Message || When God Waits || 3.25.26

What do you do when you've prayed, fasted, and believed — and the answer still hasn't come? Pastor Jason Hooper delivers a razor-sharp prophetic word drawn from John 11, Isaiah 30, 2 Corinthians 4, and 1 Peter 1: your delay is not God's denial. It is His divine display. With Passover days away, Pastor Jason declares this a kairos window for fourth-day miracles — a season where God is not just healing what was sick, but resurrecting what was buried. Those who have waited the longest are not the most forgotten. They are the most positioned. You are not coming out empty-handed. You are coming out with the plunder.

If you are in a season where the prayer feels too old to answer, this word is for you. Resurrection glory is not behind you. It is in front of you. Through the resurrection of Lazarus, Pastor Jason reveals why Jesus deliberately waited four days — not because He lacked compassion, but because He refused to settle for a healing when a resurrection was available. He walks through the contrasting postures of Martha and Mary, exposes the danger of unanswered prayer becoming offense (drawing a direct parallel to John the Baptist in Matthew 11), and identifies the spiritual process at work in every fire: dross rising, silver being refined, and God watching until He sees His own reflection. The waiting room, Pastor Jason declares, is not a waiting room. It is a work room.   🔥 IN THIS MESSAGE, YOU'LL DISCOVER: •       Why Jesus deliberately waited four days before raising Lazarus — and what it reveals about how God times His greatest miracles •       The difference between a healing and a resurrection, and why God refuses to settle for less than His full glory in your situation •       How the contrasting postures of Martha and Mary determined who was positioned for the answer they prayed for •       What John the Baptist's offense in prison reveals about the danger of letting unanswered prayer become bitterness •       The refining process from Proverbs 25 — why the fire is not rejection but preparation, and what God is looking for when He watches the silver •       How Isaiah 30, Romans 8:28–29, and 2 Corinthians 4 connect to show that God's purpose in waiting is conforming you to the image of His Son •       Why your waiting season is not a waiting room — it is a workroom where God does His best work when your options are spent •       The prophetic connection between Passover, the exodus plunder, and the current kairos window for fourth-day breakthrough •       How to shift from praying about the problem to calling the answer forth — with the confidence of John 11:41 •       A full altar activation: rolling away stones of fear, offense, and disappointment, and releasing prophetic declarations over your unanswered prayers   📣 If you are in a fourth-day season — if the prayer feels too old to answer and the situation looks like it has already been buried — this word is your turning point. Do not let what you haven't seen yet cause you to lose what you know. Believe. Rejoice. And watch God move.     Prayer is not passive. It is the posture that positions you for resurrection. Keep believing. Keep rejoicing. You will see the glory of God.   More Info: https://www.kingswayal.com Service Times: https://www.kingswayal.com/events Location: https://www.kingswayal.com/location Follow us on Socials Instagram:   / kings_way_church   Facebook:   / kingswaychurchbham   YouTube Channel    / @kingswaychurch   #kingswaychurch King’s Way Church has attained permission to stream this content under our CCLI Streaming license #22265099
