naijaboy756: May God forgive you. Brother, be careful that the devil will not use you against God's people. Like Judas to Jesus Too many uncultured people generation of vipers on Nairaland who have nothing to offer than noise and criticism. Will you see any of your family members depressed and you know what depression can lead to death, knowing a sincere remedy and not give to him/her? Hypocrites! |

sighting: My heart goes out to you @OP. I know very well how frustrating it can be to want God to show up only to keep hearing "Trust your Father",then "Obey Him", "Wait". While you wait on Him, may I suggest you please revisit His covenant again(i.e. every word cometh out of the mouth of God - Jesus Christ). I recommend you begin with the book of Matthew, beginning from Chapter 5 through to at least chapter Chapter 16. Read to learn what truths are in there that could help you figure out the puzzle that is your situation right now. God will open your eyes to His truth as You do so. Here is a summary of the commandments of the new covenant that is Jesus Christ. https://www.swapmeetdave.com/Bible/Commands/Commands-list.pdf |

sighting: Kobojunkie: Friend, it is unfortunate that prayer is taught today in Christendom to be some magical, instant, genie-in-the-bottle, formula because this is not what the Lord taught. First, understand before you begin praying that there are spiritual laws in place which like natural laws(e.g. gravity) can never be broken. Also understand that no matter your sin, if you have acknowledged and repented, you are forgiven freely in Christ(Eph1:7). In fact, God also gives you power through His cross to overcome any struggles you have with sin. But the big task in prayer is your request getting to you through all spiritual protocol after its released by God to you. As long as what you ask is in line with God's will, you should know that it's not up to God to release your answer because He already has(Eph1:3) but only in the spirit(heavens) which is His jurisdiction(Ps115:16). The onus is then on men whose jurisdiction is the earth(Ps115:16) to persevere through all delays of Satanic forces(Eph6:12) to resist the manifestation of what God has provided in the spirit hence(Eph6:18, Lk18:1-8, Mt6:10) Note that the hand of God can never be seen on earth except men persevere through all the resistances of Satanic forces like Daniel did(Dan10:12-14) because the earth has been given to men. Had Daniel not persevered, the prince of Persia would have hindered the manifestation of his prayer God already heard from the first day he prayed(v12). And how do we know when we can stop praying and our victory has come? Either when we see the answer manifest or when we no longer have an iota of doubt in our hearts about the matter(Mk11:23, note shalt not doubt in his heart. Also, Jam1:6), whichever comes first. As long as there is still any little doubt in your heart, it means Satanic forces are still resisting your answer, so keep on praying until there is no single doubt again. This takes a lot of patience and diligence in prayer, so buckle down, if you're really serious for your answer. You just have to keep at it until the answer comes. PS: Beware of anyone trying to direct you to any man or woman or church so you don't complicate your challenges. Always take everything to God Himself who died for you so you may freely access Him. 2 Likes |

Greetings in Jesus name. @bro finallydead. Are you saying even in this dispensation of Grace, answers to prayers can still be withheld in the spiritual realm? Does grace not make it easily accessible? Thank you. |

sighting: 1. Are you praying in faith? Praying without faith will not pass the ceiling of your roof. To pray with faith means to spend time studying the Bible before praying. Do you spend time in God's Word before praying? 2. Do you praise God often? God values praise more than prayer. Sometimes we cannot receive answers unless we praise God. 1 Like 1 Share |

Eulalia: naijaboy756: A good question you've asked there and one many do. The reason for this question arising is because the teaching of the economy of grace in many christian circles is usually at the most incomplete/imbalanced. Remember, Paul is who most people would call the chief proponent of grace. Yet it was Paul who taught that we are in a spiritual warfare(Eph6:12) and prayers are our way out(v18). Also, Paul was hindered by Satan(1Th2:18). Paul also had open doors from God but great opposition from Satan(1Cor16:9). The point is the economy of grace makes all God's provisions available and accessible to us(i.e. reserved in the spirit realm) but it also empowers us with authority to overcome all Satanic resistance to bring it into manifestation IF we can persevere in prayers against all of it. According to Paul, faith(grace) is a fight(1Tim6:12, 2Tim4:7, 1Cor9:26, Eph6:12...). But we are not fighting to make God answer us because He has already provided all in Christ in the spiritual realm(2Cor1:20, Eph1:3) by grace. We are fighting to make what grace already provided in the spirit realm manifest in the physical realm(Mat6:10) because earth is our jurisdiction(Ps115:16). If you can understand this principle, Eulalia, NO single provision of God will ever elude you. God bless you. |

sighting:it depend on what you are asking. Hope you are not asking for castles in the air? Because, praying effectively requires that one should be realistic in his request, not asking for mansions but meanwhile, he is not earning money. And also, an effective prayer requires that the person should work for what he is requesting and not sleeping waiting for God to do miracle. James 2:18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. |

Re: How Can One Effectively Pray To Receive Answers by Kobojunkie: 1:17pm On May 19, 2020 |
Eulalia:Most of those principles are conjured up in the minds of men, not God. That story for instance about the prince of persia is based on the twisting of words in scripture to fit the spiritual narrative of your men of god. The prince of persia(daniel 10) was simply the son of cyrus the great(Daniel 10 vs 1), who happened to be the King of Persia at the time of Daniel(daniel 10) . The "prince of Persia " was at the time, the commander of the Persian army. He was no spiritual demon/ devil that many of your pastors like to speak so much about. |
Re: How Can One Effectively Pray To Receive Answers by Nobody: 1:28pm On May 19, 2020 |
Kobojunkie: It is very clear in Daniel 10 that the prince of Persia withstood the angel. So if he was a mortal being like you claimed, how come he encountered an angel on the way?. As far as I'm concerned, there's no twist here. It is what is it. Take the word of god as it is written and stop trying to paint your own picture that does not fit into the passage. |
Re: How Can One Effectively Pray To Receive Answers by Kobojunkie: 1:42pm On May 19, 2020 |
Eulalia:Daniel was having a vision. What is ever "clear" about a vision? To take the word of God as it is written, you have to in fact read it to know what it says from what you hear pastors and preachers suggest it says. |

Re: How Can One Effectively Pray To Receive Answers by Nobody: 4:55pm On May 19, 2020 |
Kobojunkie: Are you always like this? . Please let's not argue the word of God. I'm here to learn and not to be further thrown into confusion. Thank you. Sir. |
Re: How Can One Effectively Pray To Receive Answers by Kobojunkie: 5:08pm On May 19, 2020 |
Eulalia:I am not arguing. I am trying to get you to seek truth of what is written in the book of Daniel. That is what really matters in the end. Those who believe in God ought to seek TRUTH above all else. No where in that book was the Prince of Persia constructed as a demon or villain; only in the minds of pastors and preachers did that whole idea come from. Cyrus the Great, the Father to the then Prince of Persia, was a man that God is said to have chosen for His work(Isaiah 45).
Daniel's vision story has been played on 100,000's of pulpits around the world for so long as a story of how the devil is able to keep God from answering the prayers of His own, as if this devil has power enough to stop God(All-Powerful) from doing what He wants to do when He wants to do it. |
