Have no fear, Daniel; for from the first day when you gave your heart to getting wisdom and making yourself poor in spirit before your God, your words have come to his ears: and I have come because of your words. Dan 10:13 But the angel of the kingdom of Persia put himself against me for twenty-one days; but Michael, one of the chief angels, came to my help; and when I came he was still there with the angel of the kings of Persia. Dan 10:14 Now I have come to give you knowledge of the fate of your people in the later days; for there is still a vision for the days. Dan 10:21 But I am going back to make war with the angel of Persia, and when I am gone, the angel of Greece will come. And there is no one on my side against these, but Michael, your angel. 1Th 2:18 because we would fain have come unto you, I Paul once and again; and Satan hindered us. Satan Uses to Delay and Hindrance. One of the favourite tools of the devil is delay. To delay means to defer, to postpone, to suspend, to pause. The devil uses delay to distract, discourage, and destroy. Exo 32:1 And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him, Up, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is become of him. 1Sa 13:8 Pitong araw siyang naghintay roon, tulad ng sinabi sa kanya ni Samuel; ngunit hindi pa rin ito dumarating. Ang mga kasama niya'y isa-isa nang umaalis, 1Sa 13:9 kaya't nagpakuha si Saul ng handog na susunugin at handog pangkapayapaan at siya na ang naghandog ng mga ito. 1Sa 13:10 Katatapos lamang niyang maghandog nang dumating si Samuel. Sinalubong siya ni Saul at binati. 1Sa 13:10 Katatapos lamang niyang maghandog nang dumating si Samuel. Sinalubong siya ni Saul at binati. 1Sa 13:13 Sinabi sa kanya ni Samuel, "Malaking kasalanan 'yang ginawa mo. Kung sinunod mo ang iniuutos sa iyo ni Yahweh na iyong Diyos, ang sambahayan mo sana ang maghahari sa buong Israel habang panahon. Num 16:14 Hanggang ngayo'y hindi mo pa kami nadadala sa lupaing mayaman at sagana sa lahat ng bagay, ni nabibigyan ng bukirin at ubasan na aming mana. Akala mo ba'y malilinlang mo pa kami? Hindi kami pupunta!" Num 16:31 Hindi pa halos natatapos sa pagsasalita si Moises ay bumuka na ang lupa, Num 16:32 at nilulon nang buhay sina Korah pati ang kanilang mga pamilya at mga ari-arian. Lam 3:25 The Lord is good to those who are waiting for him, to the soul which is looking for him. Lam 3:26 It is good to go on hoping and quietly waiting for the salvation of the Lord. Mic 7:7 Nguni't sa ganang akin, ako'y titingin sa Panginoon; ako'y maghihintay sa Dios ng aking kaligtasan: didinggin ako ng aking Dios. Psa 27:13 Ako sana'y nanglupaypay kundi ko pinaniwalaang makita ang kabutihan ng Panginoon. Sa lupain ng may buhay. Psa 27:14 Magantay ka sa Panginoon: ikaw ay magpakalakas, at magdalang tapang ang iyong puso; Oo, umasa ka sa Panginoon. Isa 40:31 Nguni't silang nangaghihintay sa Panginoon ay mangagbabagong lakas; sila'y paiilanglang na may mga pakpak na parang mga aguila; sila'y magsisitakbo, at hindi mangapapagod; sila'y magsisilakad, at hindi manganghihina. This biblical waiting is a form of spiritual discipline that calls for believers to patiently wait on the Lord. Most often the process of waiting is God’s very purpose for us- to mold our characters into Christ-likeness. Why is it difficult to wait? As a part of our fallen humanity, we are so prone to take matters into our own hands. Ecc 3:1 There is a right time for everything, and everything on earth will happen at the right time. Ecc 3:11 God gave us the ability to think about his world, but we can never completely understand everything he does. And yet, he does everything at just the right time. 1Th 2:18 because we would fain have come unto you, I Paul once and again; and Satan hindered us. Mat 16:23 Ngunit hinarap siya ni Jesus at sinabihan, "Umalis ka sa harapan ko, Satanas! Hadlang ka sa aking landas. Ang iniisip mo'y hindi sa Diyos kundi sa tao." Mat 23:13 "Kahabag-habag kayo, mga tagapagturo ng Kautusan at mga Pariseo! Mga mapagkunwari! Hinahadlangan ninyo ang mga tao upang hindi sila makapasok sa kaharian ng langit. Ayaw na ninyong pumasok, hinahadlangan pa ninyo ang mga nais pumasok! Luk 11:52 "Kahabag-habag kayo, mga dalubhasa sa kautusan! Sapagkat ipinagkakait ninyo ang susi ng kaalaman. Hindi na nga kayo pumapasok, hinahadlangan pa ninyo ang mga ibang nais pumasok." Act 13:8 Ngunit sinalungat sila ng salamangkerong si Elimas (ito ang pangalan ni Bar-Jesus sa wikang Griego) upang huwag sumampalataya ang gobernador. Act 13:9 Si Saulo, na tinatawag ring Pablo, ay puspos ng Espiritu Santo. Tinitigan niya si Elimas Act 13:10 at pinagsabihan, "Ikaw! Anak ka ng diyablo! Kaaway ka ng lahat ng mabuti! Puno ka ng pandaraya at kasamaan! Bakit ba lagi mong pinipilipit ang katotohanan tungkol sa Panginoon? Act 13:11 Ngayon, paparusahan ka niya! Mabubulag ka sa loob ng kaunting panahon."Noon di'y naramdaman ni Elimas na parang tinakpan ng maitim na ulap ang kanyang mga mata, at siya'y naghanap ng taong aakay sa kanya. 1Th 2:2 Alam ninyong hinamak kami't ininsulto sa Filipos, ngunit sa kabila ng maraming hadlang, binigyan kami ng Diyos ng lakas ng loob na ipahayag sa inyo ang Magandang Balita. 1Th 2:16 Hinahadlangan nila ang aming pangangaral na makakapagligtas sa mga Hentil. Umabot na sa sukdulan ang kanilang kasamaan, kaya't ngayon ay bumagsak na ang poot ng Diyos sa kanila. 1Th 2:16 Hinahadlangan nila ang aming pangangaral na makakapagligtas sa mga Hentil. Umabot na sa sukdulan ang kanilang kasamaan, kaya't ngayon ay bumagsak na ang poot ng Diyos sa kanila. Zec 4:6 He said, "This is the message from the LORD to Zerubbabel: 'Your help will not come from your own strength and power. No, your help will come from my Spirit.' This is what the LORD All-Powerful says. Zec 4:7 Maging ang pinakamalaking hadlang ay makikita ninyong maaalis. Muli mong itatayo ang templo at habang inilalagay mo ang kahuli-hulihang bato, magbubunyi ang mga tao at kanilang sasabihin, 'Napakaganda!' "
