03 When Ye Pray

Prayer is not merely the utterance of words or the effort of the natural mind to reach God; it begins where human effort ends in surrender to God. In this posture of yielding, the spiritual realm is accessed and genuine faith is birthed by the Spirit.

In this message titled, “When Ye Pray – 3,” Pastor Jeffrey Walter reveals that the spiritual realm cannot be accessed through natural means such as analytical thinking. He shows how the analytical mind (i.e., thinking from the natural self) hinders prayer by keeping us bound to the senses, and teaches that effective prayer comes through surrendering to God. Furthermore, he offers practical guidance on how to refrain from the analytical mind and distractions in prayer. Ultimately, he presents prayer as a transformative journey—through consistent surrender and repentance, desires are purified, spiritual awareness deepens, and one comes into genuine faith where divine answers are received.

May this message empower you to shut down the analytical mind and every other distraction in prayer.
