I'm not great at blogging nor do I do it often! So bare with my randomness, run on sentences, fragments, and may not make sense!
A pastor and mentor spoke a little on the topic I'm going to hit on today. Are we having a mentality of a Slave prayer life or a Sonship prayer life? So me being curious, I went and did research for myself. This is one thing I'm huge on. You definitely can receive a word from another person (its what fellowship/mentorship is for) but for it to become truth in your life you need to search it out for yourself. So this is exactly what I did.
At one point under Pharaoh's rule there was 400 long years of Slavery in Egypt. This was a horrible time, we can only imagine. The prayer of these people were wanting OUT. If only God you would give us enough food to survive on and not see my children starving. Or if you wouldn't beat my wife when you have a party. The hearts of hurting people. These people had NO choice but to be in slavery. They would cry out to God to break them free. And this was a continuous cry out to God. The cool thing about this story was Joseph was able to Interpret Pharaohs dream. He ultimately was able to help bring them out of Famine/slavery.
We all have seasons in life where we pray the same prayer over and over. Begging God to help us and take away whatever it is. But praying over and over the same thing is not receiving the Grace given by ONLY God. He has done it already on the Cross. You are forgiven, you have already been brought out of Egypt. Receive the freedom in your circumstances that God has given you. Just sit back and let God do the healing now.
The Sonship prayer is turning the prayer of God help me be set free from (______) to God I am free from (______), I receive this forgiveness.
Adam uses this example of the Sonship prayer: God given me more discipline in my life in this area (_____) to God give the desire to do (_____) whatever it is.
As we challenge ourselves in our prayer life we will begin to see the shift in our relationship with God.
