"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
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!
