By Bishop J.G. Kramer ~We all want our prayers answered. But few of us really know how God intends for us to pray. Many of us pray and hope for answers. But God meant for us to pray and get answers. To do this we must know the type of prayer to use in any given situation. Jesus instructed us on how to pray. Have we studied the word?
The New Testament warns us, of course, about spiritual impostors. Sometimes, these "wolves" are there to introduce subtly false doctrine. But just as often, it seems, these spiritual carnivores hold to true doctrine, at least on the surface. But they use this doctrine and service for predatory ends.
The UFCCM Sacred College Of Bishop Symposium will include Bishops, Overseers, Apostles and their spouses to gain in-depth knowledge as it relates to the specific and fundamentals of the office of the bishopric and to prepare overseers for the same.
WORDS FROM THE INTERNATIONAL PRESIDING PRELATE

Travailing In Prayer
July 18, 2007 • By Bishop H.A. Tindal, Sr.

Our translation of the word travail has many meanings in the Scripture, but the underlying idea seems to be one that requires much labor and quite frankly pain.Isaiah 23:4 " Be thou ashamed, O Zion: for the sea hath spoken, even the strength of the sea,saying,I travail not, nor brought forth children, neither do I norish up young men, nor bring up virgins."   Travail from the CHIYL-(kheel) to writh in pain, to bear to bring forth. Jeremial4:31 Travail from CHALAH-(khaw-law) to be rubbed or worn, to be weak, sick, be grieved, intreat, put to pain,pray,make prayer, be sorry, women in travail. 
 
Check out Genesis 38:27, Exodus18:8, Ecclesiastices1:13, Isaiah 53:11.
In the New Testament see Galatians 4:19 "..of whom I travail..."   ODINO-(odee-no) experience the pain of parturition, travail in birth 1 Thessalonians 2:9 "for ye remember, brethren, our labor and travail:..." MOCHTHOS-(mokh-thos) toil,sadness,painfulness, travail. There are others references to travail such as Romans8:28, John 16:21 etc. The idea is that we must really get down and cry our to Yahew, the Lord God, until we have the assurance that our prayers are answered. It can mean going without sleep, sometimes all night long. Jesus often prayed throughout the night. Do you really want to be "Just like Him?"
Let me know what you think about travailing in prayer. I have more thoughts and Scriptures on this important but infrequently talked about subject. When we prevail in the heavenlies we realyze victories in the earthlies! Think about this, after the labor comes the birth. After the travail comes forth the Victories!

In this service the official transition of the duties of Presiding Bishop of the Northeast Jurisdiction to His Holiness Bishop Henry A. Tindal, Sr. was smoothly and graciously endorsed and sanctioned.

What is travailing prayer? It is crying in the Spirit which can take on several different manifestations. Before discussing this let us look at the Bible definition found in John 16:20 22: "Verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is
