Sermon Tone Analysis

Why it seems our Prayers go unheard

Father, you have told us to be strong in the Lord and the Power of his might You have called us to bless Isreal and to preach repentance for the kingdom of heaven is at at hand.

We are here to acknowledge you! the most High God and take a stand against the spiritual weakness in the high places in the name of Jesus!

Reveal their hearts of those in our government in leadership positions across our nation expose any agenda that goes against your Holiness against your word.

May the principalities and powers that have endeavored to overtake this nation be restrained.

Cause them to cease and desist in their maneuvers against us.

Oh God we pour our hearts out to you today that you may have mercy on this Great Nation

Touch our hearts and minds that we would endure that we would keep your statutes that we would pursue righteousness and justice so that your name be glorified

Hide me far behind the cross may the hearts and minds be opened yo your word this morning amen

Garth Brooks sang a song

Sometimes I thank God for unanswered Prayers Remember when your Talking to the man upstairs That Just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he doesn't care Some of Gods greatest gifts are unanswered prayers.

While this song rings true in allot of ways in one it is wrong God answers every Prayer With , Yes, NO, Not right now!

What happens When God feels as though He doesn't give us what we think we need or want?

Gods Timing is not our own

Just because it feels as though he is not listening to you about your relationship, your job, your family, your financial situation does not mean that he wont It just means its not the right time

Joe from Church Example

Abraham and Sarah waiting on their Promise of a Son

example of How god loves other as much as He loves us.

example of How god loves other as much as He loves us.

No one likes waiting.

When we are in a doctor's waiting room, it seems like we're there forever.

It feels like a punishment, but we know it's not.

So it is with God's waiting room.

As we mature in the Lord, waiting becomes easier.

It's still difficult to wait, but the longer we know the Lord, the more we see his faithfulness in our lives and understand our waiting is for a reason.

Sometimes God uses the waiting to work on our, or someone else's, character.

God often chooses waiting to conform us into the image of his wonderful Son.

My Wife and I had gone through a very trying time we had suffered the fate of a failing business two in fact we had lost our Son in which we were so excited to meet.

We didn't understand all this.

We were faithful i mean we were in church we had stopped drinking we were tithing we were in prayer why were we going through this trial.

We had two sweet ladies com by the house from the Church Gi Gi and sunny Girl they loved on us prayed with us and We were expecting empathy.

Instead, her words surprised us, "I'm excited you have an opportunity to trust God."

Was she kidding?

she saw this as an opportunity?

We saw our situation as more of a curse.

Through the years and many more trials, I have come to understand what our friend meant.

One day we'll be in heaven, standing in the presence of almighty God in all his glory.

We will see the one who loved us so much that he suffered and died for us.

That will not be a time of faith for us.

Our time for faith is now.

This is the only time we get to exercise our faith muscles.

When Joseph was imprisoned for a crime he never committed, the Bible tells us, the Lord was with him ().

Joseph quietly waited for God's hand, without ranting and raving.

He didn't curse the day he was born.

He waited.

And God honored Joseph's good attitude, an attitude totally submitted to God.

Each step of Joseph's journey led him to the place where he could wait well.

2.Sometimes God says nothing.

There are times when we hear nothing.

We know that there is no partiality with God; he doesn't play favorites (

).

Yet, in the silence, we can almost hear the enemy of our souls say God has forgotten us; we don't matter.

At these times, we need to remember that God's ways are not our ways and his thoughts are higher than our thoughts ().

We trust, seeing nothing, hearing nothing.

We trust, seeing nothing, hearing nothing.

The more we learn about God, the more we see he is trustworthy.

Our faith can't grow unless we are relying on God for something bigger than us.

Instead we lean heavily on our own understanding, trusting we'll figure things out.

Author and preacher Charles Swindoll once said we look at our lives the wrong way.

We look at trials as the exception, but trials are the normal part of a Christian life.

says, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding."

Instead we lean heavily on our own understanding, trusting we'll figure things out.

So, what do we do when heaven is silent?

We can become still and remember God is still God.

We can praise him for who he is, almighty, all-knowing, all-powerful.

We can ponder what he has done for us in the past and thank him for what he is doing in our lives now, even though it is unseen to us.

We can thank him for what he is doing in or despite the situation.

God is not limited by our circumstances.

With God all things are Possible !

3. Sometimes God seems Silent because we have ran away from Him

Do we sin yes we do

do we sin purposely intentionally or willingly in the eyes of the Lord

If we say we love Him we shall keep His commandments

God is a Good God He loves you He cares for you Do we have a healthy fear of who can not only destroy the body but also the soul ?

Do we continue in Sin because its what we enjoy or do we rejoice in the things that bring Joy to the Eyes of the Father

There will be times you'll pray and God will immediately answer.

There will be times you will need to wait for the answer he'll graciously provide.

And then there will be those times when you hear nothing and can lean hard on God.

Each of those scenarios is God-chosen for you—chosen by a God who counts the hairs on your head, knows when a sparrow falls, and sings to us.

When we pray and heaven is silent, then we need to get silent too.

We need to be still and know that he is God, and thank him for the opportunity to trust him.

Look deep within our self see if there be any wicked way with in us so that WE may be honored by God once again.

Let us Pray : Let your self today put away all make a vow before the Lord that today is the day That I make it right with God I'm tiered of trying to control everything when it seems I cant control anything.

Lord I need you to free me from my own sin Lord Jesus I repent Forgive me where I have failed you give me the strength to overcome my failures my temptations Jesus I want a new start a new beginning I need to get right with you The bible says

Rom 10:

When we pray and heaven is silent, then we need to get silent too.

We need to be still and know that he is God, and thank him for the opportunity to trust him.
