God Answers Our Prayer

Let me be clear, God answers every Christian's prayer. God is never indifferent to any petition of His child, even the least of his children. But of necessity many of the answers to the things we want may be no. And for that we should be profoundly grateful.

If we could remember the shortsightedness and folly of many of our prayers we should praise God for His refusal to grant foolish petitions.

And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. Matthew 21:22 KJV
If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? Matthew 7:11 KJV

God Is Abundantly Able Part 5

Let’s look at Elijah’s (and God’s) triumph on Mount Carmel before all Israel. Throughout the long day the air had been filled with the voices of the prophets and priests of Baal. Hundreds of them praying in unison to a false god and nothing was forthcoming.

Then about the time of the evening sacrifice, Elijah comes forward in simple reverence to God. He sets the altar in order, prepares an almost impossible to be consumed sacrifice and voices a simple yet profound prayer to Jehovah.

The result is electrifying! God answers by fire, and His testimony is preserved for men of all ages to see. There was no doubt about His answer that day.

The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple. – Psalm 19:7 KJV
