PRAYING BIBLICAL PRAYERS – PART 2
INTERCESSORY PRAYER PRINCIPLES
i -- Speak directly to YHVH - be more conscious that He is watching and listening than that others are watching and listening. This draws the hearts of those assembled to Adonai rather than to you.
ii -- Read specific Scriptures referring to the intervention of YHVH in the affairs of men and nations and translate them into urgent, passionate and heartfelt requests.
iii -- Lift specific promises of Scripture up to YHVH and ask for their fulfilment in our present-day context.
iv -- Pray the biblical prayers of the New Testament and apply them to our geographic region and our generation.
v -- Pray for specific aspects and arenas of ministry familiar to most people to be blessed with YHVH's presence and power - ask for an immediate increase of the Spirit's gifts, fruit and wisdom
vi -- Ask for a revival spirit to come upon our fellowship, our city, our nation and other
nations
vii -- As a general rule, concentrate on our immediate geographic area and fellowship, for we are providentially called to be {watchmen on the walls} of the place in which YHVH has chosen for us to reside.
viii -- Limit prayers to 3-5 minutes or less unless there is an extra-special anointing on your prayers
Things to Avoid that Scatter the Focus in Corporate Intercessory Prayer
* -- Praying for things that involve too many details, personal concerns, teaching content and issues that are not shared burdens of the group.
* -- Informing YHVH of the details of specific situations and circumstances.
* -- Informing other people concerning details of things that need to be changed, doctrinal insights, prescriptions of what you believe is needed.
* -- Devotional prayers that focus on your personal spiritual needs and longings.
* -- Requests for people and situations that others are not aware of and therefore may find it difficult to agree with you in prayer.
* -- Praying in such a manner that gives the feeling that you are teaching and/ or exhorting others.
Why Use Biblical Prayers?
1 -- They are YHVH's prayers. These are the prayers that we can count on. The prayers of Yeshua and the apostles [specifically Paul and John in the book of Revelation].
2 -- The victorious church theology is strongly developed in the Biblical prayers. YHVH put these prayers into the hearts of His servants to pray because He plans to answer them. [That the church might be filled with the fullness of YHVH,] -- Ephesians 3. Living in the atmosphere of those prayers will leave you with an unshakable conviction of a victorious church. The theology of the victorious church is in itself lodged in the prayers that burn in YHVH's heart.
3 -- The prayers contained in the Bible are a launching pad for more. Then the Spirit can take us anywhere He wants to take us. Ruach HaKodesh is not limited to any model. This is the foundation that we launch from. When we launch from the Word then all kinds of Ruach Kodesh activity comes with the safety net of the Word under us.
4 -- Almost every single prayer of the New Testament is for the church:
a -- The only prayer recorded in the New Testament for the lost is for Israel – Romans 10.
b -- The reason Asia was touched in Paul's day is because there was an anointed church in Ephesus. Adonai's strategy is to labour for the anointing of Ruach HaKodesh to be released on the church. An anointed church brings in the great harvest in power and in unity.
c -- When we pray for the church, we love the church. The tendency for an adversarial attitude towards the church is overcome by praying for it.
d -- Adonai cause us to pray for the church to be anointed. In the process we fall in love with the church and with the harvest that we pray in.
e -- We cannot keep a wrong spirit towards the church that we continually pray for.
5 -- Those prayers burn in YHVH's heart. They are guaranteed. They are already signed. They are just waiting for a co-signer on the earth. They are guaranteed. They are human friendly. They are designed for the way the human soul works. Even if we may not be conscious of it, human life is arranged around routines and patterns!
6 -- The biblical prayers do not represent the totality of Ruach HaKodesh's prayer ministry. This model is not the limitation, but it is the starting point. From there we can launch out into all of the creativity of Ruach HaKodesh as He leads us in different settings and in different ways.
7 -- We were made for these prayers and these prayers were designed for the human spirit. These prayers have great longevity in them. They will not wear out by using them.
Summary: The prayers in the New Testament are not a limitation. They are not prohibitive of other prayer models. It is the launching pad and the safety net. It is a safe place. YHVH is the ultimate Psychologist. He knows the human heart like nobody. The biblical prayers are [human friendly]. YHVH designed these prayers for weak and broken people to soar in YHVH and to enjoy unity with each other.
PRAYING BIBLICAL PRAYERS – PART 1
THREE GENERAL TYPES OF PRAYER:
A -- WORSHIP AND PERSONAL DEVOTION:
Worship declarations of adoration and thanksgiving, etc. to YHVH. Devotional prayer focusses on asking for Spiritual growth and Communion with YHVH and worship. This involves meditation on YHVH's Word, that turns YHVH's Word into conversation with Yeshua.
B -- PERSONAL PETITIONS:
Asking for circumstances in our life to change.
C -- INTERCESSORY WARFARE PRAYER:
Asking YHVH to release His blessing to touch others. This blessing includes spiritual and natural blessing. YHVH has ordained intercessory prayer as the means of releasing His sovereignty ordained blessing into a local area and into the individual lives of people. There are two different aspects of intercessory prayer:
1 -- Intercessory prayer for a city or a group of people: i.e. a city, a church, etc. -- 1 Thessalonians 3:10; Isaiah 62
2 -- Intercessory prayer for individuals: To pray for their salvation, healing, release of anointing or other personal needs, etc.: -- 2 Corinthians 1:11; Ephesians 6: 19; Philippians 1:19.
Biblical Intercessory Prayers
Ephesians 6:18 entreats us to pray [with all kinds of prayers]. This is just another type of prayer, but is ancient in origin. This is simply praying the written prayers of the Bible. Adonai’s Prayer was given to us by Yeshua as a framework for prayer, not as a chant to be recited. It is a more objective form of prayer, rather than adding our own stuff to prayer. It is praying in YHVH’s will as they are YHVH-breathed prayers and so originated with YHVH Himself. Isaiah 55:10-13; YHVH’s Word accomplishes things. This type of prayer has a positive focus, which makes it ideal for 24-hour worship and prayer as it provides a focus. We cannot travail for sustained periods of time. 24-hour worship is a Marathon, not a sprint. We will burn out if we try to go at a fast pace all the time.
Method:
A -- Select a biblical prayer [see the list below for examples].
B -- Read it out.
C -- Highlight a key phrase within it.
D -- Use that as the focus for prayer.
E -- You may even sing it if you wish!

Conspiracy thinking:
Anything good is bad.
Anything bad is worse.
Never believe your own eyes.
Choose not to live that way. Choose life.
For so the Lord spoke to me with mighty power and instructed me not to walk in the way of this people, saying, “You are not to say, ‘It is a conspiracy!’Regarding everything that this people call a conspiracy,And you are not to fear what they fear or be in dread of it. It is the Lord of armies whom you are to regard as holy.And He shall be your fear,And He shall be your dread. Isaiah 8:11-13
