Prayer to me is my conversation with God. I don’t use fancy words,because I know God knows my heart.
I just talk to God like he’s my best friend
The way you guys explained in a very much simple way refreshes my soul and deepens my relationship with God.. praise the Lord for every youtube ministries. really Grateful🙌
I am going through a bad time in my life right now and I have asked God to give me strength
I will pray for you Jean that Our Lord God will give you strength. Just keep on going and just know our true home is in Heaven ❤️
Praying for you.
I keep praying for my Son to be blessed in a way that they have no more financial struggles that are affecting us. I wonder if God is teaching us to also live within our means. I have no problem with helping my Son, but my husband is really upset about it. My Son has to pay child support and he has gotten into financial trouble taking a loan out to keep his home for the children that he has had live with him for years but still paid their Mom's child support. It's a mess and I'm in the middle. I pray to God to bless my Son or take this burden away. My husband doesn't want my Son to live with us. That would help, but he can't see it.
✝️🙏💜
Praying for you precious sister, God knows what you are going through. Please continue to trust Him and not to lean to your own understanding.
2 Corinthians 1:3-5 kjv
3. Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;
4. Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.
5. For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.
Proverbs 3:5-6 kjv
5. Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
I pray frequently but when I am finished I end with your will not mine
Humility is the key I know that I know!
I think Lord's prayer is more like our personal prayer. It has all the things in it which are enough for our living on this earth. We can pray different prayers when others request us to pray for their needs or when we have to pray for other things like health, God's wisdom in education, work or in church etc. Thank you and God Bless..!! 🙏💐🙌
This was a nice listen, Thank You. 🙏❤️
Amen 🙏 I always start off my prayer with thanksgiving and praise
God is always on my mind, anytime during the day or night that I feel I need help, Lord help me, Lord I truly need your help at this, please show me a way, And most of the time he does.
I feel I can do anything, But I also know he is there to guide me.
Greetings brothers, please pray for my cousin, his name is Rafael briñez, he is going through a very rough time spiritually, so please pray 🙏 for him, thanks.
This topic has been in my mind for sometimes now. I've discussed about this with different people, and I think God is showing me what I've been looking for at the right time. Thank you.
God answers every prayer,... Sometimes the answer is no,....
I need to study more in get into my prayers I have to do better. I'm grateful for this talking about praying this was good. I been slacking on my bible studies
i praise God for these godly people that explain and enlighten us. may our almighty God give you more anointing in your ministries. P.S. Gwen kinda looks like britney spears ☺
Amen, our primary focus is/should be a relationship with God, His will for our lives and His Kingdom. His will be done.
Matthew 6:10 🙏👑
"Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven."
Many thanks!
Love your conversations!! The background ambient music was a bit distracting. I hate having good hearing :)
Thank you for the feedback. We'll have our video producer turn the background music down a notch or two.
@@gotquestions Thank you, or to turn it off completely. God's holy word is all we need.
God knows how to answer us if he chooses to answer us at all . Even if he don’t answer that is the answer . I got told to be quiet and listen . I complained about my afflictions . Words came back , “ your not the only one . “ . He’s there , we get through the circumstances . God bless .
Yes the first thing he knows is the word of God he knows God's word which he magnified above his name I'm almost here at the end so he already knows what God's will is for his life and what God's will is not for his life so he already knows what the word says about anything he's going to pray for so he's actually praying for it out of his own desire for God does know Paul's power and that he can handle it and that that's why he needs to go through it so he can keep growing and learning to keep being his best for the furtherance of the Gospel
Thank you for this. For further studies I would highly recommend reading E.M Bounds on Prayer.
Oh now well at a minute 25:20 you just revealed that it's all about you oh they're all looking at me I need to pray the right way I need to do it the right way so that they're not offended and how much of the word of God do we hold back from them hearing if we don't pray in absolute power of Jesus Christ's full accomplishment
I was at a bible study years ago and we were sitting in a circle. We were to each take turns praying for the person on our right. I was very uncomfortable. One .. I didn't know the person on my right and two I never prayed outloud in a group setting before. There was a few ladies who prayed scripture with king james verbage. When it was my turn I felt so stupid. I think I said maybe 5 words and turned bright red. The following week one of the ladies asked who prayed for her and I had to amitt it was me. She said her prayers were answered and thanked me for being the one. That gave me the boost I needed but I still feel awkard praying in a group of adults. I wish more seasoned believer would think of the young new believer more and not be so eloquent. I prefer to pray with children with their simple prayers from the heart not the head.
I am now only at 3 minutes and 40 seconds on 30 minutes but all I'm going to say is Jude 20 you figure out June 20 and I'll be listening to the rest of this video but I'm going to put down June 20 right now cuz I don't know who he's talking to but from up to 3 minutes and 40 seconds I guess it's just introduction but Jude 20 takes care of all of your issues you learn what you 20 is and you won't have to question anything about your prayer ever again
When I pray I use God's word to pray I don't use my own words I use God's word because that's what God magnified above his name not me not my words God's words
Whom do we address when we pray?
3:40 "Specifically right to the Father"
I've been reading a daily bread, one day I read a portion which tells me whom to pray to and one thing struck my mind and made me questioned, Whom do we address when we pray? Scriptures like these clearly tells me whom to address:
"And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth." - Luke 11:2 KJV
"Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven." - Matthew 18:19 KJV
11:10 'Start off with "Heavenly Father" and ends with "in Jesus' name"'
"23 And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.
24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full." - John 16:23-24 KJV
When we end our prayer with 'in the name of Jesus', we certianly to Jesus, but the Father. He intercedes for us.
Many christians, including some church elders aren't aware about this.
How do we Pray?
20:13 "Pray according to God's will"
"Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts." - James 4:3 KJV
When we ask God for things that we want or need, the answer should ultimately serve the purpose and will of God.
"And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him." - Colossians 3:17 KJV
"We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you," - Colossians 1:3 KJV
Thank you so much for this and for providing all of this scripture in the KJV too. God bless you!!
Yeah God knows you're heart so if you don't know God's Bible then you don't know God's heart and if you don't know the Bible it's because you don't want to because God is everywhere present and always wanting his children to know everything about his word I've got all chapters and verses to back this up if you dare challenge me you go to June 20 you figure that out and you won't have to question anything about prayer
Just Pray like the way Jesus pray to the father he teach us and now you are saying it’s not important, In Matthew 26:39, it states that Jesus fell on his face and prayed
The Lord's Prayer was from the Lord to his disciples at that very moment because that prayer is not available to be prayed now since the Ascension do you know what time frame we are in it's the time frame that we are in right now is different the time than the time frame that Jesus was in it all changed on Pentecost Acts chapter 2 verse 1 everything changed
In a minute 2644 it says that God didn't answer his prayer no God answered his prayer and him being able to continue through without the Thorn being removed for him to grow and learn it doesn't say that God didn't answer his prayer it says that the thorn did not get removed so in that thorn not getting removed Paul had greater learning to have more power is the answer to the prayer that my grace is sufficient for the don't worry about the external pressures being relieved just focus on my word and my power right because God's power sufficient in our unsufficient power it wasn't that God didn't hear him or answer his prayer it's that God knew he could get through it without it The Thorn In the Flesh being removed
At 23 minutes and 54 seconds he's talking about thinking about how other people think that they can't pray as well as somebody else so that person in there thinking is not going to pray as elegantly to God because of somebody else you're representation and your witness is what they're going to go by so if you're praying and very simple terms because of someone else in your thoughts that you think will think less of themselves by the way you pray what kind of wow that is so messed up
Minute 25 they've asked the question in the past how to pray obviously they didn't ask the Bible how to pray and obviously they don't know enough to know even how to get to the Bible to what's written to them and not somebody else
Lastly, what is this music in the background and is it necessary?
Give the people the true Godly Powerful Answers then go back and explain why you're giving them John 14:12 along with June 20 what's written to them do they know do they know where to go do you guys even know where to go
People like Priscilla Shirer who you mentioned and many ministries have moved into false teachings and practices not of God like mysticism, contemplative prayer etc. etc. We need to be extremely careful following and listening to any ministry (including this one) and check everything we hear against scripture.
Luke 16:15 kjv
“And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.”
Why don't you start with the words of God in your Communications on your recordings of video start with the answer to give people power and then go into the explanation of it John 14:12 Jude 20 and John 14:12 he's talking about going unto his father he's talking about after he's gone To his father so he's not talking about the time that he's actually talking to his boys
You have to answer first off is that God does not hear the prayer of sinners.
John 9:31
“Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.”
WE must tell people that they first have to have a relationship with God, through His son Jesus Christ by being born again, firstly.
John 3:3-5 kjv
3. Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
4. Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
5. Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
Lastly, instead of paraphrasing the scripture, go to the scripture and read it verbatim.
Please give people the scripture. Also these micro prayers might be OK from time to time, do you spend micro times with your children or at your jobs or with your spouses? -- so we shouldn't think it is OK to just spend these micro times with God, this is not taught in scripture. People need to first read the bible and know God through His holy Word and this will instruct us how we should pray. God wants an intimate relationship with his children (and who are His children, those who are born-again) and like any relationship, you MUST spend time with the object of your affection!!
Philippians 4:6 - Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
John 15:7 - If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
Mark 11:24 - Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
1 Thessalonians 5:17 - Pray without ceasing.
Romans 8:26 - Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
Matthew 6:6 - But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
Matthew 6:7 - But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
Luke 11:9 - And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
1 Timothy 2:1 - 4 kjv
1. I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
2. For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
3. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
4. Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
One principle don't try to base your teachings on what other people think you'll be talking in circles I don't want to pray to God with my whole heart because that may be too much for them listening oh my God are you playing a game or you playing charades are you playing what are you playing that is so messed up listening to your words about how you don't want to pray with your whole heart to God because you may offend somebody because they don't know how to pray that way that's messed up
