God is Holy, no sin and no sinners can come into His presence. Many people pray and they say they feel as though their prayers are not answered. They are praying against the ceiling. It is because they have not repented. If you have SIN in your life and SIN in your heart, God does not answer your prayer. You cannot come into the presence of God with your package full of sin. He will not listen to you, you will not come close to Him. You only come into the presence of a Holy God if you REPENT FIRST. You come before JESUS on your KNEES, you HUMBLE yourself, you REPENT, you come with a REPENTANT HEART, with REGRET and REMORSE and SORROW over your sins, you come in DESPERATION and you CRY out to HIM or else He will not answer your prayer. Without holiness no man shall see God. If you have the slightest sin in your life, God does not answer your prayer because SIN SEPARATES us from God. If you sin, you break your relationship with Jesus. If you sin you GRIEVE THE HOLY SPIRIT. God does not have communion with sinners. God gives His Holy Spirit to dwell in those who repent of sin and live holy but if they sin and they don’t live holy, the Holy Spirit leaves them. God does not share space with the devil or with sin. You might be born again but if you go back to willful sin the Spirit of God leaves you and you are separated from God until you REPENT with absolute REMORSE. Some people think that they can say: “Lord I am sorry” every night. You are a LIAR, you are not sorry. God knows our hearts. You have no relationship with Jesus. You are in danger of HELLFIRE. You can only come in the presence of God if you are pure and holy. You can only walk with God, if you walk in UTTER HOLINESS and OBEDIENCE. That is why MOST BELIEVERS have NO RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD. They are REPROBATES. Are you walking with God? Are you walking in utter holiness? Without holiness no man shall see God. May Jesus bless you.

Why your prayers are not answered
Believers often wonder why their prayers are not answered, when even Jesus said as I read from John 15:7“If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ASK WHATEVER YOU WISH, AND IT WILL BE DONE FOR YOU. “ why is it then that our prayers are not answered? There is a CONDITION, Jesus said:”If YOU ABIDE IN ME and My words abide in you.” If the words of Jesus abide in us, THEN WE CAN ASK AND WE WILL RECEIVE.
I read further verse 8“My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be My disciples.9“Just as the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you; abide in My love. 10“If you KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS, you will abide in My love; just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love. 11“These things I have spoken to you so that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full.” If the words of Jesus are not ALIVE in us then our prayers will not be answered. Many believers disregard the words of Jesus (as also written in the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John). They ignore Jesus. They say they believe in Him for salvation but they DISOBEY Him. If we disregard Him, He disregards us and that is why our prayers are not answered. He wants to answer our prayers. He wants us to have joy in our relationship with Him. He wants to give us all things freely BUT we need to abide in His words, we need to LOVE HIM. If we do not OBEY Him then we do not love Him. If we want Him for the sake of the benefits then we are selfish, then we don't love Him. We must love Jesus more than anything and we must OBEY Him. If we disregard Him and live in unrighteousness He will not answer our prayers!
God does not answer the prayers of sinners, of people who refuse to repent. We read in Isaiah 59:1 “Behold, the LORD’S hand is not so short that it cannot save; nor is His ear so dull that it cannot hear. 2But YOUR INIQUITIES HAVE MADE A SEPARATION BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR GOD, and your sins have hidden His face from you so that He does not hear.” That is the problem!
If you are living in sin, if you are living in unrighteousness, God does not hear your prayer. YOU ARE PRAYING IN VAIN! First repent, first turn away from your sin and then call on God. First OBEY Jesus and then He will answer your prayer, and He will answer EVERY PRAYER. If we do not abide IN Christ, IN HIS WILL, if we do not truly love Him and obey Him, we have nothing to do with Him and HE WILL NOT ANSWER OUR PRAYERS. We must draw closer to Him and He will draw closer to us. We prove our love for Him, through our obedience to Him.
If you want your prayers answered, draw closer to Jesus. Get rid of your sins. Go clean out your house. Go get rid of everything that is more important to you than Jesus because it is either His way or it is NO WAY. Jesus alone is the WAY and the TRUTH and the LIFE, there is no other. There is NO PEACE, NO FULFILLMENT NO JOY without Jesus.
Jesus Christ is ALL that you need. Abide in Him.
May Jesus bless you.
