Jesus Has Ordained Us To Receive Answers To Our Prayers

Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain; that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my Name, He may give it you (John 15:16)

One of the wonderful blessings of the new creation life is our privilege to talk directly to God in prayer, and receive answers. When Jesus walked the earth physically, anyone who needed a divine intervention or wanted anything from God had to get to Jesus and make requests of Him. But towards the end of His earthly ministry, The Master declared “And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in My Name, He will give it you. Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.” (John 16:23-24).

You have the right to pray directly to the Father in the Name of Jesus Christ and receive answers to your prayers. Sadly, some Christians don’t have confidence in their own prayers, so they look to others to pray for them. They’re not sure that God will hear them when they pray. But if you’re born again, that shouldn’t be your story for the Bible declares in 1 Peter 3:12: “….The eyes of the LORD are over the righteous,, and His ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the LORD is against them that do evil.”

Thus you’re guaranteed to receive answer your prayers – Our LORD and Saviour Jesus Christ has chosen you, and ordained you to receive answers to prayers. This should make your prayer times exciting moments with the LORD, for you know that every time you pray, you’ll surely receive answers. Therefore the next time you kneel or lift your hand to pray, remember the Words of Jesus Christ – “But I have chosen you, and ordained you…. That whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in My Name, He may give it you.”

God is not holding back from you, so never doubt His willingness to respond to your requests. He loves to hear your voice in prayers, and delights in answering your prayers. Amen!

May GOD bless Nigeria, America and Israel and take care of us; May GOD make His face shine upon us, And be gracious to us; May the LORD lift up His countenance upon us, And give us peace, In Jesus Christ Name, we pray! Amen!
