SignUp Now!This question just keeps coming up in my mind. Because all throughout the bible prayer is instant..yet today we always wait
So he didn't pray for three years?
Wow If I go a minute without his words flowing through me and mine back to him I get a panic attack.
Then again I'm not trying to stop the sun.
2 Cor. 10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
The original question is rather vague so perhaps instant does not mean the same thing to everyone.
To me it means communication with the Holy Spirit through the noise of my brain.
By brain prayers do you mean silent or thought prayers?The kingdom of God is within us.than that strikes the question of can brain prayers be answered?
My instant means they open in a matter of our moments
Quenton, where do you see the Bible saying that answered prayer is always instant? The parable of the Unjust Judge (Lk 18:1-8) tells us to pray persistently and when God acts, He will act quickly, but that doesn't mean He will answer our prayers right away.This question just keeps coming up in my mind. Because all throughout the bible prayer is instant..yet today we always wait

There are so many types of prayer that some of them may not have an open or a close.
Are you referring specifically to requests?

When Looking at this scripture, for some odd and unknown reason My wonderful brothers and sisters forget to start at the beginning of the passage..Give me a verse where Christ asked persistently![]()
The scripture does not tell us to keep praying over and over about something. NEVER!!! Not when it comes to a petition to God....Praying over and over is doubt and unbelief... Doubt Your relationship with your father is strong enough to where he Heard you the first time... Doubt, God may want to help you, Doubt in what his will is about the situation... Doubt and unbelief, and you are siding with the one that wants to kill you.... Satan..Php 4:6 Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition ([2] definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God.
Gal 6:9 And let us not lose heart and grow weary and faint in acting nobly and doing right, for in due time and at the appointed season we shall reap, if we do not loosen and relax our courage and faint.
Mar 11:24 For this reason I am telling you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe (trust and be confident) that it is granted to you, and you will [get it].
The whole key to this is not fainting, be bold, and pray instead.... This does not denote constant begging to God.... It is a strong and bold position, it is a position of faith....Mat 7:6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine,lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
Mat 15:32 ........ and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way.
Act 27:42 And the soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim out, and escape.
These are just a few of many!! Check it out yourself... Don't take my word for it.
I think it can mean:what are brain prayers?.....that answer is in itself![]()
I am still awaiting your clarification on this.This question just keeps coming up in my mind. Because all throughout the bible prayer is instant..yet today we always wait
I think it can mean:
#1 praying out loud from logic and ritual.
#2 silent praying from logic and ritual.
#3 praying in your head in the Spirit of love.
#4 something I have not considered.
I am still awaiting your clarification on this.
2 Timothy 4:2 Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage--with great patience and careful instruction.

You still have not explained what "instant prayer" means.careful instruction is bolded so...what does it have to do with the instant prayer?
We can listen to the Spirit and pray in the Spirit out loud or silently.When you speak of the brain do you think your praying out loud? my brain doesn't speak out loud tell i open my mouth
Christ's prayer in the garden of Gethsemane is a perfect example of persistent prayer. It can be found in Matthew 26:36-45, and in Luke 22:39.
I love this passage because I believe it really shows a level of "human-ness" to Jesus that isn't seen anywhere else. He prays fervently, persistently, and continually.
He asks that God would take the cup away from Him, He doesn't want to endure the suffering to come, and we know that this prayer isn't answered "yes", it also isn't answered instantly as we know He endured many hours of pain. But the thing I like most about this passage is that we see, through Christ's 3 different prayers, His will being conformed to God's. First Christ prays to have the cup taken from Him, but by the end He's accepted that it won't pass from Him and is willing to follow God. He doesn't "get what He wants", but He does get what God wants in time, with prayer.
There are countless times in the Bible that show persistence in prayer, years and years and years of prayer, so its no different than today's world... God is still the same. (One of my favorite prayers in the Bible is the prayer of Hannah... she prayed many many years before the Lord blessed her with Samuel). There are prayers today that He answers instantly, and then some that He holds off.
And yes, any and every type of prayer is answered... "brain" prayers, silent prayers, kneeling prayers, etc.
You still have not explained what "instant prayer" means.
Careful instruction means to take some care in trying to communicate your question or instruction.It means being willing to explain what you mean.
Can you explain what you mean by "instant prayer"?
We can listen to the Spirit and pray in the Spirit out loud or silently.
We can listen to our brain and pray with logic out loud or silently.
Now I understand,thanks for clearing that up.instant prayer is a prayer that happens as soon as your faith is released no waiting days or months or years it's by the next few moments.
