Prayer
Prayer is the Asking of God to Fulfill His Needs.
It is God Accomplishing His Purpose Through the Prayers of the Believers.
Self-Denial
Self-denial must be Practiced Everywhere!
It is just as Essential in Prayers and it is in Action.

1 THESSALONIANS 5.16-18
always rejoice; continually pray; give thanks in everything, for this [is] the will of God in Christ Jesus in regard to you.
=====
JAMES 4.3
you ask, and you do not receive, because you ask badly, that you may spend [it] in your pleasures.
JOHN 15.7
if you may remain in Me, and My sayings may remain in you, whatever you may wish you will ask, and it will be done to you.
=====
GALATIANS 5.22
And the fruit of the Spirit is: love,
=====
2 CORINTHIANS 5.14-15
for the love of the Christ constrains us, having judged thus: that if one died for all, then the whole died, and He died for all, that those living may no longer live to themselves, but to Him who died for them, and was raised again.
Love
The Love of God is Shed Abroad in our hearts.
The Love of God Always Means the Love of God in Its Entirety – God’s Love to me, my Love to God and my Love to my fellowmen – in Its Fullness as an Indwelling Power, a Love of God to me that Leaps Back to Him in Love and Overflows to my fellowmen in Love.
Yes! We can Love all the day.
Live By Christ
But if I have Learned to Live By Christ as my Life, then I have Discovered the Secret of Victory, and Praise God, in the Inward Sense also, there is Therefore Now No Condemnation.
Faith
According to your faith be it unto you.
This is one of the Laws of the Kingdom.
Believe that ye Receive, and ye Shall Have.
The Mind of The Spirit
The Mind of the Spirit is Life and Peace.
It is NOT a question of feeling or comparison, but of an Inquiry Godward! Does the Spirit Witness Life? Does He Assure me of the Father’s Good Pleasure in this step?
This is the only safe test.
