Hear Us From Heaven

God’s Promises


GOD PROMISES TO SEE HIS PEOPLE AND HEAR THEIR CRIES

Psalm 34:15 (ESV) - The eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous and his ears toward their cry.


GOD’S PROMISES ARE OFTEN CONDITIONAL [IF//THEN PRINCIPLE]

2 Chronicles 7:14 (ESV) - if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

What is the IF/THEN Principle?


OUR NECESSARY HEART POSTURE [IF//THEN]
1:

Ourselves and Pray
2: Seek His (not just His hands)
3: Turn From Our Wicked Ways


1 John 5:14-15 (ESV) - 14 And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. 15 And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him.

4: Want What He

//Get His


NOT ONLY DOES GOD SEE AND HEAR US AND ANSWER OUR PRAYERS… BUT HE INVITES US TO PRAY. HE ENCOURAGES US TO COME BOLDLY INTO HIS THRONE ROOM IN PRAYER. HE GIVES US ACCESS TO HIMSELF.

Hebrews 4:14-16 (ESV) - 14 Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
