Answered Prayers
Did you know that God wants to answer your prayers? When Jesus died on the cross, God tore the veil from top to bottom. This opened the way so that through a relationship with Jesus, we can approach the throne of grace and bring our needs and our requests before the Lord.
God wants to answer your prayers. Jesus instructed His disciples repeatedly: ask and keep asking, seek and keep seeking, knock and keep knocking and the door will be opened to you. God will meet your needs.
Scripture also communicates what happens when our prayers are answered. In the book of John, we see Jesus saying (to paraphrase), “Our joy is made full and the Father is glorified in the Son every time a prayer is answered” (John 14:13, 16:24).
Think about that. Because of our relationship with Jesus, because of what He did for us on the cross, we can approach our Heavenly Father through Him. When we pray through Christ, and God answers our prayers, the Father is glorified through the Son.
God shows up through answered prayer, showing that He is Provider, He is Protector, He is Healer, He is our Wonderful Counselor. There is not an issue we are facing in our culture right now that prayer cannot address.
Also, prayer fills us up with joy when God answers those prayers. Every church ought to have people walking in the door every Sunday sharing freshly answered prayers of what God has done in their lives. If that happened, then our faith wouldn’t just be in the wisdom of men. Instead, as the Apostle Paul says, it will be in the power of God.
God wants to answer your prayers … so keep praying.
Prayer and petitions:
1: And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples. 2: And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. 3: Give us day by day our daily bread. 4: And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil. 5: And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves; 6: For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him? 7: And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee. 8: I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth. 9: And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. 10: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 11: If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? 12: Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? 13: If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? Luke 11:1-13 KJV http://bible.com/1/luk.11.1-13.KJV
