God doesn't need our permission in order for him to move in certain ways.

We may argue and that correctly that our prayers are required for God to carry out his will on the earth after all that is the whole essence of prayer which is "thy will be done on the earth as it is in heaven" and if therefore prayer is required then God still needs our cooperation.

Matthew 6:9-10 (KJV)
"9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven."

That conclusion is scriptural however we shouldn't forget he placed his Spirit within you as our intercessor so that he could pray out his will on the earth through us without us even knowing the exact things we are praying for.

Romans 8:26-27 (KJV)
"26 Likewise, the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God"

We pray out things that are much deeper than our minds can conceive except as revealed by the Spirit.

This, therefore, suggests we may have prayed out things by the Spirit that we will have to catch up with in our understanding.

Results may, therefore, appear in our lives and around us by the Spirit's intercession through us, which when we see we may not at first understand.

These things will be deeper than our present understanding of the scriptures, and if not taught, we may find ourselves attacking it using our limited understanding of the scriptures.

It is important therefore that when we see something around us occurrences that seems to have an invisible hand working in it giving supernatural results and we are unsure because our understanding has never conceived it, our first response should be to go to God in prayer to give us a scriptural understanding of what is happening.

Whether he shows us that it is a prophetic word being fulfilled or that this is not of him, whichever it is, we must go to God..cont'd in comment

Whether he shows us that it is a prophetic word being fulfilled or that this is not of him, whichever it is, we must go to God to ask when we see things move supernaturally that we don't understand.

It is imperative to understand that because you may not initially agree with a thing, it then must be wrong, is an assumption that can be very costly.
This is how the "old" has always missed the "new" God is doing. Not everything new is of God, but there are new things he does that the old will struggle with.

The irony is that you may find yourself fighting what the Spirit of God through groanings prayed out of you.
