In Isaiah, chapter fifty-six, verse seven, “Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.” An essential and central component of God’s house of prayer. God desires to enter into ultimate fellowship with His people through fervent communion, praise, petition, intercession, and contemplation. Jesus cited this verse when He drove the money changers out of God’s temple.
“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land,” as in Second Chronicles seven, verse fourteen. The church is the people, and the house of prayer is the temple that is within the believer. This is where the spirit inside the servant or saint connects to God through Jesus Christ, the Son of God, from those who receive Him through salvation. The proper way to start is Heavenly Father, I come to you in Jesus’ name, and begin praying.
For believers, those who are filled with the heavenly language by the Holy Spirit, should be using it more than their regular language. The devil will attempt, against most believers who pray, to spiritually fight against it because our prayers go up as a memorial, as in Revelation eight, verses three through five. “And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.
And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel’s hand.
And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.
However, those who pray and not yet filled with God’s Spirit, the Holy Spirit, can still be effective when they pray. Hannah prayed with her mouth moving, but the voice not heard. God hears the prayers of His people from their hearts. Although the evil one cannot hear it, God knows the heart and what is coming silently from them. The more we pray to God, the more we come to know Him.
