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

This very special broadcast of Andrew's classic teaching, a better way to pray,

as originally recorded in 2003, is being broadcast exclusively for our radio listeners.

And now, here's Andrew. I started teaching on prayer on Monday night, and in the the evening sessions that's what I'm teaching on.

I'm ministering on spirit soul and body in the morning.

But on Monday night we started from Matthew chapter 6 and we started talking about the Lord

talked about prayer but before he taught what prayer was he spent quite a bit of time teaching what prayer was not and countering

misconceptions. Because religious system of his day had become so hypocritical, it had become so phony

that there was a lot of hypocrisy in it. And so the Lord had to undo what people thought was prayer before he could

say what it was so that's how we started on Monday night and then last night I continued still

talking about what prayer is not and my plans last night were really to take this slow and spend

a couple of nights and just politely, kindly try and deal

got an excuse for it. It just needs to be said. There are some weirdness, perverseness in the

body of Christ, especially among intercessors. Now, not all intercession is bad. And before this week is over,

we're going to try and put it the positive spin on this and show you what the right way of doing it is.

But I counted a lot of stuff last night, and I expected some really adverse reaction. I hadn't

heard a negative thing. If you had a negative reaction, you didn't tell me about it. Matter of fact,

I had some people come up and say some positive things. But I tell you, it's different than what's

being taught in the body of Christ today. And I'm sure there's other people teaching it. I'm confident
