Be very sure!!
If God wants to get your attention, He will.
Getting out of bed on Sunday morning I was given a scripture verse.
Matthew 18: 19
Picking up my Bible I read...
"Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven."
"Well thank you Lord," I murmured after I read it, "I KNOW that."
I spend some time in prayer and got on with my day.
The next morning when I get out of bed, I was given this verse again.
Not sure it was the same one from the previous day, I looked it up..
Then I realised.
I have been praying earnestly for my eldest son, and God was telling me something.
I read it again.
And I GOT the KEYS .
I have underlined these for you...
I have often used the word of God when partitioning for a particular need so the first key didn't surprise me.
Then my eyes lit on the co-responding scriptures in other places.
As I began to read, more KEYS opened up to give me an understanding.
I want to share this with you, to equip you to understand why and how, prayers are answered.
Firstly, the pray must be within Gods Will.
So what is Gods Will? It is that NONE should perish!
He wants us to BELIEVE in the Lord Jesus Christ and be saved.
Is this too hard?
Apparently for some, it is.
2 Peter 3:9 John 16: 24
"The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is long suffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance."
We are to come directly to God, through Jesus.
This simply means that we pray to God and at the end of that prayer we say, In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
Or
In the Name of The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit, Amen.
"Until now you have not asked for anything in my name (Jesus).
Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete."
Matthew 21:22
"And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive."
Mark 11:24
Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
Mark 11:25-26
Forgiveness and Prayer
“And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses. But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses.”
If you cannot forgive, let go, and love someone, then your prayer is of no account. God knows your heart. Let go of any grievance, it won't hurt anyone else if you hang onto it, accept yourself.
If you have been abused badly.
You are not asked to return for more abuse.
But you are asked to forgive.
We are all called to do this, it is the key to good health and prosperity.
The Keys to Prosperity in Prayer:
1. Search your heart, and ask sincerely for forgiveness.
2. Pray within God's Will.
3. Have total Faith to believe what you pray for will happen.
4. Come directly to the Father, through Jesus the son.
5. Add strength to your prayer by praying with one or more other believers.
NOW PRAY WITH COMPLETE FAITH AND NO DOUBT.
God showed me this, and I believe it.
