禱告

Prayer means that we enter into God’s presence and touch His heart.
耶和華說,我所要作的事,豈可瞞著亞伯拉罕麼?(Genesis 18:17)
誰是敬畏耶和華的人?耶和華必指示他當選擇的道路。(Psalm 25:12)
Prayer requires that we deny our soul and take God’s will as ours.
我們在諸天之上的父,願你的名被尊為聖,(Matthew 6:9)
…然而不要照我的意思,只要照你的意思。(Matthew 26:39)
要為那咒詛你們的祝福,為那凌辱你們的禱告。(Luke 6:28)

Prayer is to express God’s will through our utterance to Him.
你禱告的時候,要進你的密室,關上門,禱告你在隱密中的父,你父在隱密中察看,必要報答你。(Matthew 6:6)
經上記著,“我的殿必稱為禱告的殿 (Matthew 21:13)

Prayer is a matter of God’s Spirit mingling with our spirit. Prayer also requires the understanding of a sober mind.
我們本不曉得當怎樣禱告,只是那靈親自用說不出來的歎息,為我們代求。(Romans 8:26)
我要用靈禱告,也要用心思禱告;(1 Cor 14:15)

Prayer is also a corporate matter for the Body of Christ.
凡你們在地上捆綁的,必是在諸天之上已經捆綁的;凡你們在地上釋放的,必是在諸天之上已經釋放的。(Matthew 18:18)
Prayer is more than a thing that we do. It is a living. May the Lord make us persons of prayer.
時時在靈裏禱告,... 在這事上儆醒,且為眾聖徒祈求(Eph. 6:18)
應當一無罣慮,只要凡事藉著禱告、祈求,帶著感謝...(Phil. 4:6)

你們要親近神,神就必親近你們。(James 4:8)
