Understanding Prayer (Part 5): Patterns & Types of Prayer
Understanding Prayer (Part 5): Target Prayer
Some prayers aren't meant for adoration. They're meant to get a specific result. In Part 5 of the Understanding Prayer series, we look at target prayer, also called theme or topical prayer, and its two types: supplication (asking God for something specific) and intercession (standing in the gap for someone else).
From Hannah and Jabez, we see that specific prayers get specific answers. From Philippians 4:6, we learn that God has a prescription for anxiety. And from Mark 11:24, we learn that faith receives before it sees. We also look at why target prayers take persistence, why the valley between asking and receiving is part of the process, and why prayer is labour.
Key Scriptures: Mark 11:24 • Philippians 4:6 • 1 Samuel 1:11 • 1 Chronicles 4:10
What you'll hear:
The difference between supplication and intercession
Why vague prayers struggle to get answers, and how to be specific
Why some answers take days, weeks, or months, and what God is doing in the background
How to know when a prayer has been answered spiritually before it shows up physically
If you've given up on a prayer too early, this message is for you. Part 5 of the series.

Understanding Prayer (Part 4): Patterns & Types of Prayer
Understanding Prayer (Part 4): Prayer of Praise, Thanksgiving and Worship
Some believers run out of things to say to God after a few minutes, while others pray for an hour. In Part 4 of the Understanding Prayer series, we begin looking at the patterns and types of prayer, starting with the prayer of praise, thanksgiving, and worship.
This is prayer with no request attached. From Jesus at the tomb of Lazarus and Daniel in the king's court, we see that thanking God is a prayer in itself. We also look at why quality thanks is specific, not general, how forgetfulness breeds ingratitude, and why a prayer with no thanksgiving is a selfish prayer.
Key Scriptures: John 11:41 • Daniel 2:23 • Psalm 100:4 • 1 Thessalonians 5:18
What you'll hear:
Why prayer isn't only about asking
How to give God quality thanks, and why a general "thank you" isn't enough
Why ingratitude often starts with forgetting
A simple exercise: write down what you're grateful for, and watch a five-minute prayer become an hour
Before you ask God for anything today, take time to thank Him. Part 4 of the series.

Understanding Prayer (Part 3)
Understanding Prayer (Part 3)
Prayer does more than get us answers. It changes us, and it changes what's happening around us. In Part 3 of the Understanding Prayer series, we look at five things prayer does in a believer's life.
Prayer is a prerequisite for revival, the kind of spiritual awakening that gives you zeal and boldness. It invokes the ministry of angels, who are real, mighty, and waiting on our prayers. It is how we seek God's direction at life's crossroads. It strengthens our spirit to overcome temptation. And it takes us into God's presence, where His glory rubs off on us.
Key Scriptures: Acts 4:31 • Jeremiah 33:3 • Matthew 26:41 • Ephesians 3:16 • Exodus 34:29
What you'll hear:
Why revival starts with a people who pray
How prayer invokes the ministry of angels
Why major decisions, including your career and marriage, must never be made without seeking God
How a strong spirit overcomes temptation, and when the answer is to run
Why people notice something different about you when you spend time with God
If you're facing a decision, battling temptation, or hungry for more of God, this one is for you. Part 3 of the series.
