UNDERSTANDING PRAYER IN THE NEW TESTAMENT

For the New Testament believer, prayer is not just a means of religious
communication with God; it’s a fellowship. Some people pray because they’ve
been brought up to think it is a reli8gious obligation they must fulfil. True, the
Lord Jesus said ‘...men ought always to pray and not to faint’ (Lk 18:21) letting
us know that prayer is a spiritual obligation for every believer. But that is not all
God intended prayer to be.

In Lk 18:1, the Master said we ought to pray. So we know one of the reasons we
pray is because the Lord Jesus said we should. Beyond that however, we need to
understand the subject of prayer; the things to pray about and how to pray about
them.

Prayer is more than merely talking to God. Many people pray and yet many
don’t. Among the many that pray, a lot don’t have answers to their prayers
because they pray without understanding.

We need to understand that when we pray, we are making contact with the
divine essence within us. This contact strengthens our relationship with God.
Prayer is one sure way of getting yourself focused on God and getting a ‘rub-
off’ in His presence.

Prayer also has its place in bringing God’s word to pass in our lives. There are
certain things we see provided for us in God’s word but we need to do more
than merely confessing to possess them. Someone may say, ‘I am full of the
Spirit of wisdom of revelation, but it doesn’t just come by confessing it,
otherwise Paul wouldn’t have prayed for the Ephesian church that God would
grant them the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him. (Ephe
1:17). You’ve got to pray for that word to take root in your life.
