GOD understands all we are going through. The joy in the good times, the struggle in the trying times, the grief in the mourning times, the laugh in the celebrations, the blue in the sad times. GOD is Yea and Amen.
Mark 11:24 “Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them”. KJV Bible
Still, there are times when GOD says no for different reasons:
Deuteronomy 3:26 “ “But because of you people the Lord was angry with me and would not listen. Instead, he said, ‘That’s enough! Don’t mention this again!” GNT Bible
2 Corinthians 8-9 “Three times I prayed to the Lord about this and asked him to take it away. But His answer was: “My grace is all you need, for my power is greatest when you are weak.” I am most happy, then, to be proud of my weaknesses, in order to feel the protection of Christ’s power over me”. GNT Bible
Does that mean GOD can’t answer all prayers? No, it just emphasizes that He is a GOD of principles and order. The most important for us as His children is to ask according to His will.
James 4:3 “When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures”. NIV Bible
1 John 5: 14-15 “And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us; And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him”. KJV Bible
This is why it is extremely important that we let the Spirit of Truth guide and lead us in our quest to pray.
Prayer is a crucial fundamental component of every christian life.
Romans 8: 26-27 “In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. And He who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God”. NIV Bible
I admonish us friends not to pray alone when we already have help. May be you have been asking amiss, maybe not, obeying instructions giving during prayer is very important. Once the Holy Spirit told me not to be too quick to leave after prayer.
Communication is not complete without feedback.
Pray and listen for what to do. Or it could be the flooding of peace, relieve and joy over your soul indicating answered prayers.
GOD does hear every prayer but wouldn’t it best to seek from the LORD by the LORD?
How could He refuse the prayer offered by Himself?
If you have not received Christ into your heart, you hold the key to Him coming in. Just welcome Him to come and abide in you, He will come in as the Trinity. We gladly welcome you into the family of our Great King. A family filled with and of signs and wonders, birthed by GOD Himself.
