Welcome to Gospel Truth with Andrew Wama, a teaching ministry emphasizing God's unconditional love and grace.

This very special broadcast of Andrew's classic teaching, a better way to pray,

as originally recorded in 2003, is being broadcast exclusively for our radio listeners.

And now, here's Andrew. I've used that exact logic on people. That's what the Lord is saying

right here. He's not saying that God is like this friend

who has to be badgered and you've got to grab hold of God

and not let go until God gives you the thing that you asked for.

That is against God.

That's an insult to God.

And yet that's the attitude that most of us have been taught and many of us have

employed in our prayer that you just got to stay after God and God for whatever reason may not

be prone to give it to you, but you can make God do it. I can tell you what, you aren't going to

make God do anything. If God hasn't already supplied your need by

grace, your faith can't make him do it. Faith does not move God. That's different than a lot of

people think. But I tell you what, God's not the one that's stuck. He's not the one

that needs to move. God isn't the one it needs to move. God's already done everything. He's supplied

your need before you ever had it. He made the supply before you had the need. God's never

taken, you know, by surprise. The Lord has already healed all sickness and all disease

before you ever had the problem.

It's not like God's got to go out and provide the answer.

God has already done his part,

and we don't have to beg him or plead with him.
