Prayer Tips
How to Develop a Powerful Prayer Life and to pray effectively.
To develop a powerful prayer life you will have to be loyal to the church and your faith. You can join a church and they may offer some classes to help you to develop a Powerful Prayer Life.
One of the best ways to develop a powerful prayer life is to spend time reading the Bible if you are Christian. Set aside a time for Bible reading and study. At the beginning and the end of the session you must began to pray and let God lead you and direct you.
God’s earnest desire is to have a rich, vibrant, and enduring fellowship with His children; but how can we enjoy such communion with all its blessings and benefits if we don’t know how to pray effectively? We must at first establish a clear understanding of the rules of different prayers for different situations and how to apply them for your desired outcome.
Believe and Receive God:
Faith is the substance and by believing in that there is a Real Mighty God, a creator of heaven and earth and that He is and that there is a life after life for those who believe in Him, these believing in God has a desire to worship Him.
Heb 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Do what it takes for following Christ, and to maintain your reverence for God. Know that He is mighty, is the creator of the Universe and deserves glory, praise and honour.
God created man to worship Him. Even nations that do not know or ever heard of the Gospel of Jesus Christ worship a god. Worshipping and believe is an inborn gift from God.
Gal 4:8 Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods.
Your prayer life should acknowledge the Lord in His rightful place in your life. The bible tells us that where your treasures, your heart is, is the God that you serve.
Mat 6:19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
Mat 6:20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
Mat 6:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Mat 6:22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
Mat 6:23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
Mat 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
