Before we start claiming that God is hearing our prayers and answering them, let us study the entire Bible and see whose prayers God answers and whose He does not.
Before we think because God died for us while we were sinners we think it’s ok to keep sinning and rebelling, let’s not forget that He died so that we might live for him, not for ourselves and our own pleasure.
The effectual fervent prayer of a RIGHTEOUS man avail much. Find that in the Bible.
Or find the scripture that says that if you keep sin (iniquity) inside your heart, God will NOT hear you.
I’ve had two extremely openly hateful (of God’s will) people claim that the heavenly God is answering them and hears them and cares about their requests.
God hears us based on what His word says. To the true seeker, He will give knowledge. He will always hear if you are asking Him to make you holy. He will always hear if you are asking Him to take away all desire to do evil. To those with the answers right in their hands, on their phones I plead. Read. That’s where God is. In those pages. He’s not in your self-filled human version of godliness where there are no consequences to sin.
God is in the Bible asking you, demanding of you, commanding you to live a life like His. Sacrificial, humble, pure, godly, holy.
Yes…HOLY.
Be ye holy, even as your Father which is in heaven is Holy. Can you find THAT one?
There is a call God has made. To not take His name in vain by claiming Christianity without Christ living within us. Check the commandments.
Read, please…Read! If we are not fully Christ’s, we are fully Satan’s. We can’t serve two mastered. My goodness, it’s all written plainly for us in both Testaments🥹Church attendance won’t save us, clean, pure, obedience hearts will. Hearts that love God supremely.
If you love God, I plead with you to never stop. If you love reading His word and acting upon it, you are blessed and He accepts you in the Beloved.
Blessed are they who hunger and thirst after RIGHTEOUSNESS..for they SHALL be filled.
Find that one too. Cling to His promises if you think you are too impure for Him. He died exactly for you who mourn over your state. He exchanges your torn garments for His perfect robe of righteousness. He loves you. He loves you. He loves you.
He wants you to hand over the controls. Let Him lead. He is a very good Shepherd. He will not lead you where He himself has not walked. Deprivation, false allegations, accusations, unbelief, abuse, perfection, humility, self denial, lowering Himself so God may be lifted up, the road to Calvary- that’s where Christ walked. But He was leading somewhere where none of these things will ever happen again. And He leads us there too.
Read. Read. Love. Study. Pray to be every good thing He wants you to be. If you love Him, keep His commandments. Find that one too.🙏🏾
