And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you (John 16:23).

Some folks don't understand why they're praying and there seems to be no answers. They're so used to praying without answers that they now lack the confidence to pray.

You can pray a whole lifetime without praying the right way, but that's not what God wants for you. You should have results every time you pray. He asked us to pray because He wants to answer our prayers; but we must pray correctly.

In the New Testament, we pray in the Name of Jesus. We don't ask Jesus for anything; we don't pray to Him. You can tell Him how much you love Him, and give thanks to the Father, in His Name, but we don't pray to Jesus, in the Name of Jesus; that'll be wrong.

When we pray, we stand in the place of the Master; we're taking His place. So, we can't be praying to Him in His Name, or while standing in His stead; that won't make any spiritual sense.

Furthermore, in the New Testament, we pray the prayer of the righteous; we pray knowing who we are in Christ —the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. James 5:16 (AMP) says, "...The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working]." So, you see, prayer in the New Testament isn't a religious monologue; it's geared towards effecting changes.

We're not at all helpless or stymied in a corner when we face challenges. We can make power available in prayer —power for change! We can be definite enough to effect definite changes in the realm of the spirit through prayer, to our advantage. That's why Jesus said, "...men ought always to pray and not to faint" (Luke 18:1). That means pray always, and don't give up, because when you pray, you make power available for the works of righteousness.

Jesus said ask the Father anything in my name. Stop reading the Bible upside down. You can't ask Jesus anything in His name... It doesn't make sense sef

Go back sir, and read the first verse in red letters carefully. Thanks

The Bible taught us how to pray... It's for a reason. People perish because they know not... That's why we've got to tell the whole world this gospel, the way it is.

In addition to the OP, Christians (especially in Nigeria) should stop praying to God to do what He already did. You're praying to God asking Him to do what he already did instead of get in the word and see how you get what's already available to you as your inheritance. Such prayers are exercise in futility. May the Lord help His Church!

Wish for a change, it was a Christ Embassy member giving a half baked sermon
but oh no, it's Don Jazzy Pastor Chris again
It's like vooks usually would say: another regurgitated food by Pastor Chris for the baby chicks

Did Oyaks pray for his marriage?


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0z3oKe_KZlg

In this clip he clearly suggests he as a man of God would never seek divorce because God hates divorce. But they are now separated and probably divorced.

Methinks Oyaks does not know how to pray the 'New Testament way' OR God ordained the strained relationship for him.

But there is another option; Oyaks is still praying for his marriage so we should not test his theory yet.

This is a self-fulfilling prophecy; whatever you won't receive in prayer, you will explain it away as 'work in progress' or praying the wrong way, while whatever you will receive, you will claim you received because of praying the 'new Testament way'.

You can never go wrong with this garbage.
