KingBaba1:
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 Mega Churches In United States 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

There is no style of prayer that is the bullet prove, maybe you should not regards what you want, regard God and regard the truth of God, i think that all you need. God knows what you want and what you need and he knows when to answer and how, so don't worry about anything.

It depends on what you want from God. If you want protection from evil and to scartter the kingdom of darkness, aggressive prayer is perfect, then for your day to day operation, going in and coming out, calm prayer is okay.
same kingdom you have been scattering since the founding of the world? or the kingdom rebuild every Sunday?

All these categories are good and applies to different situations at a particular period. But The best way to pray is to allow the leading of the Holy Spirit.

Exactly, but not very precise, Prayer is a way of connecting with God, its Good for our spirit beings, because it makes us stronger, and help to bring us closer to God, other benefit are more manifestation of God spirit, which helps us bear more good fruits, of patience, healing, faith, prophecy. etc

Yes I only tried to explain it in neutral ad simple terms.

Also it depends on how u pray many people pray wrongly and assume they are close to God or manifesting Gods spirit etc...

It depends. If you are under witch craft or demonic attack, my brother , forget calmness. Demons and witches are like violent mad people , if you don't show them you are more dangerous and violent, nna, forget , you are already a gonner.

A preacher once said to us in a meeting : "the way you pray doesn't concern him; after all, he is not the one to answer it. Sit, stand, squat, lie down, it's your business between you and your God".
He went further to say: " God is not necessarily interested in what you say with your mouth but rather what comes out of your heart. Sometimes we pray and try to even correct our grammar why praying grin
When you pray just have FAITH. shouting, being calm don't determine whether or not God will answer you. Believe and have faith.

I am cool in nature so I pray in a cool way and I believe God answers my prayers that way. Years ago I was invited to a church by a close friend for child dedication they were all praying aggressively, I ignored them and prayed my gentleman prayer as usual......I looked like an alien to them but I don't give a damn, it's my way.

Is meditation prayer? My point is not based on one religion......

But across all forms of religion.....

Have you seen or heard the way Nigerian's pray, expecting miracles?

We have implemented too much prayers in our activities, which as clearly failed us, it's time to switch.......

If i have a business deal with someone, ant they invoke religion or prayers.... I pull the plug, because that person would eventually scam you........

Religion is a form of blindfolding people, attempting to cloud your true identity, under the guise of religion......

SCAM....



I see ur point on this and u are very correct. Scammers use prayers, religion and even Christianity to Hypnotise, cajole and deceive the gullible and unsuspecting.

Real Christianity doesn’t not take away ur liberty to choose or disagree or question the truth. Those are mans teachings and ideas and laws. They want to control u from the soft spot of religion or God or any other area that appeals to u. Bt u must be wise as a serpent and gentle as a dove.


There is no error in Christianity or God, there is only error in man and his teachings or interpretations.

Re: Aggressive, Violent, Cool, Calm, Which Is The Best Way To Pray As A Christian? by janeedema(f): 11:39am On May 17, 2020
You were born into Christianity, you say. But in truth, Christianity isn't something you are born into. It isn't a religion. You become a Christian by accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and personal saviour, not by birth.

Service in church doesn't make you a member of God's family. Only salvation in the one and only name-- Jesus, does.

How you pray will largely be dependent on how the Holy Spirit that comes to reside at the time of salvation leads.

Cause our words are empty without being empowered by the Holy Spirit. Even Jesus for 30 years didn't say anything that was worth writing about until the Holy Spirit came upon Him after His baptism by John.

Remember that even God didn't say let there be light until the Holy Spirit had hovered over the waters.

My point? Your prayers are empty words full of emotions without the Holy Spirit.

So, start from giving your heart to Christ, and take it up from there.

This way, when you pray, you will pray in line with scriptures, because you are God's child.

The baptism of the Holy Spirit is a different matter. But after salvation. You should ask the Holy Spirit to come infill you. And this happens with evidence of speaking in tongues. In my opinion, this is when you truly start enjoying Christianity.

When you pray in tongues, you don't pray amiss or carnally. You pray with precision and exactness. And that is where God desires to bring each and everyone of us in our walk with Him.

Shout or pray silently? Well, this will be dependent on what the Holy Spirit is leading you to deal with per time.

Shalom.

I think everyone has he or her way of praying o relationship with God, for example Elijah was gentle, so was Moses, but Elisha was aggressive, But God himself or Jesus himself shows the perfect or ultimate way.

I also currently don't enjoy privacy. This has been my approach to prayer:

1, I pray and meditate in a very quiet(almost unoticed) way when my neighbours are with me in the space.

2. I pray loudly mostly blasting away in tongues when I am all alone. It refreshes my spirit a lot.

All in all, the faith I have in God and his powerful spirit in me gets me result always.

Remember that some answers get delayed too. So whether you mumble prayers (like Nehemiah did before the king in Neh 2:4) or you pray aloud (like on Pentecost day in Acts 2:4), be sure your heart is set on God totally, He will surely hear you.
