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.
