Exodus 10 Notes
Exodus 32:7-14
Dallas Willard says:
God's "response" to our prayers is not a charade. He does not pretend that he is answering our prayer when he is only doing what he was going to do anyway. Our requests really do make a difference in what God does or does not do. The idea that everything would happen exactly as it does regardless of whether we pray or not is a specter that haunts the minds of many who sincerely profess belief in God. It makes prayer psychologically impossible, replacing it with dead ritual at best. And of course God does not respond to this. You wouldn't either.
Prayer changes everything.
Prayer must be:
1: On Purpose
Mark 1:35
Matthew 14:23
Luke 6:12
2: Out Loud
James 4:2-3
2 You desire and do not have, so you murder. You covet and cannot obtain, so you fight and quarrel. You do not have, because you do not ask. 3 You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions.
3: With Passion
Passion is made of two things:
1: Energy
2: Consistency
Luke 1:18
