“If you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted” – Jesus (The Bible, John 15:7, New Living Translation).

Not everyone’s prayers will be answered by God. Jesus makes it clear that the prayers God hears are those spoken by people who remain in Christ and who have his word constantly remaining in their hearts.

We can’t just live our life any way we want to and expect God to answer all our prayers or give us everything we want when we ask for it. First, we must remain in Jesus. That is, we must focus on and pursue a relationship with him daily. How do we do that? Well, Jesus answers that when he says his Word must remain in us for our prayers to be answered.

In other words, we must read, sift through, ponder and seek to obey his words or teachings found in the Bible, if we expect to remain in Christ and have our prayers answered. In fact, the very fact that his words live in our hearts will change our prayers and make them line up with God’s will. And God always answers such prayers!

So, keep praying, but also keep seeking to meet the clear conditions Jesus sets for having your prayers answered. Incredible things will happen.

we find ourselves rebelling against God himself, since he gave them their authority. Further, his protection over us is removed and his displeasure falls on us in small and big ways.

I know. I’ve failed in this area many times in my life and have paid a heavy price in misery & loss as a result. On the other hand, when I’ve submitted to authority (so long as clear sin wasn’t involved), God richly blessed me and protected me from harm. Everyone else around me may have taken losses, but God protected & blessed me.

Please, I can’t recommend this book highly enough. Get it. Read it. Follow its counsel, because it is thoroughly Biblical, as you’ll see when you read it. It cannot be refuted. Ignore the Biblical truths in this book and pay a heavy, high price. Follow the Biblical truths in this book and find blessing and protection under God’s umbrella.

Get the book. Read it. If you can’t afford it, communicate with me. I’ll give you a free copy (I have several). May God bless you as you take the journey.
