Doa Tuhan Excerpt An excerpt from Doa Tuhan as noted in Mataio 06:09-13: "Our Abafu who art in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy Nimi! Thy Kingdom come and Thy Wille be done in Earth, as it is in Heaven! Give our daily bread to us! And forgive us of our debts as we forgive our debtors! And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For Thine is the Kingdom, and The Power, and The Gloria, for ever! Amen!"

Excellent! Get apart from the daily grind and get with God. This is where our power comes. Keep Bible reading and prayer together because Bible reading fuels our prayer life. Let us all have a closet life!

Great Sermon! Christians today have not prepared their hearts to seek the Lord and it is a sin, says Pastor Cairns. When Jesus says to enter your closet he is saying you must separate yourself from every distraction; that if you would have communion with God you must get away from everything that would hinder it. Remember Ezra, says Cairns. He PREPARED his heart to seek God. Do not rush into the presence of God. Attend first to God's Word; the Word and prayer must always go together. There must be a preparation and that preparation must be attending to God's Word. C.H. Waller once said out it this way: "Speak Lord, for thy servant heareth" is no bad preparation for "Hear Lord, for thy servant speaketh." If we would want to be able to speak, first of all listen. We have lost the secret of listening to our God.
"There is a place for continuing all night in prayer but prayer is not great because of it's length!", says Cairns. "it's great because of it's depth."
We will find that the Word will give us great thoughts of God, in preparation for prayer. You can actually pray your way thru the chapters of the Bible. When you come to any chapter, what does it teach you about Christ? The Word will convict you of your sin, enable you to pray, motivate you to.
