God Listens to Our Prayers
Inspiring Hymn: Victory In Jesus
Eugene Bartlett was born Dec 1885
in Missouri & grew up in Arkansas.
He was educated as music teacher
at Hall-Moody Institute in Tennessee
& William Jewell College in Missouri.
In 1918, he established Hartford
Music Company and over his career,
Bartlett wrote more than 800 songs.
In 1939, Bartlett had a stroke
that left him partially paralyzed.
Although dealt with physical strains,
Bartlett looked towards the eternal
victory he knew was approaching.
During this difficult time, Bartlett
wrote the words Victory in Jesus,
which was the final song he wrote.
The hymn inspired by 1Jn 5, reminds
us of the hope of heaven; and in the
second stanza there are references
to the healing ministry of Christ.
Lord, we claim Victory In Jesus:
For whatever is born of God
overcomes the world. And this
is the victory that has overcome
the world – our faith. Who is
he who overcomes the world,
but he who believes that Jesus
is the Son of God (1 John 5:4-5)
This is the Confidence we have
in approaching God; that if we
ask anything according to His will,
He hears us. And if we Know that
He hears us – whatever we ask
– we Know that we have what
we asked of Him (1Jn 5:14-15).

Heavenly Father, we thank You
for Your Word of proclamation
that whoever is born of God
overcomes the world through
our faith in Christ Jesus. And so
We claim Mark 11:24: Whatever
we ask for in prayer, believe that
we’ve received it & it will be ours.
All Praise and Glory to the Lord
for the Victory in Jesus. Amen!
Father, it gives me Confidence
to know that if I ask according
to Your will, You will hear me
and I will have what I ask for.
So I come to You as Your beloved
child and ask You to help me
pray according to Your will. And
I know I will receive good things
from You because You love me.
In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.
I heard an old, old story,
How a Savior came from glory,
How He gave His life on Calvary
To save a wretch like me;
I heard about His groaning,
Then I repented of my sins;
And won the victory…
O victory in Jesus,
My Savior forever.
He sought me and bought me
With His redeeming blood;
He loved me ere I knew Him,
And all my love is due Him,
He plunged me to victory,
Beneath the cleansing flood. Amen.
