WHEN GOD DOES NOT ANSWER

Many believers complain that God does

not answer when they pray. God does always answer when we pray. We
just fail to recognize it. He might not answer in the way or in the
time that we expected. Most often we do not recognize it because it
was not the answer that we wanted or expected.
Many lack
confidence when they pray because they are living in sin and
disobedience. Others do not really believe. Some are foolish, they
want God's opinion in a matter, but they are intent on following
their own mind.
We must be serious when pray.
We read in
Hebrews 11:6 "And without faith it is impossible to please Him,
for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a
rewarder of those who seek Him."
Jesus said:“Ask, and it
will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be
opened to you. 8“For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks
finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. 9“Or what man is
there among you who, when his son asks for a loaf, will give him a
stone? 10“Or if he asks for a fish, he will not give him a snake,
will he? 11“If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to
your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give
what is good to those who ask Him!" Matthew 7:7-11.
The
apostle James wrote in James 1:5-8 "But if any of you lacks
wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without
reproach, and it will be given to him. 6But he must ask in faith
without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the
sea, driven and tossed by the wind. 7For that man ought not to expect
that he will receive anything from the Lord, 8being a double-minded
man, unstable in all his ways."
Do not be doubting or double
minded. Be serious when you approach God. Trust, believe and expect
an answer. Jesus is faithful. He answers every prayer of those who
earnestly seek Him.
May Jesus bless you.

God will answer you quickly

God cares for us. He gives life to all things. He makes His sun to shine on all people, good and bad. It is not His will that any perish but that all come to Him and have life.

The apostle James wrote in James 1:5-8 “But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him. 6But he must ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind. 7For that man ought not to expect that he will receive anything from the Lord, 8being a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.”

However, people do not believe in God, and therefor they do not ask. Some claim to believe but they have no faith in God. They rather believe in themselves, or in other people. Even professing Christians do not trust in God, they do not believe. They run after other people and listen to their advice because they do not trust God and therefor they suffer and perish. We read further in James 4:2-10. “You do not have because you do not ask. 3You ask and do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on your pleasures. 4You adulteresses, do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. 5Or do you think that the Scripture speaks to no purpose: “He jealously desires the Spirit which He has made to dwell in us”? 6But He gives a greater grace. Therefore it says, “GOD IS OPPOSED TO THE PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE.” 7Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. 8Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9Be miserable and mourn and weep; let your laughter be turned into mourning and your joy to gloom.10Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you.”



The solution, to hear from God and receive wisdom and guidance from Him is quite simple. We must seek His will and not our own selfish desires. We have to turn from evil and seek holiness and righteousness. If we seek Him, we will find Him and Jesus will reveal Himself to us. Obey the gospel of Jesus Christ, accept Him, obey His words as recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Repent and be baptized in water for the forgiveness of your sin. Pray, seek Jesus with all your heart, He will answer you and He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit will be with you, stay with you and guide you into all truth, if you listen to Him, follow and obey Him. You will never be alone. He will always be with you, but you have to stay with Him.

He will answer you quickly, as it is promised:”He, your Teacher will no longer hide Himself, but your eyes will behold your Teacher. Your ears will hear a word behind you, "This is the way, walk in it," whenever you turn to the right or to the left.” Isaiah 30:20,21



May Jesus bless you.

You cannot force God to answer you

The difference between a believer and a

true follower of Jesus Christ is that the disciple, the true follower
of Jesus, is led by the Holy Spirit. The true follower of Jesus knows
the Master's voice. Jesus said:"My sheep hear My voice, they
listen to Me and they follow Me."

If we truly believe in Jesus then we
will obey Him, obey His commands, do what He told us to do; repent,
turn away from sin and from going after her own thoughts, our own
desires. and go after Jesus. We will stop sinning, and live holy.
Jesus said:"If you love Me, obey My words." He also said
that the one who loves Him is the one who obeys His commands, and Him
and the Father, will come and dwell with that person, with him, and
He will reveal Himself to that person. He will give His spirit, the
Holy Spirit in that person, so that they will know Jesus for real.
They will be able to hear His voice, listen to Him and follow Him.

If we truly seek Jesus, He will reveal
Himself to us. He is Lord, and He speaks, and He guides all those who
seek Him, all those who seek life. If we need wisdom we have to pray
and ask Jesus, and He will

guide us. He will give us wisdom, He
will give us guidance, but many believers make the mistake of
becoming familiar with Jesus. They think that I can sit down and have
a conversation with Jesus. They think that He has to answer them
every time that they ask something. They want to force Him to answer.
They only want to consult Him about their life, about those things
that are important to them. We cannot force God to answer us. We
cannot force Jesus to give us an answer on a specific thing. We have
to follow Him. He will guide us. We have to ask Him for wisdom, but
we must realize that the things that are often important to us, are
not important to Jesus. What is important to Jesus, is the kingdom of
God, His kingdom, and Jesus will not always answer our questions in a
way that we think, or ask, or demand. We must remember that the
kingdom of God is about Jesus, about His kingdom, about serving Him.

Many people want to force God to answer
them, true believers, but they do not understand that we have to wait
on the Lord. We have to seek His kingdom, His will, His guidance, all
those things that are important to Him, because if we follow Jesus,
we are living for Him and His kingdom. The things that we are often
worried about are not important. The knowledge that we think that we
need is often not important. What is important is that we follow
Jesus and that we be taught by Him, what He wants to teach us.

We are free to ask anything from Him.
We can ask Him understanding about anything, but He will answer in
the time and in the way that He pleases, and often He will not answer
us because the things that we are concerned about are trivialities.
The things that many Christians are worried about have nothing to do
with the kingdom of God. Many of them want to understand the Bible.
They want to understand prophecy and they want to know about the
future. They want to know about what they must do for their benefit,
and they expect Jesus to always answer them. Many believers try to
force Jesus to answer them, they think that they can pray and ask
Jesus to them an answer from the Bible, as though the Bible is a
magic book; and then they open the Bible at random places and they
find a scripture, which they regard as guidance. We can receive a
scripture as guidance, but once we start forcing Jesus or trying to
force Him to answer us, we are on a dangerous road, because we cannot
force God.

We cannot force Jesus to answer us. We
have to seek Him, seek His will, seek His guidance, and He will speak
to you; in His time and in His own way. He might speak to you in a
voice that permeates your whole being, not just your ear, or He might
give you understanding. Suddenly you understand what you did not
understand, because He puts understanding in you, but we have to wait
for His guidance and His answer. We have to seek His will. We have to
seek His kingdom. We must pray about those things that we are
concerned about, those things that we do not understand, but we must
wait on the Lord and let Him guide us and teach us in His time; and
when He speaks to us, when He reveals the truth to us or gives us
understanding, then we will know when it is from Him.

If you ask Jesus, He will answer you
but you have to trust Him. You have to wait for His answer, in His
time, in His own way. You cannot force Him. We have to humbly follow
Jesus, and seek His kingdom, His righteousness. If we trust Him and
stay with Him, with time He will reveal His ways to us, and we will
gain understanding, but those who try to force the hand of God, those
who try to force an answer from the Lord. will become confused.

Never lean on your own understanding.
Don't look to other people for guidance. Look to Jesus. Ask Him.
Wait on Him, and expect Him. Trust Him. He will answer you. He will
guide you. He has spoken to me many times, in a night vision, in a
dream, or just spoken through my whole being, with a loud voice that
was not in my ear but was in my spirit, and I knew that it came from
God. Often He did not answer my question, but He engineered my
circumstances. He made things happen in His way, and when they
happened, I saw it was the hand of God.

We have to walk by faith, not by our
own insight or understanding. We have to submit ourselves to the Lord
and humbly trust Him, wait on Him and undividedly believe in Him.
Then He will guide us, He will teach us. He will guide our footsteps
and He will keep us from stumbling, but we have to stay with Him. We
have to be serious about following Jesus Christ, seek His will,
submit to Him, trust Him, wait on Him, and He will guide and teach
you. He is our teacher. He is our Lord and Master. All we need is
Jesus, but we have to trust Him and stay with Him. Without Jesus we
can do nothing. Submit to Him, seek Him with all your heart and He
will reveal Himself to you. You will get to know Him for real.

May Jesus bless you.

Seek the Lord He will answer

Jesus Christ is Lord, He
is mighty. He is almighty. There is nothing that He cannot do, but He
will not force Himself on us. Without Jesus we can do nothing, but if
we ask Jesus to involve Himself in our lives, He will do the
impossible. He will do mighty things, because all power and all
authority belongs to Jesus Christ, and He wants to reveal Himself in
and through us. He wants to show Himself to us as Lord, as God
Almighty. We just need to seek Him. We just need to ask Him and He
will demonstrate Himself in a mighty way.

We cannot change the
world, but if we start praying and we ask Jesus then He can and He
will. We cannot change ourselves, we cannot change other people, but
Jesus can if we ask Him. Jesus Christ answers the prayers of those
who diligently seek Him. Those who seek Him find Him. If you need
wisdom, ask of Jesus and He will give it to you. Whatever you need,
go to Jesus, but if you do not ask Him you will not receive.

This world is in terrible
darkness it is falling to pieces, but if we do not invite Jesus if we
do not ask him to help us to come down and change this world then He
will not. If we as his children seek Him, if we plead Him, if we ask
Him He will come down and He will change this world. He will change
us, but we have to submit ourselves to Him. Pray according to His
will. It is not His will that anyone perish. It is not his will that
this world be destroyed. It is not his will that anybody ends up in
hell, but if we do not ask Jesus to come down, to bring a Spirit of
Conviction on this world, for the Holy Spirit to convict the world of
sin, righteousness and judgment, then many will perish.

We have to pray, ask Jesus
to send His Spirit to convict the world. If we pray Jesus will
answer. If we pray Jesus will lift us up. If we seek Jesus then He
will reveal Himself to us, but if we don't we will perish, many will
perish. Without Jesus we can do nothing. Seek Jesus, pray, seek Him
with all your heart. If we hunger and thirst for Him He will satisfy
us. If we call on Him He will answer us. If we reach out to Him, He
will be quick to answer our prayers. Seek Jesus. He is waiting for us
to call on Him.

May Jesus bless you.

Answer To The Call

Jesus Christ said that many are called but few are chosen. Some of those who are chosen by Jesus to follow Him are not following the calling, they are not doing what Jesus called them to do. The calling and the gifts of God are irrevocable. If Jesus has called you, you must answer to the call because if you do not answer that is disobedience, and you will end up in hell. Every branch in Him that does not bear fruit will get cut off and

burned. You must answer to the call.

Many of those who have been called are being prevented from answering to the call by other things; it could be a spouse, a girlfriend, a boyfriend, maybe their occupation, stumbling blocks in the way of them following Jesus Christ,your friends. Jesus Christ will remove those stumbling blocks; if a wife or a spouse, or a job, or an ambition, is standing in your way of following Him and answering to the call, He will remove those  things if they persist, they keep one standing in your way.

Jesus is a jealous God, and when He calls, us we must answer. We have to answer to that call because Jesus will not turn back on His call. You either follow Him or you will perish. There's only one way to have eternal life and that is to obey the Master. He

will remove all the stumbling blocks and He will cut off all the unfruitful branches. Those who have been called must answer to that call and do the task, the job that Jesus called them for, or else they will perish. Answer to His call, follow Him with all your heart. He will guide you every step of the way. Do not let anything stand in your way. Follow the Master and follow His calling, do his work. Do not delay.

May Jesus bless you.

The Answer

Jesus Christ IS the answer for all your questions and all your problems, both now and for eternity. Whatever you need to know, go on your knees, humble yourself before Him and pray, SEEK HIM and you will find Him, draw closer to Him and He will draw closer to you. Seek Him with all your heart and He will reveal Himself to you.

Jesus Christ ALONE is the WAY, the TRUTH and the LIFE, there is no other. Jesus IS the answer and He has all the answers. Go to Jesus and He will guide you.

Jesus is Coming! Are you READY?

PRAY IT RIGHT

Carnal Christians and unbelievers try to fix their problems through worldly means, natural ways. They do like the rest of the world. If they have relationship problems with other people they want to talk it right, preachers want to preach it right. Religious people apply a Bible verse and they want to manipulate people by using scripture, or they attend some magical seminar to sort out their relationships. They might go to the psychologist and talk about it or they go on medication. When the carnal Christian is sick then he goes to the doctor or he swallows a pill.

But the child of God PRAYS, he PRAYS about all his problems and he submits himself and his problem to Jesus Christ who KNOWS all things and who can fix all things. That is the difference between a true child of God and a carnal Christian who is the same as an unbeliever because he does not really believe that God can do anything about his problem. He has either got to get help from outside, from some professional or he will try to fix it himself because he does not KNOW Jesus Christ nor does he TRUST Jesus Christ.

A child of God, a true follower of Jesus Christ firstly submits himself to the Lordship of Jesus Christ and asks the Lord to examine HIM, to make sure that HE is in the faith, that HE is in the will of God, say:”Lord examine me, test me and try me, see if there is in ME an evil way. Please lead ME on the right way.” And then I can with confidence take all my problems to Jesus and submit them to HIM, put all my problems under HIS LORDSHIP under HIS GOVERNMENT and TRUST HIM that He will fix it. If I do not trust Him and I try to fix it myself HE WILL NOT FIX IT because He does not share His glory with anybody.

A true child of God submits everything, all His problems, his whole life to Jesus Christ and then he himself stays focused on Jesus and makes sure that he stays in the will of God. Jesus said:”Seek ye FIRST the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all the other things will be added unto you.”

Don't try and fix it, pray it right but FIRST submit yourself to Jesus and then he will firstly fix YOU and He will fix your problem.

May Jesus bless you.

You cannot FORCE GOD

If we need guidance or wisdom we must ask of the Lord and He will freely give it to us, but we cannot FORCE GOD to answer us. Many people think that they can force God to give them an answer to their question. Some people pray and then they open the Bible and they hope that the Bible will open at the answer that God is giving them. That is WITCHCRAFT. That is not WAITING on the Lord.

If we ask of God we must HUMBLY WAIT on Him UNTIL He answers. He will answer in His own way at His owns time. God is GOD, we cannot FORCE GOD. It is not about us and our problem, it is about Jesus Christ and the Kingdom of God.

If we go to Him we must go BELIEVING, EXPECTANTLY, HUMBLY, ask of Him and WAIT on Him and IN HIS TIME, He will give us the RIGHT ANSWER.

May Jesus bless you.

The Answer

Jesus Christ is the Alpha and the Omega, He is the beginning and the end. He was before all things and in Him all things hold together. He knows all things, He is the Light of the World and those who follow Him will never be in darkness. Jesus IS the answer. He has all the answers to all your questions.

If you follow Jesus Christ He will guide you into all the truth. You need nothing more than Jesus Christ Himself. If you follow Jesus then you know where you are going because He guides you every step of the way.

Jesus Christ IS THE ANSWER.

May Jesus bless you.

Go to Jesus

The reason why the world is in such a mess is because they have rejected Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is LORD, He is GOD and without Him we can do absolutely nothing. Without Jesus there is NO HOPE, NO FUTURE, NO LIFE. Even so called Christians run after philosophy and they run to other people, psychology and they follow the teachings of people. They are looking for solutions in the Bible, little books and tapes but they don't go to Jesus and that is why they are LOST.

Jesus Christ is the SOLE SOLUTION. Without Jesus you are doomed, lost and damned. Don't go to church, don't go to other people. Don't look for solutions with mortals, with money or the things of this world. Go after Jesus. Seek Jesus, Go to Jesus and He will give you LIFE.

Jesus Christ Himself IS LIFE. Seek Him and find Him and STAY WITH HIM. The moment you leave Jesus you are LOST AND DOOMED. Seek Jesus while you can.

May Jesus bless you.
