Hope in the waiting!
We live in an day and age when no-one likes to wait.
Am I correct?
I mean if you order a package from amazon and they guarantee 1 day delivery but it takes 2 we get upset
If you have to wait in line for anything you get perturbed.
except maybe Timmies
those lines seem to go on forever
Waiting is a fact of life, often outside of your control.
and maybe that’s why we don’t like it
But waiting isn’t all bad, waiting can be good.
When infused with Hope, waiting builds anticipation
without hope, waiting seems like a waste of time
In Nazi germany they carried out heinous experiments on prisoners
ILL Story of moving blocks from one side of the yard to the other
the intent was to remove hope from the prisoners.
So there are some obvious benefits to waiting
What I wan to talk about today is
What do we do When we are waiting on God for something
What do I mean by that?
Well many of us are waiting on God for an answer.
whether it is a healing, a miracle, a release of financial provision, a job, the salvation of a loved one.
The list can go on and on, of things we are simply waiting on God to do.
And it is very easy to get discouraged when we have to wait.
So what are we supposed to do while we are waiting?
First thing to understand is their is always a reason to wait.
Secondly we may never know that reason this side of Heaven
So Jesus said in
Waiting is part of the character building process.
Is gives greater value to the answer when it comes
but that’s little comfort when your in the middle of it.
This is what I want to focus on today!
Take Courage
If hope can be removed, discouragement can easily set in
What I see in the Spirit is this is exactly what the enemy is focusing on today
I believe the satan is actively trying to push discouragement on God’s people
Now this is not a new thing.
its been his tactic since the formation of the church, and even before
Today I believe he is heightening his efforts because the devil is afraid of this next move of God on the earth, and is doing everything he can to delay it
If we look at the word DISCOURAGE
DIS - COURAGE
It means to remove courage
What is courage?
Courage is the determination to do what God has called you to do
Often we think of courage, for a solider, firefighter, or police officer
but you should understand you are constantly on the front line of the greatest battle ever to be fought.
ILL walking around on the front lines getting hit…blaming God
What is a Fortress?
(Stronghold)
What you believe can prevent God from doing what He wants to do
That’s only 1 reason
Just because we cannot see the battle with our eyes does not mean it doesn’t exit
If the enemy can discourage you, you will be unable to do what God wants you to do
