"Call unto Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know." - Jeremiah 33:3. 

Many people either don't believe in God, or become atheists, partly because of this question:
Why doesn't God answer some of my prayers? 
Answer: This is because of your heart. Before you ask this question you must ask yourself, am I pure? Have I sinned by mistake and need forgiveness? Or are my thoughts starting to make my light darken? Ask yourself these questions and their surely will be an answer. 
But why must I ask myself these questions? 
"So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart" - 2 Timothy 2:22 

  If we are not thinking good thoughts or have sinned by mistake or not, we have stained our pure white robe. We need to ask for forgiveness and make it new again.
So, how does God know we're pure?
Good question! God will know by your heart. Things you've done, said or prayed for. God knows if you're tricking Him or not. He even knows your evil desires! Your desires of showing people, that God cannot give you what you wanted. 

You said that pureness was part of the problem. What's the next bit? 
Whoops! Must have trailed off a bit there! The next bit is about asking yourself, is this what God wants me to ask for? Yes...
How do we know what God wants us to ask for?
God's Word (the Bible) is His will. But, He will give you knowledge to understand it. Some jeer, saying it's a bundle of confusion, when actually, they haven't read it with God's Guidance. God's Guidance is His Spirit. The Holy Spirit. Need some backup? " And the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord." - Isaiah 11:2

 The Spirit of the Lord is just another Name for the Holy Spirit. If we are not pure, the Devil can get us. If we ask for something against God's Will, we will receive no answer. Why? The reasons are all up there! Here are some more scriptures about the Lord being pure, and, because we are Christ-like (His example) we must be pure too! Here are  4 5 you can read in your own time:
1 John 3:1-3 
1 Peter 1:22 
Psalm 73:1 
Psalm 51:10 
Job 8:6

But what scripture is there to say that God looks at hearts? 
"But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” - 1 Samuel 16:7 AMP 

 So, keep yourself pure and away from sin! You may sin, but ask for forgiveness and try not to do that same mistake again!

The Power In The Name

"There is none like God...who rides through Heaven to your help, through the skies in His majesty" - Deuteronomy 33:26  Many of us expect an answer when we pray - immediately. We try to control God  thinking we know best, when God does. But if the Holy Spirit lives in us, patience live in us too, because it is of the Spirit (Gal  5:22 ). We have everything we ever need or ever will need - the only thing you have to do is activate it. The power in the name of Jesus, as soon as you activate it, is ready and available to use. Anyone can say Jesus, but they can't use its power because it's either:  A) not given to them or  B) they don't believe.  What can I do to activate the power?  To activate this power, you need faith and full relying on God. No matter what, even in temptation. You see, a Christian's life is one with more temptation. But that's good - because:  A) We overcome them all!  B) It's when we show and display J...

Humble Is Best!

Direct my footsteps according to your Word; let no sin rule over me. Psalm 119:133  |  NIV   We need to let God's Word rule our lives, directing our footsteps on our journey through life. God is our Director leading us-even of the path LOOKS right, it doesn't mean it IS right. God knows best so we shouldn't be no-it-alls. Humble your self!

Put on the armour! The Armour! The Armour! The Armour of God!

' Order the buckler and shield, and draw near to battle! Harness the horses, and mount up you horsemen! Stand forth with your helmets , polish the spears, put on the armour!  - Jeremiah 46: 3-4 This verse talk about a battle. Not a battle of the physical (the seen) but a battle of the spiritual (the unseen). We need to stand up in the faith! We must defend ourselves from the enemy! "Be clear-minded and alert. Your opponent, the devil, is prowling around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour." - 1 Peter 5:8. What do we need to do to shield us from the enemy? How do we stop "the roaring lion"  from attacking us? Here's the good news! God has given us an armour! The Armour of God (or AOG for short) in Ephesians 6:14-17 talks about this armour what we should wear, do and understand! " Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readine...
