WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING
The title of today’s episode: Waiting For God’s Timing
Imagine what a long night of waiting it was for the children of Israel when the death angel was passing over the land. It must have seemed like a week. The anticipation of being set free from bondage must have been hard to wait out. They had waited a long time for their freedom. They were obedient and waited. What if they had gotten impatient and left the safety of their homes? The alternative would have been devastating.
What if Noah got anxious to get out of the boat before it was time? The story would have been a lot different.
We can’t give up now. God is doing some amazing things in the earth. America is in the middle of major changes. It is easy to let our human reasoning get in our way. We cannot allow fear to overtake our faith. God is in control.
Where would the three Hebrew men have been if they had looked at the flames? Where would Rahab been if she was afraid and started to run out of the city. Instead of staying under her roof where to men of God told them to stay. But they all had enough courage to be patient and wait to see what God was going to do. We are standing in such a moment. We have to remember that no matter what the news says, we have to wait upon the Lord. We are his people and he will take care of us.
Isaiah 40:31 But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
This is everyone’s go to verse when we think about waiting on the Lord. We need to be encouraged that he will renew our strength. The hard part for us is to not fall into fear.
We have to walk through a fiery trial to make sure we are ready for the promotion God has for us. Soon there will be a large number of people coming into the church. They are going to need us to be their examples of Christ.
As difficult as the truth can be to face sometimes, we must find the strength to listen. God himself will give us discernment if we ask him for truth. Because God is truth, He cannot lie. He wants us to know the truth.
John 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
Jesus is our truth. He will show us the way to go. His Spirit within us will lead and guide us. We just have to be sure to listen to the still small voice.
We love to quote what Mordecai said to Esther as an encouragement to approach the King… who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?
Esther 4:11-14 All the king’s servants, and the people of the king’s provinces, do know, that whosoever, whether man or women, shall come unto the king into the inner court, who is not called, there is one law of his to put him to death, except such to whom the king shall hold out the golden sceptre, that he may live: but I have not been called to come in unto the king these thirty days. 12 And they told to Mordecai Esther’s words. 13 Then Mordecai commanded to answer Esther, Think not with thyself that thou shalt escape in the king’s house, more than all the Jews. 14 For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father’s house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?
I would say the same to you. God could have created you and me at any point in history. He put us on this earth at this time in history. We are the generation to see the coming of the Lord. I am sure many would argue that people have been saying that for years. But look how much closer we are to the end.
God is our deliverer; he is getting ready to come and get his bride. But she is not quite ready, there are too many divisions in the bride. She has wrinkles and spots; because of what we have allowed to enter the church. It is time we took a stand against the enemy and took back the pulpits. It is time for us to be bold and speak the word of God in love.
Prov 15:1 A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.
Speak the truth in love and pray for the lost. Stand strong, ask for discernment in this time in which we are living. God will not fail us. He will lift us up. Together we can win the lost to Christ before it’s too late.
Until next time,
BE BOLD, BE BRAVE AND KEEP YOUR GOD FOCUS
