Well, just commit the matter to the Lord and start to pray in tongues. When we meditate upon our request and the delay experienced, while praying in tongues, the Holy Spirit would edify our spirit to use the right words against these principalities and powers that are blocking our blessings. When we continue to pray in tongues, God will release power from Heaven against these wicked spirits in response to the words uttered by the spirit, which our natural understanding could not do.
Today, these demonic powers manifest through humans to hinder the manifestation of our requests. For example, in case of selling your house, God would have raised a buyer with a desire to buy it. But a demonic spirit can hinder this buyer through his wife causing her to be against his decision. If you have not understood the real cause, you would give up your hopes in the long run. But still God would not intervene as we are supposed to fight against these demons for God to release power against them.
Even Jesus operated in Groaning in the Spirit in order to fight against the hindrances caused by unbelief of people. Look at the below scripture:
(John 11:32-33)
Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled,
Why was Jesus troubled when He saw the weeping of Mary and the Jews?
Jesus had known right at the moment Lazarus was dead. Three days before Jesus came to see Lazarus body, Jesus told his disciples that Lazarus is dead.
(Joh 11:14)
Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.
But, it was ordained by God that Jesus would raise Lazarus from the dead. But still, Jesus was troubled when He saw the weeping of Mary and other Jews as their unbelief that Jesus would never raise a dead body after three days, would hinder God to release power from Heaven to raise Lazarus from the dead.
Jesus suddenly started to groan in the Spirit by fighting against all demonic influences that would be empowered by this great unbelief. However, Jesus was troubled as the unbelief was so great among the people. He was so troubled that He finally cried. But people thought He was crying as He loved Lazarus. If Jesus were to raise Lazarus from the dead, why should He cry over his death???
(John 11:35-42)
Jesus wept. Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him! And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died? Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it. Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days. Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God? Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
If you carefully read the above passage of the Scripture, you can see Jesus thanking God for having heard Him. What does this mean? For The Father to hear, The Son should have spoken. Of course, The Son had communed with The Father in the Spirit. Jesus groaned in the Spirit asking the Father to release power to raise Lazarus from the dead in the midst of this great unbelief.
CONCLUSION
So, you need not go mad with God for not receiving what you have asked for. Instead, start to pray in tongues asking the spirit to intercede on your behalf. Remember, we have a great battle against these spiritual forces all the time until we go to be with the Lord.
(Eph 6:12)
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
God would never undertake this battle on our behalf as God has already done His part by giving us the authority and power to fight and win this battle, by sacrificing His Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ.
