About this sermon

If God already knows what you need before you ask, why pray at all? It's one of the most honest questions in the Christian life — and in this full sermon from Matthew 7:7–11, Dr. Adrian Rogers answers it directly. Rogers teaches that the greatest unused resource in the world isn't nuclear energy or tidal power. It's prayer. And yet most Christians live far below what God has made available to them because they don't pray — or they give up too soon. In this message you'll discover: — Why God commands us to pray even though He already knows our needs — What "Ask, Seek, Knock" actually means — and why all three steps are required — The difference between asking (voicing desire), seeking (aligning with God's will), and knocking (persistent faith) — Why God's answer is sometimes direct, sometimes different, sometimes delayed, and sometimes denied — and what to do in each case — How prevailing prayer changes you even before it changes your circumstances Key teaching: "There is no substitute for prayer." — Adrian Rogers This is Sermon #1706 and the closing message of the Building on the Rock series (Volume 2) by Dr. Adrian Rogers through Love Worth Finding Ministries. 🔗 Full sermon audio + outline: https://www.lwf.org/sermons/audio/the-power-of-prevailing-prayer-1706 📖 More from LWF: https://www.lwf.org We are viewer supported.
