Therefore, anyone who wants so much to be heard by God in prayer, especially when times are hard, cannot escape becoming a member of Christ's body, thus:
"For as we have many members in one body, but all the members to not have the same function, so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another." (Rom. 12:4-5 Ibid)
One ought to followthe Savior Jesus Christ's command to enter by Him and be in fold or flock, which is the Church of Christ (John 10:9, Revised English Bible; Acts 20:28, Lamsa Tranlation).
Membership in the true Church of Christ therefore, is necessary for one to benefit from God's goodness. When one becomes a member of God's nation is coming God's people by becoming a member of the Church of Christ, he is assured of receiving that which he asks God, even in this life.
Hard times will continue to beset mankind, which is not at all surprising as this was forewarned by the Lord Jesus Christ. But God's faithful servants are never daunted nor are they perplexed. Their courage stems from the truth that above everything else, being in Christ or members of the Church of Christ means not having anymore condemnation when Judgment Day comes, thus:
"There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus." (Rom. 8:1, NKJV)
