God answers His children’s prayers:
- Because it is His delight
- Because it is the time of acceleration of the end times
- So that our joy may be fulfilled
- For The Glorify of God (Give Glory to God)
The acceleration of your answered prayers
We are living in times where the natural and the supernatural are shortening[ shawrt-ning)
Mark 11:24 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.
Five steps:
- Whatever
- Ask (Be specific)
- Believe
- Receive them
- You will have them
Matthew 24:22 And unless those days were shortened, [ shawr-tn ] no flesh would be saved; but for the [a]elect’s sake those days will be shortened.
Compress: to press together; force into less space.
- God is shortening the times
Revelation 10:6 and swore [ swawr) by Him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and the things that are in it, the earth and the things that are in it, and the sea and the things that are in it, that there should be delay no longer,
- There will be no more delay
- God is compressing time
Illustration: “Ladder [ lad-er ] Steps. Each step is a level. Seven levels are one dimension. God takes them and compresses them "
Ezekiel 12:23-28 Tell them therefore, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “I will lay this proverb to rest, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel.” ’But say to them, ‘ “The days are at hand, and the fulfillment of every vision. 24 For no more shall there be any false vision or flattering divination [ div-uh-ney-shuhn ]within the house of Israel. 25 For I am the Lord. I speak, and the word which I speak will come to pass; it will no more be postponed; for in your days, O rebellious house, I will say the word and perform it,” says the Lord God.’ ”
26 Again the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 27 “Son of man, look, the house of Israel is saying, ‘The vision that he sees is for many days from now, and he prophesies of times far off.’ 28 Therefore say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “None of My words will be postponed any more, but the word which I speak will be done,” says the Lord God.’ ”
- No more delay
In compression of time we see four keys
- And it came to pass
Exodus 12:41 And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years—on that very same day—it came to pass that all the armies of the Lord went out from the land of Egypt.
2 Corinthians 1:20 For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us.
• Many times, it is not that God says: No. What happens is that we are not asking according to His will, and it is also that we are not mature to receive the answer.
- As they went
Luke 17:14 So when He saw them, He said to them, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And so it was that as they went, they were cleansed.
Matthew 8:8-13 The centurion answered and said, “Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only speak a word, and my servant will be healed. 9 For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”
10 When Jesus heard it, He marveled, and said to those who followed, “Assuredly, I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel! 11 And I say to you that many will come from east and west, and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. 12 But the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” 13 Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go your way; and as you have believed, so let it be done for you.” And his servant was healed that same hour.
- And immediately
Mark 10:51-52 So Jesus answered and said to him, “What do you want Me to do for you?” The blind man said to Him, “Rabboni, that I may receive my sight.” 52 Then Jesus said to him, “Go your way; your faith has made you well.” And immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus on the road.
- Behold, the days are coming
Amos 9:13 “Behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord, “When the plowman[ plou-muhn ] shall overtake the reaper, [ ree-per ] And the treader[ tred ] of grapes him who sows[ soh ] seed; The mountains shall drip with sweet wine, and all the hills shall flow with it.
