Sunday sermon – “Prayer, Fasting, Power and Faith” presented by: Glenn Geeting (11/29/2015)
GLENN’S NOTES:
Sermon- prayer, fasting, power & faith
Intro: Wish I could say this is a strength for me, but I am so easily distracted
and so busy that I often struggle with praying.
G- do you believe in me? God- do you believe in me?
prayer, meditation, & fasting
Not praying fast.
Visualize to actualize. Say it with me.
Fasting- great health benefits. Combats “leaky gut syndrome”
Doctors consult: You won’t die. Human being can survive for about 3 wks
without food.
After a day or so, remarkable clarity, creativity.
Diet trick- have dinner around 6pm and don’t eat after dinner- at least 12h to
rest your gut & body.
Prayer is a demonstration of our faith, and prayer builds our faith.
Mk 9
Coming off the mountain after the transfiguration, hanging out with Moses and
Elijah. Peter wanted to hang out longer, but J was ready to come back down,
work to do.
Mk 9:14-29
14When they came to the other disciples, they saw a large crowd around
them and the teachers of the law arguing with them. 15As soon as all the
people saw Jesus, they were overwhelmed with wonder and ran to greet
him.
16“What are you arguing with them about?” he asked.
17A man in the crowd answered, “Teacher, I brought you my son, who is
possessed by a spirit that has robbed him of speech. 18Whenever it
seizes him, it throws him to the ground. He foams at the mouth, gnashes
his teeth and becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to drive out the spirit,
but they could not.”
1. Fixing before praying- not faith
Trying to fix something before praying about it- not a sign of faith. Sign of a
lack of faith.
I’m a fixer. Drives Heather nuts sometimes.
I have learned to pray for my patients while finishing their charts at the end of
a shift.
So often we struggle trying to fix something we’re not meant to fix. We’ve got
to let God be God. We end up stressed about something that doesn’t belong
to us. We try all kinds of things except enlisting our Creator.
A prayerless person is a faithless person.
“The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” (James 5:16)
Prayer is powerful and effective. How is your personal righteousness? Is
repentance a lifestyle?
When the apostles failed due to their lack of faith, where did J point for the
solution? Prayer.
We all have the sticky problems that thwart us. Tried everything.
Have your prayed? Not once or twice and not just going through the motions,
but really prayed? Have you fasted for it? Have you meditated on what Gods
Word says about it?
19“You unbelieving generation,” Jesus replied, “how long shall I stay
with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy to me.”
2. Bring it to J
Fix our eyes on J.
We jump in to solve problems before we bring each other to Jesus.
Friend of mine- I need accountability. Where is the word accountability in the
Bible? What does the Bible say we need from one another? faith,
encouragement, confession, prayer.
Need regular discipling, prayer together. Not getting this- not obeying J,
missing out.
Then things really get interesting!
20So they brought him. When the spirit saw Jesus, it immediately threw
the boy into a convulsion. He fell to the ground and rolled around,
foaming at the mouth.
21Jesus asked the boy’s father, “How long has he been like this?”
“From childhood,” he answered. 22“It has often thrown him into fire or
water to kill him. But if you can do anything, take pity on us and help
us.”
23“ ‘If you can’?” said Jesus. “Everything is possible for one who
believes.”
3. Especially the longstanding problems
Long time- can affect our faith. We get worn down.
Ex. Friends- marriage challenges- tried everything- discipling, reading,
professional counseling, we just need to pray- every day. Seeing growth like
never before.
Everything is possible for one who believes! Everything that God has
promised.
24Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed, “I do believe; help me
overcome my unbelief!”
25When Jesus saw that a crowd was running to the scene, he rebuked
the impure spirit. “You deaf and mute spirit,” he said, “I command you,
come out of him and never enter him again.”
26The spirit shrieked, convulsed him violently and came out. The boy
looked so much like a corpse that many said, “He’s dead.” 27But Jesus
took him by the hand and lifted him to his feet, and he stood up.
28After Jesus had gone indoors, his disciples asked him privately, “Why
couldn’t we drive it out?”
29He replied, “This kind can come out only by prayer.”
4. This kind can come out only by prayer
We have these problems- tried everything, unable to solve it. Fix my husband,
wife, kids, work, lack of work, purity, anxiety, …
Don’t get frustrated and give up, get faithful! Pray powerfully.
People say, “I’ll believe it when I see it.” God says, “believe it and you’ll see
it.”
People say, “Show me and I’ll believe you.” God says “Believe me and I’ll
show you.”
Break board:
Need 2 things: follow directions, faith
Life: need 2 things: follow directions of your Designer, Faith
Don’t hit the board, hit through the board- emblematic of life.
What does this have to do w Prayer & Fasting? Visualize the break before it
happens, gives you the strength to try.
Hurts more to not break the board. Results measured faith- do you faithfully
finish or give up?
In prayer & meditation, direct your mind & your Creator’s
In fasting- focus your energy, every time hungry, pray about what you’re
fasting about.
To be a Christian in the 21st C, we need to have great strength. To imitate
Christ in our world, we will have to stand strong in the face of ignorant
persecution, love our enemies, never back down in exposing evil and bringing
justice for the oppressed, pray until blood mixes with sweat, be prepared to die
like our Lord, and never play the victim card.
From where will that strength come? Visualize to Actualize.
Concl- put it into practice now: fast until the end of service,
Let’s stand and pray together, faithfully, with conviction, one of Paul’s prayers.
For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in
heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious
riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner
being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray
that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together
with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and
deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses
knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of
God. Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or
imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory
in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever
and ever! Amen. ( Ephesians 3 : 14-21 NIV)
