Why Pray? Part 1
*** Almighty God always answers believing prayers!
He never fails when ever we come in total Faith and Belief... But He does not always answer your prayer in the exact way that you may desire!....

Once we come to realize the unlimited power of a believing prayer; then we will see super natural results!
" Whom ever comes to The Lord God must believe that He is {exist in a state of being }, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him! "

A Rewarder of those who Diligently Seek Him - Hebrews 11:6
by Carl H. Stevens
Christ operating through the believer is the highest expression of human life. It is the only life that will please the Father, because it is a life of faith: total reliance of the human personality upon the nature and character of God. II Peter 1:4 explains that it is in reliance upon the promises that one is able to partake of the divine nature of Christ, because therein he escapes the corruption of the world through lust.
Each believer should examine his heart and cast away everything that hinders the flow of God´s life in his mortal body, through the humility and brokenness of conformity to Christ´s mind. We are to humble ourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt us in due time (3). Jesus has promised to be the Author and Finisher of our faith (4). He dwells in our hearts so that we might know Him intimately, having the "richest measure of the divine Presence, and become a body wholly filled and flooded with God Himself" (Ephesians 3:19b, Amplified). Jesus has promised to be the rewarder of those who diligently seek Him by doing "super-abundantly, far over and above all that we (dare) ask or think - infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams." (5).
Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
2 Peter 1:4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
1 Peter 5:6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
Hebrews 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Ephesians 3:20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

These scriptures give the method to approach God in prayer!
- One of the main things that destroys people's prayer life is the proper understanding as how God answers:
1) Almighty God is infinitely wise and at times chooses to answer prayers in the negative... Because it is not good or necessary, therefore it is unanswered as we might think!
So when this happens to you; remember that in the future you will understand it completely!
2) Almighty God, is Omnipotent - thus can be trusted to Believe His plan is perfect! Learn to rest in His wise decision!
BTW: there will be times when you will thank God for your unanswered prayers! Your choice!
