Why won't God hear me?

“The Lord is more pleased when we do what is right and just than when we offer him sacrifices.”
Proverbs 21:3 NLT
http://bible.com/116/pro.21.3.nlt 

Doing what is right. I'm sorry to say, but we cannot do what is right as humans. We try, get enticed, and go back again to our sin. But, we don't have to try anymore. The Holy Spirit helps us to do what is right. But it is you who decides whether or not to listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit. Maybe you've been complaining about God not hearing you, how he doesn't listen. Well, there is no direct way to talk too God, and if there was one, it'd be very complicated. Let me explain about this hearing thing in this story: 
There is a man and his wife living in the same house. The wife is a bit deaf. The husband has tried many times to try and get her to hear properly, but can't. He then goes to the doctor. The doctor says, stand 30-40 inches away from her and call her name. The man did so, and called her, 'Mary!'. No reply. This time he moved a bit closer, and shouted her name again. 'Mary!'. Nothing. This time the man walked up to her side and said, 'Mary,'.


Sometimes we are like the woman in that story. A bit deaf, so we can't hear the voice of God properly. We need to focus, concentrate and listen for His voice. God can speak to you through prayer, dreams, other people and lots more. Try listening for his voice, today.

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!

Key = Blue = Scripture  Red = Answers to questions  Green = Verses to read in your spare time. Black = Normal post Bold = Question  "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 sta...

Christ Died For Me! Romans 5:8

"But God shows His love for us on that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us" - Romans 5:8 Sin. God. Not friends. God tells us to love one another, but we only have one enemy. Satan. The person who wants to wipe out mankind forever. One of his main servants is Sin. Something that cannot get is close to God. But how does he bait us in? How? Worldly pleasures. Money, Fame, Huge businesses, Children and everything you could ever wish for. Satan shall give you these things but they shall not last long. Only things from Jesus last eternal, if we follow Him. SEE Joel 2:32 Jesus paid a big price to make us clean and pure. He died. It was only a heavenly body that could rescue us. Why not the Angels? You may ask. You see, they needed to be in the form of a human, which could not be possible before Jesus died. So God sent his Son. He gave up his pride and joy. His most beloved son. SEE John 3:16. We do not have to pay that huge debt. We would have to DIE if Jesus had not d...
