An Uphill Faith

What is Faith?
Faith is the courage and the confidence to ACT
when you don’t UNDERSTAND, because you
trust the ONE WHO DOES
Trust– based on experience, knowledge and relationship
Action– a response, a sacrifice, a risk
Then Jesus went with his disciples to
a place called Gethsemane, and he
said to them, “Sit here while I go
over there and pray.” He took Peter
and the two sons of Zebedee along
with him, and he began to be
sorrowful and troubled. Then he said
to them, “My soul is overwhelmed
with sorrow to the point of death.
Stay here and keep watch with me.”
Going a little farther, he fell with his
face to the ground and prayed, “My
Father, if it is possible, may this
cup be taken from me. Yet not as I
will, but as you will.”
Then he returned to his disciples
and found them sleeping.
“Couldn’t you men keep watch
with me for one hour?” he asked
Peter. “Watch and pray so that
you will not fall into temptation.
The spirit is willing, but the flesh
is weak.”
He went away a second time and
prayed, “My Father, if it is not
possible for this cup to be taken
away unless I drink it, may your
will be done.”
When he came back, he again
found them sleeping, because
their eyes were heavy. So he left
them and went away once more
and prayed the third time, saying
the same thing.
Then he returned to the disciples
and said to them, “Are you still
sleeping and resting? Look, the
hour has come, and the Son of
Man is delivered into the hands
of sinners. Rise! Let us go! Here
comes my betrayer!”
Matthew 26:36-46 (NIV)
An Uphill Faith
requires Horizontal Support
An Uphill Faith
needs the confidence of PRAYER
Gethsemane:
THE PLACE OF CRUSHING
He prayer SPECIFICALLY
“may this cup be taken from me.”
He prayer SELFLESSLY
Yet not as I will, but as you will.”
He prayer INTIMATELY
“Abba, Father, everything is possible
for you.”
He prayer PASSIONATELY
“Being in anguish, he prayed more
earnestly…” Lk 22:44
CRISIS prayers are most
effective when they are
preceded by DAILY prayers.
Even when prayer doesn’t
change CIRCUMSTANCES
it changes US!
“My prayer is not for them alone. I
pray also for those who will believe
in me through their message, that all
of them may be one, Father, just as
you are in me and I am in you. May
they also be in us so that the world
may believe that you have sent me. I
have given them the glory that you
gave me, that they may be one as we
are one— I in them and you in me—
so that they may be brought to
complete unity. Then the world will
know that you sent me and have
loved them even as you have loved
me. John 17:20-24
I’m praying specifically for:

  • 6. Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.” He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him, and he began to be sorrowful and troubled. Then he said to them, “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.” Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.”
  • 7. Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. “Couldn’t you men keep watch with me for one hour?” he asked Peter. “Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” He went away a second time and prayed, “My Father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be done.”
  • 8. When he came back, he again found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy. So he left them and went away once more and prayed the third time, saying the same thing. Then he returned to the disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Look, the hour has come, and the Son of Man is delivered into the hands of sinners. Rise! Let us go! Here comes my betrayer!” Matthew 26:36-46 (NIV)

  • 16. CRISIS prayers are most effective when they are preceded by DAILY prayers.
  • 17. Even when prayer doesn’t change CIRCUMSTANCES it changes US!
  • 18. “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one— I in them and you in me— so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. John 17:20-24
