1. Entire dependence upon the merits and mediation of the Lord Jesus
Christ as the only ground of any claim of blessing. "Whatsoever ye shall ask in
My name, that will I do" (John 14:13,14).
2. Separation from all known sin. "If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord
will not hear me" (Psalm 66:18).
3. Faith in God's Word of promise as confirmed by His oath: "He that
cometh to God must believe that He is...a rewarder of them that diligently seek
Him" (Hebrews 11:6).
4. Asking in accordance with His will. Our motives must be godly. "Ye ask
and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts"
(James 4:3).
5. Importunity in supplication. There must be waiting on God and waiting
for God, as the husbandman has long patience God and waiting for God, as the
husbandman has long patience to wait for the harvest. "Shall not God avenge
His own elect, which cry day and night unto Him?" (Luke 18:7).
