PRAYER- Tampa Underground 8-7-2011

John 15...Jesus said, "Apart from me you can do Nothing." (do we believe this is true?)... **LEARNING DEPENDENCY**

We think the answer to everything is more discipline...(Western Society)

"Religious obligation does not produce fruit of the kingdom anyway."

**Spiritual maturity is actually realizing how weak and inadequate you are. Not in how incredible you are. And if people start saying how incredible you they're probably missing it, and probably so are you.**

God is always offering himself to the people at the bottom..
When we realize we are poor in spirit, prayer life soars...

BRING YOUR HELPLESSNESS TO JESUS...this is prayer..
((Mary, wine, Jesus))

PRAY LIKE A CHILD...don't try to impress God with your prayers...
Nathaniel & Jesus...Jesus likes the Isrealites' honesty EVEN if he insults his people, his culture, his home... no Guile (sly/cunning filter)... Kids say what they feel what they think...

TALK TO GOD LIKE HE'S YOUR FATHER!

'What are you doing?'-- in Embarrassment, he takes his hands apart and says 'nothing!'))

The heart of an intercessor... always wanting to get back in the presence of God....

BEHOLD...I ...MAKE....ALL....THINGS......NEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
