The most effective way to pray and have a result is by "HAVING A RIGHT STANDING WITH GOD" and a "PURE HEART" before Him. For the prayer of the wicked is an ABOMINATION before God, whether " calm or louder.

The scripture says the fervent prayer of the righteous availeth much, and this will want me to know the best way to pray according to the Bible and Christian belief.

1. We all know we are different type of human being and our approach to things differ alot.
We have the cool and calm beings, and also the stubborn and aggressive ones.

I see how pastor Adeboye preaches the gospel and pray in a cool and calm way and there are signs, wonders and testimony to that effect...

I also know some agressive preachers and prayer warriors like pastor Paul Adefarasin, N. duncan Williams and TD jakes.

Now, here is why i am writing this write up.

1. I sometimes feel i am too cool and calm in my prayers hence the delay or no answer i have in my prayer requests to the most high.

2. I believe in strategic form of prayer and i also do fast and pray when seeking the face of the lord on something... I don't usually think i am too cool or calm in prayers not until i started waiting endlessly for results.
If i am in a religious gathering, it depends on the leader of the prayer points and the prayer point itself that will determine my ginger and how aggressive i can be, but i don't see it going too hot or too cool.

3.what could be the delay of prayer request of somones need I feel satisfied inside of me when i pray in my own way and style. I don't really have privacy at the moment, and i am someone who really doesn't like people hearing my prayer point if it isn't in a religious gathering and general prayer.

I was born into Christianity and i served the lord in a church unit, but I will like to ask maybe there are ways i need to start praying that i don't know or practice for effective answers from the lord.

N. B. I know jehova witnesses don't pray loud or aggressive prayer, and i also know some other religious organization that doesn't do aggressive praying too.

So which one is which and how do one pray effective prayer with fasting without being aggressive
Your views and opinion will really help, and i will be more than delighted if u can do that with scripture references.

Thanks
Christianity is all about living the Christlike life. I.E living like Christ lived while on his earthly mission. He thought us how to pray in the book of John and I also know that in the garden of getsamany he also prayed while the apostles slept. If he was violent in his prayers I don't think the apostles would have found it conducive to sleep there. My submission.

The most important thing is to pray in the Spirit, and in Faith!!!... The volume, aggressiveness, and manner are quite secondary, and are unique to individuals, conditions, and situations.

People preaching that mere physical aggressiveness enhances answers to prayers are being ignorant!!! However, it makes sense to pray more audibly when instructed to in corporate prayer meetings or gatherings.

Let me clearly and unequivocally state here that those who pray very loudly in residential areas at the audible irritation of their neighbours are nothing but bloody nuisances, and law breakers who should be arrested, prosecuted, and heavily fined or jailed!!!

Whichever method being employed, we should not be an extremists.
Pray however you want, but don't be an hinderance to other people's sanity, comfort and peace of mind.
Reminds me of a former neighbour who wakes me up with her noisy/aggressive supplications.
It was not nice at all.
May God help us all.

all the methods you listed are good but make sure you are praying according to the will of God. Jesus even admonished us saying when we pray we should close our door,saying our father who sees in secret will reward us openly, please when praying don't disturb the peace of others,, the key to answer prayer is our faith not the length or vibration of the pray

Praying is one of the oldest forms of scams.......

Prayer is what you do, when you have nothing else to offer. Hoping one spiritual being would answer it..... FALSE......... grin

I just believe, when i go to prayer, i am not going to disturb God with my little problems, i try to recognize his qualities, and his truth, So when i want to pray it is either to worship God, or to praise what God does in the world. I think God already knows all i need, and it is not important i pray because i need something, what is important is that i want to pray to understand God.

2 things...
Pray with understanding
Pray with Faith

Any other thing is largely a waste of ur time. The requirement for an answered prayer has never been low voice or loud voice. Those where only done on how the individuals were lead or the understanding of the issue bt we Christians to a very large extent preach our own doctrines and try to give our own laws rather than Gods word.

We mix it up and confuse ourselves. Ultimately many Christians pray with lack of understanding.

THE SCRIPTURE SAYS THAT WE DO NOT KNOW HOW TO PRAY BUT THE SPIRIT MAKES INTERCESSION WITH SIGHS TO DEEP FOR WORD ( ROM 8; 26) I HAVE SEEN BRETHREN WHO PRAYS IN TONGUES INADUBILY BUT I DO FIND IT IMPOSSIBLE TO PRACTISE. I PRAY IN TONGUES LOUDLY DOES THAT MAKES MY PRAYER MORE EFFECTIVE? NO! WHAT MAKES IT EFFECTIVE IS THE FAITH BACKED WITH THE LEADING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. IT IS NOT ABOUT INDIVIDUAL PERSONALITY IT IS ABOUT LEADING OF THE SPIRIT AND FAITH

See Christ teachings on prayer: so prayer like this, I think its clear enough to read the act and to understand the mode.


Matthew 6:6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
