Divine Conditions Revealed

APPROACHING GOD: God moves only in response to the honoring of His only begotten Son who died on the cross, was buried, and raised again as the propitiation (atoning sacrifice) for the sins of mankind – to bring us to Himself (2 Cor 5:19, 21; 1 John 2:2). On no other basis can we approach God successfully – for salvation and answered prayer. Nothing could be a clearer message from Heaven presented in the New Testament Scriptures. If you haven’t truly repented and believed on the LORD Jesus Christ, confessing Him as your LORD and Savior and been born again, God is waiting… and will hear only that prayer from you, a sinner. This is where it all begins… Today is your day friend. Go here and let it be settled: Making Peace with God

When we pray in the name above all names, let us rest in the NAME of Jesus, the only reason why any SOUL CAN BE SAVED AND prayer can be answered! Matthew 11:28-30; John 14:13-14; 16:23-24. amen?

Born again believers are to ask God for the things we need and desire. This is to remind, to keep us connected to Him….. In Matthew 6 we see this again were Jesus says that “your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.” (Matthew 6:32)

Then in the same message He tells us we have to “ask” to receive 7:7.

James says: “Ye have not because ye ASK not.” (James 4:3)

Do you want your prayers answered? Do you want to maintain a constantly clear line to God? Would you like to possess the confidence that your prayers are being heard and answered? Well, in the next few minutes any gray area which may still linger in your thoughts will be cleared up by God’s message on clear prayer communications.

Believers don’t need to “make a wish” because they have a God who answers all their prayers! The Almighty Himself beckons His children to simply “ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.”

“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. 24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.” John 16:23-24

THE NAME OF JESUS

WHY DOES GOD ANSWER PRAYER????? What’s the only reason, basis?

Jesus is the righteous One and we are blessed because of Him and not because we use a formula or His principles selfishly to get God to answer a prayer. All of the blessings of God are found “in Christ.” Read Colossians 2:3-10 closely and also Ephesians 1:3-4. It’s because of Him alone – the One who bore our sins on that cross – that we are blessed and able to have fellowship with the Father and have our prayers answered. – Of Christ, the Bible says: “For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.” (2 Corinthians 1:20)

Beware: Jesus is the righteous One and we are blessed because of Him and not because we use a formula or His principles selfishly to get God to answer a prayer. That’s witchcraft!

RIGHTEOUSNESS AND PRAYER

“Sin is an awful thing, and one of the most awful things about it is the way it hinders prayer, the way it severs the connection between us and the source of all grace and power and blessing. Anyone who would have power in prayer must be merciless in dealing with his own sins, ‘If I regard iniquity in my heart the Lord will not hear me’ (Ps. 66:18). So long as we hold on to sin or have any controversy with God, we cannot expect Him to heed our prayers. If there is anything that is constantly coming up in your moments of close communion, that is the things that hinder prayer: put it away.” R.A. Torrey, How to Pray, p. 79-80

The prayer of those who ignore God’s Word, is an “abomination.”

When praying to God is an abomination: “He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law (Word), even his prayer shall be abomination.” (Proverbs 28:9) The LORD counts it as an “abomination” when someone who ignores or refuses to hear His Word comes to Him wanting something. Perhaps we could think about this in terms of an earthly dad whose child refuses to obey the house rules and yet comes to that dad asking for things like an allowance. Is there not something wrong in our hearts when we want God to answer our prayers and yet we aren’t interested in hearing and obeying His Word?

“Prayer will become effective when we stop using it as a substitute for obedience.” – A. W. Tozer

Make no mistake, answered prayer is contingent upon our current standing with the Almighty. Oh, the flesh (sinful nature) doesn’t want to face this truth because in its deceitful disposition it wants to vainly imagine that it can live the way it wishes (retaining sin) and still receive the blessings of God (Jonah 2:8). There should be no mystery to the Church though as for answered and unanswered prayer, for God reveals the keys to answered prayer in His Word. Let us take a look.

Who does God reward?

“The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.” Psalms 18:20

The Psalmist stated that “The Lord rewarded” him:

according to his righteousness
according to the cleanness of his hands
“If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:” Psalms 66:18

Why would the Lord shut His holy ears to one of His very own, like the Psalmist?

“And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.” Mark 11:25-26

As seen in the verse above, unforgiven sin is the hindrance to prayers. Without God’s forgiveness, one has no access to Him. God has forgiven us and we are to return that same mercy to others. Jesus said that we are to pray “And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.” (Matthew 6:12)

Jesus made it clear that we are not to go before God in prayer or any kind of worship until we have made things right with our fellow man/neighbor.

“Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.” Matthew 5:23-24

There are some who attempt to cover all sins by a false “grace” message, supposing that God somehow automatically looks over the sins of those who have been born again (had one moment of saving faith). This teaching is easy to embrace. It sounds good and caters to the flesh which does not want to endure sound doctrine (2 Tim. 4:3). But, is this what the Scriptures teach as the nature of God? The fact is, that all who have been apprehended by the grace of God are responsible to “deny ungodliness and worldly lusts…live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world.” (Titus 2:11-12) No person who has been born again and yet is currently out of fellowship with God through sin, can expect to have any prayer answered.

God’s nature is revealed in Scripture, not through man’s philosophies which have been sown in our hearts (Col. 2:8-9). Let not your heart be deceived, God is holy and requires the same from all who will remain in fellowship with Him (Lev. 19:2; Matt. 5:48, Heb. 12:14…). We must continue in His light, the clearly revealed will of God, found in the Bible, to continue to be cleansed by His blood (1 John 1:7, 2:3-5…). This is only possible by His grace.

“One great question for us to decide, if we would have power in prayer is, Is God absolutely first? Is He before wife, before children, before reputation, before business, before our own lives? If not, prevailing prayer is impossible. God often calls our attention to the fact that we have an idol by not answer our prayers, and thus leading us to inquire as to why our prayers are not answered; and so we discover the idol, put it away and God hears our prayers.” R.A. Torrey, How to Pray, p. 81

May our hearts never forget that “It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God” (Heb. 10:31), and that we are to “be thou in the fear of the Lord all the day long.” (Proverbs 23:17)

Psalms 24

Who? Who? Who?

(Q) Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place?

(A) He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation. This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah.” Psalms 24:3-6

God’s mercy and compassions are a sure thing for us, as we conform to His will, His Word, by the enablement of the Holy Ghost. (Rom. 8:13-14,29; Lam. 3:19-26…)

CONDITIONS FOR ANSWERED PRAYER

“If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.” John 15:7

There are two conditions for answered prayer that Jesus reveals here:

1) Abiding in Him

Abiding in Christ is remaining in relationship with Him and in obedience to His teachings in your daily life. Have you told Him you love Him lately? Do you talk to Him in prayer daily? Do you know what He taught?

The second condition Christ mentioned for answered prayer is:

2) His words abiding in us

Beloved, God wants His Words in your heart. In John 15:7 above, Jesus said that His Words are to be found in your heart. To what degree are they resident in you, projecting His image upon your heart? What communion does your heart enjoy with the Word/will of God? What effort are you making to store up His eternal Words in your heart from whence all the issues of your life flow? (Prov. 4:23)

“For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God. And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.” 1 John 3:20-22

Note verse 20 which states: “For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.” Friend of the Savior, God is greater than our occasionally condemning hearts which sometimes indict us with that which has been forgiven by God. God is greater than these infringements upon His perfect forgiveness which is provided through that precious blood that flows eternally fresh.

“The third hindrance to prayer is found in Ezekiel 14:3, ‘Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart, and put the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their face: should I be enquired of at all by them?’ Idols in the heart cause God to refuse to listen to our prayers. What is an idol? An idol is anything that takes the place of God, anything that is the supreme object of our affection. God alone has the right to the supreme place in our hearts. Everything and everyone else must be subordinate to Him.” R.A. Torrey, How to Pray, p. 80

THE CLEAN HEART WHICH GOD HONORS

Under the new covenant, because of the precious blood of Christ, our hearts should be continually sprinkled clean from all guilt through the blood of the everlasting covenant. The only reason they wouldn’t be currently cleansed would be due to us not going before God afresh. Here’s the divine plan for you:

“Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus…Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.” Hebrews 10:19,22

Here we see that the blood of Jesus will sprinkle our hearts from the consciousness of sin. Here is more evidence of such:

“How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge (cleanse) your conscience from dead works (past sins) to serve the living God?” Hebrews 9:14

“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” 1 John 1:9

True repentance of sin before God releases His forgiveness and cleansing upon the teachable heart.

Here is the confidence that God has ordained us to walk in in approaching Him in prayer:

“And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing 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.” 1 John 5:14-15

PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING

Thank You Father that You have made the way for me to be redeemed and continually cleansed through the precious blood of Jesus my Lord. Make my heart to never draw away from but always to You in time of need for mercy and grace to be forgiven and cleansed. Thank You for hearing my prayers and answering them because of Jesus. I love You.

“For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.” 1 Peter 3:12

“Be careful (anxious) for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgivinglet your requests be made known unto God.” Philippians 4:6

How to be Ready for the Return of Jesus [podcast]

“Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.” Luke 12:40 Even if we could know the exact moment of Christ’s return, that’s not important in comparison to knowing Him and being ready for His return! Many who once knew Him will not be ready as Jesus taught in His parable of the 10 virgins of Matthew 25:1-13. WHATEVER it takes to be of a humble and contrite spirit, do it. There’s NO-thing you can’t fast out of your life. Read that again. Isaiah 58. Never mind the excuses, the “buts”…. […]

The Book of Jude Narrated [podcast]

The Book of Jude:

Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called: ²mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied.

³Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. ⁴For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁵I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. ⁶And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. ⁷Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. ⁸Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities. ⁹Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.

¹⁰But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves. ¹¹Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core. ¹²These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; ¹³raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.

¹⁴And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, ¹⁵to execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him. ¹⁶These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men’s persons in admiration because of advantage.

¹⁷But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; ¹⁸how that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. ¹⁹These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit. ²⁰But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, ²¹keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. ²²And of some have compassion, making a difference: ²³and others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

²⁴Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, ²⁵to the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.

Psalm 27 Narrated [podcast]

“One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.” Psalms 27:4 This psalm epitomizes the worship-filled heart of the only man in HIS-story that the LORD declared is “a man after mine own heart.” David’s heart for the LORD is captured in this psalm for all of us to witness, to covet, to seek, and to do. “I have found David the son of Jesse, a man […]

The Song of Moses: God’s Favor upon His People [podcast]

“And Moses spake in the ears of all the congregation of Israel the words of this song, until they were ended.” Deuteronomy 31:30

Everything we read of the children of Israel was pointing to Christ and to His perfect salvation He would later come and accomplish and bestow upon His beloved people, the body of Christ which is “the Israel of God.” (Galatians 6:16) And so this song is written to us (Romans 15:4; Corinthians 10:11).

At the end of his days, at the end of the 5 books he penned, God gives us through Moses a summation of His salvation work among His beloved people.

“He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye. 11 As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings: 12 So the LORD alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him. 13 He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock; 14 Butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape.” Deuteronomy 32:10-14

“32:10-14 The birth and childhood of the nation of Israel are described in verse 10. After the Exodus from Egypt, God guided, instructed, and preserved His people with the love of a mother eagle (v. 11). There was no foreign god who had a part in Israel’s preservation. Why then should the nation turn to idolatry and ascribe the goodness of Jehovah to another? Beginning in verse 13, the song is prophetic. He brought them into the blessings of the Promised Land.” Believer’s Bible Commentary

“Deuteronomy 32:10
a    [He found him in a desert land …] The sevenfold preservation of Israel:
1.    God found (literally, sustained) him in the wilderness (Deu_32:10).
2.    He led him around (Deu_32:10-12).
3.    He instructed him (Deu_32:10).
4.    He kept him as the apple (pupil) of His eye.
5.    He preserved him from idolatry (Deu_32:12).
6.    He exalted him among the nations (Deu_32:13).
7.    He gave him material prosperity (Deu_32:13-14).
b    [apple of his eye] Hebrew: ’iyshown (H380), the dark pupil of the eye; the hole, gate, or door of the eye (Psa_17:8; Pro_7:2)” Dake

“Deuteronomy 31:30-32:14
MOSES’ SONG: THE LORD’S FAVOR UPON ISRAEL
The song of Moses, like the fabled song of the swan, was his last and sweetest. It is probably the noblest ode in the whole compass of the Bible, and is the source from which subsequent singers derived suggestions for their noblest outbursts. The marginal references prove how deeply it dyed the national sentiment.

It excels in the names and designations of the Almighty. He is the Rock: Deu_31:4; Deu_31:15; Deu_31:18; Deu_31:30; Jehovah: Deu_31:6; Father: Deu_31:6; the Most High: Deu_31:8; God: El, the strong, Deu_31:15, etc. What a study are the names of God, scattered through the Bible! Each was coined to meet some need of the human soul. What the rocks of the desert are to its shifting sands God is amid the changes of this mortal existence.

This earlier part of the song is very tender. We are God’s portion; the apple of His eye; as young eaglets, whom the mother-bird is carefully teaching to fly, the favored recipients of God’s richest gifts, Deu_31:13, etc.” FB Meyer

Notice the descriptive language, the metaphors—how the LORD illustrates how He loves, protects, and provides for His people. In Scripture, the LORD uses imagery to communicate truth.

“Moses’ song and what our LORD reveals in this message, is such a beautiful picture of God finding us in our hopeless, miserable, and lost state. He pulls us out of the miry clay and gives us His supply of grace. He then clothes us with His righteousness, seating us in heavenly places in Christ and surrounding us with His care and protection. God’s love and goodness to us.” Karen Cochran

“He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High

shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will

say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my

God; in him will I trust. 3 Surely he shall deliver thee

from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome

pestilence. 4 He shall cover thee with his feathers,

and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall

be thy shield and buckler.” Psalms 91:1-4

Read Psalm 91 often so this truth permeates you. Here the LORD uses the imagery of His “winged fowl” creation (Genesis 1:21). GOD made this very creature/bird for the express purpose of showing us how much He loves us and how He comforts, cares and provides for, guides, and protects His own (Psalms 91:1).

“The Song of Moses is recorded in Deuteronomy 32 of the King James Version (KJV), spanning verses 1 through 43. It is a prophetic poem given by Moses to the children of Israel just before his death, serving as a witness and a reminder of God’s faithfulness and Israel’s potential turning away.”

Prayer: Father, please grant that I know and understand You more and more. I love You LORD. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Peace, Protection, and Provision [podcast]

Divine Comfort, Care, and Protection “He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.” Psalms 91:1 In this chapter God paints the picture of His oversight, His divine watch care, His provision and His protection over His beloved people. Each verse is this amazing chapter is inseparable connected to and anchored in the very first verse – which is the divine thesis statement for the whole chapter. As is the divine case made throughout Holy Scripture, it’s all about relationship! See also Jeremiah 17:12, John 17:3, and Philippians 3:10. Read Psalm […]

Understanding how Divine Protection Works in Christ's Body [podcast]

Have pity on deceivers? Absolutely not. “Mark them.” (Romans 16:17-18) “Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him:” Deuteronomy 13:8 Read Deuteronomy 13:1-10. Anyone who downplays warning the “little flock” for whom Christ’s died and rose again, is not being led by the Holy Spirit and we know that because such a person is contradicting the Word of God given to us by the “inspiration” of the Holy Ghost (Luke 12:32; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:19-21). “For God is not the author of […]

Clear Proof that the Bible is the Only Sacred Holy Book on God's Planet [podcast]

There is only one holy book and name in the earth, the sacred name of Jesus Christ who is the grand subject of all of Holy Scripture (Philippians 2:9-11). God left us with His Word so we can know Him and not be deceived by the “MANY false prophets” He promised would come and deceive many just before His return (Matthew 24:11). God gave us His Word to protect us (2 Timothy 3:15-17). “Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, 10 Declaring the end […]

Jesus in Every Book of the Bible

First and foremost, God’s Word was written to reveal Christ.

The Bible is said to be “The only Book where the divine Author is present every time you read it.”

He’s divinely encoded and present on every page of His Word.

“And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.” Luke 24:44

Every book of the Bible is about the LORD Jesus, who is the central theme, the sacred substance of all of Holy Scripture. If we miss Him, we miss everything, we miss the grand subject and revelation of God’s Word.

“Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. 40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.” John 5:39-40

This makes it clear that we can “search the scriptures,” we can know them, and yet not know the Author.

They knew the Word of God but did not know the God of the Word. They made the choice not to “come to” Jesus thorugh His Word. They made it about themselves, not Jesus.

The Bible is one Book from one divine Author. The divisions are there to help us navigator His Word. – Old and New Testaments, chapters, verses, etc.

“Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.” Psalms 119:18

The supreme and most important “wondrous” thing we are to behold in Holy Writ, is Jesus Christ.

Amen. Jesus Christ is King of all kings, LORD of all lords.

“Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. 8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.” Revelation 1:7-8

Jesus is present in every book of the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation. Here’s a breakdown of how He is revealed in each book:
