[Mark 11:21-26 KJV] “And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away. And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.”
“For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.”
“Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.”
Motivation
I want to touch on why many prayers go unanswered; for the simple reason that the church spends way too much time asking and receive very little. I wonder why we pray to the Almighty Prayer-answering God, and yet many of our prayers go unanswered.
In the next few paragraphs, I will by the grace of God touch on four reasons why many of our prayers don’t get answers.
Let us begin by trying to understand what prayer is! Prayer is speaking out vocally into the air believing that there is a God who can hear and answer you. I believe prayer must be vocal if it must birth faith.
4 reasons many prayers go unanswered
The first reason many prayers go unanswered is that we pray without a consuming desire. Sometimes we pray for praying sake. We don’t pray because we desire what we are praying about. The Lord said we should commit “whatsoever we desire” to prayer. Desire must come first.
The second reason is our lack of faith. The Bible states clearly that a double-minded person cannot receive anything from God. You must pray with faith and believe to receive. You must ask in faith. Faith is a master key that leads to answered prayer.
The third reason is not yielding to God’s time. The Bible teaches us to believe that it shall be ours and we shall have it. We must believe that God is bringing it and we shall have it.
The last reason is unforgiveness. You see, many of us don’t even deserve God’s mercy, yet He forgives us. We must, therefore, forgive others for the continuous flow of power into our lives.
Conclusion
May the Good Lord continue to work on our hearts and minds to desire, believe and wait. May many more people begin to engage these master keys for answered prayers. May God cause the answers to our prayers to be released in the name of Jesus Christ.
Stay blessed
Amen
