Because Jesus died in our place on the cross we have off-loaded our sin and have instead been given the righteousness of Christ. We stand before God spotless in His eyes, adopted sons and co-heirs with Jesus to God’s kingdom. The angels don’t have that privilege. The Bible tells us we will judge angels in heaven. We will be royalty in heaven and therefore when we pray we have God’s ear.
1 Peter 3:12 – For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and His ears are open to their prayers.
Isaiah 59:1 – Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; nor His ear heavy, that it cannot hear.
Psalm 94:9 – He who planted the ear, shall He not hear? He who formed the eye, shall He not see?
God tells us to be persistent in what we pray for and to wait upon the Lord for an answer which will, in most cases, be much slower than we would like. God always answers if we know what to look for and how to listen for His voice. God has perfect knowledge so His answer to our prayers is never wrong. Remember, God loves us dearly and if God says no He’s looking out for our best interest. We can talk to the Creator of the universe anytime we want. I suggest we pray at least five times a day, every morning, every night and before each meal. In a perfect world we should be talking to God all day long about everything. God is always interested in anything we have to say. We only use 10% of our brains and I’ll bet we only pray 10% as much as we should, if that much. We have a lot to learn about our awesome God!
