 Prayer changes according to how you understand the Gospel. Therefore, how you pray is tied with the color of the Gospel you personally possess, and this even encompasses the future and an individual’s character. Prayer is the standard for everything. However, the majority of people do not pray, and even if they do pray, they are unable to properly receive answers because they pray according to their personal experiences or circumstances. How must we correctly understand and apply prayer?





1. Have a taste of prayer
 Problems are the start of prayer. You must experience receiving answers after grabbing hold of a problem and praying. Starting from this moment, your prayer begins to change. The power of the Gospel is Christ becoming Christ when incidents and problems arise. If you pray like this inside the blessing of Christ, your eyes to see the spiritual facts will open. Therefore, we must pray regarding the blessings of becoming a child of God and the state of the nonbeliever. Then, the vision God has given will be more firmly established and enjoyed. Starting from this moment, scheduled prayer, continuous prayer, worship prayer, special prayer and concentrated prayer take place. We must absolutely experience the taste of prayer.





2. Do not lose hold of one thing
 There is one thing we must absolutely not lose hold of. This is prayer. People of faith who took every part of their life into prayer had complete victory. Just as athletes who exercise well ride the rhythm of exercise well, not losing hold of the rhythm of your lifestyle and field through prayer is important. Therefore, you must have the taste of prayer taking place inside all meetings, incidents and work. At this time, you develop the eyes to see the age and receive the answer of uniqueness.





3. Grab hold of the mystery of prayer
  First, we must make the challenge of finding our answer every time we pray as we will lead the people of the world and the future descendants. No matter what incident, answer, work, thoughts, or problems you have, you must be able to advance forward with the answer. Therefore, you must receive the answer of prayer. Second, as we are the leaders who will lead society, we must gain the strength of prayer inside the blessing of being the children of God. This is because the kingdom of God comes upon every place the children of God go. Third, we must give true devotion because we are the ones who will lead the church. In order to give true devotion, we must understand the flow of the message, apply this in the Gospel, and become people who fulfill the message. We must challenge for 24-hour prayer to take place inside the Gospel.
