Topic: Prayer that makes God speak.
Luke 11:2-4 KJV
And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. [3] Give us day by day our daily bread. [4] And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.
As children of God we need to know how to reach our father's heart. God called David a man after His own heart;
How can this be?
David hallowed the name of God above anything.
Let's see the qualities of the prayer that makes God speak:
* Hallow God's name, this means regarding God and bringing no sin before His eyes.
* Regarding God with the whole of our heart requires, that we create time for God. Many of us pray with our most useless times; when are so tired and ready to sleep or when we're rushing for the day's business.
We need to dedicate time to speak with God if we want Him to speak.
* We need to be patient enough to hear God.
When should I pray?
Pray when you will have no distractions, so there can be focus. Don't get me wrong pray always, but don't let your prayer always be disregarding to God. Don't do most of your prayers half asleep. This is what makes many people shout and move while praying, it's not that God won't hear if they're calm, but they do this to keep themselves awake and focused.
Make your request with importunity "Luke 11:8 KJV
I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth."
Do not waver in prayer "James 1:6 KJV
But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed."
* Pray with full assurance that God is capable "Faith"
* Forgive and open up all your faults before God and man(your spiritual leader or relevant brother or sister) it shows genuineness and righteousness of heart.
"James 5:16 KJV
Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much."
* cleanse your hands and heart ;
"Psalm 24:3-4 KJV
Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord ? or who shall stand in his holy place? [4] He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully."
Most importantly pray in the Holy Ghost, not necessarily speaking in tongues but praying the will of the father by the help of the Holy Spirit through the word of God.
"1 John 5:14-15 KJV
And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: [15] And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him."
