Teach us to pray.

“And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray,…”
Luke 11:1(KJV)

It is very important you are taught about prayer and the right way to pray because there are principles and rules governing prayer. And so long as you do not know some of these principles and rules, you will be limited, because every man is limited by the knowledge which he possesses.

1 Corinthians 2:14 says, “But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.” This shows you that you cannot receive what you don't know, and you cannot receive what you don't understand. So you are limited by the knowledge you have.

In Psalm 78:41, the Bible says, “Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel.” The Bible says they limited the Holy One of Israel. In other words, you can limit God and His power in your life by ignorance and unbelief.

In Matthew 13:54-58, the Bible tells us about Jesus, that when He went to Nazareth, “... he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.”

Matthew 13:58. This shows us that unbelief would always limit God whenever it is found in your heart.

The Bible says in James 1:6-7(NIV), “But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.” Therefore, when you pray ensure that you do not doubt in your heart.

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you because I believe that you are able to do exceeding, abundantly above all that I am able to ask or think, according to your power that is at work in me. Therefore I believe and I receive every request that I make in faith today in Jesus Name. Amen.
