626. Paul\u2019s Way in Prayer<\/p>\n
Paul as a man of prayer is patent to the most casual reader of Scripture. Mark the characteristics of his praying.<\/p>\n
1. Powerful in Effect\u2014Act_16:25. The earthquake at Philippi and the soul-quake in the Philippian jailer were the result of the prayers in the inner prison.<\/p>\n
2. Sympathetic in Spirit\u2014Act_20:36. Paul\u2019s kindly heart, his human touch, his weeping eyes, his holy concern, all tell out his sympathetic spirit.<\/p>\n
3. Loving in Fellowship\u2014Act_21:5. He listens to what others have to say, and together they pray about the matter. Matters of difference are best settled on the knees of prayer.<\/p>\n
4. Identifying in Love\u2014Act_28:8. Paul\u2019s hands laid on the sick man show his whole-souledness in seeking the other\u2019s blessing. He identified himself with him.<\/p>\n
5. Continuous in Exercise. \u201cWithout ceasing\u201d Paul prayed (Rom_1:9). Persistency in prayer proves potentiality in petition. \u201cPraying always for you\u201d (Col_1:3, Col_1:9). \u201cNight and day\u201d (1Th_3:10; 2Ti_1:3).<\/p>\n
6. Intense in Purpose\u2014Rom_10:1. The soul of prayer is the prayer of the soul, and without soul it is only a lifeless form.<\/p>\n
7. Definite in Petition. \u201cI pray to God that ye do no evil\u201d (2Co_13:7). There was much evil in the Church at Corinth, and the best way to get it out was to pray it out, for prayer shuts the door on evil.<\/p>\n
8. Pointed in Application. Mark the three \u201cwhats\u201d which point Paul\u2019s prayer for the saints in Ephesus\u2014Eph_1:16-20; and the three \u201cthats\u201d for the Philippians\u2014Php_1:9, Php_1:10.<\/p>\n
9. Personal in Plea. Mark the \u201cyou\u2019s,\u201d \u201cyour\u2019s,\u201d and \u201cye\u201d in 1 Thessalonians 1. The saints called forth his thanks, and Paul did not hesitate to mention in detail to the Lord what was worthy of commendation.<\/p>\n
