In this message from Terry Timm, we delve into the transformative concept of partnering with God to shape the world around us. Drawing from Luke 11:1-13, we see Jesus teaching His disciples how to pray, highlighting the importance of persistence and faith. Prayer is portrayed not just as a passive act, but as a dynamic partnership with the Divine to "bend the arc of human history" towards God's kingdom. This message challenges us to view prayer as an act of "spiritual defiance" against forces opposing God's will. Jesus encourages us to ask boldly, seek diligently, and knock persistently, trusting in a loving Father who desires to give good gifts to His children. As we reflect on this, we are invited to examine our belief in the power of prayer and to embrace our role as "shapers of the future" through intercession.
