The message for today - Part #2 of - " Prayer !"

Good afternoon to the beloved Children of God,

The message for today - Part #2 of - " Prayer !" 

I was thinking about yesterday's message " Let's pray together" and the word of God spoke this to me, " Teach them How to Pray !" Understand some people believe that you can just speak out words and it's done. Wrong, it's in Proverbs 15:8,The Lord detests the sacrifice of the wicked, but the prayer of the upright pleases him. In the Scriptures it plainly says that God will hear and answer a believer’s prayer, but not those of the unbeliever. In 1 Peter 3:12 “For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer, but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.” We have confidence that God will hear our prayers His Children. God can even hear the thoughts and intents of our hearts, in Hebrews 4:13, Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account. Now get understanding first, so it’s not a matter of whether He will hear us or not, it’s a matter of whether we’ll accept His answer. Look at Proverbs 15:28-29,The heart of the righteous studieth to answer: but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.The Lord is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous. It's in the Word of God, please don't have the wrong motives in your heart and thoughts.Come boldly to the Throne of Grace with Love in your heart. Do you not know that God doesn't answer your will, only His Will is done. Read John 9:31, We know that God does not listen to sinners. He listens to the godly person who does his will. Also, in James 4:3, When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures. We think of the "outer man" as our body or outward appearance or behavior, whereas the inner man is associated with things like our mind, heart, soul, and spirit. Do you not know that God sees the sin that is so often present in our inner man? The Bible clearly states that God is not only concerned with the person we show to the world (our behavior), but that His judgment extends even to the hidden motives of our hearts. Now, that's powerful ! But, God hears our inner sounds from the heart. The story of Hagar and Ishmael being sent away, but God had a plan and purpose. Read the purpose and plan in Genesis chapter 21 :6-18,Sarah said, “God has brought me laughter, and everyone who hears about this will laugh with me.” And she added, “Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? Yet I have borne him a son in his old age.”The child grew and was weaned, and on the day Isaac was weaned Abraham held a great feast. But Sarah saw that the son whom Hagar the Egyptian had borne to Abraham was mocking, and she said to Abraham, “Get rid of that slave woman and her son, for that woman’s son will never share in the inheritance with my son Isaac.”The matter distressed Abraham greatly because it concerned his son. But God said to him, “Do not be so distressed about the boy and your slave woman. Listen to whatever Sarah tells you, because it is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned. I will make the son of the slave into a nation also, because he is your offspring.” Early the next morning Abraham took some food and a skin of water and gave them to Hagar. He set them on her shoulders and then sent her off with the boy. She went on her way and wandered in the Desert of Beersheba. When the water in the skin was gone, she put the boy under one of the bushes. Then she went off and sat down about a bowshot away, for she thought, “I cannot watch the boy die.”And as she sat there, she began to sob.God heard the boy crying, and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven and said to her, “What is the matter, Hagar? Do not be afraid; God has heard the boy crying as he lies there. Lift the boy up and take him by the hand, for I will make him into a great nation.” Now stay with me, God heard Hagar and her son whimpering in the wilderness, "HE IS STILL LISTEN !" What are you crying out ?  God, hears the Cry of His Children always. God Protected Hagar and Ishmael her son and He will do it again for His beloved Children. Look at 1 John 5:14-15, 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. God recognizes the voice of His own Spirit, because the prayers that the Spirit prompts are in strict accordance with His will. What's in the mind of the Spirit of the person praying is it His Will? What are the thoughts of the Spirit, and therefore what is the echo of those thoughts in the prayers that are offered to Him (God) for ready? We should come before the Throne of Grace seeking God's Will Always !  It's Scripture Psalm 24:4, The one who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not trust in an idol or swear by a false god. There's only one True Living God ! Get understanding,Jeremiah 10:10,But the LORD is the true God; he is the living God, the eternal King. When he is angry, the earth trembles; the nations cannot endure his wrath. Resist your way or will and surrender to His (God's) Will and His Way ? Read the word in Romans 8:26-27, Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. Heavenly Father, help us to get understanding of Your Will. Help us to look more to you the author and finisher of our faith in you Lord.

Scriptures to Meditate on this week :

Matthew 25:1-12,"At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.Five of them were foolish and five were wise.The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. The wise ones, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps.The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep."At midnight the cry rang out: 'Here's the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!' "Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps.The foolish ones said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.'"'No,' they replied, 'there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.'"But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet. And the door was shut."Later the others also came. 'Lord, Lord,' they said, 'open the door for us!' "But he replied, 'Truly I tell you, I don't know you.'

Matthew 25:32,All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
