  1. The Four Freedoms of Grace The Freedom to be Candid

  2. What Does it Mean to be Candid? • Fair; open; frank; ingenuous; free from undue bias; disposed to think and judge according to truth and justice, or without partiality or prejudice; applied to persons. • Fair; just; impartial; applied to things; as a candid view, or construction. • Ephesians 3:11-12—how many of you believe that you can come boldly before the throne of grace. Notice that you can because of the faith of Christ. • The third characteristic of the Grace Life is that it gives us the freedom to be candid.

  3. Candid Prayer • I Thessalonians 5:17—contains a straightforward yet incredibly profound instruction regarding prayer. Pray without stopping. • Acts 3:1—there were specific hours and places where prayers were to be offered. • Two spiritual realities are responsible for this change: 1) the fact that the justified believer has peace with God, 2) the fact that the believer is sealed and indwelt by God the Holy Spirit. • Isaiah 59:1-2—Romans 5:1 • II Samuel 7:15, Psalm 51:11—Ephesians 4:30

  4. Candid Prayer • Philippians 4:6—Paul’s formula is simple. Have a concern? Pray right then and there. • The real issue is not what you pray for but what you expect God to do for you when you pray.
