HOW TO DISCOVER AND FULFIL YOUR PURPOSE

THIS IS WHY THAT POWERFUL PRAYER MAY NOT WORK

,

But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.

MATTHEW 6:7

Sometimes, you find Christians who say, โ€œI need powerful prayers; so please, pray a powerful prayer for me.โ€ But whatโ€™s a powerful prayer anyway? What makes a prayer powerful? Is it the loudness of the voice of the one praying, or is it because theyโ€™re speaking religious words? Well, what you need isnโ€™t a โ€œpowerfulโ€ prayer, but a simple prayer to a powerful God.

The Lord Jesus, in our opening verse, said that when you pray, you shouldnโ€™t act like the heathen who use vain, repetitive words. They erroneously think theyโ€™ll be heard for their much speaking; Jesus said we shouldnโ€™t pray like that. Read His words: โ€œBe not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask himโ€ (Matthew 6:8).

Learn to pray like Jesus; He prayed and acted simply. Imagine the simple way He prayed at the tomb of Lazarus. The Bible says, โ€œโ€ฆAnd Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. 42. And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me. 43. And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forthโ€ (John 11:41-43).

What makes prayer work is faith, and not the multitude or multiplicity of words. Jesus made this very clear in Mark 11:24: โ€œTherefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.โ€ Therefore, make your prayers simple; pray with faith, and avoid vain repetitions.

When you pray in other tongues, your spirit, by the Holy Spirit, prays according to the will of God. Thatโ€™s primarily the way you ought to pray as a Christian: pray with the spirit first; that is, in tongues, before you pray with your understanding, your natural earthly language. โ€œWhat is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding alsoโ€ (1 Corinthians 14:15).
