Goat Talk

Dr Dharius Daniels·Change Church

Monday, February 3, 2025

Summary

In this message, Dr. Dharius Daniels teaches that Christianity represents a completely restored way of being human, modeled perfectly through the life of Jesus. To walk with spiritual authority and overcome life's obstacles like Jesus did, believers must learn to pray like Him using the biblical pattern of the Lord's Prayer. By taking personal initiation in prayer and addressing foundational areas like dependence, forgiveness, vigilance, and confidence, believers can experience divine transformation in their everyday lives.

Pastor's Points

1.Pray Relationally ('Our Father')
2.Pray Locationally ('Who art in heaven')
3.Pray Reverently ('Hallowed be Your name')
4.Pray Corporately and Submissively ('Your kingdom come, Your will be done')
5.Pray Dependently ('Give us this day our daily bread')
6.Pray Soberly ('And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors')
7.Pray Proactively ('And lead us not into temptation')
8.Pray Protectively ('But deliver us from evil')
9.Pray Confidently ('For Yours is the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever')

Key Points

1.Christianity is an entirely new way of being human, restoring God's original intent for our lives rather than normalizing dysfunction.
2.Jesus came not only to demonstrate what He could do, but to show believers what they can accomplish when living life His way.
3.Divine intervention and spiritual progress are often found on the other side of personal initiation.
4.To walk like Jesus in public, believers must learn to talk like Jesus in private prayer.
5.Praying dependently ('Give us this day our daily bread') requires recognizing our limitations and working with the grain God provides.
6.Praying soberly means freeing our hearts from the intoxication of unforgiveness, which otherwise hinders the effectiveness of our prayers.
7.Praying proactively ('Lead us not into temptation') demands self-awareness and asking God to protect us from our own harmful tendencies.
8.Praying protectively places spiritual hedges of intercession around our children, families, and communities.
9.Praying confidently relies on the truth that God holds all authority, power, and glory to fulfill His divine will.

Sermon Moments

“Christianity is an entirely new way of Being Human.”

“Jesus walked on water literally so we could walk on metaphorically what other people drown in.”

“Some divine intervention is on the other side of personal initiation.”

“All provision has a project aspect to it; God gives the grain, but you have to do the grind.”

“Praying soberly is praying free from the intoxication of unforgiveness.”

“When you pray 'lead us not into temptation,' you are saying: 'Lord, protect me from my own tendencies.'”

“Goat prayers are praying hedges around my children, my family, and my church.”

This Week

Initiate personal prayer daily instead of waiting passively for God to move in your circumstance.
Audit your heart for any harbored unforgiveness and intentionally extend grace to those who have hurt you.
Identify personal weaknesses or environments where you are vulnerable to temptation, and pray proactively for divine protection.
Recognize the 'grain' or raw resources God has placed in your hands today and steward them faithfully.
Intercede specifically for your children, family members, and church by praying protective hedges around them.
Shift your prayer life from merely asking for needs to aligning your desires with God's authority and kingdom.
Refuse to normalize spiritual mediocrity or self-destructive behaviors by meditating daily on scripture.

Remember This

If we want to walk in the spiritual authority and victory of Jesus, we must learn to pray according to the framework He taught.

A Challenge for You

Give God no rest until He establishes His praise in the earth; pray with a renewed commitment so you can talk like Jesus and walk like Jesus.
