PRAYING BIBLICAL PRAYERS – PART 2
WHY USE BIBLICAL PRAYERS?
i -- 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.
ii -- 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.
iii -- 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.
iv -- 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. Elohim'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 -- Elohim 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.
F -- 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!
G -- 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.
H -- 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.
EXAMPLE PRAYERS FOR THE CHURCH
1 -- Ephesians 1:16-19 -- I keep asking that YHVH of our Adonai Yeshua Moshiach, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know Him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which He has called you, the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints and His incomparably great power for us who believe. -- That YHVH may give us a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Yeshua. That the eyes of our heart may be enlightened, so that we may experience the fullness of YHVH's calling and might, understand the fullness of the glory of the Father's inheritance in the entire church in our area.

That each believer may be able to fully comprehend what is the breadth and length and height and depth of Yeshua’s Love for them and Yeshua's Love for His Father so that we might experience the fullness of YHVH's Spirit working in and through our lives and through each congregation in this area.
3 -- Colossians 1:9-11 -- For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you and asking YHVH to fill you with the knowledge of His Will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding. And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of Elohim and may please Him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of YHVH, being strengthened with all power according to His Glorious Might so that you may have great endurance and patience -- That each congregation and each believer might be filled with the knowledge of YHVH's will in each specific area of our lives and ministries and that YHVH would add spiritual wisdom and understanding to this knowledge so that we might fully please Elohim and bear good fruit in our ministries.
4 -- Philippians 4:19-20 -- And my YHVH will meet all your needs according to His Glorious Riches in Yeshua Moshiach. To our Elohim and Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen. -- That YHVH the Father would supply all the needs of the church according to His Riches in Glory and that the Grace of Adonai Yeshua might be powerfully manifest in the human spirit -- inner man -- of each believer.
5 -- Romans 15:5-6 -- May YHVH Who gives endurance and encouragement give you a spirit of unity among yourselves as you follow Yeshua Moshiach, so that with one heart and mouth you may glorify YHVH and Father of our Adonai Yeshua Moshiach. -- That YHVH may supernaturally grant the saints and the congregations of Elohim in this area the ability to be of one mind and one purpose with each other, that with one accord and one voice we may glorify YHVH in the church in this area. -- 1 Corinthians 1:10-12; Philippians. 1:27; Philippians. 2:1-3; John. 17:21-22
PRAYING BIBLICAL PRAYERS – PART 1
THREE GENERAL TYPES OF PRAYER:
1 -- WORSHIP AND PERSONAL DEVOTION:
Worship declarations of adoration and thanksgiving, etc. to YHVH. Devotional prayer focus on asking for spiritual growth and communion with YHVH and worship. This involves meditation on YHVH's Word, that turns His Word into conversation with Yeshua.
2 -- PERSONAL PETITIONS:
Asking for circumstances in our life to change.
3 -- 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:
A -- Intercessory prayer for a city or a group of people: i.e. a city, a church, etc. -- 1 Thessalonians 3:10; Isaiah 62
B -- 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.
4 – 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 Elohim-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.
BIBLICAL INTERCESSORY PRAYERS PRINCIPLES
A -- 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 Elohim rather than to you.
B -- 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.
C -- Lift specific promises of Scripture up to YHVH and ask for their fulfilment in our present-day context.
D -- Pray the biblical prayers of the New Testament and apply them to our geographic region and our generation.
E -- 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 Ruach HaKodesh's gifts, fruit and wisdom
F -- Ask for a revival spirit to come upon our fellowship – in this case TTN --, our city, our nation and other nations
G -- 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.
Method:
i -- Select a biblical prayer (see the list below for examples).
ii -- Read it out.
iii -- Highlight a key phrase within it.
iv -- Use that as the focus for prayer.
v -- You may even sing it if you wish!
THINGS TO AVOID THAT SCATTER THE FOCUS IN CORPORATE INTERCESSORY PRAYER:
a --Praying for things that involve too many details, personal concerns, teaching content and issues that are not shared burdens of the group.
b -- Informing YHVH of the details of specific situations and circumstances.
c -- Informing other people concerning details of things that need to be changed, doctrinal insights, prescriptions of what you believe is needed.
d -- Devotional prayers that focus on your personal spiritual needs and longings.
e -- Requests for people and situations that others are not aware of and therefore may find it difficult to agree with you in prayer.
f -- Praying in such a manner that gives the feeling that you are teaching and / or exhorting others
Say no to the sinful nature. Seek His will in all you do and walk in the Spirit.

HOLD ONTO YEHOVAH, O HOUSE OF ISRAEL!
Soon He will gather us unto our own land, and leave none of us any more here in exile.
Ezekiel 39:22-29 So the house of Israel shall know that I am the Lord their God from that day and forward.
"And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed against Me, therefore hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so fell they all by the sword.
According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done unto them, and hid My face from them.
Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Now will I bring again the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous for My holy name;
After that they have borne their shame, and all their trespasses whereby they have trespassed against Me, when they dwelt safely in their land, and none made them afraid.
When I have brought them again from the people, and gathered them out of their enemies' lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations;
Then shall they know that I am Yehovah their God, which caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them any more there.
Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord God". #daughtersofyah
"Then they that feared YEHOVAH spake often one to another: and YEHOVAH hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before Him for them that feared YEHOVAH, and that thought upon His name. Malachi 3:16 #daughtersofyah
