He doesn't love you.

Depends on how you're calling him and how the conversation goes. First off, when you call are you begging him for something that immature and selfish rather than geniune and attainable? Second, is the conversation one sided and dominating where you're doing all the talking? Third, are you taking the time to listen to what his answer might be?
Think about how you'd like it if someone called you over the phone and did all the negative examples I stated above? You'd probably get annoyed. Yeah, Jesus loves everyone and our shortcomings; however, we have to make sure that we're speaking to him the right way before we start blaming him for not answering us the way WE want him to answer.
How do you do it? Well, my advice is to make sure that your intent is geniune. James 5:16 specifically speaks on the "ferverent prayers of a righteous man availeth much." So, if you're not humble, then forget any intent on an answer. If you read all throughout the book of Psalms, you'll read over and over again about David and his prayers unto God. Hey, if you had arrows flyin' over you and people coming after your head, I can guarantee your prayers to God to protect you is very geniune!
Second, get quiet. Hard to do but it is true. If you notice with Jesus in the New Testament, he's always finds a place to be quiet as he goes before the Father. Sure, it probably was easy for him since there wasn't cell phones, Blackberrys, children to raise, jobs to go to or etc. Still, he found time and a place to get quiet and pray.
Third, you're gonna have to listen. Sometimes, he's not gonna talk to you right away, but thank him anyways for the answer. If he knows that you're willing to listen, he might surprise you with something out of the blue and speak to through a sign, a phrase someone will say, or in your heart. You never know. Have faith (which is a "can of worms" there) that he'll answer you in his time, not yours.
Hopefully, that's some help. You really need to seek wisdom and guidence on this subject to help you. There are many books and teachers (pastors, ministers, etc) that speak on it. Remember, "Blessed is the man who finds wisdom, the man who gains understanding (Proverbs 3:13)." So, I commend you for taking the first step. Now, continue on with the next and you'll be set!
Sincerely,
Ava

It's because that's an old message and He's really right at your front door so get off the phone and let Him in!
Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me. Revelation 3:20

Hello Lester Green.. :)
The only way Jesus can't (not won't) is because you are dialing the wrong number.. :(
For Jesus to answer you, you must have a sincere heart and want Him to pick up the phone..when you do..He will answer.. :)
In Jesus Most Precious Name..
With Love..In Christ..

This is so ridiculous, but it's funny. What kind of question is this? Hey, if you can't get Jesus at home, try Mainworry's place, then you'll get twice the advice in one phone call.

Jesus never has an answering machine.he will always listen to u but he will not come to ur every wim.u also have to have him in ur heart for him to speak to u spiritual if u do not already.and ask for forgiveness admit that u r a sinner and believe that he is the one true God.that is how u get saved

I think that you don't really belive in Jesus because this question look like a joke. If you really believe in Jesus, you have to show him that you can handle what he send you and you give him the prove that you believe that he will answer your prayer back.

maybe he keeps forgetting to dial 9 to get an outside line. Or maybe he does not have long distance because vonage don't reach that far.
Could be that he is busy answering questions here at Yahoo.
I have his cell number.

Okay first of all i think you are just trying to be weird but i am gonna answer your question anyway.
Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. Joshua 1:9
In order to hear God you must first let him come into your life. Maybe he is talking. Maybe you aren't listening.

Do you love Him?
Maybe He keeps getting YOUR answering machine..."leave your name and I will call when I'm ready to be serious."
