Obeying God ---Before Praying to Him

We often say, “I’m praying for you”… but what actually gives prayer its power?In this episode, we examine a sobering truth from Scripture: God does not separate prayer from obedience. Drawing from passages like Proverbs 28:9, Psalm 66:18, 1 John 3:22, and John 7:17, this message explores how a refusal to hear God’s Word can quietly affect whether He hears us.This is not about technique or saying the right words—it’s about the condition of the heart. When obedience is set aside, prayer becomes uncertain. But when the heart returns to submission, prayer is restored to what it was meant to be: real communion with God.A direct and searching look at the link between hearing God… and being heard by Him.Submit questions and comments to www.ThoughtsofChrist.com
