Verse of the Week - Mark 11:24 - November 15, 2015

Disciple's Prayer Life

A couple of years ago, I participated in a bible study entitled, Disciple's Prayer Life - Walking in Fellowship with God by T.W. Hunt and Catherine Walker. Week 1 of the study listed four reasons why God answers prayer:

1. The prayer acknowledges God.
2. The prayer is supported by the intercession of Jesus through his priesthood.
3. The prayer is supported by the intercession of the Holy Spirit.
4. The prayer comes from one who is related to God and Christ.

Jesus was instructing his disciples in Mark 11. 

Therefore, this biblical promise is supported by the intercession of Jesus through his priesthood. Additionally, as a child of God and heir to the kingdom (Romans 8:17), we are related to God and Christ. Plus, we were given the Holy Spirit who intercedes for us. (Acts 15:8)

In conclusion, God will answer our prayers based on the principles above IF it is in his time and plan for us.
