Getting Our Prayers Answered

Through Moses, God designed  the law for the Jews

Through Jesus the law was fulfilled with a new covenant

Jesus came to teach the Jewish people

God chose the Jewish people to teach the world the love and blessings of God.

Jesus was born a Jew, raised as a Jew under Jewish teachings and became a Jewish Rabbi… Priest

By exploring the word of God we will find out how to get our prayers answered by petition.

  Matthew 15:21-28     King James Version (KJV)²¹ Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.²² And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.²³ But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.²⁴ But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.²⁵ Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.²⁶ But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs.²⁷ And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.²⁸ Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.
 

Because the woman kept pursuing Jesus for what she needed He had mercy on her and granted her wish. Sometimes we just need to continue to beseech God for our desires.

James 5:13-16King James Version (KJV)¹³ Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.¹⁴ Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:¹⁵ And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.¹⁶ Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

It is important to have faith and a conviction in our heart that God will hear and answer our prayers. There are some steps in this verse we need to follow. Anointing with oil, confession of sins, come together in prayer and supplication to our Lord.

1 John 5:14-15King James Version (KJV)¹⁴ And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:¹⁵ And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.

Again here we are told to have confidence in God that what we ask, within His will he wants to grant to us.

Psalm 20:5     King James Version (KJV)

⁵ We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the LORD fulfil all thy petitions.

 2 Corinthians 1:19     
¹⁹ For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, but in him was yea.

Philippians 4:6-7     King James Version (KJV)
⁶ Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
⁷ And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

2 Corinthians 1:19     King James Version (KJV)

We must humble ourselves and meditate on the word.

Use biblical Prayer. Do our prayers line up with the will of God?

Jesus died to fulfill the will of God. We must be persistent. We are Gods children. God wants to please us.

We must petition God with a list of Scripture pertaining to the prayer we want answered. Not forgetting to pray with thanksgiving, praising God. Jesus through the new covenant earned the right for our prayers to be answered.
