In this episode of the Becoming Christlike Podcast, Pastor King James sits down with Pastor Amy Igweonu to demystify prayer and explore what it means to pray like Christ. Together, they discuss prayer as communion, fellowship and partnership with God.

This conversation looks at the attitude and motivation behind prayer, the pattern of the Lord’s Prayer, praying according to God’s will, persistence in prayer, forgiveness, the help of the Holy Spirit, praying in tongues and the prayer lifestyle of the early Church.

Prayer is not meant to be a religious performance, but a genuine relationship with the Father through Jesus Christ.
