The speaker in chapel the other week said something that I very much like. (I'm not quoting word for word. and I'm definitely explaining in a different way but the main point is still the same)
When we pray God doesn't say wait. When He says yes, sometimes we have to wait to get His answer, because we are bound by time, and sometimes His answer has to travel through time. So when we feel like God isn't answering us. It's not because He hasn't, it's just because it hasn't gone through the time layer. :)
(and this is me now)
I was thinking about it and ya know, I think sometimes the angels have two layers to go through: time and Satan's army. Or maybe Satan's army is the layer of time (Because Satan is the ruler of all evil and time is a consequence of evil so ya know... maybe. I'm still processing this.)
In Daniel, Daniel was praying for a long time before the angel came to him. And the angel said that he was sent directly but couldn't get there because he was warring with Satan's army and had to get through them first, before he could get to Daniel.
so I don't think God says wait. I think I very much agree with this speaker.
but anyway these are my current thoughts on this subject. Like I said, still processing. :)
So if a girl asked God, "Is this the man for me to marry?" He will only say, "Yes," or "No." He will not say, "Yes, he's the one. But you're not ready yet." He will never say to wait? Is that what you're saying?
ReplyDeleteIf it takes time for our prayers and His answers then how come some people get INSTANT answers? Many people in the Bible have gotten instant answers, so the whole "time to get to us" doesn't seem very Biblical.
That's an interesting theory, but it seems only that. A theory. Just sayin'.
interesting thoughts. Like I said I'm still processing this, and those are my thoughts on it.
Deletealso the first part was indirectly quoting the speaker from chapel only the second part is my thoughts. I'm not actually sure if I agree with the concept that God doesn't say wait. But it definitely got me thinking. And I do definitely think that Satan does try to ward of as many angels as possible.
but like I said. I'm still processing
