Prayer is a privilege that God has given to His children. We can talk to our heavenly Father directly and receive answers. I realize from the attitudes of many Christians that they do not believe that God really answers prayer. But why pray if you will not get results? I believe that you can have one hundred per cent results every time you pray.
Why pray if you will not receive an answer? Many people take prayer to be some kind of religious routine they must perform. God’s Word guarantees us a hundred per cent results every time we pray.
If you look closely at the Scriptures that speak about prayer, you will discover that Jesus did not say that we might possibly (perhaps, maybe, in the sweet by and by, all things being equal) get an answer to our prayers. He said that we would get an answer!
I wrote this book for you! I want you to receive one hundred per cent results every time you pray. If it is real, it is real! If it is not real, it is not real! If God exists, then He can answer your prayer.
Is God alive? Is He real? Can He hear? Is He deaf? I am sure you know the answers to these questions. God is alive and well and He wants to bless you. If my God were a piece of wood or a stone, I would not serve Him. We do not worship the sun, the moon or the rivers. We worship a Living God who has power to save and to deliver.
Elijah once challenged the false prophets of Baal. He told them,
“There is no use in serving a god who is not available. Our God is either alive or He is dead.”
…Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud: for he is a god; either he is talking or he is pursuing [using the bathroom!], or he is in a journey, or peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked.
1 Kings 18:27
The god did not speak!
Some years ago, a friend of mine went to a city about a hundred kilometres outside of Accra, the capital city of Ghana. He was accompanying his parents to their hometown. Whilst in the town he had the urge to urinate. Unfortunately, there was no appropriate toilet around so he went into an open space to relieve himself. As he was urinating, he heard screams and shouts from behind. Since he was already in the process, he had to finish. Then he turned round to face the anger of some local residents.
“What are you doing?” they exclaimed. “How can you do this?”
They went on, “You are urinating on our god!! Don’t you know that the stone on which you are urinating is our god?”
This young man apologized profusely but there was nothing he could do about it. He had already bathed their god in his urine! When I heard this story I thought to myself, “If you are a god, can you not say anything when people urinate on you? Can you not protest at the first sprinkle of urine? If you are a god, at least say something when someone urinates on you!”
What am I trying to say? If God is alive, then He must be able to respond to you. He has given us His Word and He has promised to answer our prayers every time.
He shall call upon me, and I will answer him.
Psalms 91:15
Then shalt thou call, and the Lord shall answer…
Isaiah 58:9
These Scriptures tell us that God will answer us. God shall answer!
How much more definite can it be? Either the Bible is true or it is not true. Either you believe it or you do not! Jesus said, And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye
shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
Luke 11:9
There is no word that expresses a stronger assertion than the word shall. I see God answering your prayers right now! By the time you finish reading this chapter, you will experience 100 per cent answers to all your prayers.
You must know the rules of operation for every gadget you acquire.
For instance, a car runs on fuel and not Coca-Cola. If you put Coca-Cola into your fuel tank, you will discover that your car will not work. If you put the right liquid into your fuel tank you will get one hundred per cent results every time you drive your car.
God wants us to have one hundred per cent results when we pray. I want to share with you some important steps which will help you to achieve one hundred per cent results every time you pray. I have used these steps, and I believe that I receive virtually one hundred per cent results every time I pray.
