The Use of Prayer Books For Warfare Prayers
Wednesday July 16th
Text: Romans 8: 14, 26, 27
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. Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide has a well-known book to inspire prayer titled, ‘Prayer made simple for holy and righteous Christians.’ Prayer is a spiritual business with spiritual laws guiding it. God is the One that answers prayers 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 against enemies and to make personal decrees. Many go after these books which make prayer easy for them. When prayer is read to God from a book the spirit of the one doing so is scarcely involved, making prayer mechanical. Sinners prefer to recite ready-made prayers but these do not issue from their hearts and so do not receive God's answers. The intelligent God has made man an intelligent being. Prayer is a communication from man to God and involves the spirit, thoughts, feeling, deliberate choice of words, attitude, utterance, which reflect the true state of the heart of the one praying.
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. Follow Bible pattern of prayer for Bible result. When The disciples of Christ asked Him to teach them how to pray, what He presented to them was a pattern of prayer and not what they were to be reciting before God when they wanted to pray,
Thought for the day: Sinners prefer to recite ready-made prayers
Song for the day: Prayer is the key
Bible reading for the day: Isaiah 4-8
