There can
be hindrances to receiving answers to prayer and healings. If you are not
seeing results, either you have not persevered long enough or there is a
hindrance blocking it. Do not allow doubt to invade your conversation, or into
your heart. Believe, and give it time, knowing that God will not let His Word
return unto Him void. Under Hindrances Blocking Answers, there is a list to
examine if you are concerned as to why answers are not forthcoming.
Remember
There are
immediate answers. “And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will
answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear” (Isaiah 65:24).
There is
waiting patiently, believing, and thanking God every day for the answer which
came the moment you asked, but sometimes we have to wait, like Daniel did.
God’s time and His way of answering may not be the way or time we expect it, but
the answer will come, for “nothing is impossible with God” (Luke 18:27;
Ezekiel 12:21-28).
If there
never is an answer, maybe God has a reason for not answering this prayer. Many
have had the experience of thanking God that He sees ahead, knowing that if we
had knowledge of the future, we would not pray that prayer. We should not apply
this to a salvation request, for “God is not willing that any should perish, but
that all should come to repentance” (II Peter 3:9).
Doubt is a
robber! (James 1:6-7)
Doubt is
an outright distrust of the love and care of the Heavenly Father and this is a
SIN! “Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and He shall sustain thee: He shall never
suffer the righteous to be moved” (Psalm 55:22). The devil would like to rob
you of every blessing: disbelief, fear, worry, and confusion are all mixed up
with doubt. “Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which
He will shew to you today:….” (Exodus 14:13). “God hath not given us the
spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind” (II Timothy
1:7).
