School of Prayer 3: Why Pray - Dick Eastman

The sermon emphasizes that prayer is a vital, ongoing lifestyle rather than merely a training exercise or a means to secure specific answers. It outlines the foundational purposes of prayer as bringing glory to God, fostering personal fellowship, and advancing evangelism through intercession. The speaker highlights Jesus Christ as the ultimate example of a prayer life and stresses the importance of praying in His name with full authority. A significant portion is dedicated to practical strategies for praying for spiritual awakening, including focusing on workers, open doors, spiritual fruit, and financial support for global missions. Ultimately, the message calls believers to humble repentance and holy unity to effect profound change in their lives and nations.
