PRAYER IS BASED ON LEGAL DOCUMENTS !

PRAYER IS BASED ON LEGAL DOCUMENTS : Because of what Jesus did 5000 years ago, you have a legal right to come in prayer and petition God to intervene in the affairs of life and expect God to perform His part of the covenant. God's word That is a legal document, more so than any legal document that has ever been set forth by any law of this land. Jesus is the guarantee that it will work. The Bible is a legal contract between you, Jesus, and the Father. It is God's will to you and for you. Some people have not even read the will. They do not know what is theirs or who they are in Christ Jesus. A contract governs at least two people: the one who made it and the one who receives it. If you had a contract, it will tell certain things you would have to do. Then it would state certain things the other party would have to do to make it valid. It is legally binding on both parties. If you don't fulfill your part, it releases the other party from performing his part. It will become void. This is what Jesus is stating here. He wouldn't do it because he is his friend. God does not answer prayer because of friendship. He answers prayer because of a legal document, and the results is governed by the rules of this document. That Document Is God's Word. And the rules or "Let him ask in faith, nothing wavering . For he that wavered is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed, For let not that man think that he shall receive anything of the Lord." (James 1:6--7). Now I am not trying to get you under the Law. Don't misunderstand what I am saying. I want you to see the need of accurately stating your prayer according to the Word that Jesus taught. He said that he wouldn't do it because he was his friend. But thank God, we have a contract with our Father and we are part of the family, joint heirs with Jesus. This is just a friend who came to a man for bread. There is no relationship, just friendship, but we are born of God. Now, if we are truly born of God; the old nature is dead. God is Our Father and we are His children. Jesus goes on to say, if we then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto the your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give. . . It times we have become bogged down in this passage of Scripture and have failed to see that this is not portraying God at all. He is simply showing you that prayer is not based on friendship or on need.
