Patience (8.19.18)

For when GOD made promise to Abraham because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself, Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee. And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise. - Hebrews 6:13-15 


Faith Believers,
The Lord understands how hard it is for us to wait for His Promises, especially when it seems that everything around us is falling apart. Sometimes, the Lord will wait before He blesses us; in order to teach us how to glory in tribulations.  So that we can understand that the tribulations we endure strengthen our patience.  And patience, experience.  And experience hope. We cannot allow the things we see with our eyes to cause us to lose hope and give up before we receive our blessings.  We must hope for what we do not see, and the only way to do this is with patience.

Isaiah 30:18 - And therefore will the LORD wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the LORD is a GOD of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him.

Hebrews 10:36-37 - For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of GOD, ye might receive the promise. For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.

Remember what the angel told Daniel, From the moment we set our heart to seek the Lord for an answer to our problems, He hears us - Daniel 10:12.  Just because the answer doesn’t come when expected, doesn’t mean that the Lord hasn’t heard our prayer.  We must hold fast to our confession of faith and patiently wait on the Lord.

What we think is a delay is "patience" doing a perfect work in our life.  We need to allow "patience" to do her thing and stop trying to get ahead of the Lord by taking matters into our own hands and forcing things to happen.

Patiently wait, and the Lord will bring you out into a better place. 

Hear God's Still Small Voice:

My Child,
I’ve spoken to you about a breakthrough that’s in your midst, and
     you are wondering why this breakthrough hasn’t manifested.

My Child, do not be weary, for My Promises are indeed coming to fruition. A little more patience is what you need at this moment. There is no reason to get into a rush because you are in a holding pattern. I know patience isn’t always easy to come by; therefore, continually ask Me to renew your strength as you wait.

I know you may not fully understand the process of what I Am doing. However, have faith in Me, and trust Me with every little detail. I have never failed. Please know, I have not forgotten you. Do not let this battle cause you to despair; but seek Me to find comfort and strength in your time of need.

Immerse yourself in My Word and allow it to feed and fuel your spirit, while you patiently wait for your breakthrough.

You will not be defeated.
Believe My Words shall come to pass. 

Have patience, come to Me, rest in My Arms
     and know that I am bringing healing and
     deliverance in every area of your life.
