How God Answers Prayers by cloudgoddess(f): 9:38pm On Dec 17, 2015
-guy gets shot at but the shot misses, god protected him
-guy gets shot but misses all vital organs, its a miracle. God saved him.
-guy gets shot and lasting damage to his body, god saves him, cause god has more plans for his life. God is good.
-guy gets shot and killed. Guy is in better place, heaven.

The way you christians work out things in your mind theres no way for your make believe god to fail you!!

You could pray to anything and it would answer prayer the same way.

Prayer is also like buying a lottery ticket. You keep asking god to answer your different prayers. Hoping that one day he will answer one. Then after asking your supposed god thousands of prayers and finally, something happens in your life thats close to what you asked for and you call it a miracle from god. Its no miracle, it is just blind chance cause you asked for so many things. Heard so many times christians say: “god either answers yes, no, or wait.” Thats an answer for almost any request. In reality god answers in silence. Why? Cause he doesn’t exist!! Buy a lottery ticket you have way more of a chance something will happen because of the act."

Saw this comment on youtube and I don't think I've read anything more accurate. Thoughts?

https://www.nairaland.com/2318252/reason-why-prayer-not-being

There has been times in my life when
I have been up and down, times when
prayer seems to come easy, and times
when prayer doesn't come easy at all.
There is something, I think, in man that
makes it hard to pray, but what is it? Why should anyone have difficulty in praying?
Is it because we think that God will not
hear us? That's a possibility. I've heard
people speak about getting on their
knees to pray and having the feeling that their prayers were bouncing off the
ceiling, going no higher than the ceiling,
that nobody was hearing it but them.
They don't think God is actually hearing
what they are saying.
They may feel that way because they
feel unworthy, or because they feel God
is down on them. They may feel that God has somehow shut them up and won't listen to them.
Is it because we don't think it will change anything? And if that's the case, is it because we just don't believe? Or that we believe that God is going to do what He's going to do regardless of what we ask? “What's the point in praying about this? I'm going to pray and I'm going to ask God to do this, but God already knows what's best, and He's going to do what's best, and I'm going to say 'Thy will be done,' and what's the
point in asking because His will is going
to be done anyway?” Maybe we don't
pray a lot because we think it isn't going
to change anything. God will just do what he's going to do whether we ask Him to do it or not.
SOLUTION;
Luke 11:1-2, "And it came to pass,
that, as he was praying in a
certain place, when he ceased,
one of his disciples said unto
him, Lord, teach us to pray, as
John also taught his disciples.
And he said unto them, When ye
pray, say…"
Now, most people can, without reading
their bible, can site what Jesus said
about how you are to pray. So, Jesus
gives what is called “the Lord's Prayer,”
but he continues, he's NOT THROUGH
TEACHING THEM HOW TO PRAY! The
“Lord's Prayer” is not all he said in
response to the question, “Lord, teach us to pray.”the Lord prayer was just like an idea on what to say when praying , the next verse gives us the right attitude continue;
Luke 11:5-7, "And he said unto them,
Which of you shall have a friend, and
shall go unto him at midnight, and say
unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves;
For a friend of mine in his journey is
come to me, and I have nothing to set
before him? And he from within shall
answer and say, Trouble me not: the
door is now shut, and my children are
with me in bed; I cannot rise and give
thee."
"Jesus' listeners would have considered
the response of the man who was in bed absolutely unconscionable"
Luke 11:8, "I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet BECAUSE OF HIS
IMPORTUNITY he will rise and give him
as many as he needeth."
What's going on here? Well the man's
not going to go away! He's going to
stay down there; he's going to keep
on knocking on the door. He's going to
say, “get up and get me some bread!
I'm not going to let you sleep until you
get up and come out here and give me
three loaves of bread.
The word for “importunity” in the Greek
literally means “SHAMLESNESS.” Without shame. I think that's absolutely
fascinating, because a modest man
would say, “Gee. I asked and he didn't
give me any bread. Well, I guess I better
go away now because I must be causing
him a lot of inconvenience.” No, he is
shameless!
THERE ARE THREE EXAMPLES OF
IMPORTUNITY;
EXAMPLE ONE
Luke 18:1-8, "And he spake a parable
unto them to this end, that men ought
always to pray, and not to faint; Saying,
There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man: And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary. And he would not for
a while: but afterward he said within
himself, Though I fear not God, nor
regard man; YET BECAUSE THIS WIDOW
TROUBLETH ME,I WILL AVENGE HER , LEST BY HER CONTINUE COMING SHE WEARY ME. And the Lord said,
Hear what the unjust judge saith. And
shall not God avenge his own elect,
which cry day and night unto him,
though he bear long with them? I tell you that he will avenge them speedily."
Here is a judge that was fearless, and
would not avenge this widow's
adversary. But she kept asking him
OVER and OVER and the judge finally
gave in to her requests, lest she
weary him by her continual coming.
EXAMPLE TWO:
Luke 18:35-39, "And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a
certain blind man sat by the way side
begging: And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant. And
they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth
passeth by. And he cried, saying, Jesus,
thou Son of David, have mercy on me.
And they which went before REBUKE
HIM, that he should HOLD his peace…"
They rebuked him. They told him to
shut up and be quiet! To stay out of
the way.BUT
Luke 18:39, "...but he cried so much the
more, Thou Son of David, have mercy on
me." What happens to this man if he shuts up? He's not healed. Yet, there were people there who were trying to talk him out of it, telling him to hush.He
didn't hush, he kept yelling. He cried
out!
Luke 18:40-43, "And Jesus stood, and
commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him, Saying, What wilt thou that I
shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord,
that I may receive my sight. And Jesus
said unto him, Receive thy sight: THY
FAITH HATH SAVED THEE. And
immediately he received his sight, and
followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God."What's faith? Is it a feeling? Is it a mood? An emotion? Faith is a
persistence, a boldness. It was his
boldness and persistence that got this
man his eyesight. It's not a mood, it's
not a feeling. Think about it. Jesus
said his bold, persistent, aggressive
faith has saved him!
EXAMPLE THREE:
Matthew 15:22, "And, behold, a woman
of Canaan came out of the same coasts,
and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy
on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my
daughter is grievously vexed with a
devil."
This is a Gentile woman, and Jesus
did not answer her a word. Didn't say
a thing to her, just ignored her! Actually,
strange women weren't supposed to be
talking to strange men like this. Jesus'
manners may seem rude to you, but they were the norm for this time.
Matthew 15:23-26, "But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, SEND HER AWAY;FOR SHE CRIETH AFTER US. But he
answered and said, I am not sent
but unto the lost sheep of the house of
Israel. Then came she and worshipped
him, saying, Lord, HELP ME. But he
answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to
cast it to dogs."
First he ignores her, and then he
insults her! “This is not for you, you
dog! This is for the children. You Gentiles are not in that category of God's children.BUT SHE KEEP ON PRESSING ON:
Matthew 15:27, "And she said, Truth,
Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs
which fall from their masters' table."
This is similar to what happened to a
man named Jacob when he wrestled,
physically, with God, and who put
God in a hold and said, "...I will not
let thee go, except thou bless
me" (Genesis 32:24-30). He wrestled
all night long and said he would not let
him go until he blesses him! God even
put the hollow of Jacob's thigh out of
joint, and he still wouldn't let him go!
These people would stand up to God,
believe it or not. This woman continued
to persist in the argument. And what
happened?
Matthew 15:28, "Then Jesus answered
and said unto her, O woman, GREAT IS
THY FAITH : be it unto thee even as thou
wilt. And her daughter was made whole
from that very hour."
What's he talking about? He's talking
about her boldness, her persistence, her drive, her energy, her willingness
to hang in there and not give up on her
daughter's sake. Sometimes we can find
more faith for our children than we can
for ourselves. This woman certainly did.
Notice Jesus' response when he saw this
kind of faith, this kind of persistent
boldness. He said, “I'll give you anything
you want!” And her daughter was made
whole from that very hour. And Jesus
told her that her bold, persistent,
aggressive faith has saved her daughter.
Continue from the Lord prayer;
Luke 11:9-10, "And I say unto you, Ask,
and it shall be given you; seek, and ye
shall find; knock, and it shall be opened
unto you. For every one that asketh
receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth;
and to him that knocketh it shall be
opened."
One thing you can say for sure is that
a man who doesn't ask is not going to
get it, a man who isn't looking for it isn't
going to find it, and a man who doesn't
knock on the door will never get it open.
Luke 11:11-13, "If a son shall ask bread
of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? Or if he
shall ask an egg, will he offer him a
scorpion? If ye then, being evil, know
how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?"
You need to understand, the point that is being made here is not that God is a bad neighbor, the point is that if you expect to be heard of God you're going to have to knock and you're going to have to be persistent in what you do, and you are going to have to be shameless.
CONCLUSION;
Well, the scriptural doctrine of faith is an ACTIVE , persistent, bold approach to
God. We seem to think that faith is a
PASSIVE virtue; that it's a set of BELIEFS
or a way of THINKING , whereas in
scripture it's a way of acting!
That's where, possibly, the difference
may come in.

I don't know how to "logically" explain God, his existence or his way to anybody. I'm not very good at drawing analogy like the Poster has done with God and Lotto tickets (LOL). I only know one thing, a force greater than anything I can comprehend exists. I just know I feel at peace when I pray over an issue because something is in control(I'm not the extreme christian type but honestly I sometimes almost feel a physical force, i've been told its the holy spirit... I pray it is and not just my mind).
I lost someone dear to me a while ago. Before the demise, I prayed and fasted viciously for a positive turn around. One day while I was having one of my violent prayer session trying to invoke a by miracle by force, I started to weep and I fell asleep. When I woke up I felt like something was trying to comfort me and I felt strength renewed. I knew at that moment that my dear one would leave me soon yet I felt at peace, I had no choice but to relish the last days before the passing.
Moral of the story: You cannot command God to answer positively to your prayer if it is not his will, you just have to trust that in the end you will be fine. Nobody can give you any solid evidence of Gods existence until you submit yourself, BY YOURSELF.

@KyrieEleisom.
Thank you very much for this. What makes me so happy is that, God ignores this strange seeds all the way.
He reveals Himself to anyone who seeks Him.

@unionised. There's no need to ask her to leave our God alone. She's doing here part in scheme of things.

Do you remember when God was handing over Judgements after satan trapped man? The Lord God said to Satan, "I'll put enmity between thy seed and her seed". Gen 2: 15.

The seed of the woman is Christ, Who is the seed of Satan?
Again, in Matt 13: 25. While men slept, the enemy came and sowed tares,among the wheat...
who are the Tares? what are they there for? Why are called reprobates?
If we have the understanding, that Satan has his seeds amongst us, we will walk consciously. Their duty is to slow you down, if they can't stop you. To choke ur faith out of by sowing doubt in ur heart.
The Bible says, you shd mark them and avoid them.

And Yahweh will simply say, Nna Bros, I work in mysterious ways, don't you know the god you serve. You cannot comprehend my shiiit bitcch! So says the Lord.

I don't know how to "logically" explain God, his existence or his way to anybody. I'm not very good at drawing analogy like the Poster has done with God and Lotto tickets (LOL). I only know one thing, a force greater than anything I can comprehend exists. I just know I feel at peace when I pray over an issue because something is in control(I'm not the extreme christian type but honestly I sometimes almost feel a physical force, i've been told its the holy spirit... I pray it is and not just my mind).
I lost someone dear to me a while ago. Before the demise, I prayed and fasted viciously for a positive turn around. One day while I was having one of my violent prayer session trying to invoke a by miracle by force, I started to weep and I fell asleep. When I woke up I felt like something was trying to comfort me and I felt strength renewed. I knew at that moment that my dear one would leave me soon yet I felt at peace, I had no choice but to relish the last days before the passing.
Moral of the story: You cannot command God to answer positively to your prayer if it is not his will, you just have to trust that in the end you will be fine. Nobody can give you any solid evidence of Gods existence until you submit yourself, BY YOURSELF.

Exactly... "until you submit yourself by yourself"...

After all the prayers, carrying and slamming the devil. And all you could hear around you was your own voice. Then you finally realize that nothing was happening. You felt powerless and weak. Then crying took over and you slept like you overdosed on good puzzy.

Upon waking up, reality sets in... You realized that the inevitable must and will take place. Circle of life must take its course. Then you submit yourself by yourself to reality.

I've lost a loved one too. One only compounds unnecessary frustration by invoking a god that is no where to be found. At least you saw death knocking on the door of your loved one. That in it self gives room to manage or prepare for their passing.

Everyone reading this delicious write up on 4:19:2016 would not be here in a 116years, no matter how much you bind the devil.

"How god answers prayer:

-guy gets shot at but the shot misses, god protected him
-guy gets shot but misses all vital organs, its a miracle. God saved him.
-guy gets shot and lasting damage to his body, god saves him, cause god has more plans for his life. God is good.
-guy gets shot and killed. Guy is in better place, heaven.

The way you christians work out things in your mind theres no way for your make believe god to fail you!!

You could pray to anything and it would answer prayer the same way.

Prayer is also like buying a lottery ticket. You keep asking god to answer your different prayers. Hoping that one day he will answer one. Then after asking your supposed god thousands of prayers and finally, something happens in your life thats close to what you asked for and you call it a miracle from god. Its no miracle, it is just blind chance cause you asked for so many things. Heard so many times christians say: “god either answers yes, no, or wait.” Thats an answer for almost any request. In reality god answers in silence. Why? Cause he doesn’t exist!! Buy a lottery ticket you have way more of a chance something will happen because of the act."

Saw this comment on youtube and I don't think I've read anything more accurate. Thoughts?

It's a good idea to put '/s' after a sarcastic comment. It can be difficult to detect sarcasm in written text.

My tone in the comment was meant to indicate sarcasm but I guess some ppl didn't study English lit in school....

I don't think so, I saw it in the comment section of some youtube video. I don't recall it being one of his.

Oh okay, perhaps the person who wrote the comment was inspired by him? I personally haven't watched most of his videos, only one or two, so I wouldn't know either way. Sure, post the link!
