*_The mystery of answered prayers_*
_James 5:16 Confess to one another therefore your faults (your slips, your false steps, your offenses, your sins) and pray [also] for one another, that you may be healed and restored [to a spiritual tone of mind and heart]. The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working]_
Reading this scripture the bible is talking of a prayer that does much or rather the mystery of answered prayers. Many think that God answers every prayer they give, but no, its not like that. That verse is saying heartfelt prayer, which means it's not God who will feel the heart it's ur heart and u will feel it, but when do u feel it? When you are praying that's when. If your prayers cannot move you (heartfelt) it can't move God. God can hear every prayer because the Bible says his ears are not deaf that he cannot hear you cry, but they didn't say that after he has heard he will answer it or not. For a prayer to be answered one of the mysteries is, it has to be a heartfelt prayer not an emotional prayer otherwise it may be heard but it may not be answered.
Another mystery of answered prayers is using the grace of someone's life. People of the old testament new this mystery. When they were praying they could say _the God of Abraham_ _the God of Elijah_. When Elisha wanted to cross the river he called upon the God of Elijah, the God who was capable of making a way on the waters. These are people who when you mention in prayer just because of the covenant they made with God, God is left with no choice but just to answer your prayers. The prayers may offered by mentioning someone or using the grace of others may be answered not because you are holy or righteous or it's heartfelt but because there is someone who made a covenant with God. There is a dimension of prayer u reach with consistency. Prayer is spiritual energy.
