As discussed in a previous podcast we notice in Luke 11:1 that Jesus'  disciples had a need and a desire to be taught to pray. Since Jesus is no longer with us in the flesh, God has set men and women in the church with the gift of teaching to help us develop as Christians. In this episode we will discuss the gift of the teacher that God has placed in the church and how we can use this gift in our quest to have a better prayer life.

When we believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and savior we immediately receive the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit comes to dwell within us and witness to our spirits that we are children of God. As children of God we can pray knowing that God is our father and we are members of his family. Because of this we can be assured that God (our father) will answer our prayers.

In Luke 11:1, Jesus’ disciples made a request to learn how to pray. We see from this request  that effective prayer has to be learned. The disciple asked, “Lord, teach us to pray.”  After witnessing Jesus pray, he saw his own inadequacies in the area of prayer and realized that he needed to be taught by the Master, the Lord Jesus Himself. Join us in this episode as we discuss the need to be taught to pray and how we are able to learn this discipline.

It is important for us to realize that we have to learn how to pray effectively. Everyone knows how to pray to some degree, but not everyone knows how to pray and get results on a consistent basis. Jesus’ own disciples realized they needed to be taught to pray. In Luke 11:1, His disciples made a request to learn how to pray.

Although Jesus was the Son of God and equal with God, in the days when He walked on this earth, He felt Himself utterly dependent on a Power higher than Himself—God the Father. Jesus, Himself, needed to pray.

In this introductory podcast we will  introduce our selves, explain our podcast name, outline our first few podcasts episodes and begin our discuss by answering the question, What is prayer?
