[quote author=pradoyeep post=126122016]You may have been in gatherings were so-called christians shout fire, Holy ghost fire, without any tangible results in their lives. Some may even result in looking for diabolical means if their prayers are not yielding results. Why are prayers Hindered. (1) Unconfessed sin: If a Christian does not confess his or her sins to God, and make peace with those he or she offended, it may cause hinderances to prayers. (2) Evil Covenants: As sincere and genuine as a Christian may be, if there are known or unknown evil covenants that are not broken, this may resist answers to prayers. Positive confession s Many Christians are hypocrites |

Prayers will not be answered if Tinubu administration does not favor your family. It’s so funny that most prayers in the world come from shithole Nigeria. |

Praying amiss |
Re: Why Prayers Of Many Christians Are Hindered by Angeloihe: 1:27pm On Oct 01, 2023 |
No prayer is hindered. It is either you are praying amiss or your prayers can be good but God answers prayer at His own time. In African traditional religion, delay in response from the gods to people's prayers means they have a spiritual problem or a bad person. That's what ur pastors are bringing to the church. They are practicing syncretism and calling it pentecostalism |
Re: Why Prayers Of Many Christians Are Hindered by judedwriter(m): 2:05pm On Oct 01, 2023 |
pradoyeep: The 3 major reasons why prayers are hindered: 1. Unconfessed sin. 2. Lack of faith. 3. Lack of sufficient faith through Fasting and praying. There is no power that can withstand prayer and fasting. |

okeysoninv:He lied! 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 really 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 who he loves. For this very reason, Jesus Christ urged His followers to seek first the Kingdom of God and God's Righteousness in order 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 one and only path to God and to His 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— atheists, witches, pagans, etc. inclusive — 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, in order that all these things —the blessings and rewards of the Kingdom of God(including answers to prayers) can be added to you. |

Angeloihe:There is no such thing as prayers that are not prayed at the right time. You need to understand the meaning of the word "amiss" in order to realize what James was instead trying to tell you in that verse that you pulled from his epistle. If you consult Webster's dictionary, you will find that the word means to be in an imperfect state, a state that is not in the right order aka unrighteous. amissWhat James was saying in that verse is that the reason you do not receive from God is that you are asking in an unrighteous state—a state that is not in accordance with God's mandate of righteousness. So, clearly, you cannot benefit anything from remaining in an unrighteous state as far as God is concerned. That is what God said, and James reiterated it in that verse there. |

world123:Praying amiss meanings praying while unholy and unrighteous! God does not answer the prayers of those who are not first Holy and Righteous. |

Tinubu prayers is answered...emi lokan is a prayer that buried those fake men of God in Nigeria. God emi lokan the God of Tinubu answer me. |
Re: Why Prayers Of Many Christians Are Hindered by Kobojunkiee: 2:35pm On Oct 01, 2023 |
ExtremeDot:That is a lie since what you are insinuating only applies to those who are unrighteous, those whose prayers God does not answer at all. |
Re: Why Prayers Of Many Christians Are Hindered by Kobojunkiee: 2:36pm On Oct 01, 2023 |
Lamasta:Exactly! Even the many Pharisees that make up your churches — from the pastors/gods of men to the seat warmers, all unrighteous— God does not answer their prayers as they dwell in that which is against HIm. |

studycenter:You folks and your silly concoctions which you mistake for teachings of God never cease to amaze. The reason most folks succeeded abroad has to do with the fact that the systems out there are built to favor those who work hard than those who don't work hard. Simple. That has nothing to do with God's answering of prayers nor does it change anything of what God said. 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.

Kobojunkiee:The number (1) has already answered all the Epistles you wrote there. The unconfessed sin. So what is your controversy ?Read 1 Corinthians 6; 9-11. Forgiveness comes through by confession, repentance and following God's commandments. 1 John 1:9 . |

WORK HARD, PRAY HARD, HAVE FAITH & SATISFACTORY RESULTS AWAITS YOU . ABOVE ALL START EVERY PRAYER BY CONFESSING YOUR SINS AND ABSTAIN FROM SIN AND EVERY FORM OF EVIL. GOD BLESS US AMEN ! |
Re: Why Prayers Of Many Christians Are Hindered by Kobojunkie: 4:19pm On Oct 01, 2023 |
world123:There is no such thing as not "praying according to the Will of God" since Jesus Christ Himself said, "ALL THINGS WHATSOEVER YOU ASK .... YOU SHALL RECEIVE". Also, Jesus Christ made clear that the Will of God refers to God's Law — His teachings and commandments as given by Jesus Christ — and the statement above is a part of God's Law. |
Re: Why Prayers Of Many Christians Are Hindered by Kobojunkie: 4:21pm On Oct 01, 2023 |
okeysoninv:Wrong! Unconfessed sin has nothing to do with Holiness and Righteousness. You can confess all your sins from morning till evening and still remain unrighteous till the day you die. |
