Every prayer gets an answer... It's either a YES, NO OR WAIT.
the issue is we all want yes and a fast one.
NO is often regarded as not answered but if u listen to ur spirit u get the reasons..
WAIT... this is where the whole problem of faith and patience lies... Only true committed SONS of God will understan this one.

Isaiah 1


15. *When you lift your hands in prayer, I will not look at you. No matter how much you pray, I will not listen, for your hands are covered with blood.
If you ask me...

hearing is different from listening

He might chose not to listen to your prayers if you are evil but that doesn't mean he didn't hear what you said. He heard everything

Is it not outright madness that so many prayers are being song every service day and none of such prayers rarely get to the desired destination, which is to the ears of the Almighty God.

Do you ever think that the Almighty God could be fooled like men keep fooling themselves. The scripture warned that if we ask anything according to his will he hear us, if we don't ask according to his decreed will he will not hear us. That means our prayers must follow the divine pattern. Ordained voice.


Folks keep asking or praying for things which is finished.




But the scripture instructed that if indeed you believed that God Almighty raised you together with Christ Jesus, then you should set your affections on things above not things below, earthly, men needs, why?? Because your body is dead because Christ lives in your body and the Lord Christ WHO is the Spirit is your life and when Christ who is our life shall appear we shall also reign with Christ Jesus in glory.



The scripture also warned that after all these things do people that do not know God Almighty seek, but for you who said you are following me, that you want to know me, seek my kingdom first and my rightness and all these things shall be added to your request.


Will they hear?


And so there is a followed pattern of prayers for believers. Not your every day jangling and babbling around. Many are praying but only very few voices are heard.


If you indeed wants your voice to be heard you need to study the scripture to grasp the perfect will of God Almighty and how you should pray right now. Stop wasting energy on gymnastics.

The scripture said physical exercise profit a little, but spiritual exercise profit now and in the life to come. What are you waiting for??
Teacher Njoku, I thought U would now teach us how to find the will of God and pray aright. U just said we should go and search the bible. U no get talk.

1. I am not certain what the exact message here really is. Anyways, what is God's decreed will as far as prayer is concerned? For the most part, it is as follows:


Ask, Seek, and Knock, in order to receive, find and have the door opened to you Matthew 7 vs 7
Pray continuously. I.e. don't stop asking, seeking, knocking until you have received, found, and had the door opened to you
Matthew 21 vs 22 & Luke 18 vs 1- 8
Avoid vain repetitions because God knows what you want even before you ask Him Matthew 6 vs 7 - 8
Always pray in secret and in hiding Matthew 6 vs 6
Pray the Lord's prayer-Matthew 6 vs 9- 13
Forgive everyone who has hurt or offended you before you pray so your father in Heaven will forgive you your sins- Matthew 11 vs 25 & Matthew 6 vs 12
Always approach God in Humility- Luke 18 vs 9 - 4
Believe that you have received what you ask for and it shall be done for you Matthew 21 vs 22 & Mark 11 vs 24
Ask the Father in the name of Jesus ChristJohn 15 vs 16
If you abide in Him and He, Jesus, abides in you, then He, Jesus Christ, will do whatever you ask in His name John 14 vs 13-14 & john 15 vs 7
Pray for your enemies - Matthew 5 vs 44 & Luke 6 vs 27- 28
Ask God for the Holy Spirit - Luke 11 vs 13 & Matthew 7 vs 11


However, praying according to His Will and Law, Jesus Christ, will not cause God to answer because God does not answer the prayer of sinners — He doesn't even answer their prayers of forgiveness either — meaning that so long as one remains a slave to sin, God is not going to answer one prayer. The prayers of the unrighteous are an abomination to God meaning that unless one first gets rid of one's sin debt, one is bound to continue praying in vain, even if unto death. undecided

So, how does one go about getting rid of one's sin(disobedience) debt in order to be set free from slavery to sin(disobedience)? How does one cease to be known as a sinner by God? The one and only way is through continuous submission/acceptance and obedience to the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ — God's Truth. It is by knowing the Truth that one is then set free from slavery to sin(disobedience) by the Truth and transformed into a Son of God — no longer a sinner. God answers the prayers of those His children of God. It is for them that all of the benefits/love of God in Jesus Christ is stored up. undecided

All we need is sufficient grace and mercy.
I pray our prayers be answered in the mighty name of Jesus
No amount of your sufficient grace and mercy will cause God to change His mind. God does not answer he prayers of the unrighteous aka sinners. So no matter how much you pray, He will never answer so long as you are a sinner. That also means He will not answer your prayers of forgiveness. undecided

1. God never said He answers all prayers though. Instead, He was blatant about the fact that He does not answer the prayers of sinners/the unrighteous. So where do you get this idea that God answers "No" to prayers? That is a lie! undecided

Instead, according to God's Word, He only entertains the prayers of the righteous and guarantees they will ALL be answered with an affirmative. undecided

1. the Key is not in what you ask for but in whether the person asking is righteous or unrighteous at the time of the asking. God stated that the prayers of the unrighteous/sinners are an abomination to Him — He does not hear them at all. So, the key to prayer is righteousness. One first needs to be in righteous standing with God in order to reasonably expect answers from God. And righteousness no be one day work... it is many many years of continuous submission and obedience to the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ, God's Law, and Constitution in the Kingdom of God. undecided

1. Find the Will of God? The WIll of God is God's Constitutional Law in the Kingdom of God — God's Special Nation of Priests - Exodus 19 vs 6 — and it is the same Gospel that Jesus Christ gave to you almost 2000 years ago— complete with about 100 teachings and commandments which you are meant to live by assuming you trust Him. That is what God's Will is. So you need to clearly ask yourself why you are still searching for God's Will almost 2000 years later. undecided

If you read the entire passage you would discover that What God in fact says is that their pleas are made filthy by their sins and are hence an abomination to His ear hence the reason He does not regard them. undecided

1. God made clear that He does not answer the prayers of the unrighteous; their prayers are made filthy with their sins and are hence an abomination to Him. So, if every prayer is answered, with what you claim — YES, NO, WAIT— does that mean God in fact lied when He said He does not answer the prayers of the unrighteous? undecided

2. By the way, God says He answers all of the prayers of the righteous — He says, "Yes", to them all — so, where does your "No" response come from? undecided

God does not hear or accept the prayers, pleas, praises, offerings, giving, works, sacrifices, etc., of the unrighteous as all they do is tainted with their sins(unholiness) and hence an abomination to God. undecided
