Welcome to this teaching, I'm so excited to share this teaching with you.
This is part of this series “How to”.
We have looked at how to set people free, how to be led by the Holy Spirit, how to do
other things like speaking in tongues.
And now we are going to look at how to pray.
And this teaching is very important.
I would say, I tried this teaching, it has been the hardest to do to get recorded.
Why?
Because every time I recorded something came.
I tried three times.
This is the fourth time I'm trying to record this teaching because every time in the middle
of the recording, something goes wrong against it.
I know this is an important teaching and and this time it's a work in the name of Jesus.
I've been praying for that, and I hope you are ready to listen because this is very,
very important.
If you say but you talked about how to pray, Come on, I've been praying for years.
I'm an old Christian.
It doesn't matter if you new or you are old.
This teaching can help you.
This teaching can bless you and bring you into a very, very strong personal relationship
with God because we are going to look at pray, but not how to pray, only how to pray like
Jesus did it and how Jesus commanded us to do it.
And when we are going to look at how to pray like Jesus did or how he commands us to do
it, you will see that also when it comes to prayer life, we have been deceived like in
so many other ways, and of course, Satan will try to deceive us when it comes to prayer.
Why not?
He's a deceiver, and prayer is the secret, look at every revival in the world.
They are very different, but one thing is always common: prayer.
Look at every person being used by God strong, they are teaching different things that focus
on different things, but one thing is always common prayer.
Prayer is the secret and prayer doesn't have to be boring and and meanless and powerless,
no it can, it should be everything else than that.
So how to pray like Jesus did it?
I'm going to put that here.
How to pray like Jesus did?
And we are going to look at Jesus.
And in Luke 11, Jesus disciples asked Jesus: Jesus, teach us how to pray!
It is interesting, we do not find anywhere in the Bible that they ask Jesus: Teach us
how to heal the sick!
Teach us how to be led by the Holy Spirit!
Teach us how to share the gospel!
Teach us how to cast out demons!
Not that I don't believe Jesus was teaching disciples that, he was teaching his disciples
everything but the only place they actually asked directly, where it came from them, was:
Teach us how to pray!
Why?
Because they saw something unique in Jesus life when it comes to his prayer.
They wanted to learn from Jesus to pray the same way Jesus was praying and Jesus was teaching
them about prayer.
One thing he said to them, when he was, when they asked Jesus to pray and he was starting
to teach them to pray, was and this is in connection with the Lord's Prayer we are going
to look at, he said here: when you pray, do not use meaningless repetition as the gentiles
do for they think are being heard because of the many words.
So when you pray, do not use meaningless repetition, there is a difference between true prayer
and meaningless repetition.
I thought I was praying the Lord Prayer for years.
Why?
Because I learned it when I was younger, when I got confirmed in the Lutheran Church and
I prayed it on and off, sometimes in that period every day.
But it was just meaningless repetition and in Danish I can do it very fast.
I can try here.
That was the prayer in Danish!
Sometimes when I went to work, I was, I was working as a baker in middle of the night,
I was praying that, Oh Papa…And sometimes I needed to pray one times or three times,
because when I prayed two times, it meant bad luck.
It just show: I did not know God.
I did not know what prayer was.
I was what Jesus was talking about here I was coming with meaningless repetition like
the gentiles, or I was a gentile, like the sinners, I was a sinner.
So prayer is not, prayer is not meaningless repetition.
And I did that with the Lord's Prayer, but it doesn't mean that we should throw the Lord's
Prayer out, and this is sadly what many people do.
Many people like me take the Lord's Prayer like a meaningless repetition, just something
we do without thinking of it.
And therefore we, when we experience God, we throw it all away, throw Jesus words
away, out with the baby and the bathwater, out with everything.
No, Jesus gave us the Lord's Prayer, because it is powerful, because he's teaching us something
and we're going to look at that.
But prayer is not meaningless repetition, prayer is powerful.
Prayer is personal.
Prayer is, as I wrote here, personal, intimate and powerful.
Prayer is not meaningless repetition, but it is intimate, it is personal, it is powerful.
But for prayer to be personal, for prayer to be intimate, for prayer to be powerful,
You need to be born again, You need to know him.
You cannot have an intimate and a personal relationship with somebody you don't know.
And that was actually how it was with me.
I prayed the Lord's Prayer and there were times I'd like pray to God also.
But that was, I felt like there was something between me and God.
I felt like if God was there, he was far away, up in the stars some place and I could not
reach him.
I felt there was something between me and God, and there was: my sins.
My sins, because this is what Isaiah 59,1-2 is saying:
Behold, the LORD's hand is not shortened at all, that it cannot save; his ear dull with
deafness, that he cannot hear.
But it is your sins that makes a separation between you and God, your sins have hidden
his face so that he will not hear you.
Your sins have divided you from God so he will not or can not hear you!That was my experience.
That was my experience.
I was praying the Lord's Prayer as a meaningless repetition, and other times, I was also praying
for other things but he didn't hear me.
Why?
Because I was living in my sins.
The Lord's prayer was not like, the Lord's Prayer starts with our father or my father,
who's in heaven.
God was not my father.
I was the son of Satan instead.
Yes, we are all created by God and we all called creation.
But look at what Jesus said to the Pharisees.
You think that God is a father, but you have Satan as a father because you are doing your
father's will.
You are living in sin.
We need to be born again.
New creation, born into God's family, get the spirit of God that is crying out Abba,
father, the Abba father, our father is for those who are born again out of water and
spirit a new creation and not for sinners like I was.
Even I was in church, and sadly, many people in church are not truly born again.
And therefore, if you ask them: Tell me about your prayer life!
Yeah, I pray every morning, I pray every afternoon.
I pray every evening.
I pray every evening before I go to bed.
What is it, that they are praying?
meaningless repetition is just words, it's not personal.
It's not intimate.
It's not powerful.
It's just repetition of words again and again and again, and that is not prayer.
Prayer is personal, powerful and intimate, but as a said, you need to be born again for
you to experience it.
But even for us who are born again: There is something Jesus said, that I want to address
here.
He said: first, when you pray, don't be like the hypocrites were staying in the synagogue
and on the street corner to be seen by people.
They have already received their reward.
And then he said: But whenever you pray, go into a room, close the door.
So we need to pray, it is a personal, intimate thing.
I don't say, of course, we also pray in groups with other people, but prayer should be personal
and intimate.
I remember years ago I was on a Bible school where some people were with us from Russia.
Some people who was Russian speaking prayed in English, but some people who was Russians
prayed in Russian.
Those who prayed in English.
It was like I knew them much better than those who did not praying in English.
Why?
Because in the prayer fellowship we had, they open up the innermost being of themselves.
It was very intimate, not only for them and God but it was also intimate between us, because
prayer, you really reveal what is in your heart.
So prayer can be in community with others.
But it is also a place here where prayer is going and close your door.
Just a little funny thing before we move on.
In America, we often talk about the prayer closet and maybe you live in Europe had heard
that I was first time like, go into your prayer closet and I was thinking prayer closet didn't
make sense for a guy from Europe, because how can you be in a closet?
Why?
Because there is a big difference between closets in America and closet in Europe.
This is how a prayer closet can look like.
Look at the pictures there.
The prayer closet in America is like big room, you go in to, close the door and you can have
a nice place where you can pray.
But look at the closets in Europe, how they look like.
You don't want to pray there.
You cannot go into a closet in Europe.
It doesn't have to a prayer closet.
It can just be a room or bedroom or close your door.
You can also go for a walk, Jesus was walking and praying, just
spent alone time with God.
It is so important.
But then he said, what I actually want to come:
He said.
Go and close your door and pray to your father.
We are praying to our father.
And then he said: Pray to your father who is hidden, I am reading from Matthew 6,6,
pray to your father who is hidden and your father who sees from the hidden place will
reward you.
When we pray, we pray to our father who is hidden.
And this is important to understand: who is hidden.
God is not, where you go in and you see him face to face.
God is hidden, he's in the secret place.
This also translation.
Pray to God father in the secret place.
He is our father, but he's in the secret place.
He's hidden for us.
So I've had people say: yes, but I'm praying and and God, God doesn't speak to me.
If you expect to go into a room and pray and get an answer right away and see God face
to face, you will be disappointed, because God is not like that.
God is hidden, it is not like I go in and talk to my wife and open door and go in and
say: Hey, Lene, do you have more milk?
No.
Are you going to buy some milk?
Yes.
OK, see you.
Bye bye.
It's not like that with God.
God is hidden, but hidden doesn't mean that he's not there.
He sees us.
We read here: Those who are born again.
He's hidden for those who live in sin, but those who are born again, He's in the hidden
place.
But your father who sees from the hidden will reward you.
I had a time in my life where I woke up every morning early and I went for a prayer walk.
Every time the same day over a few months, and I was walking, I always thought my prayer
like God, God, I will go where you say: go, I will speak when you say: Speak God.
God, I will do what you say: Do.
God use me!
And that was my prayer.
Like morning after morning.
God.
God, I will go when you say: go.
God, I will speak when you say: Speak.
God, I will do what you say.
Do, God, use me.
That was my prayer, and I said that every morning for a month.
Not one morning, I felt like God, he really came.
And I felt he was hidden from me, but it did not mean that he did not hear me.
After a few months, I went to a meeting and there was a prophet who came and he started
the prophecies over people.
Then he came to me.
Do you mean it when you say I will go?
When you say go?
Do you mean it when you say I will speak, when you say speak?
Do you mean it, when you say you will do what God say: do?
Do you mean it that you want God to use you?
And he said the same thing like into my face.
Do you mean it?
Do you mean it?
Do you mean it?
And I stood there, cry.
Yes.
Yes.
I mean it, yes, God.
And it was a very, very powerful experience for me.
And a reminder I've always remembered: God hears.
God, he's hidden, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't hear us.
It doesn't mean that he doesn't see us.
And when we pray, he does it and we read here, he will reward us.
But It doesn't mean that he will reward us right away, sometimes it takes time for the
prayer and in my prayer life, it is not going in and pray: God, I need the answer about
this and this and this and God give the answer right away.
No, for me, it's often, I go and pray and I seek God and during the next weeks and months,
I see how the answers are coming.
So God is speaking from the hidden place, from this secret place.
So it's good to remember when it is: So keep praying.
Keep seeking God, he is hearing you.
We are going to look at, if we look at how Jesus was praying, Jesus, he did not only
just go in his prayer closet and closed the door.
He did what I love to do.
He went out in nature and prayed.
In beginning of Marc 1,45 we read here: In the morning while it was still very dark,
Jesus got up and went to a deserted place, and there he prayed.
So when it was still dark, Jesus went out very early to a deserted place where he prayed.
We can always find a time to pray if we want to.
And for some people, who have a busy day, wake up early in the morning, go out, be with
God in the morning, spent time with God.
When Jesus needed as the son of God to spend time with God, how much more do we need to
spend time with God?
Prayer is so important and we have no excuses.
And Jesus, there was times there were so many people around him that the people were even
laying outside the door, we read a place.
So Jesus woke up early and like left the place to be alone with his father.
We need to take time off to be with God.
Jesus spent time with God not only in the early in the morning, but he spent time and
sometimes even more time when he picked his disciples to 12.
He spent the whole night in prayer before he picked those 12.
How did Jesus pray?
We read here, that Jesus, he gave praise.
Jesus, he gave thanks in his prayer.
Jesus was also very emotional in his prayer like in the garden of gethsemane there.
He was so pressful, emotions came off.
He was, he felt to the ground and was laying there and praying.
It was not a nice, fine unpersonal prayer.
It was personal.
It was intimate, intimate.
It was powerful.
So Jesus went up early in the morning to pray.
Jesus often gave praise to God.
He gave thanks to God, and he was a very emotional thing, not fine prayers.
Give thanks to God.
Give praise to God.
Worship God in your prayer.
Worship with your words.
Oh, got a thank you, I thank you for this weekend.
I have done that this week.
God had favor this weekend, 40 people got baptized in water.
And you came with your Holy Spirit and people got set free and delivered.
Oh God, I thank you for this weekend and I praise you.
I thank you for what you're doing, God.
Give thanks and give praise to God.
Want him in your life, let it be personal, get to know God.
My prayer is not like prayer repetition as it was before.
God, did you see that, God?
It was beautiful.
Oh father, it is beautiful to see that.
God, I have a problem, what about this?
Oh God, I need your help there.
God help me.
What shall we do?
That is my prayer.
It's not like a mechanic thing.
It is sharing your heart with your father, being with him and say him what is inside
of your heart?
Everything.
Come on.
So give praise to God.
Also, if you use worship, sometimes put earplugs in when you go and pray and praise him.
Give him praise.
Give him thanks.
Be emotional and be real with him like Jesus did.
So I want to, I want us to look at the Lord`s prayer.
And I want to say before we look at the Lord's Prayer, you see that in Matthew and you see
that in Luke.
The Lord's Prayer, the problem with the Lord's Prayer is that many was like me.
It was meaningless repetition.
But then the problem is when we get born again, we almost dismiss the Lord's Prayer and we
say all those people who prayed the Lord's Prayer, they are weak.
They don't have a personal relationship with God.
Do you know that Jesus was teaching us the Lord's Prayer?
He was teaching us, it was his words.
Don`t say those who pray his words are weak and don't have a personal relationship with
God.
Did you know that the early apostles and early disciples who was living the first many years
all prayed the Lord's Prayer?
It was part of the prayer life.
Some people prayed it many times per day.
We read texts from people who were living at that time.
They had all prayed the Lord's Prayer, but they were not praying the Lord's Prayer as
a meaningless repetition because meaningless repetition is not prayer.
They were praying it from their heart, and it's not about the words you pray exactly
those words.
But it is verse we can pray exactly like this and make it personal and powerful, and we
should do that.
But you can also take the words behind it and the principle and put other words on it.
But in the Lord's Prayer, we see the gospel, we see the kingdom, we see so much more in
the Lord's Prayer.
For example: The Lord's Prayer start with God, it start with worshipping him.
It start with who God is and it start with his kingdom.
It start with God first before we look at anything else.
But if you look at prayer life in churches, how often do prayer start like this?
Some people never talked about the kingdom come in their prayer.
They talk about, oh, give me a new house and a new car and everyday life.
No, pray different, pray according to God's word instead.
So let us look at the Lord's Prayer.
What he said in the beginning and I wrote it down here so we can just take it: Our father
who is in heaven, hallowed be your name.
That is the first thing we see here.
Our father who is in heaven, hallowed be your name.
In the Lord's Prayer there is so much truth in these words.
First, we pray to God our father.
We don't pray to Buddha.
We don't pray to Krishna or we can go close, and we don't pray to Mary.
We don't pray to the Saints.
We pray to our father.
And I actually say it like that, of course, if you pray to Jesus, it is different than
praying to Mary and the Saints, don't pray to them at all but pray to your father.
Many people just pray Jesus, Jesus or Holy Spirit.
The Bible is not talking about that.
We come in the name of Jesus.
We go talk to Jesus.
We can talk to the Holy Spirit, all of it.
But the Bible is very clear: we pray to our father, our father.
That's why you have to be born again to be able to pray that.
If you don't have the spirit of God in you, you cannot pray that, that is not for everyone.
That is for us who can say: Abba father.
And that is what prayer is, he is our father, not our earthly father, our father who is
in heaven.
Abba father.
God wants to be your father.
He wants you to have a personal, intimate relationship with him, it's not like Allah
God, the Muslims are praying to, where there is nothing personal, nothing intimate.
No with God, It's a personal relationship to our father, Abba father, the spirit is
crying out Abba father.
He's our father.
He wants to be our father, he want you to know him, and when you come in to him and
come in prayers like: Oh father, Oh daddy, I don't pray in English, often I pray danish
because it's my languages, Oh father, I say father, daddy.
But he's also God at the same time, and that's why we continue hallowed be your name as a
reminder for us, that God he is our Abba father, but he is still God.
He is still holy.
Some people have a too common relation.
Oh, is my dad.
There is no respect.
There is no fear of God.
And I say when I pray in my prayer life, sometimes it's just Daddy.
Dad, oh.
Other times it is like: God, you are amazing.
It can be everything.
And we need it all, we need to be reminded who God is, that he is holy.
So we come in to our father, but we are reminded by through and through this prayer that he's
still holy.
When we say: God, holy be your name.
Do our prayer make God more holy?
Do our lack of praying this make God less holy?
God, he's holy no matter if you prayed or not prayed, your prayer will not change if
God is holy or not.
But why do we pray Holy, holy, be your name?
Holy be God's name?
Where? on Earth.
where? in heaven.
where? in our life.
God, holy be your name, holy, be your name.
And I'm representing you.
I'm the body of Christ here on Earth.
I'm representing God, his name should be holy, but we should also be holy.
And when you pray, holy be your name, it just bring that acknowledgement that God is holy
to you and it do that, I'm coming in front of a holy righteousness God.
Many people don't have that feeling when they pray.
And that's why it's so important if you start: God father.
I do in English sorry, dad.
Abba father, I love you, thank you, God.
Holy be your name, it brings you into a place where you are reminded that God, he is holy
and he is this and we need that so much.
So I wrote here: he is Abba father.
But he's still holy.
And we need to remember that he's our father.
But he's still holy.
That's why it is so important to have that as part of your prayer life.
And then we pray: Not my need be done and mine will be done and my thing what I need
in my life.
Yes, you pray for your personal needs, but your personal needs is coming further down
in the list.
You start praying: Your kingdom come.
Your kingdom come.
And then your will be done on Earth as it is in heaven, as it is in heaven.
Your kingdom come, your will be done.
We are praying God's kingdom come.
How many Christians are praying this?
Lord Jesus come, Jesus come, Jesus come, Lord Jesus come, come and establish your kingdom
here on Earth, come with your kingdom.
Jesus, I'm looking forward for your coming.
That should be our heart.
That should be our desire.
But many have never prayed like this.
But if you pray this: God, your kingdom come, your kingdom come, it will change.
It will get your focus away from this life in this world toward the kingdom.
And you start to also live for the kingdom inside that his kingdom is coming soon.
So prayer, remember prayer do not only prayer changes, also it do something in us when we
pray your kingdom come, it is doing something in us.
We get our focus on the right track.
Your kingdom come.
It's not only that God, Jesus is coming back and establish his kingdom here on earth.
But we read in the Bible in in Matthew 12: Jesus cast out demons and the people say:
No, with the power of satan he cast out demons.
It is with Beelzebub he cast out demons and Jesus answered them, and he said: No.
And then he said, But if this is by the spirit of God, that I drive our demons.
If this is with the Spirit of God, that I drive out demon, then the Kingdom of God have
come upon you.
So your kingdom come Is the Kingdom of Christ coming as in heaven down on earth.
But it is something, it is that kingdom that will come in the future, but it's also something
we can see now.
When people get healed, it is in heaven down on Earth, when people get set free from demons,
that is God's kingdom, when people are getting born again, that is God's kingdom that's coming
here on Earth already now.
But many people like me before, many people prayed and prayed the Lord`s prayer And when
they say: your kingdom come, they were not thinking of demons being driven out.
They had no idea what the words meant, meaningless repetition, no power.
It's not personal, but you can pray: it is God your kingdom come.
I have a kickstart this weekend now again, and I'm praying: God, your kingdom come, your
kingdom come, God.
Your will be done this weekend, God, I pray for your kingdom come.
What am I'm praying that the demons will be driven out, that people will get set free,
that people will get born again.
Your kingdom come.
But I also pray your will be done here on Earth, in heaven, at the meeting but also
in my personal life.
I want to obey God's will for my life, and I hope you want the same.
I want to be a good and faithful servant, one day to stay in front of Jesus Christ one
day and all is good.
But how can I know what God's will is?
Pray it!
God, your will be done in my life!
God, your will be done, reveal your will for me.
God, your will be done in my life.
God, I want to do your will.
When you pray this a daily thing: God your will be done in my life.
Your will be done.
God your kingdom come, God, I'm praying for your kingdom to come and your will be done
in my life, at the meeting, in the fellowship, in the church.
It is powerful.
It is powerful.
It is powerful, as we read there.
God's kingdom come God's power, I wrote here.
Kingdom come is God's power also, his will for your life.
Your will, God.
Jesus said: pray this prayer.
Are you praying that God's kingdom will come in your life and God will use you and that
his will will be done in your life?
This is what he has commanded us to pray.
And it is powerful, it is beautiful.
Then he continues here, give us each day our daily bread.
Give us our daily bread!
That was, what he prayed.
Give us our daily bread.
There is so more in this, first thing I've heard people say, Oh God, he's too busy, he's
too great.
I can not pray for my daily bread or my daily needs.
Jesus have commanded you to pray for your daily bread.
Daily bread, not praying for the bread for the whole year.
I pray every day for the needs.
I don't say you can not pray for a whole year, but but you need fresh manna every day, pray
every day!
Pray: God, give us what we need this day.
Give us our daily bread, God.
Give us what I need today, God.
God.
Spiritual and physical!
Give me mine.
Give us what we need, God!
Provide for me.
Provide for my family, God.
We pray for our daily needs today and our daily bread and what we need.
Jesus said.
Don't worry about food and clothes because God will take care of you and Jesus commanded
us to pray like this.
So don't say: God is too big to not care for your daily needs.
God wants you to pray like this.
He is interested, I wrote here.
Don't worry.
Bring your prayers in front of God and God is interested in your daily needs.
God is interested in your needs and this in what Jesus have commanded us to do.
Then after he said that and I will put it all together later, he said: Forgive us our
sins as we ourselves forgive everyone who has sinned against us, forgive us like we
forgive other, forgive us today.
God is holy.
We pray that.
And he wants us to confess our sins.
If you have something in your life, bring it to God.
I've heard some people say, no, you're forgiven for all sin past, present, future, saying
you never need to confess your sin again.
That is a heretic!
That is not biblical!
Read the Bible!
No, when you do sin, bring it to God, ask forgiveness and let him come with forgiveness.
And it's also a reminder of what you have done and that you need to stop doing it.
It is a reminder for yourself.
Confess your sins.
And pray this also and then say, as I forgive other.
Jesus said in other places, it's very clear.
This is a time to examine your heart.
It needs to be like that on a daily basis for us every day when we come in front of
God.
Prayer is the examination of our life.
God, forgive me my sins.
Do I have sins in my life?
Are there things I need to forgive, sorry, things I need to confess, Jesus?
Reveal my sins if there is anything!
And then you bring it to God and it is to keep your heart pure.
God, is there anyone I haven`t forgiven?
Are there people I need to forgive in my life?
Because if I have unforgiveness, how can I expect you to forgive me, if I can not forgive
other as Jesus is saying?
If you bring this into a prayer life, it would be so powerful, you will be holy as God is
holy walking in holiness, you will not go with sins for weeks, that is undone with,
you will deal with sin on a daily basis, if you do something wrong, you will bring it
and ask forgiveness and if you get hurt and we will get hurt in this life, there will
be people who speak bad about us and mistreat us, and it's so easy to open up for bitterness
and unforgiveness.
So when we have the Lord's Prayer: God, forgive me as I forgive other, is there anyone in
my life, I haven't forgiven God?
Reveal to me if I have any root of unforgiveness, any hurt.
Oh, God, oh God.
I pray for my enemies, I pray for those people who are persecuting me.
I'm praying for them.
God forgive them, God, set them free.
God, I'm praying for them.
Pray for your enemies, and then you end up loving them.
It is so powerful and Satan is a liar.
Satan has removed this from, especially from Pentecostal charismatic born-again churches
like the real church that are looking at the Lord's Prayer as something weak and meaningless.
Satan abused it.
Because for some people, it is meaningless, but don't throw the baby out with the bathwater,
don't go from one ditch from meaningless prayer to another ditch that you are never praying
the Lord's Prayer because that is a wrong prayer.
Jesus commanded us to pray and it doesn't have to be these words.
It's just a principle, it is the idea I wrote here: Live in the light.
Confess your sins.
Keep your heart pure.
If you just have this as a principle until now, we are praying to God our father but
every time we come in and pray to our father, we are reminded that his holy, holy be your
name, God.
Father, I love you, I thank you and holy be your name.
God, I'm praying for your kingdom to come, God.
God this weekend to the meeting, God in my life, your kingdom come.
Your will be done in my life, God.
God, let us see Your will be done, God.
God, I'm praying and you can use your own words.
Also, many words.
I'm praying for this and God, God thank you because you take care of our needs today and
God, I ask for forgiveness.
Have I sin in my life, God?
Reveal it to me and and God, have I unforgiveness, God?
Forgive me as I forgive other, Are there people I haven`t forgiven?
Reveal it to me.
What is this?
This is the gospel.
This is the gospel we have here.
This is so, so important.
And then he continued: Lead us not into temptation but free us from the evil one.
We need God to help us.
We need God to help us, we are in a war and we need to pray because we can go into temptation,
we can go wrong and we are sometimes in a war and we need to be aware of this war.
And we have given authority to pray.
God, lead us not into temptation, help us, guide us the right way for your name's sake.
Help us to not go the wrong way.
Help us not to be tempted, help us, help us not to be distracted, God, help us here, God,
and save us from the evil one.
Save us from those attacks and we can pray that.
I wrote here: we are in a war, so therefore stay close to God.
But it's not only for us.
We can also pray for other people.
I remember years ago we had three young people who came to faith at the same time in our
church, and suddenly they just disappeared after a few weeks and they didn't come anymore.
Me and my friend, who was the pastor there, we came together and we said: Let's pray and
we pray: God.
we pray for those people and we pray for them when we pray for this and this and this.
Satan leave her right now.
Leave her, every attack on them, on their mind, Go right now in the name of Jesus.
God, send them here, call them, draw them and call them and draw them.
And we were praying for them and we were going into a war, Using our prayer as a weapon.
What happened the same evening after praying a few hours or several hours?
Knocking at the door, open the door and that was the first guy.
I've been so surprised.
I've not seen him for a few weeks.
Hi.
Good to see you again.
Yeah, I just feel that I should come here, come in five minutes later.
Next guy.
Hi.
Hi.
Yeah, I just I really felt like I needed to come tonight.
All three came and none of them had spoken with each other.
We have been given a weapon and that is prayer, and we need to pray that we would not be led
into temptation.
But we can also pray for others, with that and help people staying together with them
in the prayer.
So we are in a war and we should pray this, and then some translation I have added, others
don't have it, King James and all to have this: for your is the kingdom and the power
and the glory forever amen.
For your is the kingdom.
It starts with a kingdom in the beginning here and ends with the kingdom, it is all
about a kingdom, for your is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever.
If you end up with a prayer with that, you will leave that prayer with faith, Hallelujah,
God is in control.
Why?
Because he is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever.
Amen.
Let it be.
Let it happen.
Let it stand firm in the name of Jesus.
This is powerful.
This is powerful and again, I encourage you like Jesus commanded us to do, Jesus commanded
us to do, he said: Pray like this.
Pray like this.
He commanded us to do it.
Pray.
I know some people say: Yeah, but you know, this is not a New Testament prayer, because
it's not written in the name of Jesus.
I don't agree with it.
I know it is.
I know it's different.
Some of the things when we have the spirit, there are so many prayers.
And Paul talked about prayer.
We see several prayers in the New Testament, but there is so many principles, so many beautiful
things in this.
Let's pray.
But it's not the only prayer Jesus told us to do.
He's saying in Luke 10,2: Many don't pray this: He said the harvest
is great, but the workers are few.
So therefor pray the Lord of the Harvest to send out workers, we should also pray that.
And I do that every day.
God the harvest is great, God, I pray, send out workers and send our workers to the harvest,
God.
God, I pray for the harvest is ready and plentiful, send out workers to the harvest in the name
of Jesus.
Jesus never commanded us to pray for the harvest to come in.
Most prayer meetings are about the harvest to come into the church.
What did Jesus words say instead?
Pray for the workers to be sent out.
Oh Jesus, I pray that you send out warriors from this place to the harvest.
When you pray this daily, God, send out workers, I guarantee you he will send out workers and
he will start with you.
Because when you pray a prayer like this, it gave you the right focus in life or send
out workers, send out workers God, the harvest is ready, the harvest is plentiful.
God, I pray that you send out workers, send out workers, send out workers.
When you pray that after a few days praying that when you stand up there out there, you
suddenly get, but I'm a worker, I need to go out myself and then you start to reach
out yourself.
So prayer transform not only, prayer transform not only other people, and it's not only something
God answer.
Prayer transform your life.
So this is what it is.
So prayer, let's start to pray like Jesus did it and have taught us to do.
Prayer is not meaningless repetition, prayer is personal, intimate and powerful.
We pray to our father who is in the hidden who's in the secret place, but it doesn't
mean that he doesn't hear us.
He hears us, he hears you, If you're born again, his sheep hears his voice and go both
ways.
Jesus went up early in the morning, find a way to pray.
Start early or evening or during the day also, give praise, give thanks, emotions, have relationship
with your father, then pray the Lord's Prayer.
You can pray like this: Our father who is in heaven, hallowed be thy
name.
You can pray like word for word, and it will be powerful if you think of the words.
And it doesn't have to be meaningless repetition to pray exactly as it is here, but you can
also get it into your prayer life when you pray.
Oh father, I thank you for this day, God.
Thank you, father, for everything you're doing.
Thank you.
You are amazing, I love you.
And just share your heart to your father and then holy be your name.
Your name be holy.
Oh, be holy in my life, be holy in my life, help me to be holy as you are holy and you
prayed from your heart and I pray: God, your kingdom come, let us see your kingdom come.
I'm longing to see you.
Your kingdom come here on Earth.
I'm longing to see you come back.
Come here.
Come and establish your kingdom here and your will be done in my life.
Your kingdom come in my life.
Let us see healing.
Let us see deliverance.
Let us let us see life's being changed.
Let us your kingdom come in my family.
Let me see your kingdom come on my workplace.
Let us see your will be done on my workplace.
Let us see your will be done in my life.
God, thank you for giving me my daily needs and what we need.
And you can pray for things.
God, we need a car.
The car broke down.
I got, I don't have money for the bills this month.
Help me, God, I thank you for the food.
Pray, let him take care of your needs.
Pray this prayer: God, and then look inside and a prayer: God, forgive me my sins.
Are there sins in my life?
Show me, what it is and and let me, forgive me as I forgive other.
God, is there anyone I haven`t forgiven, God?
Show me and show me who I haven't forgiven, God.
And I pray: lead me not in temptation.
Free me, lead me not in to temptation.
Free me from the evil one.
Lead me your way, the right way.
Let me go the straight, narrow path, let me walk by the Holy Spirit instead, God.
46,13 And you pray this: and your kingdom come,
God.
Hallelujah your power and glory forever and ever amen, God.
I love you.
I guarantee you if you pray this, it will transform.
Not only those people you are praying for but it will transform your life.
Don't let satan steal this prayer from you and believe is meaningless?
It is not, they are Jesus words.
And he has commanded us to pray like this.
So take this prayer and do it, make it be part of who you are.
One more thing here in the end: when Jesus was teaching his disciples in Luke 11 to pray,
he said this and I read from this translation I like this: ask and keep on asking and it
shall be given to you.
See and keep on seeking and you shall find, knock and keep on knocking and the door shall
be open.
This is the context it is written in, it is not just ask one time, seek one time and knock
one time Jesus in teaching us to pray, he said.
Keep doing it.
Keep doing it.
Not just pray one time.
Keep asking until you receive and you shall receive.
Keep seeking.
Keep seeking until you find and you shall find.
Keep knocking until the door will open.
And I guarantee you the door will open.
This is so, so important and this is what I see in my prayer life.
It's not just pray one time is keep doing it.
Keep asking.
Keep seeking.
Keep knocking.
Keep doing it.
Keep pressing through and you will see a breakthrough in your life.
So I hope you got something out of it.
So remember all of this and then keep doing it, keep seeking and keep praying.
Keep asking.
Keep knocking.
And I guarantee you the door will be open.
So I hope you got something out of this for me, it's it's just a beautiful reminder and
and I think everyone who has seen a teaching like this right away just want to pray the
Lord's Prayer.
This is like, Oh, I want to pray this prayer.
Don't let it just be now because you see this teaching and let this be part of your life.
Let this be a reminder.
Get it into your life so you daily are praying.
I know the early disciples and apostles, many of them is written, It's outside the Bible,
but if you study early Christianity, many of them was praying three times per day.
It was part of their life.
Try to imagine having time every day and just taking this time to come in and pray.
And I'm reminded of Jesus words here, you will live in holiness.
Hallelujah!
You have the fear of God in your life.
Hallelujah.
You will know God is your father and love you.
Hallelujah.
You will be focused on the kingdom that is coming.
Hallelujah.
You will see God's Kingdom right here on earth with healing and deliverance.
Hallelujah.
You will live a holy life and confess your sins.
Halleluia.
You have a pure heart and not have unforgiveness toward other people.
Hallelujah.
You received testimonies, in everyday life.
How God take care of your everyday life.
Hallelujah.
You will be transformed, if you pray this prayer, so make it be part of your life.
Do like Jesus early in the morning or wherever it is?
Close your door and pray also, let it be personal, intimate and powerful.
God bless you and see the other series in the teaching here.
And finally, we did this teaching without it broke down.
This is, as I said, third or fourth time, I try to do this teacher and every time things
just came and telephone or telephone call or light, things, noise or the neighbor was
making some noise.
But finally, we did this teaching.
I believe this is a very, very important teaching.
