How to pray correctly

How do we pray correctly? More importantly, how do our prayers get heard? The Bible talks about the Pharisees who pray long winded words of wailing and begging which doesn’t work. They also dress poor and walk around with ash in their bodies so they appear to have been fasting for months. The ash wasn’t symbolic of anything. It made them look dirty very quick. God didn’t hear those prayers because what those Pharisees were praying for has no heart in it. These are the kind of people who will stand before Jesus and say lord didn’t we can’t out demons in your name? And he replied away from me you worker of iniquity. I never knew you. That’s the first clue. How do you pray to a god you don’t know? The Pharisees didn’t believe in god. They believed their faith or religion gave them control and power thus when they appear to pray, it’s theater. Jesus didn’t know them because they didn’t believe in him. They used the religion for control and that’s it. So in order for your prayers to be heard, you have to have a one on one meeting with Jesus. 

To get this encounter, you need a true heart. Approach him by telling him the truth. You can’t love him if you don’t know him. That’s what I did. I realized that I loved the idea of him but I truly didn’t know him. All I knew were what the scripture say. That’s not him. Jeremiah 8:8 says 
“‘How do ye say, “We are wise, and the law of the Lord is with us”? Lo, certainly in vain made he it; the pen of the scribes is in vain. This means the scribes have altered the true words. Which ones we don’t know. But my point is that, and I have to give a shout out to TikToker The War Within, who have me the meaning behind Peter leaving the comfort of the word by walking in water towards Jesus but sank when he looked back to the word. Peter looked back at the safety of the word or boat which was full of bread instead of just trusting in Jesus and continue walking on water. My moment of Peter on water is when I verbally said out loud I don’t love you. How can I if I don’t know you? That’s when I heard a stadium roar of cheer. It was audible yet not. I was scared and asked what was going on because I thought the lord would be disappointed. The opposite happened. He said there you are. Finally you are telling the truth. How can you love me if you don’t know me? Now, let’s start a relationship. 

After that, every night I would lie on my pillow and start asking questions. Who are you. Where are you. Why are you. What are you. The conversation would go back and forth from my own imagination. For a while it was just me talking to myself, but eventually, he started telling me things that I never would have thought of. You hear who like my channel and think I have answers but the truth is, Jesus was the one who told me all of my knowledge and wisdom. He gave me the discernment to piece things together and understand the big picture. It could never had happened unless I started to become honest with him. I told him everything about me and what I did bad or good. There is nothing I hide from him. And it’s a release of anxiety and fear, too. To be able to talk to your god like you do your best friend. After a while you start to understand and hear a voice that doesn’t sound like you. A personality of kindness, love and compassion. Never once has he completely rebuked me for something I did, rather he gently tells me it probably wasn’t a good choice and here is why. 

My relationship with The Father is different than the one with Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Each have different personalities. The father gets to the point and wastes no time. Jesus will talk while hugging you and tell you that he’s proud of you while the Holy Ghost relates to every emotion you have because he lives inside you. The Holy Ghost is just as sensitive as we are. Your prayers and thoughts start to become his prayers and thoughts. You both combine in spirit and want the same things. Worldly desires, sin and the like just doesn’t interest you anymore. You start to sin less because it’s not your thing anymore and not because you were trying to. Then when you start to petition or pray for people or situations, your prayers get honed down to specific details. Details that need to be heard by the father. Your prayers become quick and done. Your authority is activated and your angels move at the speed of light to your requests. Specifics become a must as you can’t just pray for a person without knowing their name first. You also need to know the cause of the problem so you don’t waste time on praying for symptom relief. You start to see what ails people without having to ask. You start healing by command. The world opens up to you as an evil environment that you are just visiting for a time. you learn to not pray over people who say they want prayer but do not. You stop giving pearls to swine. You recognize the broken and know which ones you can help and which ones you can’t. 

Your prayers begin with honor, thanks and appreciation. Father, you are the king of kings. There are no thrones higher than yours. Thank you for sending your son to pay the atonement so we can be set right before you and your holy kingdom. Then after you recognize his authority, you ask for help for a person with a full name. You petition your request, command in the son’s name and command under your authority. You recognize these three things will settle anything you missed. Then you mention the cause and petition, command under the son and then under your authority to heal or bind. You then stop the enemy from stealing your prayer and blessing by binding him and all his hosts from hearing this prayer. Then give thanks again and walk out knowing all you said will come to pass. Remind the person you prayed for that it is finished and move in with their life. Don’t let the enemy steal the miracle through doubt and worldly thinking. So to make it simple, give thanks, command by your authority and in some hard cases us the name of Jesus, bind the enemy from hearing your prayer and from stealing it from your prospect.
