"NINE IMPORTANT KEYS TO UNLOCKING ANSWERED PRAYER"
Answered prayer is one of the many reasons why we as Saint's of God love to serve the LORD JESUS. Because he taught his disciples to believe in the power of their words of faith in the demonstration of his power which he spoke towards the fig tree in Matt. 21:21-22 Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.  Philippians 4:19 But may God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
 
When your prayers are not answered, do this check list of these NINE powerful prayer keys to discover the problem in your prayer life. 
 
 
 FAITH ISSUE: 
 Key #1: LOVE ISSUE: In Galatians 5:6 we are taught that we must have love in our hearts inorder for our prayers to work because they work by love. Galatians 5:6 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith worketh by love.
 
You must have the love of God in your heart for your prayers to be effective and reach heaven. You must demonstrate your faith daily by not allowing others to cause you to disbelieve the word of God. Mark 11:22-26
 
KEY #2: MUSTARD SEED OF  FAITH: God has put within each of us a measure of faith. And he has a plan of salvation just for you and will perform his perfect will in your life through various test and trials to help you develop your faith and grow YOU into spiritual maturity in him. A mustard seed of faith is such a very small amount (it is a little bigger than this dot/period you see here (.), but according to the teachings of Jesus which reads as Matt. 17:20-21 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting. 
 
So, now you know that this is a lot of faith. Let God develop in you a mustard seed of faith. The Lord through Apostle Paul would also like you to know, to remain humble with this kind of faith. Romans 12:3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according to as God has dealt to every man the measure of faith. Let me encourage you, do not let the enemy get the advantage of you through high mindedness, keep your mind washed in the shed blood of King Jesus, always. Praise God. 
 
PRAYER ISSUE:
KEY #3: The scripture James 5:16 The effectual fervent prayers of a righteous man availeth much. Perhaps more time before God in prayer is required to receive the answer especially if there is a stronghold of darkness hindering the answer &/or deliverance from being manifested. 
 
KEY #4: There are numerous types of prayers listed in the Bible. You may need to do some research through the scriptures more to find the correct scripture to pray over the situation. Such as what Gods word has to say about healing sicknesses. For example: ISAIAH 53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and by his stripes we are healed. Both the OT and NT has a lot of scriptures regarding sickness and the way to be healed from sickness, applying the right scripture is very important.
 
KEY #5: When you know that you have done all that you know how to do concerning prayer and you still haven't gotten the answer. I recommend acquiring the help of a PRAYER PARTNER. I know this type of praying is very effective because it has worked for me.  Also, when the problem is a very difficult one or it is concerning life and death issues your PRAYER PARTNER should be the very first person you contact because there is more power in prayer when two agree according to Matt. 18:18-20.
 
SIN ISSUE:
 KEY # 6: OMISSION: Is the sin of neglecting to do that which ALMIGHTY GOD has said in HIS HOLY WRITTEN WORD for you to do and failing to do it due to lack of knowledge and understanding.
 
KEY # 7: COMMISSION: Is the sin of delegating your will and authority in this earth over to the works of the devil. You know to do what's right but you decide to do wrong anyway.
 
GIVING ISSUE:
KEY #8: God loves a generous giver who's heart is cheerful in giving. This scripture is what he is referring to: Luke 6:38 Give, and it shall be given unto you, good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bossom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.  
 
 KEY #9: We are required by God to give our tithes, and offerings and gifts to the church to help promote the gospel of King Jesus Christ in this earth. We are also, instructed to share in giving our time, talent, resources, gifts and other donations to help toward the work of the ministry of soul winning, and ministry of helps, for King Jesus Christ. Malachi 3:8-12. When we don't give according to the word of God our failure to give hinders the lives of others when we do not give when God says to give or when we are touched by the presence of the Holy Spirit to give. And this works both ways. When they fail to give to you your answers to prayer may be hindered. Seek to obey the written word of God, always.
