"Specific Prayers"
Matthew 6:9 - *Prayer is a powerful tool, when used correctly. The problem is that most of the time, we don't pray the*right prayers. We must learn to pray specifically and not generally. We must learn to pray as Jesus did*in his prayers. Jesus did not pray vaguely, but he would even sound, to some redundant, to add specifics*to his prayers. He wanted us to learn this so we won't be general when talking to the Father. Don't you*hate when your children or friends talk to you vaguely and do not give specifics? That's so impersonal*and it really makes you feel that you are not close to them. Well, God wants us to be specific and pray for*the right stuff. There are keys to prayer that can unlock doors for you and get results in a hurry!
*Jesus could have just said, "Our Father", but after that he said "which art in heaven"! He didn't want any*other father to answer this prayer, only Father God in heaven. "Thy Kingdom come" is the will of God for the*earth and heaven, so many feel he didn't have to say "Thy will be done", but Jesus was specific, even when*it was obvious what he was saying. Then he said, "Give us this day, our daily bread" because he only wanted*what was meant for that specific day! He could have said "Give us this day our bread" but because he was*specific, he got what was meant for that day. He didn't just say, "Forgive me for my sins" but he stated that he*would forgive others. This is a powerful key because the Word tells us that we must forgive others to be forgiven.*Jesus did not want to waste his time or God's time by praying to be forgiven without first forgiving others. And*if God leads us out of temptation, then it would seem we will automatically be delivered from evil, right? NO.*Jesus was specific and asked for correct leading and then deliverance for when we don't follow his leading.*I know many of you are saying, "is all this really that important?" But I want to let you know that what you want*from God can be unlocked by these keys to prayer. If you pray for specifics that agree with his will, God will act*on your words. Stop praying the same old prayers, vague and general babbling, and start talking to God like you*know what you are talking about. You know what you want and he knows what you need, so if you can agree with*him, then you can get your prayers answered. God has all that you desire and when you learn how to ask, you*will receive it.
*Suggested Reading: Matthew 6: 9-15
