praying question

[deerhunter1224]

This may be a silly question. When prayingfor someone thats sick you are telling God. What I dont get is say you asked God for you to make the right choice. Baseically yes or no questions. For me for example transfering back to the college I started at. Now he is not going to say yes or no.How do you know?I thought God does not mess with free will.

Brother,
There are many things in the Word that are black and white. You can find these answers in the Word such as...
1. Is it ok to get drunk?
2. Is it ok to have sex before marriage?
3. Is it ok to steal?
These and many more are black and white in the Word.
The things that are not black and white I believe are under the realm of Faith. Faith comes hearing God's Word thus having a relationship with Him.
Put God first my friend and eerything else will work out.

Matthew 6:32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

As far as the term free will ...I believe that might be a baptist term. I don't know. I don't use that word much.
God bless

Pray for God's will to be done in the situation. His will is perfect.

God speaks most often to people through his Word. Through the reading of scriptures. You know, when the Holy Spirit jumps those words straight off the page and into your heart.

God also speaks through others. In a church setting, he can speak to your situation through prophecy or an interpretation of a message in tongues.

He can aslo prick someones heart or spirit and they will say stuff to you that might pertain directly to the situation you're in.

You just have to remember that prayer works both ways. Sometimes we have to do less talking and more listening, to God and His spirit.

I'll pray that God reveals the correct answer for your situation.
