“Prayer can do anything God can do.”

1. RLCSAC Sermon Podcast’s “Forgive Us Our Sins | Teach Me How to Pray | Pastor Dean Deguara” focuses on Luke 11:3-4 and the daily prayer for bread and forgiveness. 2. Dean Deguara serves as online pastor at Real Life Church Sacramento, and he also references Pastor Otis, John Warren Jr., and Kathy in the sermon. 3. The episode asks what it means to live with daily connection to God instead of treating prayer as an occasional religious task. 4. Deguara says “prayer can do anything God can do” and connects that claim to “give us each day our daily bread.” 5. He uses the wilderness manna story to say Israel could not store up heaven’s supply for tomorrow. 6. He says fresh bread in Iceland illustrates the point that God does not want believers living on day-old bread. 7. He quotes “man shall not live by bread alone” and says believers need to hunger for “every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.” 8. He links daily prayer to the need to feed the spirit daily, not just deny the flesh daily. 9. He says self on the throne puts “the kingdom of God” on hold, while yielding to the Holy Spirit lets God’s will unfold “on a regular basis.” 10. He argues that forgiveness must be asked for daily because “grace was never meant to be stored up” and “mercy was never meant to be stockpiled.” 11. Deguara defines forgiveness with the Greek word “aphemi,” saying it means to pardon, remit, cancel, and “take the ink off the page.” 12. He says forgiveness involves “to let go of,” “to abandon it,” and “to refuse to entertain it.” 13. He reads Psalm 139:23-24 as a regular prayer for God to search the heart and point out anything offensive. 14. He says sin separates, isolates, and navigates people away from intimacy with God. 15. He warns that opening the door to the enemy invites bondage, division, and condemnation. 16. He says self-righteousness makes it harder to forgive others because people demand from others what God has already dismissed in their own lives. 17. He tells a personal story about not speaking to John Warren Jr. for 23 years after leaving a church assignment. 18. He says God later told him to invite John and Kathy back, and that breakfast meeting included apology, honor, and restoration. 19. The tone is pastoral, exhortational, and highly interactive, with repeated questions, direct address, and a communion moment led with prayer. 20. People dealing with church hurt, resentment, or stalled spiritual growth would likely connect with this message, while listeners wanting a brief, low-application sermon may skip it.
