Prayer-Our communication to YHVH

Greetings,

The last part of the Armor of God is prayer. This is our communication to God. He isn't a endless wish list to fulfills our desires, our desires to be healed or for family and friends to be healed. He answers all prayers.....even if the answer is no.

Jesus gives us an exemple prayer in Matt. 6:5-15. This is a outline for our prayers but not something to be repeated all the time when we pray.

There are 10 types of prayer-

1. Prayer of Adoration-These prayers come from a place of genuine awe of who the Lord is and all that he does.

2. Prayer of Thanksgiving-Prayers of gratitude are prompted by an answered prayer, deliverance, recognition of how good and merciful God is, or simply because we have been given another day of life.

3. Prayer of Confession-Jesus called those he interacted with to confess their sins and sin no more. <>p> 4. Prayer of Vows-Praying a promise to the Lord is a prayer that we may pray when we are making a life-changing commitment and that we need God’s strength, guidance, and help to fulfill.

5. Prayer of Quiet Reflection-Prayers of silence draw us away from prayers filled with words, and into a place where we quiet ourselves down and reflect.

6. Prayer for Healing-A prayer for healing is usually spoken when we seek restoration for our physical bodies, spiritual wholeness, or emotional wounds.

7. Prayer for Deliverance and Help-When we are facing challenges, hardships, or oppression, we find ourselves praying for deliverance and breakthrough. YHVH is one who can help us in ways no one else can.

8. Prayer of Intercession-Praying for others is a crucial part of being part of the body of Christ. The Bible instructs us to pray for one another and to intercede on someone else’s behalf.

9. Prayer for Transformation-As followers of Jesus, we aim to live like him, live according to his ways, and enter into a lifelong process of sanctification. Praying for this type of transformation in our hearts, minds, and lives is purposeful.

10. Prayer of Blessing-Prayers of blessing are often said for visiting missionaries, or families relocating to another church, those starting a new job, or new graduates. We pray blessings over newlyweds, newborns, or even over a new house or car. Prayers of blessings are found throughout Scripture and are powerful ways to ask for God’s best to be poured out.

A Prayer for Every Need-Prayer is conversation with God and that conversation may differ when it comes to the motivation, meaning, and purpose.

Yeshua prayed in the Garden of Gethsemine before he was arrested the night before his crucifixion, he prayed for that cup to be taken from him. But he told the father, your will be done.....not mine. He fasted and prayed for 40 days and nights in the wilderness, he was tempted by the enemy. But he held fast to the will of father and following Torah. He prayed for Lazarus to be raised from the dead and it was so. He prayed for the healing of the little girl and it was so. He healed the man who had lain on a mat all of his life and that man was healed. The Pharisees were irate because accoring to the oral Torah, healing on the sabbath was forbidden. Read that again, according to the Oral torah....not the written Torah.

Our prayers are answered accordiing to his will,not ours.....even if the answer is no. I prayed for my husband's healing daily but ultimately he lost the battle.

What is your prayer? May YHVH answer it.

Until next time,
