    We look at the kinds prayers we ought to pray in which God will answer "yes" every time.

    Most of you have probably heard that God answers our prayers in one of three ways: Yes, No, or wait. I believe that this is a wise way of looking at prayer but today we’re going to look only at the first answer. Honestly, when you say that God answered your prayers you mean that he said ...read more

    Each follower of the Christ has had the experience of praying earnestly, only to be disappointed to discover that God has not answered his/her prayer. When God doesn't answer our earnest request, then what?

And there was a widow in that city who kept coming to him and saying, “Give me justice against my ...read more

    Hopelessness is the doorway to hope and Christ is our doorway to eternal hope. The promise of hope in the future is our hope in the present, amen?

    How many of you have had the experience of praying to God and it seems like God is not listening or not answering your prayer? All of us, I would suspect. Sadly, I’ve seen that take people out of the faith. God didn’t answer their prayers so they either turned their back on God or concluded ...read more

    We've prayed so long, so hard, without any results. There is great assurance that He hears every prayer. He has made everything beautiful in its time. The longer a prayer is delayed, the more perfect it will come forth at last. The deeper the silence, the louder the answer.

    WHY DOESN'T GOD ANSWER MY PRAYERS? “So, I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.” (Luke 11:9) We've prayed so long and so hard without any results. There is great assurance that ...read more
