PRARYER

The New King James Version Chapter 11

11 Now it came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, that one of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.”

2 So He said to them, “When you pray, say:

Prayer is such a powerful weapon and Satan knows it that is why when you kneel down by your bed to pray at night the sleep spirit jumps on you and it seems difficult to pray.

He knows if he can stop or hinder you from praying , he will weaken your defenses.

It is imperative that we pray; we must also know how to pray, prayer keeps us intimate with God, it keeps us Strong in the LORD keeps us connected to God.

After being asked by His disciples, Jesus said pray after this manner

Matthew 6:9-13 The New King James Version (Chapter 6)

9 In this manner, therefore, pray:Our Father in heaven,Hallowed be Your name.10 Your kingdom come.Your will be doneOn earth as it is in heaven.11 Give us this day our daily bread.12 And forgive us our debts,As we forgive our debtors.13 And do not lead us into temptation,But deliver us from the evil one.For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

This is not a poem to be recited, but a formula for prayer ha will strengthen and build your up in a Holy Faith, so that you can walk upright in Spirit and in Truth.

Jesus understood the power of prayer, He prayed often, because He knew the power of the enemy over those who lack a prayer life.

Jesus even prayed for Peter that his faith would not fail.

Jesus said to His disciples in Luke 18:1-10 “Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart, saying: “There was in a certain city a judge who did not fear God nor regard man. Now there was a widow in that city; and she came to him, saying, ‘Get justice for me from my adversary.’ And he would not for a while; but afterward he said within himself, ‘Though I do not fear God nor regard man, yet because this widow troubles me I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.’ ” Then the Lord said, “Hear what the unjust judge said. And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them? I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?”

1Timothy 2:1-8 Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, 2 for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time, 7 for which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle—I am speaking the truth in Christ and not lying—a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth. 8 I desire therefore that the men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting

Jesus prayed in our text as He was praying in a certain place; it was then the disciples asked Jesus teach us to pray.

Mark 1:35 “Now in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed.”

He went to a solitary place to pray to get alone with God the Father to have the strength to face His destiny with the Cross.

He prayed then and he is praying now as he prayed for Peter that his faith won’t fail, He is now standing before God the father saying Father touch them also that their faith will not fail the Bible says he ever liveth to make intercession for you and I.

In the Garden, Jesus said to Peter, James and John pray lest you enter into temptation.

In the LORD’S Prayer jesus says to pray to be led not into temptation, delivered from evil.

For victory Jephthah, Hezekiah and Jehoshaphat prayed.

Judges 16:28 “Then Samson called to the Lord, saying, “O Lord God, remember me, I pray! Strengthen me, I pray, just this once, O God, that I may with one blow take vengeance on the Philistines for my two eyes!””

Psalms 55:17 “Evening and morning and at noon I will pray, and cry aloud, And He shall hear my voice.”
