Why aren't my prayers answered? Part 6

Devo Why aren’t my prayers answered Part 6

James 4:4-5 New International Version (NIV)
4 You adulterous people, don’t you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God? Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God. 5 Or do you think Scripture says without reason that he jealously longs for the spirit he has caused to dwell in us?
Our God is a jealous God.  He wants all of you. Friendship with the world is to takes on the world’s values, attitudes, ways, system, pleasures, and so much more.  Do not be unequally yoked, What does light have to do with darkness? Can darkness stand before the light? It perishes in its presence. To love the world and the things in it is to hate God.   Don’t be involved in the things or pleasures of this world. These things get between us and God. They make us an enemy of God and he will not hear our cries.

Devo Why aren’t my prayers answered Part 5
Matthew 6:24 New International Version (NIV)
24 “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be
devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
You must serve God not the other way around.  When we build idols like a golden calf they are built to serve us.  We were made to serve the God of heaven. Israel was enslaved for 400 years to that golden calf and yet when set free they were ready to return right back to it.  Amazing! So sad. Money will enslave you if you worship it. God will empower you to rule if you submit to Him. Who do you love? That is who you will serve. You can be a son or a slave.  A son enjoys and inherits his father’s house, but a slave just works there.

Devo Why aren’t my prayers answered Part 4
Matthew 6:9-13 New International Version (NIV)
9 “This, then, is how you should pray:
“‘Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
10 your kingdom come,
your will be done,
    on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us today our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts,
    as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation,
    but deliver us from the evil one.

I am not going over the Lord’s prayer in detail but will point out some important points.  Always pray God’s will over your own. He will give you more than you could ask or think. He knows how to give you good gifts.  We should always pray His kingdom not our come. Just think about that. Too many people and pastors too are praying for their little kingdom.  Don’t be greedy, pray for the needs of that day. Learn to walk by faith. Don’t let the things of this world turn your eyes off Jesus. Forgiveness is key.  God forgives us, but we must do likewise or He will turn a deaf ear to you.  Ask Him to keep you from temptation in all areas.  Ask that you are not overcome by your own evil desires.

Devo Why aren’t my prayers answered Part 3
Matthew 6:5-8 New International Version (NIV)

5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

When you pray talk to God, not bringing glory to yourself by praying for others to hear you.  Our relationship with Jesus is personal and we should pray in private with our petitions. Of course there is a time for corporate prayer, but what good is it without private prayer.  Prayer is about relationship. God heard Moses because he knew him. God knows what you need before you ask. So many or flowery words don’t impress God. Talk to Him like a friend.

Devo Why aren’t my prayers answered Part 2
Hebrews 5:7 Amplified Bible (AMP)
7 In the days of His earthly life, Jesus offered up both [specific] petitions and [urgent] supplications [for that which He needed] with fervent crying and tears to the One who was [always] able to save Him from death, and He was heard because of His reverent submission toward God [His sinlessness and His unfailing determination to do the Father’s will].
I used the AMP version because it does such a good job in being out the content of this verse.  Why did God hear and answer Jesus’ prayers? He was specific. He was fervent. He didn’t just pray once and forget about it, but like the widow and the unjust judge He knew God’s will and would not let go until he got the answer.  He submitted to God’s will in every area of His life in all His prayers He put God’s will above His own. He obeyed God and walked a sinless life. You may say ‘pastor I can’t live a sinless life;? 2 Corinthians 5:21 God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

Devo Why aren’t my prayers answered Part 1
James 4:3 King James Version (KJV)
3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.
This is a question that is asked of me often.   I will touch on some different reasons and may be able to help some.  James clearly puts it, because we ask with selfish motives. We pray and try to use faith as a means to heap on ourselves the lusts of our flesh instead of the well being of others.  Simply put we don’t pray God’s will but ours.

Devo Answered prayer
John 15:14-17 (NIV)
14 You are my friends if you do what I command. 15 I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. 16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you. 17 This is my command: Love each other.
John 14:14-17 (NIV)
14 You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.  15 “If you love me, keep my commands. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— 17 the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.
Know Him and He will answer your prayers, and your prayers will be His will because you obey Him.  To know His Spirit is to know Him and if His Spirit dwells in you will know Him.  If He is your friend you will know the heart of God and will have what ever you ask because you will only want what God your friend desires.  If you love Him you will love each other and ask according to what is good for your brother and God’s will in their life.
