Delayed, Not Denied!

Never doubt.

God sees you. He knows you. And His answer is on the way!

Daniel prayed and waited 21 days for the answer to his prayer. And yet, the angel said the moment Daniel prayed, the answer was already on the way.

You may not see the reason your answer is delayed, but it is NOT DENIED!

Don't walk away now! The Word says God's silence has a purpose. He doesn't want us to give up. He wants us to learn to trust Him ... even in the silence.

I want to encourage you that God still hears and answers prayer. Place your trust in Him. Let your faith outlast the delay.

It is my greatest desire that you become so firmly rooted in God that you are unshaken in your trust in Him.

Pastor Tim

A Message from the Desk of Tim Barker:

It's vital to remember the story of Daniel. Daniel's authenticity in God was already established. He had nothing to prove, not even to God.

Yet, for 21 days, Daniel's prayer went unanswered.

The Word tells us the answer was already given even though it did not reach Daniel for three weeks.

I want you to know that God still hears and answers prayer.

Never doubt. Never get up from your knees with a question of your worth in God's eyes.

His answer is already on the way.

Tim R. Barker, D. Min.
