The Key To Answered Prayer - Part 2

Welcome to the end hatchback cast maternal family for Thursday, October 28. Prayer contains at our neighbors and even our world and how much time are you investing in this powerful privilege. Here's part two of the key to answered prayer.

God made you a movie for himself. He made us the fellowship with that's what he saved us usually save me because you got from he saved you because he loves you and his death on the cross was the means by which he brought about the forgiveness of your sins. He loves you. He wants to answer your prayer if you're willing to ask.

There was a passage of Scripture in the sermon on the Mount. Probably most of his recorded some time in the life of someone you turn if you will, to the seventh chapter of Bob Matthew and I want us to look if you will. After this one particular passage of the seventh verse one utilizes this God desires to answer your prayer. So always hesitations you have been wondering about this, God cared and she loved me. Is he listing the answers yes yes yes yes he does care yes he does love you and so I want you listen and read along with members passage beginning in verse seven of the seven chapter he says ask and it will be given to you seek and you will find knock and it will be open to for everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds at the him who knocks it will be opened. Or what man is there among you who when his son ask for locally give them a stone or if he asked for a fish, he will not give him a snake really.

If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your father is in heaven give what is good to those who ask.

So now look at that verse. He says if you ask and see cannot.

He's going answer repetition deposit you will do you really and truly believe that's what he'll do.

Some of you say well in my life. No, but I want you listen carefully in all the things that Jesus said about prayer is that many thing disciples on occasions the teachers to pray like John has taught his disciples to pray for similar things about prayer and so why because it is the will of the father desire of the father in the design of the father to answer our petitions and so when we come to say what's the key then to answered prayer. The two things. The first one is this if I really and truly want God answer my prayer.

I must learn to persevere.

I must learn to persevere. Just praying and forgetting engines and moving on. That's not going to get it one of the primary reasons people get their prayers answered is, they start and then they stop.

If it doesn't happen today or tomorrow next week at the latest, that I'm gonna printable because God must not be interested in answering my prayer is variances in answering your praises as seek not and he says that the father will answer your prayer. And that's why the whole issue here is persevering in prayer. I keep praying because I know that my father wants the best for me. I know he's provide the best. I know he is going to give me the best and therefore I must keep praying while God is working on me all the circumstance in order to get me ready for his best. You don't give up and quit because you don't get what you looking for when you're looking for so with her. Persevere in prayer because our heavenly father who loves us unconditionally. Who wants to meet our needs and even our desires who desires to give us good things is what Jesus said because that's who he is and as I talked to him and get to know him. This will happen. The more you get to know him the less things you will ask for and you know what else will happen. That's is only part of the sentence. But the more things you give for the simple reason he wants us to talk to him and fellowship with them. Not because we always want something, but just because we love him so that you this question when is the last time you just set dealt laydown where it might be in said Lord I really and truly do want to get to know you. I want you to give me anything today but tonight I just want to get to know you. I would love to hear you speak to me. I would love to hear what you want to say to me, help me to understand what you say he so willing, for example, I awakened this morning at a dead sleep and God brought to my mind spoke to me something very clearly that I needed to deal with that. I had thought about before, but I just let inside the well get done.

Some have no it needs to be dealt with tomorrow morning. He's willing and when people say what God is never spoken to be is for this way he tried and he'll keep trying because, listen more important to God than giving you this that the other, some of which you can manipulate. Get yourself. He wants you to receive it as from him.

He wants you to know that he loves you enough that he's the one who provides it and everything that comes our way.

That's good for us comes from him. So first of all, if I'm really going to get answers to prayer. Persevere, I don't give up and quit because it's tough because there's a delay. I will talk about the delay right now. There's a reason so that's the first keep the second one is this and that is confidence that is confidence that he's going to answer my prayer. I don't have the conference. What I'm saying is I'm asking, but I don't really believe it. And you know, when you pray with you have confidence in God or not that he's going to hear and answer prayer. You know what to do or not, because the more confidence you have.

Listen, the stronger you will pray, the more confidence you have, the longer you will pray, the more content you have, the more you will pray, the more confident you have the more effective is going to be your prayer. There was something happens, we begin the pray in that fashion. Now confidence is belief in the trustworthiness of God that we believe he'll do what he says. And so I want us to look at this passage and the listener. Harry said because he said this in order to strengthen our conference floor. He said I'm saying SC cannot now if you'll notice again the passage we read a while ago.

What man is there among you when his son asked for love, will he give them a stone or if he asked for fish, will he give him a snake really was like there was an eel out of the water. He said what he do that none of us were true that you're on their way. So he says if you then being able being a center know how to give good gifts to your children that has the keyword, how much more how much more will your Father who is in heaven give what is good to those who ask him.

I think about this is what Jesus said he kinesthetically clearer and more convincing. He said if you being a sinner with all of our faults and frailties and weaknesses.

If you then being able know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly father give good things to those who ask him what we are doing when we are saying that we don't believe he'll answer per meter needs with say you know what I got one on my son my daughter if they have a need admitted, but I'm implying I'm saying but you know God, he just ignores his knee.

There was a wee better than God, though, if you then being able how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly father give what is good to those who ask that what about this good business or twice.

He mentions that.

So here's what he says whatever you asking for whatever the heavenly father gives you is something good. I watch this. It's good from the perspective and from the judgment of the perfect God who knows you perfectly every cell of your body. He knows you perfectly so therefore what God gives is good. It's good for us.

If you then being able how to give good gifts future. How much more you heavenly father give what is good to those who ask Deacon amazing the simpler he can about any Clara and he can admitted in a more convincing what an illustration of father picking up a stone around the lake and giving us a hint that eat that he's is if you be able how to give good just your children, how much more the heavenly father give good things of those who ask you say well I know that's true but you know what I've been talking to him about all this and I'm waiting for God to answer my prayer because up until this time.

I just don't feel like he has, but with what's the message of what he say the messages this the loving perfect heavenly father gives to his children are imperfect and who centers he gives to us good things because he loves us.

It says something about his concern for those it says something that is caring for us. It says something about his intimate knowledge of the nobody knows you like God nobody knows is like nobody knows our needs or hurts our pains our feelings. Nobody knows their weaknesses are frailties like eat so what happens, he says you can trust me, I'm going to give you exactly what you need a good gift of their time. Some people pray and they want what they want with regard reason not you will never equal what God has in store for you.

This is your heavenly father doing what providing for so is there.

Well, now what about this business of weight. What am I supposed to do just what he said you'll remember for example, when Mary and Martha called Jesus arts and symbolism message and said Lazarus, whom you love is. Second, the death where what was Jesus answer.

Silence.

Wet wet wet wet wet liniment you beat that homely cook for you and your disciples. Now he's at the point of death. We need you silence will they get the feel insert when they met and visit if you have been here wasn't a good answer is silence a good answer when you ask God for something and he just silent. Is that a good answer.

He says he only gives good CF as this question was it good for Jesus to show up and heal him. Yes, was it better to let it die and raising from the dead and 2000 years later we still talk about Lazarus still talk about Jesus raising from the dead. Listen, he blessed a lot of people a lot of people's needs the names on the bottle with Mary and Martha say avoiding that. If it is healed though because this not only did it affect Mary and Martha, it affected everybody everywhere that heard about watch this Jesus silence in your life and mine is always good and always for a purpose, always.

This sounds like a last forever, but is silent for a time and sometimes we miss God's best blessings because you gotta move ahead know was if you don't do it now. Let's just forget it and I could think of a lot of examples willing to give you a very material exampled. You can identify with number of years ago I had a wreck. Somebody hit me from behind, not me 35 feet down the street and the this is the strangest thing I can still remember I'm an analytical husband in early much. The only thing God said to me was, don't buy a car that I had no interest in buying one when I'm hurt. That's the only thing I heard God say to me I can. I know exactly where our I thought. I don't know what I thought except that I wasn't intercepted on the reset it so time went by, both my kids will know when I was going to get one because everybody in the family had one there. We've got four nor three cars.

I said, I'm sure. Gotta show me where so time went by and I didn't have one so whenever deacons let me have one of his cars are driven thing and one day when the college cover college students admit that defendant you will buy your car as I don't know whenever God let's redo it. Now I need is a car and I wanted one and so finally after waiting that long. I said okay God, I know you said don't buy one for the common bears driving this thing so I go to this particular dealer and I thought this is moderate and there will be too pretentious and so for Syosset when he driver-side drove it three times I drove it one time and I thought it's pretty good Nitro. The second time I'm sitting in a chart I can still see the dashboard today because God is photographed in my mind I'm looking at and I'm sitting there thinking well I guess this is probably what I'll do is like God said to me crystal clear that you will ever forget this. Do you want this or do you want my best he can absolutely clear that I open the door got up close the door and so the cells camisole you think assets are. I don't think you understand what I'm thinking I walked away with no hope of anything other still okay God I think it was the next week if I'm not mistaken, the could of been two weeks.

I went with one of her church members to meeting. I didn't know him all that will be the only goal is maybe. And so we are driving down the street and he said the when you get your car goodness again.

I said well know a guy just hadn't given me the privilege about one yet for some reason he's there will what would you buy if you could get anything you wanted.

God is my witness, I didn't even think out of my mouth, came one just like this, which I would never ask for three days later I had a check to buy one just like his now I could have. I could, I could have put out several thousand dollars on to tell you how much cars cost. I could've done that and disobey God and then probably thought about until Laurent disobeyed you a car would never run right. I don't care what app because it was it was disobedience or I could drive a final automobile that had nothing to do with.

And God said don't buy a car that is don't start pleading with me.

Just trust me and I trust them for a number of months wasn't very convenient as a sacristan bear sometimes but you know what God had the best but I had to wait when I thought why not backyard God.

He never said with his what I'm going to do that silence for months. What I'm saying is this, don't try to second-guess God when he answers you with silence.

Remember this is working.

He's got something better than you could dream.

He's got the best answer. If you willing to wait.

But if you're not willing to wait you get second best in all these years I've never been more blessed.

That was an act of obedience. That God kept the blessing me with over and over and over again and I'm saying to you guys not prejudice. He will answer the needs of your life as well as you will him up sometime people sick.

Will you preach… That is nothing to do with the only has Lewis obeying God if you will, trusting, don't try to force his hand and say what if you loved me you given me this and give me that give me the other.

I've met a lot of people do the years who had to come back and say I can hear them now if Allah just waited. If Allah just waited.

That passage is so simple.

Here's what he says if you do good things for your children. You haven't seen anything yet. If you wait for me and trust me and keep praying.

You have to keep praying and keep winning, but you keep bringing watch what I do.

You're never been this.
