5 Minute Prayer School034 - Yielding To The Spirit Of Prayer“For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.”
(Rom 8:14 AMP)
As we have considered in earlier modules [Mod 2: Doctrine: The Doctrine of the Holy Spirit], the Holy Spirit is a Person; the third Person of the Godhead. He is not a feeling or an impersonal influence or power. He is very God!
As we develop faith through the knowledge of this truth and the Scriptures concerning His present ministry in and to the saints we realise that we have absolute ground to expect clear leading in all things from Him.
Just as we looked at C...2015-02-2706 min
5 Minute Prayer School033 - Form Without PowerForm without power
Formalistic prayers, even when based on the divinely inspired words of God, minister nothing but death. Words alone are not enough, they must be baptised with the fire of God’s Spirit.
Lynne Hammond says in ‘The Master is Calling’:
“Please understand, I am a Word person. I love the Word of God. But if you try to apply that Word without fellowshipping with the Person and Spirit of God Himself, your life and your prayers will be dry and powerless. That’s because it is the Holy Spirit who quickens the Word to you. It’s God Himself...2015-02-2606 min
5 Minute Prayer School032 - The Spirit Of PrayerOur great need in this day is not professional pray-ers, but men and women filled with the Spirit of prayer.
As we have just established, our prayer life flows from the heart of Christ our Head. We are one spirit with Him and we are moved with the rivers that flow from His heart. His heart overflows with compassion for the world, and through our willing co-operation, His hunger can be satisfied as we birth souls into His Kingdom through earnest intercession on their behalf.
Jesus said in John 7:38-39 that rivers of living water would flow from our inner...2015-02-2504 min
5 Minute Prayer School031 - The High Priestly Ministry of ChristThe High Priestly ministry of Christ
Christ right now is in intercession. His entire being speaks on behalf of mankind at the right hand of the Father.
“For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:” (Heb 9:24 KJV)
“Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.” (Rom 8:34 KJV)

5 Minute Prayer School030 - Holy PartnershipWilford H Reidt wrote:
“Jesus came to bridge the gap between God and sinful man. Man needed someone to stand in the gap so He could get back to God. Man needed an Intercessor. Jesus’ sacrifice established Him as the only fully trustworthy Intercessor for mankind. He is the only Intercessor for the people of this planet.”
Quoted from ‘The Art of Prayer’ by Kenneth E Hagin
Jesus is our Intercessor. His intercession provided salvation for all men through His substitutionary sacrifice on the cross, but it is only realised through His Intercessory ministry today in Heaven. God’s desire is that all...2015-02-2304 min
5 Minute Prayer School029 - Christ Our IntercessorJob expressed the universal need of mankind when he cried:
“For [God] is not a [mere] man, as I am, that I should answer Him, that we should come together in court. There is no umpire (days-man, one who argues) between us, who might lay his hand upon us both, [would that there were!]” (Job 9:32-33 AMP)
Job needed an advocate to stand between him and God to plead his case. He knew that no ordinary man could do this as they would need a days-man of their own. All are guilty and condemned before a holy and righteous Judge.
God...2015-02-2205 min
5 Minute Prayer School028 Entrance To The Heart Of GodOn no other subject do I feel more inadequate to express or even begin to formulate words that will do justice to the need, importance and privilege we have been given. It seems presumptuous to even talk about the kinds of prayer etc without saying clearly to the reader, I am as hungry as any to learn from Christ what it is to really pray! My heartfelt yearning is that these sessions will carry something of the Spirit of prayer, and impart not a hunger for man’s instruction, but a hunger for the instruction of the Holy Ghost who wi...2015-02-2104 min
5 Minute Prayer School027 - Cultivating An Environment For PrayerRegarding this area, just as a regular time is helpful, it is beneficial to have a regular place to pray. It allows the disciple to concentrate more fully because the environment is familiar, therefore less likely to distract. Also, the continued practice of prayer and the practice of the presence of God can open the heavens over a particular place making access to and from the spiritual realm easier. For example, it can be much easier to connect with God and focus your attention on prayer in a dedicated room of your own home, than to engage with God on...2015-02-2005 min
5 Minute Prayer School026 - The Place of PrayerThe place of prayer
There is no place where prayer may or may not be made. We do not have to face a certain direction, or be in a holy ‘building’ to pray. As with posture being one of humility and faith of the heart rather than position of the body, so the place is ‘in the spirit’, not a physical location. Pastor Andy Elmes of Family church, Portsmouth, relates it this way. He says that the ‘secret place’ is not a location, but a desire of the heart. The hungry heart will always find somewhere to pray and fellowship with God. Th...2015-02-1905 min
5 Minute Prayer School025 - Set Times of PrayerThe Scriptures reveal that men of God and Jesus Himself (our ultimate example of the life of prayer) observed set times and seasons of prayer. The believer may pray at set times or at any time, and should seek to cultivate and maintain a spirit or attitude of prayer at all times.
This attitude of heart constitutes the life of prayer, which when yielded to, results in both spontaneous expression, and habitual fellowship and intercession.
i. Some saints prayed three times a day (morning, afternoon and evening) (Daniel 6:10; Psalm 55:16-17)
ii. Some prayed at other set times or seasons (Acts 3:1...2015-02-1805 min
5 Minute Prayer School024 - The Currency Of IntimacyThe currency of intimacy = TIME
The currency of intimacy is ‘time’. If a husband never spends time with his wife, it is unlikely that intimacy will ever develop between them; the opposite is true, what intimacy does exist diminishes as the situation continues. Time is an essential ingredient in any healthy relationship. This is immediately applicable to prayer.
If time is the currency of intimacy, and is a currency that can only ever be spent (it can not be gained or replaced, once it is spent it is spent forever), it is a currency of utmost value. There is not one...2015-02-1704 min
5 Minute Prayer School023 - A Lifestyle of PrayerIn respect to establishing a lifestyle of prayer however, set times can aid the development of a discipline, which quickly will become a delight! If we pray only when we ‘feel’ like it, the unfortunate truth is, we will often ‘feel’ more like an extra hours sleep, or a session in front of the TV, than a time set apart to seek God. Jesus said to His disciples the following statement which to varying degrees is certainly true of all of us:
“Then He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “What! Could you not watch with M...2015-02-1605 min
5 Minute Prayer School021 - Time, Place & Posture In PrayerTime, place and posture in prayer
Some things seem obvious or unnecessary to consider, but for some, scriptural teaching on the basics can release them from traditions and religious habits that have prevented them enjoying the liberty we have been granted in the Holy Ghost.
“Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.”
(2 Corinthians 3:17 NKJV)
First, we will look at posture.
a. Posture in prayer
The posture of the body is of little importance in prayer. Certainly one does not have to kneel or place one’s hands together in order to pra...2015-02-1505 min
5 Minute Prayer School022 - The Right Time To PrayThe time of prayer
Unlike Islam and some other religions Christianity does not necessarily have particular times which are commanded for prayer or spiritual activity. Even adherence to the set times of Judaism, the old covenant which formed the basis of the new, is no longer required from the faithful. The Old Testament, with its types and shadows found completion and fulfilment in Christ. He ushered in a new covenant, based not on law, but grace and freedom.
Of this truth Paul says:
“But now after you have known God, or rather are known by God, how is it that yo...2015-02-1404 min
5 Minute Prayer School020 - With ThanksgivingWith thanksgiving
“Continue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it with thanksgiving;”
(Col 4:2 NKJV)
Faith and thanksgiving go hand in hand. A thankful heart is a heart certain that its requests have been heard and that their gracious Father is active to bring it to pass. If we know something has been granted, we will automatically give thanks. Doubt and fear keep us in a place where we are unthankful, believing that our Father is withholding from us. In reality, although there may be hindrances to the manifestation of your answer, they are not found with God. In fact, your than...2015-02-1305 min
5 Minute Prayer School019 - Simplicity And SincerityWith simplicity and sincerity
““And when you come before God, don’t turn that into a theatrical production either. All these people making a regular show out of their prayers, hoping for stardom! Do you think God sits in a box seat? “Here’s what I want you to do: Find a quiet, secluded place so you won’t be tempted to role-play before God. Just be there as simply and honestly as you can manage. The focus will shift from you to God, and you will begin to sense his grace.

5 Minute Prayer School018 - The Will, Word and Promise Of GodAll prayer should have the will, Word and promise of God as its basis
“Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.” (1 John 5:14-15 NKJV)
The foundation of faith is found in the knowledge of God’s will. His Word is His will. When our prayers are based on the revealed Word of God we have great confidence to pursue our goal withou...2015-02-1106 min
5 Minute Prayer School017 - Faith Filled PrayerAll prayer should be prayers of faith
“But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” (Hebrews 11:6 NKJV)
The Bible speaks of a specific kind of prayer which most often is called the ‘prayer of faith’, but all prayer should have this essential ingredient in its exercise. Without faith we cannot please God. Every form of prayer should be from a heart fully trusting the One to whom the prayer is addressed, eagerly expecting the desired result as promi...2015-02-1005 min
5 Minute Prayer School016 - Praying In The SpiritPrayer should be ‘in the Spirit’
“praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints—” (Ephesians 6:18 NKJV)
Although the scriptures refer specifically to praying in tongues as praying ‘in the spirit’, more generally it refers to all prayer. God is a Spirit (John 4:24) and must be addressed as such. All truly effective prayer proceeds from the heart (the spirit) of man, not the head. Intelligence is involved, but a purely ‘mental’ prayer will not affect the spiritual world at all. Our mind may conceive the request we desire...2015-02-0904 min
5 Minute Prayer School015 - Praying In The Name Of JesusPrayer should be in the name of Jesus.
We come not with our own authority, nor do we rely upon our own power or holiness, but upon the covenant name we have been given, the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. We do not pray to Jesus, we pray through Jesus, using the weight and authority of His inimitable name!
““And in that day you will ask Me nothing. Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you. Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will rece...2015-02-0805 min
5 Minute Prayer School014 Praying To The FatherCertain principles apply to all forms of prayer. In this section we will consider some general principles that are to be applied in our fellowship and partnership with God.
1. Prayer should generally be directed to the Father.
Fellowship with Jesus and the Holy Spirit are a part of prayer, but essentially our requests and petitions are to be presented to the Father Himself. “In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven” (Matthew 6:9)
Our father is more willing to answer, then we are to ask. Come boldly to the throne of grace.2015-02-0704 min
5 Minute Prayer School013 Jesus Our Example In PrayerJesus, our example
Throughout the scriptures we are blessed to have many examples of praying men and women; ones who prevailed with God. Of course our primary example is Jesus Christ Himself.
During the module we will look at both His teaching, and His example in prayer. The Scriptures make it abundantly clear that Jesus’ prayer life was striking and powerful. The disciples recognised it as the source of His peace and power and asked Him to train them.
It is important to remember also that Jesus laid aside the privileges of divinity, and chose to walk, operate and minister as...2015-02-0605 min
5 Minute Prayer School012 - Ask, Seek, KnockLevels of prayer
Scripture also shows us that there are different levels of prayer. We can engage in most of the kinds of prayer listed above, but with practice can move beyond immature exercise of the principles into a deeper and more mature expression.
Jesus Himself spoke of different ‘kinds’ or ‘levels’ of prayer when He said:
“Ask,
and it will be given to you;
seek,
and you will find;
knock,
and it will be opened to you.”
(Matt 7:7 NKJV)
Beyond this we will also be called upon to add fasting to our prayer, and at times enter into seasons of much more...2015-02-0505 min
5 Minute Prayer School011 - Different Kinds Of PrayerDifferent kinds of prayer include:
a. The prayer of commitment (casting cares upon the Lord) 1 Pet 5:7
b. The prayer of faith (prayer that changes things) Matt 21:22; Mk 11:24
c. The prayer of consecration (dedicating to God’s use) Luk 22:42
d. The prayer of praise and worship Luk 24:52-53; Acts 13:1-4
e. Soaking/waiting on God (Practicing His presence) Matt 11:28-30; Ps 27:14

k. Warfare prayer and authority Ex...2015-02-0408 min
5 Minute Prayer School010 - Two Major Distinctions In PrayerThe Bible also highlights two major distinctions in prayer that apply to all kinds of prayer, and must be developed by every disciple. Paul highlights them in:
1 Corinthians 14:14,15:
“For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful. What is the conclusion then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will also pray with the understanding. I will sing with the spirit, and I will also sing with the understanding.” (1Cor 14:14-15 NKJV)
“For if I pray in an [unknown] tongue, my spirit [by the Holy Spirit within me] prays, but my mind is unprod...2015-02-0306 min
5 Minute Prayer School009 - Burning HeartsThroughout the centuries men of God have often witnessed to the great need for fervency in the prayers of God’s people, and lamented the coldness and formality of what many call ‘prayer’. There is a great difference between ‘saying prayers’ and praying, as the following quotes will highlight.
“Prayer without fervency is no prayer; it is speaking, not praying. Lifeless prayer is no more prayer than a picture of a man is a man.” Richard Watson
“Incense can neither smell nor ascend without fire; no more can prayer unless it arises from spiritual warmth and fervency…cold, lifeless, and idle prayers are l...2015-02-0206 min
5 Minute Prayer School008 - Whatsoever Things Ye DesireIn Mark Chapter 11:22-25 Jesus speaks about the key part that desire in prayer plays to see the kind of results we are looking for.
We take the following definitions from Mary Alice Isleib’s chapter on the subject of fervency:
“Fervency means to pray with purpose, with serious intention.”
“To pray with fervency means to pray with intensity. It also means that you give your being to God, and you let Him fill it with divine yearning. Your degree of fervency is directly related to the degree of your spiritual desire.”
“When you pray with fervency, you pray the different ki...2015-02-0104 min
5 Minute Prayer School007 Fervency In Prayer“The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.” (James 5:16)
All prayer is to be fervent. The two ingredients of powerful prayer are effectiveness (precision and accuracy) and fervency. Both of these ingredients together bring results. James 5:17-18 describe how Elijah acted upon the Word of God (effectiveness according to principle and covenant) but added to this his own earnest (heartfelt, fervent, passionate) prayer. This brought results.
The Scripture tells us Elijah was a human being with a nature such as we have [with feelings, affections, and a constitution like ours]. The intimation is that if we exercise the same...2015-01-3005 min
5 Minute Prayer School006 Praying Effectively According To The WordThree Major Elements In Prayer - Effective, Fervent, Righteous
Two major elements are also outlined in Scripture concerning prayer, and both are essential to an effectual prayer life. They are spoken of clearly in James 5:16b:
“The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.” (James 5:16)
All prayer is to be effective. Effective Prayer will be conducted according the Biblical rules set out in the scriptures. Mary Alice Isleib says in her book, ‘Fervent, Effective Prayer’:
“When we talk about effectiveness, we’re talking about principles, standards, patterns , and rules from the Word. Effectiveness is praying according to the knowledge th...2015-01-2905 min
5 Minute Prayer School005 All Manner Of Prayer - The Tool Belt Of PrayerAll manner of prayer
Encompassed within the headings of “fellowship” and “participation” are what the Bible terms “all manner of prayer”.
“Pray at all times (on every occasion, in every season) in the Spirit, with all [manner of] prayer and entreaty. To that end keep alert and watch with strong purpose and perseverance, interceding in behalf of all the saints (God’s consecrated people).” (Ephesians 6:18 AMP)
To effectively engage in and develop a satisfying prayer life the disciple must progress in both realms, fellowship and task. In order to do this, God has placed at our disposal many ‘tools’ or principles which we ca...2015-01-2805 min

5 Minute Prayer School003 Two Realms Of PrayerTwo realms of prayer: Fellowship & Participation
Prayer, although vast in scope, can be broken down into two main categories. Pastor and Apostle Paul Y Cho calls them “Fellowship Prayer” and “Task Prayer”. Fellowship prayer centres upon our relationship with God, and comprises such arenas as praise and worship, confession of personal sin, adoration, seeking God’s face, soaking and practising God’s presence. Task prayer is engagement together with God in the spiritual work of the Kingdom, whether on a personal, local, national, international or global level.
Paul touches on these areas in his letter to the Corinthians, as the Amplified Bi...2015-01-2806 min

And these things we write to you that your joy may be full.” (1 John 1:3-4 NKJV)
Prayer, real prayer that is, not just saying praying spiritual sounding words, is an inexhaustible well of joy.2015-01-2805 min
5 Minute Prayer School001 The Priceless Privilege Of PrayerThere is no more amazing reality in the Christian life than the invitation that is extended to us as children of God to come into the presence of our Father in heaven, and present our requests to the Creator of the universe. Countless books have been written, the out-breathing of those whose hearts have been conquered by Christ’s love, and swept away by His intimate and inexorable fellowship. Beyond this there is the kingdom privilege of participation in God’s eternal purposes, partnering with Him to bring His kingdom to the earth, and ensure that His will is done in o...2014-12-1505 minSurf Splendor031 – Josh Martin and the Legacy of Martin ShapesJosh Martin discusses shaping surfboards, his father Terry, and the legacy of Martin Shapes with Hobie Surfboards.
