ANSWERING PRYERS: Why is it when one prays God might or might not give what you ask for. Well it all comes down to one thing, God's Will. If one believe's scripture and scripture says God is all sovereign (the chief of state in a monarchy. Adj.1-Supreme, 2- Independent (soverignty). If one believes that God is a sovereign God and God's Will, will always be done no matter what, then only if what you are praying for is in God's Will to begin with it will be given to you. Your prayers will always be answered to your satisfaction if you pray that Gods Will will be done over your own will. There's no choice in the matter, God's Will will always be done. So when you get that feeling that you want to pray be thrilled because God is getting ready to bless you. God does not change.This is scripture. So therefore if God did not want to give you something that you are asking for in prayer, no matter how hard or how many times you pray for this it will not change God's mind. No human has ever changed God's mind in the history of mankind. Now the Bible has stories that would make it sound that God has changed His mind on certain things but He never changed His mind. It was always in His Will to begin with. One example is when God was going to destroy Sodom and Gamorra. Abraham asked God if he found 100 people who were righteous would God spare the cities. God said yes. Then He asked if he could find 50 would He spare the cities? God said yes Anyway Abraham seemed to dicker God all the way down to 5 or 10 righteous people and the Lord would spare the cities. NO Abraham did not bargin with God. God already knew that Abraham would do what he did. God already knew that there was not even 5 or 10 righteous people in the two cities. So God's Will was done not Abraham's. Remember God knows the end from the beginning.This is scripture.
