Friend, there is great power in prayer.

And what is prayer many ask?

Must I get on my knees at an altar in front of many witnesses to pray to get results?

Not necessarily so; but of course God will hear all sincere prayers, of all kinds.

Sincere prayers begin with a heart that believes in the One Who hears them.

Prayer is a heart to heart conversation with God.

First we thank Him for Who He Is to us and all our fellow humans. That's the opening statements to The Father so He will know you are calling to Him.

He's our Father, the Triune God; of Father, Son and Holy Spirit. 

We acknowledge that Biblical fact, with our own words of praise for His Goodness.

Since Jesus's resurrection, where, when He returned to Heaven to sit at the Father's Right side, from His Great Accomplishment on The Cross, to secure the souls of man; we are instructed to pray in His Name; signifying we are believers in The Son of God.

These are the prayers that Father God hears; those prayed in the Name of Jesus. 

The Father requires that we acknowledge His Son; Jesus who died for all who will come to Him, like a child does to a Good Father, like a sibling to a Good and Perfect Protector Brother; who would die for their soul to be saved, willingly suffered all our punishments that are required by Holy Law, so that we could have fellowship with Him, and be reunited with Him in Heaven; when our soul leaves the earth after death.

"I am He that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death." Revelation 1:18 KJV

Before He came, all mankind were doomed by the evil work of Satan in our lives. The only way that God could snatch us back was for each soul to live a very faithfilled life, believing in Him for our every want and need but yet our sins were not covered. 

Abraham was a man who God accounted as righteous for his faithfilled life. God tested his faith by introducing circumcision.

GENESIS 17:1-14 KJV

God will not withhold anything that is asked for; according to His Law, because that; He cannot, and would never, break.

By His Law and His Wisdom, Grace and Mercy He hears all the prayers of His faithful people; those who love Him.

We must know in our hearts that He hears all our prayers when we pray in Jesus's Name. The whispered, the pleadings, cries of our hearts, the praise and the worship are all received.

Knowing this, we must allow Him to work things together for us; trusting in His Time and Way, for His Perfect Will to be carried out.

He is working in the hearts and minds of all those around us both the saved and the unsaved, to accomplish His will and answer our prayers.

But if the unsaved will not yield or bend to His Authority, God continues to work, as He has promised to be faithful to you, but that one or two or more people in your life who don't believe, will keep you from the Perfect Answer for a time. So pray earnestly for their Salvation; because at Salvation we are justified to Him, and also begin to be sanctified over our lifetime on earth as He, by The Holy Spirit, begins to refine our faith into full maturity; where we begin to understand the many things we have been doing wrong, and set about to right them under God's watchful eyes.

Never let unanswered prayer be the reason you deny the faith. That shows a lack of understanding of Who God Is.

We ask for many things that God cannot give us. We must ask within in His Will, knowing His Will, is best for us.

And we must be willing to accept His Answers to our prayers. His Answer may not look like what we asked for, but I can say from experience that one day you will understand why He gave the good gift that you now see was best, even at that time.

God is a Great Artist, Weaver and Potter of our lives.

He's making the most beautiful Work of Art for Himself.

We are just the clay that thinks it can make itself into a glorious vessel.

But we can't, because when we think that we can do it, we are really joining with the satanic realm that cannot produce real beauty. Nor does it have the power to create anything good. It too is a created entity that is subject to the fire; to be burned in the fires of Hell, where all " faulty by their own free will choice," has brought them.

Wherever satan is going, that is where all unrighteous (unbelievers, unfaithfilled) will go; for satan is their leader according to God's Law; whether they agree or not.

Many famous people have sold their souls to the devil and proudly speak of it, but it is best to give your soul to Jesus, Who died for your sins to be Holy Forgiven.
