Unanswered prayer is not the result of God’s unwillingness to use His power, but because of hindrances we allow to overcome us. The Bible says His eyes look to and fro throughout the earth to show Himself strong in behalf of those whose hearts are perfect toward Him (2 Chronicles 16:9). 

So, is there anything that can block prayers?

1. Praying Amiss (James 4:3). That means praying with the wrong motivation and praying outside the will of God. You can find the will of God in His Word, so be sure your prayers line up with what He says.

Your desire to hear from God is a righteous one! God is talking to you all the time, and it is His will that you hear Him and feel confident in doing so. That’s why, in the New Testament, Jesus said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear,” 15 different times.

When Christians are new at hearing from God, there can often be uncertainty as to whether they are hearing from God, themselves or even the devil. But it is much simpler than you may think!

Wicca became a movement during the 1950s in England with the publishing of books by Gerald Gardner. Wicca is a difficult group to define because each group of people claiming to be Wiccans may in fact have different beliefs and may practice different rituals.

You can experience a 100% success rate in your prayer life. That’s right. 

The best part? The Bible tells us how!

Here are steps to prayer that bring results.

1. Base Your Prayers on God’s Word. (1 John 5:14-15) You can go boldly to the throne of grace when your prayers are lined up with what God has already said. There is a promise from God to you for every situation you face. Find the scriptures that match your situation, then pray accordingly. You will see results.

The exciting thing about the promise of hundredfold return is that anything that can be produced by the Word of God has the potential for a hundredfold return. You will find all the way through the Old Testament that people’s crops were multiplied a hundredfold (see Genesis 26:12). This is God’s principle of return on the covenant.

When you plant, there will be a hundredfold return coming in response: whether it be words, faith, money, etc. The whole kingdom of God operates according to this principle: seed planting and harvest!

Religious tradition says that healing has passed away. They aren’t exactly sure when it happened, but they seem certain of its demise.

When you start reading the Bible, however, it’s easy to see why tradition is mistaken. God said, “I am the LORD that healeth thee” (Exodus 15:26, KJV). He didn’t say, "I was the LORD who healed you," or, "I will be the LORD who heals you in heaven someday." He said, "I am your Healer—right now, today!" “I am the LORD, I change not” (Malachi 3:6, KJV).

It can be difficult to have a strong conviction about something as important as tithing, but it not be shared by your spouse. The enemy would like you to think you cannot have financial success because of your spouse’s objection to tithing. 

You don’t have to debate or fight or plead your case to evangelize. In fact, KCM’s Minister of Evangelism, Riley Stephenson, says that will actually hurt your cause. Instead, he recommends the following:

This may surprise you, but you don’t have to defend your belief in biblical prosperity. Jesus said, “But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands”(Mark 10:30, KJV). But He didn’t stop there. He went on to say, “with persecutions.”
