WHY GOD DOES NOT ANSWER SOME PRAYERS

Ezekiel 20:1-3

Pastor Rick Jackson

How often when men do not get their prayers answered they blame God. More often than not it is men’s fault.


1. MAY HAVE CROSSED ONE OF GOD’S DEADLINES [Ezekiel 20:1-3, 31]

Genesis 6:3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man,


2. PRAYING CONTRARY TO GOD’S WORD AND/OR PURPOSE [Ex. 33:17-23]


3. REGARD INIQUITY IN OUR HEART [Num. 20:7-12, Dt. 3:23-27]

Psalm 66:18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:


4. AN UNFORGIVING SPIRIT [Mk. 11:25-26]


5. FOR GOD’S GLORY AND OUR GOOD [II Cor. 12:1-9]

John 9:3 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
John 11:4 When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.


6. UNBELIEF OR IMPATIENCE [Hebrews 11:6]

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.

7. WRONG MOTIVES [James 4:1-3]
