proseuche

enteuxis


A1. Pray, Prayer [Verb]

euchomai "to pray (to God)," is used with this meaning in 2_Cor_13:7; 2_Cor_13:9, RV, "pray" (AV, "wish"); James_5:16; 3_John_1:2, RV, "pray" (AV, wish). Even when the RV and AV translate by "I would," Acts_26:29, or "wished for," Acts_27:29 (RV, marg., "prayed"), or "could wish," Rom_9:3 (RV, marg., "could pray"), the indication is that "prayer" is involved.

A2. Pray, Prayer [Verb]

proseuchomai "to pray," is always used of "prayer" to God, and is the most frequent word in this respect, especially in the Synoptists and Acts, once in Rom_8:26; Eph_6:18; Php_1:9; 1_Tim_2:8; Heb_13:18; Jude_1:20. For the injunction in 1_Thess_5:17, see adialeiptos_under_CEASE.


A3. Pray, Prayer [Verb]

erotao "to ask," is translated by the verb to pray in Luke_14:18,19; Luke_16:27; John_4:31; John_14:16; John_16:26; John_17:9,15,20; in Acts_23:18, RV, "asked" (AV "prayed"); in 1_John_5:16, RV, "should make request" (AV "shall pray"). See erotao_under_ASK.

B2. Pray, Prayer [Noun]

proseuche akin to proseuchomai, denotes (a) "prayer" (to God), the most frequent term, e.g., Matt_21:22; Luke_6:12, where the phrase is not to be taken literally as if it meant, "the prayer of God" (subjective genitive), but objectively, "prayer of God." In James_5:17, "He prayed fervently," RV, is lit., "he prayed with prayer" (a Hebraistic form); in the following the word is used with deesis: Eph_6:18; Php_4:6; 1_Tim_2:1; 1_Tim_5:5; (b) "a place of prayer," Acts_16:13,16, a place outside the city wall, RV.


B3. Pray, Prayer [Noun]

deesis primarily "a wanting, a need" (akin to deomai), then, "an asking, entreaty, supplication," in the NT is always addressed to God and always rendered "supplication" or "supplications" in the RV; in the AV "prayer," or "prayers," in Luke_1:13; Luke_2:37; Luke_5:33; Rom_10:1; 2_Cor_1:11; 2_Cor_9:14; Php_1:4 (in the 2nd part, "request"); Php_1:19; 2_Tim_1:3; Heb_5:7; James_5:16; 1_Pet_3:12.

B4. Pray, Prayer [Noun]

enteuxis is translated "prayer" in 1_Tim_4:5; see INTERCESSION.

(3) "Prayer is properly addressed to God the Father Matt_6:6; John_16:23; Eph_1:17; Eph_3:14, and the Son, Acts_7:59; 2_Cor_12:8; but in no instance in the NT is prayer addressed to the Holy Spirit distinctively, for whereas the Father is in Heaven, Matt_6:9, and the Son is at His right hand, Rom_8:34, the Holy Spirit is in and with the believers, John_14:16,17.

"Prayer is to be offered in the Name of the Lord Jesus, John_14:13, that is, the prayer must accord with His character, and must be presented in the same spirit of dependence and submission that marked Him, Matt_11:26; Luke_22:42.

"The Holy Spirit, being the sole interpreter of the needs of the human heart, makes His intercession therein; and inasmuch as prayer is impossible to man apart from His help, Rom_8:26, believers are exhorted to pray at all seasons in the Spirit, Eph_6:18; cp. Jude_1:20; James_5:16, the last clause of which should probably be read "the inwrought [i.e., by the Holy Spirit] supplication of righteous man availeth much' (or 'greatly prevails' ischuo, as in Acts_19:16,20).

"None the less on this account is the understanding to be engaged in prayer, 1_Cor_14:15, and the will, Col_4:12; Acts_12:5 (where 'earnestly' is, lit., 'stretched out') and so in Luke_22:44.
"Faith is essential to prayer, Matt_21:22; Mark_11:24; James_1:5-8, for faith is the recognition of, and the committal of ourselves and our matters to, the faithfulness of God.

"Where the Jews were numerous, as at Thessalonica, they had usually a Synagogue, Acts_17:1; where they were few, as at Philippi, they had merely a proseuche, or 'place of prayer,' of much smaller dimensions, and commonly built by a river for the sake of the water necessary to the preliminary ablutions prescribed by Rabbinic tradition, Acts_16:13,16." [ From Notes on Thessalonians by Hogg and Vine, pp. 189,190.]

About

apostolicrevelation.blogspot.com is one of the world's fast growing popular Bible study websites, attracting thousands of visitors daily from all around the world. We follow a unique revelatory apostolic seer writing from the Scripture with Rapture taking place any time after Mid-Point but before Great Tribulation begins through Antichrist, we use dispensational interpretation of Scripture and believe the Bible teaches salvation by grace through faith alone, and the eternal security of believers. We will focus mainly on apostolic teaching that will edify, equip and empower the saints to reach their full potential in Christ Jesus. Our goal is the edification, evangelism and empowerment of the last day Church that the Lord Jesus Christ is raising up before His triumphant return!
