Right, welcome back to this new module of prayers that move heaven, your step by step guide for getting your prayers answered 100% of the times on bended knees, we want you to know that again, there is unlimited power, that last module should really put the emphasis back on you and me, that is all up to us. How much do we really want? Jesus clearly taught, it is the Father's will to do even more than earthly parents are for their kids. He wants to give you abundantly so he's now withholding. It's up to you. It's up to me according to Ephesians 320 again, now on to him was able to do exceedingly, abundantly above all that we can x think of magic.

So it is not because Heaven is not willing to be still is you and me who need to understand these protocols and principles and apply them actually apply them right. So remember, the blessing comes with do it now. That will No these things bless that we if we actually do them. So let's go on to this new module, neurology 201 foundations of effective prayer now that we have pretty much again that the basics, we want to know, build the foundation on which the other two and three modules will actually be built upon. You know when this right here will change your prayer life going forward. So, but I want you first of all to understand two big principles, right, the certainty of God's promises.

This is a small book I wrote a few years ago. If anything, this really is pivotal. In your moving forward, you have to know that these two principles will govern what we're about to talk about in this module. And that is, number one, God always keeps his promises he cannot lie. We trust people who cannot lie, knowing the principles of God the promises of God. crucial because what separates people who just pray words are those who actually understand and pray in the words of God, and print about the things that are talked about.

So numbers 2319, Psalm 8934, Titus one to Hebrews 618. These all say that God pretty much cannot lie. He's not a man that he should lie. No, the sort of memory should repent. It is impossible if he was six, he did say it is impossible impossible for God to lie. Titus One, two talks about the fact that God who cannot lie promise from the very foundation of the world.

So we know that we can trust God to do what he said there's power in his promises. His words are what we take to the bank. That's how we build faith. And that's how we can come with confidence taking him up on the promise that he says in he was for 16, to come boldly to come confidently to the throne of grace because when we come to a strong It says though we have come in like a court pitcher court scene with a judge, we are coming there to get our case heard whatever all petitions are, that's all a case that we are bringing. And so we know that if we can trust God, God cannot lie, then his judgments his decisions will be solid, his decisions, we can take it to the bank, because we know even when is a no, we know that it is.

The next one is God has power to do what He has promised. So one thing is he is promise. But does he have the power to do what he says he's gonna do? And yes, we find that all throughout again, let's take one of our free texts and see Ephesians 320 God is able to do exceedingly, abundantly above all that we can actually imagine. And then not only that, but in Genesis one, Psalm 33, six and nine. We are told that God form the world by the words of his mouth, that is power.

His words are powerful. The words have no Say of the word itself, the power and the ability to produce whatever it says. That's why he also goes on in Isaiah 55. It says the words that have gone out of my mouth, they will not return to me forward, but they will accomplish the things what that I set it to do. So, knowing that God would Gods would have power, and they're able to accomplish things gives us again, confidence, search certainty, surety, that whatever He has promised, he is able to fulfill. So knowing that now is what we are going to be able to now only shhh in our prayer life as we go forward in this module.

Here's a quotation I want to leave with you make sure you study this one very carefully. In the book prayer page 314. It says to every promise of God, there are conditions notice this is crucial to every promise. So we need the promise. We need the blessing, the promise is the blessing. But there are conditions to those and if we willing to do His will or his sharing his house, whatever gift he promises is in the promise itself.

The seed as it is the word as surely as the oak is in the acorn, so surely is the gift of God and His promise and if we can receive the promise, then we have the gift is like again, if you have a corn seed, you have corns, alright, if you have a tomato seed, you right imbedded in there is already that tomato plant that will produce abundance, okay? So that's what we want you to know. But that's why you have to know the word and you have to meet the conditions that the word specified so many people don't get answers to prayer simply because this is where they're falling short. They don't meet the conditions necessary to produce the results of the prayer simple things like forgiveness. Forgiveness is a principle it is a outcome. It is a desire.

It is something that We ask for it is a blessing. But first john one nine says if we confess our sins, God is faithful and just to forgive us. So we want the outcome we want forgiveness, wanting to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. But there's a condition the condition is we must work, ask for forgiveness, we must make our confession. Same thing with Second Chronicles seven, verse 14. We know that one, but it goes on to say we want three things from God, right?

We want him to hear us wanting to heal our land, wanting to forgive our sins, but he says if my people will call by my name will humble themselves, pray, seek my face turn from their wicked ways. That's your part. If we don't do that, first four things, we're not going to experience the three blessings that follows you catch what I'm saying? Because that's the requirement. And if you meet the requirements, then the blessings are all yours. Simple as that.

Let's go over. So what I want to give you here now these are the conditions right these are the conditions foundations of effective prayer. These are the conditions now So, for answered prayer, and actually bad answer what I'm trying to say here is answer in the affirmative because God hears our prayers, we want to talk about what does it mean when he does not hear our prayers, okay? But God hears all prayers. The question is, when God answers we're not always liking the answer that he gives. But God answers all prayers.

Okay, now, he can answer us in many ways, not only three ways there are multiple ways God answer some people say the only three ways but the three top ways we know he can say yes, no, wait, okay, you can give a delay, but even not answered, and even a silence is a form of cancer. But my son asked me questions. You know, it all depends. I will answer him. Yes, I will answer No, I will say Wait, hold on, I'll just simply know him all together. That's an answer.

That's the response, especially if he's misbehaving. I'm just gonna be like, I'm not feeling you right now. So knowing the will of God is very important. And we have to be willing to also accept no from God as an answer to Because he knows best sometime he may have better or he chooses something odd totally, we might not have met the condition necessary to be in possession of the answer to this particular prayer. Okay, so I'll give you an example of this shortly. But let's go into some of them.

What are some of the conditions now necessary to get our prayers answered in the affirmative meaning Yes. Okay. So what was come to God very clean and pure heart. This is very important. So God can clean us up. But he doesn't want us to come to him.

And we may feel the undertone, because he's going to convict us only spray is given part of his his job is to convict the world of sin. So when there are things in our lives that are all like, if he wants to clean that up so many times we just want to rush into prayer, but you have to have come in with a clean heart. Okay, so you can read Psalm 24. And 66 says, you know, who will ascend into the hill of or into the mountain of God? Well, the mountain of God is also the dwelling place of the where his throne is. So again he was for 16 talks about come boldly onto the throne.

What is the throne of God again, the throne of God is where he was where he lives where he inhabits. So when we go to the mountain of God, we are going to the hill of God, we're going to where God was approaching his throne. And so he says, Those who will ascend those who are clean hands and pure hearts, we are not doing evil deeds. I mean, I think in evil deeds are having evil thoughts and evil imaginations and evil motives. So take care of that. And the Lord will be able to bless Another one is that we must come submissive to his review will sometimes again this goes back to get when some prayers seem to be on a delay or not answer according to the way we want it to be answered, you have to be submissive, you have to be willing to accept God's Supreme.

By the way, he is the previous supreme knowledge supreme revelation, you will have a finite man but he is in finite, as the prophet Isaiah says, again, God's thoughts in ways that we have been Always so he knows best he can see the big picture you and I just see here temporal ones, and I don't The reason why I need to be submissive to God's word as well is because even my own heart, your heart, Scripture says our hearts are deceitful and desperately wicked, so that we don't even know our hearts. Hence David's prayer, search me, O God and know my heart, no my thoughts, see if they're being a wicked with me. And if you do find them and cast them out, you know, so that I can walk in your ways. So being submissive is very important. For example, if you years ago, before we moved to this area here, I was in the north of Austin area I live in and my wife and I, we just had, of course, one of my goal was to, you know, have a house to bring my son into this world.

And so we were excited about having our first home. We did everything we got loan approval, inspection was done. We had the perfect home, upstairs, downstairs, the right amount of rooms we needed, in a nice neighborhood. And that's With that, but the person I was buying the house from was also missionary and administer. So you feel good about that. So it was like an even trade.

So we were so excited, everything going good. Now it takes about four or five days generally, to buy a house completely in the US. And so you know, several weeks have passed now and so we like hey, you know what, ready, we get ready to go moving in and then got a call from the company and they say, Hey, you know what, last minute the underwriter say that, you know what, since you just moved to this area, because I was new in Texas at the time, you know, he decided that he's going to pour out and we're not going to you know, go forward with purchasing. I wasn't that I was upset. I was there. This was weird.

You know, we went through all of that stuff. Let me put the earnest money, did all the inspection we did everything all we really had to do is move into the house. Well, I was upset Of course I didn't understand and I'm like God, you know, because again, I put all these principles in here. You know, we're talking about moving by faith and hey, God, you guys know blesses with a house. We went about it. The thing We didn't have to even follow most of the convention always planned out.

So when that happened, I was like, Okay, well, you know, you can only be upset for so long. But then shortly after that, I found out now that my fate grew, my church was moving me to a new district. So imagine me now having to move to a new district, if I had a mortgage still over there, how to do a mortgage because sometimes it takes a while to even sell houses. So I was now praising God for the fact that this prayer was no because I did not want to end up with that particular bags because I said when I say short, we would not have even enjoyed that household. In a couple of months. It was really like literally shortly after that, bam.

They say that we will move in. And now here's the thing we are in. This is this is my summer, home office here. We are in our own home, new home, same upstairs and downstairs. In a better location with a golf course upfront, and then not only that, but here's the thing, this home is way cheaper than that other home, because it's a different area. And the prices of houses are fairly fairly affordable.

And but it's really great. So we saved a whole lot of money there as well. This is why I say we have to submit and trust that God knows best right? Now, next, don't use vague and repetitious words. Don't try to impress God, right? Jesus talks about that.

So so many of us feel that we have to produce long, eloquent prayers. You know, Paul said, I did not come to you with eloquence, I came to you with simplicity of the word. So God wants us to just come and say what we need and you know, again, Ecclesiastes, these talks about you know, when you come before the presence of God, be more ready to hear that to offer the sacrifice of food, so to speak a lot. We have two years right one mouth, so we have to be more swift and ready to hear than to speak. Think about it before you go. to prayer but don't think that you have to try to impress God.

Okay put in faith that is Bible based. Why do I say this Hebrews 11? One, and six? Well, Hebrews 11 is the fifth chapter general. But this is very important. What makes faith that is biblical different than most faith because most people think bravado or courage.

These might be elements of faith, but they're not necessarily faith in themselves. There are people who don't know who to worship God, but they generally are optimistic, positive people, you know what I mean? And they generally are hopeful. So faith is close to hope, but hope is not faith and faith is not hold necessarily. So they have qualities similar to one another. But we want to differentiate what is faith faith is taking God and His word, believe in and expecting the Word of God only to do what God wants says is going to do that's why he says, again, in Hebrews 11, verse six, it says, Whoever come to God must believe that He is in Gita and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek So, Faith is the substance of things hoped for wrong for believing for desire, when, as it were, but the tangible evidence is already there.

Because why God said, that's the thing. This is what makes it a reality, even though you may not be in possession of it tangibly right now, but I have failed, sees what the naked eyes can see. That's why he says the just the righteous people walk by faith and not by sight. Why? Because my faith is more reliable than my eyesight. See, we lose faith in God because we look too much we see with our naked eyes, the problems the difficulty is not working out all of that.

And it stunts our failure caused us to now doubt and become fearful. And when you operate in a spirit of fear and doubt, you are no longer upgrading by faith that does, you will forfeit the blessing God does not respond to just all your knees but what God responds to is your faith because a whole lot of people have needs so he promised us Supply knees but here's the thing he doesn't reply, or respond just simply because you have a need. He's because we are the we have a part to play. But what he responds to is faith. That's why he testament when Jesus healed many people, he said, according to your faith belong to you, don't you think there were many people there who had a need for healing? Many people were around who had a need for healing, but he only responded to the ones with faith.

Jesus even taught, you know, those stuck up Pharisees. He says, you know, in the time of the feminine Israel, he says, There were many people who are needy, though they were in famine, but only the profit only appear to a widow, a needy widow who exercise faith. Right. And they will, they will, you know, wanted to stone him for that because you know, what he was saying? So now we also have to prove it confident expectations. This is crucial and important.

Some people again, have the, you know, the notion that when we come to God, we must not expect anything, and so they pray This prayer like, oh God, if you want to do it if not, that is fine. I don't think that that is operating in faith that is actually doubtful, right? That is uncertainty we need to come to God wants certainty with belief, confident expectation. Now, first gen five says this, we must approach God with confidence. This is the confidence we have in him that if we ask anything according to His will, he hears us and if we are confident, no in indeed any errors, then whatever we desire, whatever we ask, we shall receive. But confidence goes in their hands again, Hebrews 416 says, come boldly, not in fear timidity, but boldly confidently expecting God to do something God rewards those we just read that Hebrews 11 six, if you don't believe God is going to reward you, why come to him with your petitions in the first place?

It doesn't make sense for one to come to God asking for anything because remember prayer already? What is it one of the definitions of prayer is making requests or certifications or entreaties to God asking God blessings and favors and so forth. But if you don't expect him to answer, there's no need for you to ask why ask if you don't expect. So some people don't expect and believe that God will answer the prayer. So that's why sometimes we wait forever, not knowing that God is already on the move. Already, this will obey His command is very important and pleasing God.

Again, we must meet the condition the text goes on to say because of that, we just quote part of the Scripture, right? He says, We receive these things because we do those things that are pleasing to Him. Right? If you are disobedient on purpose, willful disobedience, you are not going to receive blessings from God like that. It's just like your children. Now I have a son, I love him.

I will do almost anything for him. But when he acts up and he's out of order, I'm not willing to bless him like that. It doesn't mean I don't love him. I love him. He's my flesh and blood. Right?

So the Love is a whole different things. Love you, too. doesn't have to do anything to deserve the love. The Love is given freely. That same thing God we don't have to work to for him to bless him. But the point is, though, he has conditions though, for those blessings, and you can be rebellious and disobedient on purpose and expect for answers to come your way and no, no, no, no, you know, sometimes again, we like to water things down.

No, this is the Word the Word of God teaches that we must be in harmony with the will of God. For example, in the same book of john, many, many people try to quote this particular promise. It says, Whoever does not obey God or keep his command, he says, You are Elijah and the truth is not in you. Right, you are a liar and the truth is not in you. So we must be in harmony with the will of God because many of the promises again are based on conditions of obedience, of doing what he says again, if you want forgiveness, you have to be obedient to the commandment says what we paint and confess who ever confess their sins. Even salvation is an act of war.

You don't walk through it, but you still have to be obedient. Because the verse is Whoever believes that's the part that you have to do that is the act of obedience. One must willingly or pay the command that says believe because guess what? People will be lost in order to kingdom because they don't believe. So believe it is a command believe in is an injunction that you must This is your part. So he says, whosoever believes in him will have eternal love, but those who do not believe will be condemned.

You see the difference there. So even something as simple as that requires us to be obedient. We must have a forgiving attitude and a forgiving Spirit. Jesus clearly taught man if you expect forgiveness of God and you don't forgive others, neither will your heavenly Father forgive you. That's plain and simple. Now humility is very important, right?

If humility in a repentant heart are very, very crucial for God, he says, He cast the crowd down but lifts are those who are humble in His sight. so humble yourself in the sight of the Lord and He shall leave You up into time, you have to hold yourself because the ways of God is, you know, this is not what is not natural for many of us. So we have to exhibit humility, to be able to want to do what he says to be able to be led like a child, then unity be united with the family of God. This one is in Matthew 18 is principle where two or three are gathered again. And if you ask anything, according to His will, he is those people because they are now united together. So that's why Yeah, there's part for you to play your prayers, the most important By the way, nobody can pray for you, like you will, will pray for yourself.

But there are times when you must be united with others because God also hears their pros. And not only that, but there's power in unity that's powering togetherness as well. So those are the key conditions that if you meet these conditions, I'm telling you, my friends, you are going to see way more answers to your prayers in the affirmative. Now, if there are conditions that are necessary for answered prayer, then the opposite is equally true. There are also hindrances To answer bricks, these are the things you need to avoid the first set here. These conditions are what you need to do these need to be present.

But these one also here, you have to get rid of these, because these will prevent the answers to your prayer. And I have an assignment for you at the end. I'm not going to give you an exhaustive list, I'm going to give you some of the key things that prevent the answers to affirmative answers to prayer number one is selfishness. James, chapter four, verses two and three clearly teaches that we ask, and we act with wrong motives we do not receive because we act with wrong motives. And then when we do receive, we go and consume it upon our own lives. And this is the reason why many people who prefer money don't get money.

Because the problem is, is Oh God, if you blessed me with money, if you blessed me with this, I'm going to do this and guess what the money you have right now. You're not doing it as something God does test us and he proves us he will give you money. But what happens when we get that money, then instead of doing the thing the good deeds that we said we were going to do? Nobody will buy new cars buy new clothes by owning this binder. So that's what he's saying you consume it upon your own loss or your own desires, your own selfish desires and selfish needs. So selfishness prevents God from moving mightily in your career, no doubt does is very important.

Doubt is the opposite of faith when you're not in faith. Remember, God responds to faith is the faith. The prayer of faith was the embassy. So it's not just praying, but you must pray with faith but doubt forfeits the answers to prayer because God replies and response to faith. That's what he said, when it comes to God must believe that He exists, and that he's more of those who diligently seek it. Now what is doubt Now let's look at this now.

For example, again, remember when we said conditions to the promise, James one five says if any of you have wisdom, notice this now if you want wisdom, if you're confused about a situation no matter you need wisdom, counsel guidance from God to make a decision is a simple process. He says if you lack will them accept me who gives to all peoples liberally or freely without reproach without upgrading them and it shall be given so notice that it shall be given but what's your party says you must pass if you don't ask you what do you will receive but then jail goes on with the next three verses. Now he says what? So that's what you gotta do what he said, Well, let him ask in faith, and let him have some faith. So he says, if you don't ask him feed you are you are like the waves of the sea driven with the wind and toss and he says, For Let not that person think that they shall receive anything of the Lord.

Why? Because a double minded person is unstable in all their ways. indecisive person is unstable in all their ways. And that's one of the reasons why you should think before you will pray. Some people are not certain when they're going to quit, or they're wishy washy, and that's why we say, oh God, if you want to find if you don't need that, that's double mindedness. Or you're praying this one act in another way.

You're not moving in harmony. you're praying to be a millionaire, but then you act in like with poverty, consciousness, are you you're just spending everything That you got that has not been focused and single mindedly focused in following the ways of God. So these are the ways in which you know, if you pray for God to be to be healthy or to heal you, but then you go back and you keep living in an unhealthy lifestyle, destroying your body, temple. Come on, man, you, lady, you're not really serious. Think about that. You say, God heal me.

And then you go back with the same body breath. And you do the same exact thing that got you in this predicament in the first place. That is not working in harmony with the will of God that is not working according to faith that's actually lawlessness and doubt together. So lawlessness is disregard for God's requirements, God's principles, God's laws, he said, Those who don't keep God's law, you are what you are what you mean you are not prospering, you are setting yourself up for failure. So that's why he says you have to be obedient because again, and don't look at this thing is law. Sometimes we hear the laws of God or you know, listen, you cannot escape this, my friend.

What would you call a person who don't want to even obey the laws of their country? Or the laws of the city of state? Then those people will go to jail. Think about it. You don't want no, you know lawless person living in a neighborhood. Why?

Because you know, they keep breaking the law. And guess what? They put your life in danger. And we can't trust those kind of people think about it. But so God has principles. We call them laws, his commands his direction, these are for our own movies.

And actually, His commandments are not grievious. They're not burdensome. He said, they're for your own good, because here's the thing. There are laws of money. There are laws of him the laws of everything relationship, if you violate them, you're not going to get the blessing. That's why he says, because these laws are typically the same thing as promises.

So within that law, there is a promise. So for example, we have the law of gravity. If you go up on a 50 storey building, or you jump off that building, are you going to be praying or your way down and say God saved me that you probably that that prayer is not going to be answered. Right? Because you've knowingly and willfully violating the laws of gravity. And the law of gravity says pretty much Listen, whatever, whatever goes up is going to come down, if there's nothing else holding it up, or, you know, other laws of thermodynamics at play.

So, whatever you throw down about drug, this piece of paper, or this bottle of water is gonna fall to the ground. This is heavy, this is light, but they are gonna still fall to the ground. But you cannot be like that. You have violated no laws, and that's why we are not blessed. That's why we're not blessed. You can't say God, give me a good spouse, and then you do everything to treat them like the devil.

Treat them bad. No, that's why he says, speak kindly. Be kind, tender hearted, forgiving one another. See, that's what those principles were. They have a loving relationship. If you are in harmony with them, you get good relationship, you violate them, you're not going to give them relationship.

There's no one pride and arrogance like God said that's an abomination actually know what an abomination is, is detestable is disgusting. It makes God want to throw up. So when you are prideful and arrogant, God hates that spirit and he would not even regard that prayer. So that doesn't necessarily come as a prayer. Why? Because he says it's an abomination.

He says, pray is an abomination. And he says, what people fall for being prideful. So therefore, not only that, he said, Listen, God resists the proud, but he gives grace to the humble. Notice, Hebrews 416 says, Come to the throne of grace that you may have seen him, and mostly to add grace to help in your time of need. If you want grace, God doesn't give grace to the problem. That's why we need to humble ourselves as we mentioned, in the previous section on the conditions necessary, and pretend sickness and insincerity again, God can read the heart that is similar to James chapter four.

But again, what we're not sincere when we pretended, like the man who went up to the temple and prayed he was looking at No, it says the other guy in the public and he wouldn't even raise his head towards heaven. He was just simply bowing his head low and in contrition apart, but the other one was so proud looking up and having said, I thank you that I'm not like this one, this disgusting one. And God, Jesus said, Listen, the one who went home more righteous and who receive answers to prayer was the other man who was very humble, and wasn't so pretentious. This other one was bragging now he's doing all this good deeds and so forth. God look at his heart if your heart is not right, and so, again, he must be sincere when you come to God in prayer. Now, this one is crucial in humanity and oppression of the poor, God speaks very highly of the poor, he defends the cause of the poor, the orphans, the widows, and if we are people who are causing injustice to the poor, refusing justice to the poor, and we are pressing them by making their life more difficult and burdensome if you're an employer You wouldn't pay your employees.

These are things God is against you, right? Because the pool he says when they pray to me, I'm going to hear them and he's gonna respond. He's gonna answer their prayer against you. So you don't want to be in this predicament. Do not oppress the poor or your prayers are not being answered by God, you might think you're still grasping, but that's not the hand of God that is blessing and surely God will require it of you. At some point, remember that?

Another one is unconfessed sins on confessed sins. David was clear on this he said if I regard iniquity in my heart, God will not kill me already. So this is simple. Don't say that God is not here in your brain if you haven't been fasting in your life, man, you know, that's not that this is not that's not even quote that doesn't qualify for an answer to prayer is it isn't the thing we think we think we are really praying. That's what I'm trying to bring these principles at play because what many people think that doing is just one word, but it doesn't truly qualify as a public Because you have not even met the frost condition of approaching. So this to me actually is one of the things I want you to do early on in your season of prayer, confess your known sins, I want you to know, hey, you let God know as well, because we don't always know.

But that's why we should be like David who says, search me, O God, search my heart, see if there be any wicked way in me. Because again, our hearts are deceitful and desperately wicked, we like to see ourselves better than we truly are. So that's why we need the person eyes of God and the Holy Spirit to reveal these things to us. But many times we willfully come to God with things in our life, problems with people, and we don't want to make it right. God is not honoring those prayers, my friend, I'm sorry to be the one to tell you but those scriptures say the same thing. God does not hear that those type of prayers.

So now, in addition to this one, there's lies wickedness, greed, hypocrisy, envy and the life again, God is clear he will not hear you not because he cannot he is not like he's deaf. Isaiah 59 says, you know That, you know, his ears can hear you. Boys hands are too short that they cannot say he said no, but your iniquities your big kidness your evil that you are doing these other things that have prevented my hand from reaching out to save you. These are the things that are preventing my ear from hearing those prayers. Because if I should answer those present affirmative, what's going to happen? God knows violating his own words, and now he will be alive.

It's like being an accomplice to crime. And that's why with our children the same way we want to reward most of their good behaviors, but we don't want to reward their bad behaviors, otherwise, we embolden them to continue to do in that wrong. So that's why we mete out punishment in society for violating the principles of the city, the state the country, because if you rewarded people for crimes, then more people will be emboldened to do crime. And now that what kind of nation would that be, it will be total chaos. So it's the same thing. God is preparing us for that Eternal City and if we go into the kingdom of heaven, With lies and cheating and all these different things, we're gonna have problems again, this whole mess, I'm gonna start all over.

So God is trying to work upon us now to purify our house, purify our hands, and our thoughts and all these things, so that we can be now this is preparation, okay for him. This is the preparation for that eternity. Think about these things. Again, the promises of God already have the blessings contained within them. However, there are conditions to each of those things. That's why Jesus, I finished the last module with this verse in the book of john 1317.

Now that you know these things, unless you do them and see again, that itself, he promised a blessing in that verse, but he says, Okay, now that you know them, you will be blessed. But only if you do that, you see that? So you say the blessings is with the application. So it's not simply about knowing what to do. We must now take these keys and move heavy. Take these keys.

I just shared with you to unlock the storehouse of heaven. So here's the application exercise, right? Again, less than those who do now. So I want you to prepare as you're going into the presence of God to pray, whatever your next season of prayer is, I want you to go through this exercise, apply the principles that we just covered. First question would be this. What possibly hindrances are there in your life currently, okay, currently, that could potentially limit the move of God in any area of your life.

Go back to the list, see if there any of these agencies, and then you make them right with God as the next step, you make genuine confession and repentance. Now, for those things that you've listed, whatever they may be, you go back again, if it's pride, selfishness, unforgiveness, bitterness, whatever it may be, you've stolen all these things in just simply make them right because God is willing to forgive right we know that forgiveness is guaranteed. If we confess our sin, God is faithful and just to forgive us. to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. So there's no reason for us to stay away from him as though he wouldn't forgive us. And if we don't come and confess, then we are saying we actually we doubt we don't believe that he will actually forgive us.

And now that's also making him out to be alive, which he is not, because we've already established that. Next is think of anything else. What other things can you list as conditions for bringing about positive answers to prayer? Or what are hindrances? What are the hindrances can you think about that could limit prayers in your life, for example, again, when I didn't give you an exhaustive list, but one of the other things, for example, you know, husbands, if we are better against your wife, God, that hinders your prayer, if you're better against your wife, that's creating problems. So the Lord has to bring us in harmony Malika, Chapter Two talks about that as also he says, You've been unfaithful with the wife of your youth.

So these are some of the things that you've dealt treacherously with. So therefore God is not honoring your prayers, because of them. So I want you to begin to assimilate these things. Put them out before God, and see how he changes your life, and how much more power you will have in the present. So again, during this entire course my challenges to you is to create only bold prayer. forget those dry by prayers, creaky prayers, two minute prayers and all of these little, you know, bottoming words that don't really mean anything.

Pretty bold, tenacious prayer, big, bold blessings over your life, your family, your health, your relationships, your profession, all of you. Bring them bring the tough things that you believe tough to use, not tough to God equals for 16. Again, I leave you with that, come boldly to the throne of grace, God is giving you that invitation. They don't have to come with fear, doubt, trepidation, no, go with boldness. Confidence is a loving father. And Heaven is not going to go broke knew that there are unlimited resources just waiting for you to take hold.
