Living like Jesus’ Foundation

20When the disciples saw this, they were amazed. "How did the fig tree wither so quickly?" they asked.

21Jesus replied, "I tell you the truth, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, `Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and it will be done. 22If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer."

Matthew 21:20-22

The Lord Said to Apostle Renato D. Carillo:

“Son, tell my children that whatever they ask to me, they must expect that all of it will surely be received by them exactly.”

After you prayed, then you must expect to have it as specified in your prayers but do not expect to receive for the things you did not ask from the Lord.

Assurance that God answers our Prayers:

1.    HE SAID IT.

21Jesus replied, "I tell you the truth, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, `Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and it will be done.

Matthew 21:21

2.    IT IS HIS WILL.

14This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.

1 John 5:14

3.    HE ALREADY PROVIDED ANSWERS PRAYER EVEN BEFORE WE STARTED TO PRAY.

24Before they call I will answer;

while they are still speaking I will hear.                           

Isaiah 65:24

            The key word for this is “Expectations”.  We must consider that it is God’s faith that empowers us.  It was already sold out and established, done and answered.

Why we must expect only to God?

a)    For He want us to understand that to Him alone we should trust and not to our own strength and efforts.

b)   It is His way for us to have needs and to let those needs in our lives and to be asked upon Him alone.

c)    He is our God.  God who never tired to listen on all our prayers.

The Lord said:

“Son, tell my people, even they do not have needs or problems, they must still continue to pray.”

            Once we stop to pray, then, it will be the start of our defeat.  If we come to the Lord with full faith and humility, then it will touch the heart of God, and will show His compassion to us.  In God, there is no distance, not limited by time, place and space.

2Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.

Colossians 4:12
