Michael Zarlengo, author of Tabernacle Gifts, Our First Day in Heaven, has deeply searched the Scriptures, this time for God's secret to answered prayer. He follows the fragrant incense of answered prayer throughout the Bible to learn God's secret. His discovery will astound you.Did you know that in the Old Testament God's people were given eight prayer laws? When God's people prayed according to their eight prayer laws they always had their prayers answered. In the New Testament Jesus and the apostles explain the true meanings of these eight prayer laws for us today. These eight old prayer laws reveal God's New Testament secret of answered prayer to receive anything we request in His name."You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it" (John 14:14 NIV).What a promise! However, do you receive everything you ask God in prayer? If not, you aren't alone. Many Christians do not have the answers they seek. "I thought God answered all prayers," one might say. God does answer all prayers; however, we often do not receive what we request."That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord'' (James 4:3 NASB).God's Word says that this is because we are asking incorrectly."You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss"(James 4:3 NKJV). How do we ask correctly and, as Jesus said, receive anything we request? In this book, we will learn the truth about prayer so we will receive the answers we are looking for."The secret of the LORD is for those who fear Him, and He will make them know His..."(Ps. 25:14 NASB)The author using only the Bible, listed-out and studied every prayer recorded, every Old Testament prayer law given to Moses, every example of praying, and every teaching on prayer by the Lord Jesus and the Apostles and noticed a repeating pattern for effective prayer of the same eight elements, given in the same order. The book describes his astounding discovery; it is not eight things we are to say in prayer, but the eight ways we are to live in order to receive anything we ask.
