Introduction: Worship is a way God provided for Christians to come into His presence. Prayer is the way Christians come to receive what they need from God. Through prayer, Christians receive three things from God.

  • Needed guidance
  • Help
  • Strength for their lives
Christians who want God to hear their prayers must worship Him. Also, all Christians will benefit and be more effective when they set aside dedicated time each day to pray and read the Bible. The most powerful person in the world is the Christian who knows how to pray and have his prayers answered.
To be able to pray in this way, we must follow carefully the instructions of God’s word. These instructions are set out in this study.

Memory Work:

“If ye abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.( John 15:7)

Notes on Correct Answers – Study No. Seven

God is willing and able to answer prayer. The entire Bible- especially the New Testament – shows this is true ( See Matt.7:7-8). In fact, God is more willing to answer our prayer than men are to pray. But, to receive the answers to our prayers, we must meet God’s conditions.
“ Ask and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. For every one that asketh receiveth and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened” ( Matt. 7:7,8).

As sinners, we can go to God only through the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ. We depend upon Jesus, who is speaking for us right before the Father God. Based on this fact, we come to God through the name and the blood of Jesus Christ. The right approach is worship, thanksgiving, praise. The right character: truth, uprightness, righteousness, obedience ( all possible only as we abide ( live) in Jesus Christ. The right motive: for God’s glory, not to gratify our own lusts. Also right relationship with other people, especially those who close to us .

Praying according to the will of God, revealed in His word. We can claim by faith the answer to our prayers at the actual moment that we pray. “ Now in the accepted time” ( 2. Cor. 6:2). Regularity and persistence must be in our prayer- don’t give up. Luke 18:1 Jesus says, ‘” Men ought always to pray, and not to faint”.

Fervency, self-denial, commitment ( Devoting yourself prayer with a humble heart, alone with God). In all this, we cannot rely on just our own will, strength or understanding. We must have the supernatural help of the Holy Spirit. Our Heavenly will reward us openly. The result of our prayers answered is Joy- full joy.
