I just heard recently that God is not under any binding obligation to answer your prayer just because you are born again even when it is genuine and not aimed at attacking a fellow being.

This is hard to swallow and one hardly hears such msgs in our churches, or mosques and this is why people get frustrated after a prolonged prayer without answers, and resort to some other means. I feel we ought to know that it's not all prayers that can be answered, we shl just pray for God's will for us.

Do you think differently?

Yeah definitely. It's God's will that should be done not ours. I believe if it's outside His will for us, He won't answer. He is not under obligation to any man except His own word.

If are born again, God will always answer your prayers according to Hi

I can also answer your prayers according to my whim/will! If you ask me in prayer for something I want to do, I'll do it. If you ask me for something I don't want to do or can't do, I'll claim that it's agaisnt my will.

It doesn't take a God to provide unreliable answers to prayer. Any human being can do that!

Hey seun,
you have to be careful with ur words when u address issues that border generally on GOD.

Pls take no offence, but as the admin. i dont expect u to do the kind of landing you are doing, moreso on a public forum like this. I understand the freedom of speech thing! but an issue as sensitive as God's Existence is enough to precipitate a war -GOD forbid.

Just a friendly advice!

I'm surprised u r beggin him not to take offence!!! You have broken no site rule in advising him and if he deems it fit to block u for that then i don't think it's worth being on this site

Time will tell who is right or wrong but let's hope it is not too late,

This is a great topic,
itz actually true, sometimes God may decide not to answer our prayers coz they may have effects on us at a latter time.
God sees ahead, he sees beyond us and knows if there is danger coming.
that is one of the reasons why God will not answer some of our prayers.
besides we shouldn't expect God to answer all.

But why would a spirit filled born-again Christian not know what to ask for and mistakenly ask amiss?

I think there is more to this situation than can be off handedly explained away. So peeps, why are some prayers answered and some are not?
