Part 7 There are Laws for Prayer

God may not answer our prayer instantly, and his timing is not our timing. His ways are not our ways. When you ask in faith your faith better be as strong or stronger tomorrow, or next week, or next year, as it was the day you asked God for something. We often say one day that God will answer, and then the next hour, or the next day we will say I don’t know if he will answer. This kind of light switch faith will stop your prayers as James stated in verse 7. “For let not that man think that he shall receive anything of the Lord.” Either we believe that God will answer our prayers, or we don’t believe God will answer our prayers. People who base their faith on feelings will fall because faith is not a feeling. Faith is knowing. Remember God is not our personal Genie, He is God, He is our heavenly Father, he’s our creator, and for us to believe that God is our personal genie is foolishness on our part. He is not someone you keep in a bottle and on a shelf or on the coffee table, and we bring him out when we need something. He is to live in our hearts, and we are the ones to be subjected unto him and not him unto us. Wavering Faith will stop all prayers from being answered.
