Or does God hear all your prayers and thoughts?

God hears all your prayers and thoughts. He wants us to have a personal relationship with Him. No interpreter, just us and Him.

There is a threefold sense of "special interpretaiton" in prayer.
First, the Bible relates that Jesus Christ is the mediator between God and man.
1 Timothy 2:5 For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus,
Second, the Holy Spirit has a part in our prayers too
Romans 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
Finally, our prayers are effective only when we are right with God
Isaiah 59:1 Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened, That it cannot save; Nor His ear heavy, That it cannot hear. 2 But your iniquities have separated you from your God; And your sins have hidden His face from you, So that He will not hear.
1 Peter 3:7 Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered.
James 5:16... The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.

There is no human being who has an interpretational or intercessory ability apart from Jesus Christ

The only thing we need to do is pray through Jesus. Jesus is THE ONLY mediator between God and man; 1 Timothy 2:5 ' For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.' We do not need an interpreter, nor an organisation, we can just pray. This is the reason Jesus gave his life for us, so that we could approach God with a clean conscience through the perpetual sacrifice of Jesus (Hebrews 10:12), no longer relying on priests and burnt offerings to make us acceptable in the eyes of God. There are organisations who tell people that they cannot interpret the Bible themselves, they lie and such lies are the means whereby such organisations control people.

for 1. you were only hearing what you wanted to hear. 2. Cancer is cured in many ways, i would guess that your grandparents weren't solely depending on your prayers to heal them and that they also underwent chemotherapy and such. 3. wtf were you talking about 4. your just using god as an emotional crutch in this scenario, giving people a way to hope for something doesn't make it true. 5. Dreams aren't real. Haven't you ever had a dream were you were giant or flying or any other absurd thing? Were the dreams true? To your last paragraph i must say you are completely intolerant even for a christian. You say that no matter what, if someone doesn't believe what you believe than they will go to hell. So let us say that i devoted my entire life to helping charities. I have brought happiness to millions of people. Now, if i were to die and simply because i did not believe in god or jesus i would go to hell? It makes no sense...

God hears everything, but He obligates Himself to hear the prayers as relayed to Him through the Holy Spirit to Christ.

Your question appears a tongue-in-cheek one. You have a freedom to believe in God or not believe in Him. The world has a place for all. Only difference is that a theist believes that every thing on this earth is His creation, whereas an atheist believes that He is not there and something else is the reason. What that something else is not known to him.

E-life of e-salvation is "through" Jesus --> Christ.
Furthermore reconciliation "unto God" is notably
through Jesus-->Christ -->"unto God"; not to J or C.
When reconciled, mediator & intercessor are not req'd.
Be ye reconciled --> unto God, by go on unto perfection;
And go on unto perfection involves "leave the principles".
POINT:
Repeating Law is Law Law.
His Grace is NOT Law Law.
The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

But make sure you keep that a secret, or else all the priests in the world will be out of a job!
