Ministry Reading

Prayer 

HOW TO PRAY

Concerning any matter, we need to pray. Now let us consider how to pray.

28. Thus says Jehovah, / … Ask Me about the things to come concerning My sons, / And concerning the work of My hands, command Me. (Isa. 45:11)

Our prayer can be so high that we command God. Sometimes we should not merely pray. We can petition, offer thanksgiving, and also command God. God has committed Himself to us in His Word; He wants us to command Him to do the things that we agree with according to His desire. We should command God to do things according to His Word, or His will. We should command our circumstances to change, our troubles to retreat, and our sicknesses to leave. Moses commanded the Red Sea to part, and the Lord Jesus commanded the wind and waves to be calm. When our prayer arrives at this highest peak, we can command, and it becomes a command. We should exercise to arrive at this level of authoritative prayer.

GOD’S ANSWER TO PRAYER

God Promises to Answer Our Prayer

1. Ask and it shall be given to you; seek and you shall find; knock and it shall be opened to you. (Luke 11:9).

If we ask, the Lord promised that it shall be given to us. Therefore, our prayers are answered, not because we cry until the Lord softens His heart and responds. Rather, He answers us because of His promise. His promise is the basis for our prayer.

2. Whatever you ask in My name, that I will do (John 14:13)

The Lord’s promise concerning prayer is very broad. As long as we are abiding in the Lord and praying in His name, He will do whatever we ask.
