Prayer is primarily our communication with the Lord. Communication has purpose, and the purpose
usually determines the mode and relevant details for the communication to be effective.
The disciples of Jesus were Jews and they knew how to pray religiously. After walking with Jesus for a
while, they realized that Jesus didn’t pray as they did. He actually had results continually in a way that
startled them. They finally said to the Master, “Teach us to pray.”
Many have had their understanding of prayer distorted by “religion” and wrong teaching. As a result,
they have difficulties changing their misconceptions on even fundamental truths about prayer
Praying is such an important part of our lives as Christians. First of all, we must recognize prayer as a
privilege as well as an honour. Every moment of prayer is an investment in eternity and true prayer is a
romance of righteousness. Our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ. Through
prayer we participate in the communion of the God-kind; it’s a throne-room caucus rendezvous: Jesus
made it so! Oh, that the eyes of our understanding may be enlightened to see this awesome truth and that
we may walk in the light of it! What a time of rich communion with the Lord prayer provides us!
When we pray, we make tremendous power available, dynamic in its working, causing changes in our
favour. Certain prayer sessions are specially designed by the Lord to help straighten out things in the
spirit-realm regarding our immediate or later future as individuals, families or ministries. How wonderful
that we can change circumstances and alter destinies in His Name through prayer! We serve a kind,
loving, great and gracious God who daily loads us with benefits (Psalms 68:19). During times of prayer,
we can meditate on His goodness and appropriate these benefits to our life’s circumstances.
Scripture enjoins us to pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17). Prayer helps to season our spirits
as a dependable receptacle for God’s Spirit and power. Then we can connect to His ideas, visions and
leadings more easily in order to change the world.
It is God’s earnest desire to have a rich, vibrant and enduring fellowship with His children; but how can
they enjoy such communion with Him if they don’t know how to pray effectively? This is one of the many
reasons He impressed it upon me to write “HOW TO PRAY EFFECTIVELY” and share with you some
vital truths and principles of effective prayer. This first volume will help establish for you a clear
understanding of the rules of different prayers for different situations and how to apply them for your
desired outcome.
You can expect your prayer life to be revolutionized as you open your heart to receive and practice the
divine insights that will be unveiled to you.
