I want to speak on the subject keys to

answered prayer. Keys to answered

prayer. One of the biggest secrets of

prayer is that prayer has protocols. And

those that don't understand the

protocols of prayer, they pray a miss

and get no answer.

One of the biggest challenges um could I

have the the treble come down a bit is a

a bit disturbed whether here or there I

don't know where it is I'm just so one

of the greatest challenges of prayer is

that we have people who pray they pray

and nothing happened we have people who

people can pray oh people can pray and

pray and pray and pray and pray and

sweat and sweat and sweat and one decade

has come and they have still failed and

because of that lifestyle today young

people don't like Jesus

many people see Jesus as an attempt to

fail in life. Sometimes when you're

going to church tomorrow, even your own

mothers will tell you baby, if you're a

young girl, they want you to find some

rich man and marry and go. You see, they

they make it sound as if church is for

failures because they have tried it and

never got it. They have believed like

you are believing today and they failed.

And the secret wasn't that God was a

failure. It's whom they followed and

where they went. Hallelujah. The problem

has been where they went, where they

began their Christian faith and who led

them

because God is so principled. If it's

not a commissioned place, if it's not

somebody he has sent, it is almost

impossible for him to regard anything

that you say there. This morning, I'm

going to share with you some secrets

that will help you pray anywhere,

everywhere, and get an answer from God.

I'd like us to read the book of First

John 5:15. In the Bible says if we know

that he hear us. If we know before we

come to pray we ought to believe that he

hear us. The Bible says whosoever comes

to God must believe that he is a

rewarder of them who diligently who

painstakingly do everything

to be noticed by him. Who diligently

what? Seeking. People who do everything

to seek the face of God. He rewards

them. Now people come and do that thing

hapazarly halfway do that thing anyhow

do it in their do it the way they like

and then they expect God to give them

the reward I don't know which one of you

can choose what time you want to go to

work choose what kind of duties you will

do in your workplace and your boss will

still pay you but unfortunately

Christians believe that in God that's

for God he's so kind that anything you

do great he will reward you that's how

it works and today we're going to go

through the keys to answered prayer in

life amen the Bible says if we believe

that he hears us. Whatsoever we ask, we

know that the petitions we have asked of

him, he will grant it unto us. Are you

ready for God's word? Are you ready for

God's word? Amen. Number one, when we

must come to prayer, we must come washed

and forgiven. Hallelujah. We must come

washed and forgiven. The Bible says in

the book of Psalm 66:8, it says, "If I

regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord

will not hear me." The Lord will not

hear me. He says, "If I have I have

pride to hide certain things in my heart

for which I will not ask forgiveness

about the sin as killing somebody." But

your

can now by reason of the blood of Jesus

go boldly into the throne room of God

and make petition to him and receive our

request. Hallelujah. And so we must come

washed. You must come as washed though.

You must not come as the most holy

person. You must not come as the most

prayerful person. You must not come as

the one who has never sinned, but you

must come as one who owes God for

forgiveness. Are you understand? You

must come as one who whose me who's who

has enjoyed God's mercy and values it.

Jesus said something. He said two men

went to pray in the temple. One said, "I

thank you that I'm not like other men. I

am holy." Jesus never said the man was

lying. He said, "I am holy. I fast twice

a week. I pay my tithe. I do everything

right.

But one went to

You jump into prayer without asking for

forgiveness. You jump start

command the heavens. Command what? On

whose basis do you forget that the place

you stand is by the basis of someone's

blood spilled for you? Do you forget

that your sunship is by the

qualification of what Christ paid the

price?

It wasn't by your ability. It wasn't by

your strength. It wasn't by your might.

It was by the grace of the Almighty. So

Bible says grace is not works. So no man

should boast about their place in the

kingdom. We all came as sinners whom God

has forgiven. That is the only way.

Jesus says he who is sick has no need of

a doctor. Who is not sick has no need of

a doctor. So those who must come to God,

who wants to become his children, they

must be people who has been saved. Go to

the book of Revelation. The Bible says

John said, "And I saw people whose whose

garment had been washed in the lamb's

blood and they were wearing white

garment rem and the garment the garment

what which was white was the what? The

righteousness of what? Of God given to

them. You're not going to enter into

heaven by being holier than anybody.

You're going to enter because Jesus has

died and paid your price. If he hasn't

paid your price, you are definitely a no

no go place for Jesus or God. Amen.

Proverbs 15:29 says, "The Lord is far

from the wicked." Who is a wicked

person? A man who

is not true.

But the Bible says if only you a child

maybe that theory can be true. But if

you a child of God, if you are bought

and saved by his blood,

then God compares himself to us.

So when we come to God, we must

understand whatsoever we ask God, he

will give us.

The most important is we must qualify as

a son. We must qualify as his property,

as his own. Then what we ask him, he

will give to us. It doesn't matter how

long it takes, he will give it to us.

Amen.

Number two,

you must

talk with God. We then become determined

to know what he wants to do with us. As

little as this child, and I'm I'm not

exaggerating. As little as this child, I

knew that one day I'll preach the

gospel. I was in a poker one day and my

and my uh lecturer asked me, "What do

you want to become tomorrow?" I said,

I'm going to teach God's word and I want

to make God's word available

want to go there and do that job. He

said no he does it himself

and Ghana those who are using people by

manipulations and mental control

pastor than you where will your work be

purpose you understand God's will in

this life and you understand your

purpose you fall in line with that

purpose and run faster

well when we join the choir. Mommy, you

remember? And my I was the cockroach

voice of the choir. I'm sure nobody even

liked me to sing. When I take my people

say, "What's the guy doing?"

Today I sing and you like it, huh? It

was not

What?
