00:24 I'in Moldova, a little country in Eastern Europe
00:27 sandwiched betweenRomania and Ukraine.
00:33 It's a quarter of t size has the population of of the state of Tennessee, the state of Connectcticut,
00:36 about ththree and a half million people.

00:44 FoFor 50 years, Moldova was a Soviet socialistepublic.
00:49 It was under communist r rule as part of the Soviet Union.
00:53 But a remarkable thing happened,
00:55 the most significantnt political change of the 20th century.
00:59 And it affected the life of every pern here.

01:21 ♪[Music]♪
01:25 As far as Euroropean communism went,
01:27 the winds of c change really began to blow in the 1980s.
01:31 In Poland, the lidarity movement,
01:33 led by Lech Walesa, called for a serieies of strikes
01:36 which crippled that countntry's economy.
01:39 In Hungagary, Czechoslovakia, East Germany and Roman,
01:43 governments me under pressure to roll back
01:45 the oppressive restrictions of f communism.
01:48 In previous times, the Soviet Union's reonse
01:50 would have been swift and sesevere.
01:53 But this time ings would be different.
01:56 On November ththe tenth, 1989, the Bein Wall came down.
02:01 It was a serpente, 12-feet-tall,
02:04 100-mile-long barrier that separated d West Germany
02:07 from communist EasGermany.
02:10 st Germans celebrated,
02:12 and that falling domino set ofa chain reaction
02:16 that led to the dissolution of communism in Eastetern Europe.
02:19 And by the te the dust had settled,
02:22 the Soviet Union was no more.
02:26 But thstory many people haven't heard
02:28 is how the fall of communism had lessss to do with
02:31 Lech Walesa and protest and more to doith prayer.
02:38 In 1982, in the city of ipzig,
02:41 a Protestant pastor named Christian Fuhrer
02:43 begaholding Monday evening prayer meetings in his chuhurch,
02:47 St. Nicholas Church.
02:49 Pastor Fuhrer conducted those prayereetings
02:51 in spitef the East German government's strong oppositition
02:55 to religious activities.s.
02:57 So the goverernment pushed back,
02:59 saying they'd do whatever they had to to stop what had
03:03 morphed from simple prayer meeting to peacefuful protests.
03:07 But on October the 9th, 89,
03:10 eit thousand people gathered in the church,
03:13 and another seventy ousand people
03:15 mamassed in the streets outside.
03:18 In the end, the government let them protest.
03:22 The BBC later reported thahat East German officials said that they
03:26 were ready for athing at all, except candles and prayer.

03:38 Exactly one month after that h historic night,
03:42 the wall came down.
03:44 And so too did a whole series of atheistic dictatorships.
03:48 ♪[Music]♪
04:00 So whilehere were certainly other factors involved,
04:02 it can't bebe denied that prayer
04:04 play an incredibly important role in bringing about
04:08 inast Germany and throughout Eastern Europe
04:11 an incredible change,
04:13 which not long before would haveve been completely unimaginable.
04:18 So wt's the secret to effective prayer?
04:21 Can anyone learn toto pray effectively?
04:24 Or do you have tobe specially qualified
04:27 to get yr prayers answered?
04:29 ♪[Music]♪
04:34 It seems to me a former Soviet s socialist republic
04:37 is a pretty good place to ask,
04:39 and then t to answer those questions.
04:43 So what is prayer?
04:45 A dictionary wilill tell you that prayer is a petition to,
04:48 or communion with, God or another object.
04:53 Now, for the purpose of this discussion,
04:55 we'll limit ourselves to the ideaea of praying to God.
04:58 Someone once saiaid that prayer is the opening up of the hea
05:02 to G God as to a friend.
05:05 Now, God has asked that we pray.
05:08 And He's promised that He'll answeour prayers.
05:12 Now, listen to this: i it's Second Chronicles 7, verse 14.
05:16 Solomon has just dedicated the temple to d.
05:19 It's in the tenth century B.C.
05:21 And God spoke to Solomon and saidhis:
05:25 “If My people, which are called by My name,e,
05:27 shall humble themselves, anand pray, and seek my face,
05:32 and turn from their wicked ways;
05:34 then will l I hear from heaven, and will forgive theirin,
05:38 and will heal their land.”
05:40 The Sovereign of the ununiverse says,
05:43 “I will answer your prayer”
05:46 And you noticece He makes it nice and simple.
05:49 There are very few conditions involved.
05:51 God simply says that if you come to m humbly,
05:54 and if y turn away from sin,
05:56 He will hear and answer yr prayers.
06:01 Now, o over in the New Testament,
06:02 we read this in First John,chapter 5, verses 14 and 15:
06:08 “Now this is e confidence that we have in Him,
06:11 that if we ask anything according to His will,
06:14 He hears us.
06:15 And d if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask,
06:18 we know that we have t the petitions
06:20 that we have asked of HiHim.”
06:22 JoJohn, the man who wrote the Gospel of John
06:24 and the book of Revelation,
06:26 man who spent three and a half years
06:28 as o of Jesus' closest friends, says that if you prayay,
06:32 you can know t that God hears you,
06:34 and in knowing that He hears you,
06:37 you can be confident that He will grant yourur petitions.
06:41 Now,w, that has to be one of the most remarkable ings
06:44 ev written.
06:46 So, how do you go about aying in a way
06:50 that you can be certain your prayers will be e answered?

08:09 The first prayer in the Bible
08:11 appears the third chapter of Genesis.
08:14 The last prayer in the Bible is in Revelation,
08:17 chapter 22, in the second last verse of theible,
08:20 where JoJohn rights, “Even so, come, Lord Jesus."
08:24 God wants us to pray.
08:26 He wants to communicatwith us.
08:29 So how do you pray effectively?
08:31 What's the secret?
08:33 've come to Orheiul Vechi,
08:35 fascinating place about an hour from Chisinau,
08:38 the capital of Moldova.
08:39 Until 19, Moldova was a communist land,
08:43 part of the viet Union.
08:45 Most people don't know how significant a part prarayer played
08:48 in bringing about the end d of communism.
08:52 And this histoc little place
08:55 gives us an opportunity to reflectn prayer.
08:59 They say the medieval town was built herere around 700 years ago.
09:03 Mongol invers came through a little after that.
09:06 And then there was a a time of peace under kings
09:09 ch as Alexander the Kind and Stephen the Great.
09:13 There was a palace here one time.
09:15 Governors lived here.
09:16 There was a mosque and d a minaret from which
09:19 the call to prayer was made.
09:21 Ruins of an old Christian church can be se.
09:24 And today, there's still a nastery here.
09:27 The cave monasastery goes back hundreds of years.
09:32 can't have been easy to build.
09:34 Monasteries are placaces of reflection.
09:37 Some have en built in the unlikeliest of settings.
09:41 In most every monastery,
09:43 prayer is highn the list of priorities.
09:47 Here at Orheiul Vechi,
09:49 the monastery is runun by the Eastern Orthodox Church.
09:53 Monks actutually used to stay in these little cells,
09:57 once upon a time.
09:58 Considering that the tempereratures here can be
10:00 absolutely frigid, that's really somethihing.
10:04 It's not unusual for monks, or othehers who live in a monastery,
10:07 to withdraw from the world and give themsels over to working,
10:12 to reading the Bible, and to prayer.r.
10:19 You don't see a monastic life
10:21 modeled or recommded in the Bible.
10:24 w, it's true there were times that people cameme aside
10:27 for periods of spiritual devotion
10:29 But they were connected toto active ministry for others.
10:33 The six weeks or so that Jesus ent in the wilderness
10:36 ter his baptism were immediately prior to
10:39 the beginning of h active earthly ministry.
10:42 In Mark 6 and verse 31, Jesus saido his disciples,
10:47 “Come apart by yourselves into a desererted place
10:51 and rest a while.”
10:52 Jesus could see th needed rest.
10:54 They needed time with him
10:57 to be rengthened for the ministry he called them to.
11:01 Does God hear prayers prayed in a monastery anany more clearly
11:08 than he hears prayers ayed in Does God hear the prayers of a the middle of a bustling city? monk or a prpriest or a minister
11:11 anmore clearly than he hears the prayers
11:13 of a construction worker or taxi driver?
11:17 Absolutely not.
11:20 The kekey to successful prayer is...to pray.
11:25 Whoever you e, wherever you are,
11:28 whatever you are:
11:30 if you'll pray, God will hear your prarayers.
11:35 Now, there's a common mistake at far too many people make
11:38 when it comes to prayer,
11:40 and that is thinking that prprayer is all about getting.
11:45 Now, it's true, when you me to God in prayer,
11:47 it's okay to do your fair share o of asking.
11:49 But prayer is so mucuch more
11:51 than coming tood with a shopping list.
11:55 Prayer is communion.
11:56 It's communication.
11:58 It's spending time in God's presence
12:00 so that you and God are on the same wawavelength,
12:03 so that God's s thoughts become your thoughts,
12:07 and so that you are strengthened to live a Christiaian life
12:10 in the very center of the will l of God.
12:13 I got an email a couple of da ago
12:15 from somebody asking about a difffficult temptation
12:19 he was facining.
12:20 As a matter of facact,
12:21 he said was beating him and he was feeling crushed,
12:24 and he couldn't get the victory ov a certain sin.
12:28 And in that email he said,
12:30 “But I don't read my Bible, and I don't pray.”
12:34 Wellll, ladies and gentlemen, there it is.
12:38 He wasn't pring.
12:39 So of course h was being defeated.
12:41 If he e had prayed,
12:43 well, might not have got that shiny red truck
12:45 that he was wantg, for example,
12:47 but he would have been strengthened t to meet the trials
12:51 that were cocoming into his life.
12:52 PrPrayer would have made the difference.
12:57 No while it's a good thing to pray in a peaceful l place,
13:00 itit's good to get away from it all,
13:02 it's good to be someplace that you'u're not going to be bothered,
13:04 what you need to know is how you cacan pray wherever you are
13:08 and still be heard bGod.
13:10 There'no special place that you must pray
13:12 in order to heard.
13:13 You can pray anywhere at all and anytime.
13:21 Prayer i is where your desires become molded
13:25 to the will of G.
13:26 In fact, prar is more about you trying to find out
13:29 what God's will is something,
13:31 rather than trying to bend God to suit yourill.
13:35 d prayer is not a get-out-of-jail-free card.
13:39 You can prayay all you want, but your dog might still die
13:42 anand you might still lose your job.
13:44 But if you pray,
13:45 you'll be strengthened to meet the trls life brings your way.
13:49 So how's your prayer life?
13:51 God is waiting to he and answer your prayers.

16:16 People come to monasteries l like this one in Moldova to pray.
16:21 Prayer is fundamentatal to the Christian experience.
16:24 In fact, you cannot rely call yourself a genuine believer
16:27 in God witithout habitual, personal prayer.
16:32 Prayayer is where your mind meets with the mind God.
16:36 Prayer i is like breathing the air God breathes.
16:39 It's likeownloading God's thoughts into your own.
16:43 Now, remember Psalm 66, verse 18, which ys,
16:47 "If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will notot hear.”
16:51 Now, that does not mean that God
16:52 doesn't t hear the prayers of sinners.
16:54 If that were true, none of us would be heard.
16:56 But what it does mean is that if we choose to cling to sin,
17:00 and refu to surrender it to God,
17:04 we're really telling God thatat we're just not serious about
17:07 his will being done in our life.e.
17:10 As John Bunyan, who wrote "“The Pilgrim's Progress,” said,
17:13 “In prayer heart without words is better
17:19 th words without a heart.”
17:22 Consider the Lord's Prayer w with me.
17:25 It's the model prayayer given in the Bible.
17:28 The disciples came to Jesus in Matthew, chapter 6,
17:30 and they said, “Lord, teach us to pra”
17:34 And what prompted them to make that request was s what Jesus
17:37 had been talking about t immediately prior to this.
17:41 Jesus warned them against prayaying like the hypocrites,
17:44 who prayayed so that other people
17:46 would see their religious devotion.
17:49 Now that word, hypocris, is translated from a word
17:52 that means a an actor.
17:55 Insincere prayers,s, just acting the part,
18:01 He went on to say in aren't geing anyone anywhere. Matthew 6, verse 6,
18:04 “BuBut you, when you pray, go into your room,
18:07 and when you have shut your door,
18:08 pray to yourather who is in the secret place;
18:11 and your Father who se in secret will reward you openly.”
18:15 Prive prayer should be private.
18:18 When you're pouring out t your heart to God
18:20 about what's neart to you,
18:21 you want to have a place to goto pray that's your own space.
18:25 That's importan
18:26 And noti that Jesus in that passage suggested
18:31 You find that thought expressed that God will all the way ththrough the Bible. answer your prayers.
18:35 In the next verse,
18:36 Jesus said there's no placen prayer
18:38 for what He referrrred to as vain repetition.
18:42 That's saying t same prayer over and over and over again.
18:46 You see, when it comes to prayer,
18:49 what God wants usto know is that prayer
18:51 is a meeting o of minds and hearts.
18:55 God wants to hear what's on yr heart.
18:58 He wants to ar from you in communication
19:01 about what's important to y.
19:03 Simply regurgitating a lelearned prayer
19:06 doesn't really constitute true pray.
19:09 I'll give you a case in point.
19:11 In my life I must have prayed ththe Lord's Prayer,
19:13 oh, thousands of times.
19:16 Becausas a child we were taught to pray that prayer
19:19 over and over and over, and again d again and again.
19:22 But think about it.
19:25 You'd be far betetter off praying that prayer once,
19:28 and thinking about it, and reflting on it,
19:32 really getting something out of the expience,
19:35 an you would saying that prayer a hundred times
19:38 without giving it any thought.
19:40 And then Jesus said in Matthew 6, verse
19:43 “In this manner, therefore, pray:
19:46 r Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name.”
19:50 Now, who are you praying to?
19:51 You're prayi to your Father.
19:55 And that ought to give y confidence and assurance.
19:58 And involved in that little phrase sus taught
20:01 was the idea of praise.
20:04 You're to praise God whwhen you pray.
20:10 PrPraise Him for who He is, for what He's done, for what He means toto you. for what He is,
20:15 Just that can keep you busy prayining for quite a while.
20:19 Verse 10:“Your kingdom come.
20:21 Your will be done on earth as it is i in heaven.”
20:25 We're to pray for the coming oGod's kingdom,
20:28 e setting up of His eternal kingdom when Jesus r returns.
20:32 You see, prayer focuses your mi on the important things
20:36 on the big picture.
20:38 And notice we're to prpray that God's will is done.
20:43 Now, you and I both know that we don''t always see our prayers
20:47 answered the way we wish th were.
20:49 Anmaybe that's because God knows
20:51 you don't reallyly need a raise right now.
20:54 Or you c can actually get by
20:55 without fine weatheher this weekend.
20:58 And that's fine.
20:59 But whwhat about when your child doesn't recover om cancer,
21:03 or Dad doesn't come back from the hospit?
21:05 What then?
21:07 Well, the fact is, that's life.
21:10 That's life in this sinful world.
21:13 w, it's not God's will that children should s suffer
21:15 or that parents should die.
21:17 That's not God's will at all.
21:19 t what is God's will is that you're saved
21:22 into Hisis eternal kingdom,
21:23 that you spend eternity with God.
21:26 And people who snd eternity with God are people
21:28 whwho've learned to say, like Job said,
21:31 “Though He sl me, yet will I trust in Him.”
21:35 Now, we don't always get what we want.
21:41 But we can trust God anyway, Our prayers are't always and say, “ThThy will be done.” answered the way we wish.
21:48 Mattw 6:11, “Give us this day our daily bread.”
21:52 God wants us to ask m for what we need and for what we want.
21:56 But we need to rememember, God's not Santa Claus.
22:00 He knows what's best for us in eversituation
22:03 as He considers the big piure.
22:05 But He does wantnt us to pray big prayers.
22:09 John Knox, the gat Scottish reformer,
22:10 didn'just pray for the salvation of a family member
22:13 or a neighbor.
22:15 He prayed to God and sai
22:16 “Give me Scotland or I die.”
22:18 He prayed for thee salvation of a country.
22:22 In Second Kings, chaer 13, a king came to the prophet Elisha.
22:26 Elisha said to him, “StStrike the ground,”
22:29 which the king d did, three times.
22:32 Elisha was upset.
22:33 He sd, “If you had pounded on the ground five or six x times,
22:37 God would have given youcomplete deliverance from Syria.
22:41 But you only pounded on the ground ththree times.”
22:43 You see, God understood the king's timidity
22:46 in striking the ground as an expression of lack of faith.
22:50 God wanteded to do more for the king.
22:52 And often God wants too more for you.
22:56 Pray big prayers.
22:57 Now, if you're praying for a bigger house and a nicer car,
23:02 well, you want to be careful abouthat.
23:04 Sotimes that might be appropriate,
23:05 bufar too often it's just greed or ego.
23:09 But do pray big prayers, really big prayeyers,
23:13 and d know that God is big enough to answer them.
23:17 In verse 1 the model prayer goes on:
23:20 “And forgive us our debts,, as we forgive our debtors.”
23:24 First, it's importan to pray for forgiveness.
23:28 If you've sinned against God
23:30 and you have, then confess that sin.
23:34 John wrote directly about this in First Jo 1, verse 9:
23:36 “ we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to f forgive us
23:41 our si and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
23:45 There's s your assurance right there that God
23:47 will forgive your sins.
23:49 That's settled.
23:50 Don't doubt thatat.
23:52 But notice that caveat “as we forgive our debtors.”
23:56 how's that working out for you?
23:58 If you harbor unfoforgiveness toward others,
24:00 you're essentially begging God not to fgive you.
24:04 Pretty simple.
24:05 Verse 13: “And lead us not into temptatation,
24:10 but deliver us from m evil.
24:12 FoFor thine is the kingdom, and the power,
24:14 and the glory, for er. Amen.”
24:18 Your battle with sin, yoyour temptations,
24:21 your struggles, that's all material for prayer.
24:25 Talk to God about itit.
24:26 Appealal to God. Wrestle with God.
24:30 Paul prayed about healing three times,
24:32 and d then God told him to pray about that no more.
24:35 But as the great man o faith George Muller said,
24:37 “The great point [of prayer] isever to give up
24:41 until the answer comes.” Amen.
24:44 So t today, little Moldova is a free country.
24:50 You could createte a politics for that.
24:53 Or you could recognize thatod on His throne
24:57 hearars the prayers of those who pray.
25:01 Pastor Christian Fuhrer said,
25:03 “Without the church,
25:05 it wouldld have been like all other revolutions befo:
25:09 bloody and unsuccessful.”
25:11 He could have said, without prprayer.
25:16 What would your lifebe like without prayer?
25:19 Or should I be asking,
25:20 what would your life be likike with prayer?
25:24 Take time pray.
25:25 God is waiti to hear from you.
