PRINCIPLES OF ANSWERED PRAYERS.

The God we serve in not a respecter of person but He is a respecter of principles. Acts 10:34
There are principles that govern prayer.
There are things we need to know about prayer that when followed or used during prayer can get us an audience with God.
Since God is not a respecter of persons, it means the Kingdom of God is a level playing ground for the saints of God.
When we come into God's Kingdom we all stand an equal chance to  come into His inner circle of friends and sons.
So the responsibility is on us.
God is ready to draw nigh to as many as draw close to Him. James 4:8
The access to the Father's presence is open to all. Jesus has paid the price for that, so you can also have an assurance of answered prayer. Matthew 27:51

In God's Kingdom we all have a right to be close to God but not every son and daughter of God takes advantage of the opportunity.
Jesus chose 12 disciples but only 3 disciples out of 12 were permitted to experience the transfiguration of Jesus. What happened to the remaining 9?
I believe the 3 disciples who experienced the transfiguration (Peter, James and John) were the disciples who were pressing into God the most and taking advantage of their opportunities in Christ.

The Principles:
1) Salvation- Revelation 8:4, Revelation 5:8
2) Enter His Presence with a song- Psalm 100:4, worshipsongs activate God's presence
3) Pray to the Father in the name of Jesus- Matthew 6:9, John 14:13
4) Believe God hears you- John 14:12
5) Believe God can do anything- Jeremiah 32:27
6) Ask for grace to overcome sin- Isaiah 59:1-3, 2 Corinthians 12:9, Romans 6:14

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18...

Out Of The Ashes

Isaiah 61:3 Ashes are not seen as useful substances. Ashes are waste that's thrown away. Ashes are what is left after a substance is burnt out. Your life may seem like ashes right now but something good and beautiful can come out of it when it's given to God. You may feel like an ash yourself. You may be feeling burnt out from unpleasant experiences of the past, the previous week, the last Month , or the the last year and life's battles may have left you burnt out. Know that out of your ashes can come beauty! God is the one who gives us beauty for ashes. God can make you and your life beautiful! Don't make the ashes your permanent state. God can make your season of ashes work out into a season of glory for you. Romans 8:28 The phoenix is a mystical and fictional bird that burns out after living for about six centuries. After burning itself out it rises from it's ashes renewed, youthful and revitalized to live through another life cycle. Like the p...
