Where Did Jesus Say We Should Pray? by Abbeytoy(m): 10:29am On Jan 16, 2022
We turn to prayer because it is the most personal way to experience God, to encounter Him and to grow in knowledge of Him. According to the book of Ephesians, God's desire is for us to pray “on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests” (Ephesians 6:18).

Now to the topic.
Does it matter where we pray?
Is prayer more answer at church than house?
Where's the best place to pray if you want your prayers to be answered?.

Please Bible verse will be appreciated with your answer.
Thanks

Read the Gospels to learn what Jesus Christ said, not the book of Ephesians. undecided

As for how to pray and where to pray, You should read Matthew 6 vs 1 - 15 for the answers you seek. According to Jesus Christ, you are meant to pray in hiding where no one can see or hear you praying - in your closet or anywhere where people cannot see or know that you are praying. undecided

The prayers you offer in your churches ,in full view of others are in disobedience of God's commandment aka sin against God. undecided

I think Jesus' statement there refers to praying from the heart/mind, from a conscious place of quietness. If you relate the human mind to an echo chamber, you'd realize it's usually a quite place until thoughts start to send vibrations and it just goes on and on till you can quite it again. I think in my opinion, that is what Christ is saying. Like praying in meditation.

For Jesus praying has just one single purpose:
For God's will to be done on earth! Matthew 6:10
This is so because Jesus is a perfect human whose personal NEEDS will always be met by his heavenly father, apart from FOOD, CLOTHING and SHELTER Jesus doesn't pray for anything else personally.

But for imperfect humans there are two purposes:
For God's will to take place on earth and our WANTS which are not basic necessities but individual heart desire.

So if we want to pray for what matters to Jesus (God's will) we must do so in the midst of other believers who also have the same line of thought and Jesus the number One child of God will be in our midst spiritually speaking to join us to support in DOING THE WILL OF HIS FATHER! Matthew 18:20

But when it comes to our personal desires each person will speak PRIVATELY to God {Matthew 6:6} since we have different things to ask unlike God's will that unites us as one with Jesus and his father! John 17:22

May you have PEACE! smiley

DO NOT PRAY LIKE THE PHARISEES FOR THEY PRAY TO BE SEEN BY MEN.

AS IN MATTHEW 5, I GO UP TO THE MOUNTAIN TOP SOLITARILY TO COMMUNE WITH MY FATHER WHO IS IN HEAVEN. THERE I TAUGHT YOU HOW TO PRAY.

GOD, MY FATHER IN HEAVEN IS SPIRIT AND YOU REACH HIM IN SPIRIT AND IN SECRET WHERE THE TWO OF YOU CAN OFFLOAD YOUR MINDS BOUNTIFULLY.

THIS PRINCIPLE IS PRESUPPORTED BY PSALM 4: 4-5.

CHURCHES ARE BAZAARS AND PLACES OF LEARNING FROM SPIRITUAL LEADERS ABOUT THE WAYS OF THE SPIRITS. THEY DO NOT REPLACE YOUR PERSONAL HOPE, POWERS AND MIGHT.

So in order words, rather than do as Jesus Christ asks you to do - trust and obey Him - you would rather arrogantly believe your Pastors and mogs know better than Jesus Christ in matters that concern his very Kingdom?, undecided

Jesus Christ gave those simple and straightforward commandments to a crowd of mostly uneducated laymen who He called on to become His followers by it. He even used illustrations to show how the standard He calls on them to abide by are complete departure from the pharisee-ic way of reasoning things which put the arrogance of men before God. Yet, here you are attempting as the Pharisees did, to basically explain what Jesus Christ said, in plain speak by the way, away so you can continue as you always have, and for what reason? undecided

Jesus Christ said you should pray in secret, do your good deeds in secret, etc., and He said those who do as He asks are His friends- John 15 vs 14. Are you really that bent on being His enemy instead? undecided

So why do we go to church when you said the church prayer is sinful?

Look, Jesus Christ never asked any man to build for him churches, nor did he ask anyone to attend any of these churches. undecided

Jesus Christ instead said that He will build His own Church- by His own hands. Your churches are instead social businesses set up by Pastors and Mogs for the glory of their individual kingdoms here on earth. undecided
