How To Get Results From Prayer

By -
Prevailing in prayer and getting results has been a strong concern for many people throughout generations, and still, in today’s society the struggle continues. Hebrews 4:16 instructs us to “Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need”. Among Christians, even the most seasoned ministers must face this challenge.

The fact is, when we pray we want to get results.                                                                                   If results were not attainable, why bother to pray?

Prayer consists of two connections that come together; after the two come in contact with each other, they become one.  For example: Let’s say two people are having a conversation and there is a disagreement, until the two come together in agreement the conversation will never move from point A to point B.

 

God created Prayer as a channel for humans to communicate with Him via relationship. This is why He again instructs us in (Luke 18:1) “that men ought always to pray, and not to faint” He continually wants a relationship with us. The only way to build a long lasting relationship is through time. So then, the only way to have a long lasting and effective relationship with God is with time spent in prayer.

 

If you have a good relationship with someone you can communicate with them about anything? How important is it to have a good relationship with God?

 

How do we pray to a Holy God when we are so unjust? God would have to go against His own principles, and lower His standards and to be like us, unjust. But, of course that cannot happen. He says in (1 Peter 1:16) “Be holy, for I am holy” God desires to answer all of our prayers but it must be on His terms.


Here is God’s blueprint for receiving results out of prayer; follow the instructions, and without a doubt, the results you want will come:

1: Be a genuine child of God by accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and savior.

 

(John 1:12) ”But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name” (Romans 10:9) promises, “If you confess with your mouth Jesus asLord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will besaved.”

 

2: Read and study God’s word.

 

You cannot expect to just pray without knowing the promises of God. If so, your prayer will not be as effective and you will not have a desired result. (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 unto you”

 

 

3: Prayer is to God the Father only and not to anyone else. Not even to Jesus.

John 16:23) ”And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you” (John 2:5) “ His mother/Mary saith unto the servants, Whatsoever He/Jesus saith unto you, do it”

 


4: Thank God in advance because it’s already done.

This is all done through faith. (Hebrews 11:6) “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him” (Philippians 4:6) Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

 

             If your everyday activities are so                      consuming that you can’t find time to                implement these steps, you’re too                      busy with the wrong things. Do this                  and you shall reap the reward of your                labor.

AN ARMOR BEARER PRAYER

AN ARMOR BEARER PRAYER _____________________________________________________________ What is an armor bearer? In Scripture, an armor-bearer (also spelled armorbearer and armor bearer) was a servant who carried additional weapons for commanders, in others words , a protector. In the church, an armor bearer duties range widely, but generally speaking, a church armor-bearer carries the “armor” of a church leader, such as the leader’s Bible “the sword of the Spirit” A church armor-bearer essentially serves as a church leader’s bodyguard. Armor Bearers are not elected but are appointed by the Pastor from congregants who are in good standing, who are tithers, and who love the church and the Shepherd. The main function of one who is designated as an armor bearer is that of service, for the biblical armor bearer was much more than a hired hand. An armor bearer was a person who undoubtedly spent many years, if not one’s entire life, in the leader’s service. If you area in such positi

Do People Really Have Angels Assigned To Them?

It is said that angels are real and living among us. The question is: What do you believe? Is it possible that the same person that you passed almost every day on the street corner asking you for a dime or a quarter is an angel? Is it possible that your seventh grade teacher, who always seemed to touch your heart whenever she spoke, is an angel? How about when you were feeling not so good, and when you prayed, you felt something come and touch you gently, was that an angel? In order for God to work between the seen world and the unseen world, angels are the bridge that works between both worlds. In other words, angels are Heavenly beings sent by God to convey His message. This might be a hard fetch for some, but the truth of the matter is, in scriptures, angels are said to be guardians sent by God to watch over the human race, to deliver His message, to guard and protect us from danger, and to do battle with other spiritual beings on our behalf. They are primarily spiritual be
