Comment Obtenir Une Réponse À Vos Prières

Comment Obtenir Une Réponse À Vos Prières

Le secret pour obtenir une réponse aux prières est de remplir les conditions fixées par Dieu.

Si vous demeurez en moi et que mes paroles demeurent en vous, vous demanderez ce que vous voudrez et cela vous sera accordé. Ce qui manifeste la gloire de mon Père, c’est que vous portiez beaucoup de fruit. Vous serez alors vraiment mes disciples. (Jean 15:7, 8 S21).

Lorsque nous demeurons en Jésus, nos cœurs lui sont abandonnés ; nos esprits ont soif de vérité et assimilent activement Sa Parole dans nos cœurs ; nos attitudes, nos désirs, nos motivations et nos aspirations passent de l’égoïsme à l’amour ; et nous désirons glorifier Dieu. Puis, avec des cœurs qui vivent pour rendre gloire à Dieu, pour élever Jésus, pour faire avancer Son royaume, nos prières sont accueillies avec joie et Dieu y répond avec la sagesse de Son moi infini et prémonitoire. Ses réponses répondront à nos véritables besoins et à Ses plus grands desseins, et nous, qui vivons dans une confiance constante, nous réjouissons des diverses manières et du timing de la réponse de Dieu.

Mais il existe de nombreuses prières auxquelles Dieu ne prête pas attention – des prières auxquelles Dieu n’”écoute” pas ou ne répond pas.

La prière égoïste : Dieu ne répond pas à la prière égoïste parce qu’une telle prière, aussi religieusement qu’elle puisse être formulée, signifie : “Donne-moi ce que je veux afin que je puisse continuer à me rebeller contre toi, blesser mon âme, gaspiller des ressources et nuire aux autres.”

La prière du prétendant : Une prière d’une personne qui ne croit pas réellement en Dieu mais qui prie pour manipuler ceux qui croient. “Or, sans la foi, il est impossible d’être agréable à Dieu, car il faut que celui qui s’approche de lui croie que Dieu existe et qu’il récompense ceux qui le cherchent.” (Hébreux 11:6 S21).

La prière fière : Une prière que les gens font pour être vus ; se promouvoir comme étant plus justes, plus saints, meilleurs que les autres ; être reconnu comme chef religieux et acquérir du pouvoir sur les autres ; ou pour rabaisser les autres. C’était la prière du pharisien rapportée dans Luc : “O Dieu, je te remercie de ce que je ne suis pas comme les autres hommes, qui sont voleurs, injustes, adultères, ou même comme ce collecteur d’impôts. Je jeûne deux fois par semaine et je donne la dîme de tous mes revenus.’” (18:11, 12 S21).

La prière de rejet de la vérité : Une prière dite par ceux qui prient peut-être même pour la bonne chose, mais le font alors qu’ils nient sciemment la vérité et choisissent ce qu’ils savent être faux. Il s’agirait d’une personne qui prie pour une meilleure fonction pulmonaire tout en continuant à fumer, ou d’une personne qui prie pour un mariage heureux et sain alors qu’elle commet un adultère.

La prière pleurnicharde, plaintive et négative : Le genre de prière faite sans intérêt pour la résolution, sans désir d’arranger les choses, sans désir de mûrir, de guérir, de changer les sentiments destructeurs, sans ouverture pour entendre Dieu parler, mais simplement pour porter plainte et justifier leur rôle de victime et combien la vie n’est pas juste pour eux.

La prière pro forma : La prière faite par cœur, par rituel, par forme, sans aucune pensée ni engagement actif du cœur dans la recherche d’une connexion avec Dieu. L’homme regarde l’apparence extérieure (d’autres humains peuvent observer l’acte d’accomplir une prière), mais Dieu regarde le cœur et sait quand la personne ne prie pas mais récite simplement un rituel.

La prière entendue

Bien qu’il existe de nombreuses prières auxquelles Dieu ne prête pas attention, Dieu sourit et aspire à entendre les prières venant de cœurs honnêtes, de personnes qui croient en Lui et désirent sincèrement se connecter avec Lui, connaître Sa volonté, entendre Sa voix, demeurer dans Sa présence, être transformés par Son amour, être fortifiés par Sa puissance pour accomplir Sa volonté, ceux qui se sont abandonnés et désirent Lui rendre gloire en grandissant quotidiennement dans la vérité, pour devenir des Chrétiens mûrs qui manifestent Son caractère et avoir la capacité de vivre les principes de Dieu, à appliquer les méthodes de Dieu dans la façon dont ils se gouvernent et traitent les autres.

Dieu répondra à toutes ces prières !

Je vous encourage à prier – quotidiennement et souvent – ​​mais à faire de la prière une conversation avec Dieu ; parlez-Lui comme vous parleriez à un ami, ce qui signifie que vous devez Le connaître, avoir foi en Lui et parvenir à Le comprendre. Et rendez vos prières les plus intimes privées, en recherchant des endroits solitaires pour communier avec le ciel, des endroits sans distractions, où vous pouvez demeurer dans le calme et entendre la petite voix douce de Dieu répondre (1 Rois 19:12). Lorsque vous Le connaîtrez, vous comprendrez Ses méthodes, Ses lois de conception et serez plus sensible à Ses réponses, car tout comme vous le feriez avec un véritable ami, vous réaliserez qu’Il ne donnera pas certaines réponses parce qu’elles ne correspondent pas à Son caractère.

Et lorsque vous rencontrez des moments qui semblent être du silence, rappelez-vous que Dieu est votre ami et demandez-vous ce que vous feriez ou penseriez si votre ami humain répondait par le silence. Ne réfléchiriez-vous pas et ne penseriez-vous pas : “Qu’est-ce que je viens de demander ? Est-ce que je connais déjà la vérité, la bonne voie, la meilleure action, mais je veux quelque chose de différent et mon ami me donne le temps de reconsidérer ma décision ? Puis, lorsque le silence semble être la réponse de Dieu, appliquez cette sagesse et demandez : “Est-ce un problème dont je connais déjà la réponse, que Dieu m’a déjà amené à résoudre ? Dois-je résoudre ce problème par moi-même parce que Dieu m’a déjà donné la sagesse, les principes et les méthodes et que maintenant je dois les appliquer pour pouvoir mûrir et grandir plutôt que de Le chercher pour me donner toutes les réponses ?” Si tel est le cas, demandez à Dieu la confirmation pour continuer et appliquer Ses méthodes à la situation, en vous rappelant activement les vérités vitales applicables à votre situation, en réfléchissant à vos choix et en gardant votre cœur ouvert à Sa direction pendant que vous avancez avec un cœur reconnaissant, en vous rappelant également que Jésus a promis de ne jamais nous quitter ni nous abandonner et que nous pouvons recevoir sa puissance tant que nos cœurs cherchent activement à le glorifier.

Enfin, si vous priez pour avoir la force de faire la volonté de Dieu, vous devez vous rappeler que nous ne recevons pas la force pour la tâche tant que nous n’avons pas choisi d’appliquer la vérité et de nous engager dans la mission. Le fumeur n’a pas la force d’arrêter tant qu’il n’a pas choisi d’arrêter ; le coureur n’obtient pas l’endurance nécessaire pour terminer la course tant qu’il n’a pas couru la course ; les eaux ne se séparent que lorsque nos pieds sont mouillés. (Voir Josué 3:13.)

La prochaine fois que vous prierez, souvenez-vous de la promesse de Jésus :

Et je ferai tout ce que vous demanderez – ce qui est en harmonie avec mon caractère, mes méthodes et mes principes – afin que le Fils puisse apporter honneur et gloire au Père en révélant le pouvoir de guérison et de vie de ses méthodes. Vous pouvez me demander tout ce qui est en harmonie avec mon caractère et mes méthodes, et je le ferai (Jean 14:13, 14 REM).

Testimony 9

I really enjoy with you the view of a gracious God. Thank you for sharing the work you are allowing the Lord to do in you.

L., Queensland, Australia

 

Testimony 52

Your unique way in spreading the truth is what we all need today. Most of us don’t recognize the contamination coming from all the lies and selfishness in the world. Because of our fear of death, we forgot how to live. Lies left and right. I was losing hope and faith, because of so many ideas that are always contradicting each other – so many questions answered by other, more complicated, questions – until I found your channel on YouTube.

You did not just give me answers, you also taught me how to answer new questions that arise in my mind. Now I see things differently. I see God’s mercy, grace, and Love everywhere, in spite of all the chaos that we all have done as humans. I don’t fear death anymore. Accepting the Truth and Love about God is truly a genuine Freedom from all the confusions, sufferings, selfishness, pain, and death.

I just wanted to say, thank you, sooooo much for revealing the real Remedy for our infected life. I have a new hope and now see the world in a different perspective!

Testimony 46

Over the past couple of years God has been expanding my view of Himself and His character. Along my approximately 40-year journey, I have often had questions, but was hesitant to voice these and step outside the traditionally accepted thinking, for fear of admitting that I may in fact be eternally lost. In the recesses of my thinking has been the thought – if one blindly accepts (which is widely regarded as “real faith”) and does not question, is this really ‘truth?’ I often find it challenging to grapple with very theological ‘speak,’ but Dr. Jennings has a real gift of explaining spiritual concepts with clear practical examples. The weekly discussions are growing my Christian experience and slowly changing my view of how to live as a child of God in today’s complex world. Finally the whole Old Testament sanctuary teaching moved in my mind from fantasy to reality!

Testimony 39

[This ministry is the] biggest blessing I have ever received! Your DVDs and lessons could not have come at a better time in my life. I have experienced in the past year many difficulties that, if it wasn’t for this wonderful view of God that I have discovered through this ministry, I would not have been able to respond in love and forgiveness. My heart is being transformed everyday by the Calvary-looking God you teach. Hallelujah!! I have tears in my eyes as I write, because my life has taken a complete turn from where I was heading.

I am from Central America. Most of my family is scattered in different parts of the world and all have the same view of God that I had growing up; a distant, exacting, and ready-to-punish-us-with-tragedy type of God. So, I have been translating lessons for my family and, to my surprise, they have also been sharing them with others! I can already see the difference. My brother has often said, “Thank you for sharing, I have never heard it this way!” My other family members are taking an amazing turn from a message of “repent or burn” towards a loving God, pleading to us that we won’t reject him because he loves us eternally.

Bless you for all you do.

Testimony 57

You have helped make sense of thirty two years of confusion. The material you freely provide reorganized so much of my life into such a beautiful pattern that has always been hinted at from within, but misguided with my training and what I was experiencing externally. My filipno parents, who were converted from Catholicism to SDA, were sincere and did their best to raise me the right way and I have deep respect for them. However, being immigrants and not understanding the language made for a difficult transition as I was growing up, which also applied to my spiritual growth as I learned the patterns of religion. I have been listening to as many bible study classes and reading blog posts as my time in a work truck will allow, searching for the practical applications of where spirituality and reality meet, and I thank you for helping me find that. You have helped me reach a point in which I can truly say that I love God, that I believe He loves me, and, like David, I delight in His law. God bless.

Emmanuel V., Calgary, AB Canada

Testimony 48

I just want to tell you how blessed I have been reading “The Remedy!” It has become a daily part of my devotional relationship with God. In it I have found a God of love and a God that loves me! The bible has come alive for me! It is the first time that I can say that I have felt hope fill my heart as I have read God’s word. This is good news I can share! Thank you, Dr Jennings! Thank you for your heart for others. I can’t put into words how this has set me free! It has strengthened my trust and love for God.

Testimony 37

Hearing Dr. Jennings’ presentations in person came at a pivotal moment in my spiritual journey that began about nine months ago, when the fault lines inherent in my belief system began to crack under questions that most reasonable people end up asking about God and His nature. These were questions I couldn’t find answers to, and they shook my faith. I was unable let it go any longer and be satisfied. My Christian experience became distant. I was afraid; the fear in me rose like thorns, pushing me away from Jesus. And then someone heard my questions and introduced me to this ministry, and my life has totally changed.

I can tell you that this new, “present truth” message is far grander and life-changing than when I shifted from being an agnostic and then a nominal Christian. It has radically altered my worldview, because it reveals a God that makes sense. It is a revolution. I believe that Dr. Jennings’ message is the final message that must go to the world. If any message could be called “righteousness by faith,” as abused as that term is by the right and the left, this is that message, because Jennings’ biblical message identifies a God who is different, whose character isn’t an impossible contradiction.

I walk this path now without fear. I see people differently, and the Holy Spirit burns in my heart. Many call Dr. Jennings’ message false and compromising, but it isn’t false, because I’ve seen the fruits within my mind and body. It is not compromising, because in this message is the only road to holiness that makes any sense. No longer do I behold a pagan god who is always angry and suspicious. Instead, I behold a God who is freeing and loving, always working for our good, and giving me every reason to love my enemy even to my own death, just as Jesus pleads with us. God is good.

Testimony 69

After reading your book, ‘Could It Be This Simple,’ someone was explaining Christianity in a way that made sense to me for the first time in my life. One morning, I simply prayed “I’m sorry and I love you.” As soon as I silently said that, I could literally feel God’s presence and light flood down on me from above and fill me up with love and joy. I sat there crying my eyes out, because I was so overpowered with this feeling of love and joy. It was just so incredible. I hope that more people can read this book and get a blessing from it. It’s really amazing.

Rachael H.

Testimony 61

I grew up in a prominent protestant church and had what I like to call religious anxiety. I’ve always had questions about God and Salvation that no one could seem to answer.  I didn’t know how to find resolution. During 2020, at the height of my anxiety, I fell to my knees and begged God to show me truth and light and to give me the hope that I’ve been longing for. Days later, I stumbled upon your online videos and it was like a veil was lifted and EVERYTHING made sense! For the first time in my almost 39 years of life, my religious/spiritual anxiety has lessened. I feel a sense of freedom and peace I’ve NEVER had before… and it’s all because my view of God has changed. Thank you!

Testimony 8

Thank you for the ministry you are sharing with us, it is a real blessing to us and especially to my husband and myself! You are encouraging us to think for ourselves and not just to except everything, without thinking it through, with God’s word!

M.K., USA

 

Testimony 47

I can’t even begin to thank you and your ministry enough for introducing me to the Truth about a loving and merciful God! I have my daughter and her in-laws to thank for sharing with me “The God-Shaped Brain” as well as your website. I listen to the Bible study class lessons on my daily walk. May God continue to bless your thirst-quenching ministry!

Testimony 54

I had a lot of pressure, as a pastor’s kid, to conform and be “good.” I was good at being “good.” I thought my life was going along well until it all started falling apart and I could not figure out why! In my search for “why is this happening to me, God?” I came across your book, “Could it be this Simple,” and God started revealing to me the many distortions I held about His character, His principles, and how He has designed His universe to operate. I remember thinking, “Wow, I have had this all backwards.” I was happy and angry all at the same time. Happy to have the light of truth break through the darkness, revealing a wonderful, beautiful way of understanding God and His plan for His children, and angry, because I felt deceived and cheated by the church, my family, and myself!

My heart thrills when I listen to your bible study lessons. Literally I have gone from death to life. It is a journey I look forward to every day, as God reveals areas this distortion affects. Praise GOD! I will ever be grateful to God for this ministry and your cooperation with the Spirit!

Karen S., Portal, AZ, USA

 

Testimony 6

I got the book “Could It Be This Simple?” a few months ago and the reading was wonderful and I was fascinated. I lent the book to a friend at work. She is having a difficult time and the book is helping her to find Jesus and I found this very exciting. She has asked me questions and I can see her life changing.

Testimony 32

The message [of Come And Reason Ministries is] for all Christians (and those who may become Christians) and not just Adventists or any other group. It is difficult to imagine why any [anyone] with intellectual and spiritual honesty could find fault with the way you explained the healing substitution concepts and the truth about God’s character, though I know some will reject and criticize. On behalf of those in our group near Tacoma, WA, thank you and your staff for all of the hard work and for sharing the Gospel in this manner. God’s message of healing love will be carried to the whole world and then Jesus will come – He promised it.

Terry U., Tacoma, WA, USA

 

Testimony 55

I was born [into the church], then I left it for many years. 10 years ago, I came back, but I could not take the hypocrisy and the lack of answers to the missing pieces. I struggled, but I did not abandon my commitment to know the truth. God is leading me to the simple understanding of his relevance and I am relearning what the church taught me as a youth… that he loves me, that he has led me to a knowledge of him such as I have never known. He is using Dr. Jennings to connect the dots that are now so apparent and hiding in plain sight!

Dean P., Arlington, TX, USA
