God created us with inherent desires so that He may fulfill them according to His goodness. Yet, despite His Word assuring us that we will receive whatever we desire and ask of Him, our prayers often go unanswered. Are we simply desiring the good God intends for us wrongly, or have we not yet learned how to truly pray and receive what we ask for in prayer?

In this message titled “When Ye Pray - Part 2,” Pastor Jeffrey Walter explains why we often err in desiring the good God intends for us, and shows how to cultivate and obtain pure desires. He teaches the purpose of prayer and the need to obtain the inward assurance of having received what we ask for in prayer, even before its outward manifestation. He stresses the need to surrender, focus and meditate in prayer. He explains what it means to pray in the Spirit, its benefits, and offers practical guidance on how to approach and navigate prayer effectively. Ultimately, he urges all to labour in both desiring and praying rightly.

May this message empower you to cultivate the right desires and labour in effective prayer so that you may receive answers from God.
