The Lord Will Not Hear
Posted by Bassem W in Human spirit :), Religion on June 8, 2009
Hi friend.
I want to share with you something that sure concerns you, sometimes hear the voice that’s saying. you are a sinner, you do this specific sin, how do you think that the Lord is going to hear your prayer,how is he going to turn his ear towards you, he has turned his face away from you, why would he hear you asking for forgiveness, or asking for peace, or asking for him to come closer,he hears no sinners.
King David wanted to tell us about this issue
in psalm 66
16 Come and hear, all you who fear God,
And I will declare what He has done for my soul.
17 I cried to Him with my mouth,
And He was extolled with my tongue.
18 If I regard iniquity in my heart,
The Lord will not hear.
19 But certainly God has heard me;
He has attended to the voice of my prayer.
20 Blessed be God,
Who has not turned away my prayer,
Nor His mercy from me!
—
those previous words are clear, if i regard iniquity in my heart . God will not hear me this is what we think but in the next verse 19 But certainly God has heard me; He has attended to the voice of my prayer.
he hears.what God told me is that it’s true that you regard iniquity in your heart. but my mercy is not turned away, and i will hear your prayer. God is not ok with me regarding iniquity in my heart.but if this voice telling me that this iniquity should keep God’s mercy away. this is not true, because if i listen to this voice what will happen is me leaving payer, and this is the exact thing satan wants , is me leaving my relationship , my connection and my company with God,and when i do so, i will get so so far away, but because God loves us,and because he is merciful, he doesn’t push us away,but have mercy and hear our prayers. it’s like he is openning his arms for us, he doesn’t want us to go away from him despite our iniquities.
please remember romans 5: 8 “ But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. ”
and i encourage you to start reading the book of romans and pray to God to show you his thoughts for you.
just one last thing, what a reaction king David had after God showed him mercy and heared his prayer ,it’s in verse
20: Blessed be God,
Who has not turned away my prayer,
Nor His mercy from me!
God bless you .
Divine Efficiency

From the book God Calling (www.twolisteners.org )
April 4 – Divine Efficiency
I am all-powerful and all-knowing and I have all your affairs in My Hands. Divine efficiency as well as Divine power is being brought to bear on them. All miracle-work is not the work of a moment as so often men imagine.
My servant Peter was not changed in a flash from a simple fisherman to a great leader and teacher, but through the very time of faithlessness — through the very time of denial — I was yet making him all that he should be. Impetuous spokesman as he always was, ready to lead the other disciples, Peter could never have been the after power he was, had he not learned his weakness. No man can save, unless he understands the sinner.
The Peter who was a mighty force for Me afterwards, who, more than all others, founded My church, was not even first the Peter who said, “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God,” but the Peter who denied Me. He who had tested My forgiveness in his moment of abject remorse, he could best speak of Me as the Savior.
The Kingdom of Heaven can only be preached by those who have learned to prize the authority of its Kingdom. A many-sided training My Apostles need. Oh! joy. Oh, rejoice. I love you. Not one test too much will I lay on you.
“That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory.” 1 Peter 11:7
I can’t be forgiven
Posted by Bassem W in Human spirit :), Religion on November 7, 2008
there was a time , i thought i can’t be forgiven , for the many sins i commit, i thought that God no longer wants me, and i will still be drowning in my sins, i thought that , i can’t be saved, my sins are going to be mine forever, i thought that Jesus doesn’t want me,
i heared a lot and read about God’s mercy, but something in me was telling, this is not for you, this is for the good people , the people who love God, Do you love God ?? haha , no you don’t , if you did , you wouldn’t have done those sins,
i am sure now, that those thoughts were from the devil, or from me, because of guilt or because i had no hope, but actually, Jesus didn’t say so. all of this were lies controling my head, but here’s the truth
in mathew 9
9As Jesus went on from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax collector’s booth. “Follow me,” he told him, and Matthew got up and followed him.
10While Jesus was having dinner at Matthew’s house, many tax collectors and “sinners” came and ate with him and his disciples. 11When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and ‘sinners’?”
12On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. 13But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”
– Jesus came for the sinners, Jesus died for a one like me , hwo is away from him , hwo isn’t righteous, who is not good , who is full of sins, Jesus came for me, he was crucified for me, He said it, ” for i have not come to call the righteous but the sinners”, jesus call is for YOU,
here’s God’s mercy : in psalms 145 :8 The LORD is gracious and full of compassion,
Slow to anger and great in mercy.
9 The LORD is good to all,
And His tender mercies are over all His works.
– read those words , believe them , pray that You believe God’s words
Jesus wants your salvation, that’s what Jesus desires , and still loves that you be saved,
if you think that you can’t be forgiven, you are wrong, Jesus died to clear your sins,
pray to Jesus, tell him i want your forgiveness i want your mercy i want your salvation, you are the only one who can clear my sins, you are the one who loves me, I am the one you came for.
pray to God, tell him give me faith, stick to him , stick to his church, pray and God will lead you,
and trust God, in psalms it says :
I love the LORD, for he heard my voice;
he heard my cry for mercy.
2 Because he turned his ear to me,
I will call on him as long as I live.
those words you can say them , those words are the truth, Just believe that Jesus is hearing you because he is hearing you.
and didn’t believe the lies that i was telling to my self
God bless you , and Jesus loves you, when he suffered all the pain ,when he died on the cross, he was telling you i love you, and whatever your sin is, Jesus can free you , he siad i came for the sinners, for the fallen ones, for the people living in darkness, and my light will shine on them, in matt 4
The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light,
And upon those who sat in the region and shadow of death
Light has dawned.”
believe jesus, and you will see the light
Jesus loves you.
