Welcome to Gospel Truth with Andrew Wamman, a teaching ministry emphasizing God's unconditional love and grace.

This special life teaching on a better way to pray was recorded at our 2019 Texas

Gospel Truth seminar and now here's Andrew. If you weren't here, I started teaching last night on a better way to pray, not it's the only way to pray

or if you're the devil if you don't pray this way.

But I started the way that Jesus started in Matthew chapter six and he started by saying

don't pray like everybody else don't pray like the hypocrites because they

love to pray and then he countered people who prayed for show,

prayed because they thought that the longer they prayed,

the better it would be. He countered people who prayed because they wanted to tell God what the problem was. It says

God knows your needs before you ask. It says don't use vain repetitions. That's

like quoting the Lord's prayer over and over. I remember one time that I was praying for people

down in front and a person had demons and they went to screaming and yelling and a woman

on the front row row she just started going

Our Father was our Father in Heaven, howly be thy name my kingdom come thy will be done.

She was just like a machine gun just shooting this thing out thinking that

somehow or another that would protect her from this demon.

That is vain repetition.

God never intended you to quote the Lord's prayer.

Did you know that that prayer isn't even prayed in the name of Jesus? It's not a New Testament prayer. It's more accurate to say

it's a model prayer. It tells you that you come in worshiping God, our

father which art in heaven, and you worship him and glorify him,

but it was never meant to be recited.
