How to Enjoy Answered Prayers (2) Enjoy the Prayer [Centered On Testing and Approving]

** Starting Words
* If we can truly believe that [whatever I think, judge, say, do] are absolutely [the perfect will pleasing to God], then we can enjoy complete peace, freedom,
authority, and hope. All of man’s problems are: ① do not understand God’s perfect will; ② do not test and approve the perfect will of God; ③ no assurance
of the perfect will of God (no firm belief). Actually God already told us, test and approve and we can receive, receive and firmly believe then we can enjoy all
authority, power, and gifts…
* The greatest differences between the prayers of non-Christians and the prayers of children of God are: ① is it communion between Father and child? ②
whether can hear the voice of loving Father, and thus receive the plans and power of Father? ③whether following the guidance of Father God, and thus see the
help of Father God? The prayers of non-Christians are all self-centered, for the purpose of acquiring something. Moreover, in their lives, there is no [such
foundation which God promised them, and that which they should receive]; but the prayers of the children of God who have already died and risen together
with Christ, and who received new lives, should test and approve the contents which God prepared and which God wants to give, and submit after testing and
approving…
* A born again saint truly enters into [sanctification and can enjoy every good and perfect gift] beginning from the moment when he truly understands [how to
test and approve the good, pleasing and perfect will of Father God], and makes [prayer centered on testing and approving]. Before this, no matter how
seriously or devoutly he prays, he falls into the state of [muddle-headedness and foolishness] that Paul spoke about; therefore, the more zealous he is, the more
ironies it brings
# Until one day, when I sincerely test and approve this world and my life through [the word which God told me], then I truly discover the other side of the world,
the whole world is filled with the glory, power and voice of God; and discover [another me]; actually I am not [the person whom I always thought I am], but
I am child of God, body of Christ, temple of the Holy Spirit, citizen of heavenly kingdom, royal priesthood…

** Scripture Reading: Ro 12:1-2，James 1:5-8，4:1-8，Ep 5:15-21

1. We have already heard, seen, possessed [the living and active word of God]
* Many saints are muddle-headed because [they do not treat the word that Father God already said (the word which they already heard and understood) as the
real voice of God]…
1) All servants of God who are used greatly by Him have the experience of [meeting God], but more important than what the naked eye can see and the
physical ear can hear, is the [word of God] which they heard, can continue to be the [living and active] reminder in their lives and living, so that they can
submit, receive power, see fulfillment <De 30:11-14，6:6-9，Jo 1:8-9，2 Ti 3:14-17>
- [what I am commanding you today is not too difficult for you or beyond your reach… the word is very near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart so
you may obey it] <De 30:11-14>, [These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about
them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind
them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.] <De 6:5-9>
- What is important is not what their naked eye or physical ear see or hear, but it is because they believed and followed the promises and word of God which
they heard; they all received [the eternal plans of God] in their spirits because they believed, and because they believed, they discovered [the perfect will
(promises) of God in each of their lives], and because of their belief, they can see [how God is present with them, how He commune with them and walk
with them]; therefore their entire lives are centered on the altar, brethren, serving, and they can see the fulfillment of God, and the glory which they see,
hear, experience gets more and more exciting…
2) The [voice of God] which we heard, Christ the [Word which became flesh] whom we saw, [all the mysteries of the Holy Spirit] which we possessed today,
are better than what Abraham, Moses, David received <2 Co 3:1-18，He 9:11>
[You show that you are a letter from Christ…written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human
hearts…Now if the ministry that brought death, which was engraved in letters on stone, came with glory…will not the ministry of the Spirit be even more
glorious?]
- We have also heard the [promises, teachings, prophecies of God] that Abraham, Moses, David and other prophets had heard, and confirm the truth of how
the word which God gave them is completely fulfilled through the whole history
- We have also already seen the Lord Jesus Christ [Word became flesh] descending upon the human world, to tell us the spirit of the gospel which Father
God reveals, and to live out the living word of Father God, as well as to submit to the will of Father God [died and resurrected], fulfilled the foundation
of eternal salvation, and after that rose to heaven and seated at the right hand of the throne, in control of all the authority in heaven and on earth, now still
rule over all peoples and nations according to the perfect will of Father God, to gather holy people to build the kingdom…
- The infinite Holy Spirit which is beyond time and space enters into the lives of we the holy people who believe in Jesus Christ, to fulfill the great work of
the [4 gospelisation] through the perfect will of Father God and the fulfillment, instructions, guidance, anointing, and power of Christ.
3) The Lord has not withheld from us any wisdom which we need in our days on earth, comprises everything → must become fixed perspective, and have to
use this fixed perspective to judge all things => Summing up and organizing the word of God will lead to the following key points; if can use this
perspective to test and approve in everything, the infinite Holy Spirit will reveal to us the perfect will of God:
① You are my beloved child, I will be with you forever, all your conditions and encounters are arranged by me
② You will not die eternally, I have prepared for you everlasting beautiful things = 4 gospelisation (days on earth), receive crowns and rule over the eternal
kingdom
③ You are loved by me, therefore you have to always see the great love I revealed to you, and have to love me, love the children whom I love
④ I have already given you the wisdom for all things, therefore, you can learn, test, approve, experience and expand
⑤ I will timely provide for your needs, you have to live by relying on the spiritual power, wisdom, physical strength, finances and manpower which I
bestow upon you
=> When the 5 points described above become our perspective to see our conditions, encounters, all things, the Holy Spirit will reveal the perfect will of
God to us in a timely fashion and according to matters = first need to grasp [the mystery of seeing Immanuel], and receive [the freedom of being called],
with a heart to love Father and man, learn [to test and approve the perfect will of God in everything] and acquire experiences…
2. Therefore, as long as have the heart to test and approve the perfect will of the Lord, can hear the voice of the Lord
*Another problem of saints is they always do not test and approve
 * The Holy Spirit is the spirit of the living God, spirit of Christ, the spirit who is working in the lived of born again saints. When born again saints test and
approve the perfect will of the Lord with a heart to love and submit to the Lord, the Holy Spirit will convict him, instruct him, anoint him, and give him
power…
1) All the perfect will of the Lord are hidden in all my conditions, relationships, living fields, time
* Know oneself absolutely according to what is revealed by the word of God = children, Christ’s body, temple of the Holy Spirit, royal priesthood, reign
eternally as king together with the Lord
- Unique loving kindness and grace are in the conditions I possess today = all are the works of God
- When I receive the everlasting promises and [make a covenant with God], then I can see.
# God asked Abram, Jacob and Simon to change names
# Who will ever think that 100-year old Abraham and 90-year old aged lady Sarah were not only the main characters of that era but also the main characters
of the entire history?
# Who will ever think that a 17-year old teen who was always bullied by his brothers could actually become the main character who ruled over Egypt, saved
Israel, governed the whole world?
# Who will ever think that Daniel, a youth in captivity…? Who will ever think that Ruth, a woman who totally failed…? Who will ever think that the
prostitute Rahab…?
* All the holy people who believe in Jesus Christ, all receive a gift bag [full of all the everlasting blessings in heaven and on earth]. Life after being born
again is like opening this bag everyday, and enjoying the timely gifts which are allocated for each day
* The everlasting perfect will of God on me is that through my days on earth, all the conditions which I possess, my interpersonal relationships, meetings in
my 7 living fields, He can ① make me born again, sanctify me, make me serve and receive crowns (individual gospelisation); ② use my life to bless my
spouse, children, descendants; ③ let me be involved in [the life movement initiated by the regional Christ fellowship], and win over the brethren that God
arranged in the regions; ④ continue to expand this life movement to the ends of the earth and to all peoples
- At the same time, need to understand the roles, gifts, mission that God has planned for me. Therefore, can test and approve the things and perfect will that
God planned for me everyday
2) After building the [living operating system] by first centering on Christ fellowship, then can see [the perfect will of God in my conditions, relationships,
living fields, my time everyday]
- Understand the contents of what I have to learn more about, what I have to strengthen my prayers on, the contents of my participation in serving / and
understand the contents of my gifts, roles, mission, supplication, intercession / and connect my contact network with brethren and church, as well as
receive the contact network of intercession, evangelism and missions from all brethren, to receive the [eternal inheritance] together
# Forefathers of faith: Abraham’s entire life was centered on the altar / Moses and Israel led lives centered on Tent of Meeting and brethren / apostle
church’s brethren-centered living <Ac 2:41-47>/ the blessed Christians of all eras did the same
3) By doing fixed time prayer, then can enjoy the blessings of [receiving the perfect will of God any time and in all things]
- On the Lord’s day, receive the contents that I should learn, pray and serve for the whole week…
- At the first moment in the morning, receive the illumination of the Holy Spirit, commune with God in love, discover the perfect will of God, receive
wisdom, power and hope, intercede for loved ones, to start a day’s living, will see that [the whole day is blessed]/ noontime renew power, acquire more
precise plans / night time count the Lord’s blessings and give thanks, anticipate for tomorrow and rest…
- Living after receiving the blessed schedule, will receive joy in spirit, peace in heart, physical health, can have balance, power and effect in daily living…
4) Always enjoy [prayers centered on testing and approving], as days passed, can grasp the perfect will of God in all things more and more clearly
- The journey of lifetime blessedness / the wisdom and testimonies that can withstand tests in all things /can discern more clearly the voice of God and
conviction of Holy Spirit
3. If follow by faith, can see the Lord starts working
*The other problem of saints is they do not have assurance that [their own judgment, words, deeds, are the perfect will of God]; therefore they cannot enjoy
the authority from God, they are powerless in their words and living, they are often discouraged and discontinue their prayers and ministries, and do not
know how to testify…
1) It is very important to firmly believe that [my judgment, words, deeds are from the Lord]
- In this way, then can receive a heart of submission, enjoy peaceful heart and mind, speak with the authority of God, have the strength to persist to the end
in the things we do
- The perfect will of God is the gospel = Good news (God's word=God's spell=Gospel=Good news), when my life firmly believes [the perfect will of God],
I become a messenger of the good news; when I spread this good news, my footsteps will be light, my heart will be joyful, my voice will be pressing and
powerful! (regardless of whether at home, among brethren, at workplace, at mission fields, or among those people who mourn, hunger and thirst for
righteousness, whom I meet everyday…)
2) When preserve the heart and mind of loving kindness, peace, joy, hope that are brought about by faith to face man and things, will see the anointing, power
and rewards of the Holy Spirit coming upon my life unceasingly
- In my heart, continue to think of all kinds of wonderful wisdom, have more and more assurance and joy; in my words and deeds, manifest the glory and
fragrance of the Lord; wherever I go, the Holy Spirit will work, forces of darkness will be removed, heavenly kingdom will descend, will see others’ lives
being born again, healed, sanctified…
- The life of a living sacrifice, entirely become serving, everyday can see wisdom, gifts, power, rewards being added day after day…
3) Therefore, can receive beautiful evidences in all things, and be a living testimony
- Receive the practical gospel message and testimonies that are relevant to the current circumstances of the party involved / all peoples need such gospel
message
4) Blessed testimonies bring about blessing of meetings, blessings of meetings in turn bring about blessed ministries
- The [great and unsearchable things] prepared by God are gradually revealed and fulfilled
** Closing Words
 * If you are already the holy people belonging to Christ, then regardless of your current conditions and circumstances, if you wish to receive the infinite loving
kindness and grace of God through the conditions you possess today, the secret lies in [start testing and approving the perfect will of God through the word of
God which you already heard and believed]…

Prayer Topics for This Week:

1) We have already heard, seen, possessed [the living and active word of God]: Do I really understand: What I have heard, seen, possessed today, are more wonderful
than what Abraham, Moses, David received? Through the revelation of the Bible, Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirit, Father God already revealed to me the perfect will
that concerns me in all things, and He practically influences my daily living?
2) Therefore, as long as have the heart to test and approve the perfect will of the Lord, can hear the voice of the Lord：Have I already enjoyed the prayer [centered on
testing and approving]? Have I already received: The perfect will of the Lord hidden in my conditions, relationships, living fields, times? Have I understood: If my
living is not centered on [the learning, experiences, serving, prayers, testifying for the Lord in the Christ fellowship], I cannot receive the perfect will of God hidden
in [my individual self, family, career, contact network]? How does my fixed time prayer affect my blessedness in all things daily?
3) If follow by faith, can see the Lord starts working: Do I firmly believe that my judgment, words and deeds are [the perfect will of God]? When I speak and act with
such faith, can I see the anointing and power of the Holy Spirit coming upon me? Everyday in all things, do I receive wonderful evidences to be a living testimony?
At the same time, can I see the effects brought about by the testimonies?
