Believe That God Will Answer Your Prayers: Tips to Effective Communication With God, Part 5

Don’t doubt. God is faithful and will always answer your prayers. However, He doesn’t always answer them the way YOU want Him to! Why not? Because He has your ETERNAL happiness in mind. “But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does.” (James 1:6-8 NIV) Story: One of the most dramatic deliverances I have observed happened in a man who was a high priest in the upper echelons of Satanism. Six months after he was set free he gave his testimony in our church. At the close of his testimony I asked him, “Based on your experience on ‘the other side,’ what is the Christian’s greatest strategy against demonic influence?” “Prayer,” he answered forcefully. “And when you pray, mean it. Fervent prayer thwarts Satan’s activity like nothing else.” Dr. Anderson, Freedom in Christ and Harvest House Publishers www.ficm.org
