Prayer: Praying Acceptable Prayers

 

Humans have always been aware of their inadequacies and the need to rely on God for important helps and assistance. Nevertheless, after the earthly ministry of the LORD JESUS CHRIST, we no longer can approach prayers just anyhow we like.

1. We must approach God the Father through Jesus Christ. That's the formula and ordained system approved by God. Jesus said I am the way the truth and the life. No one gets to the Father except through Me

So, the first step is to embrace Jesus Christ as LORD and SAVIOR. This gives unlimited access to God. The explanation is this, as humans, we are sinners and imperfect, and our wrongdoings constitute a barrier between we and GOD (as GOD is a Holy Being). But Jesus came to the earth to die for our sins, and on the Cross of Calvary, He bore them all.

So, anyone who will believe in this will becoming sinless, by faith. Such can approach God, after putting on the garment of Christ's righteousness.

2. Keep Running Away From Sin. The Bible says the sacrifices of the wicked is an abomination before God. Hence, you must keep living holy and righteously so you can continue to offer pure incense to God when you pray. 

 

3. Pray With Faith. Faith is pivotal when offering prayers to God. Have faith in God. Have faith in the sovereignty of God. Know that He can always do exceedingly, abundantly, far above what you want Him to do.

 

4. Always Worship Him. Jesus said we should give thanks more than we ask. Sure, He knows we have a long list of the things we want God to do for us. Nevertheless, He knows how powerful worship is, and the glorious things GOD can bestow on us when we make Him excited via offering sweet worship to HIM. So, before you ask GOD for something, come into His Presence and give HIM pure Worship.

It is well in Jesus Name Amen.
