Saying the Right Prayers

It is very bad to know that God is waiting to hear from us and yet we fail to pray. But the truth is that not all prayers get to God and not all prayers are answered by God. So if we put ourselves in situations where our God can readily hear us, we receive immediately answers to prayers, otherwise we pray but pray in vain.

How to Make the Right Prayers

Always Pray to the Father with only one name. Many people who pray, do not direct their prayers to the only true God. They pray but not to the father, and such prayers are not acceptable to God.

“But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you”.

Mathew 6:6

Many Prayers are never to the Father who is in the third heaven. Most prayers are not able to get to God because such prayers carry weakness in them that just limit them to this earth or atmospheric heaven or the second heaven.

“If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

Mathew 7:11

The third heaven is the place where Our Father works. It is forbidden to pray to deities or powers that solely exist on earth or in the heavens. It ought to be delivered to our heavenly Father, who dwells in the third heaven. Another fundamental fact is that a person must respect Christ in order for God to hear his prayers and answer them. Christ is the only Mediator between God and Man, and he must acknowledge this. He can only invoke Christ's name in his prayers.

“And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you”.

John 16:23

Anyone who must receive an answer from God must bow down, totally surrendering all his life to the Lord Jesus Christ. He must believe in the saving power of Christ and Pray to God through his name alone.

“For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;”

1 Timothy. 2:5

The name of Jesus is the only name without addition or subtraction that is qualified to receive an answer from God. God cannot turn his face or release an answer to anyone who has anything against Him or his only begotten Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.

“In that day you will no longer ask me anything. I tell you the truth, my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.  Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete”.

  John 16:23, 24.

This is the only name that the devil respects and fears. A prayer prayed in any other name has no potency to challenge the devil. Such prayers can easily be interrupted by the evil powers in the heavenlies.
