This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us--whatever we ask--we know that we have what we asked of Him. 1 John 5:14-15 NIV
When I was in Brazil, witnessing to hundreds of people everyday, I would often begin my presentation of the gospel with this question: Do you believe the Word of God is true? If they didn't believe the Bible, then what I was sharing with them would have no weight of sincerity in their lives. It would be meaningless and I would be wasting their time and mine.
Dear friend, do you believe God's Word. If you do, then these two verses of Scripture must also be true.
I have heard from many readers who say they don't feel God answering their prayers. I have to point you back to the Word of God and say that the only way to reconcile that statement is that either they are not listening or they aren't listening long enough. God does hear His children and He does respond....He does it in His time.
Notice that phrase "according to His will". I don't have to ask my wife if she wants to spend Saturdays with me. She looks forward to our time together whatever we do. I know her "will" because I have spent time studying who my wife is and what makes her happy.
God wants no less from you and me. As we spend time getting to know our God, then we begin implementing His will into our lives, praying for those things which will please Him the most, then we will begin to see huge results from our prayers! Heaven opens the floodgates of blessings when our prayers begin reflecting the heart of God. Get to know God's heart today and watch God amazingly hear and respond in your favor!
Lord, help us to walk within your will today, reflecting your love and heart within every utterance that comes from our minds, mouths and actions.
