Prayer
The Voice of God will reveal the power of God and His kindness and gentleness to His creation. Perhaps in reading this material the reader might receive more understanding of the God of the universe and understand that His love is the greatest force in existence. This love is so great that God dares not to even utter a whisper well knowing that the power released in His voice could utterly obliterate everything in existence. However, the Bible indicates that God does speak.
The world has long understood a need and the benefits of meditation. It is to our shame that we of the household of faith have not learned the art which has been given from heaven; the art of filling the soul with the commands of the Spirit and pondering of these commands until the entire essence and being radiates with the power of the Spirit of God. This is the results of meditation. May God grant us this knowledge before it is too late.
This prayer manual is the second in a ten book series developed for the End Time Apostolic Bible Institute School of Prayer Technology. The objective of this material is to expound on the Biblical definitions of the words for prayer and to give the students a sound understanding of what prayer actually consists of.
Many people may ask the question, “What is prayer?,” and not get a very clear response or answer from those whom they ask because prayer is a very complex subject and can literally be so many things that it is hard to really say that it is one thing. Prayer is many things to the child of God especially. It can mean the difference between a life of blessings or a life of curses depending on how one engages in it.
We are told to pray with all prayers and supplication (Ephesians 6:18). What does this scripture mean? Why are people praying, yet their prayers are not getting answered? The church of today has lost its respect for the important force called prayer. Prayer is treated much like making a soup in today’s church. The saints throw everything into a pot, begin to stir it all up, and then throw it to the Lord with no effect or results. It is time to master and further develop the art of prayer.
Prayer is the vital link to our Lord and Savior. Without our blessed right to pray, there would be no mode of relationship with God. As beautiful as prayer is and as wonderful as our relating with God our Father is, entering into prayer by way of worship and praise brings an exciting and wonderful experience. Praise and worship plunges the believer into a pool of love and adoration.
All things contain within the laws and principles by which they are governed. When one misuses the law of gravity, the law becomes violent and can bring much hurt. If one violates the law of dealing with electricity and its principles, devastating results or even death can occur. Many people suffer needlessly because of their lack of knowledge concerning the laws of prayer. Just as the violation of natural laws can cause problems, the violation of spiritual laws can cause more complications.
