The Power of Prayer - A Sermon on Hebrews

Prayer is vital to the Christian. So when this fails, everything else seems to go. In this sermon on Hebrews 10:19-22 titled “The Power of Prayer,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones preaches on the great fight facing the Christian. Look at the instruction Christ provided on the difficult task of prayer. Why is prayer difficult? Learn about the grandeur of entering into the presence of God. There can be no confidence in prayer until one deals with the accusing conscience. The human heart is polluted by sin, and in desperate need of a sincere heart. Look at the hope of Psalm 51 and passages in the New Testament that show the possibility of going before God in boldness. There is a new and living way-Christians are no longer bound to the temporality of priests who die. Find a firm foundation in the shed blood of the Son of God. Prayer is not merely psychology; it is God’s way to walk in confidence before Him. There is a needed sincerity and purity of heart that is required. All must deal with their conscience. Christ was punished and He literally rose again. No one resist the devil without this doctrine but they must deal with this remaining problem and rejoice in the hope God has given.
