PROPHETIC PRAYER THE POWER OF PRAYER May 3, 2015 Dr. Ché Ahn TEXT: John 15:7 If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. 8 By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples. INTRO: • Last week, I made the comment that there are different types of prayers. One of the prayers I mentioned was making decrees. Most of Jesus’ prayers were decrees. Then we see Elijah praying seven times in persistent prayer, even though God had told him that rain was coming. • What God is after is intimacy with us. He wants us to be so close that not only will He tell us what to pray but how we are to pray the prayer. This is what I mean by prophetic prayer. I.

JOHN 15:7-­‐8 A. John 15:7 If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. 8 By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples. 1. In John 15, it seems that as we are intimate with Him, we can ask whatever we desire. 2. The key word is “my words.” That word in the Greek is rhema: the living, active word that the writer of Hebrews talks about. 3. The revelatory word. His spoken word. 4. The word “desire” confirms this. In the Latin, it means “of the father” (de – “of,” sire – “father”). 5. So, it is not just any prayer but the prayers that God wants you to pray. B. ILLUSTRATIONS 1.
