Lesson 21 Warring Against our Flesh, Praying God’s Word
Question 1
Greetings friend, welcome back.
Praying According to God's Will
In the last lesson, we understood the need for persistent prayer, for being bold in coming to God and asking for freedom, and for not taking no for an answer.
But, today, we will learn that not just any kind of praying will do. For example, we could wrestle with God pleading for a million dollars, but it is unlikely that God would give it to us because a million dollars is not something we truly need.
“When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.”
James 4:3
In this lesson, I will share what God has taught me about praying according to His will. What this amounts to is latching on to God's own words and praying them back to Him.
Notice this passage:
“If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.”
John 15:7-8 NIV
Question 1. What are the two requirements to receiving whatever we ask for in prayer?
