Oração
A oração é o fôlego da vida cristã. É conversa íntima com Deus, pedido de socorro, ação de graças e intercessão. Jesus ensinou seus discípulos a orar e praticou a oração constantemente.
O convite a orar
Jesus disse: pedi e recebereis, buscai e achareis, batei e abrir-se-vos-á. Deus convida seus filhos a orar com fé e persistência.
"Keep asking, and it will be given to you; keep seeking, and you will find; keep knocking, and it will be opened to you.
"Keep asking, and it will be given to you; keep seeking, and you will find; keep knocking, and it will be opened to you. For each one asking, receives; and the one seeking, finds; and to the one knocking it will be opened.
If you then, being evil, know to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in the heavens give good things to those who ask Him!
And anything whatever you may ask in the believing prayer, you will receive."
And anything whatever you may ask in the believing prayer, you will receive."
"So I say to you: ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. Because everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.
And then He told them a parable, the point being that one needs to always pray and not lose heart, saying: "There was a judge in a certain town who did not fear God nor regard man. But there was a widow in that town, and she kept coming to him, saying, ‘Get justice for me from my adversary.’ And for a while he refused; but afterward he said to himself, ‘Even though I don’t fear God nor regard man, yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will defend her, so that her endless coming doesn’t wear me out!’ "
Then the Lord said: "Hear what the unjust judge said. And will not God get justice for His elect who are crying out to Him day and night, indeed being patient with them? I tell you that He will get justice for them quickly. However, when the Son of the Man comes, will He actually find the faith on the earth?" faith’, referring to the sum of Truth that makes up the biblical Faith. The Lord’s question is precisely to the point. Aside from the generalized apostasy that characterizes ‘Christian’ churches today, how many ‘conservative’ pastors are genuinely committed to the objective authority of the biblical Text?
That is why I say to you, whatever things you ask for in prayer, believe that you receive, and you will have them.

Orar em nome de Jesus
Tudo o que pedirmos em nome de Jesus, Ele fará, para que o Pai seja glorificado no Filho. A oração em seu nome tem autoridade.
Further, whatever you (pl) may ask in my name, that I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
Further, whatever you (pl) may ask in my name, that I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in my name, I will do it!

If you abide in me and my sayings abide in you, you will ask whatever you desire and it will happen for you.
It was not you who chose me but I who chose you, and I appointed you so that you should go and produce fruit, and that your fruit should endure, so that whatever you may ask the Father in my name He may give you.
Until now you have not asked anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be made full.

A oração do modelo
Jesus ensinou a oração do Pai Nosso como modelo. Ela cobre adoração, submissão, provisão, perdão, proteção e louvor.
Therefore, you pray like this:
‘Our Father who is in the heavens,
let Your name be reverenced;
let Your kingdom come,
let Your will be done, on the earth just as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread;
and forgive us our debts,
as we also forgive our debtors.
And do not bring us into testing,
but rescue us from the evil one;
because Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.’
So He said to them: "Whenever you pray, say:
Our Father who is in the heavens,
your name must be reverenced.
Your Kingdom must come.
Your will must be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us day by day our daily bread.
Also, forgive us our sins,
because we also forgive everyone indebted to us.
And, do not lead us into testing,
but deliver us from the malignant one."
And whenever you pray do not be like the hypocrites; for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners, so that they may be seen by the people. Assuredly I say to you that they already have their reward.
But you, whenever you pray, go into your room, and having shut the door pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will repay you openly.

Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me. But He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more cheerfully about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may take up residence upon me.
Oração e perseverança
Persevere na oração. Mesmo quando parece que não há resposta, Deus está agindo. O que impossível aos homens é possível a Deus.
Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to the power that is working in us, us who are believing"—note that the verb is in the present tense; having believed yesterday won’t hack it, we must believe today. This tremendous power that God pours into us, as we believe, exceeds our powers of imagination. Well now, my personal horizon is limited and defined by my ability to imagine. Anything that I can’t imagine lies outside my horizon, and so obviously I won’t ask for it. I sadly confess that I have not yet arrived at a spiritual level where I can unleash this power—I have yet to make the truth in this verse work for me. But I understand that the truth affirmed here is literal, and I only hope that others will get there before I do (so I can learn from them), if I keep on delaying. The whole point of the exercise (verse 21) is for God to get glory [not for me to have a good time, although if I ever get there I will certainly have a great good time!], and to the extent that we do not put His power in us to work we are depriving Him of glory that He could and should have.

However, this class does not go out except by prayer and fasting." principality and power, etc., which includes Satan and all classes below him in rank—Ephesians 1:19-21, 2:6.
