IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL
TOPIC: WHY OUR PRAYERS NOT ANSWERED (PT ONE)
One of the reason i will talk on this morning is...
Unconfessed Sin
Unconfessed sin is probably the most common prayer killer.
Psalm 66:18 says, “If I regard wickedness in my heart, the Lord will not hear” (NASB).
When the Scripture talks about regarding wickedness, it’s referring to unconfessed sin. God is perfect and can’t abide sin in us. If we knowingly tolerate sin in our lives, it pushes God away from us. As a result, it makes our prayers powerless.
The good news is that when we confess sin, God forgives it, and it’s gone. The slate is clean and we are no longer held accountable.
Jeremiah 31:34 says, “For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more.”
Not only are we forgiven, but God chooses to truly forget our sins of the past. At that point our relationship is restored, and our prayers regain their power. Our past actions may still have consequences, but the sin itself is forgiven.
LET US PRAY
FATHER IN JESUS NAME, HELP US TO ALWAYS WORK IN YOUR PART AND GIVE US POWER OVER SIN IN JESUS NAME
