Hmmm I didn't say you said that ... I asked a question . As a christian aren't you supposed to witness to sinners ? If so your off to a bad start . Thanks alot .

If you need something from God get your heart right, ask him into your heart, worship him, serve him, love him. Then ask him what you will.
Would you move into a filthy house without cleaning it first?

No, Brandy, He is listening to everyone. How could He be the creator, and not listen to His childrens prayers, joys, woes and hopes? He is. He listens. He hears the saints and the sinners. The thing is, it's a different level He is on. He sees the long term effects of the answers to a prayer. Sometimes, it seems that prayers aren't answered. In reality, they are all answered, just sometimes the answer is "no", "later", "maybe" or "soon" and of course, "yes", depending on His wisdom to see the past, present and future and because He is the "one" who knew us, before we were in our mother's wombs.

Brandy, we can be "sinners and believers" in this day and time. The scripture refers to those who do not believe as "sinners". Now we know that we are all sinners. There are sinners who believe in The Lord, God Almighty, and sinners who do not believe in God or Jesus Christ, our Saviour.
The belief must be that there is a God and Jesus Christ is the Way to God.
Kenneth, you are misleading. There are people who worship the "sun", and many other things. Belief is faith that their is a God and The son of God is and we know our prayers are heard. Yeah, Satan believes he can lead us away from God, the way perverts lead children, with candy and promises that will never be fufilled.
Brandy's mother has faith = belief.

Check out Isaiah 1:18

"'Come now and let us reason together' says the Lord, 'though your sins are like scarlet, they sahll be as white as snow; though they are red like chrmson, they shall be as wool'"


God cleanses the house for us if we believe in HIM

ur stuck in ur own ways..i dont mean to sound mean...but ur trying to push things on to other people...i understand answering the question...but now its going to far...the girl got what she was looking for...and ur taking the bible out of context...and theres more then just John9:31 in the the bible...why would God send HIS ONLY SON to die for the sinners if He wasnt going to lisen to the prayers they have??JOHN 3:16....and God cleans us...Isaiah 1:18

Here we go ....

1 John 5:14 says, "If we ask anything according to His will, He hears us."

John 9:31 declares, “We know that God does not hear sinners, but those who worship Him and do His will, those He hears.” It has also been said that "the only prayer that God hears from a sinner is the prayer for salvation." As a result of this Scripture, some believe that God does not hear and/or will never answer the prayers of an unbeliever. In context, though, the Scripture is saying that God does not perform miracles through an unbeliever. The following Scriptures describe God hearing and answering the prayers of an unbeliever. 1 John 5:14-15 tells us that God answers prayers based on whether they are asked according to His will. This principle, perhaps, applies to unbelievers. If an unbeliever asks a prayer of God that is according to His will, nothing prevents God from answering such a prayer – according to His will.

Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.

and some more ....


In examining the following passages, in most of these cases prayer was involved. In one or two, God responded to the cry of the heart (it is not stated whether that cry was directed toward God). In some of these cases, the prayer seems to be combined with repentance. But in other cases, the prayer was simply for an earthly need or blessing, and God responded either out of compassion or in response to the genuine seeking or faith of the person. Here are some passages dealing with prayer by an unbeliever:

The people of Ninevah; Jonah 3:5-10; that Ninevah might be spared.

Hagar and Ishmael; Genesis 21:14-19; not so much a prayer as a cry of the heart concerning her son who was close to death.

Ahab; 1 Kings 21:17-29; esp. v. 27-29; Ahab fasts and mourns over Elijah's prophecy concerning his posterity. God responds by not bringing about the calamity in Ahab's time.

The woman from the Tyre and Sidon area; Mark 7:24-30; that Jesus would deliver her daughter from a demon.

Cornelius, the Roman centurion; Acts 10; the prayer request is not stated (Acts 10:30), but he is shown the way of salvation.

God does make promises that are applicable for all (saved and unsaved alike) such as Jeremiah 29:13: "And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart." This was the case for Cornelius in Acts 10:1-6. But there are many promises that, according to the context of the passages, are for Christians alone. Because Christians have received Christ, we are encouraged to come boldly unto the throne of grace to find help in time of need (Hebrews 4:14-16). We are told that when we ask for anything according to God's will, He hears and gives us what we ask for (1 John 5:14-15). There are many other promises for Christians concerning prayer as well (Matthew 21:22; John 14:13; John 15:7). So, yes, there are instances in which God does not answer the prayers of an unbeliever. At the same time, in His grace and mercy, God can intervene in the lives of unbelievers in response to their prayers.
