you wrote: “….For God always answers every prayer and instantly. His answers are yes, no or wait.

In reality, they are always “yes.”…. ”

Now talk about “ridiculous”; that’s ridiculous and certainly falls so close to the center of my soul. I have to agree though, that you indeed fall in league with the likes of Jesus and Isaiah for being way past commonsense understanding!

That fact that I always want “my” prayers answered “yes” from God is a given, seeing the wretched lustful selfcentered soul that I am!

However, nothing God does is common or of any fleshy sense with me. I want to live. But I have to say to pick up a cross and live a cross life just goes against my grain. That’s a paradox! I want what I want when I want it, get it?

I do have to say though, this teaching here falls right dead center with Psalms 89 and, I add that it is true with most, if not “all” your teachings in here:

Psa 89:22 The enemy shall not outwit him; the wicked shall not humble him.
Psa 89:23 I will crush his foes before him and strike down those who hate him.
Psa 89:24 My faithfulness and my steadfast love shall be with him, and in my name shall his horn be exalted.
