EVERYDAY IN THE WORD!
SATURDAY JANUARY 31, 2026.
SUBJECT: WHY MANY PEOPLE HAVE A PRAYER PROBLEM!
Memory verse: "Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them." (Mark 11 vs 24.)
READ: Mark 11 vs 22 - 23; John 15 vs 7; 16 vs 23 - 24:
Mark 11:22: So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God."
11:23: For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.
John 15:7: If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.
16:23: And in that day you will ask Me nothing. Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you.
16:24: Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.
INTIMATION:
Why do many people have a prayer problem? The problem of not being able to pray, not praying in the right words, not receiving answers to their prayers etc. They are always running around looking for who to pray for them.
The prayer problem is a problem of not having faith in God and His Word. What is faith then? Faith is believe in God and His Word. Faith bothers on the integrity of the Word, and of the ability of God to stand back of His promises or the statement of fact in His Word. It is also the believe in the loyalty or fidelity of God to His promise. People with the prayer problem have no trust and confidence in God. If you don’t have faith in God and His Word, how then can you commune with Him in prayer?
Another side to the problem is the ability of the believer to stand in the Father's presence without the sense of guilt, condemnation or inferiority. Such ability is lacking in people with a prayer problem. The real question here is, "Have a believer right to stand in the Father's presence and make his or her petitions known to Him without a sense of guilt, inferiority or condemnation?"
Here are few things that every believer should know:
1. The Scripture says, “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” (Second Corinthians 5 vs 17.) We are recreated in Christ as entirely new creations with everything about us new. Old things have all passed away, and all things are new about the believer. His or her past doesn’t exist again before God.
2. As a new creation, you have received into your spirit the life and nature of God. The old things have passed away. These old things are spiritual death, your union with Satan, and your old sins—the sins committed while you were spiritually dead, and in union with the Satan. The new creation is the product of God. It is created in Christ Jesus, it is born from above. It is born of the Holy Spirit, through the Word. And the new thing stands uncondemned and reconciled before the Father.
The moment we become new creations, we become the righteousness of God in Christ (Second Corinthians 5 vs 21). This is because you have been justified and made righteous as if you have never sinned before. The righteousness of God means the ability to stand in the Father's presence without sense of guilt, condemnation or inferiority. From the moment we are born again we are sons and daughters of God.
It would be an abnormal thing if He should recreate us, impart to us His own nature, and leave us under the blighting curse of condemnation, unable to stand in His presence because of being overwhelmed with the sense of guilt and inferiority. As His children we know we have the ability to stand in God's presence free from all sense of unworthiness.
3. We know for a fact that we have a legal right in the Father's presence because we are legally born into His family, and He has legally adopted us and accepted us as His children. "The Holy Spirit Himself has born witness with our spirits that we are the children of God." (Romans 8 vs 16).
4. We know another fact, that we have a legal right to the use of Jesus' Name and whatever we ask of the Father in that name He'll give us. (John 15 vs 16; 16 vs 23 & 24). This has cleared up every issue in regard to our ability to stand before Him in the throne room without condemnation.
It is now obvious that fellowshipping with God in prayers is based on legal grounds, based on statement of facts, and not based on promises. All things belong to the believer. It is only a problem of our taking our place, enjoying our rights: "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ" (Ephesians 1 vs 3).
Prayer: Abba Father, thank You so much for all the inheritance You have given me in Christ for believing in His finished work on the cross for me. You have blessed me with all every spiritual blessing in heavenly places in Him. Give me the enabling grace to take my place and enjoy my rights in Christ, in Jesus’ Name I have prayed, Amen.
PRAISE THE LORD!
