Waiting Season
My child when you are in a season of preparation – waiting on the Lord it can seem like a very long season. My perfect time to promote you is crucial to your future. If you try to open doors instead of going to your knees and birthing out this New Season and allowing the Holy Spirit to open the doors it will only delay your process and the length of this season. (Revelation 3:8) The vision must die because it was never your dream – it’s Mine! When I give you the vision it’s always followed by a dark, dark season for there are things in you that must die before you are a usable vessel such as pride, idol worship, forgiveness, anger, jealousy, envy, revenge, lack of integrity, self-sufficiency, lusts of the flesh, fear, sin, iniquity, and transgression. Yes, your flesh must die! Trust Me through this process.
I want to increase your faith – where is your faith if you lean on or ask people for help? If you rely on people to help you that is as big as your faith will ever be – but if you trust Me and wait on Me, your supply will be unlimited, and your faith will soar. Though the vision is slow in coming, wait for it shall surely come to pass. (Habakkuk 2:2-3) Attacks may come but do not be moved. Why? When the enemy identifies the gift in you, his attacks will intensify but you must dwell in the Secret Place close to the Father in this season. (Psalms 91:1)
Joseph waited 13 long years in a prison cell – innocent yet he made a decision if he had to go to prison, he was going to be the best prisoner they had and he served others with excellence until the appointed day came when he was promoted to second in command in the nation of Egypt. (Genesis 41) He learned a Key to the Kingdom: ‘you must first serve before you can lead!’ (Matthew 23:11)
David waited for 15 years before he became King. Before I give someone that kind of authority – you are tested to see if you are worthy of the call. (Psalms 105:19) Man looks on the outer appearance but I look at the intents and motivation of your heart. (1 Samuel 16:7) I prove and refine your character before you are promoted, (1 Peter 1:7) this leads to you being faithful to Me all the days of your life.
Abram went through 13 long years of silence, He couldn’t hear My voice – he was stripped of self-sufficiency and making it happen on his own, no longer relying on his own common sense. Those years of silence were a time of discipline, not a period of My displeasure. Wait on Me and get rooted and grounded in My Word. When you agree with Me – miracles will happen! (Genesis 16:16 & Genesis 17:1) My Son Jesus waited 15 long years teaching in the synagogue (Luke 4:15) before His ministry began and it only lasted 3 ½ years. His ministry was all about serving – not being seen or served – that’s what ministry is: SERVING OTHERS! It’s not about you! It’s ALL about Christ Jesus and making Him famous throughout the earth. Whatever you do – do it unto Me, with the right attitude and do it with excellence and one day you will find yourself promoted. The anointing comes with a heavy price – it will cost you! If you’re not sure where you are – you are most likely in the Season of Preparation which means you are waiting! Don’t rush it!
