Prayer can be one of our most deceptive mediums and
Today many Christians have hidden agenda’s in their prayers—
We are not surprised when other religions prayer against Christianity
However, so many of us use our prayer to show that
Our denomination or church is correct—
We use prayer to benefit our needs to look good
In reality many saints’ prayers are not pure and
God desires honesty in our prayer life—
“…If you can find but one person who deals honestly and seeks the truth, I will forgive this city” Jeremiah 5:1

Today prayer meetings are ruined by long prayers
They are not direct and many play around with words
As a result these prayers are empty and use up unnecessary time—
The brothers and sisters should pray
Short direct prayers related to the condition
Brothers and Sisters should also be genuine and
Their words in the prayer meeting should be honest
Saints in a prayer meeting must learn to be real

Many prayers in a prayer meeting are not genuine
When some pray, they give the impression that
Some man should hear and be impressed by that pray
Prayer is not preaching; we want God to hear our prayer
In a prayer meeting, praying short prayers and genuinely
Should be the norm for the progression of a meeting

The Bible’s prayers are predominantly short
This will be a good pattern to follow
Many prayer meetings today are almost powerless
There are too many topics being prayed about and
The one accord found in Matthew 18 is nonexistent

Ten out of ten prayer meetings are ruined by long prayers
They are not direct and many play around with words
As a result these prayers are empty and use up unnecessary time

Let’s get our motives right when we pray—
Prayer can be one of our most deceptive mediums and
Today many Christians have hidden agenda’s in their prayers—
We are not surprised when other religions prayer against Christianity
However, so many of us use our prayer to show that
Our denomination or church is correct—
We use prayer to benefit our needs to look good
In reality many saints prayers are not pure and
God desires honesty in our prayer life—
“…If you can find but one person who deals honestly and seeks the truth, I will forgive this city” Jeremiah 5:1
