‘Pray And Obey.’
John 14:13-15.
Sometimes our prayers are not answered because we fail to heed the Words of Jesus spoken about Prayer, which were many.
a) John 14:13. The ultimate purpose of Prayer is that God will be Glorified. With this purpose Jesus will do whatever we ask in His Name.
b) John 14:14. Jesus said again that if we ask for something in His Name He will do it.
c) John 14:15. If we love Jesus we will obey His Commandments. Obedience and answers to Prayer are linked.

‘The Purpose Of Jesus’ First Coming.’
Isaiah 61:1.
a) Jesus was anointed by and filled with the Holy Spirit to carry out His tasks.
b) He came to bring Good News to the poor people.
c) He has been sent to heal the broken hearted people.
d) He came to bring freedom to the captives.
e) He came to let out into the Light those people bound in the prison of darkness.
(Through this Second one I rejoice in The Purpose Of Jesus First Coming)

Chris.
If we love Jesus we will obey His Commandments. Some people are intimidated by that word “obey” because of their past personal experiences or because of the way that their Nation has been bullied in its recent history by other Nations. These are justifiable needs and hurts to pray about but they are not an excuse for neglecting to obey God.
