said to have fifty-thousand positive answers to prayer throughout his life. He also lived out the Puritan concept that we kiss the hand that afflicts, trusting in His mercies and grace to His beloved. But the ...

Jesus Teaches Prayer - Give Us this Day Pt. 1

Back to Jesus teaches prayer from the Sermon on the Mount and The Lord's Prayer. Not Really the Lord's prayer as in we mindlessly repeat words. God is never moved by a formula or man's pious repetition of His Son our Savior's words. This passage, Matthew 6:9-13 "Pray, then, in this way: 'Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy name. 10 'Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, On earth as it is in heaven. 11 'Give us this day our daily bread. 12 'And forgive us our debts, as we also have fo...

Devotional 57 Closing Prayer in 2020 for 2021

We have finished up 2020 with the Free Range Preacher’s prayer for our listeners, myself, and all my loved ones. The outline of this 2021 prayer is we remember and experience: Our prayers are heard, Luke 1:13 We serve the God of the impossible, Luke 1:37 We will not forget even though we may feel: 2 Corinthians 4:7-10 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the surpassing greatness of the power may be of God and not from ourselves; we are afflicted in every way, but not crushed;...

Closing Episode/Prayer of 2020 Part 3

A significant aspect of the abundant life available to the household of God is the Biblical context in which we can live our lives. Our God is the Builder and Ruler of all creation. He is the God who hears. He is the God of the impossible. He is the God who shows lovingkindness to all generations. Our 2021 corporate prayer is based on the above truths; to the end, our lives make sense in the context of eternal life. We will be praying: We give glory to God. Luke 1:14 “Glory to God in the...

Closing Episode/Prayer of 2020 Part 2

Our initial encouragement in part one, we were reminded our prayers are being heard. The God of all the universe, our Creator and our Savior, makes this truth all the more magnificent when we know, from heavenly angels… Luke 1:37 “For nothing will be impossible with God.” What joy and glory! The object of our prayers is the God of the impossible! As we pray, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven, without the sure knowledge given to Zacharias, and Mary in Luke 1, we by faith agree w...

Free Range Preacher's Closing Episode/Prayer of 2020 Part 1

We here at Free Range Preacher Ministries have proposed our world is now in the midst of our lifetimes' first global corporate trial. The bad news is we are all together even as the people of God, are feeling to one degree another what Paul described in 2 Corinthians 4:7-9 "But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the surpassing greatness of the power may be of God and not from ourselves; 8 we are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing; 9 persecuted, b...

Jesus Teaches Prayer/ October 2020 - Devotional Gratitude for God's Will - Our Heart’s Desire

The encouraging truth of Scripture is when we are conforming to the will of God in: Saved Spirit-filled Sanctified Suffering Submissive Saying thanks We are free to do what our hearts desire!!! The most encouraging truth of Scripture is that as we mature in the will of God: Saved Spirit-filled Sanctified Suffering Submissive Saying thanks Our will, will be increasingly His will, and our heart’s desire will reflect the heart of Almighty God in His love, justice, and the joy of our ...

Devotional 56 The Lord’s Prayer: Our, Us, We...

I may not understand precisely how to use Conjunction Junction, what's your function?, but I do know the adjectives used in the Sermon on the Mount remind us of the privilege and responsibility of unselfish prayers. It is a stunning realization that God not only decrees what is going to happen, but He also decrees the how or the means through which all things will happen; the significance of that is we are called to be an active part of what He is doing. The means He has chosen, prayer. Isn't ...

A Conversation about Learning Prayer with My Babies pt. 1

Part one of my conversation with my children concerning prayer. Over the last two years of attempting to teach, encourage, and exhort God’s people to a growing, Biblical, dynamic prayer life, it occurred to me that I did not formally teach prayer to my two children. Today, I have the opportunity to introduce my children to you all: Casaundra J, my Daughter of Strength. Fred M, my Son of Promise. And to ask them how they learned to pray. We began our discussion by asking how did they learn ...

Jesus Teaches Prayer/ October 2020 - Devotional Gratitude for God's Will - Saying Thanks

A reoccurring theme of this here podcast is Thanksgiving. No matter what our circumstance, rejoicing in victory, or exulting in our tribulations, we remember the words of our blessed Redeemer: Luke 10:20 “Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are recorded in heaven.” Therefore we never lack an eternal, humbling reason to be thankful and express our gratitude to the Holy God of the universe. Hear a prayer bathed in meekness and ...
