How To Get All Your Prayers Answered And Be Blessed

LISTEN TO GOD AND GOD WILL LISTEN TO YOU

     Today we learn that there is a way that anyone can have all their prayers answered. If anyone listens to God, God will listen to them and answer all their prayers. In other words, we reap what we sow. If anyone ignores God (never reads their bible or goes to church) and is only concerned about this world, God will ignore them and not answer their prayers.

     But, if anyone listens to God daily by memorizing and reading the bible, going to church always and listening to the pastor preach the bible, and obeying the instructions of the Holy Spirit, God will listen to them and answer all their prayers. And the more anyone listens to God (takes more time reading the bible and going to church), the more God will answer all their prayers. This should make anyone want to read the bible cover to cover this year and reread the bible again every year. 

     Notice that Zechariah 7:13 says Therefore it is come to pass, that as He (The Lord Jesus) cried, and they would not hear; so they cried, and I would not hear, saith the Lord of hosts. In other words, Zechariah said that because the people did not listen to God, God did not listen to them and answer any of their prayers. These people reaped what they sowed. They did not listen to God; so God did not listen to them. 

     Proverbs 1:24 also tells us that when people do not listen to God, God will not listen to them and will not answer their prayers. God says at Proverbs 1:24 Because I have called and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand and no man regarded; But ye have set at naught all my counsel and would none of my reproof; I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; When your fear cometh as desolation and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind, when distress and anguish come upon you; Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me. 

     But notice that Proverbs 1:33 tells us that when people listen to God, God listens to them and blesses them with peace and safety, answering all their prayers. The Lord Jesus said at Proverbs 1:33 But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil. Alright let's learn three ways to listen to God and get all our prayers answered.

WAYS TO LISTEN TO GOD AND GET ALL YOUR PRAYERS ANSWERED

1) DAILY READ AND MEMORIZE YOUR BIBLE

      The first way to listen to our Lord Jesus and get all our prayers answered is to daily read and memorize the bible. God speaks to us through His Word. The bible is God's Word to us that we need to listen to daily. How often are you reading and memorizing the bible so you can listen to God and get all your prayers answered? God speaks from the bible because the phrase "saith the Lord" occurs over 800 times in the bible. Like Brother Bob, keep daily reciting and memorizing bible scriptures. Psalm 119:11 says Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

     Right now claim it and say Job 23:12 Neither have I gone back from the commandment of His lips; I have esteemed the words of His mouth more than my necessary food. Say Jeremiah 15:16 Thy words were found and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart; for I am called by thy name, O Lord God of hosts. 

     Jesus told us at 1 Timothy 4:13 Till I come, give attendance (pay close attention) to reading (the Word of God), to exhortation, to doctrine. And Proverbs 4:20 says My son, attend (pay close attention) to my words; incline thine ear unto mine sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. If you take time to attend to and daily read and memorize the bible, the Lord Jesus will say that man or woman is listening to me so I'm gonna listen to them when they pray and grant their requests. 

GEORGE MULLER

A MAN THAT LISTENED TO GOD AND HAD ALL HIS PRAYERS ANSWERED

     Let's learn from history's man of faith George Muller who listened to God and had all his prayers answered. George Muller started an orphanage in Bristol England during the 1800s after 26 orphan children were left abandoned at his doorstep. Eventually by faith George Muller took care of 10000 orphan children at his blessed orphanage (2100 orphans every year) for 40 years. For 40 years, none of the orphans ever lacked food, clothing, shelter, or education. And 163 of the 10000 orphans became missionaries that traveled to foreign lands to preach the gospel and win souls.

     Now note that during George Muller's life, George read and memorized the KJV bible from cover to cover 200 times (100 times on his knees). George listened to God daily by reading and memorizing the bible, and therefore God listened to George and answered and granted over 20000 prayer requests. George made a catalog of all his 20000 prayers and told no one during his life about these noted prayers. After George Muller died, his notebook was found with 20000 specific prayer requests and the day God answered each of the 20000 prayer requests. George Muller said he couldn't remember any of his prayers that God did not answer. Because George Muller listened to God, the Lord Jesus allowed George to print 111 million gospel tracts, and God gave George Muller over 5 million dollars for his orphanages.

2) ALWAYS GO TO CHURCH AND LISTEN TO THE PREACHER

SPEAK GOD'S WORD

     Another way to listen to God and get all your prayers answered is to always go to church and listen to the preacher speak God's Word. God has preachers speak his Word for saints to listen to and then get all their prayers answered. Amos 3:7 tells us Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but He revealeth His secret unto His servants, the prophets (the preacher spokesmen and speakers). We need to always attend our local church and listen to the blessed secrets from God's word that are only revealed to our pastors.

     And note that the Lord Jesus speaks to us and manifests his Word to us through the preaching of the pastors in our local churches. This is proven by Titus 1:3 that says But hath in due times manifested His Word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour.  

     If you give your undivided attention to the pastor and the preachers in your local church, God will give His undivided attention to your prayers and grant all your requests. If you make the effort to always attend and support your local church, the Lord Jesus will see your effort and listen to and answer all your prayer requests. It's important to attend church whenever the doors of your local church are open. The more you attend and listen to the preaching of God's Word at your local church, the more God will listen to your prayers and grant all your requests.

     We should all be like my friend Pastor Art Kohl who always plans to attend church all day Sunday and Wednesday night anywhere he travels for vacations. When Art plans to travel to Idaho, Jamaica, or Alaska, Art searches and finds a local church in Idaho, Jamaica, or Alaska that he can attend all day Sunday or Wednesday. You won't find Art on the beach in Jamaica all day Sunday during his vacation; Hallelujah, Art will be in a Jamaican church all day Sunday listening to the Word of God. And wow Art testified that he has not missed a Sunday or Wednesday church service anytime anywhere during any vacation for over 50 years.  

     Finally, Art Kohl said that we all need to always attend church to hear the Word of God to get our prayers answered. If you don't like a particular church, find any church anywhere; Just go somewhere where you can hear someone preaching from the KJV bible. Romans 10:14 tells us How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things.

3) LISTEN TO AND OBEY THE HOLY SPIRIT'S INSTRUCTIONS

     Finally, if we listen to and obey the Holy Spirit's instructions, God will listen to and answer all our prayers. Isaiah 30:21 proves that the Holy Spirit speaks to us saying And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.

     In other words, the more we listen to and obey the Holy Spirit's instructions, the more God will listen to and answer our prayers. When the Holy Spirit tells us to stop sinning (fornicating, being angry, speaking negative words, drinking alcohol, gambling, and smoking weed) we need to obey the Spirit's instructions to be blessed. We need to obey the Spirit and witness and tell everyone to repent, get saved, confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died for them on the cross, was buried, and rose again to get our prayers answered. 

     We need to obey the Spirit and visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction speaking kind words to get our prayers answered. We need to obey the Spirit and stop looking at sinful websites or listening to ungodly music to get our prayers answered. We need to obey the Spirit and try daily to never curse anyone but instead speak kindly to everyone (even the unloveable), blessing and loving our enemies, while we deny our flesh to get our prayers answered. We need to obey the Spirit, and call people on the phone with kind words of prayer to uplift and encourage people everywhere to get our prayers answered.

     Finally, remember to always pray and make your requests to God, instead of trying on your own to fix your problem. There is never a wrong time to pray. Luke 18:1 says And He spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint. And 1 Thessalonians 5:17 tells us to pray without ceasing. And James 5:16 tells us that the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

     Whenever you face any trouble, learn to first tell the trouble to God in prayer (instead of trying to fix it yourself) and because you listen to God, God will listen to you and answer your prayer. Philippians 4:6 says Be careful for nothing (don't worry); but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 

     Friends everywhere, after you read this bible study, I pray in Jesus name that God will answer all your prayers and grant your requests. I claim in Jesus name for all my friends 1 John 5:14 And this is the confidence that we have in Him (Jesus) that if we ask anything according to His will, He heareth us; And if we know that He hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of Him. 

     I pray in Jesus name that this bible study blesses multitudes all over this earth with great joy, peace, and strength where Jesus listens to and answers all their prayers.
