BEING IN THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME

Where Does God Want Me At Any Point In Time?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Timing is everything. God created time for men. There is a timing mechanism in eternity different from ours. It is time of sort but far greater than seconds and minutes and days. It's measurement lifecycle is such that we cannot relate with it without first removing the concept of day and night, and the concept of sleep and death. With these gone, we can relate with eternity better. And with death and sleep gone, we can also understand why God isn't in a hurry to get something done, because the stakeholders are not dieing at all, neither are they coming to any harm that can shorten their life and subsequently their plans. As it relates to us humans, we are limited by time, we don't have all the time we need. We are limited by harm, which can affect our tasks and our objectives and our goals. We are also finite in resources, finite in geographical placement. In eternity there is no constraint of resources, no constraint of geographical placement. Movement from one point to another isn't as cumbersome and resource intensive as it is for a human.


HOW TO RECEIVE ANY MIRACLE FROM GOD

The first obtacle to receiving from God is what James called "asking amiss".

James 4:3 (KJV)
Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.


Other translations use the word  "wrong motives", "wrong reasons", "ask wickedly", "ask evilly", and adds that it is intended to be consumed on one's own pleasure. This then begs the question, "You mean I can't ask God for something I really want to consume on myself? That's unfair!"

Well, you don't have to worry either way. You can ask and still get if all the conditions are right in God's eyes. Then that also begs the question, "What is right in God's eyes? I have not met him, I can't see him, so how?" That is also not a problem. He has indicated very clearly in His Word the Bible what the limits are.
