THE DOCTRINE OF PRAYER X
God does not answer prayer because the believer is "good," moral, sincere, benevolent, religious, concerned, altruistic, talented or possesses a pleasing personality. Answer to prayer is a divine decision. Therefore the believer's popularity with others is never a factor in answered prayer.Prayer is a weapon. For any weapon to be used effectively, you must understand how it functions before you use it. Prayer must be used as a weapon. Most people blaspheme when they pray because of arrogance while praying and ignorance of how to pray. Effective Prayer Related to Spiritual Childhood.You can have effective prayer in spiritual childhood. But like everything else in spiritual childhood, it is limited and does not peak out until you reach spiritual adulthood. Three problem-solving devices begun in spiritual childhood have a definite impact on the effectiveness of your prayer life: the rebound technique, the filling of the Spirit, and the faith-rest drill. These, along with your persistence in the Predetermined Plan Of God determine your prayer effectiveness. The relationship between the effectiveness of prayer and the faith rest drill is mentioned in many prayer promises.Mat 21:22 "All things whatsoever you shall ask in prayer, believing, you shall receive."Believing refers to the first stage of the faith-rest drill. Mar 11:24 "Therefore I say to you, all things for which you ask in prayer, believe that you will receive them, and they will be given to you."This refers to the faith-rest drill. Prayer cannot be effective unless the believer is residing inside the Predetermined Plan Of God under the enabling power of the Spirit and consistent momentum from metabolized doctrine. ?
