His answers are; Yes, No, and Wait.

Yes, no and wait are the answers I get....

HOSEA 14:8
“O Israel, stay away from idols! I am the one who answers your prayers and cares for you. I am like a tree that is always green; all your fruit comes from me.”

Does anyone remember the meaning of the word NO??...

My parents answered my every request....MANY, MANY, MANY times the answer was NO....Ruined a lot of my planned good times, but probably saved me from jail and death.

Yes, God answers every prayer....I pray that my 98 year old mother doesn't die....Nope is the answer.....We almost always ask the wrong questions and try to have things done as we would like....seldom happens.

When we decide that we can protest against God's intended plan and provide our own conception of what redemption is...we run into more than serious problems.

Yep, GOD always answers prayers. Now you may not like what HIS answer is, but HE does answer prayers. The problem that I see, is that when someone prays, that person thinks that GOD will answer “YES” to his prayer. Hey fellas, “NO” is also an answer.

We just had a deacon in our church die of a lung disease. He was a faithful man of God, very involved with children’s ministry, and had led many kids to Christ.
People prayed earnestly that he would either be healed or survive long enough to get a lung transplant. Neither happened and he died yesterday. He leaves behind a wife if 34 years and 4 grown lids.
Now...my question is : why didn’t God answer the many prayers lifted on behalf of this man? It makes absolutely no sense to me.

Does God Always Answer Prayer?

Cowboy Poetry

by Bill Jones

 

 

 

Jake, the rancher, went one day
to fix a distant fence.
The wind was cold and gusty
and the clouds rolled gray and dense.

As he pounded the last staples in
and gathered tools to go,
The temperature had fallen,
the wind and snow began to blow.

When he finally reached his pickup,
he felt a heavy heart.
From the sound of that ignition,
he knew it wouldn't start.

So Jake did what most of us
would do if we had been there.
He humbly bowed his balding head
and sent aloft a prayer.

As he turned the key for the last time,
he softly cursed his luck.
They found him three days later,
frozen stiff in that old truck.

Now Jake had been around in life
and done his share of roaming.
But when he saw Heaven, he was shocked --
it looked just like Wyoming!

Of all the saints in Heaven,
his favorite was St. Peter.
(Now, this line ain't needed
but it helps with rhyme and meter)

So they set and talked a minute or two,
or maybe it was three.
Nobody was keeping' score --
in Heaven time is free.

"I've always heard," Jake said to Pete,
"that God will answer prayer,
But one time I asked for help,
well, he just plain wasn't there."

"Does God answer prayers of some,
and ignore the prayers of others?
That don't seem exactly square --
I know all men are brothers."

"Or does he randomly reply,
without good rhyme or reason?
Maybe, it's the time of day,
the weather or the season."

"Now I ain't trying to act smart,
it's just the way I feel.
And I was wondering', could you tell me --
what the heck's the deal?!"

Peter listened very patiently
and when Jake was done,
There were smiles of recognition,
and he said, "So, you're the one!!"

"That day your truck, it wouldn't start,
and you sent your prayer a flying,
You gave us all a real bad time,
with hundreds of us trying."

"A thousand angels rushed,
to check the status of your file,
But you know, Jake, we hadn't heard
from you in quite a long while."

"And though all prayers are answered,
and God ain't got no quota,
He didn't recognize your voice,
and started a truck in Minnesota."

When Jesus was on the cross, the two thieves hurled insults at him and he ignored them. The moment one of the thieves realized who Jesus truly was and asked to be remembered, Jesus immediately turned to him and answered him.

[Smokin' Joe]

Sure He does! Just sometimes, the answer is “No.”.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Moses prayed for God to show him His face.

God said no, for no man can see My face and live. But I will let you see my back.

Using the criteria of this article did God answer Moses prayer or not?

Great Post. Thanks. I just dusted my Andrew Murray books. One is “ School of Prayer” I have one with 12 books in one of his books. I am looking at it now.
Remember Anne Graham Lotz is asking us to pray for USA and World this month with special intercessory prayers.
