Sermon INTRODUCTION

[17] and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, [18] praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints… (Ephesians 6:17-18 ESV)

The path of spiritual growth in the riches of Christ is not a passive one. Grace is not opposed to effort. It is opposed to earning. Effort is action. Earning is attitude.

Biblical prayer is humbly acknowledging our need for God and His work and it is humbly resting in His Fatherly providence in our lives. “Whatever it takes Lord”.

Whatever it takes, Lord, the first thing my soul needs is an inclination to God and his Word. Psalm 119:36 "Incline my heart to Your testimonies and not to gain." Our hearts LEAN TOWARD SOMETHING

Whatever it takes, Lord, next I need to have the eyes of my heart opened. Psalm 119:18 "Open my eyes, that I may behold wonderful things from Your law."

Whatever it takes, Lord I long for my heart to be united for You. Psalm 86:11 "O Lord, I will walk in Your truth; unite my heart to fear Your name."

Whatever it takes, what I really want from all this engagement with the Word of God and the work of His Spirit in answer to my prayers is that my heart will be satisfied with God and not with the world.

Psalm 90:14 "O satisfy us in the morning with Your lovingkindness that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days." Ps 94:19 “When my anxious thoughts multiply within me, Thy consolations delight my soul.”

Whatever it takes, Lord, I want my satisfaction in Christ to bear good fruit in every good work. Colossians 1:10 "That [we] will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord... bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God."

Whatever it takes, Lord I want my happiness to be as full as possible for spreading and expanding for others. I want to be strong in joy. Colossians 1:11-12 "..that we be strengthened with power according to His glorious might, for the attaining of all

steadfastness and patience; joyously giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in light.” The Good news of the gospel isn’t that we get a care free life; the good news is that WE GET GOD.

Let his heart be inclined to God and His Word Let the eyes of her heart be opened to see glorious things in your word and have a sense of your glory on her soul. Let his heart be united to fear Your name, o Lord

Let their hearts be satisfied with all that God is for them in Jesus Let her satisfaction in Christ lead to fruit bearing good deed and Let him be strong in supernatural joy in the face of temptations and trials of life
