SPIRITUAL WARFARE: DELAY
Not every delayed blessing is necessarily God’s will for you.
Spiritual warfare is real.We are not fighting against flesh and blood but against demonic principalities.
Satan also causes delay in people receiving answers through distractions from fervent,persistent prayer.
Jesus tells us in Luke 18:7-8 that God will quickly answer the prayer of those who cry out day and night persistently.
To cause delay,Satan attacks people’s persistent prayer through laziness,discouragement,and distractions.
And one of the ways Satan causes delayed answers from God’s children in our generation is by afflicting them with phone addiction to stop them from fervently praying.
He gives you a toy to distract you while he destroys your life.
In Daniel 10:12-14, Daniel prayed 21 days before receiving the answer yet the answer had been released the very first day he prayed.
The delay was caused by spiritual warfare trying to block the answer reaching Daniel.
But as he continually prayed,Satan was defeated and Daniel received his answer.
There are things we may be praying for and God has already released the answer and we do not know since it has not yet manifested.
And to block our answer from reaching us Satan attacks in so many ways just to make us quit praying and give up.
Jesus says in Luke 18:1 that we should always pray persistently and not give up until we receive.
There are things people prayed for and answers were released by God but before they could reach them,the owners of those blessings gave up in discouragement and quit praying choosing to be comfortable without their answers.
And Satan stole the answers from them without them ever knowing that God’s will had been for them to receive and He had released their answer.
There are times people give up and just accept certain things yet God’s will had been for them to receive their answers but Satan intercepted it with discouragement and distractions that prevent persistent prayer.
We must learn to fight and persist in prayer for what is rightfully ours.
We must not get discouraged or distracted,keep praying persistently day and night,God will quickly answer.
