(00:00):
Do you ever feel like you keep praying for things and then you
(00:03):
just don't see that many answersto your prayers.
There's a very good reason why you're not getting the answers
or the results you want after you've been praying.
So today I'm going to show you how to pray in a very effective
way. That means that your prayers are
answered and you get exactly what you want.
I am speaking from a non religious point of view but this
(00:23):
can help you. No matter what religion you
have, or if you don't have any religion at all.
So before I show you the most effective way to pray.
Let's start by getting the basics.
Cleared up. What is the meaning of the word
prayer? What does it mean to pray?
And if you look up the dictionary definition of prayer,
it simply says the act of speaking to god.
(00:45):
So let's delve into that statement.
Who is God? Or what is God.
And the truth of that matter is that nobody really knows
entirely. But there are a lot of people
myself included who have had spiritual experiences that give
Them some insight into what or who God is.
My personal belief is that you are God, I am God, we are God.
(01:10):
God is everybody everywhere and everything, I don't believe that
God is a person. I don't believe that God is a
man sitting in heaven with a white beard.
Punishing people down there and giving them certain benefits
like tickets to Heaven. I don't believe any of that
stuff, but I am very spiritual and I do believe, Eve in a
(01:30):
spiritual presence. That created everything and that
is everything. So why would you want to speak
to God? Why would you want to speak to
this spiritual presence? A lot of people say that
speaking to God, he's just like having a conversation with a
friend and why do we want to have a conversation with a
friend? It's really just to help us to
make sense of our own thoughts. And if you've ever paid any
(01:52):
attention to your own thoughts, then you'll become aware that
most of your thoughts are automatic.
You don't have any control over They just pop into your head
randomly and you didn't plan them.
You didn't decide that they werejust coming in there.
They just popped into your head.Most thoughts come in and out of
your mind as you go through the day and you don't give them
another thought. But there are certain thoughts,
(02:14):
that might be more powerful or might be more persistent and
when that happens, you suddenly become aware of your thoughts.
You become conscious that you are thinking something and you
start to analyze that thought. So, when you speak your
thoughts, either to another person or to God, you are
becoming conscious of your thoughts and you are expressing
your thoughts. You have analyzed that thought
(02:35):
and you've decided that, that isa thought that you want to
think, or you might be trying toprocess that thought and decide
whether it is something you wantto think and believe and because
we can pray to God in our minds really.
It's just like thinking another thought.
It's just like being conscious of a thought, and whether you
are recognizing or expressing your own thoughts to yourself or
(02:58):
to God, it doesn't really Matterbecause those thoughts are still
being expressed. And there are a few different
reasons why you want to consciously express your
thoughts, either to yourself or to God.
And here are the reasons you want to Express gratitude,
either for something that has already happened or something
that you want to happen in the future.
Another reason that you might want to express your thoughts is
(03:21):
that you might want to recognizethat something happened that you
didn't like and whether or not you were the one who caused the
thing or somebody Us cause it, or it was just some random thing
that happened. Something happened that you
didn't, like some people might call this a confession, but I
like to think of it as a realization.
That something happened that youdidn't want to happen at the
(03:42):
point of confessions. Some people also like to ask for
forgiveness, or they like to forgive themselves or forgive
other people, but I don't think that forgiveness is necessary
and that's because I don't believe in Free Will and I have
a video All About Free Will. So if you want to know what I
think about free will You can goand watch that and the reason
why I don't believe in Free Willis because if you've noticed
(04:05):
your thought, you know that theyjust randomly pop in there and
you didn't decide them and when you don't believe in free will,
then you've got no choice. But to automatically forgive
everybody and yourself for anything they've done because
they didn't choose to do it. And the third and most common
reason to pray is to ask for something that you want.
And it doesn't matter whether you are asking for something for
(04:26):
yourself, or for somebody else, you still have a desire.
Desire for something that you want to manifest in your
physical reality. And when most people think of
the word, pray, they often thinkof asking or requesting that
they get something they want, they might be asking for help or
they might be asking for a particular thing in their life
(04:47):
and this is the most common use of prayer and this is what I
want to focus on today and this is the stumbling block for most
people and why most people don'tget the answers.
They want to their prayers. So What are some of the reasons
why prayers go unanswered? Where I basically you don't get
the results. You want to your prayer.
(05:07):
The main problem that I see whenit comes to prayer, is that it's
not specific enough. I used to go to church and I
would hear people praying for other people.
And I would think, how is that ever going to achieve a
particular result? Like, for example, the minister
would stand up and say, does anybody want prayer for anybody
today and their people in the congregation would say, yes.
(05:29):
Yes, Mary is struggling with cancer.
Can you pray for her? And then the minister would say
a prayer that sounded, somethinglike this.
God, please be with Mary today as she goes through these
struggles, and I'm sitting therethinking, well, God is always
with Mary, God is in Mary God created Mary God's in all of
Mary's experiences. So to me, there's no point in
(05:51):
praying that God be with Mary because God's always with Mary
anyway, and I do recognize the difficulty in praying for
something very specific in. Congregation because you don't
know exactly what that person wants to pray for.
Mary they you don't know what result that person wants to get
and there is not there so you don't know what results Mary
wants. So it's very difficult to pray
(06:12):
and I was just thinking after half an hour of these kind of
prayers. I was thinking, what a waste of
time, nobody's going to get any results because nobody's prayed
for any results here to me. It would be far better to sit in
silence and just pray your own individual prayer.
Using the Mule that. I'm going to teach you in a
minute. The second reason why people
(06:32):
don't get answers to prayer is that they simply didn't believe
that the prayer was going to getanswered.
They didn't believe that. The thing that they were praying
for was ever going to happen, you need to expect and assume
that your prayer is going to be answered in the way you want.
And this can take a certain level of confidence, but
hopefully after watching a lot of my videos, you'll get to that
(06:54):
place of confidence and recognizing who you are and
you'll be confident in who you are and the powers that You have
another reason why prayers go unanswered is because the person
simply doesn't feel worthy to receive the answer.
They want, especially if they'repraying for themselves.
A lot of people don't feel like they should be praying for
themselves. They feel like prey is only for
(07:15):
other people and that they're not worthy of asking for
anything. They're not worthy of any
blessings so they don't ask theydon't expect to receive another
reason. Why prayers for yourself going
answered is because people feel guilty about asking for certain
things they might Might feel guilty about asking for more
money, when there's plenty of people out there who don't have
any money, they feel guilty about asking for what they think
(07:37):
are frivolous things when there are people out there starving
and struggling. So they don't feel like they
should receive anything. Another reason why people don't
receive answers to prayer is that they believe that God is
separate from them. That's not a part of them.
They feel like they're a worthless human being who's just
going to die, and then that's it.
They're going to go to dust, or they're going to go to heaven,
(07:59):
but Of the mercy of God and theyfeel like they're powerless and
that they're unimportant and they don't recognize the
spiritual gifts that they have as a human.
And one of those spiritual giftsis to be able to pray and get
what you want. All humans have been given this
gift, whether they know it or not.
So let me show you how to use that.
(08:20):
Spiritual gift that you've got. Let me show you how to pray to
get exactly what you want. So here is my formula for the
most effective way to Pray number one, you have to decide
what you want and it has to be something specific, no more,
praying that God is with you or that you feel the blessings or
any of that stuff, you need to decide what specific thing you
(08:42):
want and you need to clarify it.Put in as much detail as you
possibly can. Number two, you need to decide
that you are going to see the answer to prayer materialize.
In your physical reality is going to manifest in your
physical reality, otherwise you're wasting your time.
The point in praying, if you don't even think you're going to
(09:02):
see it in the future, you need to assume that you are going to
get the answer because whatever you assume comes true.
That is the secret of prayer. It's all based on assumptions to
you need to get your assumptionsin the right place.
Number three you need to use your spiritual gift.
This is the time to use it. Your spiritual gift is called
(09:24):
your imagination. Imagination is not just for
kids, playing dress up and pretending to be a Certain job
imagination is for everybody. This is the way that we use our
god-given powers to be able to imagine that you have.
The thing you want is to create the thing you want.
This is how things are created by using your imagination.
(09:45):
You don't physically create them, but they are activated
using the power of your imagination, which is God's
power that you have as a human. And to do this, you need to
imagine for you already have thething.
You want and use as many of yourfive senses as you possibly can.
To imagine that. You already have what you want
(10:07):
and I'll give you a great example of this in a minute.
Number four, you need to expect to see it materialize.
You need to expect that you are going to see it.
So you need to keep it in the back of your mind.
And wonder, oh, is this the day when I'm going to see that thing
that I wanted remember, desires are promises.
So you've been promised that youwill receive the thing that you
(10:29):
did. Decided you wanted.
You expected it to happen. You've imagined you've already
got it and therefore it's been promised to you.
So you need to be asking yourself.
Where is it? I know it's coming.
But when is it coming? And where is it coming from?
This is the fun of life is not knowing the answers to those two
questions. But you can be certain that it
is coming. Now, I have a great example, a
(10:51):
great story to share with you byGregg Braden about how to pray
the right way to get exactly what you want.
So Is what Greg said back in theearly 90s, I was living in the
high desert of Northern New Mexico.
This was during one of the worstdroughts that the Southwest had
ever recorded the elders in the native Pueblos said that as far
(11:13):
back as they could remember. They've never gone so long
without rain David and Native friend of mine from one of
those. Nearby Pueblos called me one
summer morning and asked if I wanted to join him in visiting.
A place, his ancestors had builtWhere he could pray for rain and
I agreed. And soon we were hiking through
(11:34):
hundreds of Acres of high desertsage.
He led me to a place where therewas a stone circle that reminded
me of a medicine wheel. Each Stone had been placed
precisely by the hands of his ancestors.
Long ago. I had an expectation of what I
thought I was going to see but my friend simply removed his
hiking boots then stepped with his naked feet into the stone
(11:58):
circle. The first thing he did was to
honor all of its ancestors. Then he held his hands in a
prayer position in front of his chest and turned his back to me
and closed his eyes, less than aminute later.
He turned around and said I'm hungry.
Let's go and get a bite to eat surprised.
I said, I thought you came here to Pray For Rain, I had been
(12:22):
expecting to see some of the chanting and dancing, and you
looked at me and said no, if I prayed for rain the The rain
would never happen when I asked him.
Why he said? It's because the moment you pray
for something to occur, you've just acknowledged that it's not
existing in that moment. And you may actually be denying
(12:44):
the very thing that you'd like to bring forward in your
prayers. And Greg said, well, if you
didn't Pray For Rain, just now, when you close your eyes, what
did you do? And he said, when I close my
eyes, I felt the feeling of whatit feels like.
After there's been so much pain that I can stand with my naked
feet, in the mud of my Pueblo Village.
(13:06):
I smell the smells of rainwater rolling off the Earthen walls of
our home and I felt what it feels like to walk through.
A field of corn that is chest-high because of all that
rain that's fallen in that way. I plant a seed for the
possibility of that rain and I give thanks of gratitude and
appreciation and I said you meangratitude for the The rain that
(13:30):
you've created and he said, no we don't create the rain.
I'm giving thanks of gratitude and appreciation for the
opportunity to commune with the forces of creation.
So basically he's saying that heas a human, didn't create the
rain, but he is communicating directly with that power, that
does create the brain. And that's his own personal
(13:52):
belief, and opinion. But the message from this story
is that you don't pray for something to happen in the
future. So, Don't sit there and say, I
pray for the healing. In this lady, you experience in
your imagination that the healing has already happened.
So how do you do this specifically?
So this is how I pray and get exactly what I want.
(14:15):
Whether I'm praying for somebodyelse or whether I'm just praying
for myself. I pray in exactly the same way
and usually I know what I want myself because I have my own
desires and I just decide what Iwant.
So it's easier to pray for myself when it comes.
To praying for the people and I see somebody struggling, then I
often try and find out exactly what they want because in the
(14:36):
past when I've tried to assume that I know what they want, it's
turned out to be completely wrong and they actually want
something else. And the only time that I don't
pray for the very specific thingthat somebody wants is if I feel
like they aren't really aware ofhow powerful prayer is and
they're not asking for enough inthe holding themselves back
because maybe they don't feel worthy.
(14:57):
Maybe they feel too humble. To ask for such big things or
maybe they're doubting that big things would ever happen.
So in those cases, I would pray for more.
So if somebody was struggling with health complaint and they
said I want prayer that I have arelief from my health complaint
at the weekend because I've got this special event to go to and
I'm thinking in my head, she doesn't realize that she can get
(15:20):
complete healing from this health complaint.
It doesn't need to be just at the weekend so I will then pray
for something bigger for my friend.
If I get a general gist Most of it.
What it is? They actually want.
So when I've decided what it is,I want to pray for.
I remind myself how powerful prayer is.
And then I imagine a conversation where my friend has
(15:41):
told me that they no longer havethe struggle that they
previously had, or they have theexact result that they wanted.
And the reason why I always imagined a conversation is
because it's often very difficult to imagine that
somebody has been healed when you can't see inside their body.
So a Things that involve prayer.You can't actually see with your
(16:04):
eyes, so it's very difficult to imagine them with your senses.
You can't see that somebody's healed.
Sometimes you can see that somebody's healed but most often
than not, you wouldn't be able to tell by looking at them.
So it's much easier to imagine aconversation because you can
also get very specific with the conversation.
You can imagine exact words which mean an exact thing, so
(16:24):
you can imagine somebody else telling you that they are now
healed. And that means something very Be
specific. It means a lot more than just
looking at somebody and thinkingthey look very healthy.
That doesn't necessarily mean they've been healed.
So the conversation is very specific, very direct very, very
accurate and very, very powerful.
So that is the way in which I pray is often through imagining
(16:47):
a conversation and even when it comes to praying for myself, I
will also Imagine a conversationwith somebody else, but I
imagine that. I am telling somebody else that
I now have the results that I want and it works both ways.
Then I get into the place of expectancy and certainty.
I know that I am going to get ananswer to my prayer because my
imagination is God's power and our imagination creates things,
(17:12):
as long as I am certain about what I want.
Here's some mistakes to avoid. When it comes to prayer, don't
beg for the thing you want, you don't need to beg.
You don't set need to say, please please God, please give
me the thing. You want, I promise I will do
this. I promise.
I will do that. You don't need to do any of that
stuff. You don't even.
You need to ask a lot of people like to ask, they like to be
(17:32):
polite and that's because they think of God as something
separate from them. But when you think of, we are
all connected. We are all God.
We are all one. We are all one mind.
You don't need to ask yourself for permission, you just simply
decide and you take you take it in your imagination.
There is nobody and nothing thatcan stop you from imagining what
you want to imagine. You can literally be anywhere or
(17:55):
do anything in your imagination.You don't need to ask for
permission to. In something.
And there's a reason why we've been given that imagination, we
don't need to ask for permissionto access our imagination.
Our imagination is what creates a lot of people will still want
to ask God for permission to do something or ask God for help to
(18:15):
do something and they will neverbe able to get their head
around. The fact that we are all one,
they will never come to that realization and that's okay as
well because your belief system is what creates your assumptions
is. What creates So, if you believe
that to get results, you have toask God for help as long as you
imagine that, you have what you want.
(18:36):
It doesn't matter whether you'vejust decided that you have what
you want, or whether you've asked God for what you wanted,
as long as you imagine, you haveit.
That is what will give you the results but it's really not
necessary to ask for something that you want because you have
God's power directly because youare one with God and your
Consciousness is God's Consciousness.
Another mistake people make is to drone on and on On the
(19:00):
prayers. Don't need to be long.
The shorter the better as long as you don't contradict them.
It doesn't matter how short theyare.
They still effective. It's your imagination that
creates not. How many times you ask for
something. Another thing is don't feel like
you have to pray every single day.
Religiously don't feel like you have to wake up and say your
prayers or say your prayers before you go to bed.
(19:21):
It's not an insurance policy. That's not the point of prayer
because we have God's Consciousness.
Our thoughts come directly from God, and our conscious thought
go Go directly to God, it's justone Circle.
So every thought you think goes to God and everything that comes
into, your life comes from God. So you can think of it as a
two-way, communication thing, you can think of it like
speaking to a friend if you like.
(19:42):
But really it's so much deeper than that.
It's, you're always in direct communication because you can't
be apart from yourself that always with yourself.
And that's why God always hears you because God is, you is
inside you and is part of you. You are part of God, you're all
one. Another mistake people make.
It is that they use language that they wouldn't use in
everyday conversation, they try and make their prayers, very
(20:05):
formal using all of this religious language and there's
absolutely no need for any of that.
The best way to think thought iswith your own thoughts, just in
the way that you would talk to afriend.
That's the best way to think a thought and to pray a prayer.
Another thing is, you don't needto end your prayers by saying
something. Like in Jesus name, this is
(20:26):
something that comes directly from the Bible and a lot of
People think I need to pray thismagic prayer, these magic words.
And if I say the magic words in Jesus name, then it will make
the prayer happen. It will cast the spell so to
speak. But that's not what the Bible
was getting at. When it said, in my name, it
meant in my spirit in my likeness, and that means in my
(20:48):
imagination, you immerse yourself in it.
I imagining that you have what you want, so you pray for
something in my name. It means you pray for something
in my imagination. You Experience it in your
imagination and that is what activates the prayer not.
By saying magic words, the only magic thing is your imagination
(21:09):
and if you don't believe me thatthis works then try and put it
to the test. I suggest you put it to the test
with something that you're not really too concerned about your
not really bothered about but itwould be really nice to have.
Imagine that you have received abunch of flowers or imagine that
somebody has given you a box of chocolates or imagine that
somebody is giving you a compliment today.
A specific. Compliment.
(21:30):
Somebody said I really like the outfit you're wearing today.
I like your hair. Your face looks really nice
today. Imagine a specific compliment
that you want to receive and imagine you've already had it or
imagine telling somebody that you had a compliment.
You could tell somebody it was really interesting.
Today, somebody gave me a compliment on my outfit.
So that's how you activate your prayer, put it to the test.
(21:53):
That is a prayer. And within the next two weeks,
you should see your manifestation activate.
I see. Two weeks because these type of
manifestations usually happen very quickly.
And that's because you don't have any resistance to it and
you're not going to contradict it and block it.
And also, if I tell you, it willhappen within two weeks.
You're more than likely going tobelieve me and get that in your
(22:14):
imagination. And you're going to imagine that
you are receiving a compliment within two weeks.
And because you've imagined it within two weeks, then it
probably will happen within two weeks.
It's not that I can predict any time scales.
There aren't any time scales attached to anything, you
actually don't know. Know when something's going to
happen but in my experience things happen, sooner, rather
than later, if you aren't desperate to receive it into
(22:38):
your life and you haven't blocked it by saying it's not
going to happen. Because if you think about it,
every word that you say, to somebody else is also a prayer
because God can hear it, not that God has ears.
But because we are God and part of God, God hears everything.
So, when you are talking to a friend, and you are telling
somebody that something's not going to happen in the future or
(22:59):
something. What is going to happen in the
future? That is actually a prayer.
You are praying for that thing because you have imagined that
something bad is going to happenin the future because you're
telling a friend so you wouldn'tbe telling them something if it
hadn't already come from your imagination.
So think about that next time you're having a conversation
with somebody that your conversations with other people
are also prayers and you can useprayers to get anything you
(23:22):
want. You can pray for very specific
things. The most powerful prayer that I
ever prayed was a prayer. Pair of being able to live the
perfect day, the day that I really wanted and there was so
many things I wanted, and I prayed for them all and they all
happened and there's details in the description below about how
I did that. Another word for prayer is
(23:43):
manifestation. I know a lot of people who are
into prayer, don't like the wordmanifestation, but it to me, it
means a very similar thing. If I tell somebody I'm going to
pray for them. It means I'm going to manifest
for them. If I say to myself, I'm going to
pray for myself. It means I'm going to manifest
for I don't usually use the wordprayer when I'm talking about
(24:03):
being grateful or noticing that something bad has happened
because I like to think of prayer as activating my
spiritual Powers, which is my imagination.
And when I'm feeling grateful for something that's already
happened. I'm not necessarily using my
imagination and when I'm recognizing that something bad
has happened again, I'm not usually using my imagination if
I'm grateful for something that I want to happen in the future.
(24:26):
That is a prayer because I am Dating my imagination again.
If I'm feeling bad that I have done something wrong and then I
beat myself up and say I'm always doing these things that
is using my imagination because I'm assuming that I'm going to
keep doing these things in the future.
So that is a prayer. So to me a prayer is anything
(24:47):
where you've involved your imagination and you are
projecting something into the future that you want to happen
or even you don't want to happenbecause it works both ways.
You can pray for negative thingsas well as positive.
Hopefully, you'll become more aware of your thoughts and you
will start to pray for positive things in your life, rather than
negative things. So, if you want to learn more
(25:08):
about the power of prayer, or about how to manifest what you
want, which is another way to say a prayer, then go and check
out my video, what is manifestation and that explains
it all in great detail, and thatshould pop up on the screen
right now. If you'd like to see more videos

And now, it's your turn to go, and put your stamp.
(25:29):
Thump on the world.
Do you ever feel like you keep praying for things and then you
(00:03):
just don't see that many answersto your prayers.
There's a very good reason why you're not getting the answers
or the results you want after you've been praying.
So today I'm going to show you how to pray in a very effective
way. That means that your prayers are
answered and you get exactly what you want.
I am speaking from a non religious point of view but this
(00:23):
can help you. No matter what religion you
have, or if you don't have any religion at all.
So before I show you the most effective way to pray.
Let's start by getting the basics.
Cleared up. What is the meaning of the word
prayer? What does it mean to pray?
And if you look up the dictionary definition of prayer,
it simply says the act of speaking to god.
(00:45):
So let's delve into that statement.
Who is God? Or what is God.
And the truth of that matter is that nobody really knows
entirely. But there are a lot of people
myself included who have had spiritual experiences that give
Them some insight into what or who God is.
My personal belief is that you are God, I am God, we are God.
(01:10):
God is everybody everywhere and everything, I don't believe that
God is a person. I don't believe that God is a
man sitting in heaven with a white beard.
Punishing people down there and giving them certain benefits
like tickets to Heaven. I don't believe any of that
stuff, but I am very spiritual and I do believe, Eve in a
(01:30):
spiritual presence. That created everything and that
is everything. So why would you want to speak
to God? Why would you want to speak to
this spiritual presence? A lot of people say that
speaking to God, he's just like having a conversation with a
friend and why do we want to have a conversation with a
friend? It's really just to help us to
make sense of our own thoughts. And if you've ever paid any
(01:52):
attention to your own thoughts, then you'll become aware that
most of your thoughts are automatic.
You don't have any control over They just pop into your head
randomly and you didn't plan them.
You didn't decide that they werejust coming in there.
They just popped into your head.Most thoughts come in and out of
your mind as you go through the day and you don't give them
another thought. But there are certain thoughts,
(02:14):
that might be more powerful or might be more persistent and
when that happens, you suddenly become aware of your thoughts.
You become conscious that you are thinking something and you
start to analyze that thought. So, when you speak your
thoughts, either to another person or to God, you are
becoming conscious of your thoughts and you are expressing
your thoughts. You have analyzed that thought
(02:35):
and you've decided that, that isa thought that you want to
think, or you might be trying toprocess that thought and decide
whether it is something you wantto think and believe and because
we can pray to God in our minds really.
It's just like thinking another thought.
It's just like being conscious of a thought, and whether you
are recognizing or expressing your own thoughts to yourself or
(02:58):
to God, it doesn't really Matterbecause those thoughts are still
being expressed. And there are a few different
reasons why you want to consciously express your
thoughts, either to yourself or to God.
And here are the reasons you want to Express gratitude,
either for something that has already happened or something
that you want to happen in the future.
Another reason that you might want to express your thoughts is
(03:21):
that you might want to recognizethat something happened that you
didn't like and whether or not you were the one who caused the
thing or somebody Us cause it, or it was just some random thing
that happened. Something happened that you
didn't, like some people might call this a confession, but I
like to think of it as a realization.
That something happened that youdidn't want to happen at the
(03:42):
point of confessions. Some people also like to ask for
forgiveness, or they like to forgive themselves or forgive
other people, but I don't think that forgiveness is necessary
and that's because I don't believe in Free Will and I have
a video All About Free Will. So if you want to know what I
think about free will You can goand watch that and the reason
why I don't believe in Free Willis because if you've noticed
(04:05):
your thought, you know that theyjust randomly pop in there and
you didn't decide them and when you don't believe in free will,
then you've got no choice. But to automatically forgive
everybody and yourself for anything they've done because
they didn't choose to do it. And the third and most common
reason to pray is to ask for something that you want.
And it doesn't matter whether you are asking for something for
(04:26):
yourself, or for somebody else, you still have a desire.
Desire for something that you want to manifest in your
physical reality. And when most people think of
the word, pray, they often thinkof asking or requesting that
they get something they want, they might be asking for help or
they might be asking for a particular thing in their life
(04:47):
and this is the most common use of prayer and this is what I
want to focus on today and this is the stumbling block for most
people and why most people don'tget the answers.
They want to their prayers. So What are some of the reasons
why prayers go unanswered? Where I basically you don't get
the results. You want to your prayer.
(05:07):
The main problem that I see whenit comes to prayer, is that it's
not specific enough. I used to go to church and I
would hear people praying for other people.
And I would think, how is that ever going to achieve a
particular result? Like, for example, the minister
would stand up and say, does anybody want prayer for anybody
today and their people in the congregation would say, yes.
(05:29):
Yes, Mary is struggling with cancer.
Can you pray for her? And then the minister would say
a prayer that sounded, somethinglike this.
God, please be with Mary today as she goes through these
struggles, and I'm sitting therethinking, well, God is always
with Mary, God is in Mary God created Mary God's in all of
Mary's experiences. So to me, there's no point in
(05:51):
praying that God be with Mary because God's always with Mary
anyway, and I do recognize the difficulty in praying for
something very specific in. Congregation because you don't
know exactly what that person wants to pray for.
Mary they you don't know what result that person wants to get
and there is not there so you don't know what results Mary
wants. So it's very difficult to pray
(06:12):
and I was just thinking after half an hour of these kind of
prayers. I was thinking, what a waste of
time, nobody's going to get any results because nobody's prayed
for any results here to me. It would be far better to sit in
silence and just pray your own individual prayer.
Using the Mule that. I'm going to teach you in a
minute. The second reason why people
(06:32):
don't get answers to prayer is that they simply didn't believe
that the prayer was going to getanswered.
They didn't believe that. The thing that they were praying
for was ever going to happen, you need to expect and assume
that your prayer is going to be answered in the way you want.
And this can take a certain level of confidence, but
hopefully after watching a lot of my videos, you'll get to that
(06:54):
place of confidence and recognizing who you are and
you'll be confident in who you are and the powers that You have
another reason why prayers go unanswered is because the person
simply doesn't feel worthy to receive the answer.
They want, especially if they'repraying for themselves.
A lot of people don't feel like they should be praying for
themselves. They feel like prey is only for
(07:15):
other people and that they're not worthy of asking for
anything. They're not worthy of any
blessings so they don't ask theydon't expect to receive another
reason. Why prayers for yourself going
answered is because people feel guilty about asking for certain
things they might Might feel guilty about asking for more
money, when there's plenty of people out there who don't have
any money, they feel guilty about asking for what they think
(07:37):
are frivolous things when there are people out there starving
and struggling. So they don't feel like they
should receive anything. Another reason why people don't
receive answers to prayer is that they believe that God is
separate from them. That's not a part of them.
They feel like they're a worthless human being who's just
going to die, and then that's it.
They're going to go to dust, or they're going to go to heaven,
(07:59):
but Of the mercy of God and theyfeel like they're powerless and
that they're unimportant and they don't recognize the
spiritual gifts that they have as a human.
And one of those spiritual giftsis to be able to pray and get
what you want. All humans have been given this
gift, whether they know it or not.
So let me show you how to use that.
(08:20):
Spiritual gift that you've got. Let me show you how to pray to
get exactly what you want. So here is my formula for the
most effective way to Pray number one, you have to decide
what you want and it has to be something specific, no more,
praying that God is with you or that you feel the blessings or
any of that stuff, you need to decide what specific thing you
(08:42):
want and you need to clarify it.Put in as much detail as you
possibly can. Number two, you need to decide
that you are going to see the answer to prayer materialize.
In your physical reality is going to manifest in your
physical reality, otherwise you're wasting your time.
The point in praying, if you don't even think you're going to
(09:02):
see it in the future, you need to assume that you are going to
get the answer because whatever you assume comes true.
That is the secret of prayer. It's all based on assumptions to
you need to get your assumptionsin the right place.
Number three you need to use your spiritual gift.
This is the time to use it. Your spiritual gift is called
(09:24):
your imagination. Imagination is not just for
kids, playing dress up and pretending to be a Certain job
imagination is for everybody. This is the way that we use our
god-given powers to be able to imagine that you have.
The thing you want is to create the thing you want.
This is how things are created by using your imagination.
(09:45):
You don't physically create them, but they are activated
using the power of your imagination, which is God's
power that you have as a human. And to do this, you need to
imagine for you already have thething.
You want and use as many of yourfive senses as you possibly can.
To imagine that. You already have what you want
(10:07):
and I'll give you a great example of this in a minute.
Number four, you need to expect to see it materialize.
You need to expect that you are going to see it.
So you need to keep it in the back of your mind.
And wonder, oh, is this the day when I'm going to see that thing
that I wanted remember, desires are promises.
So you've been promised that youwill receive the thing that you
(10:29):
did. Decided you wanted.
You expected it to happen. You've imagined you've already
got it and therefore it's been promised to you.
So you need to be asking yourself.
Where is it? I know it's coming.
But when is it coming? And where is it coming from?
This is the fun of life is not knowing the answers to those two
questions. But you can be certain that it
is coming. Now, I have a great example, a
(10:51):
great story to share with you byGregg Braden about how to pray
the right way to get exactly what you want.
So Is what Greg said back in theearly 90s, I was living in the
high desert of Northern New Mexico.
This was during one of the worstdroughts that the Southwest had
ever recorded the elders in the native Pueblos said that as far
(11:13):
back as they could remember. They've never gone so long
without rain David and Native friend of mine from one of
those. Nearby Pueblos called me one
summer morning and asked if I wanted to join him in visiting.
A place, his ancestors had builtWhere he could pray for rain and
I agreed. And soon we were hiking through
(11:34):
hundreds of Acres of high desertsage.
He led me to a place where therewas a stone circle that reminded
me of a medicine wheel. Each Stone had been placed
precisely by the hands of his ancestors.
Long ago. I had an expectation of what I
thought I was going to see but my friend simply removed his
hiking boots then stepped with his naked feet into the stone
(11:58):
circle. The first thing he did was to
honor all of its ancestors. Then he held his hands in a
prayer position in front of his chest and turned his back to me
and closed his eyes, less than aminute later.
He turned around and said I'm hungry.
Let's go and get a bite to eat surprised.
I said, I thought you came here to Pray For Rain, I had been
(12:22):
expecting to see some of the chanting and dancing, and you
looked at me and said no, if I prayed for rain the The rain
would never happen when I asked him.
Why he said? It's because the moment you pray
for something to occur, you've just acknowledged that it's not
existing in that moment. And you may actually be denying
(12:44):
the very thing that you'd like to bring forward in your
prayers. And Greg said, well, if you
didn't Pray For Rain, just now, when you close your eyes, what
did you do? And he said, when I close my
eyes, I felt the feeling of whatit feels like.
After there's been so much pain that I can stand with my naked
feet, in the mud of my Pueblo Village.
(13:06):
I smell the smells of rainwater rolling off the Earthen walls of
our home and I felt what it feels like to walk through.
A field of corn that is chest-high because of all that
rain that's fallen in that way. I plant a seed for the
possibility of that rain and I give thanks of gratitude and
appreciation and I said you meangratitude for the The rain that
(13:30):
you've created and he said, no we don't create the rain.
I'm giving thanks of gratitude and appreciation for the
opportunity to commune with the forces of creation.
So basically he's saying that heas a human, didn't create the
rain, but he is communicating directly with that power, that
does create the brain. And that's his own personal
(13:52):
belief, and opinion. But the message from this story
is that you don't pray for something to happen in the
future. So, Don't sit there and say, I
pray for the healing. In this lady, you experience in
your imagination that the healing has already happened.
So how do you do this specifically?
So this is how I pray and get exactly what I want.
(14:15):
Whether I'm praying for somebodyelse or whether I'm just praying
for myself. I pray in exactly the same way
and usually I know what I want myself because I have my own
desires and I just decide what Iwant.
So it's easier to pray for myself when it comes.
To praying for the people and I see somebody struggling, then I
often try and find out exactly what they want because in the
(14:36):
past when I've tried to assume that I know what they want, it's
turned out to be completely wrong and they actually want
something else. And the only time that I don't
pray for the very specific thingthat somebody wants is if I feel
like they aren't really aware ofhow powerful prayer is and
they're not asking for enough inthe holding themselves back
because maybe they don't feel worthy.
(14:57):
Maybe they feel too humble. To ask for such big things or
maybe they're doubting that big things would ever happen.
So in those cases, I would pray for more.
So if somebody was struggling with health complaint and they
said I want prayer that I have arelief from my health complaint
at the weekend because I've got this special event to go to and
I'm thinking in my head, she doesn't realize that she can get
(15:20):
complete healing from this health complaint.
It doesn't need to be just at the weekend so I will then pray
for something bigger for my friend.
If I get a general gist Most of it.
What it is? They actually want.
So when I've decided what it is,I want to pray for.
I remind myself how powerful prayer is.
And then I imagine a conversation where my friend has
(15:41):
told me that they no longer havethe struggle that they
previously had, or they have theexact result that they wanted.
And the reason why I always imagined a conversation is
because it's often very difficult to imagine that
somebody has been healed when you can't see inside their body.
So a Things that involve prayer.You can't actually see with your
(16:04):
eyes, so it's very difficult to imagine them with your senses.
You can't see that somebody's healed.
Sometimes you can see that somebody's healed but most often
than not, you wouldn't be able to tell by looking at them.
So it's much easier to imagine aconversation because you can
also get very specific with the conversation.
You can imagine exact words which mean an exact thing, so
(16:24):
you can imagine somebody else telling you that they are now
healed. And that means something very Be
specific. It means a lot more than just
looking at somebody and thinkingthey look very healthy.
That doesn't necessarily mean they've been healed.
So the conversation is very specific, very direct very, very
accurate and very, very powerful.
So that is the way in which I pray is often through imagining
(16:47):
a conversation and even when it comes to praying for myself, I
will also Imagine a conversationwith somebody else, but I
imagine that. I am telling somebody else that
I now have the results that I want and it works both ways.
Then I get into the place of expectancy and certainty.
I know that I am going to get ananswer to my prayer because my
imagination is God's power and our imagination creates things,
(17:12):
as long as I am certain about what I want.
Here's some mistakes to avoid. When it comes to prayer, don't
beg for the thing you want, you don't need to beg.
You don't set need to say, please please God, please give
me the thing. You want, I promise I will do
this. I promise.
I will do that. You don't need to do any of that
stuff. You don't even.
You need to ask a lot of people like to ask, they like to be
(17:32):
polite and that's because they think of God as something
separate from them. But when you think of, we are
all connected. We are all God.
We are all one. We are all one mind.
You don't need to ask yourself for permission, you just simply
decide and you take you take it in your imagination.
There is nobody and nothing thatcan stop you from imagining what
you want to imagine. You can literally be anywhere or
(17:55):
do anything in your imagination.You don't need to ask for
permission to. In something.
And there's a reason why we've been given that imagination, we
don't need to ask for permissionto access our imagination.
Our imagination is what creates a lot of people will still want
to ask God for permission to do something or ask God for help to
(18:15):
do something and they will neverbe able to get their head
around. The fact that we are all one,
they will never come to that realization and that's okay as
well because your belief system is what creates your assumptions
is. What creates So, if you believe
that to get results, you have toask God for help as long as you
imagine that, you have what you want.
(18:36):
It doesn't matter whether you'vejust decided that you have what
you want, or whether you've asked God for what you wanted,
as long as you imagine, you haveit.
That is what will give you the results but it's really not
necessary to ask for something that you want because you have
God's power directly because youare one with God and your
Consciousness is God's Consciousness.
Another mistake people make is to drone on and on On the
(19:00):
prayers. Don't need to be long.
The shorter the better as long as you don't contradict them.
It doesn't matter how short theyare.
They still effective. It's your imagination that
creates not. How many times you ask for
something. Another thing is don't feel like
you have to pray every single day.
Religiously don't feel like you have to wake up and say your
prayers or say your prayers before you go to bed.
(19:21):
It's not an insurance policy. That's not the point of prayer
because we have God's Consciousness.
Our thoughts come directly from God, and our conscious thought
go Go directly to God, it's justone Circle.
So every thought you think goes to God and everything that comes
into, your life comes from God. So you can think of it as a
two-way, communication thing, you can think of it like
speaking to a friend if you like.
(19:42):
But really it's so much deeper than that.
It's, you're always in direct communication because you can't
be apart from yourself that always with yourself.
And that's why God always hears you because God is, you is
inside you and is part of you. You are part of God, you're all
one. Another mistake people make.
It is that they use language that they wouldn't use in
everyday conversation, they try and make their prayers, very
(20:05):
formal using all of this religious language and there's
absolutely no need for any of that.
The best way to think thought iswith your own thoughts, just in
the way that you would talk to afriend.
That's the best way to think a thought and to pray a prayer.
Another thing is, you don't needto end your prayers by saying
something. Like in Jesus name, this is
(20:26):
something that comes directly from the Bible and a lot of
People think I need to pray thismagic prayer, these magic words.
And if I say the magic words in Jesus name, then it will make
the prayer happen. It will cast the spell so to
speak. But that's not what the Bible
was getting at. When it said, in my name, it
meant in my spirit in my likeness, and that means in my
(20:48):
imagination, you immerse yourself in it.
I imagining that you have what you want, so you pray for
something in my name. It means you pray for something
in my imagination. You Experience it in your
imagination and that is what activates the prayer not.
By saying magic words, the only magic thing is your imagination
(21:09):
and if you don't believe me thatthis works then try and put it
to the test. I suggest you put it to the test
with something that you're not really too concerned about your
not really bothered about but itwould be really nice to have.
Imagine that you have received abunch of flowers or imagine that
somebody has given you a box of chocolates or imagine that
somebody is giving you a compliment today.
A specific. Compliment.
(21:30):
Somebody said I really like the outfit you're wearing today.
I like your hair. Your face looks really nice
today. Imagine a specific compliment
that you want to receive and imagine you've already had it or
imagine telling somebody that you had a compliment.
You could tell somebody it was really interesting.
Today, somebody gave me a compliment on my outfit.
So that's how you activate your prayer, put it to the test.
(21:53):
That is a prayer. And within the next two weeks,
you should see your manifestation activate.
I see. Two weeks because these type of
manifestations usually happen very quickly.
And that's because you don't have any resistance to it and
you're not going to contradict it and block it.
And also, if I tell you, it willhappen within two weeks.
You're more than likely going tobelieve me and get that in your
(22:14):
imagination. And you're going to imagine that
you are receiving a compliment within two weeks.
And because you've imagined it within two weeks, then it
probably will happen within two weeks.
It's not that I can predict any time scales.
There aren't any time scales attached to anything, you
actually don't know. Know when something's going to
happen but in my experience things happen, sooner, rather
than later, if you aren't desperate to receive it into
(22:38):
your life and you haven't blocked it by saying it's not
going to happen. Because if you think about it,
every word that you say, to somebody else is also a prayer
because God can hear it, not that God has ears.
But because we are God and part of God, God hears everything.
So, when you are talking to a friend, and you are telling
somebody that something's not going to happen in the future or
(22:59):
something. What is going to happen in the
future? That is actually a prayer.
You are praying for that thing because you have imagined that
something bad is going to happenin the future because you're
telling a friend so you wouldn'tbe telling them something if it
hadn't already come from your imagination.
So think about that next time you're having a conversation
with somebody that your conversations with other people
are also prayers and you can useprayers to get anything you
(23:22):
want. You can pray for very specific
things. The most powerful prayer that I
ever prayed was a prayer. Pair of being able to live the
perfect day, the day that I really wanted and there was so
many things I wanted, and I prayed for them all and they all
happened and there's details in the description below about how
I did that. Another word for prayer is
(23:43):
manifestation. I know a lot of people who are
into prayer, don't like the wordmanifestation, but it to me, it
means a very similar thing. If I tell somebody I'm going to
pray for them. It means I'm going to manifest
for them. If I say to myself, I'm going to
pray for myself. It means I'm going to manifest
for I don't usually use the wordprayer when I'm talking about
(24:03):
being grateful or noticing that something bad has happened
because I like to think of prayer as activating my
spiritual Powers, which is my imagination.
And when I'm feeling grateful for something that's already
happened. I'm not necessarily using my
imagination and when I'm recognizing that something bad
has happened again, I'm not usually using my imagination if
I'm grateful for something that I want to happen in the future.
(24:26):
That is a prayer because I am Dating my imagination again.
If I'm feeling bad that I have done something wrong and then I
beat myself up and say I'm always doing these things that
is using my imagination because I'm assuming that I'm going to
keep doing these things in the future.
So that is a prayer. So to me a prayer is anything
(24:47):
where you've involved your imagination and you are
projecting something into the future that you want to happen
or even you don't want to happenbecause it works both ways.
You can pray for negative thingsas well as positive.
Hopefully, you'll become more aware of your thoughts and you
will start to pray for positive things in your life, rather than
negative things. So, if you want to learn more
(25:08):
about the power of prayer, or about how to manifest what you
want, which is another way to say a prayer, then go and check
out my video, what is manifestation and that explains
it all in great detail, and thatshould pop up on the screen
right now. If you'd like to see more videos

And now, it's your turn to go, and put your stamp.
