Praying According To His Will


   

Praying according to the will God has to do with the way you ask. Some people believe that if they did not receive answer to their prayers it means that they prayed outside the will of God, but it is not so. There is nothing God cannot do for you, and nothing is too small to ask and nothing is too much. 1 John 14-15,”and this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he heareth us: and if we know that he hear us , whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.” This means that praying according the will of God determines if your prayers can be heard of God. In verse 15, you can notice that the Bible says “whatsoever we ask” meaning that you can ask anything and it will be done for you. So there is no limit to the thing God can do for you, even if it does not exist, he can make it for you.

                                              Do you want to receive answers to your prayers?
     Here is the secret of receiving answers to your prayers, John 15:7, “if ye abide in me and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done to you.” Jesus did not say you shall ask the will of God, He said you shall ask what “YOU WILL.” What is abiding in Jesus Christ? It means accepting the Lordship of Jesus Christ in your life. His word abiding in you means accepting his words as the only reality in your life. So, if you want to pray according to his will, you must accept him into your life.
 Another thing is that you must have faith in God. Mark 11:22-24,”…have faith in God, for verily I say unto you, that whosoever shall say unto this mountain, be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore I say unto you, what things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.” The good news is that anyone who has received the new life in Christ Jesus can pray and receive an answer to anything he prayed about. Nothing is impossible to him that believes.

How to follow Jesus

                  Following Jesus is not going to church always, it is not praying always, it is not reading the bible always etc. although, all these activities are good but they do not make one a follower of Christ Jesus. Matthew 19:16-21, the rich young ruler was perfect in all of them yet something was missing which was the most important one. In the book of John 3:1 Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jew, was disqualified in spite of his knowledge of the law.              What is following Jesus? So, what is following Jesus? Following Jesus Christ is living by the word of God. Luke 4:4 and Jesus answered him saying man shall not live by bread alone, by every word of God. This is living your life according to the direction of the Word of God. It is abiding in the word of God or Jesus. John 15:4-5.     Steps to follow  ·          You must believe in Jesus Christ, John 3:16   ·          You must be born again John 3:3 ·          You must have faith in God. Heb 11:1-6 ·

Salvation is for the Living

     Some people have asked if Christians could intercede on behalf of a person who died without receiving Christ, so such a person could go to heaven instead of hell. The answer is No. “For the grave cannot praise thee, death cannot celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth. The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth” Isaiah 38:18-19. Anyone who didn’t receive Christ while on earth stands condemned. In John 3:18, Jesus said, “… but he that believeth not is condemned already….”   So, the one who dies without knowing Christ, died in condemnation, and it would be of no use praying for such a one to go to heaven because the choice of whether to make heaven or not is personal one.   It’s important to realize that the salvation message is for the living and not the dead. You can only receive Christ as Lord and Saviour in response to the Gospel while you’re still in the earth. Jesus

Keys to Effectual Prayers

  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… (Lake 11:1)   When you study the lives of the early prophets and the apostles, even the Lord Jesus Christ, you’d find they were very effective in their prayer lives. In our opening verse, disciples asked Him to teach them how to pray because they observed His prayers' effectiveness. So, it’s not just enough to pray; it’s the effectual, fervent prayer of the righteous man that produces results.   There’re scriptural rules and guidelines for effectual prayers. There are some things you have to pray about continually, you intercede continually; and there’re things that you pray for only once because if you keep praying about them, you’re getting into unbelief, rather than applying faith.    Meanwhile, there’re things you’re not even supposed to pray for, because no matter how long you pray about them, God is not going to respond becaus
