Prayers: The Laws And Various Kinds You Need To Know

By Emeka Whavor


Just before we all go into the full list, it is very central to have full grasp of some simple and core procedures regulating prayers as well as praying. The very first principle is "Go to the Rulebook." The scriptures are our irrefutable charter, bill or constitution on just how our prayers should be made to God. The second reason is that you ought to realise that there are various forms of prayer and various policies overseeing all of them. We see in Ephesians 6:18, the bible says, "praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints." If you decide to check closely, you'll see "Prayingwith all prayer" The Amplified Bible reads thus "Praywith ALL (MANNER of) prayer" One more version puts it this way, "Praying all kinds of prayer" Typically the adaptation that truly hits the nail on the head is Goodspeed's and yes it reads, "Use EVERY KIND of prayer and entreaty, and at every opportunity pray in the Spirit"

Believers today normally have an oversight in being able to single out or differentiate between all these types of praying. Most people basically put all of the prayer in the exact same carrier and shake it all out jointly. Many prayers aren't getting results because everyone is utilizing inaccurate guidelines. In the area of sports, for illustration, we have baseball, basketball, football, golf, tennis etc. They are all sorts of sporting activities - but they are all certainly not practiced with the same regulations. It might really be uninteresting if they had been. For instance, wouldn't it be disorderly to play baseball game by using football guidelines, or vice versa?

The key reason why men and women are somewhat mystified and already have a prayer concern or distress is that they have their regulations and laws about the subject all blurred up together. Some people consider prayer guidelines which oversee one particular form of praying and endeavor to utilize them to other class of praying. For instance, they have football, baseball, basketball, golf and tennis laws all operating jointly. They have everything mixed-up, and thus affects their prayer habit. Sooner than later, many people get dejected.

One popular belief some individuals hold is that they think they must conclude each and every prayer request using the declaration, "If it be Thy will." These people declare: "that is just how Christ prayed." On the other hand, Christ prayed this way on only one occasion which is documented in the The Word of God. That happened in the Garden of Gethsemane when He prayed the prayer of devotion. When these people make an attempt to pray the prayer of faith (the prayer of petition, the prayer to transform things), they end up using "if it be Thy will." And their prayer is inhibited because they are unclear of God's absolute plan for them - His Word. In some incidence, some declare, "I don't understand why that didn't work." That could be similar to indicating in a football game, "I don't see why someone doesn't hit a home run."

Very quickly, we produce a simple list of several kinds of prayers that the Scriptures teaches:

1. Faith Prayer: the prayer of petition, the prayer to change things (Matt.21:22; Mark 11:24). This particular prayer, constantly is dependent on God's uncovered will in His Word, and by no means, comes with an "if."

2. The Prayer of Consecration: the prayer of consecration and dedication of our lives for God's use - to go anywhere and do anything at all. In this prayer we can apply the "If it be Thy will" rule (Luke 22:42).

3. The Prayer of Commitment: throwing all of your worries on the Lord in prayer because He cares for us (1 Peter 5:7).

4. Worship Type of Prayer (Luke 24:52, 53; Acts 13:1-4).

5. The Prayer of Agreement (Matt.18:18-20).

6. Prayer in the Spirit: praying in tongues (1 Cor. 14:14,15).

7. Prayer of Unity (Acts 4:23-31).

8. Supplication Type Of Prayer.

9. Prayer of Intercession
