Healing the Lame Beggar
3 Now Peter and John were going up to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour (3:00 p.m.), 2 and a man who had been unable to walk from birth was being carried along, whom they used to set down every day at that gate of the temple which is called [a]Beautiful, so that he could beg alms from those entering the temple. 3 So when he saw Peter and John about to go into the temple, he began asking [them] for coins. 4 But Peter, along with John, stared at him intently and said, “Look at us!” 5 And the man began to pay attention to them, eagerly expecting to receive something from them. 6 But Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have; but what I do have I give to you: In the name (authority, power) of Jesus Christ the Nazarene—[begin now to] walk and go on walking!” 7 Then he seized the man’s right hand with a firm grip and raised him up. And at once his feet and ankles became strong and steady, 8 and with a leap he stood up and began to walk; and he went into the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God. 9 All the people saw him walking and praising God; 10 and they recognized him as the very man who usually sat begging for coins at the Beautiful Gate of the temple, and they were filled with wonder and amazement and were mystified at what had happened to him.

When we hear the Word of God spoken, read aloud or even while we read to ourselves, we should have an Expectancy that God will not only answer yet also pour out blessings within the answer as it is ALWAYS a blessing to be moved by the Spirit of God.

What is it that you are believing God for? You can choose to be specific if you want but if being less open to giving specifics that is totally okay as well. In this I will respond with my answer in a couple days after so as to give others to glorify God with their experience with the Lord speaking in their lives through the Word.

... that God will answer what?

If we ask Him a question or make a request, then it makes sense to expect an answer. Your statement does not have a question or request as a preamble.

That God's goal will be accomplished in full truth to us the people.
to believe God willingly in risen Son Jesus
First God by Son did take away sin at his son's willing death for us the people all of us to either believe that or not consciously. (John 1:29) (John 19:30)
That part got finished being under Law to see to uphold Law, God's Law of Love (1 Cor 13:4-7) to trust God to impart, impute that love in us, each person personally, between God and them and become one with Father and Son by this miraculous gift given us. Seeing Eph 2 telling us what we become humbly so, thank you
Therefore grow up in God's Love, ask for to be mature and not unskillful in milk anymore. Time to eat meat, Spiritual meat
As Jesus said to his disciples when they wanted him to sit and eat. He replied I have food you do not know of yet. today he is risen where new life is given to eat from God Father's Table having a four foot fork and spoon and knife, what????????????????? yes, so you can feed others there too.
Not using small utensils, where one can be selfish as are on the evil enemies table.
yet we can be viewed as selfish from others too, if we do not give them as wanted as you posted about in Acts 3, peoples expectations are not always God's revelation for them.
Jeremiah 29:11
God only wants what is best for us all. Now if one does not get, why??????????????????
Could it be it is not good for them to get that yet? Only God knows and I see to only trust God in that, so if God says to give or not give I am learning to hear truth over error daily. being willing has turned the tide for me at least thanks for the post
