Our method in this Bible study is to place ourselves at the feet of Jesus to learn from Him. We seek to imitate the prayer life of Jesus, and so to share in His effectiveness. There is no greater teacher and example. Indeed, the way into God’s presence is paved by Jesus Himself. The privilege of prayer was bought at the highest cost to God and His Son (Hebrews 10:19-22). That being so, this course aligns with God’s will, that we should fulfill His purpose for prayer.
The beauty of this course is that it carries, in the Scriptures, the seeds of your success. As you apply biblical prayer, its divine power will take you from strength to strength. You will experience what it means to be a new creature. While bad habits fade away, the new you—created in the image of Jesus Himself—will emerge more clearly. You will grow in spiritual discernment and maturity. You will pray with confidence and take on life’s challenges with courage. Through you, God will accomplish what once seemed impossible. Jesus said it this way:
If you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, “Move from here to there,” and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you (Matthew 17:20).
In this course, we will explore this amazing promise, and many more! Above all, we will come to know better the One who gives these promises, Jesus Christ. He is the secret of successful prayer—as a disciple recognized in Luke 11.
