Recap of 10/16/05:
1. We do not seek to “bind” Satan in prayer:
-our concern is not the power of Satan but the “schemes” of Satan (Ephesians 6:10-18)
-our concern should not be the strongholds of Satan but the “footholds” of Satan (Ephesians 4:26,27; 1 Corinthians 7:3,5)
2. A pattern for prayer: the acrostic A-C-T-S (or if you prefer C-A-T-S)
-Adoration, appreciating God for His character, attributes and actions
-Confession, naming specific sins, agreeing with God about them and acknowledging to God our true nature
-Thanksgiving, our response to God’s blessings (family, spouse, job, etc.) and His care over us (including hardships) – 1Thessalonians 5:16-18
-Supplication, prayer for our needs and the needs of others (including all authorities) – 1 Timothy 2:1,2; Ephesians 6:18,19
3. Fear and anxiety are reminders to pray. Philippians 4:6
