"The Prayer Life of he Lord Jesus Christ" (Part 1/3)

Send us Fan MailIf you’ve ever wondered why your prayers sometimes feel unanswered, this conversation turns the spotlight on a different question: has the Father ever said “no” to the Son. We take a close look at the prayer life of Jesus Christ and ask whether his prayers are infallible, effectual, and always answered exactly as he petitions. That question is not abstract theology here it’s tied directly to comfort, assurance, and what it means to be kept by God.We walk through James 4:3 and the painful honesty of human prayer: we can ask “amiss,” with motives mixed by pride, fear, or self-focus. Then we contrast that with Christ, whose prayers are presented as wholly others-focused and aimed at the beneficiaries of grace. From there, the discussion presses into the logic of salvation security: if a true believer could lose salvation, what would that imply about Christ’s ongoing intercession at the right hand of the Father?A turning point comes in John 11:41–42, where Jesus says, “I knew that you hear me always.” We explore what “hearing” means in context, why Jesus says it out loud for others to believe, and how that shapes confidence in Christ’s present ministry. Finally, we step into John 17, often called the high priestly prayer, and ask a direct question many people avoid: who does Jesus pray for, and to what end? Along the way, we address the claims of universal salvation and why Scripture’s warnings about judgment, hell, and the lake of fire cannot be brushed aside.If you want a clearer, steadier ground for assurance than your own wavering feelings, hit play, then subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway or question.Support the showBE PROVOKED AND BE PERSUADED!
