God Answers Prayer!!!
During three separate services I taught a series of lessons “Why Did He Say NO?” trying to help some understand why a prayer they might have prayed went apparently unanswered. This service will be about something totally different Answered Prayer!
Romans 8:26-28KJV
26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. 28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
The Holy Spirit helps our infirmities He makes intercessory prayer for us, All things work together for good to them that love God!

3. Faith (Believing faith) after all what man can serve Him that doesn’t believe Him
Mark 11:24KJV
24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
4. Righteousness
James 5:16KJV
16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
5. Obedience
1 John 3:22KJV
