THERE IS NO HUMAN BEING WHO KNOWS HOW TO PRAY! Did you know that?

And in like manner the Spirit also helpeth our infirmity: for we know not how to pray as we ought; but the Spirit himself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered; Romans 8:26 ASV

THE HOLY Spirit IS OUR PRAYER AGENT BEFORE GOD AND OUR TRANSLATOR (Romans 8:26).

HOWEVER, the Holy Spirit only represents the holy ones not the sinners (Romans 8:27).

The holy Spirit only translates the prayers of the holy ones not of the sinners!

Did you know that?

As such, our self-holiness is a daily requirement (1 Peter 1:15-16) because we need to pray to God every day of our life before we die.

Thus, Jesus does not hold any holiness wand to transform any one of us into a holy believer today, tomorrow, or at the end of the world, so that They can listen to us.

According to Luc 5:32, Jesus died for sinners to be able to become new holy creatures and He was risen on the first of the 7 sabbaths to seal and ensure our daily holiness upon confession of our sins before we die.

If you have been told that man can never be holy or if you do not believe that you or man can ever be holy, God never answered or will not answer your prayers, which answer is only possible through the intercession of His Holy Spirit who only works with the prayers of the holy believers.

Do not keep being dumb, according to Ephesians 5:17. We do have the ability to know what the will of God is if we meet all the requirements (John 14:21).

and he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints [HOLY ONES] according to the will of God. Romans 8:27 ASV

I desire therefore that the men pray in every place, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and disputing. 1 Timothy 2:8 ASV

NONE OF US KNOWS HOW TO PRAY (Romans 8:26)

NONE OF US KNOWS HOW TO PRAY (Romans 8:26) BUT the Holy Spirit works with the prayers of the believer who is holy not with the prayers of the believer who is a sinner, not with the prayers of the sinners and the Holy Spirit translates the prayers of the holy believer to the language of God (Romans 8:26-27).
Because we read in Luke 5:32 that Jesus died and was risen to bring sinners to repentance unto holiness (1 Peter 1:15-16), unto a new holy creature (2 Corinthians 5:17; Galatians 6:15), according to the religion of the Jews (Judaism) as it is written in John 4:22.
Again and again and again, John 4:22 implies that there is no salvation in Christianity, Catholicism and Protestantism, because modern apostate Christianity and Protestantism disagree (sin against) with Judaism in one or more doctrines or beliefs.
Mark 7:7-8 says that the worship of Christians and of Protestants are vain or worthless because those “Christian” religions are led by disguised messengers of light of Satan (2 Corinthians 11:13-15) and by their teachings which contradict the doctrines or beliefs of Judaism, the true and perfected religion of Jesus, His holy Prophets and His holy Apostles (John 5:39).
The Holy Spirit was given to the believers of the time of the Apostles who were judaized and who converted to (Messianic, Christian) Judaism (Acts 15, Galatians 2:14) and who were already keeping Saturday as the seventh day sabbath (rest), according to Acts 15:21
Therefore, because Christianity and Protestantism do not copy or follow Judaism 100%, they constitute mother and children, the Babylon of the Apocalypse.
Come out of Babylon (Revelation 18:4). 

HOLINESS
The Biblical Requirements
for Effective Prayers that Heal and Do Miracles: Be Holy and Echo unwavering belief with no doubt. John 9:31, 1 Peter 1:16, Isaiah 1:2-20, Mark 11:22-24, James 1:6, Matthew 21:22.

NOTE that the prayer model is NOT addressed to YAHWEH BUT TO THE NEW GOD THE FATHER OF JESUS

We may only pray to God the Father in the name of the Hebrew God Messiah (Christ) YAHWEH or JEHOVAH (the LORD) YEHOSHUA (Jesus).
Because GOD THE FATHER IS NOT JEHOVAH, according to Matthew 1:21, 25; Luke 2:11, 1:35; John 8:24, assuming that Jesus has revealed the meaning of those verses to you.

The ONLY Heavenly Being to whom we may pray to ask for remission of our sins is God the Father, not to the Apostles or to any other saints, not to any man, EVEN NOT TO JESUS but in His name, even though He also has the power to forgive sins (Matthew 9:6, Mark 2:10, Luke 5:24).

We pray to God the Father in the name of Jehovah God who is Jesus Christ the Lord (John 14:1-14), according to Matthew 1:21, Luke 1:35, 2:11, Titus 4:13, John 1:1-3, et cetera, according to the whole Bible (John 5:39).

Jesus is Jehovah God the Redeemer, the Savior God in flesh. Should we not recognize Jesus as Jehovah God, He cannot forgive our sins, He cannot save us (Matthew 10:32, Luke 12:8, John 8:24, Romans 10:9-11, Philippians 2:9-11).

Matthew 6:9-13 CESAIRE Literal Translation

(9) Then, thus, pray you:

Father! Of us, The One in the heavens, is holy the Name of You.

(10) Will come the kingdom of You. Is done the will of You, as in heaven and on land.

(11) The bread of us, the substance, you give to us today.

(12) And You remit to us the debts of us and as we remit to the debtors of us.

(13) And You do not carry us into trial but you will rescue us from the wicked.

GOD THE FATHER GAVE JESUS (GOD) TO DIE IN THE PLACE OF SINNERS FOR OUR SINS. HOWEVER, GOD THE FATHER DOES NOT LISTEN TO SINNERS. HENCE, WE MUST BE WITHOUT SINS FOR GOD TO HEAR OUR PRAYERS.

But we know that God does not hear sinful ones, but if anyone is God fearing, and does His will, He hears that one. John 9:31 LITV

Jesus explains the prayer model

Matthew 6:14-15 ASV
(14)  For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
(15)  But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

Pray without ceasing

I desire therefore that the men pray in every place, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and disputing. 1 Timothy 2:8 ASV

Pray without ceasing. 1 Thessalonians 5:17 DRB

Matthew 6:7 CLV

John 14:12-14 CLV

(12) Verily, verily, I am saying to you, he who is believing in Me, the works which I am doing he also will be doing, and greater than these will he be doing, for I am going to the Father."

(13) And whatever you should be requesting in My name, this I will be doing, that the Father should be glorified in the Son."

(14) If you should ever be requesting anything of Me in My name, this I will be doing."

WHY ARE OUR PRAYERS TO JESUS NOT ANSWERED?

There are specific conditions to be met for effective prayers, then (Isaiah 1:15-18) and still now (John 9:31).

We witnessed the most beautiful people overtaken by diseases and death even though we pray for them. Prayer failure is not the outcome that is promised when the elders of the church (synagogue) will pray for the sick among the believers in the church. It is written that the elders will pray, and Jesus will put the sick back on his or her feet! James also emphasizes that the prayer of faith can also forgive the sins of the sick of the church. James assumes that all the members of the church are in perfect harmony with the will of God (Jesus), free of doctrines or teachings of men. The churches or synagogues that are driven by mixed doctrines and teachings of men DO worship, but the worship is vain or pointless (Mark 7:7). Therefore, no effective prayers can be exhibited in such assemblies.

(14) Is any among you sick? Let him call the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.  (15)  And the prayer of faith will save those being sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he may have committed sin, it will be forgiven him. James 5:14-15 LITV

Mark 7:7 CLV

(7) Yet in vain are they revering Me, teaching for teachings the directions of men."

GOD DOES NOT LISTEN TO SINNERS

We know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and do his will, him he heareth. John 9:31 ASV

Step 1

REPENT and CONFESS ALL SINS FOR THEIR REMISSION

and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name unto all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.  Luke 24:47 ASV

Step 2

LEARN WHAT THE WILL OF GOD IS TO NOT SIN IN ANY WAY

Matthew 7:21-23 ASV
(21)  Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father who is in heaven.
(22)  Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy by thy name, and by thy name cast out demons, and by thy name do many mighty works?
(23)  And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Ephesians 5:14-17 ASV
(14) Wherefore he saith, Awake, thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall shine upon thee.
(15) Look therefore carefully how ye walk, not as unwise, but as wise;
(16) redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
(17) Wherefore be ye not foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

Step 3

WE BECOME HOLY WHEN WE KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS OF JESUS WHO THEN REVEALS HIMSELF TO US.

He that has My commandments and keeps them, it is that one who loves Me; and the one that loves Me shall be loved by My Father, and I shall love him and will reveal Myself to him.  (John 14:21 LITV)

GOD ONY LISTENS TO HOLY AND PERFECT (WITHOUT SIN) CHRISTACOLYTES. Isaiah 1:15-20My little children, I write these things to you so that you do not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.  1 John 2:1 LITV

WE MUST TAKE DOWN ALL BARRIERS TO ANSWER TO PRAYERS 

Isaiah 59:1-4 lists our barriers against answer to our prayers: the deeds of unrighteousness. The New Testament also emphasizes righteousness, and the necessity of FAITH for our prayers to be effectively answered. 

What is required for our prayers for healing to be effective? If we have faith to be healed, we, then, need a righteous person of faith who is filled with the Holy Spirit to pray for us so that we may be healed. The Apostles were moved by the Holy Spirit. 

Whoever lives in FULL harmony with Moses and the Prophets, according to Luke 16:29-31, and practice the new commandment of love (John 13:34) is filled with the Holy Spirit. The sick who is dying and dies can be filled of the Holy Spirit, and his bones can still hold the power of the Holy Spirit (2 Kings 14:21).

(1) Behold, Jehovah's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: (2) but your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, so that he will not hear. (3) For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue muttereth wickedness. (4) None sueth in righteousness, and none pleadeth in truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity. Isaiah 59:1-4 ASV

(26) And likewise the Spirit also joins in to help our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray as we ought, but the Spirit Himself intercedes on our behalf with groanings that cannot be uttered.  (27)  But the One searching the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because He petitions on behalf of the saints according to God. Romans 8:26-27 LITV

Matthew 6:8 CLV
(8) Do not, then, be like them, for aware is God, your Father, of what you have need before you request Him.

FIRST CONDITION FOR EFFECTIVE PRAYERS: PERFECTION, HOLINESS WHICH WE LOST IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN, WHICH GOD KEEPS REQUIRING FROM US SO THAT HIS GRACE CAN BE IMPARTED TO US.

Perfection or holiness is the ultimate condition for effective prayer: be free of transgression and of transgressors (Matthew 6:12) because God does not listen to sinners (John 9:31, Isaiah 1:15-20).

Leviticus 11:45 ASV
(45)  For I am Jehovah that brought you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.

1 Peter 1:16 ASV
(16)  because it is written, Ye shall be holy; for I am holy.

Matthew 6:14-15 CLV
(14) "For if you should be forgiving men their offenses, your heavenly Father also will be forgiving you. (15) Yet if you should not be forgiving men their offenses, neither will your Father be forgiving your offenses.

John 9:31 ASV
(31)  We know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and do his will, him he heareth.

Isaiah 1:15 ASV
(15)  And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you; yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.

SECOND CONDITION FOR EFFECTIVE PRAYERS: BREVITY 

We may not use useless repetitions because The Father already knows what we want.

Matthew 6:5-8 CLV

(5) "And whenever you may be praying, you shall not be as the hypocrites, for they are fond of standing in the synagogues and at the corners of the squares to be praying, so that they may appear to men. Verily, I am saying to you, They are collecting their wages!
(6) "Now you, whenever you may be praying, enter into your storeroom, and, locking your door, pray to your Father Who is in hiding, and your Father, Who is observing in hiding, will be paying you.
(7) Now, in praying, you should not use useless repetitions even as those of the nations. For they are supposing that they will be hearkened to in their loquacity.
(8) Do not, then, be like them, for aware is God, your Father, of what you have need before you request Him.

THIRD CONDITION FOR EFFECTIVE PRAYERS: FAITH

UNWAVERING FAITH (BELIEF, TRUST) is also one of the requirements for healing prayers to be effective.

(20) And when the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, How did the fig tree immediately wither away? (21) And Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do what is done to the fig tree, but even if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea, it shall be done. (22) And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. Matthew 21:20-22 ASV

FOURTH CONDITION FOR EFFECTIVE PRAYERS: RIGHTEOUSNESS

Even before the incarnation of YHWH God, it takes a 'righteous healer' (James 5:16) for the healing prayers to be effective. It is only after we become righteous [Thy will be done] (Matthew 6:10, 7:21, John 14:21) that Jesus invites us to 'come now and let us reason together' (Isaiah 1:15-18) so that He can free us of all evil which is upon us and He and God the Father can tabernacle in us and also listen to us, according to John 9:31 which says that 'God does not listen to sinners.'

(15) And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you; yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.  (16)  Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;  (17)  learn to do well; seek justice, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.  (18)  Come now, and let us reason together, saith Jehovah: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. Isaiah 1:15-18 ASV

FIFTH CONDITION FOR EFFECTIVE PRAYERS: UNWAVERING FAITH OF THE ONE SEEKING HELP OR HEALING (THE SICK)

It takes the 'faith to be healed' from the sick for healing from prayer to be effective. There is no limit on what we can ask us God the Father if we can ask for it with faith (belief, trust), without doubting (Matthew 21:21), even healing of terminal disease like cancer. The case studies of those to whom Jesus did heal according to their faith show that Jesus is pointing out that it is impossible for Him to deny whatever our faith asks for. Jesus acts as if He is just the Catalyst who makes the object of our faithful request happen. He acts as if He has nothing to do with our requests of faith with His usual refrain "YOUR FAITH (belief, trust) HAS' if not only obliged to comply with them.

Expression of unwavering faith astonishes and pleases Jesus because He feels discomposed that we fail to take advantage of the vast power of miracles we have at our fingertips if only we totally believe.

Are there other people outside of our churches or synagogues who exhibit faith to be healed and, like Paul, we can be sure of their unwavering faith, healing is to be performed for those believers also (Acts 14:8-11).

But Jesus turning and seeing her, said, Be of good courage, daughter; thy faith has healed thee. And the woman was healed from that hour. Matthew 9:22 Darby

Then Jesus answering said to her, O woman, thy faith is great. Be it to thee as thou desirest. And her daughter was healed from *that* hour. Matthew 15:28 Darby

And he said to her, Daughter, thy faith has healed thee; go in peace, and be well of thy scourge. Mark 5:34 Darby

And Jesus said to him, Go, thy faith has healed thee. And he saw immediately, and followed him in the way. Mark 10:52 Darby

And he said to her, Be of good courage, daughter; thy faith has healed thee; go in peace. Luke 8:48 Darby

And Jesus said to him, See: thy faith has healed thee. Luke 18:42 Darby

This man heard Paul speaking, who, fixing his eyes on him, and seeing that he had faith to be healed, Acts 14:9 Darby

SIXTH CONDITION FOR EFFECTIVE PRAYERS: THE PRAYING ELDER MUST BE RIGHTEOUS, SINLESS (HOLY), PERFECT

James rests the responsibility of healing of the sick of the assemblies on the shoulders of the elders of the churches (synagogues). Except that the elders must be righteous, that is, sinless, perfectly in accordance with Moses and the Prophets (Luke 16). Any assembly or elder who is lacking anything in Moses and the Prophets can never pray effectively for anyone to be healed. Mark 7:1-13 describes those assemblies who are engaged in teaching the doctrines and teachings of men instead of Moses but are worshiping God the Father in vain.

When we go pray for the sick, we usually let the door open for Jesus to make up His mind by concluding 'but according to your will'. That is not the kind of prayer that Jesus expects. Jesus wants us to brandish to Him the faith that makes Him comply with our requests (Matthew 21:21). What if the ones we are praying for genuinely believe in the powers of prayers, but we deny them of the objects of their faith because we are not righteous or we do not have unwavering faith? Healing is not outlandish even in the case of a terminal disease. (Alas! I can feel the waves of unbelief go through me while writing the preceding sentence about terminal disease). Hebrews 10:22-23. 

If we pray with faith but nothing happens, we must investigate our beliefs and behavior to see if there is some kind of belief or behavior that makes Jesus hide His face from us. James 2:10 suggests that we may not be missing out in anything in the Law or will of God (Jesus).

(14) Is any among you sick? Let him call the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. (15) And the prayer of faith will save those being sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he may have committed sin, it will be forgiven him. James 5:14-15 LITV

(22) Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.  (23) Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) Hebrews 10:22-23 KJV

SEVENTH CONDITION FOR EFFECTIVE PRAYERS: DO NOT ASK FOR OUTLANDISH AND MATERIAL THINGS

None of the ones whom Jesus praises because of their unwavering belief  came to Him for material things! We pray for our daily bread. No one came with unpaid bills requests, for justice, or other outlandish things. What does that tell us of what Jesus expects of His flock or fold?

Seek the kingdom of God first, according to Matthew 6:25-34, and we will get everything.

We are not to use the power of our prayers to show off as Satan wanted Jesus to in Matthew 4. Miracles do not convince the unbelievers. If the unbelievers genuinely believe, they will manifest their faith just as Paul could see it in others according to Acts 14:8-10 and was able to perform the miracle to make the crippled walk.

(24) And Jesus seeing him said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!  (25)  For it is easier for a camel to enter in through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.  (26)  And they that heard it said, Then who can be saved?  (27)  But he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.  (28)  And Peter said, Lo, we have left our own, and followed thee.  (29)  And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or wife, or brethren, or parents, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake,  (30)  who shall not receive manifold more in this time, and in the world to come eternal life. Luke 18:24-30 ASV

And the devil said unto him, If thou art the Son of God, command this stone that it become bread.  Luke 4:3 ASV

(10) And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence:  (10)  For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee:  (11)  And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.  (12)  And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. Luke 4:9-12 KJV

Rules for fasting

Put on a happy face

Matthew 6:16-18 DRB
(16)  And when you fast, be not as the hypocrites, sad. For they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Amen I say to you, they have received their reward.
(17)  But thou, when thou fastest anoint thy head, and wash thy face;
(18)  That thou appear not to men to fast, but to thy Father who is in secret: and thy Father who seeth in secret, will repay thee.

Matthew 10:7-8 MKJV

(7)  And as you go, proclaim, saying, The kingdom of Heaven is at hand.
(8)  Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. You have received freely, freely give.

Jesus of Nazareth in the First Commission of the Apostles
