On one of my Enoch walks, the angels led me to the entrance to the throne Room of heaven. Once the door was opened I was stunned by what I saw. The entire room was filled with different urns and vessels filled with the incense of the prayers of the saints. They had all been stored in His presence just waiting for Him to answer each request. At the front of the room next to the throne was a very large urn, so tall that it was at least 4 feet high. It contained the prayers that Jesus prayed while He walked upon the earth. It had never occurred to me that Jesus’ prayers were also incense that was collected in heaven and that the Father would answer every one of them. (See, The Secret Place, Chapter Fourteen) A passionate desire to study all of the prayers of Jesus stirred deep within my spirit. I determined to study the scriptures concerning the prayer life of Jesus and to pray in agreement with His prayers. The disciples only asked Jesus to teach them one thing: how to pray. Since learned behavior is easier caught than taught, it would do us well to observe the prayer practice of Jesus and what he prayed about. Here is a list of 27 Recorded Prayers Of Jesus 1.
