Description

A 'Must' for Every Prayer Group and Church.

The art of prayer, known to early-day Pentecostals, has been virtually lost in recent years. However, in order for God to accomplish what He desires, the true art of prayer must be resurrected in the Church.

Kenneth E. Hagin's book 'The Art of Prayer', shows how this can be done. Kenneth Hagin writes, "We believe God will use this book to raise up and train a great number of people who know how to pray and who will be at the forefront of the work of the Lord in these last days." This book is a "must" for every prayer group and church.

The chapters in this important handbook on the lost art of prayer cover such subjects as: praying for your nation, interceeding for the lost, praying for deliverance, groanings in the Spirit, fasting, and praying for those in sin.

Various Kinds of Prayer

Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverence and supplication for all saints.
Ephesians 6.18

Notice that says, "Praying ...with ALL prayer..." The Amplified transaltion reads, "Pray...with ALL [MANNER of] prayer..."
Another translation reads, "Praying with ALL KINDS of prayer..."

The church world make a mistake in not differentiating between those different kinds of praying. We simply put all prayer in the same sack and shake it all out together. Many prayers are not working because people are using the wrong rules and laws.

In the field of sports, for instance, we have baseball, basketball, football, golf, tennis, etc. These are all kinds of sports - but they are not all played by the same rules.

Wouldn't it be confusing to play a baseball game with football rules, or vice versa?
The reason people are confused and have a prayer problem is that they have their rules and laws all mixed up together.

One common misconception people have is they think they should conclude every prayer with the words, "If it be Thy will." They claim that this is how Jesus prayed. However, Jesus pryed this way on only one occasion that is recorded in Scripture. That was in the Garden of Gethsemane when He prayed the prayer of consecration.

When they attempt to pray the prayer of faith (the prayer of petition, the prayer to change things), they concluded with "if it be Thy will." And their prayer is hindered because they are uncertain of His will - His Word.
Don't be confused. Go to the Rulebook! Go to the Bible and see how to pray.

Different kinds of prayer:
*The Prayer of Faith: the prayer of petition, the prayer to change things (Matt. 21:22; Mark 11:24). This prayer, is always based on God's revealed will in His Word, never contains an "if".

*The Prayer of Consecration: the prayer of consecration and dedication of our lives for God's use - to go anywhere and do anything. In this prayer we pray, "If it be Thy will (Luke 22:42).

*The Prayer of Commitment: casting our cares upon the Lord in payer (1Peter 5:7)

*The Prayer of Worship: (Luke 24:52,53; Acts 13:1-4)

*The Prayer of Agreement: (Matt 18:18-20)

*Prayer in the Spirit: (1Cor 14:14.15)

* United Prayer: (Acts 4:23-31)

*The Prayer of Supplication.

*Intercessory Prayer
