DELAYED, YET DEFINITE!!

"Then He said, "Don't be frightened, Daniel, for your request has been heard in heaven, and was answered the very first day..." Daniel 10:12. My friend DELAY IS NOT DENIAL!! We live in an "instant Society". We have instant Camera, Instant Potato, Instant Credit, Quick food, Quick Service, Plane hop with brief stop, right? Instead of "Pray and Wait": we "pray and work", "Pray and worry", and "Pray and Whine". Abraham waited until he was 100 years old- God told Abraham that he will have a son by Sarah, a "supernatural son" and it was 25 years later before Isaac was born. Moses waited 40 years for his calling- Moses tried to do what he felt like he should do to free his people- but the method and timing was wrong. He was ran out of town and nothing but silence was from God. David was anointed as king at around 17 years of age yet did not come to throne until 13 years later. He was chased like a dog, was hiding in caves, abandoned by family, friends, and even his boss tried to kill him. But do you know what God was doing in their lives? Abraham, God was developing him into a man of faith-NO MATTER WHAT. Moses, God was preparing him to be a leader OF A NATION. David, God was preparing him to be king that could TRUST HIM. During my study, God showed me: 1) God hears our prayers. 2) God acts upon our prayers. 3) Sometimes answer to our prayers are hindered by the adversary. 4) God has promised ultimate victory to us. 5) Waiting is often in our best interest. Bro: When God delays, He always delays for a greater purpose. It is in these times that He is developing us for our destinies. Don't be walking on nails man, He is developing faith of HEROES with in us - if we don't give up!! Y'ALL HEAR ME!
