How do we talk to God?

Answered by BibleQ . April 3, 2012 - 6:46 am

We can talk to God by praying to him. The Bible says that Christians can talk to God because Jesus has brought us to him (Jesus is like a high priest who prepares us to approach God [Heb. 4:12-16]). Because Jesus enables us to approach God, the Bible says we talk to God “through Jesus” […]

How should a person pray when they are so confused and don’t know what to pray for?

Answered by BibleQ . December 26, 2011 - 11:20 am

Prayer can be a difficult thing. Firstly, we need to have a measure of faith in God. Hebrew 11:6 And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him. If we believe that God exists and […]

How many forms of prayer are there?

Answered by BibleQ . December 20, 2011 - 11:26 am

‘Forms of prayer’ are not a Scriptural concept. If we pray to God in the right spirit, he will hear our prayer. Psalm 34:17 When the righteous cry for help, the LORD hears and delivers them out of all their troubles. 1 Peter 3:12 For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and […]

Why does God sometimes seem not to hear prayer?

Answered by BibleQ . December 3, 2011 - 10:14 pm

You also say: “I have to start from somewhere. I am a Nigerian. The recession took its pound on my job, followed by a separation and a divorce in court. I also was involved in a terrible auto accident. It was so bad that you will see His grace in my life. I am begging […]

In 1 Kings 8, how was Soloman’s prayer heard by so large a crowd?

Answered by BibleQ . October 5, 2011 - 5:02 am

In 1 Kings 8:22 Solomon prays before “all the congregation of Israel”. If we were to take this phrase literally, we might imagine Solomon straining to be heard by hundreds of thousands of people. In fact, the composition of this congregation is carefully explained in v1: it was made up of the elders of Israel and […]

If God said two people were not meant to be together, can prayer and a change in how you live change his mind?

Answered by BibleQ . October 2, 2011 - 3:29 am

You may be approaching this issue from the wrong angle. If you sincerely believe that God has directed these two people not to be together, then why would you want to change his mind? Surely God knows what is best for these two people. It may be worth asking why you feel God is directing […]

How do the four temperaments affect a Christian life?

Answered by BibleQ . March 26, 2011 - 4:41 pm

The question: “What are your views on the use of the four temperament studies e.g. melancholoy, sanguine and their use on determining why a person behaves a certain way and how does this line up with God’s word and the use of theophostic prayer ministry.” Answer: It is a mistake to assume that the Bible […]

Will God forgive those who are not baptised if they ask him to?

Answered by BibleQ . February 6, 2011 - 10:03 pm 1

There is a series of events recorded in Acts 10 that will help to answer this question. In Acts 10 there is a man called Cornelius who, although he is described as ‘a devout man who feared God’ (v2), isn’t baptised. However, even though he isn’t baptised, God still hears his prayers: About the ninth […]

Do we have to pray in the closet?

Answered by BibleQ . May 20, 2010 - 1:39 am

This idea comes from King James Version of the Bible, which says: But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. Matthew 6:6 [KJV] However, Jesus is not talking […]

Should a man wear a hat during worship service, prayer, or in the Sanctuary?

Answered by BibleQ . April 6, 2010 - 7:59 pm 16

The only relevant passage is 1 Cor 11:4-7 containing some comments from Paul: Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head, but every wife who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, since it is the same as if her head were shaven. For if a wife […]
