ISAIAH 43:25,26Ģ5 I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.

Isaiah 43:25 and 26 gives us insight into the authority we have in prayer. I want to look at a passage in the Old Testament that teaches us something further on prayer. But there are conditions that have to be met in order for our prayers to be answered: “If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you…” I believe in receiving answers to prayer, all right. Have you ever noticed that many of God’s promises are conditional? If you want answers to your prayers, follow the instructions that have been given to you: If you abide in Jesus, and His Words abide in you, you shall ask what you will and it shall be done unto you. But Jesus added, “And My words abide in you.” If Jesus had just said, “If you abide in Me,” we Christians would automatically have it made because we all abide in Him as believers. This verse is all-inclusive, because Jesus said “My words.” Therefore, any word the Bible teaches on the subject of prayer is covered by John 15:7. The second text is John 15:7, which says, “If ye abide in me, and MY WORDS abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.” The first text I use is Ephesians 6:18, in which Paul is writing to the believers at Ephesus. These two texts will cover anything you want to teach on the subject of prayer. The reason I choose these two for my main texts is because I don’t believe there are any better. In teaching on prayer for so many years, I always take two particular Bible texts.
