[ZNPaaneah]

In the book of acts there are two brothers who try to cast a demon out. The response is "Jesus I Know and Paul I know, but who are you?" That is a huge question, who are you? As a child of God you have a particular status to pray. You received that status when you were born again. Jesus referred to that when He said you wouldn't give your child a stone or a serpent, therefore our heavenly father is even more considerate than an earthly one.

But, if you are the king (Jesus) no one would dare ask "who are you". Likewise, if you are a faithful servant to the king (Paul) no one would dare ask who are you.

Therefore, adoption gives us a much more powerful status for prayer, just as Jesus said "if you abide in Him ask whatever you will and it will be done for you".
