MATTHEW 6 : 5 WHEN YOU FAST AND PRAY
MATTHEW 6 : 5 And when thou prayest, thou shall not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogue and in the corner of the streets, that the may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
MATTHEW 6 : 6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet , and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy father which is in secret, and thy father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
Our LORD JESUS taught us in this very bible verse never to do like the hypocrites do, so we will not be like them.
Don't deliberately stand in a public place to pray so people can see you.
Don't go to church and pretend to be a prayer warrior when you cannot pray at home.
Don't prove to people that you know how to pray.
As the children of the Almighty God we are to go into our closet and pray to GOD. Your prayers should be between you and GOD . Do not advertise your prayers , learn to go secret when it comes to the time of prayer.
Our GOD is in secret and our prayers should be made in secret to him and not in public places. If anything borders you, go into your room or into a place you can be alone and call upon GOD and He will see your sincerity and He will have mercy on you and answer your prayers.
Any prayer you stand to pray just to impress everyone around you is a waste of prayer because you are deceiving yourself. You're not spiritual enough when you go praying to impress people. You are not spiritual enough when you pretend to pray whenever you're around people.
You can deceive people but you can't deceive GOD. You can lie to man but you can't lie to GOD. You can pretend before men but you can't pretend to GOD. You can't get anything from GOD with pretence.
GOD sees your heart and He knows what is in there.
