How does God respond to our prayers, especially in difficult times?

“Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me.””
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭50:15‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

This is the natural response of God to every believer who cries out to Him.

In every Bible story, when anyone cried out to God, God not only came through but overwhelmingly so.

Through that answer to our prayers, God becomes glorified.

Many of us have become fearful and lost hope because of the circumstances of the pandemic. God is ushering new seasons into our lives. Nothing can delay the time and seasons of God. (Daniel 2:21)

God changes times and seasons from bad to good, from glory to glory etc

This message is mean to release hope and encouragement to us. Don’t let the difficulties of circumstances rob us of hope.

“I am the Lord, that is My name; And My glory I will not give to another, Nor My praise to carved images. Behold, the former things have come to pass, And new things I declare; Before they spring forth I tell you of them.””
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭42:8-9‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

God longs to move us from the former things into the new things He longs to do. The qualification to hear His voice is simply hearing His voice, as His sheep who know His voice.

What is this new season that the Lord wants to do? Along with this new season, will come the rest into our hearts that we long for. These are the seasons that we can receive by faith. Where do we need the seasons of God?

““On that day I will raise up The tabernacle of David, which has fallen down, And repair its damages; I will raise up its ruins, And rebuild it as in the days of old; That they may possess the remnant of Edom, And all the Gentiles who are called by My name,” Says the Lord who does this thing. “Behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord, “When the plowman shall overtake the reaper, And the treader of grapes him who sows seed; The mountains shall drip with sweet wine, And all the hills shall flow with it.”
‭‭Amos‬ ‭9:11-13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

In this prophetic season, the Lord is restoring the rest to us that was lost because of the instability caused by this pandemic.

The Prophetic Seasons (Amos 9: 11-13)

1. The plowman shall overtake the reaper: * The Season of Acceleration* of the plan and purposes of God in our lives, jobs, ministries etc. Delay is not denial. What is stuck or delayed will be released. (Luke 5: 4-6, Isaiah 60: 21-22)

2. The Season of Restoration and Restitution God is healing everything that was lost. (Mark 5: 25-27, 34, Joel 2:25-26, Philippians 1:6

3. The Season of Rebuilding The church is going to be rebuilt with people like you and I. God is going to rebuild us individually (Jeremiah 31:4, Isaiah 61:7)

Expect your seasons of mourning to turn into joy.

Our priority in year 2022…

1. Is to spend time with God through intimacy. (2 Corinthians 3:17, Psalm 16:11)

2. Is to expect the acceleration in the harvest we have been hoping for. Acts 2: 17-19)
