(The Father Delights In Answering Your Prayers)

TO THE BIBLE: John 15:16
“You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you.”

LET’S TALK
Did you know that praying in the Name of Jesus is like having ‘VIP Access’ to the most important person in the world? The Lord Jesus didn’t just give us a phone number; He gave us His own Name as the password!

One of the wonderful blessings of the new creation life is our privilege to talk directly to God in prayer and receive answers.

Jesus said, “And in that day you will ask Me nothing. Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you. Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full” (John 16:23-24). So, Leo’s fear that his prayers stop at the ceiling isn’t true. In Jesus’ Name, your prayers go straight to the Father. Hallelujah!

You have the right to pray directly to the Father in the Name of Jesus and receive answers to your prayers.

Sadly, some folks don’t have confidence in their own prayers, so they look to others to pray for them. They feel like they’re ‘too young’ or not ‘holy enough’ for God to listen.

But if you’re born again, that shouldn’t be your story for the Bible declares in 1 Peter 3:12: “For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and His ears are open to their prayers…”

Thus, you’re guaranteed to receive answers to your prayers—Jesus 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 hands to pray, remember the words of Jesus—”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 isn’t holding back from you, so never doubt His willingness to respond to your requests. He loves to hear your voice in prayer and delights in answering your prayers.
