CONDITIONS TO ANSWERED PRAYER – Pt2
HOW TO RECEIVE ANSWERS TO YOUR PRAYERS series - Pt4
Mike Prah – October 24, 2021

“Four things let us ever keep in mind: God hears prayer, God heeds prayer, God answers prayer, and God delivers by prayer.” Dr. E. M. Bonds

 The prayer of the feeblest Christian who lives in the Spirit and keeps right with God is a terror to Satan. The very powers of darkness are paralyzed by prayer. No spiritualistic medium can succeed in the presence of a humble praying Christian. No wonder Satan tries to keep our minds fussy in active work till we cannot think in prayer.” Oswald Chambers

 “It matters little what form of prayer we adopt or how many words we use. What matters is the faith which lays hold on God, knowing that He knows our needs before we even ask Him. That is what gives Christian prayer its boundless confidence and its joyous certainty.” Dietrich Bonhoeffer

 Every great movement of God can be traced to a kneeling figure.” D. L. Moody

 “Those who look to God for help will be radiant with joy; no shadow of shame will darken their faces. In my desperation I PRAYED, AND THE LORD LISTENED; He saved me from all my troubles. For the angel of the Lord is a guard; He surrounds and defends all who fear Him.” Psalm 34:5-7 (NLT)

 FROM LAST WEEK …

 1. YOU MUST HAVE AN HONEST RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD

 2. YOU MUST HAVE A FORGIVING ATTITUDE TOWARD OTHER PEOPLE

THIS WEEK . . . 

3. YOU MUST BE WILLING TO BE GENEROUS WITH OTHERS

"Whoever shuts their ears to the cry of the poor will also cry out and not be answered” Proverbs 21:13 (NIV)

“You know the generous grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, so that by His poverty He could make you rich.” 2 Corinthians 8:9 (NLT)

“Right now you have plenty and can help those who are in need. Later, they will have plenty and can share with you when you need it. In this way, things will be equal.” 2 Corinthians 8:14 (NLT)

“What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you? You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God. When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.” James 4:1-3 (NIV)

“Love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because He is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.” Luke 6:35-36 (NIV)

“Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.” Luke 6:38 (GN)

 4. YOU MUST BELIEVE THAT GOD WILL ANSWER

“When you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do.” James 1:6-8 (NIV)

 5. YOU MUST PRAY IN JESUS’ NAME

 “I will do whatever you ask in My name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask Me for anything in My name, and I will do it.” John 14:13-14 (NIV)

 "You have not asked anything in My name.  Ask and you will receive and your joy will be complete."  John 16:24 (NIV)
