Shalom,
Psalm 143:1 begins with this call to the One, True, Most High, Living, Almighty God of the Bible:
1 Hear my prayer, O Lord, give ear to my supplications! In Your faithfulness answer me, and in Your righteousness. AMP
Have you ever prayed that prayer or one similar to it? Do you know that we have the key given to us in the New Testament that will make sure that all of our prayers are answered? Look at 1 John 5:14-15:
14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he hears us: 15 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him. KJV
Do you see that the KEY is to get God to hear us! IF He hears us, we HAVE IT! So how do we get Him to hear? We must ask according to His WILL! How do we KNOW what the Will o God is? HIS WORD! His Word IS His Will! So, ask according to the WORD and you can KNOW that you have the answer! AMEN! Let's look at these two verses in the Amplified Bible and then in the Message Bible. I want you to REALLY get this inside!
14 And this is the confidence (the assurance, the privilege of boldness) which we have in Him: [we are sure] that if we ask anything (make any request) according to His will (in agreement with His own plan), He listens to and hears us. 15 And if (since) we [positively] know that He listens to us in whatever we ask, we also know [with settled and absolute knowledge] that we have [granted us as our present possessions] the requests made of Him. AMP
14 And how bold and free we then become in his presence, freely asking according to his will, sure that he's listening. 15 And if we're confident that he's listening, we know that what we've asked for is as good as ours. THE MESSAGE
Isn't this so very clear now? you should be jumping up and down with JOY because you now know the answer that so many people have been seeking! Know His Will and you will know what to pray and it WILL be done for you! HALLELUJAH! Thank YOU, Lord Jesus! AMEN! Here is Hillsong with "Desert Song":
Shalom in Him!
