1. Starting by setting up an hour to pray

    In order for you to experience the joy of praying for an hour, you must first prepare an hour just for the sake of praying. This logical and reasonable to set this hour in your day. If you don't even want to set an hour out of your daily schedule to pray, there is no way you can understand what it means by praying for an hour. What will be the best time to pray for an hour? For sure , in the morning when you first jump out of your bed will always be the best time to pray if you can get up early. Of course you can set another time of the day if you feel so rush in the morning. However, the fact being that you will either getting worry about things of the day once you start to work or you will just feel tired during the night. If you can give God the best hour of your day, you will experience how power is the first hour of your day will be after you meet God in the morning.

2. Starting by giving thanks and praise to God

    The Bible clearly states that "Enter his gates with thanksgiving; go into his courts with praise. Give thanks to him and praise his name.(Psalm 100:4)" When we tried to enter into God's presence, it is always a good way to start up with thanks giving and praise. You can simply thank God for His daily provision to you and your family, thank God for your breathe, thank God for a good sleep, etc. Thank God with small things then, you will feel how blessing you already are for having all these. Everything is a grace of God and God owe us nothing. As long as we can remember this, we will have tons of things to thank God for. We can also start to praise His names since God has many names revealed to us in the bible and each name has its own meaning to tell us how great our God is. You can also praise God for what he did for you  or anythings or anybody that comes up to your mind that you need to praise God for. (That will fill your first 10-15 minutes up in your prayer time)
3. Starting by listening to God's voice

    In this sweet hour of prayer, you don't just keep on speaking at all times, but you can sing out your praise as well and then get into a moment of listening to God's voice. It is better for you to prepare a pen and a notepad (or a notebook) besides you while you start to listen to God. When God speak anything special to you, you can just write it down for your memory or later meditation. God can speak to you with a small still voice in your mind just like when he spoke to the prophet Elijah. He can speak to you with words from the bible, a vision or a picture during your prayer time to you.God will speak to each of us in a unique way that He wants us to get the message .Just sensitive to His voice in this hour when you need to keep your mouth shut and let God speaks.You will be enjoy what He is going to say to you and this is one of the sweetest moment of your prayer hour. (this listening process will takes you to another 10-15 minutes)

4. Starting by Proclaiming God words out aloud

    By proclaiming God's words, you will build up your own faith in prayer.By the time you proclaim God's words , you are the one who is listening as well. God's words will just enter into your spirit and build up your faith at the same time. Since there is power in what you say "Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.(Proverbs 18:21)" and also in the words of God So will My word be which goes forth from My mouth;It will not return to Me empty,Without accomplishing what I desire, And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it.(Isaiah 55 :11)", there is something going on in the spirit realm as you proclaim God's word out loud. You can choose 10 verses each morning and experience the power of God in this prayer moment in your life.(5-10 minutes is gone)

5. Starting by pray for yourself and your own prayer items

   We will not place our own self in the beginning of the prayer time because God will always be the first focus of our prayer time. However, it is also important to pray for ourselves since God told us to love others like how we love ourselves as what Jesus summarized about the essence of the commandments. We also have the responsibility to manage things about our life. That's nothing wrong to pray for your self except we always place God as our priority in our prayer time. We can also pray for our family members and anything we need to pray about in that last 15 minutes of our one hour prayer meeting with God. (15 minutes will be gone by now).

Conclusion :

   It is how easy to pray for an hour with the suggest timetable from above and you will never right out of things to pray if you will try to use this plan. In case you really have nothing to pray about, you can at least read God's words and get to know God in an intimate way within this hour. It will certainly build up your spirit and draw you closer to God. Actually you can pray bin tongue if you are really running out of things to pray because it is a supernatural language that the Holy Spirit loves to give to every believer. (whether you view it a sign of Spirit-filled experience or as a first sign in the baptism of the Holy Spirit, or any charismatic experience related to this. ) It really helps out your pray and also edify our faith as well.That's why we will never run out of prayer items and we can always pray with the help of the Holy Spirit who can always teach us how to pray according to the Father's will.

Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins'"
                                                                                                                     (Mark 11:22-25)


2. Pray in the name of Jesus :

        There are so teaching about prayers in the Christian churches but on e kind of prayer is among the most important one. That is learning " how do I pray in the Holy Spirit ?" Who is the Holy Spirit ? The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God and the Holy Spirit is the only person of the Trinity who is still staying on earth after Jesus had ascended to heaven. Since our  heavenly Father is in heaven and so does Jesus right now, it would be hard for Christian to stay in this world alone and keep on fighting with the devil in spiritual warfare. We need to thank God that the Holy Spirit had came to this world as Jesus has promised before his ascension to heaven.The Holy Spirit had came in the form of a tongue in fire and fell on all those 120 people who were in upper room in their prayer time according to Acts 2.The Holy Spirit surely had came as fire and all Christian will be empowered by the filling of the Holy Spirit. However, the question still remains is that " How do I pray in the Holy Spirit ?" The following 4 tips are the answer to this question :

1. You need to be baptized  by the Holy Spirit


    All Christians already got the holy Spirit when they first accepted Jesus as the own personal
    savior. But to filled by the Holy Spirit, one must be baptized by the Holy Spirit just like what 
    Jesus and other apostles who wrote the entire new Testament have experienced. Take a look on the Bible and you will see Jesus experienced the baptism of the Holy Spirit right after his water baptism by John The Baptist. Same as experience have been found after the Holy Spirit first descended from heaven and baptized all the 120 people in the upper room. The apostle Paul and other disciples of Christ in the early church received the same experience as well and all of them starting to speak in tongue right after their water baptism and experienced the baptism of the Holy Spirit by speaking in tongue as a witness to all the public as well. that's why we need to first invited the holy Spirit to fill us and baptized us before we can pray in the Holy Spirit. It is true that you already got the Holy Spirit when you first accepted Jesus in your heart but it is just like a tiny glass that contains only a few percentage of water inside the glass and not in it's fullness until it spell out of the glass. It is just like a car who can still run on the road with only 20 percent of electricity charged but it will never go far away (unless it is fully charged). That's why baptized by the Holy Spirit and be filled with the Holy Spirit in full is so important to our Christian and prayer life.


2. Speak in tongue as a sign for the the baptism of the Holy Spirit


     Many people would argue that whether speak in tongue is the first sign for the baptism of the Holy Spirit. It is hard to get to know the this truth completely on earth unless God will help us to solve this debatable problem. However, we can't argue that there is one of the clear signs for those who has been baptized by the Holy Spirit do speak in tongue. That's an experience that we can't deny about the baptism of the Holy Spirit. In order for all the Christians to experience how to pray in the Holy Spirit, we certainly need to invite the Holy Spirit to baptize us and give us this prayer language from the Holy Spirit.


3.Start to pray in tongue once you have received this gift from the Holy Spirit


   The Bible clearly states that pray in tongue is pray according to the Holy Spirit. "Likewise the
   Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the
   Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words".(Romans 8:26) We may not be able understand what is the most suitable prayer in some cases and actually we will alwyas be running out of words to pray in our won language. However, thanks to the Holy Spirit that he can pray for us through His won language. Pray in tongue since it is not just edify us "The one who speaks in a tongue builds up himself, but the one who prophesies builds up the church" (1 Cor 14:4) but it also help us to pray according to the will of God. For sure it will be the best prayer in the world for all Christians.


4.Pray in tongue will build up your faith and magnify God


   When we pray in tongue we are  building up and exercising our own faith since we don't know
    what we are speaking about. As the bible says that "But you, beloved, building yourselves up
    in your most holy faith  and praying in the Holy Spirit"(Jude 1:20). It is not just an act of faith
but it is a language that will praise God and magnify God that we don't even know about. "For they heard them speak with tongues and  magnify God." ( Acts 10:46) That's why we really have to use this prayer language often and always in our prayer life.


Conclusion


     Although the Paul has certain instruction in the Bible to the Corinthians on how to use Spiritual gifts with love and give a clear on speaking in tongues and some others Spiritual gifts practices in the 12 to 14 chapters of 1 Corinthians. He has never discouraged the Corinthians on using their Spiritual gifts in building up the body of Christ. Whenever we can remember the 39 verse of Chapter 14 "So, my brothers, earnestly desire to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues. ", we will have the boldness to keep praying in tongues in our prayer life. Many testimonies has been telling us that pray in tongue will sometimes move God to answer our prayer with miracles as well, That's why , we should always use this prayer language for our Christian churches. Practically speaking, at least 15-20 minutes a day would be a good practice but actually there is no time limited since the Holy Spirit may lead you to pray according to His time and schedule. But we still maintain our daily habit to make use of this language as often as we can.

There are many Bible verses telling us that God heals . There are also many teaching from the Scripture telling us many things relating to healing and how to deal with diseases as well. The following 5 facts will help us to have a better understanding on the issue of healing.

1. Sickness and diseases are the result of sin

There are clear teaching in the bible saying that whenever God's people will obey God's command, they will be blessed (Deuteronomy 28:1-14). However, when God's people are walking away from God's words and committed in a sinful life and disobedience, it will cause many curses of God to come and diseases are one of the result from all  these curses. For in Deuteronomy (28:58-61), it said :

58 If you do not carefully follow all the words of this law, which are written in this book, and do not revere this glorious and awesome name--the LORD your God-- 59 the LORD will send fearful plagues on you and your descendants, harsh and prolonged disasters, and severe and lingering illnesses. 60 He will bring upon you all the diseases of Egypt that you dreaded, and they will cling to you. 61 The LORD will also bring on you every kind of sickness and disaster not recorded in this Book of the Law, until you are destroyed.

2. God will heal His people 

God will never enjoy punishing His people and seeing them attack by diseases. However, since the result of sin is terrible and Satan will gain the power to attack on any people who doesn't obey God. God in His mercy still promised that He will be the healer of His people.

Exodus 15:26, "I am the LORD that health thee." He is truly a merciful God who is willing to heal our diseases and That's why he said it clear to His people that He will heal their sickness and diseases.

3. Jesus has already paid for our transgressions

We really have to thank God for Jesus, the son of God has came to this world to died for all our sin on the cross and because the 39 lashings on His back, we are healed.That's the payment for our healing. As what Isaiah 53:5 says that :

"But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed"

4.  All Christians have the authority to heal in the name of Jesus

Before Jesus leaved this world to heaven , He commanded His disciples to perform signs and wonders for the purpose of witnessing to the gospel. One of the authority he has already given to all the followers of Christ in Mark 16 :18 being that :

" they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well."

When we start to lay hands on the sick and command the sickness to be gone by faith, healing miracles will happen.

5. Healing is for today

There are no words in the Bible saying that God will only heal His people in the past but not today.In fact, the Bible clearly saying that  "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." (Hebrew 13:8) That's why , all the followers of Christ can boldly pray for others healing without any doubt and fear.

Conclusion :

In order to remove all the obstacles that may become a hindering or blockage of healing, lead the person to confess one's own sin as what the Bible says that " If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." (1 John 1:9) (especially related to that particular disease and some need to deal with generational curses as well) and also dealing with unforgiveness"and forgive us our debts,as we also have forgiven our debtors."(Matthew 6 :12) are the usual two main areas that need to be solved before we can see healing take places. However, there are still many unknown reasons that we won't be able answer them all when dealing with non-healing issue after prayer, we can only being faithful to God's word and keep on praying for the sick and obey on God's command in this life.so....Go and start to pray for people and see healing miracles happen in the name of Jesus, now.
