In this lecture, Chad Mullinix explores the relationship of evangelism and prayer. We read in Matthew 6:10 , “Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” We also read in Matthew 4:17 , “From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." Explore the Westminster Shorter Catechism Question 102. J. C. Ryle states, "The wheels of all machinery for extending the gospel are moved by prayer." Consider the example of Jesus in Matthew 9:37-38. “Then he said to his disciples, ‘The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.’” Consider Matthew 9:35-36. Who should pray? How should we pray? In Luke 8:38 we read, “The man from whom the demons had gone begged that he might be with him…” In 2 Corinthians 8:4 we also read, “…begging us earnestly for the favor of taking part in the relief of the saints…” Augustine stated, "Pray as though everything depended on God, work as though everything depended on you." To whom should we pray? Consider 1 Corinthians 3:5-6, “What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, as the Lord assigned to each. I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth.” What is it that we pray? In 2 Thessalonians 3:1-3 we read, “Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may speed ahead and be honored, as happened among you, and that we may be delivered from wicked and evil men. For not all have faith. But the Lord is faithful. He will establish you and guard you against the evil one.” Prayer is part of the heartbeat of the Apostle Paul's ministry. All in the church are to pray. William Still states, "Happy the people however tiny the nucleus who begin to see or be made to see that they have the makings of the ministry if not the minister in their own hands by prayer."
