It is commonly known as the 'Lord's Prayer, ' but should more accurately be termed the 'Lord's Model of Prayer, ' since the efficacy of prayer hinges on this important distinction. It was not the Lord praying; rather, it was Him teaching His disciples how to pray, as they had requested.

The encounter between Jesus Christ and His disciples can be likened to an architect presenting a model of a house he intends to build. A model represents the exact dimensions of the house. However, no one desires to live in a model house; we want the actual structure in all its glory. A prayer that never progresses beyond the model stage is, at best, ineffective-a rote recitation that reveals our intentions yet lacks the substance required to bring them to fruition in our lives.

Having received this model of prayer directly from Jesus Christ, the Apostles understood and practised prayer from their early days. They knew how to distinguish between the mere recitation of words and true prayer; consequently, they resolved to dedicate their lives to studying the Word and to prayer. Recognising that effective ministry is only possible through effective prayer, they went on to exemplify lives of prayer that consistently achieved spiritual victories and made a global impact. This is the pattern of prayer that God expects from us. In this book, you will learn about the possibilities of prayer, the different types of prayer, and the techniques that ensure we pray correctly and effectively.

Therefore, if you wish to deepen your prayer life and enrich your ministry within the body of Christ, this book will certainly help. As with any activity-including prayer-practice leads to improvement. The more frequently you pray, the more proficient you become, and that is all you need to make a difference in the world.

When the disciples asked Jesus, Lord, teach us to pray, they were expressing a deep desire to see God moving in and through them. They quickly learned to pray as if their lives depended on it-because they did, and they changed their world. When we learn to pray as the disciples did, the world will be compelled to take notice, for God is still in the business of answering prayers.

Learn to pray as Jesus prayed, and you will perform the greater works that Jesus did.
