http://www.633main.com/dev250.htm Superman Holla's Back 1 John 5:14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: 15 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him. The very first podcast I did was on superman, and if you wanna listen to that show you should visit the archive section of our website. And me being the DC comic fan that I am, you just know I had to encompass the superman mythology into this week's devotion. But this week I want to high light the relationship of Superman and his father- Jor-El. Superman often spent alot time hollering back at his father when he was in his fortress of solitude. This is how Clark Kent found out that he was really Kal-El of Krypton. This communication with his father is synonymous to our communication with our heavenly father - Prayer. And because we don't pray nearly as much as we should, and because some of us dont know how to pray, here are 4 things to remember when praying: 1.Pray according to the will of God. 1 John 5:14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: 15 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him. 2. Pray In the name of Jesus. You know how you have a pin number for your atm card? And you know u can stick that thing in the machine all you want but until you put in the pin code u aint getting no money. Well thats just like prayer. Jesus is your access code, He validates who you are as He sits at the right hand of the Father interceding on our behalf. 3. Pray for forgiveness. Ps. 66:18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me: 4. Pray without ceasing. Be persistent. If you really want to draw closer to God and improve your qulity of life. Talk to God persistently. I mean ring his phone off the hook. I'll admit, I don't pray enough. And this is my prayer for this week. -Eric Lusain, Cincinnati, OH
