Part 5 There are Laws For Prayer

James 4:1-3 KJV V1. “From Whence come wars and fighting among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?” V2 “ Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.” V3. “Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask a miss, that ye may consume it upon your own lust.” Lust, our own lust, and the lust of the world will stop your prayers from being answered. Christians who become self-righteous or disagree with a church a pastor or a group of people will often set out to prove they are right and do so to bring the spotlight to themselves, and not to God. We are seeing this more and more today; so many churches like organizations have started up today, because of a disagreement they are having. They are in a battle to prove that they are right and that the other person, church, or group is wrong. They have declared war on that person or group. I am not saying that the person or group is wrong by separating themselves from a church or group or even a person who may now have false teachings, but all too often the problem is we do it not to bring God back to the center stage, we put our selves in the spotlight. This will hinder your prayers from being answered.
