PRAYER - 1

The word PRAYER means deploying need/demand before God in order to get support. When you ask anything from  God,  it is important to know that he can hear. This  is similar to a child who asks his father a pen or a notebook. The father can hear and give them to his child. When you ask God, you speak to your Father in heaven and He hears as the father of this world, he listens to his son. "Do any of you have a son? If he asked for bread, would you give him a rock? Or if he asked for a fish, would you give him a snake? Of course not! You people are so bad, but you still know how to give good things to your children. So surely your heavenly Father will give good things to those who ask Him".  Matthew 7: 9-11.

How to pray.
1. Pray with faith.
Praying  with faith we must have a faith, and faith is found in the word of God. "So then faith cometh by hearing; and hearing the word of God". Romans 10:17.   When you ask God you must believe that things that you asked God has given you, without a doubt you shall receive.

"Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea, nor not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you receive, it will be yours". Mark 11:23, 24.

"Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the evidence (open) of things not seen. But without faith it is impossible to please; for he that cometh to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek Him".  Hebrews 11: 1,6. " And if we know that He hears us, anything that we ask Him, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him". 1John 4:15.

2 . Pray in holiness.
To pray in holiness you should live a life of holiness, this is just life.   "The Lord is far from the wicked; But hear the prayers of the right eye".  Proverbs 15:29. "We know that God heareth not sinners; but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does his will, he listens to him". John 9:31 . "Dear friends, our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence in God; And whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep his commandments, and do them pleasant in his sight". 1John 3: 21,22.

3. Pray in the Holy Spirit.
In order someone to pray in the Holy Spirit it is necessary to be filled with the Holy Spirit as apostles of Jesus. "And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance". Acts 1: 4. "But, you, beloved, building yourselves up on faith ... very holy, praying in the Holy Spirit". Jude 1:20.

"Praying always with all prayers and supplication…”. Ephesians 6:18.
Jesus Christ was grateful to the Holy Spirit. “In that hour  Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that hiding these things from the wise and prudent; revealed them to babes; Yes, Father, for so it was your good pleasure".  Luke 10:21.

4. Pray for God’s desire.
Is to pray exactly according to the  word or instructions from God and not otherwise.  For example, you can not ask God to help you to do any evil as robberies, this is praying in the wrong way, God does not hear such requests. It is important to find out and know exactly what the scriptures says.    "And this is the confidence we have in him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us". 1John 5:14. "You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss to consume it upon your lusts". James 4: 3 .
