The Ability to Pray with Expectancy in Your Heart
FAITH
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
Matthew 7: 8-9
ENDURANCE
For when GOD made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he swear by himself, Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee. And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.
Hebrews 6: 13-15
OBEDIENCE
Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.
James 4:3
But, let him ask in faith, nothing wavering, For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double-minded man is unstable.
James 1: 6-8
If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:
Psalms 66:18
Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear; But your iniquities have separated between you an your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.
Isaiah 59: 1-2
CONFIDENCE
And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things which are pleasing in his sight.
1 John 3:22
Pray diligently, throughout the day, without ceasing, and the Lord will prove his presence in your life.
