Did You Know That There're Positions Of Prayer?



Prayer is so special in our lives. It can never be overemphasized. Jesus said '...men ought always to pray, and not faint'. Luke 18:1
People or Christians who don't pray have very little impact of the Word of God in their lives in a continual way. But if you want to see remarkable impact in your life, then prayer is the beginning . 

What is prayer? 
                     Prayer is really more of a fellowship than it is a request. It is a 
                     communion with the Father in the Name of Jesus and by the power of
                     the Holy Spirit.
The different positions you assume when you pray are important. So let's take a look at the different prayer positions..

* Lying on your bed to pray is one of the positions of prayer: When you lie on your bed to pray, it’s meditative. You’re likely going to start out praying in tongues, because there’s a lot that can come through your spirit, such as worship; you find that you’re worshiping and praising the Lord upon your bed, like the Bible says, “Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds” (Psalm 149:5). You can really be stirred on your bed as you pray like that, with the anointing welling up and overwhelming you. Before long, you might soon bounce off
the bed and start pacing the floor.

*Then, there’s kneeling down to pray: When you want to pray on your knees, it’s important that you’re specific and clear as to the things you want to pray about. In Ephesians 3:14-15, Paul said, “For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ...” ; and he clearly enumerated the things he wanted to pray about.

*Finally, there’s the standing position: Jesus said, “And when ye stand praying, forgive...” (Mark 11:25); why? It’s because when you stand to pray, it’s often a prayer of faith that proceeds from your mouth; you start making decrees! However, the Master was quick to caution that you don’t harbor unforgiveness against anyone; you must walk in love, so your prayer will be effective. He wants your prayer life to be effective. In studying the Word, you’ll learn more on positions of prayer.
God wants us to continue in prayer. As long as there’s one sinner in the world, we must keep praying. As long as the rapture of the Church hasn’t taken place, we’ve got to pray. Prayer is a heavenly ministry; it’s part of our priestly ministry as believers; always take it seriously.

Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving (Colossians 4:2). God bless you as you read.
