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 Daily Cross in Prayer [podcast]

Prayer is inseparably connected with knowing God (John 17:3).

(Excerpt from the book I Die Daily)

“My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.” Psalms 5:3

Let’s isolate and dismantle these words of God a bit. Under the direct inspiration of the Holy Spirit, David says to the LORD:

That He (God) would hear his (David’s) “voice”
That “in the morning” the Psalmist would arise and seek God in prayer
Deliberately “in the morning,” he would “direct” his prayer and praying to the LORD – “in the morning … I will look up”

From this passage, we see that David planned or scheduled, in an intentional and calculated fashion, to meet with the LORD every morning. The phrase “in the morning” appears twice in this inspired transmission of the Holy Ghost. The man whose heart panted after the LORD – to behold His precious beauty – declared that he would “direct” (point) his prayer upward to the LORD “in the morning.” (Ps. 5:3; 27:4; Acts 13:22) Communing with the LORD was priority to David, and therefore occupied first place in his daily life. He sought the LORD firstly as he arose from sleep, and before he went forth into his day.

Jesus commanded that if any person will come after Him – truly follow Him – he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Him (Luke. 9:23-24). There is no place that the cross applies more than in daily prayer. The moment one arises, he will choose either to seek God or dwell upon self-sentiments and such. He will seek Christ, or he will seek his own salvation or rescue from his troubles. We all make a “daily” choice:

“… choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” Joshua 24:15

No different from those covenant saints the LORD spoke to in this important passage, those whom we dwell among are serving self – the flesh – and yet we are called upon by the LORD to “choose” to daily serve Him rather than self. We are called to “be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; Holding forth the word of life.” (Phil. 2:15-16)

The LORD is calling us to purposefully declare Him as the LORD and Master of our lives, and this we do by making the premeditated decision to seek Him daily in prayer communion. Like Joshua, the way we “choose” to “serve” God must be premeditated, deliberate, daily, and in practicality. Daily, early morning, first fruit prayer is all three of these. It is the fruit of the crucified life – the life that is dead to self and in whom Christ dwells and reigns. – “Ye are dead and your life is hid with Christ in God.” (Col. 3:3)

To those who seek God and not their own devices, there are many benefits (Ps. 68:19).

“Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7

The precious peace of the “Prince of Peace” rules and reigns and makes sound the hearts of those who deny self’s ability to overcome and solve issues and problems, and instead earnestly and diligently rely upon God’s power to do such for them (Isa. 9:6; 26:3).

“Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength.” Isaiah 26:3-4

As we fix our whole being upon Jesus Christ, our thoughts will be upward to His “glorious high throne,” which is “the place of our sanctuary.” (Jer. 17:12)

God is calling each of His saints to give his whole being to Christ, and to those things that “are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things” (Php. 4:8).

So, according to Philippians 4:6-8, saints are to rely upon the LORD and not self by submitting all their requests in prayer to Him who is their Source, and to think upon those things of Christ which are “true … honest … just … pure … lovely … of good report … if there be any virtue … if there be any praise.” It is upon “these things” that we are instructed to “think on.” (Phil. 4:8)

God’s thoughts are infinitely higher than ours, and yet it is not until we become truly “crucified with Christ” that we are going to be ruled by His thoughts and peace (Isa. 55:8-9; Gal. 2:20; Phil. 4:6-7).

Changing the way one thinks is being done by millions of people who are not regenerated (not born again). New age and religious teachers hold this thought transformation teaching closely. Anyone can change the way they think for self-serving reasons – to stop smoking, to visualize and earn more money, to have more self-esteem, etc. However, hell still awaits all who are not born again, and that takes facing the living God and Judge in repentance for sin and placing all faith in Jesus Christ, the only Savior (Acts 4:12; 1 Tim. 2:5). The only renewing of the mind and thoughts that brings glory to Jesus Christ, is that which begins with one casting his whole being upon the LORD afresh – presenting himself a “living sacrifice … unto God.” Let’s look at Romans 12:

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” Romans 12:1-2

Those who are presenting their bodies to the LORD as “living sacrifice(s)” are infused and enabled by His grace to keep their minds or thoughts stayed (fixed) upon the LORD and not self, as they look for Jesus’ soon return (Col. 3:1-4). They trust Christ and not their own strength, reasoning, whims, philosophies, or wisdom. As they give themselves over to Christ and His infinite divine power, and become weak in self and self’s abilities, Jesus’ power raises them up to trust Him and rely upon Him alone – to rest the weight of their whole beings in Him who is able. They first declare that they are not able, and that only “God is able.” (Eph. 3:20; 2 Cor. 9:8) These are they who have and are finding out in a personal way that there really is nothing impossible with the LORD!

“And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.” Mark 10:27

Abraham trusted God. He is our human example of a man who walked with God – by faith believing that God would raise up that to which he died. Concerning the promise of a son being born to him and his aged wife, the Bible records these words from the LORD to His servant Abraham:

“Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.” Genesis 18:14

If God can and will split the Red Sea for His people, and cause a 100-year-old man and his 90-year-old wife to have a child, what in your life can’t He do? (Gen. 17:17)

Here’s yet another question posed to our hearts from the LORD:

“Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?” Jeremiah 32:27

God requires that we die to self-will, self-help, and self-esteem, and lay our lives in His holy, perfect, and more-than-sufficient hands. He can then work in us and in our lives – raising up His holy standard and power to glorify Himself in and through His children. Nothing will be impossible for the LORD to perform in the lives of those who deny themselves and, like Abraham, trust God to raise up His solutions, answers, and blessings to bring Himself glory.

“(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth (makes alive) the dead, and (God) calleth those things which be not as though they were.” Romans 4:17

God called forth Isaac out of Abraham’s loins when it was an otherwise impossibility in the natural. In your life, beloved, “Is there anything too hard for the LORD?” (Gen. 18:14)

Our connection with God is all about relationship, and the quality of that relationship is exemplified in our prayer lives – or lack thereof. If a person is pursuing the LORD, he has a prayer life. He lays down his own desires and life and seeks God’s life. This is perhaps in no other scrutiny seen more clearly than in the value he assigns to his prayer life, and the heart affections and time he is willing to invest in it.

In Psalms 63, the Psalmist captures the life of the person who truly has a heart after God.

“O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is; To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary. Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee. Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name. My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips: When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches. Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice. My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.” Psalms 63:1-8

The following is an excerpt from My Utmost for His Highest, by Oswald Chambers:

“’At that day ye shall ask in My name.’ John 16:26. We are too much given to thinking of the Cross as something we have to get through; we get through it only in order to get into it. The Cross stands for one thing only for us – a complete and entire and absolute identification with the Lord Jesus Christ, and there is nothing in which this identification is realized more than in prayer.

‘Your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask Him.’ Then why ask? The idea of prayer is not in order to get answers from God; prayer is perfect and complete oneness with God. If we pray because we want answers, we will get huffed with God. The answers come every time, but not always in the way we expect, and our spiritual huff shows a refusal to identify ourselves with Our Lord in prayer. We are not here to prove God answers prayer; we are here to be living monuments of God’s grace.

‘I say not that I will pray the Father for you: for the Father Himself loveth you.’ Have you reached such an intimacy with God that the Lord Jesus Christ’s life of prayer is the only explanation of your life of prayer? Has Our Lord’s vicarious life become your vital life? ‘At that day’ you will be so identified with Jesus that there will be no distinction.

When prayer seems to be unanswered, beware of trying to fix the blame on someone else. That is always a snare of Satan. You will find there is a reason which is a deep instruction to you, not to anyone else.”

PRAYER: Father, please bless this life to honor You and Your will first and foremost in this life You have granted, by my being authentically crucified with Christ. Please unite my heart to fear Your holy name and to number with wisdom this short time on this earth as a gift from You. I love You, Jesus, and thank You for dying for my sins and for the resurrection power of the Holy Ghost You placed in us upon salvation, and the infilling of the Holy Spirit. You must increase but I must decrease. This moment, if never before, I declare and deliberately decide to place You first daily in my life – I am crucified with Christ. Early will I seek Thee. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

The Sanctified Cleansed Church Jesus is Returning For [podcast]

“Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.” John 15:3 When God is speaking to His obedient disciple, though the ingestion of His words, there is a continual cleansing – “with the washing of water by the word” (Ephesians 5:26). This is not happening unless one is truly continuing with Christ via His Word. Each and every abiding disciple of Jesus relishes, diligently devours, and lives by His words (John 8:31-32). “Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.” John 17:17 Christ makes it clear here that sanctification occurs in every abiding disciple of […]

I don’t think we begin to realize the power that is in the name of Jesus Christ – and available exclusively to those who are HIS.

Memorize the word of our LORD Jesus recorded in John 14:13-14.

“I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.” Luke 13:3

One commentator notes: “The universal fascination with knowing what is going on in the world has ancient roots. Knowing that Jesus is a well-known rabbi, some ask for his take on the hot news of the day. “There were some present at that very time who told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices” (Luke 13:1). Pilate, the governor, has executed some Jews while they were in the act of offering their sacrifices, mingling their blood with the animal blood. Jewish sentiment is likely strongly against Pilate, although some seem to be critical of the people who have suffered. Maybe they deserved it.”

WHAT is the Context of Fighting the Good Fight of Faith?

What was Paul speaking of when he declared that Christ’s disciples must “Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses”? (1 Timothy 6:12) First off, it’s a “good fight” because we are going to win – yet only if we do things God’s way with no compromise. What do we fight against? What must we put under foot, conquer and reign victorious over? What did the Holy Spirit in Paul mean by fighting the good fight of faith? Think context. You have to […]

"Faith is the Substance of Things Hoped for"

If you don’t understand how your vehicle works, why do you still drive it? “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Hebrews 11:1 Is there “substance,” that which is substantial in our faith in God? The Greek word from which “substance” is derived is hupostasis. Definition: hoop-os’-tas-is From a compound of G5259 and G2476; a setting under (support), that is, (figuratively) concretely essence, or abstractly assurance (objectively or subjectively): – confidence, confident, person, substance.
