One thing that I have noticed here is that some people seem to have a hard time during corporate prayer to pray out loud. And some who pray out loud only speak in tongues out loud. They pray quietly in their native tongue. This is not how we do it.
Corporate prayer is different than private prayer. We pray about different things in public than we do in private. Corporate prayer, like what we do before service, or on Saturday morning, is a time to join together for common and joint appeals to God for His help. We need God to move for us, our families, and our church. We can pray for specific needs. We can pray for individual people by name. We just leave out very intimate personal issues for a private time of prayer.
One thing about corporate prayer is it is loud. We ought to pray out loud, and we out to be heard. There is a fire that burns in this kind pf praying. There is a zeal that is felt in this kind of praying. I believe it is evidence of being Spirit filled to pray out loud in public, just like worshipping out loud during a church service.
If you don't know how to pray like this, find a place kind of close to pastor, and listen to him pray. Then ask the Lord to fill you with the Holy Spirit, speaking in other tongues. Join the Pentecostal throng!
