Bible Question: What should a person do when you want the answer to a request, from God to come at a particular time? You already have faith, that is believe that it is done. Is it possible to determine the time for the manifestation of it? |
Bible Answer: Hi, Aba, along with the responses that EdB and Angel have given, I would say that it is important to wait patiently for God to answer. "Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass." Psalm 37:7 Also, what we ask for must be in the will of God (I'm not saying that you're asking for something outside of God's will). "And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:" 1 John 5:14 Remember that the promises that God has for us already exists. We have to be prepared to receive them. Check out the children of Israel, they were promised the land flowing with milk and honey, but they could not receive that promise in their current condition. That's why they were in the wilderness for forty years - for preparation. So, be encouraged that whatever you've asked of God, He's preparing you to receive it. While you're waiting, ask God to examine you, to see if you're possessing something (spiritually or naturally) that may be hindering your blessing. Do not doubt! Stand, steadfastly, on the Word of God. "For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord." James 1:6b-7 Finally, thank Him because by faith, you know it's done. If doubt comes to mind, thank Him. If you get weary while waiting on your answer, thank Him, in all things, give thanks. This will keep you in faith and from doubting. WalkingTalkingBible |
