Main Points
Introduction: A prayer I will never forget.
  • Haiti – 1982
  • A jungle compound – “hospital of pain.”
  • A professor who used the power of prayer.
  • Practice: Pray Great Prayers! --John 16:23-24

    Six characteristics of great prayers:
    1. Great prayers are deeply personal.
    2. Great prayers are birthed in bokenness.
    3. Great prayers champion God’s agenda.
    4. Great prayers take God seriously.
    5. Great prayers demand great courage!
    6. Is really a summary: Great prayers ask the improbable, expect the impossible, and receive the unthinkable because of Jesus.
      • Because of Jesus’ command, we boldly ask the improbable. --Matthew 7:7-8
      • Because of Jesus’ promise, we expect the impossible. --John 16:24
      • Because of Jesus’ power, we receive exceedingly, abundantly beyond what we can ask or think. --Ephesians 3:20
