On prayer.

And it came to pass, that, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said unto Him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples. And He said unto them, when ye pray, say... Luke 11:1-2
Prayer is one of the most important rights God has given His children. Prayer is the breath of the regenerated spirit. Its very importance demands that we know how to go about it. For, except we know how to pray in the God-given way, we can be certain that we cannot receive from Him.

The Scripture says very simply, "Everyone that asketh receiveth." (Matthew 7:8).
But in its simplicity also lies one truth: we must ask aright. Therefore, knowing how to pray is as vital as the need to pray. It is often said that the way to learn how to pray is to pray. However, this is not correct. The way to learn to pray is to be taught. From the Master's mouth, we learn the mechanics of prayer, "...when ye pray, say..." We must humble ourselves and learn like children. There is, as I have already stated, a place for knowledge in prayer, which nothing can replace. Without knowledge we "ask amiss," and asking amiss is the reason some do not receive. (James 4:3).

Prayer is communion with God. The Bible talks about different types of prayer. Basically, however, prayer is asking God to intervene in a given situation on the basis of His word. As you can see, it is not telling God about our problems and needs. No! He knows our problems and needs before we ask. (Matthew 6:32). Rather, it is the word of God concerning our need that we return to Him (Isaiah 55:11). These have always worked for me. God has no favourites, neither has He respect of persons.Pray to prevail for HE IS WORKING!!!
