Prayer – In Jesus name



Prayer is first and foremost an act of humility
John 14:14
You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.
John 14:13
And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.
Matthew 6:9-10
“This, then, is how you should pray:
“‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
God will never answer a prayer that conflicts with his will.
Prayer is a devoted pursuit to understanding God’s will
1 Corinthians 2:7-10
No, we declare God’s wisdom, a mystery that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began. 8 None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
However, as it is written:
“What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived” – the things God has prepared for those who love him
However, as it is written:
“What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived” – the things God has prepared for those who love him—these are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit.
1 Corinthians 2:16
“Who has known the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?”
1 Corinthians 2:16
“Who has known the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ.
If this prayer were answered …
… would someone hear the message of Jesus?
Luke 19:10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.
If this prayer were answered …
… would someone hear the message of Jesus?
… will someone’s faith grow?
Ephesians 1:17 I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better.

Grant is our resident farmboy. He grew up in the cornfields of northwest Nebraska. He spent his early days living far from God. As Grant says, "I gave God the middle finger and didn't really care about faith at all." As a young man, he became convinced that God was real. He gave his life to Jesus and experienced God's amazing grace that previously made no sense to him. After experiencing that grace, Grant felt God calling him to teach the message of the gospel. Over the past 20 years, he has been preaching and teaching. Grant, his wife, Bethany, and their four children moved to Michigan in 2011, and he joined the 2|42 team in 2019. Grant is always good for a laugh, but more importantly, he explains biblical concepts in ways anyone can understand.
