in HeartChurch3 years ago

Good evening to you all, I sincerely greet every wonderful soul in this great community:Heartchurch please great house this is my first time in posting here, I really need your support to do well God bless you all

(1JOhn 5:14)
And this is the confidence that we have
In him,that, if we ask any thing
According to his will, he heareth us

(Ephesians 6:18)
Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the spirit,and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.

I want you to notice that it says,"praying always", not "praying sometimes." It parallels what Jesus said in

(Luke18:1)
Men ought always to pray,and not to faint."

If you're a prayering Christian, you'll be an effective Christian; effective through the power of the holy Spirit. Jesus said to his disciples in

(John 15:5)
Without me ye can do nothing

So in prayer you should maintain that connection in your communication; you remain open to his will and bring others to him in your heart, as you pray for them.

Some think prayer is the response of the helpless or the weak to insurmountable and overwhelming challenges; no! Prayer, primarily, is fellowship with God; and even though when one is oppressed or suffers injustice, he should pray, that isn't the reason for prayer.

Prayer is joyful Respond of the one who, with a heart full of faith, trusts in the living God. Prayer is a response, more to God's Invitation to pray, than the response to a situation. He invited us to pray, because he intended to answer. So, the greatest part of prayer isn't the prayer itself; it's the answer.

We haven't had a great prayer time if we didn't receive answers to our prayer! Irrespective of what we have said in prayer, it's God's response that truly matters.

Thanks be unto God! Because we're ordained to receive answers when ever we pray, this is because he said if we pray according to his will-His rule for prayer, which is prayering in the name of Jesus-He hears us.

If he heard us, then he answered us, that's the beauty of prayer.

If you want to know more about me, you can go through my introduction post. Thank you.
