God wants us to pray and get what we pray for, but there are requirements we must fulfill as we approach God in prayer. Today we are going to learn about an element of successful praying, but in two aspects—the negative and the positive.

When you pray it is necessary to first give thanks—for all that God has done and all that He is going to do. The more you worship and praise and thank Him, the more you’ll believe He is able to meet your current needs.

Jesus stated this Himself: “If you ask anything in My name” and “Whatever you ask in My name, that will I do, that the Father might be glorified in the Son.” Who would want to bypass Him in the face of such promises? Jesus has done it all on our behalf.

What an encouraging message this is! Learn that when we approach God in prayer, we must come to God in faith. Not a doctrinal kind of faith, not theology, but faith in God’s faithfulness, in His character, in His reliability.

Let Jesus be your example as you say to the Lord, like Jesus, “Not my will, but Yours, be done.” Be willing to renounce your own will, putting down your rebellious ways.

This message is one that could well revolutionize your prayer life! Listen and discover that God’s ability to answer our prayers goes exceeding, abundantly beyond all that we ask or think. It begins by you changing your negative, unattractive image of God.

God does not make promises and then change His mind.Every promise of God in the Bible that fits my situation and fills my need is for me NOW-and there are over eight thousand of them! But many of these promises are conditional-we have no right to the promise until we meet God's conditions.

Everything that belongs to Jesus Christ belongs to us, "if"...Today, Derek explains actual steps we must take to obtain the inheritance that belongs to us in Christ Jesus. Listen and be encouraged to hear that ALL God's promises are available to you!

God's divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness.Our God is not stingy. He is not in spiritual or financial need. He is the author and source of everything and He provides for His people in abundance. So how do we become recipients of all that? Through His very great and precious promises in the Bible.

Did you know the Holy Spirit confronts you with a choice that determines your destiny?Today, Derek explains how we depend on the Holy Spirit in every way. Among other things, He is our Servant-Guide. Confronting us with a choice that determines our destiny is part of His function. He reveals the Father and the Son to us, equips us with His gifts, and guides us to our meeting with our heavenly Bridegroom.

What, exactly, is "the promise of the Spirit"? And how can we receive it in faith?Scripture tells us that Abraham was blessed "in every way," and that we Christians might come into that blessing. The Holy Spirit is called to help us understand and receive our inheritance. Today Derek explains there are five specific ways in which the Holy Spirit helps us.

The will of God for us is abundance--that we may serve Him with joy and gladness of heart.Today, Derek brings out the material blessings that are contained in Deuteronomy 28. If we listen to the voice of the Lord, we will be blessed in the city and in the country...and all that we put our hand to do.

On the cross, Jesus became our substitute, bearing our wounds.Deuteronomy 28 contains the definitive list of blessings and curses-both of which come upon us and overtake us based on one principle: If we listen to and obey the voice of God. Many physical benefits are included.

On the cross, Jesus bore the curse that we might walk in the blessings of God.The requirement to Israel in the Old Testament was to listen to the voice of God. In the New Testament, too, Jesus repeats this command when He says, "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me."

Blessings will track you down when you obey the voice of the Lord...Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law. When we walk in obedience to God, we don't have to pursue blessings, they overtake us. Blessing naturally results from obedience to God.

The meaning of New Testament is the same as in "last will and testament."We are heirs of a kingdom, but many Christians do not realize that fact, nor do we walk in our inheritance. But first, we must be delivered from the domain of darkness. Satan has no more legal claim against us.

Few people are prepared for the death of a loved one. A couple could live together for many years and yet not be prepared when God calls one of them home. That is unrealistic because God is going to take one home. And don't forget: caskets come in all sizes. But, we can face the death of a loved one in victory and it can prove to be yet another evidence of God's love and faithfulness.

If you are to face death with peace, confidence, and with calm assurance, there are four main things Derek would like for you to know. The extraordinary thing is that people go through life knowing full well that they are going to die, and yet never make adequate preparation for that sure event.

There are two main judgments in Scripture-the judgment of believers before the judgment seat of Christ and then the judgment of unbelievers before the Great White Throne. Learn about how these differ one from the other.

Today, Derek speaks about the next main event which will follow the resurrection of believers-and that is the Judgment of Believers. That phrase may surprise you. You may not think there will really be a judgment of believers. But indeed there will be! The Scriptures are very clear about that.
