“If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.” John 15:7
First comes the faith that causes us to abide in Christ, then comes the powerful prayers.
“My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.” Psalm 62:5
David waited upon the Lord with expectation. Do you expect the Lord to answer your prayers?
“Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you:” I Peter 4:4
While those who speak evil of us believers who will not run with them, we believers can speak to God about them who will not run with us.
