Hebrews 10:19-22 (CSB)
UNDERSTANDING and APPLYING what Jesus has accomplished for you paves the way for transformational prayer life
The security of BEING NEAR begins with DRAWING NEAR
“You cannot banish me for this world is my father’s house.” “But I will slay you,” said the Emperor. “No, you can not,” said the noble champion of the faith, “for my life is hid with Christ in God.” “I will take away your treasures.” “No, but you can not for my treasure is in heaven and my heart is there.” “But I will drive you away from man and you shall have no friend left.” “No, you can not, for I have a friend in heaven from whom you can not separate me. I defy you, for there is nothing you can do to hurt me.” -John Chrysostom
When you SHIFT what you THINK about prayer it will SHAPE what you DO with prayer
5 Shifts In How You Think About Prayer:
