/How to Have Your Prayers Answered
FOUR ATTITUDES WE NEED IN ORDER TO RECEIVE AN ANSWER FROM GOD.
Luke 1:5-23
1. You must be willing to let God answer in His own TIME
v. 18 "How can I be sure of this?"
v. 13 "The angel said to him, `Don't be afraid Zacharias, your prayer had been heard'"
You spell faith -- P A T I E N C E
You Keep On Praying Until One Of Three Things Happens:
1. You get the ANSWER
2. You get the ASSURANCE that you're going to get it.
Mark 11:24 "When you pray believe that you've receive it, and you'll get it."
3. You keep praying until God reveals to you that It Is Not His Will
2. We must be willing to let God answer IN HIS OWN WAY.
