In Week 3 of the "First Things First" series, Pastor Mike Santiago delivers a compelling sermon titled "How to Use the Old Testament to Pray New Testament Prayers." Anchored in Ephesians 6:18, Pastor Mike emphasizes that prayer is not confined to specific moments but is an ongoing conversation, an overflow of our relationship with God. He delves into the Old Testament, specifically the design of the Tabernacle, and unveils spiritual patterns for effective prayer. The Outer Court represents gratitude, where believers express thanks to God before presenting requests. The Brazen Altar signifies focusing on the cross, recognizing the sacrifice that grants access to God. Moving to the Laver, Pastor Mike highlights the importance of offering every aspect of life to God. The inner tent, symbolizing the Holy Place, features the Candlestick, inviting the work of the Holy Spirit, and the Table of Shewbread, encouraging feeding on God's Word. The Table of Shewbread leads to an exploration of using the Bible as a weapon against the enemy, drawing parallels between spiritual nourishment and the Armor of God from Ephesians 6. The sermon progresses to the Altar of Incense, where worship magnifies God's name. Finally, the Ark of the Covenant becomes a focal point for intercession, and Pastor Mike emphasizes the biblical protocol to God's presence, urging believers to approach with humility and purified hearts. This insightful message provides a comprehensive guide on incorporating Old Testament principles into contemporary prayer practices, enriching believers' spiritual lives.
