Spiritually, we have also been affected to the point that we expect immediate, miraculous answers to superficial prayers. Few have any real any real tenacity these days, any real determination to press through, to "stick it out" until they see the desired result. By patient, enduring faith is what God desired to build in us the opposite of today's "instant" faith.
Many try "the walk of faith," but because it does not work instantly, they give up and continue in unbelief. Some react by living in a fantasy world of faith clichés, shallow confessions, and vain hopes, never pressing on to real faith. When coming across this opposition of faith, this godless environment, he did not even pretend to have any quick answers, He knew that he had a fight on his hands. because he saw that the one afflicted had "faith to be healed," he stayed.
Some places exist where we can do nothing because the people are so opposed in spirit and in mind to God's will through their unbelief. Scripture tells us that this affected even Jesus: "Now He did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief" (Matthew 13:58). But saw some faith here, and willing to press through to victory.
However, God is looking for a people possessed and controlled by Spirit, a people who will be led Him through every situation to enduring and determined faith. This generation, which is to rise up to the call of the last days, needs to be "rooted and grounded in love" (Ephesians 3:17) that produces tenacious, saying faith. The Question rings out louder than ever before in this instant generation, "when the Son of Man comes, will he really find faith on the earth?" (Luke 28:8).
Through hearing from God and obeying His voice, learned to press through, to have enduring faith. and spent the whole day in breaking the unbelief, "in prayer and ministering the Word." When he heard from the spirit of God that faith had been build, assurance came. God gave Him a vision, and the power was released. learn to obey God's Word to the extent that he continued in spiritual warfare until the battle was won and victory was obtained. Build your Faith that arounds you and watched as God Moved. When you live "clothed with" (2 Corinthians 5:2) the Spirit of God and are controlled by Him, you are not controlled by circumstances or unbelief you may see the circumstances and feel the unbelief, but you are not controlled by them.
God will direct you in each individual situation, then stand in faith. And pray. What ever needed for the specific circumstances will be revealed to you by the guidance of Holy Spirit. And you have your instant Victory.
