How to pray

When some people pray they pray for their own plessures and desires and God does not grant to these kind of people who do such kind of thing. When you read James 4:1-6 ;you will learn that GOD resist the prayers of those who seek their own pleasures and grant to those who are humble and yet seek HIM.

Before Jesus Christ died He  taught His disciples how to pray...He told them that they should pray;
Our father who art in heaven

hallowed be thy name 

thy kingdom come 

thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven

give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our transpasses

as we  forgive those who transpass against us 

and lead us not into temptation 

but deliver us from evil.

For thy is the kingdom the power and the Glory now and forever. AMEN.


From this prayer we understand that when we pray we are supposed to praise the Lord for he is mighty and powerful and you have to acknowledge that there is absolutely nobody or should i say anybody as powerful as Him. You must learn to praise the LORD the moment you pray. Then you are supposed to thank the LORD for all His glorious and wonderful things He does in your DAILY LIFE.

SOME PEOPLE MAY ASK WHAT ARE THE THINGS GOD DOES FOR ME IN MY DAILY LIFE?
ANSWER

1.Know that when you wake up thats also a miracle that has occured in your life that day
2.When you are alive and well thats also some thing to acknowledge from God .
3.If you are not sick thats also some thing to thank God for.
4.When you have a job or should i say that one is employed thats also some thing to thank for and so on...

Learn that it is important to thank God for all the nice things and the bad things that happen in your life. For there are some people who do not get some of the things you receive from God in some way you may say that, "That is a gift or it is by grace that you have or experience all those things." and so you see for this reason it is good to thank the Lord.

After thanking the Lord, you have to ask for forgiveness for all the wrong things that you have done. You also tell God the people you have forgiven. Forgiveness shall help you to go on without guilt in your Christian life. Forgiveness is a very powerful thing to ask for, for it is written that God does not hear the prayers of sinners.

Then you come on to asking God for your daily bread meaning the things that are up most important and you require for them to happen.There are people who might ask what are the things that one may require in his daily life?

Well thats simple;
1. A job
2.Food
3.Parents
4.Health
and much more than you can imagine.

Then you end your prayers by thanking the Lord for he has already done what you have prayed for.

There some people who say that prayers are an actual waste of time because it is written that, "The Lord knows what you are going to ask even before you ask of it" well to these people, it is really bad for them. To those who think in such a way well hear is the answer:

The Lord truly knows what you are to ask before you ask of it but he needs you to confirm through your prayers that you are truly in need ofthat which you ask. Because you were given free will to make decisions and your decisions may change tthat's why we are to pray to make our requests known to God.

When we talk about prayers know that they are various types of prayers on can do;

Like 

The prayers for war with evil spirits (maombi ya vita).

This are prayers which enable you to fight against the evil and demonic spirits in the spirit world. The spirit world is more uch more real than the physical world. In this word is were the things unseen  such as angels and then unclean spirits can be seen.

When you read Ephesians 6:11-12, it says;

Put on the whole armor of

God, that you may be able to

Stand against the schemes of 

The devil.

For we do not wrestle 

Against flesh and blood, but

Against rulers against the 

Authorities, against cosmic powers 

Over this present darkness against spiritual forces 

Of evil in heavenly places

Through this verse we gain understanding that our battle is not against flesh and blood tat is the physical world but against the rulers, against authorities, against the cosmic powers  over this present darkness... which is the spiritual world.

FALSE PROPHETS

Prophets are a voice of GOD. kings are a hand of God prophets and priests have one work but they differ in responsibilities. Prophets are created by God. As usual Satan also creates his own prophets who will deceive the people even the elect.



QUESTION
Why didn't God stop Satan from creating his own false prophets?
Matthew 7:15-23

Prophets will predict and give warnings, to rebuke and give various signs which show and prove the word of God and Satan does likewise also. Prophets can be from God but give predictions against that which is of Gods love .  Prophesy is a small spiritual gift but it can destroy the church and its people or build the church and make it alive.

PROPHETS OF GOD

5. A servant of God does not come over a  short period of time and start a church over a short period but starts slowly and God does this so that the Lord can test if he is still following Him.

6.A sevant of God or a prophet has no great names  and does not praise himself especially when he is in the alter of God.
