Free Range Preacher on Prayer podcast. Season 8: Free Range Tagline - Growing, Biblical, Dynamic, Sincere, Soul-Satisfying, God-Glorifying Prayer Life.
Thank you for listening. 7 new countries added, new, thank you, returning, brave, and patient. I am humbled by that, too; I’ve got to figure out how to mention you without adding too much time to the podcast. We will, with God’s help, figure it out. But for now:
We begin each new season with brief reviews of our purpose. Today, we kick off our review with a modified quote, the quote that, it turns out, nobody said. “The price of knowledge is eternal review.” That is an accurate and helpful quote, I know, because I heard it!
Our tagline.
Growing, Biblical, Dynamic, Sincere, Soul-Satisfying, God-Glorifying Prayer Life.
Growing, as in spiritual growth, all the writers of Scripture, John 15, Jesus calling the disciples His friends, is an example of their relationship growth, 1 Peter 2, he says grow, 2 Timothy 3:16-17 growth, is what the scriptures bring, the Hebrews talks of maturity, James 1, 1 John, children, young men, Fathers. We have grown in our conversation.
Biblical, the family language, we’ll talk about that soon. But we grow in vocabulary and content in our communication with God.
Dynamic, real conversation is dynamic. The “Ultimate Lexicon” defines dynamic this way (anything that) “pertaining to processes, forces, or properties characterized by constant change, activity, or progress,” it added energetic.
Jesus says, "Each day has enough trouble of its own; that alone will make our prayers dynamic."
Sincere, God wants truth from us. Psalm 51:6 “Behold, Thou dost desire truth in the innermost being, And in the hidden part Thou wilt make me know wisdom.”
He wants us - not necessarily a script - unless it reveals our innermost being.
Soul-satisfying, when I started the podcast, this was the one I spoke of least, thinking it too selfish or self-centered to be valid, but: Luther, Calvin, Knox, Perkins, a guy named Anthony Burgess, stuffy, exacting theologians one and all. Yet all raise the question of the validity of our affections or emotions fostered in prayer. How we are satisfied as we grow in intimacy with our God, through prayer, just remember, you, yes, you are called to pour out your heart to Him, and that is satisfying to our souls.
Lastly, our communion: a growing, Biblical, dynamic, sincere, supernaturally soul-satisfying prayer life will be:
God-glorifying, he is our adoptive dad who resides in heaven, the creation of which we are a part. We call out “abba Father,” He is the majestic I AM, the only one. He shares His glory with no one else.
Our so What?
And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father. In Colossians 3:17, Paul adds, "Give glory to God” even as we eat or drink, in 1 Corinthians 10.
How much more will our prayers result in, and give Him the glory due His name.
“Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen”
1 Timothy 1:17
Brethren, let's pray for one another.
