Before we enter in the list, it is important and vital all for us to understand a little bit of very basic guidelines overseeing prayers and praying. The first guideline is "Go to the Rulebook." The Holy Bible is the Christian Believers unarguable bill on exactly how our prayers should go. The second is that you need to understand or know that there are particular types of prayer and different guidelines regulating them all. Note in Ephesians 6:18, the Word of God says, "praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints." Once you take a glimpse intently, you will observe "Prayingwith all prayer" The Amplified Bible reads thus "Praywith ALL (MANNER of) prayer" An additional Bible adaptation presents it this way, "Praying all kinds of prayer" The main bible edition that actually that happens to strike the most is Goodspeed's and it also says, "Use EVERY KIND of prayer and entreaty, and at
every opportunity pray in the Spirit"
The body of Christ today generally makes an error in not making a distinction between those forms of praying. We tend to simply put virtually all prayer inside the very same bag and stir everything with each other. A variety of prayers are definitely not answered due to the fact that people are using the absolutely incorrect principles. In the business of sports, as an illustration, we have baseball, basketball, football, golf, tennis etc. These are typically all kinds of physical activities - but are all definitely not played through the same guidelines. It could really be confusing if they were. To illustrate, will it not be chaotic to play baseball tournament using football regulations, or the other way round?
The key reason why men and women are somewhat mystified and already have a prayer concern or distress is that they have their regulations and laws about the subject all blurred up together. Some people consider prayer guidelines which oversee one particular form of praying and endeavor to utilize them to other class of praying. For instance, they have football, baseball, basketball, golf and tennis laws all operating jointly. They have everything mixed-up, and thus affects their prayer habit. Sooner than later, many people get dejected.
One popular belief some individuals hold is that they think they must conclude each and every prayer request using the declaration, "If it be Thy will." These people declare: "that is just how Christ prayed." On the other hand, Christ prayed this way on only one occasion which is documented in the The Word of God. That happened in the Garden of Gethsemane when He prayed the prayer of devotion. When these people make an attempt to pray the prayer of faith (the prayer of petition, the prayer to transform things), they end up using "if it be Thy will." And their prayer is inhibited because they are unclear of God's absolute plan for them - His Word. In some incidence, some declare, "I don't understand why that didn't work." That could be similar to indicating in a football game, "I don't see why someone doesn't hit a home run."
Very quickly, we produce a simple list of several kinds of prayers that the Scriptures teaches:
1. Faith Prayer: the prayer of petition, the prayer to change things (Matt.21:22; Mark 11:24). This particular prayer, constantly is dependent on God's uncovered will in His Word, and by no means, comes with an "if."
2. Consecration Prayer: the prayer of consecration and dedication of our lives for God's use - to explore wherever and carry out just about anything. Within this prayer we will pray, "If it be Thy will" (Luke 22:42).
3. The Prayer of Commitment: throwing all of your worries on the Lord in prayer because He cares for us (1 Peter 5:7).
4. The Prayer of Worship (Luke 24:52, 53; Acts 13:1-4).
5. Agreement Prayer (Matt.18:18-20).
6. Spirit-filled Prayer: praying in tongues (1 Cor. 14:14,15).
7. United Prayer (Acts 4:23-31).
8. The Prayer of Supplication.
9. Intercessory Prayer.
