It was Bill Hybells  who said:

"If the request is wrong, God says, "No."

If the timing is wrong, God says, "Slow"

If you are wrong, God says, "Grow."

But if the request is right, the timing is

right and you are right, God says "Go!""

To your friend - The scripture says in Galatians 4 vs 1, The heir, as long as he is a child, differeth not from a servant though he be lord of all; But he is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father. Good to know that as a child of God , He meets your needs and answers your prayers. But let us not forget that God is not here for us , rather we are here for him. If you have been asking for something and you ve not yet gotten it, have you asked, if its the appointed time for you to get it? Also what is the purpose of you wanting to get it? James 4 V 3, Says ye ask and receive not because you ask amiss, that you may consume it on upon your lusts. So I will encourage her to first of all know the purpose of God for her life, and that is when she will be able to know if it's in God's plan to give her what she is asking for. Above all these, Patience is a VIRTUE!

Scripture states that God does not answer the prayers of the unrighteous; the pleas and requests and every petition of the unrighteous are tainted by their sins(disobedience/unholiness) and are hence an abomination to God. So, what is definite is that even your many pleas for the forgiveness of sins are not answered by God given that God made no special exemptions for that kind of pleas. No amount of praying can cause God to change His mind regarding that which concerns the unrighteous by the way. So if you are thinking of prescribing more prayers that only means you really don't understand or know God at all.

God, however, openly bragged about how He only answers the prayers of the righteous; He delights in granting them the desires of their heart meaning that they are those who are loved by Him. For this very reason, Jesus Christ urged His followers to seek first the Kingdom of God and God's Righteousness in order that all things— the blessings and rewards of the Kingdom of God(holiness), answers to prayers included—shall be added on to them. And as Jesus Christ explained in His Gospel, the only way to become Holy, and then also Righteous, is by way of continuous submission and obedience to the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ, god's Truth and Law in the Kingdom of god - John 8 vs 31 - 36 & John 14 vs 15 - 23. Jesus Christ is the only way. Obedience to the Truth of God is the one and only path to righteousness. No amount of praying and other religious rituals can accomplish that.

Also, you need to understand the meaning of the word "amiss" in order to realize what James was instead trying to tell you in that verse that you pulled from his epistle. If you consult Webster's dictionary, you will find that the word means to be in an imperfect state, a state that is not in the right order aka unrighteous.

Amiss

1. : not being in accordance with the right order. : faulty, imperfect.

What James was saying in that verse is that the reason you do not receive from God is that you are asking in an unrighteous state—a state that is not in accordance with God's mandate of righteousness. So, clearly, you cannot benefit anything from remaining in an unrighteous state as far as God is concerned. That is what God said, and James reiterated it in that verse there.

Stop lying! According to your pastors, the favor that you are meant to get from a God who says He does not show any man favor is meant to change one's life in so many ways. Unbelievers are alive are they equally favored following the formula fed to you by your pastors and mogs?

WOW... very sad what indoctrination does to the human mind. Why concern yourself at all with a culture which does not favor your situation? Why not create your own culture and abandon all that does not work for you?

Bill Hybells Lied to you lot.

□ God is always on time so He never answers "slow" or "grow" to any one of those to whom He promised an answer.
□ And God never says NO, because He made clear that He answers all of the prayers of the Righteous in the affirmative.... so He does not say "NO" to those to whom He gives an answer.
