CONDITIONS

I am grateful that you have learned to make your requests known to Me with thanksgiving.  This is the secret to believing and receiving prayer.  When you thank Me ahead of time before you see the answer to your prayer manifested on earth, I rejoice because I know that you then have confidence not only that I have heard your prayer, but also that I have answered it.  The answer may not come right away, but you can trust My timing to be according to My will.

You have learned to pray the promise instead of the problem.  However, there are conditions to many of My promises.  You only have to fulfill three conditions for you to enjoy receiving My promises.
The three conditions are to abide in Me, abide in My word, and abide in My love.  I exhorted My disciples to do these three things before I left them to return to My Father.

When you are abiding in Me, My Word, and My love, the prayers that you pray will be according to My will.  John wrote that you can have strong confidence that I not only hear your prayers, but I also will answer them because you pray prayers that are according to My will.
