Min Fyine message | youth sunday

Gospel Assembly Church NYMay 2018

A youth Sunday message titled “Delayed but Not Denied” teaching that delays can be either natural or spiritual, but they do not nullify God's promises. Using Abraham & Sarah and Daniel's 21-day struggle as examples, the speaker urges believers to identify causes of delay (personal disobedience or unseen spiritual opposition), engage in prayer and fasting, remove hindrances (the 'Ishmaels' in life), and step into a faith of 'now' to claim God’s promises.
