INTRODUCTION:<\/p>\n
1. What can be more precious in the eyes of a father than his daughter?<\/p>\n
1) Daughters are indeed a blessing from the Father.<\/p>\n
2) They are a mirror of the beauty of the mother.<\/p>\n
2. To watch a daughter grow is a rare privilege.<\/p>\n
1) A father can have an effect on many generations through that daughter. “The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.”<\/p>\n
2) She can bring you a lifetime of joy.<\/p>\n
3. On the other hand…<\/p>\n
1) She can make choices that may bring you and your house to utter ruin.<\/p>\n
2) Many runaways run from good families.<\/p>\n
3) If she makes the wrong choices she may ruin generation in the future. “The hand…”<\/p>\n
4) Alcohol and drug abuse.<\/p>\n
5) Fornication.<\/p>\n
6) Neglect of children.<\/p>\n
7) Living w\/o benefit of marriage.<\/p>\n
8) Lying and stealing.<\/p>\n
4. Many fathers try mightily to rear their daughters to be good women.<\/p>\n
1) Many fail to use all the tools at their disposal.<\/p>\n
2) Example: Farmer with 1000 acres using a 2-row rig when there is an eight wheel drive John Deere tractor available.<\/p>\n
3) that difference making tool that I am speaking of is effectual prayer.<\/p>\n
5. To believe the Bible is to believe that prayer makes a difference. James 5:16; 1 John 3:22<\/p>\n
6. There are some, however, whose prayers will not be heard. 1 John 3:22<\/p>\n
[We as fathers want to do everything in our power to rear our girls to be good women. To do this is to be a blessing to society. To do this is to help populate heaven with our grandchildren and beyond.]<\/p>\n
DISCUSSION: Where do fathers go wrong that their prayers are not heard?<\/p>\n
Father’s prayers are not heard when they…<\/p>\n
I. FAIL TO LIVE RIGHTEOUSLY. Micah 3:4; James 4:3; Isaiah 59.2; Jdg. 10:10-14<\/p>\n
1. A great privilege is lost because of selfish desires.<\/p>\n
1) Forsake assembling.<\/p>\n
2) Pornography.<\/p>\n
3) Alcohol.<\/p>\n
4) Failure to study Scripture.<\/p>\n
5) Covet what others own.<\/p>\n
6) Live as if we can do without God.<\/p>\n
2. Here’s what our repentance will accomplish.<\/p>\n
1) Our own forgiveness and salvation. Acts 8:22; 1 John 1:7-9.<\/p>\n
2) Our prayers can then be heard and we can pray for our daughters.<\/p>\n
[Another area in which Fathers have their prayers hindered is when they…]<\/p>\n
II. FAIL TO HONOR THEIR WIVES. 1 Peter 3:7<\/p>\n
1. Neglected, belittled wives are not honored.<\/p>\n
2. Wives of unfaithful husbands are not honored.<\/p>\n
3. Abused, disrespected wives are not honored.<\/p>\n
4. Honored wives enjoy the protection of their husbands.<\/p>\n
5. Honored wives partake in the prosperity of their husbands.<\/p>\n
6. Honored wives are spoken to with respect.<\/p>\n
7. Your daughter is watching. She may decide she doesn’t want the job of “wife” based on how you treat your wife.<\/p>\n
8. Honor your wives men. Your prayers will not be heard unless you do.<\/p>\n
[Still further, prayers of fathers are not heard when they…]<\/p>\n
III. FAIL TO PRAY. James 4:2<\/p>\n
1. The God who called us has resources untold. He is UNLIMITED.<\/p>\n
2. Matthew 7:7-11; 1 John 5:14-15.<\/p>\n
3. We are commanded to pray. 1 Thessalonians 5:17; Luke 18:1; 21:36; Ephesians 6:18.<\/p>\n
4. In failing to pray for our daughters we fail to draw on the most powerful and reliable help at our disposal.<\/p>\n
5. If our daughters turn to evil and we have failed to pray do we not share in the blame?<\/p>\n
[Finally, Father’s prayers are not heard when they…]<\/p>\n
IV. DON’T HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF PRAYER.<\/p>\n
1. Daughter may die lost because you are lost. 2 Corinthians 5:11<\/p>\n
2. I want you to obey Christ because, if you do, you will avoid the terror of the Lord.<\/p>\n
3. I want you to obey Christ because, if you do, your daughter may follow you and avoid the terror of the Lord.<\/p>\n
4. If she’s not a Christian she will not enjoy the promise of 1 Corinthians 10:13.<\/p>\n
5. If you’re not a Christian she will not enjoy the benefit of your prayers for her. (protection, health, good partner, truthfulness, self-control, drugs, alcohol, fornication)<\/p>\n
6. It is your sin that separates you from God. Romans 3:23; Isaiah 59:2<\/p>\n
7. Only the blood of Christ can remove it. Matthew 26:28<\/p>\n
8. Only by obedience can you contact that blood. Acts 2:38<\/p>\n
9. You must believe (John 8:24), repent (Luke 13:3), confess (Romans 10:9-10), and be baptized (Mark 16:16).<\/p>\n
CONCLUSION: Do you want your prayers heard?<\/p>\n
1. Live righteously.<\/p>\n
2. Honor your wives.<\/p>\n
3. Remember the command to pray.<\/p>\n
4. Gain the privilege of prayer by obedience to the Gospel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
