“ALTAR BUILDERS:

MEETING GOD
THROUGH PRAYER”
DO YOU KNOW
HOW TO PRAY?
WHEN WAS THE
LAST TIME YOU
HAVE PRAYED?
WHAT WERE YOUR
PRAYERS?
Mark 1:35

“And rising very early in the morning, while it

was still dark, he departed and went out to a
desolate place, and there he prayed. “
What is the Importance of a Prayer
Altar?

John 15:4-5 ESV

“Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear
fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you,
unless you abide in me. I am the vine; you are the
branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is
that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do
nothing.”
Things to remember
when you meet God
through prayer:
1. Know your identity

Question:
Is your relationship in the Lord is
strong enough to know that what
other say about you doesn’t
change who you are?
Sometimes, our prayer
depends of the knowledge of
who we are.
How do you expect to know your
purpose if you don’t even
understand who you are?
In fact, we often experience identity
theft, because we are choosing to
believe the lies of the enemy. 

John 10:10
The thief comes only to steal and
10 

kill and destroy; I have come that

they may have life, and have it to the
full.”
Jesus is limited in what He
can do in your life because
you are trapped in a wrong
identity.
Importance of knowing our
God-given identity:
1. GIVES YOU CONFIDENCE AND AUTHORITY

Psalm 139:14
“I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully
made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.”
Importance of knowing our
God-given identity:
2.
GIVES YOU VALIDATION AND INCREASES
YOUR FAITH.

2 Corinthians 5:20
We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God
 ”

were making his appeal through us. We implore you on

Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God. “
Importance of knowing our
God-given identity:
2. PUTS YOU IN A BETTER POSITION TO
UNDERSTAND YOUR PURPOSE. 

Proverbs 19:21 
“Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the
Lord’s purpose that prevails.”
“If you believe the rest of your
life that you are worthless, a
failure, it will be harder for you
to worship a God who thought
you are worth dying for. “
Things to remember when you
meet God through prayer:
2. HAVE AN HONEST TALK WITH GOD

Genesis 15:1-3
“O Sovereign LORD, what good are all your blessings
when I don’t even have a son? Since you’ve given me no
children, Eliezer of Damascus, a servant in my household,
will inherit all my wealth. You have given me no
descendants of my own, so one of my servants will be my
heir”
God wants us to converse with Him. And He values
honesty as part of that communication. Why? Because
honesty indicates trust on the deepest level, a confidence
in the other person’s love and respect. If we can’t be
honest about our feelings with God, then we need to ask
why.
Being honest with God means you can come to God’s
presence and He can handle the full weight of what you
are dealing with
 THINGS TO PUT IN MIND WHEN
HAVING AN HONEST WITH GOD:

1. Remember that God knows our thoughts and

feelings.
2. Remember that God loves us.
3. Remember that God is God and we are not.
Things to remember when you
meet God through prayer:
3. HUMILITY IN PRAYER

Matthew 23:12
“For those who exalt themselves will be
humbled, and those who humble themselves will
be exalted.”
Prayer acknowledges what Jesus said in 
John 15:5: “You can do nothing without me” 

Prayer is humble because when we pray, we are

saying that God is merciful and mighty, that He
is wise and sovereign, and that He knows far
better than us what is best for us.
When we pray to God and repent, it should come
with humility.

It isn’t difficult to understand that repentance—

admitting that we were wrong and promising to
live a new way—isn’t possible without
humility. 
When are the times that are not humble in our prayer to God?
There are a lot of battles and struggles we tend to question why of
all people, we have to experience it? And sometimes we do not
notice that instead of humbly asking God “why?”, we
began demanding to know “why”. Because we were unsatisfied
with not knowing how He was going to fix everything, and we
required God to prove His goodness to us. Eventually, He became
quiet. This turned into a destructive cycle. We’d grow in arrogance
and pride and demand He prove Himself more, and He would get
quieter, which only caused our anger and doubt to intensify. 
We just have to realized the relationship between gratefulness
and joy, and, being aware that we are lacking joy, we have to
decide to switch our perspective and approach to God.

Maybe we should just start just thanking Him for anything

you could think of. Start thanking Him for all of the promises
that He fulfilled though you hadn’t seen their fulfillment yet.
Slowly, your heart will become lighter and the voice of God
became louder. 
Humility Leads to Closeness with God
Pray from the secret place: draw near to
God and discover how breakthrough
prayers are born in these intimate
encounters.
