Prayer: An Intro Thesis

1 John 5:14-15 KJV And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him. Prayer does not begin with what we desire or need or how much we need it. But Prayer begins with the will of God. Are you asking for something that will help the purpose of God in you? Or are you just imitating others as others do it too? For prayer is asking God according to His will for your life. Do you have a clear vision about your life? A clear revelation of the purpose of God in your life. Then you cannot begin to ask for stuff yet. Do in your infancy take time to know who you are in Christ, so when you pray you may pray according to God's will and design for your life. For you might say God is not answering where as you are praying according to your feelings. And when you pray according to your feelings it is for eye service. To prove self not God; but when you pray according to the clear revelation God gave you about your life it command and demands results. To help you run the course of God's will for your life. James 4:1-3 KJV From whence come wars and fightings among you? Come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. Asking without a purpose always leads to futility, what did God say He has raised you to be? Seek from God for that purpose and you are due for His spoils. As a sure and secure way to take from God. This handbook is fashioned to ask and answer your myriad questions on prayer.
