Make sure your Prayers are heard *
Did you know God doesnt automatically hear or listen to your prayers? It is true.
What believers need to know:
When we sin God cuts off communucation. Your fellowship os cut off until you repent and turn from the sins and back to Him and the righteous path.
Sometimes God brings discipline to us for not dealing with those sins and not living right, other times it is to test us or cause us to move away from the world and rely on him more and more. If you are not living right, are in sins, or not actually saved, he wont hear your prayers.
Scripture on topic:
Isaiah 1:15, the Lord says, “When you spread out your hands in prayer, I hide my eyes from you; even when you offer many prayers, I am not listening."
Proverbs 28:9 says, “If anyone turns a deaf ear to my instruction [not saved ¬ obedient], even their prayers are detestable.”
“If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me” (Psalm 66:18).
“But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear” (Isaiah 59:2).
God is aware of every prayer (He is), but whether God is tuning in to our prayers, and has an intent to answer them, depends on if we are in any sin blocking those prayers and that fellowship. It needs to be resolved so fellowship and blessing can be restored.
