God said to Elijah arise go to Zarephath for a have commanded a widow there to provide for you.
When he arrived the widow was there but God had not spoken to her previously telling her anything, she did not see o hear God.
When Elijah spoke to her asking for the bread, she said As the Lord your God lives, I do not have bread.
Did God make a mistake?
No, but the widow saw it as Elijah asking her for bread not God.
If God had appeared to her in person maybe she would have believed much faster but Elijah was a normal man, when he said thus says the Lord The bin of flour shall not be used up... She then went and did it and saw the results.
The same is happening with many people today, they look at the man and think this pastor is asking to much of me, God knows I cant do that etc...
If they would realise that is not the pastor but God they would act faster and the answer would be faster too.
After seen all God did through Elijah when her son was raised from the dead the widow said: "Now by this I know that you are a man of God, and that the word of the Lord in your mouth is truth." 1Kings 17:24
All those who believe the words that we are speaking, believe the words of God and when the results come they will say the same but first they have to hear and obey God's voice through the man of God.
May God bless you
