If you practice loving others: 

  • You will understand more of God’s truth.
  • You heart will grow in confidence before God.

When your heart doesn’t condemn you, then you have confidence before God

Philippians 3:3 For we who worship by the Spirit of God are the ones who are truly circumcised. We rely on what Christ Jesus has done for us. We put no confidence in human effort,

If your heart doesn’t condemn you, it is a positive sign that you are not trusting in yourself. 

Key: If your heart doesn’t condemn you, you will notice God is answering your prayers. 

The normal Christian life = Your life is centered around prayer. 

It proves that you are depending on God and not yourself. 

1 Thessalonians 5:17. Never stop praying.

2 Corinthians 1:12We can say with confidence and a clear conscience that we have lived with a God-given holiness and sincerity in all our dealings. We have depended on God’s grace, not on our own human wisdom. That is how we have conducted ourselves before the world, and especially toward you.

2 Corinthians 8:9. You know the generous grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that by his poverty he could make you rich.

It’s our fault if we are spiritually poor

Philippians 4:6. Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.

James 4:3. And even when you ask, you don’t get it because your motives are all wrong—you want only what will give you pleasure.

John 6:29. “This is the only work God wants from you: Believe in the one he has sent.” 

Luke 20:27. “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength, and all your mind.’ And, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’”

The condition to answered prayer is that I am always making decisions to love God and love others.

It’s our CHOICE whether or not we are going to pray.

The evidence of answered prayer is that I’m loving God and loving others as I should.

Ephesians 4:30-32 And do not bring sorrow to God’s Holy Spirit by the way you live. Remember, he has identified you as his own, guaranteeing that you will be saved on the day of redemption. 31 Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior. 32 Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.
