Pastor Rick Jackson

I. THE PLACE OF THE WORD OF GOD [v. 1-3]

1. It is Important for Christians of Any Age [v. 1-2, 1:8]

2. It is Important for Understanding the Times [v. 2, 1:20, 2:21, 9:25; Jer. 25:11-12, 29:10]

II. THE PLACES OF NEGATIVES IN PRAYER [v. 4-14]

1. Confession [v. 4-6]

2. Ownership [v. 7-10]

Who owns the problem? If you do- deal with it... if you don't- let it go!

Romans 2:1 Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.
Romans 14:4 Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.
Romans 14:13 Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.

(1) God Owns Righteousness [v. 7]

(2) Man Owns Confusion of Face [v. 8]

Psalm 69:19 Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries are all before thee.

(3) God owns Mercy & Forgiveness [v. 9-10]

3. Deservedness [v. 11-14]

III. THE PLACE OF POSITIVES IN PRAYER [v. 15-19]

1. The Righteousness of God [v. 15-16; Rm. 3:19-31]

2. The Mercies of God [v. 17-18]

Lamentations 3:22-23 It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
