Persevering in Prayer

Luke 18:1-8

Luke 18:1-8

Persistence is a picture of faith.

Luke 11:5-13

2 Corinthians 1:20

For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of

God.

100% of the prayers you don’t pray go unanswered.

If you pray through, God comes through.

1 Kings 18:41-46

Ezekiel 12:21-28The word of the LORD came to me: “Son of man, what is this proverb you have in the land of Israel:

‘The days go by and every vision comes to nothing’? Say to them, ‘This is what the

Sovereign LORD says: I am going to put an end to this proverb, and they will no longer quote it in

Israel.’ Say to them, ‘The days are near when every vision will be fulfilled….“Therefore say to them,

‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: None of my words will be delayed any longer; whatever I say will

be fulfilled, declares the Sovereign LORD.’”

Delay is not denial.

God said it.I believe it.

That settles it.

Exodus 14:13-14

Moses answered the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the

deliverance the LORD will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see

again. The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still.”
