God answers prayer
God answers prayer
Jesus taught us that the answered prayer depended upon:
1. Faith
Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
2. Perseverance
“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.
3. Praying in Jesus Name
If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.
4. Praying in the will of God
Open my eyes, that I may behold
wondrous things out of your law.
that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him,
If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind.
All of these conditions are summed up in the central one:
“If you abide in me…ask whatever you will, and it shall be done for you.” John 15:7
It is only the woman or man given up to live as entirely in Christ and for Christ as the branch in the vine and for the vine that these promises can come true.
