Prayer of Jabez 2 - Bruce Wilkinson

This sermon explores the four-part prayer of Jabez as a model for accessing God's supernatural power and protection in daily life. It emphasizes that God is proactive in seeking out those with loyal hearts to release His hand of blessing and anointing, rather than requiring believers to convince Him of their worth. The message instructs listeners to actively request increased ministry and spiritual empowerment while simultaneously praying for divine protection against temptation, opposition, and oppression. By adopting this prayer as a daily discipline, believers are encouraged to step out of passive faith into a life of dependence on the Spirit, where God moves boundaries and enables them to do what they cannot do alone. The sermon concludes with a practical challenge to memorize and consistently pray this request, fostering a habit of seeking God's favor and guidance throughout the year.
