You win, if you don’t quit!
Dear Friends,
“It’s by faith and patience that we inherit the promises” (Heb. 6:12)
That’s a word that God spoke to me (Mark) last week.
It’s always encouraging to hear the Holy Spirit. He knows what we need, and He knows how to speak into our hearts.
The word “inherit”, by the way, means to receive what has been assigned to us.
I love it when things happen fast. We pray and there’s faith for the NOW. We believe and it manifests immediately. But it doesn’t always happen that way. More often there’s a process, a journey that we have to walk along. And through the journey God is training us, developing our character, purifying our hearts, drawing us closer to Him…
It’s more like a marathon than a 100-metre sprint!
That word from the Holy Spirit, really did encourage us. It helped us to see where we are on the journey. We’re in this place of WAITING…. Waiting for the next step, waiting for Him, waiting expectantly.
Everything has slowed down over the past 18 months. We would have loved to have finished the building by now, but it doesn’t work like that. We do what we can, but God is still working behind the scenes. He is teaching us to be dependent upon Him, to walk in HIS time, not ours.
The set time
Abraham was 75 years old when God called him. God promised he would become a great nation and that all the nations of the earth would be blessed through Him. And then He had to wait 25 years (!!). God had a SET TIME for Isaac to be born. And that time was when Abraham was 100.
Sarah became pregnant and bore a son to Abraham in his old age, at the SET TIME God had promised him. (Gen.21:2)
The word “SET TIME” in Hebrew means an appointed time. A date that God has set in His calendar. You can’t move it forward, no matter how hard you try!
I believe there’s a set time when God will move the Prayer House from the physical building phase to the operational phase. We honestly don’t know when that will be, but inside we’re waiting for it!
I think many of us go through this process of waiting. Many of us have promises that are still unfulfilled. God has called us, but nothing seems to be happening. If that’s you, don’t give up! Keep going! We win if we don’t quit!
