GOD'S, NO!!!
GOD'S NO!!!
Would you still worship Him?
Our GOD Says … No, Will you still love Him and praise Him?
Word Time With Apostle James Winfree Sr.
There are also times when GOD'S No means, “NO” We see this exemplified when king David desired to build a house for GOD ( the temple ) and amassed the spoils of war ( gold and silver ), actually preparing plans to construct a massive temple. Nathan the Prophet told him to do all that was in his heart, for the Lord was with him, a word indicating to move forward with the project (2 Sam. 7:3).
Later, the Lord informed Nathan His Prophet that king David would not be the man to build GOD'S house, But GOD would permit a son after David to fulfill the plan . This prediction came to pass with king Solomon, king David son.
king David had previously pitched a tent on Mount Zion and hosted nonstop worship, even moving the ark of the covenant to Jerusalem ( 2 Sam. 6:12 ). Scholars called this tent the “tabernacle of David.” It was a continual place of singing and worship. Much of Psalms was written while priests and singers ministered at David’s tabernacle in Jerusalem.
With a place like that and with such a desire to please and worship GOD, why would the LORD not permit king David to build a permanent temple? king David was already worshipping Him in a tent, so why restrict him from the temple?
The answer is, king David was a man of war and bloodshed. When he shed the innocent blood of Uriah and took the man wife, just like so many are doing in our Day, Jesus said to the woman at the well, Go get your husband, and she said to Jesus, I have No husband, and Jesus you spoke the truth, and man in your home now, he is Not yours, alone with the other five you already had, So king David he forfeited the right of being the builder of the temple (see 1 Chr. 28:3 ).
However, the no of David the king became the Yes of king Solomon. Solomon was not a man of war. He was a king of many women and of peace, and his administration initiated peace in Israel for the first time in many generations. The new temple was to be a house of peace and blessing. What David could not do, his son was enabled to do.
Moses was unable to enter the Promised Land for one act of disobedience: He struck the rock twice when the Almighty instructed him to simply “speak to the rock” ( Num. 20:8-11 ). In his anger, by striking the rock instead of speaking to it, Moses exalted himself and Aaron in the eyes of the congregation. The action implied that he and Aaron were the ones providing the water instead of God and revealed that spiritual unbelief had impacted all of Israel—except for Joshua and Caleb.
Joshua was Moses’ minister, and he received the impartation and blessing of replacing Moses at his death and leading Israel into the Promised Land. The no of Moses became the Yes of Joshua!
Similarly, the prayers you are praying based on your dreams and visions of the future may be only partly fulfilled in your lifetime. But they may be completely fulfilled through your children and their children’s children!
There will also be times when your answer to prayer will be linked to the proper timing of the event or situation. Thus your answer can be delayed but not necessarily denied. But GOD's NO Means NO!!!
At age 75, Abraham received the promise of God for a son. Ten years later, Sarah was still barren and Abraham still fatherless ( Gen. 16:3 ). Finally, the Lord appeared to Abraham, who was then ( 99 ), and reconfirmed a son through Sarah, nearly 24 years after the initial promise.
I always questioned the reason for such a long delay. Then I read: “Now Abraham and Sarah were old. … Sarah had passed the age of childbearing” ( Gen. 18:11 ).
Literally, Sarah had gone through menopause and was past the age of having a child. This was the reason for the 25-year wait. GOD wanted the physiological circumstances to be completely impossible for the couple to have a son. That way both Abraham and Sarah, and all who would hear would know that the child was a gift and promise from God. The Almighty delayed the timing so that He alone would be glorified.
GOD'S NO is not always a no. It can be a delay. And delayed answers are not denials. They are simply pauses in the action. GOD said NO to human built building, But Yes to building up His born again, blood washed, water baptize in Jesus Name and Holy Ghost filled chosen Believers.
We must build each other up, and stop spending all our time, lives and money building up lifeless, cold dead buildings.
