When God Say's No To Your Prayers, God Will Not Answer All Of Your Prayers Truth Is Truth It All In The Bible, This Is What Preachers Won't Tell You
Truth Is Truth God Is Not Going To Answer All Of Your Prayers, Not Because He Is A Mean God & Cause He Doesn't Wanna See His Chosen People Blessed, The Reason That He Says No Is Cause For God's Owns Purpose For That Person's Life & Because God Has Something Better For That Person's Life, Moses Asked God Can He Cross Over The Jordan River To See The Promised Land & God Told Him No, But God Allowed Moses To See The Promised Land From The Top Of The Mountain, Read Deuteronomy 3,23-27 & David Fasted & Prayed That His Child Would Not Die & God Still Allowed The Child To Die Read 2nd Samuel 12,15-24 & Mary & Martha Asked Jesus To Come Quickly & Heal Their Dying Brother But Instead Jesus Waited Until Their Brother Died & Then Jesus Did Something Beyond What They Would Ever Think, Jesus Rose Him From The Grave, Read John Chapter 11 & Paul Asked Jesus 3 Times To Set Him Free From His Problem Cause Of The Thorn That Was In His Flesh & God Told Him No Cause God Was Using Pauls Weakness For His Glory, Read 2nd Cornthians 12,7-10 & Even Jesus Had 1 Prayer That Was Not Answered, Jesus Asked The Father That If It was Possible Could The Suffering Pass By Him & God Didn't Answer It For Jesus & Jesus Accepted God's No, Read Matthew 26,36-42 & Mark 14,32-36 & Luke 22,39-44 & John 18,11,,, So This Just Shows Us That God Will Not Answer All Of Your Prayers Cause Of God's Plan & Purpose That God Has For Your Life & Sometimes God Saying No To Your Prayers Can Be A Big Blessing, www.tireo4christ.com
