Ever feel like God isn't listening to your prayers? You're not alone.

When we look to Scripture, we see that God moves in response to His people's prayers. But if that is true, it can feel confusing when we don't see Him moving in response to ours.
So, it begs the question: Is there a specific way to approach prayer that compels God to answer?

Join us this week on Conversations with John and Lisa Bevere to explore the power in prayers of petition and intercession.

    My soul, wait in silence for God alone, for my expectation comes from Him!
  • Thank you for talking about healing and the fact that we don't choose the way He heals. My 56 year old daughter died April 5th of this year. Many people were praying for her to be healed and she believed she would be healed. Perhaps I misunderstood but I felt that people were thinkinh I didn't have enough faith. I know she is with the Lord and she is completely healed. One day we will be together forever

    Thanking our Heavenly Father for the ministry of John and Lisa Bevere. Exactly the encouragement I was needing for today.
  • @0122Tamara

  • @andreanaidoo25
    Psalm 103! Wow! You guys are just so amazing, thank you for sharing your life experiences, it’s such a great help to us who are newly weds! You really are our parents in the spirit! We love and appreciate y’all! ❤❤❤❤
  • Thank you John and Lisa. You are both such a blessing. Everything you both said resonated and is just so encouraging. Continue to fight the good fight of faith. God bless you both.
  • @christinas8745
    Just what I needed to hear tonight! I'm standing on Psalms 103!!!
  • I’m reading breaking intimidation right now! What a DIVINE ANSWER TO PRAYER! Learning about my place in Christ! As a born again believer for five years I can hardly believe the mercy of God and His keeping power over the last five years that I lived so capriciously and dangerously…thank you for being faithful to the call! So excited! Then I found Lisa on YouTube about a month ago and I was like wait that name Bevere sounds familiar…which led me to read the book tonight. Praise the Lord!

  • @patrickmba7638
    Amazing how certain " coincidemces " can happen. Just this morning, i prayed for God 's help with certain financial needs that i had,one of which was to be able to fix my car, which currently has several issues. Great faith boost hearing how He answered their prayers on a similar issue and how they just happened to share it today.
  • @candicecastro7
    I’m so grateful for your ministry! I’ve listened for years and always grow in my journey with GOD through it! This topic is so timely for me! Just earlier today I asked GOD to show me how to have faith again when I pray. Within the last three years I’ve experienced the loss of my parents & twin sister to illness. I have felt disappointed and discouraged. I asked GOD to show me how to pray again! Yall hit every point of discussion I had in my heart. This topic is Super Important…HUGE! Because prayer to GOD ALMIGHTY does change things! THANK YOU so much for talking about it!! GOD Bless you, your families, and ministry. 🙏🏼🤍

    Having a spiritual guide like John and Lisa is like drinking water it will help you refresh the mind that the evil spirit try keep us sweating for a long time, this Godly Bevere family sure living an obedient life on what God has call them to do on this Earth. We are Blessed by what John and Lisa’s sharing about the scriptures and the core meaning of what is written on each verses. This is the kind of ministry that this world needs. Thank you Beveres for obeying our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We love you so much. Thank you for teaching me and my wife my 3 boys and more generations to come.
  • Thanks for inspirational, helpful and powerful message. My our Heavenly Father bless you 🙏
  • @eeriksalke1925
    It was quite liberating for me to hear that John declared healing over His knee for an entire 9 months before receiving it. I really hadn't sufficiently considered the factor of time in healing before, especially extended periods of time.
  • @TheIbra9
    This is my life right now with my wife….hand to mouth. Thank you for your transparency
  • @1001brians
    Hey John & Lisa, I just want to say I thank you so much for this second part and the first part of the podcast on Prayer. I have developed a deep longing for God's voice and intervention as my days have been dragging on out, trying to build my career and your conversation has enlightened my spirit to see that I have been excluding God in my endeavours, unintentionally priding(is this even a word?) on my own strength. Such conviction this episode has shown me and I cannot be thankful for you too enough. God bless you two IMMENSELY for building my faith by leaps and looking forward to meeting yall whenever you guys happen to come to Kenya someday. Amen, Amen and Amen!
  • @alejandro6633
    ❤ great word's!! ❤ many blessings and protection upon you guys.
  • @freeborn7
    I liked how Lisa clarified that God can use people's bad choices, and consequences of those bad choices, to teach people things. We read in Ezekiel 24:13 (ESV) 13 On account of your unclean lewdness, because I would have cleansed you and you were not cleansed from your uncleanness, you shall not be cleansed anymore till I have satisfied my fury upon you. In other words, he's allowed their own sin to discipline them.
  • Prayer shouldn't be a religious act or fancy words but a pooring out of the heart and being a friend of CHRIST and talking to CHRIST as an individual from the heart and sometimes that means wrestling with CHRIST over an issue prayer request whatever like jacob at peniel 😯 but coming out the other side of your anxiety, trouble, confusion, etc and being set free 😄. This metaphor is used alot in our lives as a test of our faith. Its like coming to the end of ourselves so to speak and when where at our weakest CHRIST JESUS is our strength the anointing 🔥 that breaks burdens and destroys yokes. Religiosity wont replace a relationship with CHRIST JESUS 👍🤠🇦🇺
  • @thomastan7511
    God always answer prayer. If God did not answer your prayer, the answer is 'No' or 'Wait'.
