Mark 16: 17-18<\/strong>, \u201cAnd these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does our expectations put a fence around answered prayer?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PRAYER<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Let me start with a short story on the power of answered prayer. On the very first visit to a prison, God helped me better understand answered prayer. I went with Champions for Life, and I was in Broad River Correctional, Columbia, SC. I was standing next to the rail overlooking the cellblock below me. I was in this particular location to avoid speaking to the inmates. I was uncomfortable because it was my first visit, and I didn\u2019t feel I had anything to share. So, I was hiding in plain sight. I was there without really being there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My thoughts were on a hundred things without landing on anything, fleeting moments of clarity that dissipated like the fog in the morning sun. I know they were there, without knowing what they were. Then I heard, \u201cI have been praying for weeks that my lawyer would find a way to get me out of here.\u201d This inmate had settled next to me, without making eye contact with me, and started talking to me. You see, he wasn\u2019t a Christian, but he thought he would try out prayer. He didn\u2019t expect anything, but he had hope. I was a Christian; maybe I knew the answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jeremiah 29:12<\/strong>, \u201cThen you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The good news was that this was a conversation that didn\u2019t require scripture memorization. This inmate didn\u2019t know scripture. He had no preconceived theology. He didn\u2019t even know if he had the right to expect a result. He just made a statement. New evidence came to light that proved his innocence. But getting released was a process, not an event. A lawyer had taken his case and was working on his release. For two months, the inmate hadn\u2019t heard a thing. That had to be incredibly depressing; to know you are innocent and shouldn\u2019t be in prison, the release would come from outside the walls, and you were stuck inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can\u2019t remember the exact conversation as none of the words were mine. It went something like this; there was evidence to be reviewed, docket to be cleared, maybe hearts to be softened, liability to be assessed; God\u2019s time is not our time. I remember his response; \u201cThank you, I prayed for encouragement, and He sent it through you.\u201d That floored me. I couldn\u2019t remember what I said; how could it have been encouraging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 John 5:15<\/strong>, \u201cAnd if we know that he hears us\u2014whatever we ask\u2014we know that we have what we asked of him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I took away from that weekend was to wait upon the Lord. I\u2019m impatient, get it done, execution is everything type of guy. Ideas are a dime-a-dozen; success comes from following through. With my first visit to a prison, my challenge was that I wanted to be a great success the first time out. I wanted God to provide me with immediate fulfillment. I didn\u2019t see this first visit as a step toward a new destination; it was the new destination. I fall into this trap all the time. I\u2019m impatient about God\u2019s plan for my life. Everything is significant, and I want to know why. I want instant feedback to confirm I am on the right path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do these seemingly false starts keep me on the right path? Why hasn\u2019t this person or that person responded the way I thought they should? Why has nothing happened when I have worked so hard? I am waiting on the evidence that God is with me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mark 11:24<\/strong>, \u201cTherefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FIG TREE<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The second I ask, God answers. When Jesus saw the fig tree without fruit, he cursed it. But it did not die right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mark 11:12-14<\/strong>, \u201cThe next day as they were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry. Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to find out if it had any fruit. When he reached it, he found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs. Then he said to the tree, \u201cMay no one ever eat fruit from you again.\u201d And his disciples heard him say it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mark 11:20<\/strong>, \u201cIn the morning, as they went along, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fig tree died from the root. It started dying the second it was cursed, but the evidence wasn\u2019t clear until the following day. God answers prayer the second we ask, but it may be some time before we see the fruit of that blessing. My impatience saps the joy out of that blessing. Sometimes when I don\u2019t get what I want, when I want it, I stop looking and miss the gift altogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of us have had situations that we have prayed about for years. We may not have prayed for a specific resolution, just that one happens. We want God\u2019s will to be done. It ebbs and flows like the tide crashing over the shore; good days followed by bad days followed by good days\u2014every fiber of our being screams out to give up. Finally, we’re tired of it all. But a small, meek voice always cautions us to be patient; one day, God will reveal His plan. One day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

God may send someone to encourage you, He may not, but the blessing is already happening. Know that it is happening and know that God is faithful in all things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Romans 12:12<\/strong>, \u201cBe joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
