WILL GOD PLEASE ANSWER MY PRAYERS? (3)

Post date: Oct 20, 2020 11:22:27 PM

“Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.” Mark 11:24-25. You believe in prayers, that is good; you believe that prayer works, that is great, but do you believe in your own prayers or you still have doubts in your prayers, and in the way you pray? Jesus said we should believe in our prayers as we also believe in Him that He will grant us what we have prayed for. I have seen Christians who do not believe in their prayers, they doubt their worthiness to stand before God and express their needs and tell Him their concerns. We are to believe in our God, believe in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, believe in our prayers, believe that He will grant our request, and live thereafter in expectation of the answers. “If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.” Matthew 21:22. Believe in the key to receiving what you ask.

Did you know that irrespective of profession, position, age, wealth, location, and nationality, every human being has needs? If there are no impossibilities, if things we strongly need and desire are not hard to come by, if there are no hindrances even with our strength, knowledge, wisdom, and wealth, if we do not in any way experience difficulties in having our ways and dreams, if we are unable to help or heal ourselves with the medications we have, and if there is no despair and hardship everywhere and in everything in the world, then no one will pray to God, no one will depend on God and no one will call on Him for anything. We pray because we have physical and spirituals needs we cannot meet by ourselves. We pray because we have strong confidence in whom we pray to. We pray because we have hope in the ability of whom we pray to. We pray because we know we will receive answers from our God who loves us and is always faithful to His words. We pray because there is no power beyond the power of whom we pray to, and we pray because a thousand years is like a day before our Lord while a day, a week, or a year of delay feels like its a thousand years in our eyes and in our understanding.

We pray because we are commanded by God, not by our senses or feelings to pray, and we pray because God had promised to answer when we pray, we pray because His promises never fail, and we pray because there is great evidence of answered prayers. God will not delay you the answer without reasons and He will not keep it longer than the day and time He had promised in His love and words. There is power in prayers irrespective of the language we use as long as we truly believe and know whom we pray to. The children of Israel left Egypt by the power of their prayers; they escaped the cruelty of their labor-masters and hard work by the power of prayers; they escaped the sights and punishments of Pharaoh by the power of prayers; they survived forty years of wondering in the wilderness by the power of prayers. God remembered the covenant He had with Abraham concerning them by the reason of their prayers; Moses was engaged and called in by God to confront Pharaoh and lead them out of Egypt by reason of their prayers. By reason of their prayers, God took them to the promised land with great power. Prayer works. As it worked for the children of Israel then, so will it work for you today. Pray and continue praying.

“Then the Lord said, I have seen how cruelly my people are being treated in Egypt; I have heard them cry out to be rescued from their slave drivers. I know all about their sufferings, and so I have come down to rescue them from the Egyptians and to bring them out of Egypt to a spacious land, one which is rich and fertile and in which the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites now live. I have indeed heard the cry of my people, and I see how the Egyptians are oppressing them. Now I am sending you to the king of Egypt so that you can lead my people out of his country.” Exodus 3:7-10. God saw what the children of Israel were going through, but it was their prayers that did the wonders. For prayers, Click here
