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

The Importance Of The Anointing

Acts 10:38 The anointing is the presence of the Holy Spirit with a person. The anointing speaks, the anointing directs, and the anointing teaches people what they need to know and do. 1 John 2:27 You need the anointing. You can grow in the anointing. It is also possible to depart from the anointing. The anointing won't depart from you but you can depart from the anointing. You should remain in Him. It is worth it investing time to understand the your anointing, growing in your anointing and obeying the anointing. As you get to know a person better by spending time with them, so it is with the anointing in your life. With the anointing, you can't go wrong. The anointing strategically positions you in God's kingdom and in life. Jesus was full of the Holy Spirit. Colossians 2:9 Jesus had the anointing when He was here on earth. Jesus is our example of what our life can be when we have the anointing. Hebrews 12:2 Jesus knew His purpose. Luke 2:49 Jesus

Navigating A New Year

 Isaiah  42:16 Our text passage above shows us God is the one who shows us the path to take and leads us in new directions. Your path matters to God. The way you you choose to take is important to God. Your steps are seen by God and ordered by God. Psalm 37:23 The year ahead of you matters to God too. Luke 13:8-9 Each year God has given you the grace to witness, experience, and journey through is another opportunity to be fruitful for God. God wants you to make the most of the year ahead of you to His glory. Human beings do not always know the way and path to go, we can be limited in wisdom. History shows we do not always make the best choices. The year ahead of us will require knowing the way to go, having the wisdom to make the best decisions and choices. Deuteronomy 30:19 To successfully navigate the year we need to stay in God.. To navigate is to find your way through, it is following the right path to a specific destination. Car drivers either buy a GPS/Navigation device system or
