One of the main problems affecting the lives of Christians today is the need to understand the Word of God in a more simplified way.
This has long been a problem for many that has led to newer versions of The Bible being written in a more modern context for easier explanation of the meaning behind the original text.
This influx of of new versions has the unfortunate effect of reducing the power and impact of the original text in some modern translations and some have entirely altered meanings in others.
Another problem facing The Church is that too many Christians are failing to read and know The Bible for themselves and instead they tend to rely on 'others' within The Church to interpret and make known God's Word, for them. This means that vulnerable Christians are being subjected to all kinds of issues as a result.
Thus, when they are overtaken by problems in their daily lives, these Christians often turn to the Pastor to resolve their problems instead of calling upon the name of Jesus and standing on the Word of God for themselves.
If you find that your prayers are not being answered then as a child of the Living God you need to do one of three things:
Put right any wrongdoing, repent and seek His forgiveness.
Is there someone in your life that you have not forgiven?
Find believers who will stand with you in your need as The Bible says where two or three are gathered together in Jesus Name He is in the midst when we truly believe in Him.
