Please ask the Holy Spirit verse Matthew 18:19-20. He will reveal to you the deeper meaning of this verse. You cannot just use this demanding God "sort of" with this verse that he must or will answer your prayer. You cannot take it with you own understanding reading it like reading a regular sentence. We must examine ourselves why we are in a situation(s). Pray in your closet (not physical closet), just between you and God the Father. Listen to the Holy Spirit speaking to you if He is in you.
