This is a question I have been asking myself for a very long time and yet I have failed to really find an answer to it. so I ask you who really knows this God and who reads his book, DOES GOD REALLY ANSWER PRAYERS? if Yes, How Does one pray to him for him to really answer. Countless Times have I prayed and it just seems they fall on deaf ears.

I want to know the secret if there's any
If you keep following what they teach in chuches you will keep failing.
The truth is, God has answered all our prays in advance.
He has provided all that we needed to enjoy this life. The air we breath, the rainfall, the sunlight, the trees and animals,Everything !!!
As if that is not enough he let go his only begotten son so that we will continue to live eternally when death threatened the existence of mankind on earth.
So what else do we want?
I think our prayer points has always been the problem.
We are so greedy, we want God to do everything for us.
We want him to give us money, car, house, good life ,kill our enemies, die by fire, by thunder etc without working for them.
That kinda prayer points will surely fail us.
If you want your enemy to die why waiting for God?
why not identify the enemy and go stab him to death?
If you want money why not learn how to make money and work for it.
I think a lot of christians who think God has not answered their prayer are the ones who failled to go to school or complete their education.
When they see one rich business man in church giving testimony of how God fought his battle, the man will never mentioned in the testimony that at a point he went to school or learn business.
So he gives you the impression that because he was committed to church and prayer that's how he is rich.

God, Subconscious, Universal Mind all refer to the super powerful part of us that is neither negative or positive, good or evil, but all depends on how our conscious mind interacts with it.

This is in line with the first law of thermodynamics which says, energy (evil/good) can neither be created nor destroyed but transformed from one form to another, based on one's perspective.

It is in line with this law that the God of Moses transformed to the God of Jesus, from the God of Vengeance to the God of Love based on "one" man's conscious interactions with It.

Your "prayer" is just a means to interact with this Mind and transform reality as you perceive it.

In my opinion, why our prayers (energy) fail to be answered (transformed to finance/material things) is because of our perspective, which controls our interactions.

But the bible says.
If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. And. .

Indeed, there is no one on earth who is righteous, no one who does what is right and never sins.

Re: Does God Really Answer Prayers? by Coldfeets: 8:26am On Aug 20, 2017
No Sir.

God does not exist.

Prayers are mere wishes.

Not all your wishes come to pass.

Those that come to pass, you can attribute them to being answered by God.

Those that don't come to pass, you can attribute them to God waiting for the right time.

You can now see how religion makes you a useless gambler, huh?

This question is just one of the reasons you dont get answers.

You have doubt. Before the doubt, he had prayed with faith, but doubtness crept into his mind when after several prayers, he had no answer...the bible says long suffering and expectations bring about weariness and doubt.

Remember it is written in the bible; he blesses whoever he wishes to bless like wise curse also. And his ways are no mans way
Re: Does God Really Answer Prayers? by jmichlins(m): 8:37am On Aug 20, 2017
I haven't seen a perfect scam as religion. You pray and get results, God takes credit but when it doesn't, then you don't have faith or it's not yet time. God has full denial in case of anything. How about him given us all same equal opportunity and not waiting for us to pray. My dad doesn't wait for me to ask for anything he can give me. A perfect God shouldn't wait for my prayers or tithe or offering.

I have prayed for a for this job which I have already completed every requirements but till now,nothing is showing up and is trying to ruin my relationship... if God will know that this job is something I have hoped for,why can't he do the needful by allowing these people to call on us for this job...How do you think I will feel seeing another man getting married to the only woman I have desired for in this life..

It's a tricky one.
Cos if all prayers were to be answered, judging by the comedy movie Bruce Almighty, we would probably self destruct.
But yes God does answer prayers maybe not just in the way you've been praying.

Christians say pray with faith in the name of Jesus.
Muslims say fast and pray in submission to Allah
Traditionalists say pray in incantation and rituals to any of several deities
Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, etc all have their various methods of prayer.

But you know what they all have in common, their prayers are answered otherwise clearly they would all be extinct without any more followership.

Why?
Prayer is not unique or exclusive to any religion. It operates on natural laws just like sowing and reaping. It is simply the The law of Attraction.
The power of the mind to attract what you constantly dwell upon. A positive mental attitude attracts positive events while a negative mental attitude does the opposite.

Unfortunately most prayers don't get answered because after saying your prayer, you cancel it out with worries and fears that it won't be answered. Hence faith is the sole ingredient for answered prayer.
Pray, believing defiantly that it will come to pass.

what's the difference between him and one arrogant leader. How can you people present God in different spheres. He all loving and caring God with a stroke for justice yet as one arrogant leader who answers to no one and bless unequally.

Don't waver in your faith when you pray, even when it looks like it's not going to happen keep believing that God has already done it, but if after applying the right faith and still it didn't work then know that it's not the appointed time yet for it to happen

No!

It's a mental thingy!


If your pray to a bottle, you will always attribute your positivity to it and doubt potency during chaos.

What will be will always be.

So your only definition of success is having plenty cash in one's bank account? If yes, then I converse with you no more.

Reading your comment and your signature, I never expected less. The idea of 'what will be, will be' is nature-oriented.... Prayer is a spiritual stuff. Stop misleading feeble minds!

IF THE PRAYER OF A SINNER IS AN ABOMINATION, THEN ALL OUR PRAYERS ARE ABOMINATIONS BECAUSE WE ARE ALL SINNERS , LET'S STOP DECEIVING OURSELVES. GOD ONLY ANSWER OUR PRAYERS OUT OF HIS KINDNESS AND MERCY BECAUSE HE IS GOD .
Divay22:
Yes he does
How will he answer,when you have doubt in your mind?
If you want him to answer, lay your complains to him and forget it totally, let it never be an issue to you...
He might not answer now,it mighty be delayed But a thousand years is just like a day in his eyes...
And check your life, The prayer of a sinner is an abomination to him.

Sometimes i just channel God's delay (to me) as a blessing, because i know he is always on time kiss kiss
Re: Does God Really Answer Prayers? by KENFERDYOORI(m): 9:44am On Aug 20, 2017
God answers prayers: sometimes, at the immediate and sometimes, he says 'wait for a while.' All we need is patience.
Meanwhile, let me say my morning prayer....
