FIVE CONDITIONS FOR PREVAILING PRAYER

1. Entire dependence upon the merits and mediation of the Messiah as the only basis of claim for blessing, John 14:13, 14; 15:16.

2. Separation from all known sin, Psalm 66:18.

3. Faith in God's Word of promise as confirmed by His oath. Not to believe Him is to make Him both a liar and a perjurer, Hebrews 11:6, 6:13-20.

4. Asking in accordance with His will, with godly motives, not seeking any gift of God to consume it upon our lusts, 1 John 5:14; James 4:3.

5. Patiently waiting on and for God, James 5:7; Luke 18:1-8.
