Prayer

Matthew 6:9-13
9 Ganito kayo mananalangin: 'Ama naming nasa langit, Sambahin nawa ang pangalan mo.
10 Ikaw nawa ang maghari sa amin, Sundin nawa ang iyong kalooban dito sa lupa tulad ng sa langit.
11 Bigyan mo kami ng pagkaing kai- langan namin sa araw na ito;
12 At patawarin mo kami sa aming mga kasalanan, Tulad ng aming pagpapatawad sa mga nagkakasala
sa amin.
13 At huwag mo kaming iharap sa mahigpit na pagsubok, Kundi ilayo mo kami sa Masama! [Sapagkat
iyo ang kaharian at ang kapangyarihan at ang kapurihan, magpakailanman! Amen.]'

Last week we’ve talk about how prayer is so important to our lives. Hindi lang dahil sa kadahilan na
makapngyarihan ang panalangin. Of course we should take prayer seriously dahil there is power in
prayer. Lalong lalo na sa buhay natin. Pero hindi lang ito ang dapat maging dahilan natin bakit tayo
mananalangin. Ang pinaka-importanteng dahilan why we need to pray, it is because prayer is our
communication to God. The more we are prayerful the more we are closer to God. Like David. Before he
make decision he talk to God. Before he will do something he prayed to God. And David ay tinagurian “A
Mans after God’s Heart.” Malapit siya sa Diyos because he is always connected to God.
This is the main reason why we need to pray.
We do not promote religion. We promote relationship to God.
At isa pang dahilan, ito ay tinuro ni Jesus. Hindi lamang sa kanyang mga Disipulo kundi sa atin
din na nakakabasa na Kanyang Salita. Ito ay mahalaga sa buhay natin dahil ito ay ay ang katuruan ng
ating Panginoon. In fact, Jesus did not teach His disciples how to preach, o kung anong pattern ang dapat
nilang gamitin sa paghahayag ng salita ng Diyos.
Kanina we have read how Jesus teach His disciples how to pray. Pero there are religios belief na
namiss understood ito. They memorized it and they used it as their prayer. They repeat it and repeat it.
Hindi tinuro ito ng Diyos to memorized. But instead He teach them a prayer as an example how should
they pray, how should they consider themselves infront of God and how they should consider who are
they talking to.

And Now we will talk about the Ten Levels of Prayer.

I. Level of Redemption. Ama namin

- It is the Level of Redemption.
- Nakaraang Linggo Rev tought us about redemption. You are now redeemed by the
blood of Jesus. He paid all your sins. The barrier between you and God has been
removed. Our sins are paid. We are now acceptable in His sight.
- Yes, we all committed sins. We are all sinner before. And the consequences of sin is
death. That means blood, death ang kabayaran sa kasalanan natin. But God redeem us
through Jesus blood. Siya ang namatay sa cross, ang kamatayan ni Cristo at ang digo ni
Kristo ang pinambayad sa ating mga kasalanan.
 - God is teaching us that we can confidently go directly to Him. That we can freely call
Him as our Father. Because according to John 1:12   Yet to all who did receive him, to
those who believed  in his name,  he gave the right to become children of God. When the
time we accepted Him in our hearts and to let Him be the Lord of our lives. He gave us
the right to call Him as our Father.
II. Level of Authority. Nasa langit ka
- The level of authority.
- Pagkilala sa kanya bilang Diyos at pagkilala sa kapangyarihan niya.
III. Level of Worship
- Prayer should not always in the form of asking. It should be in the form of
IV. Level of Government
- Pagpapasakop sa Diyos.
V. Level of Evangelism
VI. Level of Provision
VII. Level of Forgiveness
VIII. Level of Protection
IX. Level of Deliverance
- Deliverance sa tagalog ay Paglaya.
