Question

Why does God sometimes hold off answering a prayer until the last moment?

Answer

Now, I could think of when Zacharias…God setting Hisself in order, getting His church ready…Zacharias, the great high priest—or great priest, rather, he was to burn incense. He had a home that was consecrated to God. God give us some more homes like that. Yes, sir. They believe God and waited on God. And Elisabeth, his wife, was barren. She was way past the age now, and she was barren. And down—had pray for years for God to give them children, but seemingly, He had not done it. Sometimes God holds off to the very last moment, just to see what you will do about it. Oh, my. I feel kindly religious right now. I—I really do, when I think of His goodness, how that many times that He holds it right off to the last moment to see what you’ll do about it.
