1st John 5
All right. If you have your Bibles, please turn to 1st John chapter 5. I want to talk to you tonight about "The Law of Answered Prayer."
I heard about a woman and her husband. They were not getting along. And they had not been getting along for quite a while. And they just constantly fought and fought and fought and fought. And everything was just an argument.

I can't believe this. I thought you had to pray for years and years and years and you get nothing." But that's not the Christian life. And that's not the way God has set it up. See, answered prayer is not supposed to be something out of the ordinary. It's supposed to be th ...
