  2. John 16:23-26Power and Effectiveness of Prayer!Comparing Mat 7:7-8 with Luke 11:9-10

  3. Verse 7 tells us of the promises from God.Verse 8 tells us of the blessings from God.

  4. 1. “Ask, and it will be given to you;” – “Everyone who asks receives”.

  5. This is the base line answer to your prayers; when you ask God for something you will receive an answer, plain and simple. Sometimes the answer is yes and sometimes it is no!

  6. God answers yourPetition – DesireYes – YesYes – NoNo – YesNo – No

  7. When you pray appropriately and habitually there will never be an exception; when you ask you will receive.

  8. 2. “Seek, and you will find;” – “He who seeks finds”.

  9. Seeking does not mean coming up with an answer to your prayers on your own or solving your own problems.

  10. It means Bible study, searching the Word of God and digging out the doctrines found in the Bible that are applicable to your prayer.

  11. When you are out looking for something valuable then your heart’s really in it.

  12. His Word is how He communicates with us. He speaks to us through His Word. John 16:13

  13. John 16:13, “But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come.”

  14. “Find” - to find out, to discover something you are interested in or something you want, to come upon something after purposeful search.

  15. When you examine the Word of God you will hit upon answers to many of your prayers and you will find out for yourself what to think, say or do in the situation you are praying for.

  16. 3. “Knock, and it will be opened to you.” – “To Him who knocks it will be opened.”

  17. “Knock”, is actually comparable to the Faith-Rest Technique based on the context of Luke 11:5-8.

  18. “Open” means to move something from a shut or closed position. Something that was previously shut will be opened.

  19. It is opened by God, He does the work, this is grace and we receive answers to our prayers through His Grace Pipeline.

  20. “Receives, Finds, and Opened” Our prayers will be answered, we will discover its meaning and our eyes will be wide open to the will and plan of God.
