Youtube Videos that teach how God Answers Prayers
I was browsing youtube for videos that may contain information on how my prayers can immediately be heard and answered by God and I came across one from Tomorrow's World, "Seven Keys to Answered Prayer".
According to the preacher in the video, the seven keys to answered prayers are as follows:
1. Claim God's promises.
2. Persevere in Prayer (cry out to God day and night).
3. Pray about everything that worries you.
4. Thank God continually.
5. Seek God's will.
6. Follow the outline prayer (The Lord's Prayer).
7. Pray in 'Jesus' name.
The thing about this is that i keep on forgetting that I have to be consistently praying for God to answer my prayer. There are times when I worry too much and just worry myself to sleep. I forgot one thing that God asks of me, FAITH. Yes, having faith is a big word in my situation with mountains of debt and little money to pay all of them off but he is asking me to have faith in him to work his miracles in my life. Remember, when you pray you have to ask, believe and receive the blessing. So for you to have your prayers answered, you have to work on your faith.
A Book I Came Across on How God Answers Prayers
After Christmas I went to a bookstore and searched for a book I heard on a TV mass but when I ask the staff it was out of stock so I just looked for some other materials that may interest me and I came across "The 7 Great Prayers" by Paul and Tracey Mcmanus. I was contemplating whether to buy it or not since the book says it started on the internet, I ended up not buying it and researched it online instead. What made it caught my attention is the situation the couple authors are in that made them create the prayers that literally worked wonders in their life. I found some free pdf and audio files on the internet that I read and listened to and it was calming, somewhat like reassuring. I will try and take their 21 day challenge and see how it goes. I will write another post about it here. The 7 great prayers list are:
1. I love you God ...
(Focus your attention on your heart and write 7 statements on why you love
God)
2. Thank you God ...
(Write 7 statements of what you thank God for)
3. God you are inside of me ...
(Focus on God within your soul and write 7 statements acknowledging God's presence in your life)
4.God I attract your blessings ...
(Think yourself as a blessing attracting God's wealth. Write 7 statements of the blessings you attract)
5. God I see you everywhere ...
(Write 7 statements about you seeing God's presence in the blessing you desire)
6. God bless and I love ...
(Write 7 statements about people you love)
7. God let me do your good work ...
(Write 7 statements about the good work you want to do)
I just recently tried doing this and from this day on I am going to make it a habit of praying everyday. I will be posting good results in this blog to serve as an inspiration seeking God's answer to their prayers.
Prayer should be a habit, through good times and tough times. You should always put God first. Remember what he said in the bible, "Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness and all his things shall be added unto you". You have to do God's will and you have to put your trust and faith in him.
Focus on the positive, no matter how bad your situation is. Thank the little positive things in your life instead and surrender your worries to him. Never cease praying. Be fervent in praying . God will never fail those who seek him and have faith in him.
