W hy is it that some people can execute the power of God while some do not? Could it be that some people are doing it wrong? Could it be that some people are approaching God wrongly? One of the things that get people in conflict with God is this. God is a King. And you and I cannot serve a king with a democracy mind set. When a person accepts Jesus as lord, that person is now a citizen of a different realm, and heavenly country. The person is now under a different form of government. When a King gave a command, there is no if and butt about it. Do it are leave it. If you leave it undone do not bother come back to the king. The king is going to sent you right back to preform the duty. We have seen the same thing happen in the book of Jonah. "Arise and go to Nineveh" We see Jesus never talk to Herod, but he did speak with Pilot. There are some people that God will neither listen to nor talk to. God expect us to utilize the revelation that is given to us, before coming to him. (((Only in the arias of our life where we are biblically correct, we will have success.)))
If the seeker's attitude is not right he/she will never hear from God. You cannot trick God nor challenge him to come out of light to talk to you in darkness. You cannot tell God that you do not have faith because he endow all men with believing faith. Bible scholar call this "natural faith"
Romans 12:3 (KJV) For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as (((God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.)))
YOU MUST UNDERSTAND THAT GOD IS A PERSON.
Isaiah 59:1 (KJV) Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: Isaiah 59:2 (KJV) 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 59:3-4 (KJV) For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness. [4] None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.
No matter how much one is going to pray, if God is offended by what you been saying against others and what you been doing to other people he is not going to be talking to you. Just like a parent having two children, and the stronger one keep beating upon the weaker one. The parents will still love that offending child but will not be please with his or her attitude. It is just the same things with God.
YOU HAVE TO COME IN AGREEMENT WITH GOD AND ADOPT HIS WAYS OF DOING THINGS.
Isaiah 55:8 (KJV) For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. Isaiah 55:9 (KJV) For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
Luke 6:46 (NASB-U) "Why do you call Me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say?
Eccles. 5:4 (KJV) When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed.
Eccles. 5:2 (KJV) Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.
YOU CANNOT SERVE GOD WITH YOUR MOUTH ONLY AND GET RESULT.
Isaiah 29:13 (KJV) Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:
Ezekiel 33:31 (KJV) And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as my people, and they hear thy words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they shew much love, but their heart goeth after their covetousness.
Matthew 15:8 (KJV) This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
YOUR PRAYERS WILL BE HINDERED UNTIL YOU DECIDE TO COMPLY.
Col. 3:19 (KJV) Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
1 Peter 3:7 (KJV) Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.
HAVING PROBLEM WITH YOUR WIFE.
(Love the wife) ( Be not bitter against the wife) ( Use knowledge to get along with the wife) ( Give honour to the wife) If you and I refuse to do what the scriptures say our prayers will be null.
HAVING PROBLEM WITH YOUR HUSBAND.
1 Peter 3:1-6 (NASB-U) In the same way, you wives, be submissive to your own husbands so that even if any of them are disobedient to the word, they may be won without a word by the behavior of their wives, [2] as they observe your chaste and respectful behavior. [3] Your adornment must not be merely external braiding the hair, and wearing gold jewelry, or putting on dresses; [4] but let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God. [5] For in this way in former times the holy women also, who hoped in God, used to adorn themselves, being submissive to their own husbands; [6] just as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, and you have become her children if you do what is right without being frightened by any fear.
Ephes. 5:23 (KJV) For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
If the scriptures teach you how to fix a certain problem, it makes no use asking God to fix it. God will never fix something that he already laid down information on how to do it. One of the main reasons why some people do not get their prayers answer is because they are acting like a horse and a mule. The mules were not given understanding but we got that from our creators and will not use it.
PROBLEM WITH YOUR SEX LIFE.
1 Cor. 7:1-5 (NASB-U) Now concerning the things about which you wrote, it is good for a man not to touch a woman. [2] But because of immoralities, each man is to have his own wife, and each woman is to have her own husband. [3] The husband must fulfill his duty to his wife, and likewise also the wife to her husband. [4] The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does; and likewise also the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. [5] Stop depriving one another, except by agreement for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer, and come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.
God is in some way just like human being. The scripture reveals that God talks, walks, and can be grieved in his heart. The scripture also reveals that God also has a sense of humor: he "Laughs." God can be angry; God can also be reasoned with and even be caused to change his mind. God was about to destroy the whole Nation of Israel when Moses stopped him. God was about to destroy all the nations about Sodom. Abraham prevented him from destroying the righteous with wicked in Sodom.
Deuteronomy 9:19-AV For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure, wherewith the LORD was wroth against you to destroy you. But the LORD hearkened unto me at that time also. Deuteronomy 9:20-AV And the LORD was very angry with Aaron to have destroyed him: and I prayed for Aaron also the same time.
Psalm 32:9 (NASB) Do not be as the horse or as the mule which have no understanding, Whose trappings include bit and bridle to hold them in check, Otherwise they will not come near to you.
Luke 6:46 (KJV)And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
DO NOT BOTHER TO COME TO GOD IF YOU DO NOT BELIEVE.
Hebrews 11:6 (KJV) But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
1 Tim. 2:8 (KJV) I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.
HAVING PROBLEM WITH PEOPLE.
2 Chron. 10:6-7 (KJV) And king Rehoboam took counsel with the old men that had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, What counsel give ye me to return answer to this people? [7] And they spake unto him, saying, If thou be kind to this people, and please them, and speak good words to them, they will be thy servants for ever.
YOU HAVE NO LOVE FOR OTHERS, HIS POWER WILL NEVER MANIFEST IN YOU.
1 John 4:20 (KJV) If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
1 Samuel 2:3 (NASB-U) "Boast no more so very proudly, Do not let arrogance come out of your mouth; For the Lord is a God of knowledge, And with Him actions are weighed.
IF YOU ARE NOT GOING TO ASK IN FAITH DO NOT BOTHER ASK.
James 1:5 (KJV) If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
James 1:6 (KJV) But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
James 1:7 (KJV) For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
GOD DOES NOT RESPOND TO EVIL DOERS.
Job 8:20 (KJV) Behold, God will not cast away a perfect man, neither will he help the evil doers:
GOD DOES NOT HELP THE DOUBLE MINDED.
James 1:6 (KJV) But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
James 1:7 (KJV) For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. James 1:8 (KJV) A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
GOD WILL NOT RESPOND TO PEOPLE UNTIL THEY ARE READY TO FORGIVE OTHERS.
Matthew 6:15 (KJV) But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Mark 11:26 (KJV)But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.
God will never bless you until you are ready to bless others. Job was delivered only after he prayed for his friends.
GOD DOES NOT DEAL WITH THE PROUD.
James 4:6 (KJV) But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
1 Peter 5:5 (KJV) Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
IF YOU ARE INVIOLATION OF HIS WORD, HE WILL NOT RESPOND TO YOU.
If God's word already have the answer to your need do not bother coming to him about that need.
PROBLEM WITH YOUR NEXT NEIGHBOUR.
Proverbs 3:30 (KJV) Strive not with a man without cause, if he has done thee no harm.
Proverbs 3:29 (NASB-U) Do not devise harm against your neighbor, While he lives securely beside you.
Proverbs 24:28 (NASB-U) Do not be a witness against your neighbor without cause, And do not deceive with your lips.
Proverbs 17:13 (KJV) Whoso rewardeth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.
