Well, I'm sorry that you can't understand what I'm saying. I'll say it again in a clearer way.
Here's a scenario:
A person has a specific prayer or request from God.
God's CLEAR answer will be Yes, No or He will stay silent and being silent is also an answer from God.
When God says Yes, you'll see everything falling into place, going smoothly, even blessed, miracles happens in the middle that clearly shows that God's hands are there working things out. You will feel this peace and joy knowing in your heart that's DEFINITELY God's choice for you.
When God says No, you will see everything not working or improving or progressed or blessed. Things are getting worse, are getting more complicated and hard. God will clearly show you the alternative He wants for you and it's up to you to take it or leave it. And if you choose to go against God's will, you will suffer big time!!
When God is being Silent, you will find yourself still praying for whatever you want. You won't see change. You won't even see any alternatives. Your circumstances are the same simply because according to
God's timing, the
Yes or
No answer to your prayer is
not due yet. God is simply telling you to Wait for an answer from Him. And again, if you choose not to wait for an answer from God but rather keep fighting, it'll be YOUR loss!!
When you love God that much and have a very intimate relationship with Him you will CLEARLY hear His voice.
I know you have kids, imagine your kid is playing with a lot of other kids, so everyone is talking and it's so busy, BUT if YOUR kid says something you will hear his voice right away. You will recognize your kid's voice and draw your attention to what he/she says.
Perhaps God always answers you clearly; I'm not disputing that. I'm not saying He never answers clearly, only that it's not always true for everyone. Telling people that God's answers to their prayers and questions are always clear is sort of a narrow view of how God works, and it makes it even more confusing for people who are seeking answers and failing to receive them or not understanding where God is leading them.
It's true that what people want often clouds their ability to see what God wants for them, but it's also true that God doesn't always give direct, easy to understand, clear answers. Often times, people don't even realize that a prayer has been answered until long after they've forgotten what they even prayed for.
I just think it's misleading, and offering a bit of false hope, to tell people that God only operates in such-and-such a way, particularly when you're telling them, essentially, that they aren't seeing something that's oh-so-obvious.
