This is the first in a five week series, God Wants To Answer Your Prayers. Most people tend to see God as the obstacle to their prayers being answered. We think that God needs to be convinced to move on our behalf. We believe that God has to be talked into the notion of answering our prayers. We try making Him feel guilty, arguing with Him, promising Him, threatening Him, wearing Him down all to try to get Him to do that which is so easily within His power, answer our prayer. But these ideas are completely contradicted by what Jesus said about prayer. The Bible teaches that God wants, it’s His desire, He yearns to answer our prayers. Here’s some links to the scriptures referenced in this message:
Matt. 7:7-11, Matt. 18:19, Matt 21:22, Mark 11:24, John 16:23-24, James 1:5, James 5:14-15, 1John 3:21-22, 1 John 5:14-15, Luke 11:5-9
