THE WILL OF OUR COVENANT !

THE WILL OF OUR COVENANT : "And in that day you shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, whatsoever you shall ask the Father in my name, (in my word), he will give it you. Hitherto have you asked nothing in my name: ask, and you shall receive, that your joy may be full (John 16:23-24). If your joy is not full, then you need to ask so that you may have the full joy Jesus promised. His will for us under the new covenant is that our joy be full. Jesus taught us to pray to the Father in the name of Jesus. We have authority to use His name and His Word, the but we are not to pray to Jesus. Somebody says, "Yes, but the Lord knows what I mean." Well, that is true. I am sure the Lord does know what you mean, but He doesn't answer answer prayer just because He knows what you mean; He is a prayer when you pray according to His rulebook--- the Bible. You must fulfill your part of the covenant or contract. FAITH MAKES PRAYER WORK : The Word of God Makes prayer work ! The one element that makes prayer work is faith. The word of God is the object of your faith for faith only comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God ! (Romans 10:17) and (Romans 10:8-9). Because the Word of God is designed to be in your mouth and then it gets in your heart: Jesus said from the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks (Luke 6:45). Faith is a spiritual law designed to unlock the treasures of the unseen. Sometimes people will classify this one or that one as a faith teacher. If you teach the Word of God, you are a faith teacher. The Word of God is the Word of faith ! (Romans 10:8-9). Prayer gets its power from faith, which in turn is the Word of God and faith works by love. Somehow down through the years people have gotten the idea that prayer makes faith work. It doesn't. Faith makes prayer work. Faith will work without prayer, but prayer will not work without faith. You can put your faith to work through prayer. And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up (James 5:15).
