Hello ,
In a world where instant gratification is
just a click away, how often do we find ourselves frustrated by the simple act of waiting? Whether it's for a text response, a job opportunity, or a personal breakthrough, the struggle to be patient can feel overwhelming.
When we choose to act on God’s Word, we align ourselves with His will, creating a pathway for His blessings to flow into our lives
and the lives of those around us.
This week's encouraging Word from the Lord will bless the body of Christ.
Slow Down to Experience God's Blessings
"Wait upon Me. As you wait I will strengthen you. I am strengthening you for what's ahead. If you choose not to wait upon Me, then you can miss out on Me strengthening
you.
"You decide each day what and who to wait on, right? Waiting is not something new for you.
"I have MUCH to reveal to you now.
"I am asking you to WAIT upon Me even more. Yes, you can rearrange your schedule. What I am about to show you will be revealed to you in your WAITING TIME.
"I promise you, the wait will be well worth it.
"If it seems like I
am leading you to SLOW DOWN, you are correct. I don't want you to miss out on the blessings that are already in your life. I want you to be aware of them and tell others of My goodness.
"Trust Me to help you slow down even more to wait upon Me. It's for your good, I promise
you. I know WHY I am doing this for you. It will benefit you and others around you.
"When you trust Me, you are surrendering your will for My will. Are you doing that each day? If not, you can start today.
"Would you rather have your will come to pass or Mine?
"Remember My Word says that whatever you do, you
do heartily unto Me. Jesus gave His ALL for you so can live FOR Me.
"I know what's going on all around the world. I know what's going on behind the scenes. I know what are lies and what is the truth. Would you like to know the difference?
"Then WAIT.
"Slow down and wait.
"You can do this through Christ who strengthens you.
"It is better to be patient than
be in a hurry and miss out on what I have for you and others. I am not in a rush. I am not in a hurry. Why would you be?
"You were created to imitate Me, true?
"I designed you to walk in peace and harmony with Me. Why would you walk in chaos if you could walk in peace with the Prince of Peace?"
-Your Patient, Peaceful Heavenly
Father
Encouragement
there is a reason the Lord is telling us to slow down and wait upon Him. Why would He
reveal this to us if we were not doing it every day?
If you are like me, I like to learn. But for some reason, I seem to be in a hurry to learn something. Why? Honestly, I feel like I am missing out on something. Have you ever felt that way?
The Lord wants me to ask you this:
Have you ever been in a hurry to wait upon the Lord?
Great question Lord.
In other words, have you tried to hurry up to get everything done, so you can wait in the presence of the Lord? Selah.
When I was growing up in Fargo, North
Dakota with my two brothers, there was only ONE night of the year that we were in a hurry to get the dishes done. Can you guess what that special night was?
We were KNEW that we were about to receive something we had been anticipating for weeks. It was 100% GUARANTEED.
Imagine if you felt that way as you slow down and wait upon the Lord. Can you see Him with His arms wide open ready to embrace you?
Well, if you need help, we've got you covered.
If you KNEW God was going to speak to your heart GUARANTEED and you HEAR His voice, would you then slow down and wait upon Him?
You may not know this, but hundreds have been able to hear God speak to their hearts EXACTLY what they needed at that moment by listening to
our Encountering Prayers aka Soaking Prayers.
Maybe you
have not heard God's voice before or you have not heard His voice in awhile. I know how that feels. One thing I do know for sure is that you CAN hear God's voice.
Jesus promises you that in John 10:27,
"My sheep hear My voice, I know them, and they follow Me." Since you are His sheep you HEAR His voice. And to make it easy for
you,
listen to our Encounter Prayers as you wait upon Your Lord.
Testimony Time
Do you remember what we shared with you in last week's Newsletter? We gave you the opportunity to watch one of our recorded workshops on how to hear God's voice.
We received this testimony from Steve who watched the teaching and how it changed his relationship with the Lord.
"Thank you for sharing how to hear our Lord. That was transformative for me. Now I am spending more time with my best friend, my Lord!"
you now have the opportunity to slow down, enter into the presence of the Lord, and
be transformed.
