You were designed for answers to prayer, but what do you do when you don’t see your prayers answered in the way you hoped for? Bill Johnson teaches from John 14-16, and Jesus’ words “Ask and you will receive, that your joy may be full.”; answered prayer and joy are connected. Bill shares examples from the disciples time with Jesus, and how they drew near to Him when they did not see a miracle happen that they were contending for. We can be confident that we were designed for answered prayer, as we co-labor with God and yield our lives to Him.

Prayer is intended to be powerful. Bill Johnson teaches from The Lord’s Prayer in Matthew 6 and describes how it is to be a model for us. Praying “On earth as it is in heaven” is not a prayer to simply keep us positive or busy until Jesus returns; it is the dream of God’s heart to co-labor with us, His sons and daughters, to see His Kingdom established in the earth. May we see impossible situations bow to the name of Jesus as we seek God’s heart and walk in the authority we have been given.

Everything we think and do comes from either love or fear. Bill Johnson shares examples from the Israelites exodus out of Egypt of how their choice of fear led to complaining and caused them to lose sight of who God is. Complaining will always distort our view of God’s goodness and faithfulness. As the gatekeepers of our own hearts, we have the choice to live and speak from love or fear.

God is calling us to go beyond convenience and co-labor with Him through prayer, that we would see His will carried out on the earth. We have the opportunity to “birth” the promises of God as we labor and partner with Him in prayer. He didn’t promise this journey would be free from suffering or pain, but we will see His purposes fulfilled as we hold onto and stand firm upon His Word. Refuse to settle for anything less than the promises of God for your life.
