James 5: 16b
The effectual, fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
This week we will address the controversial questions, "Is prayer always successful? Does prayer fail?
Most people do not like to look at these questions, because there are a variety of answers which could lead to arguments and broken relationships.
Stop here for a moment and answer them for yourself, what do you think?.......
In the next few days, we will look at the Scripture about the listening and responding of GOD to prayer. There are nine RED ALERTS for us to consider when we pray. These RED ALERTS will guide us into the place of "effectual and fervent prayer of the righteous man."
Righteousness means to be "rightly related to GOD", but there are ways in which we can place our self in a wrong relationship with GOD, thus making our prayers ineffectual and, no matter how fervent, a failure. Only YOU can cause prayer to fail. Notice that I didn't say that GOD fails to answer. In these Red Alerts, we will see that there are nine ways, according to the Scripture, in which GOD does not hear the prayers, therefore, He can not answer them.
HANG ON TO YOUR SEAT BELT; THIS WEEK WILL BE VERY ENLIGHTENING.
