(The following is an excerpt from the Prayer Tool entitled: 
Unseen Power:  Building the House of Prayer)
"Unseen Power"*
BUILDING THE HOUSE OF PRAYER:  III

"The power of prayer is found in God's will.
God's will is found in God's word.  The more we know
God's word, the more effective we will be in prayer."
-Pastor Brad
Jesus is our model.  In John 17:6-26, we have the biblical example of how Jesus effectively prayed for His Church.  Many scholars have misinterpreted this prayer to be a petition for unity in the church.  Actually, Jesus only asks the Father for three specific things.  Unity is a bi-product of the fulfillment of these three requests:
-KEEP THEM IN THY NAME. -see John 17:11.
-KEEP THEM FROM THE EVIL ONE. -see John 17:15.
-SANCTIFY THEM IN THE TRUTH. -see John 17:17.
"That they may be perfected in unity" (John 17:23).
