When The Answer Is Disguised

Ask and you shall receive that your joy may be full. This promise of Jesus might lead us to believe that answers to our prayers ought to be the answers we're asking for. But sometimes God sends answers that have less to do with what we ask and more to do with the relationships with Him that He wants us to have.

Please stay with us. From Chicago, this is The Moody Church Hour, a weekly service of worship and teaching with Pastor Erwin Lutzer. Today we continue a series on the triumph of unanswered prayer, and our focus on this broadcast will be on how to deal with those times when the answer is disguised. Pastor Lutzer comes now to open today's service. Now at this time, it is my privilege to introduce our service. And if you have your bulletins, you may take them and turn, please, because in a moment, we are going to be singing hymn number 526, the solid rock.

And then 343, amazing grace. Our scripture reading today is by Joseph Carré. Joseph and his wife have been at Moody Church for 14 years. They're involved in our ministry.

Each of them, he and his wife, teach our precept classes, two precept classes. And Joseph is a deacon here at The Moody Church and also a medical doctor. We're glad for their ministry and the impact that they have had. In a moment, I'm going to invite you to stand as we will be for the reading of God's word and the singing of the hymns that we outlined. Would you join me as we pray together and then we shall stand for the reading of God's word? Our Father, we want to invite your blessed Holy Spirit to be here.

Make this a transforming experience for us. And may our worship be honoring and a blessing to you. As we magnify your name, as we think about your goodness and our relationship with you, we pray that no one who is here will leave the same. May we all be transformed for eternity because we've been in your presence together. We pray in Jesus' name. Amen.

Amen. Let's all stand now for the reading of God's word. This is the word of the Lord from Psalm 62.

Please join me in reading the ballpoint. For God alone, my soul waits in silence. From him comes my salvation. He only is my work and my salvation. My fortress shall not be greatly shaken. For God alone, who my soul waits in silence. For my hope is from him. He only is my work and my salvation. My fortress shall not be shaken. On God rests my salvation and my glory. My mighty work, my refuge is God. Twist in him at all times, O people.

Pour out your heart before him. God is your refuge for us. I hope we see the Lord in this and Jesus' love and vengeance first.

I cannot trust the sweetest friend, the holy King of Jesus' name. All righteous, all in the face of death. All ever now, please see me stand. All ever now, please see me stand. In God's face, his holy face, thy grasp on his unchanging grace.

In every lie and story he, my anchor falls within the grave. All righteous, all in the face of death. All around the world, please see me stand. All around the world, please see me stand.

In Jesus' face, his holy face, thy grasp on his unchanging grace. All around the world, please see me stand. All righteous, all in the face of death. All around the world, please see me stand. All around the world, please see me stand.

All righteous, all in the face of death. All around the world, please see me stand. All around the world, please see me stand. All righteous, all in the face of death. All around the world, please see me stand.

All around the world, please see me stand. Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me. I once was lost, but now am found.

Was blind, but now I see. Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, and grace my fears relieved. How precious did that grace appear beyond thy first belief. The Lord has promised to not fear me. He's heard my own saviors.

He within my sheep, and nor shall it be as long as life in the woods. To many dangers, trials, and snares, I have already come. To many dangers, trials, and snares I have already come. To many dangers, trials, and snares I have already come. To many dangers, trials, and snares I have already come. To many dangers, trials, and snares I have already come.

To many dangers, trials, and snares I have already come. When peace, like a river, At end, at my way, When sorrows, like sea, billows roll, Whatever my bound has taught me to say, It is well, it is well with my soul. It is well, it is well with my soul.

My sin, O the place of this glorious thought, My sin, not in part, not for whole, Is fair to the poor, And I bear it no more. Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul. It is well, it is well with my soul. Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul. And, Lord, praise the King, When my peace shall be sought, The power of the old man has us born. The cup shall raise up, And the cup shall raise then, He lets on, Praise it well with my soul. It is well, it is well with my soul.

It is well with my soul. Let's bow our heads in prayer one more time, please. Father, you have been faithful, and we ask that during these moments your faithfulness might again become very clear to us. And, Lord, it's not what I can do or what my words can do, but it's what your Spirit does. Do something permanent and lasting and transforming to all who listen, whether by radio or here in the sanctuary or by internet. We ask today, Father, that this message shall be transforming for all who listen because of the power of your Spirit and your Word. In Jesus' name, Amen. I'm never going to bother God with another request again.

Why should I don't want to be hurt? Those are the words of a woman who is angry with God because he refused to answer the prayer that she and hundreds of others had prayed for their pastor. He was a young man diagnosed with cancer with a young wife and small children, and the church loved him. So they decided to sign up for all around the night prayer meetings, everybody taking a half hour, and so prayer was being offered to God on his behalf 24-7. And then they prayed all night, too. I remember being at a conference with about a thousand people, and all of us stopped to pray.

The young man was there at the time in a wheelchair, and we all prayed for him, and yet he died. And now she's bitter because God did not answer her request. How do we relate to unanswered prayer? We've been talking about the answers being delayed, and sometimes the answer today we'll emphasize is disguised. We'll also be talking about the answer when it is denied, and we'll also be speaking about disappointment with God, because haven't we all been disappointed with God?

We can relate to this woman, can't we? We maybe didn't say the words, but we've all felt it. Where was God when we offered a request in his name for his glory meeting?

We thank all of the conditions, and it did not happen. Well, that's what we've been discussing in this series of messages, the triumphs of unanswered prayer. But today what we're going to do is to shift focus and to talk about a paradigm shift in our own minds regarding prayer. And what we're going to stress is that in our praying, we have to move from getting, we have to move from the mentality of getting to the mentality of relationship, so that we understand that we have to know God before we ask of God.

And we have to understand God's ways. And another way to describe it is that the emphasis no longer is on my desires and what I think God should do, but on God's desires and what he wants to do. It is a paradigm shift that can transform your prayer life and make it into a time when you earnestly look forward to it. And you can hardly help yourself when it's time to pray. And prayer becomes entirely different than simply asking. And maybe afterwards we can understand a little better some of those extravagant promises that we've all heard from the lips of Jesus. Another way to say this is, can you imagine praying in such a way to quote the words of John Piper, that God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied with him.

It's praying differently and maybe in the process receiving the answer to our prayers. Well, today's text is Hebrews chapter 11. Hebrews chapter 11, that's the section that we've been camping on in the last couple of weeks. Hebrews chapter 11 and verse 6. I think it's one of the most important and explosive verses in all the Bible.

All the Bible is inspired, but there are some words that certainly ought to be transforming. And this verse should leave us changed forever. For without faith, without faith, it is impossible to please God. Because he who comes to God must believe that he is and that he rewards those who seek him. If you check the Greek text, you'll know that the word that talks about diligently seeking him, that that word actually is emphasized. And I like the translation that says God rewards those who diligently seek him out. Today we're going to learn how to seek God out. And for many, the journey is going to begin today.

Now, as we look at this text, a couple of things become very obvious. First of all, it's clear that faith should have an object. Our faith should have an object, namely God. You say, well, Pastor Lutzer, I'm not a person of faith. I don't like this idea of faith.

I don't exercise faith. Oh, yeah? You go to a doctor whose name you can't pronounce. He gives you a prescription that you can't read. You take it to a pharmacist whom you've never met. He gives you a substance that you haven't analyzed. And yet you take it. That is faith.

All right? Everyone who's ever eaten in a restaurant has exercised faith, sometimes more than others. Of course we all live by faith. But what is it that the text is telling us? It is to come to God in faith.

You must believe that he is and that he rewards those who seek him out. What God are we talking about? It is God with a capital G. It's the God who created. I marvel at how scientific the Bible is. Genesis chapter 1 verse 1, in the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. There you have all of the elements of science in those 10 words. In the beginning, the concept of time. Created, the concept of energy.

The concept of God, in the beginning, God, there you have personality. Created the heavens, there you have space and the earth, there you have matter. It's that God who created the stars and calls them all by name so that you and I might know who we are worshiping. It is that God whom we worship and it is that God to whom we come. He is a creating God. Einstein was enamored with the universe. In fact, someone who knew him said that they thought that Einstein was a fundamentally religious man, but he had no time for organized religion because the preachers of his day were talking about a God that was a lot smaller than the one that he had encountered in nature.

Wow. May it never be said that at Moody Church we have a small God. We have a great God. The God who creates. It's the God who redeems. It's the God who redeems. When people give a testimony, they often say, well, you know, I came to know Christ or I found Christ as my savior.

We understand what they mean. But strictly speaking, my friends, you didn't find Christ. Christ found you. There isn't a sheep on planet Earth that goes looking for the shepherd. A shepherd came looking for you is the God who created, but the God who seeks and the God who finds. And so you should really say when you give your testimony, you know, God found me back in and then give the year and the date. Well, he's always found you, but that's when he zeroed in on you and said, I am working in your life to bring you to faith.

And it happened. It's also the God who speaks. And what does this God say from the book of James?

Draw near to God and he will draw near to you. This is the God who said when he was on Earth, Jesus, come on to me, all you who labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn of me for I'm meek and lowly of heart and you shall find rest to your souls. This is the God who invites. He who comes to God must believe that he is. And so we come. We come because of the God of nature, but because of this word, he's a God who speaks and a God whom we can at least a little bit understand.

Now notice what the text is saying. Also that faith as we come in faith, it has a reward. God rewards those who diligently seek him. It rewards.

He rewards. You know, there is a form of Christianity that does not have a reward. There's a form of Christianity that says we need to obey God because that's what you ought to do. Why should you go to church? That's what you ought to do. Why should you read the Bible? That's what you ought to do.

Why should you witness? That's what you ought to do. It's what you should do. That kind of Christianity is a legalistic and it is dead.

And it's proven by the fact that young people, not our young people, but across the nation, young people who leave high school oftentimes when they go into college, never return to church, but go their own way because they've only been introduced to an ought kind of Christianity. You should do this. That's anti biblical. Yes, there may be times when you do something, even though you don't feel like it. And when you do, I should say this. What should happen if you come to church and you don't feel like praising God and yet you get to the church and there they are praising God as we did this morning. What do you do? Do you sing or don't you? Do you want to be a hypocrite or not?

Here's the answer. If all that you do is sing, then you could be a hypocrite. But the way in which you do it is this. You sing.

Yes. And while you're singing, you're repenting and saying, Lord, my heart is cold. Lord, I'm distracted because of A, B and C. And therefore, Father, bring me into the joy and the gladness of this moment.

Then you can sing and the gladness of heart begins. The Bible says God rewards those who diligently seek him. You know, why is it that people were willing to give up their homes and that their property was plundered back in Chapter 10? It says in verse 34, because they knew they had a better possession and an abiding one.

Therefore, do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward. Here it talks about a reward. Why did Moses leave the treasures of Egypt? Verse 36.

Actually, verse 26. It's because he was looking forward to the reward, reward, reward, reward. God rewards those who seek him out.

And what is the reward? Well, let's begin with joy. Let's begin with joy.

Whenever I've asked to autograph something, maybe a book or a Bible usually and people say, well, give me your favorite verse. I usually use Psalm 1611, where it says, in thy presence, there is fullness of joy. Thy right hand, their pleasures forevermore. Imagine joy in the presence of God. In fact, the Bible commands us in Psalm 37 to delight ourselves in God. Imagine delight. Now just think about this for a moment. Imagine a relationship with God where the darkness has been pushed out by light and the emptiness has been filled with his own glory and grace. Imagine a Christian life in which there is that sense of accomplishment and fulfillment, not because of what you do, but because of the relationship that you've established with God and you walk with him and love him. And within there is a sense of contentment and rest.

Imagine it. This past week, Rebecca and I flew somewhere on the plane. Actually, it was Florida. And we had to come back.

We had to come back on a Saturday when the Windchill Index was 21 degrees below zero. But on the way, I read something by David Brainard. Now, you may not know who he was, but he was a missionary among the Indians who lived in a different time frame many years ago. And this was sort of a compilation of some of the things that he had written in his diary.

Can I just give you a few lines? I enjoyed the light of God's countenance and my soul rested in God, he says. One hour with God infinitely exceeds all the pleasures and delights of this lower world.

Let me give you another quote. I desired nothing but God, nothing but his holiness. He had given me these desires, and I love this. He has given me these desires and he alone can fill them. God gives us a desire for himself and then God is the only one who can fulfill the desires that he himself gives. And it's very clear in Scripture that salvation, when you are born again, goes down to the level of desire. Imagine loving somebody whom you have never seen, passionately loving someone whom you have never seen.

And yet it says in the book of 1 Peter, whom having not seen, speaking of Christ, whom having not seen ye love. That's birthed in our hearts by God. And you see, people will never give up their sin. Can you imagine trying to convince a man to give up his pornography? Why would he ever do that? It is like trying to convince a lion to give up meat and begin to eat straw. The desires, the appetites are there. How can he give it up? I'll tell you how he can give it up. When he begins to realize that God is more satisfying than his lusts.

That's the bottom line. In fact, there's a man who wrote a long article about his struggle in that regard and the verse of Scripture that brought deliverance to him is taken from the Sermon on the Mount where it says, blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. He said the thing about my sin was it is, it was cutting me off from God, the sense of guilt and shame was blotting the face of the Heavenly Father, whom I love. It's the passion for God that is greater than our passion to sin. See, sin tells lies. Sin always lies.

It always says, come my direction and you'll be better off. More pleasure, more satisfaction. Notice what the text says regarding Moses.

I read it a moment ago, but look at it very, very quickly. You'll notice it says in verse 24 of Hebrews 11, by faith Moses, when he was grown up refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, choosing rather to be mistreated with the people of God, catch it now, than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin. Moses says, of course there is pleasure in sin, but for a season, and these are fleeting pleasures.

These pleasures always have a bad aftertaste. And so the way in which we do it is we discovered that in seeking God, in seeking God, there is great reward. God said to Abraham, Abraham, you don't have to fear because I love this. I am your exceeding great reward.

I'm here. And when I'm here, there is a sense of rest and satisfaction and gladness. That's why the Psalms are so filled, so filled with exhortations to rejoice in God. It is because God himself rewards those who seek him.

Well, of course, the $64 question is very, very apparent now. And that is how do we seek God? A generation that has not sought God, who's looked at God as kind of a slot machine. In other words, Lord, I want this and this is what I want you to do for me and keep me from harm, keep me healthy, help me no longer to have the problems that I do, prevent me from accidents.

All those may have their place. But to a generation where prayer is primarily that, how do we stop in our tracks and say to ourselves, I want to seek God? I mean, if it is true that he generously rewards those who seek him, I want to be among those who take him up on it. Do you too want to take him up on it?

How do we do it? Well, aren't you glad you asked? I mean, that's such a good question. I need to commend you for asking it. Would you notice in your bulletin this morning, there is a card that I prepared and this card, and you can reach for it right now. This card is entitled, The Rewards of Faith. Larry Crabbe wrote a book entitled, The Papa Prayer. And this Papa Prayer really is a discussion of this mega shift that I'm talking about, where prayer goes from asking to relationship. And he in the book has a system outlined. Mine is different from his, but nonetheless, I do commend to you what Larry Crabbe has to say and actually have some quotes from his book, which I might give you if we have enough time. So this is what I have prepared because this reflects actually where I am at in the journey of seeking God.

You'll notice, and now with your card in front of you, notice, first of all, how do you do it? You choose to agree with God. You choose to agree with God.

This has to begin with silence. I wait silently before the Lord, the psalmist says, because what you are doing now is exposing your life and all of the intents of the heart to a God who already sees you. And what you're saying is, God, not only do you see me, but show me what you see so that I can deal with it. What are the stones that have to be moved in my life in order to have a clear relationship with you?

What is standing in the way? This is known as confession. You've heard many times that the word confess means to agree with God. It says, God, whatever you show me, I agree that bitterness is sin. I agree that this relationship I'm in is sinful.

I agree that the anxieties that I am bearing are sinful because I have things on my shoulders that you are supposed to carry and I'm carrying them. And that is the time when we come and we agree with God. I usually do this in silence. When I pray this way, as I try to do, if not every day, that's the way I want to pray.

So it begins with silence. By the way, I do pray every day, but possibly not exactly in this order. And I might say, sometimes I don't follow the order.

This is not some kind of a new formula. All right? We're talking relationship here. You choose to agree with God in honesty, confession, and surrender. You choose to adore God. You begin to read the Psalms possibly.

You read about the blessings of God. Use a hymn or a chorus. Those of you who belong to the choir, you have certainly a jump on us here because you know you're constantly singing those songs of glory. I notice that the songs that we sing on Sunday oftentimes are in my mind during the week. And so what you do is you use the Bible, you use a hymnal.

I love to be able to just look into the face of God and say, Jesus, the very thought of thee with sweetness fills my breast, but sweeter far thy face to see and in thy presence rest. What you are doing is reminding yourself of God. You're reminding him, yes, on yourself actually of his attributes, but you're also reminding yourself of his relationship with you. And you're building that relationship.

This is a relationship that is going to be built in confidence. And so you come into God's presence and you do that. Third, choose to assure yourself, choose to assure yourself. By that I mean there are some of you who really aren't willing to let God love you because you know right well that you are so unlovable that he really shouldn't. Isn't that true of all of us? Is there anyone here not shaking his head affirmatively?

Maybe I'm all alone up here. But the better we know ourselves, the more likely we are to say, God, you really shouldn't love me. And we all agree that naturally speaking, he shouldn't. The good news is he does. He does love you. And you are the object of his affection.

And you are number one on his list of things to take care of in this befuddled universe. Indeed, the very hair of your head is numbered. And as I look over the congregation today, I can see that for some of you, that might not be a big deal.

You might have your own hair numbered. And some of us are getting that way. You imagine the particular interest that God takes that not even a sparrow falls to the ground, but that the Heavenly Father notices it and sees that sparrow fall to the ground. So there is a time in this praying when you assure yourself.

This is a time when you worship God and you give him glory because of the fact that he exalts over you with praise, it says in the Old Testament. And so you're spending time thinking about what God has said and his promises in relationship to you, that you actually are valuable to God. Indeed, Jesus made the statement, he said that if your Heavenly Father takes care of the birds of the air, and they're here today and the grass is here today and it's gone tomorrow, will he not much more do so to you, O ye of little faith? For you are of more value than many sparrows. God cares about you. He cares about whom you should marry and he also cares about whom you should not marry and he cares equally. Isn't it better to seek him out?

I think so. Now we hurry on. You choose to assure yourself. You choose to ask of God.

Now this is where the requests come in. The Bible says this very clearly. Be anxious for nothing but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving. Let your requests be made known unto God. Now notice Paul does not give the same promise as Jesus. The promises of Jesus have certain conditions, certainly, and Paul has certain conditions.

But listen to this again. Be anxious for nothing but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, very important because you don't have faith unless you offer thanksgiving. Let your requests be made known unto God and the peace of God, which passes all understanding will keep your heart and mind through Jesus Christ. This has to do with commitment. This has to do with so surrendering our concerns.

In fact, I'm toying with the idea of preaching an entire message on that topic. This means that we so give ourselves and our situation to God that we no longer fret about it because we see it as completely in God's hand. So we do make our requests, but we bring those requests and we leave them submitted to the will and the plan of God.

We think of Jesus in Gethsemane. Father, if it be thy will, let this cup pass from me, but not as I will, but as thou wilt. You make the request and you submit it to God. Finally, choose to affirm your relationship. You affirm your relationship through taking a verse of Scripture with you throughout the day. You see, when you read, I know it is often said, you know, that a chapter a day keeps the devil away. Well, not really, not if you can't remember what you read the moment you finished reading it. What you do is you read it to look for a promise, to look for an affirmation.

And so that actually is put into your mind for the rest of the day and you savor it for the rest of the day. That's the verse. That's the promise that you camp on. And when this time is over, you leave, I say, on good terms with God. By that, I mean you leave in such a way that you say, Father, you know I have to go to work. I have to catch the L. You know I have to go to the bank or the office or the hospital or whatever. And so just know though that I'm not breaking fellowship with you.

We're going to keep in touch all day. That's the way you begin to seek God. You say, well, how much time does it take? Well, I'm not going to tell you how much time it's going to take.

Because if I gave you a time, it would be one more legalistic thing to do to fill your half hour or your 20 minutes or whatever. Let you and God to figure that out. You ask God how much time should this take?

It is amazing how a heavenly father can sometimes convey his will to a child who's willing to listen and to respond. Now here's what you do. You take this. That's why it's separate from the bulletin. Don't put it on your refrigerator unless you pray an awful lot before you open the door.

And that might not be entirely bad. This is for your reading room. This is for the wall where you pray. This might go into your Bible if this is what you need each time as you begin.

That might be a good place for it. But one thing is sure, this is considered very important as a guide. And it is only a guide. Sometimes these steps might be interspersed.

They might be different. But here is your guide and it'll introduce you to seeking God because remember what the Bible says. He rewards those who really do seek him out. Takes time, takes a render, can be painful.

But there's no way to compare the reward. Bottom line, knowing comes before asking. Knowing comes before asking. This is life eternal that they might know thee, the only true God and Jesus Christ whom thou has sent. Knowing comes before asking and God's will comes before our will.

That is essential. God's will comes before ours. A whole shift in the purpose of prayer. You say, well, Pastor Lutzer, you know, this message has just blown right past me because I don't think I even know God well enough, you know, to suddenly show up and say, here I am. And now I'm supposed to submit and you know, how do you even connect with a God like that? I mean, what's the first step?

How do you get into it? Well, so glad you asked once again. You're really thinking. Thank you.

Thank you so much for your thoughts. Here's a verse. It says in the book of Hebrews that we have boldness to enter into the most holy place.

That was known in the Old Testament as the Holy of Holies. We have boldness to enter into the most holy place by the blood of Jesus. That's the way you get to God. You acknowledge your sinfulness. You realize that you need redemption and forgiveness and Jesus Christ blood was shed specifically for the purpose to take away the sin of sinners. And I know that on that point you are eminently qualified whoever you are because we're all in the same boat when it comes to sin.

Born with it and do it. But that's the way you come. You come, I say, I come through the blood of Christ. I come to be forgiven. I come to be cleansed. I come to agree with God. And then you begin your journey of knowing him. And you look back in a year's time and I think I can say this is true of me. This is a little dangerous to say, but I really do believe that I know God better this year than I did last.

I certainly want to know God better in a year's time than I do now. Think of this. Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom. Let not the mighty man boast of his might.

Let not the rich man boast in his riches. But he who boasts, let him boast in this that he knoweth me and understandeth me for I execute loving kindness, judgment and righteousness on the earth. For in these things I delight, says the Lord.

Jeremiah chapter nine. Let us be people whose joy is God. And let us pray. Father, this congregation of Moody Church with all of its abilities and gifts and diversity, may we move together as one person coming to know you better. We ask, O Lord God, that you might use this message as a beginning point for us to be taught how to seek you. And your word assures us that if we seek, we find. And your word also, O Lord, gives us the assurance that you reward of those who seek you out.

Make it our passion. And may we be able to say with sincerity, knowing you, Jesus, knowing you, there is no greater thing. You're my all.

You're the best. You're my joy, my righteousness. And I love you, Lord. We pray in Jesus' name.

Amen. All I once held dear Built my life upon All His worldly fears And forced me All I once thought pain I have counted loss Meant and worthless now Compared to this Compared to this Knowing you, Jesus, knowing you, There is no greater thing You're my all You're the best You're my joy, my righteousness And I love you, Lord Now my heart's desire Is to know you, Lord To be found in you And known as yours To possess my pain What I could not earn Also passed here A righteous well Knowing you, Jesus, knowing you, There is no greater thing You're my all You're the best You're my joy, my righteousness And I love you, Lord Oh, to know the power of your grace On today's Moody Church Hour, Pastor Lutzer opened the Bible to give us insight on how to handle those times in our prayer lives when the answer is disguised. This has been the third of six messages on the triumph of unanswered prayer.
