Do you regard iniquity in your heart? If so, God does not hear. It's not me saying so. That's what He says. I may not "know it all," but that much I do know, and clearly, you don't.

And yes, I do have "good luck" (but it is not really statistical with God). I get answers to every petition that I make on the basis of His Word. He hears me when I'm right with Him, and His answers are either "Yes," "No," "Maybe," or "You're not listening. Pay attention." But He always hears when my slate is clean (1 John 1:9). He is there, and He is not silent. I don't make too many demands. I ask for His Will to come to pass. When that happens, there is no question about the outcome.

The Devil also often answers, but pretty much I have been able to discern the difference, and not respond to His blandishments.

"For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world" (1 Jn. 2:16 AV).

If its these things you pray for, and get them, you can know it is not God who is giving them. A lot of people don't, and mis-attribute the source.

That's good to hear, finally.
