Why do you think the answer is NO? Was there a specific date you needed an answer by? If NOT, you need to be patient and have faith - the Lord works in mysterious ways and in his own time.

As for the LOA -- Unfortunately, I think you may have jinxed it - you have doubts (fear). For the LOA to work - you can NOT have any doubts or fears - you must have unwavering faith. "Believing in the outcome" is not the same as faith - you must know. You must feel it - as if you already received. You are constantly manifesting, consciously or not - whether you realize it or not - each and every second. It's almost like you're using the LOA against yourself; especially when you are doing so good and then start having doubts because you are suddenly impatient.

Hi Jaianniah

God didn't stop answering.

I think what happened is that before enough time was allowed to pass your nature of prayer changed from Oh GOD Please help me...to...God is not answering my prayer, why is that?.

What you may not realize is that you are still praying.

In fact let me list 3 of your prayers that are very well defined.

Prayer #1. "I am utterly stymied right now."
As long as you maintain this prayer, God will continue to allow you to experience whatever your definition of that expression is, in as much abundance as possible. GOD will help you explore your expression of "I am utterly stymied right now." in all it's possible expressions from your perspective as long as you keep this prayer within intense focus in the moment called RIGHT NOW.

Prayer #2. "I have asked God for an answer to a specific prayer, and it seems to me that He is saying, "No!"

This is a very well defined and well thought out prayer and you should be easily able to measure the success level of its outcome. If you find that what you asked for did not come to pass, then your prayer has been successful for that is the new and re-defined current version of your (previous) prayer. GOD is always working with you and through you to constantly express your abundance with the power of your consciousness to ask and receive.

The power is his and the expression of its abundance is yours.

Right now, for you, that abundance is being expressed in the form "I have asked God, and it seems to me that He is saying, "No!"

So this new expression of your abundance must now be fulfilled in whatever form in which you imagine that GOD is saying No to you.

I have taken two different parts of your prayer to represent the third prayer.

Prayer #3. "But yet, nothing is happening. + What do you think"

Now how would GOD express this experience that you are requesting in a physical manner so that you can actually experience the living expression of "Nothing is happening, what do you think?"

This is a little tricky because not only must GOD help you experience your idea of "nothing is happening" in a physical form, but on top of that you have to also find the right people to respond to your "What do you think?" in a manner that their stories and experiences would also reflect the same "nothing happening" to them as well in sympathetic harmony to your expression of abundance.

Now people may share other stories of success, but they would not be consistent with your prayer request of "nothing is happening" so they would not be very helpful in trying to experience "nothing is happening".

Now, not every prayer can be answered or "manifested" with God's power working through your consciousness within the "ask & receive" mechanism.

Some things are just not possible.

You already possess to ability to know where the obvious line of possibility and impossibility has been crossed.

If you are asking for the goose that lays the golden egg, you know that you have passed that line.

However, if you are asking for something that you know deep within yourself as being within the realm of possibility, you will know the difference because you will be afraid of it and you will feel the beads of sweat pouring down as you pray for it.

We are talking about things like asking to be healed from a physical or medical condition where others have been successfully cured or recovered from such a condition, with or without the help of prayer.

In other words you are asking for something that other people have, and you are just as qualified to have the same experience, however chance and opportunity has not favored you yet.

When your prayer falls within such realm of availability you should not at any point give up and re-define that prayer into a new expression of the un-availability of that experience. Because, the moment you make the switch from "Thank you GOD for blessing me with such abundance" to "Why does GOD not bless me with the same abundance as others?" The DEFINITION OF YOUR ABUNDANCE changes from HAVING SOMETHING to NOT HAVING SOMETHING, all the while still being an expression of GOD's abundance.

When you say "Why does GOD not bless me so?" in that moment God's power flowing through you doesn't change one bit, only the expression of it changes from an abundance of "Thank you for your blessing" to and abundance of "Why am I not blessed?"

And you will be abundantly blessed with all the different ways in which you could physically participate in the experience of "Why am I not blessed?"

You never lost God's power that is flowing through you.

It is being expressed within every spoken word that you speak.

As you speak energy is moved to try and express that spoken word in physical form in the NOW moment.

So speak what you want to experience and believe what you want to experience.

If you speak of that you do not want to experience, then you experience that which you do not want.

For this is the nature of GOD's power that is constantly flowing through you with every thought you think, every belief you embrace, and every word you speak as an expression of yourself.

God answers prayer one of three ways:

1. Yes
2. Not yet
3. I have something better in mind.

If it seems as if you haven't gotten an answer to your prayer yet, perhaps the answer is 2 or 3.

I believe the more we believe God says no the harder it is to have faith that he "may" say yes.

God saying no runs contrary to what Isaiah said "My prayer shall not return void." How can we keep faith in God if he probably will say no anyway so then what becomes of the point of faith? It has no influence if God says no, he could say I don't care how much faith you have I am not going to answer this prayer. That runs contrary to Jesus saying "If we have faith as small as a mustard seed we may tell a mountain to be removed and it will be." He didn't say "and it will be IF God says yes."

Believing God would say no is like praying with faith then saying, "I hope God says yes." That means you are worried God might say NO and if you are worried God might say NO then where is your faith that your prayer will be answered?

Source/God always says YES it's only us that get in the way. Just believe you HAVE recieved by finding the feeling of the prayer answered.

i do not mean to offend, (I am not religious), but you didnt give away a single hint about what you are trying to attract! Is it a person, or a certain job, money, maybe an illness you would like to dissolve? you know, you can ask for things in the heat of the moment but in a certain amount of time, you could say 'well thank god, that didnt occur!' I have a tattoo on my hip, it reads "If you see it in your mind, you're going to hold it in your hand". It's there to remind me to have faith. If you truly believe, what makes you think it is not on its way, maybe you are just not ready to recieve what you have asked for, if its a person maybe your not ready for the one, and if you are doubting yourself, maybe there is some doubt on what you are getting? Of course, only you can know if what you are asking for is right. God and L.O.A dont go hand in hand, I know as I said, I am not religious but it still works for me. However this is your domain, however you ask, I hope it is delivered. xxx

Hello Jai, god never says yes or no or anything ... we have free choice to use the life force within us as we wish ... if we have the impression that god is directing our lives either by yes, no or neither, it remains our impression ... it is our doing and thinking that creates our lives ... the law of attraction is always operating , cause and effect

peace

I just want to say one thing about God. It is my belief that God is NOT some outside entity that grants or denies my wishes like some kind of magic genie. If God created you, then you are also part of God. I relate to God like a molecule (which is a tiny contained Universe)....in the body of an Ocean. The ocean may or may not be unlimited, but from my perspective, it sure seems like it :) A molecule of water has the same qualities as an Ocean. Thus---> I still have the same powers as God, just on a "smaller" scale. The smaller scale is whatever physical limitations we agreed upon when we incarnated here on earth. It is my belief that we are co-creators with God. But, I believe that the only things I cannot create are those "things" that fall into the realm of "agreed upon limitations" (laws of nature, etc.). God, in It's (Our) infinite intelligence, created limitation here on this physical realm in order for us (Us=God) to have certain types of experiences.

I don't believe God says you can have this and not that, I think it is you who says you can have this and not that. You are comprised of a physical being and mind.....which is tethered to your higher self - your non physical being and mind. This higher self is jacked right into God - The Source. Because this higher self is jacked into God, we can get information, power, energy, ideas and anything else we need from our Source. The Source (You) can never deny You. You are always plugged in. Our higher mind does intervene I'm sure for various reasons. This may feel like a "No from God". I think it is more like a "No from Yourself". ~ss

Hi Jai, Your wish is Gods wish and Gods wish is your wish so God never says no you only say no to yourself. Why? In your moment of frustration and sadness you are not listening (picking up) on what God (your source) has to say. You are preventing your own intuition from knowing what to do to get what you need or want which is the answer to your prayers.

Get out of your own way for a while and simply be and you will intuit the answer to your prayer which is allways already there but you have to bring it fourth into your consciousness. Wish you peace and answered prayers.

of course God is the alpha and the omega is the universe has a balence and harmony. everything happens when it is the time for it to happen jai.

But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart."

Luke 16:15 He said to them, "You are the ones who justify yourselves in the eyes of men, but God knows your hearts. What is highly valued among men is detestable in God's sight.

John 8:15 You judge by human standards; I pass judgment on no one.

1 Samuel 2:3 "Do not keep talking so proudly or let your mouth speak such arrogance, for the LORD is a God who knows, and by him deeds are weighed.

1 Kings 8:39 then hear from heaven, your dwelling place. Forgive and act; deal with each man according to all he does, since you know his heart (for you alone know the hearts of all men),

1 Chronicles 28:9 "And you, my son Solomon, acknowledge the God of your father, and serve him with wholehearted devotion and with a willing mind, for the LORD searches every heart and understands every motive behind the thoughts. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will reject you forever.

2 Chronicles 6:30 then hear from heaven, your dwelling place. Forgive, and deal with each man according to all he does, since you know his heart (for you alone know the hearts of men),

Proverbs 16:2 All a man's ways seem innocent to him, but motives are weighed by the LORD.

Proverbs 24:12 If you say, "But we knew nothing about this," does not he who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not he who guards your life know it? Will he not repay each person according to what he has done?

Jeremiah 11:20 But, O LORD Almighty, you who judge righteously and test the heart and mind, let me see your vengeance upon them, for to you I have committed my cause. "Therefore this is what the LORD says about the men of Anathoth who are seeking your life and saying, 'Do not prophesy in the name of the LORD or you will die by our hands'-- therefore this is what the LORD Almighty says: 'I will punish them. Their young men will die by the sword, their sons and daughters by famine. Not even a remnant will be left to them, because I will bring disaster on the men of Anathoth in the year of their punishment.'"

20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is [the book] of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

It is now proven that your intention shapes reality. We can summon all kinds of things, however, you have internal struggles that will fight you, because they are you, and you don't want to erase the old you completely, so there is an ounce of doubt. You are fighting against yourself. This is natural. Accept your new self, and the old struggles will go away eventually.

Its a video by Judith Orloff author of Emotional Freedom; and Positive Energy.

I see God as the energy of imagination that images. God must be an electrical being of some sort that thinks/imagines and just like a holodeck OUT POPS an IMAGE. Our souls are some of these images. These souls imagine themselves and then OUT POPS ONE OF US just like a holodeck. We imagine and then OUT POPS OUR IMAGES depending on how intense the thoughts leading to those images are/were. Images ride on energy waves. Tighten up the waves and the image pops out faster because of the stronger intensity. I want this. v v v v OR IWANTTHIS VVVVVVVV VVVVVV v v v v v which set of waves would appear faster? Remember there are images embedded within these waves.
