God's promise in Jesus Christ is hinged on continuous submission and obedience to the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ - John 14 vs 20 - 25 & John 15 vs 9 -11 .

So, if your prayers are still not being answered, it probably means your life is not lived in submission to the almost 100 commandments given by Jesus Christ to His disciples - the New Covenant Law and Gospel.

Wow, so brother what are the New Covenant Law and Gospel ?

Ur prayers are only answered because u tell urself they have been answered.

Ever heard of confirmation bias? Thats what Christianity thrives on. Its no magic or miracle... U just use faith and tell urself what u want to believe and confirm them by normal happenings around u...


At the end, u are actualy praying to urself... U are the God u rever so much. Ever wonder why it hurts when God is insulted? Its simply ur alter ego that its being hurt... The God u create in ur mind is the superman in u that u wiah to be.

The teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ make up God's New Covenant and Law, what is called the Gospel of the Kingdom of God and the details of the Law are found written in the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John alone in your Bible.

There are about 100 in total and some of the commandments regarding prayer for example are listed in the linked post https://www.nairaland.com/7110397/gospel-minddump#112524340

From over 2000 years ago, God made it abundantly clear that all prayers offered to Him are accepted and worthy of His response. And He made it known that His love for men in Jesus Christ is hinged on obedience of His Law - John 15 vs 9 - 11 & John 13 vs 1 -, meaning it is not enough to simply say prayers.

Understand that the Law is all-or-nothing meaning you can't pick and choose what you will obey and what you will give less attention to. You must obey all of the Law and must do so on a continuous basis as that is what it means to live a life of faith.

Your prayer is answered by two ways. First if you ask according to the will of God. And secondly if you pray and believe in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ

Those are fables spewed at you by gods of men and with no foundation in Scripture.

You see, Scripture states that God does not answer the prayers of the unrighteous; the pleas and requests and every petition, praise, offering, work, plea, sacrifice, etc., of the unrighteous are tainted by their sins(disobedience/unholiness) and are hence an abomination to God. So, what is definite is that even your many pleas for the forgiveness of sins are not answered by God given that God made no special exemptions for that kind of plea. No amount of praying can cause God to change His mind regarding that which concerns the unrighteous by the way. So if you are thinking of prescribing more prayers that only means you don't understand or know God at all.

God, however, openly bragged about how He only answers the prayers of the righteous; He delights in granting them the desires of their heart meaning that they are those he loves. For this very reason, Jesus Christ urged His followers to seek first the Kingdom of God and God's Righteousness so that all things— the blessings and rewards of the Kingdom of God(holiness), answers to prayers included—shall be added on to them. As Jesus Christ explained in His Gospel, the only way to become Holy, and then also Righteous, is by way of continuous submission and obedience to the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ, god's Truth and Law in the Kingdom of god - John 8 vs 31 - 36 & John 14 vs 15 - 23. Jesus Christ is the only way. Obedience to the Truth of God is the only path to righteousness. No amount of praying and other religious rituals can accomplish that.

God deals indirectly with the unrighteous, the same way He deals with the unbelievers including the wicked and the ungrateful and that is by pouring out His mercy and kindness on them daily. So every time as an unrighteous you feel that God has answered your prayer know that at that same moment, or moments before that, God also provided the same mercy or similar to someone else across the world — or maybe just across from you— who does not even believe in God, nor asked God for anything. So, if answers from God are what you seek, then do what Jesus Christ said you should, which is to seek first the Kingdom of God(holiness), and then God's righteousness, so that all these things —the blessings and rewards of the Kingdom of God(including answers to prayers) can be added to you.
