MESSAGE NOTES: “An Everyday Prayer for an Everyday Person”

Series, “Psalms in the Summer,” Message 7
Mike McDaniel, Lead Pastor

Scripture: Psalm 139:1-2, 23-24 (English Standard Version)

1
O Lord, you have searched me and known me!
2
You know when I sit down and when I rise up;
you discern my thoughts from afar.
23
Search me, O God, and know my heart!
Try me and know my thoughts!
24
And see if there be any grievous way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting!

God answers EVERY prayer:
If my request is wrong - God says No
If my timing is wrong - God says Slow
If my character is wrong - God says Grow
When my request, timing, and character are all right - God says Go!

Prayer is less a means of getting our will into heaven.
Prayer is utilized best by getting God's Will in us.

Two prayers every person should pray:

1) Search me.

Open self-Info about you and other know about you

Hidden self-Info that you know about yourself and others don't.

Blind self-info that you don't know but other people know.

Unknown self-info that you or nobody else knows about yourself

Take an inventory of heart, Mind, and hands.

HEART:
Psalm 139:23
Proverbs 20:5
Jer. 17:9
Jer. 17:10

MIND:
Psalm 139:23
PSALM 26:2
1 Cor. 2:16
Rom. 12:2
PHIL.-THINK ON SUCH THINGS

Into the Slient Mind-a book to read

HANDS:
Psalm 129:20

2) Lead me.

Lam. 3:40
PSALM 143:10
Psalm 124:7

Three imperative commands in 1 Corinthians 11:28:

EAT
DRINK
EXAMINE

Summary of Psalms 23

With the Lord, I lack nothing.

He makes me rest in the quiet to renew my soul.

He shows me which way to go for Him.

Even though I go through the hard times,

I am not scared for you are with me.

You comfort me during those times.

You prepare me before I meet my enemies.

Your Love will be with me forever along

With your beauty.

Coming Clean”
Series, “Psalms in the Summer,” Message 4
Mike McDaniel, Lead Pastor

Scripture: Psalm 32 (English Standard Version)

Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven,
whose sin is covered.
2
Blessed is the man against whom the Lord counts no iniquity,
and in whose spirit there is no deceit.

3
For when I kept silent, my bones wasted away
through my groaning all day long.
4
For day and night your hand was heavy upon me;
my strength was dried up as by the heat of summer. Selah

5
I acknowledged my sin to you,
and I did not cover my iniquity;
I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,”
and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah

6
Therefore let everyone who is godly
offer prayer to you at a time when you may be found;
surely in the rush of great waters,
they shall not reach him.
7
You are a hiding place for me;
you preserve me from trouble;
you surround me with shouts of deliverance. Selah

8
I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
I will counsel you with my eye upon you.
9
Be not like a horse or a mule, without understanding,
which must be curbed with bit and bridle,
or it will not stay near you.

10
Many are the sorrows of the wicked,
but steadfast love surrounds the one who trusts in the Lord.
11
Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, O righteous,
and shout for joy, all you upright in heart!

Blessed life=clean

Psalm 42

Three Hebrew words for sin:

1) Trangression - Lead a revolt or rebellion against authority; a severing of relationship

2) Sin - “coming short” or “falling short” (similar to Greek hamartia).

3) Iniquity - Arabic origin: to bend, twist, or make crooked

Confessions: chapters 6, 32, 38, 102, 130, 143

Own your junk or your junk will own you.

Two options when dealing with sin

1) Concealing – sickens you

2) Confession - frees you

Confess:
Worries
Doubts
Fears
Lying

Physical toll:
Psalm 51:3-Eyes
Psalm 51:6-Mind
Psalm 51:8-Bones

Spiritual toll:
Heart-Psalm 51:10
Joy-Psalm 51:8
Spirit

Proverbs 28:13
Romans 4:7
Psalm 32:5
Psalm 103:12
1 John 1:9

How to live a confessional life:

• Agree with God about the course of your life
• Come broken to this reality
• include yourself in a godly accountability relationship
• Leave resolved not to return

Psalm 51:17
James 5:16

There's nothing that God won't forgive.

Transgression-forgive
Sin-covers

Psalm 32:7

God, Touch Her Heart!- A Poem

God, hear my prayer.

Please reach down and touch her heart.

Let her feel your presence with her.

God, hear my prayer.

Please reach down and touch her heart.

Make it go back to its regular beats and 

stay there.She wants tp be home with her

pets and plants.

God, hear my prayer.

Please give her hope by touching her heat.

Hope that it will last a long time. Healing 

where she doesn't get short winded taking

just 10 steps to the kitchen. 

God, hear my Prayer.

Please give her her strength back when 

you touch her heart so she can do things.

Things like gardening, scrapbooking, and 

all of her other hobbies. 

God, hear my prayer.

Please reach down and touch her heart.

Apparently, this is something only you know 

how to do. If it is not, then give the doctors 

 wisdom so they know what they are doing.

However, you want to Heal her just please 

do it for the doggies' sake.

7 lesson of God's salvation 

1. God saves imperfect people for his prefect plan.

2. God judges and punishes sin.

            -justice=judgment

      -God was not and is not genaotial.

      -God is a God of Mercy. Gave them time and let them hear other events but they didn't come to repentance. Cannites.

        -God's story of redemption is unfolding.

        -We are still people at war. Spiritual warfare.

        -God chose to punish one person for all nations. Not punish all the nation like in Old Testament.

3. God punishes sin but He saves sinners.

              -saved by faith and grace
