Message Title: How do I know when my prayers are answered
Lord, we give you the praise, appreciate him for his wonderful hand upon us, since the commencement of this 21 days adventure. Now begin to ask him directly.
“Lord send me your word, one of the blessings of fasting is outbreak of light. Let your light break forth on me.”
Lord Jesus thank you for all the blessings we have enjoyed till present, your word declared that the last day is everyone’s day, therefore visit us today and let the encounter of today turn our life around. Blessed be your Holy Name, in Jesus precious name we have prayed. Give Jesus a Big hand of praise and you may be sited in his presence.
This morning we shall be dealing with an important message as we are rounding off our 21 days of fasting and prayer.
It’s important to know that a call to prayer is an invitation to an answer.
God will not demand that we should pray if he is not guaranteeing answers to our prayers.
Jer. 33:3. Mt. 7:7-8.
Prayer is here seen as a two-way communication Channel. Man prays and God answers.
Ex. 19:19.
For somebody, today will be your day of answers! It is discovered that many believers know how to pray but do not know when their prayer is answered.
INSTANCES OF THESE IN SCRIPTURES
1. Peter and the Disciples: Prayers are being offered for Peter’s deliverance but no one could perceive that prayers are answered. Acts 12:10-17. 1 Thessalonians 5:17.
2. Jesus. Jn 5:25
VITAL POINTERS THAT GUARANTEE THAT MY PRAYERS ARE ANSWERED
1. WHEN I PRAYED FROM MY HEART: When a man’s heart is involved, God’s hand is contacted. Every heart-rooted prayer will end up as a God-answered prayer. Jeremiah 29:13. James 5:16-18. [AMPC] & [KJV], When prayers emanate from the heart answers are guaranteed from God. We should not just pray with our lips, but offer our prayers wholeheartedly.
2. WHEN I PRAYED ACCORDING TO THE WILL OF GOD: I John 5:14-15. Every time we pray according to the word, we are guaranteed answers from heaven. This so important because God’s word is his bound. Heb 6:6-18, Psalm 89:34. Numbers 23:19. Any time you have a root in the word for any subject matter, you have committed God on a covenant line for an answer.
3. WHEN I HAVE PRAYED IN FAITH: Faith is a compulsory ingredient to secure divine involvement. Whatever will involve God must take faith. Mt 21:22. Whatever will take God will take faith, Where Faith is absent God is disconnected, whatever will involve God will involve Faith, If you wants to see God bring Faith, if you wants to involve God , include Faith, If you wants to attract God present Faith. Until faith is included, God is not connected. Our line of connectivity to divine involvement is Faith. James 1:6-8. Our is the vital requirement, not the length of the prayer that determines the availability of the answer but the faith available in the prayer. No one here will lack answers this season. Faith is the hand that take delivery of answers from God.
4. WHEN I HAVE PRAYED IN THE NAME OF JESUS: John 14:14, John 16:23-24. The name of Jesus is the staff of authority. And this so means that as far as that request made is concerned , when God sees your requests he sees Jesus. Simply put, as is seen in an organization , when the secretary types a letter and presented to a senior officer after which he signs the letter. So, when your prayers are offered unto God its no longer your prayers but Jesus’ prayers. You have presented your request; this means it’s more than the approval of Jesus but the ownership of Jesus. When the prayer is in his name the prayer answers are guaranteed.
5. WHEN YOU ARE NO MORE OFFENDED IN GOD: Mt. 1:16 When you are offended with your helper, you become helpless in the world. To be offended in your maker is to be grounded in life. No matter what the situation is, we must not allow ourselves to be offended in God. No matter what the situation is we must refuse to get offended in God. At every point in time keep reminding yourself he remains faithful.
6. WHEN I HAVE PRAYED TO THE POINT OF PEACE: Phil 4:6-7. The peace of God represents answers to our prayers. Paul the Apostle, Acts 27:22.
7. WHEN THE SPIRIT BEARS WITNESS IN MY HEART: Rm 8:16. A knowing in my heart that something has happened even nothing in the natural has changed.
WHAT SHOULD I DO BEFORE MY PRAYER GETS TO MY HAND PHYSICALLY?
1. KEEP GIVING THANKS TO GOD: 1 Thessalonians. 5:18. Make every prayer point a thanksgiving points and keep at it , don’t stop. Let your thanksgiving be intense this season and the answers that will come will baffle you.
