[quote author=pradoyeep post=126122016]You may have been in gatherings were so-called christians shout fire, Holy ghost fire, without any tangible results in their lives. Some may even result in looking for diabolical means if their prayers are not yielding results.

Why are prayers Hindered.

(1) Unconfessed sin: If a Christian does not confess his or her sins to God, and make peace with those he or she offended, it may cause hinderances to prayers.

(2) Evil Covenants: As sincere and genuine as a Christian may be, if there are known or unknown evil covenants that are not broken, this may resist answers to prayers. Positive confession s


Many Christians are hypocrites

Funny

You didn't mention politicians

You didn't mention principalities and powers


Almighty God the creator of all doesn't answer all prayers too

Even the devil can "bless" too

Abi you don't know

And also rain, air, sunshine fall on all, that's the grace of God

Typical black man.

The whiteman is strategizing on colonizing other planets and you're still praying and casting out poverty.

The Devil can bless but will online work with trading..

Prayers will not be answered if Tinubu administration does not favor your family. It’s so funny that most prayers in the world come from shithole Nigeria.

If witches and foundation have not dealt with you before you can still doubt, especially that number 5.It is true foundations are real

(3) Pride: spiritual pride, normal pride, pride of being a prayer warrior can resist answers to a person's prayer.

(4) Lack of Importunity: Praying without intense satisfaction may not bring answers. You must pray deeply until your soul and spirit are satisfied. Do not force faith on shabby or unsatisfactory prayers. Apply great faith when you have prayed through.

(5) Foundational Issues: A Christian who has not dealt with foundational powers, ancestral powers, idols of his father's house, powers of his or her father's house, may have resistance to getting results after prayers.

These insights are from myself and others.

No scriptural back up. These are man made doctrines

Work hard to make your heart desires come to pass. praying is a futile attempt. there's been no single study that points to prayer being useful. Templeton Foundation (a religious group) ran a study and found out prayers are useless

You would have the same success praying to a milk jug as you do praying to god -- the milk jug sometimes answers your prayer the way you want to, sometimes not and sometimes the answer is delayed. See the problem here? If things turn out the way you want them to, you say it was because you prayed. If not, it's because god knows what's best and you didn't pray for the right thing. Or, if it happens 10 years later you say god answered your prayer, it was just delayed. This is nonsense. You would have the exact same effect doing nothing.

Christians aka followers of apostle paul teachings will not align with you because they believe in Jesus name every prayer must be answered.

Thank goodness your lies are very easy to refute.

Average Christians have created more problems in the name of worshipping God

Praying amiss

No prayer is hindered. It is either you are praying amiss or your prayers can be good but God answers prayer at His own time.
In African traditional religion, delay in response from the gods to people's prayers means they have a spiritual problem or a bad person.
That's what ur pastors are bringing to the church.
They are practicing syncretism and calling it pentecostalism

The 3 major reasons why prayers are hindered:

1. Unconfessed sin.

2. Lack of faith.

3. Lack of sufficient faith through Fasting and praying.

There is no power that can withstand prayer and fasting.

Exactly, you hitted the point correctly

He lied!

You see, Scripture states that god does not answer the prayers of the unrighteous; the pleas and requests and every petition, praise, offering, work, plea, sacrifice, etc., of the unrighteous are tainted by their sins(disobedience/unholiness) and are hence an abomination to God. So, what is definite is that even your many pleas for the forgiveness of sins are not answered by God given that God made no special exemptions for that kind of plea. No amount of praying can cause God to change His mind regarding that which concerns the unrighteous by the way. So if you are thinking of prescribing more prayers that only means you really don't understand or know god at all.

God, however, openly bragged about how He only answers the prayers of the righteous; He delights in granting them the desires of their heart meaning that they are those who he loves. For this very reason, Jesus Christ urged His followers to seek first the Kingdom of God and God's Righteousness in order that all things— the blessings and rewards of the Kingdom of God(holiness), answers to prayers included—shall be added on to them. As Jesus Christ explained in His Gospel, the only way to become Holy, and then also Righteous, is by way of continuous submission and obedience to the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ, God's Truth and Law in the Kingdom of god - John 8 vs 31 - 36 & John 14 vs 15 - 23. Jesus Christ is the only way. Obedience to the Truth of God is the one and only path to God and to His righteousness. No amount of praying and other religious rituals can accomplish that.

God deals indirectly with the unrighteous, the same way He deals with the unbelievers including the wicked and the ungrateful and that is by pouring out His mercy and kindness on them daily. So every time as an unrighteous you feel that God has answered your prayer know that at that same moment, or moments before that, God also provided the same mercy or similar to someone else— atheists, witches, pagans, etc. inclusive — across the world — or maybe just across from you— who does not even believe in god, nor asked god for anything. So, if answers from God are what you seek, then do what Jesus Christ said you should, which is to seek first the Kingdom of God(holiness), and then God's righteousness, in order that all these things —the blessings and rewards of the Kingdom of God(including answers to prayers) can be added to you.

There is no such thing as prayers that are not prayed at the right time.

You need to understand the meaning of the word "amiss" in order to realize what James was instead trying to tell you in that verse that you pulled from his epistle. If you consult Webster's dictionary, you will find that the word means to be in an imperfect state, a state that is not in the right order aka unrighteous.

amiss

1. : not being in accordance with the right order. : faulty, imperfect.

What James was saying in that verse is that the reason you do not receive from God is that you are asking in an unrighteous state—a state that is not in accordance with God's mandate of righteousness. So, clearly, you cannot benefit anything from remaining in an unrighteous state as far as God is concerned. That is what God said, and James reiterated it in that verse there.

Praying amiss

Praying amiss meanings praying while unholy and unrighteous! God does not answer the prayers of those who are not first Holy and Righteous.

Tinubu prayers is answered...emi lokan is a prayer that buried those fake men of God in Nigeria. God emi lokan the God of Tinubu answer me.

ExtremeDot:
Your prayers are only hindered because of lack of faith and hard work.

That is a lie since what you are insinuating only applies to those who are unrighteous, those whose prayers God does not answer at all.

Lamasta:
The sacrifices and prayer of the unrighteous who believes they are christians are abomination before God.....God does not honour the prayer of the unrighteous

Exactly! Even the many Pharisees that make up your churches — from the pastors/gods of men to the seat warmers, all unrighteous— God does not answer their prayers as they dwell in that which is against HIm.

studycenter:
Prayer in the first place is a yearning from within for things that the physical can't control. Sometimes, it's as simple as just thoughts and imagination. If getting results for what we yearn for is subjected to your list, we'd all be doomed. Because, the heart of a man is desperately wicked. You forgot to name the most important thing that should be on this list.
1. Environment If you like pray fire, once you're in a wrong environment, it affects everything. Why do you think people travel abroad and succeed drastically? Why don't people living in the first world country pray as much as people pray in Nigeria? Besides the 1-5% prayers for sound health, the remaining percentage is about finance. What do people pray for in Nigeria that is not all about money? The religious folks in Nigeria make it seem like everyone is a sinner. Hence, the reason for their predicament. A rich kidnaper in the congregation is seen as the most righteous. He give the fattest offering and share the most shocking testimony. Eee tire me self!

You folks and your silly concoctions which you mistake for teachings of God never cease to amaze. The reason most folks succeeded abroad has to do with the fact that the systems out there are built to favor those who work hard than those who don't work hard. Simple. That has nothing to do with God's answering of prayers nor does it change anything of what God said.

The number (1) has already answered all the Epistles you wrote there. The unconfessed sin. So what is your controversy ?Read 1 Corinthians 6; 9-11. Forgiveness comes through by confession, repentance and following God's commandments. 1 John 1:9 .

God bless you sir, it confirms my insight.

I don't need his respect either. Neither do I respect him cuz it's hard to respect imaginary beings

Yeah! Don't you fear God? Who are you a mortal man! A man for the punishment of his sin? Take your time.

Not praying according to the will of God.

WORK HARD, PRAY HARD, HAVE FAITH & SATISFACTORY RESULTS AWAITS YOU .

ABOVE ALL START EVERY PRAYER BY CONFESSING YOUR SINS AND ABSTAIN FROM SIN AND EVERY FORM OF EVIL.

GOD BLESS US AMEN !

There is no such thing as not "praying according to the Will of God" since Jesus Christ Himself said, "ALL THINGS WHATSOEVER YOU ASK .... YOU SHALL RECEIVE". Also, Jesus Christ made clear that the Will of God refers to God's Law — His teachings and commandments as given by Jesus Christ — and the statement above is a part of God's Law.

Wrong! Unconfessed sin has nothing to do with Holiness and Righteousness. You can confess all your sins from morning till evening and still remain unrighteous till the day you die.
