SECRET ANSWER TO PRAYER
You know that Jesus gave us the no. 1 secret to always pray and to always get your prayers answered. Jesus said, in the gospel of Matthew.
“But when you pray, go into your room, and when you shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.”
Matthew 6:6
In this there are seven secrets to answered prayer that we totally miss.
“But you, when you pray,” In that it says, “when you pray”. It doesn’t say if you pray. That means every person is called to pray every day. At least 2½ hours: Recommended!
“Go into your room”. That means you need to have a place that you consistently go in, with the purpose and intention to seek God and pray. That is the secret place.
“And when you have shut the door”. This is like physically getting alone and becoming quiet and also removing yourself from every distraction so that you quieten your soul and begin to hear from the Spirit of God.
How do you quieten your soul? Read Isaiah 26:3
“You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind stayed on You.”
The Lord himself will quieten your soul when. you are in the secret place.
“Pray to your Father who is in the secret place”. You are not praying to Jesus or the Holy Spirit, rather you are praying to God the Father in Jesus name by the power and guidance of the Holy Spirit. Remembering Jesus promise in the gospel of (John 14:13-14) “And whatever you ask in My name that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in my name, I will do it.
“And your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly” (Matthew 6:6)
“And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. Heathen means Gentiles, “For they think that they will be heard for their many words. (Matthew 6:7)
Therefore, do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him” (Matthew 6:8)
Then Jesus thought the “Lord’s Prayer” in this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen
Testimony:
Our eldest son and his family were down on a short holiday in Goa, last two weeks. Then they returned to the UK on 16th of this month (April 2023).
Two days later, early morning, at around 3.30 am local time, we got a call saying that the baby who is three months old, started vomiting her feeds. Soon after her father got the same attack and hours later his wife and son got the same problem. It was probably a viral attack.
We prayed online and said the “Lord’s Prayer”, the “Our Father”, and fasted. Today the 20th April 2023, in the afternoon we got a call that everyone of them is fine, and this was confirmed through a video call. All praise and glory to God Almighty. We experienced the power of deliverance through the prayer “Our Father”, Jesus thought. Amen.
