In this teaching on Luke 11, Chad Everett dives deep into Jesus’ lesson on prayer—how it can be taught, learned, and applied with persistence. When the disciples asked, “Lord, teach us to pray,” Jesus not only gave them the model prayer (The Lord’s Prayer) but also shared a powerful parable about a friend knocking at midnight.
Luke 18 continues the conversation, focusing on the character and nature of God. If we’re going to pray correctly, we must understand that God is not like the reluctant friend in bed or the unjust judge. Too many people see God as distant or unwilling, like someone who has bigger things to worry about than our everyday problems. That is not God! Jesus emphasizes that God is a good Father who wants us to come boldly and persistently to Him, trusting that He will answer our prayers.
🔥 Expect revelation on:
✅ Why persistence in prayer matters
✅ How to pray with boldness and faith
✅ Understanding God’s willingness to respond
Jesus tells us that we should always pray and never lose heart. Even when our prayers seem unanswered, when things get worse, or when we face opposition, keep praying! Don’t be discouraged, and don’t give up. God will avenge His own elect, and He will do it speedily. Keep pressing through, and trust that God is faithful!
Don’t give up—keep pressing through! 🙌

Jeremiah Johnson from The Altar Global shares what heaven is saying for The Roads Church.
God wants to raise up Gideon’s army in Norris City, and over the cities connected to the ministry of The Roads Church. There are men and women who have counted themselves out do to their past, and God is saying to you today – ‘Yes You, I choose You. You are mine. You are my beloved. I’ve not only forgiven your sins – I’ve forgot them.’
God does not call the equipped. He equips those that He calls.
God took Moses from “Who Am I” to “I AM” sent me.
God is taking many from “Who Am I” to the “I AM” has sent me.
Many are questioning who we are, familiar with the voices of accusation from the devil, instead of knowing who we are by the voice of affirmation from the voice of Father God.
Father God loves You, and He has a plan for you.
You’re being called back to your heavenly identity that is connected to the Father.

The good news today is that Peter and John are coming to church! Peter represents faith and power; John represents love and intimacy. I want to prophesy to you—when I say Peter and John are coming to church, what I mean is that faith and power, intimacy and love, are coming for a generation that has been crippled by religion. And the word of the Lord is: Rise up and walk! I felt it when I stepped on this property today—that The Roads Church has a mandate from heaven to speak to this! Oh, I feel the Holy Ghost! To speak to this region and say, “Rise up and walk!” You’ve been in routine. You’ve been going through the motions. You once served the devil wildly, but I want to invite you into New Testament Christianity. I want to invite you into revival. I want to invite you to say “Yes!” to Jesus.
Luke 2:27, Luke 2:47, Matthew 21:12, Acts 2:42-47, Acts 3
The early church was committed to steadfastly continue in prayer.
So, if we as a church today believe that we should pray, then what keeps us from praying?
– WE DON’T KNOW HOW.
Prayer can be taught & learned. Jesus taught His disciples to pray.
– WE CAN BE LAZY.
Not wanting to put in the time & effort.
– WE WANT TO BE INDEPENDENT.
Pride won’t pray, it doesn’t need God. Humility prays, it’s dependent on God.
– WE THINK IT DOESN’T MATTER OR MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
Active, working & functioning prayer – it gets the job done!
Keep praying! It matters! It makes a difference! Our prayers are filling the golden bowls in heaven. The goal in prayer is to align our hearts with God and to know what to pray.
“Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit.” JAMES 5:16-18
