Deborah-Leigh:
I returned to studying PRAYING BY GOD’S RULES http://bible-truths.com/praying.htm a few days ago.

I was stalled at this teaching from Ray, quote:


SEVEN SCRIPTURAL PRINCIPLES GOVERNING PRAYER

[1] "And this is the confidence that we have in Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, [everything in heaven and earth must be in accord with God’s will {His purpose and plan, Eph. 1:11} or it won’t happen] He hears us: And if we know that He hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of Him" (I John 5:14-15).

[2] "Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, [I cannot stress enough the importance of a clean and clear conscience] then have we confidence toward God. And whatsoever we ask, we receive of Him, because we…

[3] keep His commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in His sight…

[4] And this is His commandment, That we should believe on the Name [and everything that that Name stands for and represents] of His Son Jesus Christ…

[5] And love one another, as He gave us commandment" (I John 3:21-23).

[6] "Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts [so don’t think that it’s okay to pray for your Mother to hit the Lotto Jackpot either, as I believe that God can see through such feigned benevolence]" (James 4:3).

[7] "And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing [Having faith and trust, not just hoping and wishing. True faith can be based only on God’s Word—see James 1:6-7] ye shall receive" (Matt. 21:22).

Ray has revealed that God puts OBSCURITY not ETERNITY, in our hearts. I believe that until God removes that OBSCURITY no one can pray in line with  how only Jesus Christ could and did pray. We might be moved towards the way Jesus prayed yet most prayers  in any other mode or fashion are merely ask lists, recommendations, advise to God and attempts to manipulate the all Sovereign God and to side step Gods Plans in attempts to obtain better circumstances.

Jesus said what the Father said,  and Jesus did what He saw the Father do. They were ONE.

As the teaching PRAYING BY GOD’S RULES http://bible-truths.com/praying.htm shows, praying for God's Will to be done will always get an answer. There is much light in that revelation.

Peace be to you
