It's Friday afternoon and here's what I want you to do. I want you to think about the prayers that you've prayed this week.  What were the prayers you prayed this morning?  Were they big and bold prayers, were they audacious prayers?  Were they prayers that if they were answered would radically change the lives of the people you come in contact with on a day by day basis?  Were they audacious prayers that if they were answered hundreds would come to know Jesus as their Savior? Were they prayers that if they were answered all these new converts would connect with a growing community of believers who would come around them and would equip them to grow into dedicated Christ followers?

As I think about my own prayers and then I think about how big our God is, I have to wonder sometimes, why am I not making bigger asks? Why are my prayers centered mostly on my family and on me, instead of on “Thy kingdom come”? Now don't get me wrong, every prayer is a good prayer, and God listens to every prayer. He’s concerned about every ask we make. But what would it look like if you and I would pray big prayers and make audacious asks? What if we prayed daily that God's kingdom would grow through touching thousands of hearts and transforming hundreds of lives?

Come on out this Sunday to Heartland and we’ll learn how the early Church prayed audacious prayers and because of their audacious prayers they were filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly.
