subject: Has Your Prayer Been Answered And You Didn't Know? [print this page] Has Your Prayer Been Answered And You Didn't Know?
Are you a Christian that is still waiting on their blessing?You pray,fast,and pray some more each day and it seems as though God is not listening.Well I have a questions for you.Could it be that God has already answered your prayer and you didn't receive it?Sometimes in life we can get in our own way of receiving our blessing.We continue to ask God why is he not answering our prayer.The fact of the matter is,he has already answered us and we won't receive the answer.Our problem is we need to learn how to recognize the answer so we can receive it.
How many of you remember the story in the Book of Acts when Peter was in jail waiting to be executed and the church was in prayer across town praying for his deliverance?I can imagine that this was not just some normal praying going on but some Holy Ghost praying.When you read the story you will see that God answered their prayer while they were still in the midst of praying,but watch what happens!Peter knocked on the door and when the servant looked out and saw who it was she got so excited that she didn't even bother opening the door.Instead she went and told the praying church that Peter(the answer) was at the door.Their response to her was that she was crazy and just seeing things because Peter was in jail.Finally when they did come to the door and saw it really was Peter,they were shocked!It was as though they were not expecting God to answer their prayer.
If you are praying for something and want God to move on your behalf you have to be willing to receive the blessing.Don't just let your blessing continue to stand at the door knocking.In order to receive the answer you must open the door.I encourage you today that if you are in prayer for whatever the reason,pray expecting God is listening and will no doubt answer.
