Interestingly,
Jesus never condemned short prayers,

But in more than one place in the
Bible he condemned Pretendiousness He

said to the Pharisees ‘You are prolonging prayers’

So we have a record of his denunciation of fake and long
Prayers

There are some friends You

want him to pray for a meal The

event is over The

meal will be cold

You know such friends

We call it Marco Polo

Pray for everyone in Timbaktu Pray for everyone in Timbaktu Pray for those on Doremi

Island

Pray for those around the world

Finally thank God for the food

By the way, your face is already in the soup

And

they think they’re impressive They think you’re
amazed by their Faith

Most of the time
Long prayers It’s done when you’re alone In

public, prayers are short. Somewhere in the

mall,

I see the frustration of those who meet me and say Pastor Prince can you pray for me

Sometimes
I put my hand on your shoulders

For a woman or a man, whichever is right

I believe in praying by putting your hand up
But obey

I pray daily

‘Father, heal this person from this disease in Jesus name

‘ ‘We root out this disease’

‘In the name of Jesus. Finished. Amen’

Afterwards, they’re still waiting

I’ll poke them with my hand

They’re disappointed They do

n’t say but I can
see

Is that all?

Is that it?

The prayer that stands out most with the influence of Jesus is

When Lazarus was resurrected from his tomb

Jesus Raising his eyes to the sky,
Jesus said:

“Father“…

By the way, look at his length

“Father,
I thank You for hearing me.

I knew you always heard me.“

How tall is it?

For a few seconds

And he looked at the tomb and called,

“Lazarus, come out!”

By the way, its Hebrew,
So the Aramaic word spoken at that time is

even shorter

Kumi

One word,

all the prayers of Jesus are short

The hard prayer should be heavy, pray hard, well,

I’ll tell you this

, whether you pray hard or pray lightly, it’s
not

you. It’s what you pray for.

It’s an incredible thing

that gives.

The most powerful prayers Healed

people from cancers The

ones I prayed calmly I

‘m not saying it makes a difference to pray calmly or slowly I

say

it’s the LORD I say It’s the Lord who loves us and gave his life for us It’s the Father who sent his Son for us The one who
answers our prayers I say

Pray soundly
I understand what you mean

I’m wondering. ;
Do you understand?

The healer is not the supremacy of your prayer It

is the LORD who heals

Amen

Strongly pray

As if he

is going to stifle and give birth Praying has its place Of course it is

necessary

in spiritual struggle It is not the spiritual struggle I am talking about here I am

simply talking about asking from God

Things we prayed most of the time

Amen In

Mt 6 in the Bible
Jesus said

“ Don’t be like them! “

As we’ve just seen, on

what grounds did Pek say that?
Let’s look at the previous verse,

“When you pray
, do not be like the Hypocrites.”

“They take pleasure in standing in the

synagogues and on the corners of the streets
and praying so that everyone can see them.”

“I tell you the truth,
they have received their reward.”

“But when you pray, go to your

inner room. withdraw
and shut the door and pray to your Father in secret.”

“Your Father, who sees what is done in secrecy,
will reward you.”

Does he reward you in secret

No

He rewards you openly

Openly

“When you pray,
don’t repeat empty words like pagans.

“…
don’t repeat empty words like the pagans. “

“They
think they can make their voices heard with a multitude of words.”

Like our friend Marco Polo…
One who prays for a long time May

be a little sincere at the moment

Maybe he thinks that if he prays long, the
Lord thinks he will have to answer

Look, my God, I prayed so much
You can do something now

.

Let me tell you,
God has given

us the most precious gift in the universe without anyone asking, He has already given us the most precious gift in the universe

He was the most precious gift The

most precious blessing

If you think God has to be Persuaded to give you something If you

think

God is there with his arms
folded and waiting

Come on let’s get some more
Persuasion Maybe

I think I’m a little convinced. My
heart softens. What

Hey, this could be your school principal.
Not God.

Maybe it’s your grandfather’s behavior
. Not God’s.

Maybe it’s your mother-in-law, but
not God.

Are you listening?

Don’t put your own ideas on God When the

world doesn’t care
He gave his son

No one persuaded God to send his son
with prayer

Are you listening?
This is a great God.

And here he says;
“When you pray, don’t keep repeating empty words like the pagans.”

“They think they can make their voices heard with a multitude of words.

“Don’t be like them!”

“Because your Father … knows.”

Keep your prayers simple.

Be sincere.

Let go of this falsehood. Whatever is in

my life, unknown quirks and Your

Supreme grace and everything
else With the

highest expression of Your compassion, who knows and is
forever… ..

No,

come to God and say;

Father, I need your help

I don’t know what’s happening to my son
But I know

that you hold back and say

I know you
love my evald more than I can love I lay my

hands on you

And in the name of
Jesus I ask You Lord God

heal my son
