I found these notes in a hand-sized notebook. I have one date of 2015. I do not remember when or where I took them. So author, place, and time are unknown. In a few places I added my 2 cents into the mix.

Why God Answers Prayer:

God answers prayer to prove He is God.

God answers prayer to build your faith.

God answers prayer so that your joy may be full.

So that you depend on Him.

KEYS:

Pray in the spirit (I Corinthians 14:2)

Allow the Holy Spirit to pray with you and/or for you.

Pray in the early hours. God will seal their instruction and direction in the night hours (Genesis 33:15-18). God wants to warn you of danger and keep His people from pershing. 3 to 6 am is the night watch. The Jews believed that this is when God visits the earth and if you are awake when God visits, you may have visions and dreams and hear God’s voice.

These leadings and God’s voice is not limited to the early hours of the day. God has awakened me at this time and burdened me to pray. But His leadership and voice can happen at any time. The Holy Spirit within you is there for every second of your life. He is perfect at nudging you at the right time. Remember, all of this happens because of prayer. You must be obeying God and love Him. Now in times of mercy, He may still lead you in the right direction.

The Spirit of God will give you feelings of impending danger. Start praying immediately.

You may become heavy with burden. This is when your spirit becomes very, very heavy. Now the soul and spirit are two different things, but they work together. The soul houses our emotions. The spirit is that which was made in the image of God. Again, it is best to start praying immediately.

It is through prayer that you can feel the Holy Spirit telling you of impending dangers. It is through prayer that the Holy Spirit can tell you the intent of other people. In this age, we need help with knowing the intent of people. For example, an opportunist or someone who wants to harm us.

It is through prayer and obedience that helps to unclog our ears and eyes. We want to see and hear the spiritual.
