  • T&M TAKING ADVANTAGE OF ALL KINDS OF PRAYER

    Praying always with all prayer…Eph 6:18

    If you want to grow in your spiritual walk, you need to make prayer a cental part of your life. But in order for prayer to be the great adventure Yahvah wants it to be in your lifem, you must understand that there are all kinds of prayer. don’t get stuck with just one form of prayer! The Scripture tells us that there are several kinds of prayer, and you need to learn to use every kind of prayer that’s available to you.

    Eph 6:18 says, “Praying always with all prayer…” The first thing I want you to notice is that this verse commands us to pray “always.” The word “always” is taken from the Greek phrase en panti kairo. The word en would be better translated at. The word panti means each and every.

    You could say that this word panti is an all encompassing word that embraces everything, including the smallest and most minute of details. the last word in this Greek phrase is the word kairo, the Greek word for times or seasons. When all three of these words are used together in one phrase (en panti kairo) as in Eph 6:18, they could be more accurately translated at each and every occasion.

    But I want you to notice that this verse goes on to say that you are to pray “with all prayer.” This phrase is taken from the Greek phrase dia pases proseuches and would be better translated “with all kinds of prayer.” To assist the Assembly in maintaining a victorious position in life, Yahvah has given His people various kinds of powerful prayer.

    Other translations of Eph 6:18 include:

    “Use every kind of prayer…”Goodspeed

    “Pray…with all manner of prayer.” Amp

    Most people don’t realize there are different kinds of prayer. But according to this verse, Yahvah has actually made many forms of prayer available to us as needed, such as the prayer of faith, the prayer of intercession, the prayer of consecration, and the prayer of agreement.

    Sometimes life can be difficult and challenging. for one thing, the devil doesn’t want you to be blessed or successful in your endeavors. So in order to face the inevitable attacks that arise against your marriage, finances, body, job, and career, you must come to realize that prayer is indispensable. You cannot succeed as a Religious person without an active and effective prayer life.

    No matter how anointed, skilled, or gifted you may be or how bo0ld and courageous you thin you are, you simply cannot maintain a victorious position in life apart from prayer. Without prayer, you can be sure of absolute and total defeat. But as you develop a lifestyle of prayer, taking advantage of every form of prayer available to you, you will find that victory is yours in the midst of every challenge!

    The various kinds of prayer have all been given to you for your benefit and spiritual growth. So take the time to study the Word and learn how to pray with “all kinds of prayer.” Don’t let this day go by without spending quality time in prayer with the Heavenly Father. There is victory waiting on the other side.

    PRAYER: YAHVAH, FORGIVE ME FOR THE TIMES I GET SO BUSY THAT I NEGLECT MY PRAYER LIFE. I REALLY WANT THIS INCONSISTENCY IN MY LIFE TO BE BROKEN; I WANT MY PRAYER LIFE TO GET STRONGER AND MORE STABLE. I REALIZE THAT WHEN I DON’T SPEND TIME ALONE WITH YOU, I MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR YOU TO TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT ME TO KNOW. INCONSISTENCY IS A WORK OF THE FLESH, SO I AM ASKING YOU TO HELP ME BREAK THIS PATTERN AND LEARN HOW TO MAKE PRAYER ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT PILLARS OF MY LIFE. I PRAY THIS IN YAHVAHOSHA’S NAME!~

    MY CONFESSION FOR TODAY

    I declare by faith that prayer is a central and significant part of my life. Yahvah has great spiritual adventures planned for me, and He wants to reveal them to me during my time of prayer. I am steadfast, immovable, and consistent in my time with Yahvah. Nothing is as important to me as those moments I enjoy with Him. As I spend time with Him each day, He refreshes my spirit and enlightens my mind with the knowledge that He wants me to know. My prayer time is a key to the success Yahvah is giving me in my life. I declare this by faith in Yahvahosha’s name!

  • Good Morning, Pastor

    1. Yes
    2. It is a habit.  It is like having a dialog with God through the day.
    3. I do not know all the tiles of prayer.  

    Like I said before, I pray like the businessman that I am–short and too the point.

    My live is not depended on my praying–only in part. I think God is involved in my life unilaterally and does things on His own–usually things that I like, but once in awhile He slaps me around to make me behave better. He is more patient than my wife and friends.
