Prayer receives according to the promises of God in the Bible. The promises of God are sure to you as a believer. Your faith is strengthened, when you ask according to God's promises. There are thousands of promises in the Bible. He hears and answers."Yet you do not have because you do not ask" (James 4:2).
Prayer receives according to God's word of promise. That's asking according to the will of God. That means we are certain of God's will. "Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us" (1 John 5:14).
We believe God can do anything, but will He do what we are asking? It's certain He will, if it's according to His word of promise. The word of God is the will of God. "For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us" (2 Corinthians 1:20). Prayer is asking and receiving based upon God's promises in Jesus name.
Prayer receives according to God's word and will in the Bible. His answer will be Yes and Amen in Christ. We may be reluctant to ask God for anything, because we think God's answer may be no. However, it is Yes in the Bible, so ask in Jesus name. Jesus Christ is the Amen to our requests. Amen means "so be it." Prayer receives based upon God's word and will in Jesus name.
