Does God listen to Prayers that are NOT HIS Will?


Jesus said this to disciples when they asked Lord teach us how to pray
“This, then, is how you should pray:”‘Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,10 your kingdom come,
your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

11 Give us today our daily bread.12 And forgive us our debts,
    as we also have forgiven our debtors.13 And lead us not into temptation,[a]
    but deliver us from the evil one.[b]…….."
If we expect God to hear and answer our prayer we need to know God does not contradict His word, or his will, or his commands. So if His will is to be done on earth as it is in heaven. We have to pray His will NOT Man’s will.  I’m glad that pastor stepped down since he would not be praying to The Almighty God. Neither could he expect God to answer his prayers.  The God of creation, the God who made this world, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords watches over his word to perform it. God is NOT interested in answering prayers made to promote man’s imagination, laws, ideas or philosophies, He is God and does not change for majority, minority, or any special interest group, Americans, leaders, demigods etc.   HE IS THE ONLT TRUE GOD!
This is the Word of the Lord
God’s Wrath against Sinful Humanity
18 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19 since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them.20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.
24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie,and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done.29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31 they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. 32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.
This is the word of the Lord. All Christians who call them selves’ followers of Christ should be defending Godliness and the truth of God’s word, not looking to deny Christ. It has been prophesied and so it is to be expected, that in the last days many will lose their faith, many will fall away, and many will deny Him. just like Peter did before his crucifixion.
