The reason why so many prayers do not receive a positive response from God is that most people in the church are not part of God’s people and therefore ask as outsiders. Listening to sermons and singing about God and Jesus does not make someone part of His people. God’s people are Israel, whom He set apart with an everlasting covenant after approving Abraham. Any Gentile can join Israel and be blessed by God, as long as they follow the same laws the Lord gave to Israel. The Father sees the faith and courage of this Gentile, despite the difficulties. He pours out His love on them, unites them with Israel, and leads them to the Son for forgiveness and salvation. This is the plan of salvation that makes sense because it is true. | The Gentile who joins the Lord to serve Him, thus being His servant… and who holds fast to My covenant, I will also bring them to My holy mountain. (Isaiah 56:6-7)
