Transcript: Prayer can be powerful. It can move mountains, or it can move nothing. Hello, I’m Sam Rohrer, President of the American Pastors Network. The Pastors network places great emphasis on prayer- because God does. Unfortunately, too many people just go through the motions with no power, no answers, no results because their heart is unclean. Psalms 66:18 says, “If I harbor sin in my heart, the Lord will not hear me.” Unconfessed sin is fatal to powerful prayer. The Psalmist goes on to say that even if we sacrifice and cry out with great passion but have sin in our heart, not only will God not answer, but He won’t even listen! Living in disobedience to God’s commands, living in sin or harboring unconfessed sin in our hearts guarantees that our prayers won’t be answered. In these perilous days in our nation’s history when more people seem to be praying, shouldn’t we look into our hearts first? Can God answer your prayers or is your sin preventing Him from even hearing you?
