1. The New Birth The MIND is illuminated (conversion) (change)
The HEART is motivated (conviction) (confidence)
The WILL is captivated (commitment) (charge)

2. Prayer
Four (4) elements must remain a focused demonstration when one expects answers from God:
Real love for God: a) believe God, b) faith in God, c) trust, d) obey God
Right attitude towards others: to give others love the love of
Christ
Repent of sins: a change of mind that leads to lifestyle change
4. Ready to receive God’s answer: surrender to God’s will

3. GOD’S ANSWERS TO PRAYER
If the request is wrong, God says, "No."
If the timing is wrong, God says, "Slow."
If you are wrong, God says, "Grow."
But if the request is right, the timing is right and you are right, God says, "Go!"
