Be specific in your prayers

“Time can talk you out of your dreams. Routine can weaken your propensity towards audacity” Steven Furtick

Without faith it is impossible to please God.
Listen to my preach at south city church, dublin 8/1/12 'Audacious Faith-filled living', may it bless you.

“The bottom line is this: If you’re going to ask God to do something impossible in your life, you’ve got to have some clarity about what you’re asking for”
Steven Furtick

Broad praying and, for leaders, only 'general' vision casting is a very safe but often back-footed and weak way to lead - At least this way we won’t ‘appear as failures’ if nothing happens, we muse. This is not audacious leading or living. I have been guilty of playing it safe like this sometimes when limited expectations of God answering prayer is at work in my life.

It’s time to hear God for specifics. To pray specific prayers. To have clarity for specific things.

May 2012 be a year where we become more like children as far as our believing God is concerned. To have a 'sanctified naivety', will deliver us from tired and faithless living and cause us to trust God for amazing things

Just one final thing. This can only happen as you look to Christ. It is only as we see and behold Him and hear His Word that we will grow in faith. Look to Christ and the message of Good News otherwise who can believe God for such great, even impossible things? No one.
