Prayer

And it came to pass, that as He was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said to him, Lord teach us how to pray, as John also taught his disciples. Luke chapter 11 v 1

P

rayer is the key; this is a common language in Christendom. It will be a good idea to know actually what prayer is. Is it a spiritual phenomenon or just a word in the Holy Bible that fascinates people? Of a truth, prayer is more a less a spiritual interaction with the Supreme Being; God. Jesus prayed and this will clarify every known and unknown doubt about what prayer is. It is a supernatural way to communicate with God. In the Old Testament, prophets prayed, kings prayed the people of God prayed, even the pagans prayed to their dead gods and they did not get an answer to their prayers. The people of God in the Old Testament received answers to their prayers. Also prayer can have different form; it is not always asking for blessing, it is used in confrontation with principalities. An example of such prayer can be found in the first book of Kings Chapter 18; this is about the confrontation between Prophet Elijah and the Baal Prophets. A lot of examples can be sited from the Bible about people that prayed, Hannah prayed (1Samue Chapter 1) and in our contemporary Christianity men and women of faith in Jesus had prayed and wondrous things happened. No body on his knees calling upon God will be defeated. Have you prayed today. please make prayer a companion.  God bless you richly as you pray now. Amen!!
