PRAYERS CAN BE IN ALL DIFFERENT LEVELS

Yes, prayers can be in all different levels. When we pray in silence, it is the lowest level of prayer. Praying not from our heart, it is like praying to an open space. It is absolutely nothing! When we pray from within our heart and out loud, it is a much higher level than a silent prayer. The next higher level is singing in tongues than praying out loud. Let’s see what is written in (NLT) Eph. 5:19, Then you will sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, making music to the Lord in your hearts. God loves to hear music and worshipping songs in His ears.

The next higher level is praying in tongues, it is a direct communication between God, the Power of the Holy Spirit and you. The enemy (Satan) can’t understand you at all while you are communicating with God. For example: Lets say you are praying in tongues saying, Kei, Keilana, Hala, Hala, Ketei, Usala-mala, Uchila, La kei, Mela, Hameila and etc. Would you be able to understand the meaning of this prayer? No! Of course not and also the enemy (Satan) would not be able to understand you at all. But God and the Power of the Holy Spirit would understand you perfectly clear. Many times by praying in English, Japanese, Chinese, German, Filipino, Korean and many other different languages, the enemy (Satan) will understand all languages too and he will try to block your prayer from going to God. Remember at the Babel Tower when everyone was speaking one language and God changed to all different languages so the people couldn’t understand each other. Well Satan was there too, so he understands all of these languages, except praying in tongues.

Pray with love within your heart, I truly believe God would want this very much. The greatest and the highest of all is JOY; the joy of the Lord is our strength within our life. When a person is full of joy within his or her heart, it means you also are full of love within yourself, toward others and to God. Satan doesn’t like it at all. He can only create fear to all of us, that’s what he is banking on. FEAR! So don’t worry about Satan and his demonic spirits followers, keep on being full of love and joy within your heart and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and the Power of the Holy Spirit. Amen!

Always, the worship team is very important within the church. Why? When the worship team sings the worship songs from their hearts, it usually draws in the Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit and the Angels into the church, which is very good. Remember, the worship team is not there to entertain you, but to draw in the Lord Jesus and the Power of the Holy Spirit into the church. That’s their calling in the church. When the worship team is singing the worship songs, close your eyes and open your heart to God and the Power of the Holy Spirit, you are giving God and the Holy Spirit full permission and control over you. Praise the Lord!

Now, the worship team leader must pray and ask God and the Power of the Holy Spirit to protect his or her worship teams against the wiles of the devil, by making a short prayer before the worship songs start. I call them the front line! Does it make sense to you so far?

The moral of this message for you, there are many different levels of prayers.
Which levels would you prefer?
