Well yesterday day (Sabbath) I went to West End the church in which as of last week I am now a member. Pastor Preston spoke. It was a great sermon.
The Title: Why does God not answer our prayers (key text Psalms 80:4-7)
He also gave the powerful accounts when God answered the prayer of his people as found in Joshua 10: tells the story of when Joshua asked God to allow the sun to stay up so they could finish fighting the Amorites and God did and II Kings 20: tells the story of Hezekiah pleaing that God would spare his life and God did and added 15 years to his life. When men and women pray to God hears and longs to answer for our good. I serve an awesome GOD.
He listed 5 reasons why God does not always answer our prayer:
1. We have the wrong Spirit (Luke 18:9- 13)
2. We fail to forgive others (Matthew 6: 14,15)
3. We regard sin in our heart, our pet sin, we defend our pet sin (Psalms 66:18)
4. We fail to submit to Biblical teachings (Proverbs 28:9)
5. Our prayers are inconsistent with God's will (Luke 22:42)
Father my prayer is that it is not important what I desire but you know what is best for me. I submit my life to Your will!!!
