THE USE OF PRAYER BOOK

God's blessings shall follow you for taking the time to study.
TOPIC: THE USE OF PRAYER BOOK
SATURDAY DECEMBER 23RD
TEXT: LUKE 11: 2-4
Key verse: Psalm 65:2 “O Thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.”
There are books written to teach the people of God on prayer, just as books are written to teach the people of God on faith, marriage, Christian giving etc. Prayer is a spiritual business with spiritual laws guiding it. The Person that answers prayer is God and not a prayer machine. The prayer He answers is the one inspired by the Holy Spirit and flows from the heart, the innermost being of man. There are prayer books that contain composed prayers to be used towards God, against the enemies and for personal decrees. Many use these books which make prayer easy for them.
When prayer is read to God from a book the spirit of the one doing so scarcely is involved. The effect is that the art of prayer becomes mechanical, and the Spirit of prayer is absent. The prayer becomes a cloud without water. Sinners and the needy rejoice to have readymade prayers to recite, but these do not issue from their hearts and so do not receive God's answers. God is an intelligent being and has made man an intelligent being. Prayer is a communication from the man, the lower intelligent being to God the Supreme intelligent being. Such involves the spirit, the thoughts, the feeling, the formation of words, the choice of words, the attitude, utterance, which represent the true state of the heart of the one praying, which is already known by God. Psalm 62:8 Trust in Him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before Him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.
Testimonies may be given on the use of this kind of prayer books, yet holy believers should not subject themselves to such prayer recitations. A lot of those composed prayers are not in line with the scriptures! What we are interested in is not result only, but adherence to the word of God, which is pure, clean, true and abides forever. When king Saul went out of the way of God in his desire to see Samuel, he indeed saw Samuel, not by God, neither was he truly Samuel. Satan and his demons are there to answer those that do not follow the scripture but other ways in their prayers.
Thought for the day: Follow Bible pattern of prayer for Bible result.
Song for the day: Call upon Me, in the time of trouble…
Bible reading for the day: Habakkuk 1-3; Revelation 14

For taking your time to study remain blessed. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...
