Are Your Prayers Being Heard ?
Always turn to Scripture for answers. Turn to Revelation chapter 8 v3 .
John observes and records for us in the now. An Angel illustrates how our prayers are presented to and subsequently heard by God . There is a Divine mandated order of things each individual must follow to have their prayers offered to God . It's simple .
Repent to Christ before prayer .
Christ knows your thoughts and intentions . You can't fool Christ with lip service . Repent means to have a change of heart . For that short moment after repenting you are considered cleansed for prayer.
As it is written in Proverbs 28 ' he that turns his ear away from hearing God's instruction, that person's prayer shall be discarded as an abomination .
As Revelation 8:2 indicates the prayers of all saints come before the Lord . This means God is only listening to His saints . Saints means dedicated ones .
To be a saint you must be single minded strong to our Lord Jesus Christ . Saints must follow our Lord God's instructions willingly with unquestioned obedience . Only then will your prayers be considered.
Be aware that God has nothing to prove to you . God is fair . His Christ warned us many times, Do Not Be Deceived by any man .
Sugar coating Gods word to please people is deception . People that think they know better than God are sent to go play somewhere else with the rest of the egotistical know it alls . If people who think they know better than God were allowed in heaven, it would be nothing more than a new hell .
You cannot violate the principles of God without consequence . Whenever and wherever God's word is called into question, Satan is there .
Whenever and wherever God's word is challenged, the Devil is there .
If you ever entertain doubts about God's word, the False Prophet is there .
If God's word makes you feel uneasy and causes you to express suspicion towards its validity, Evil Spirits are there infested in your ego feeding all of your uncertainty's .
The punishment of wavering faith in God lye's within the sin itself . Your prayers are not only dis-regarded by default, you yourself are dis-regarded by Christ by default .
Matthew 7 . The self proclaimed Christian that harboured objections to parts of God's word . Christ says to them "Depart from me, you people never got to know Me" . You thought you knew better than Me . You changed or ignored parts of God's word to suit what you think is best . You people thought so highly of yourselves that you wrote your own road to salvation .
By default they have chosen Satan . Satan has a special place for all you that believe you know better than God . It is not hell to you because you are with like minded people there for a thousand years. These people will have a thousand years to trip around trying to convince each other how they know better than God . All of these people can go at each other just like they do today world wide . The human ego supports the definition of evil . Arrogant, aggressive and always in conflict .
That would be hell for us who have humbled our entire selves and submitted ourselves willingly to our Lord Jesus Christ with un-questioning obedience .
Psalms 119, Great peace have they that love the law, that love God's instruction . Their prayers are heard by God .
