WHY OUR PRAYERS GO UNANSWERED

Isaiah 59:1-9
Psalm 34:11-22
"Keep thy tongue from evil…"
WHY OUR PRAYERS GO UNANSWERED
James said, "The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much" (James 5:16). Conversely, Isaiah said, "But your iniquities have separated between you and your God ... that he will not hear" (Isa 59:2). Is there anything in your life that short circuits the line of communication between you and the Lord?
The catalogue of evil deeds the prophet published before a rebellious people reads like Paul’s arraignment against a guilty mankind before God’s Tribunal, concluding with that final sentence, "There is no fear of God before their eyes" (Rom 3:10-18).
The wicked plots conceived and carried out by these desperadoes of the Jews were likened to the hatching of cockatrice’ eggs and the weaving of spider’s web. Those who ate these snake eggs, who succumbed to their nefarious schemings, ended in death. Take the case of wicked king Ahaz. His plan of bribing the Assyrian king against the northern kingdom of Israel backfired. The Assyrians who brought temporary relief to Jerusalem by invading Samaria suddenly overflowed to the gates of the Holy City. This also was vividly illustrated by Isaiah in metaphor, "that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper" (Isa 59:5).
Spiders’ webs, that are cunningly woven to catch flies, portray the lies uttered by the unscrupulous to snare the unwary. But these who prey on others are caught under the searchlight of truth. When wicked men who are likened to snakes and spiders rule, judgment and justice are thrown to the winds. Instead of the light of truth that should be shining bright from the City of Truth (Zech 8:3), their wicked reign brought a pall of darkness over the whole nation. God shall destroy every holy institution that has turned to wickedness and falsehood. Yea, even the end-time Ecumenical church of Revelation 17. Why do our prayers go unanswered?
THOUGHT: God is still on the Throne, whatever wicked men do.
PRAYER: (Use Isaiah 56:6.)
