Does God Grant Selfish Requests?

Does God Grant Selfish Requests? Yes. He also allows the consequences to follow. If you insist on a manner in your life that could be against the clear will of God, He may grant that request, but you will never be the same because it will come at a cost. The Israelites insisted on a king. God granted their selfish request. Everyone suffered. 1 Samuel 8:22 The Israelites insisted on meat because they were tired of the manna. God sent them qual. God granted their selfish request, but it cost many of them their lives. Numbers 11:33&34 You see this same cycle today in the church. Called to be holy yet running wild. Asking amiss because their hearts are full of selfish ambition. Remember, the permission of God may not be the will of God. 1 Samuel 15:22 To obey is better than sacrifice. Today we have many leaders in church who have forgotten to walk holy and have lost their fear of God. The shame that is brought upon the name of our Lord is grievous and the world stands back and laughs at the church. God is allowing un-repented sin to surface, with the current news of IHOPKC and its founder and leader Mike Bickle and the sexual scandal that has come out. Leaders & teachers in the church are held to a higher accountability and will give an account for every idle word spoken. James 3:1 “My brethren, let not many of you become teachers, knowing that we shall receive a stricter judgment”. Matthew 12:36 “But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.” We as the body of Christ, are called to walk holy, not resembling the world. Hebrews 12:14 “Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord.” 1 Peter 1:16 ‘it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.”’ Mike Bickle and the sex scandal is discussed starting at the 31:32 mark in this video.
