ANSWERED PRAYER
Definition: What you prayed (asked for, called for, requested) is answered by God inline with His Word which is His Will!
Is it God’s Will to answer our prayers? Answer: Emphatically Yes
Psalm 91:13-16 He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him;
Jeremiah 33:1-3 Call unto Me and I will answer thee,
Psalm 86:4-9 I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me…
What do you need to have effectual prayer with our Heavenly Father?
Answer: Glorification of our Father, JESUS Christ or God’s Word
John 15:3-7 If ye abide in Me, and My Words abide in you, you shall ask what ye will and it shall be done unto you by My Father in Heaven
John 16:23-27 Ask Jesus nothing, but ask the Father in Jesus Name
Colossians 3:16,17 Do all in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ
1 John 5:11-15 If we ask anything according to His Will (His Word) He hears us and we know that we have the petition desired of Him.
NOTE: The prayer to God must include the glorification of our Father, Jesus Christ or God’s Word (His Will) somewhere in the request to gain approval (be granted, heard, answered yes) from our Heavenly Father!
