During a certain period of my life, I had a little issue and needed to ask God for some remedies (as much as I can remember) and even added some spiritual sacrifices to enhance the process. But the answer came quicker than I thought. You know what? I didn't believe it, because there was a certain way I wanted God to respond; there was a projected time I had in my mind for the answer to come.
Many Christians and people sometimes want to strictly dictate how God will fulfill his promises, answer their call, and bring solutions to their problems, because there are teachings flying around about how much you have to do this and that to get these and those results. The sacrifice you must put in to achieve this, and because of this, sometimes even when God communicates back, after our request, we find it difficult to agree, because it didn't come in the manner we expected or had pictured the answer to come.
God might not be in the whirlwind, earthquake, or fire, but just in a still, small voice.
I say this, not because I have a problem with spiritual exercises and sacrifices, but so we correct the notion that it's by power or by might, and let God do his thing as we adhere and obey, no matter the timing or the means He does it.
