My Prayer Life

Publish date: 11/08/2011

Pray at all times (on every occasion, in every season) in the Spirit, with all [manner of] prayer and entreaty. To that end keep alert and watch with strong purpose and perseverance, interceding in behalf of all the saints (God’s consecrated people). Ephesians 6:18 AMP

Prayer is not merely a ritual. You don’t need a book of prayers and you don’t need to go through anyone else to pray to the Father. You can pray yourself – sincerely from your heart – and He will hear you.

Prayer is communication with your Heavenly Father.
Prayer changes people and then people change things.

There are rules of engagement for your prayer life. If you want results in prayer, then you have to follow the rules. There are different kinds of prayer in the Bible - just as there are different rules for different sports. You cannot pray the same prayer for every situation. Prayer is an art that anyone can learn. The Word of God instructs us in how to pray prayers that God hears and prayers that He answers. Prayer is simply having a conversation with the Father. It can be a place of negotiation – where you go to negotiate with God on the basis of His word.  Sometimes people say that they don’t know what to pray. Well, that’s why we have the Holy Spirit.

Also [Jesus] told them a parable to the effect that they ought always to pray and not to turn coward (faint, lose heart, and give up).  Luke 18:1 AMP

When people lose heart, they give up. We must pray and not give up, faint, or lose heart. If we pray according to God’s word and if we pray and don’t give up, we will see results; the Lord will answer us.

This message will bless you and give you valuable insight into the art of prayer that produces results.
