KEY STATEMENT:
God does not only answer prayers. He also answers questions.
1st CASE JOSHUA
# After Joshua lost his battle against the people of Ai, the Bible says that He went in the presence of God to ask him questions. He wanted to know the reason of the defeat.
Joshua 7:7 (GW) Joshua said, "ALMIGHTY LORD, WHY did you bring these people across the Jordan River? Was it to hand us over to the Amorites so that they could destroy us? I wish we had been content to live on the other side of the Jordan!
God heard him and answered his question. He revealed the hidden cause.
Joshua 7:10-11 (GW) 10 The Lord said to Joshua, "Get up! WHAT ARE YOU DOING BOWING ON THE GROUND? 11 ISRAEL HAS SINNED. They have ignored the requirements that I have placed on them. They have taken what I claimed for myself and put it among their own goods. They have not only stolen, but they have also lied.
2nd CASE DAVID
Many times in his life, David used to ask God questions about what to do and where to go. Every time, God answered him and showed him the way forward.
In 2 Samuel 2:1 the Bible says, that "DAVID ENQUIRED OF THE LORD, saying, Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah? AND THE LORD SAID UNTO HIM, Go up. And David said, Whither shall I go up? And he said, Unto Hebron.
We read in 2 Samuel 5:19 that "DAVID ENQUIRED OF THE LORD, saying, Shall I go up to the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? AND THE LORD SAID UNTO DAVID, Go up: for I will doubtless deliver the Philistines into thine hand."
Again concerning David, when we read in 1 Chronicles 14:10, And DAVID ENQUIRED OF GOD, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? AND THE LORD SAID UNTO HIM, Go up; for I will deliver them into thine hand.
Verse 14 Therefore DAVID ENQUIRED AGAIN OF GOD; AND GOD SAID UNTO HIM, Go not up after them; turn away from them, and come upon them over against the mulberry trees.
3rd CASE THE DISCIPLES OF JESUS CHRIST
After the disciples failed to cast out an evil spirit, they came before the Lord to ask him the why of their failure.
The Bible says in Matthew 17:19 "Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out?"
Jesus heard them and answered their question as we read in Matthew 17:21"Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting."
