When God Works on Both Sides

Have you ever prayed for something, wondering when or how God would answer? Many of us focus on our side of the prayer—our needs, our struggles, our waiting. But what if God is already working on the other side, orchestrating the answer before we even finish praying?

In this powerful message, Pastor Steven Pettis Jr. unpacks Acts 9:10-12, revealing how God worked simultaneously in the lives of Saul and Ananias. Just as Saul was praying for direction, God was preparing Ananias to be the answer. This truth echoes throughout Scripture—from Joseph’s journey to Egypt to Cornelius and Peter in Acts 10—showing that God’s timing is always perfect.

Through this sermon, you’ll be challenged to trust God’s process, embrace divine interruptions, and respond in obedience even when His instructions seem difficult. Whether you’re waiting on a breakthrough, seeking clarity, or struggling with fear, be encouraged—God is working on both sides!

Key Takeaways:

God prepares people and circumstances before we even ask (Isaiah 65:24).

Delays are often divine setups for something greater.

Faith is not the absence of fear but obedience despite fear.

Prayer should be our first response, not our last resort.

Join us as we explore how God’s perfect plan unfolds, even in the waiting.
