John 16:23-24 (KJV)
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. Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.
God would never have asked us to pray if He didn’t plan on responding to those prayers. He specifically said, "... ask the Father in my name," because he planned to answer. Understand that prayer is our way of bringing the power of the Holy Spirit to effect changes in this world. You can expect definite results when you pray, brothers and sisters.
God delights in seeing you being fruitful and productive. In today's scripture, He says, “…Ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.” See that? He wants your life to be full of joy! Some people don’t know this, so they tire easily and stop praying altogether if one thing they prayed for did not materialise. If only you knew that God’s glory is seen in answered prayer! Dare to believe, and expect answers when you pray!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
The Lord delights in answering my prayers. So today I proclaim that every word I speak in prayer is fulfilled in Jesus’ name! Amen.
