Please click to watch the video now.Greetings in the mighty name of Jesus! 

Have you ever had to wait on God for something? 

We all have. And it’s not usually our favorite part of our walk with God. 

In today’s video, “When, God, When?”, we teach about the importance of waiting on God, and how learning to wait on Him properly helps Him move on our behalf. 

We hope you enjoy it and that it brings some understanding to this aspect of walking with God.

Enjoy your day!

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-22-22

Proverbs 3:5-6 (NKJV) 5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.

We are in unknown territory. We don’t know what to expect. Phew… it’s challenging. It is causing us to trust God in a whole new way.

As you may know, we recently moved. And it was a big move!

Most of our old routines are gone. We are starting from scratch, you could say.

Even where I would pray in the morning has changed.

Everything we were so used to is gone. Nothing is in its usual place, if you know what we mean.

It’s not anything that any one person can help with. It hits everyone differently. But one thing we have in common is that change is change!

If it is change that God has brought, we either go with it or we stop moving forward.

God will bring change to us in different ways at different times. Some changes aren’t that hard and we enjoy them. We welcome then with open arms.

Some are changes that will cause us to feel like we cannot do it. Those changes will make us or break us. We will either go the full distances or faint on the way.

But, on this journey I have learned not to faint or be ashamed if you feel you can’t do it on your own, because those are the moments we make a very difficult choice; a choice to let go of what we know and lean on Him.

He will give us things at times that are impossible for us in our human strength to do or to bear.

But He does not want us to do it on our own. In fact, we can’t do it on our own.

What are you doing today that requires you to have God’s strength, wisdom, and joy to fulfill His plan in your life?

Don’t get down on yourself because you don’t have what it takes. Reach out for His hand. He planned it, He has the answers.

Isaiah 40:28 (NKJV) 28 Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, The Creator of the ends of the earth, Neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable.

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-10-22

Psalm 46:10 (NKJV) 10 Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!

During these last few weeks, those two words, “be still”, have been critical to my walk with God and my everyday life in the natural.

Seasons of change or times of trial can make us want to do things that we might not normally do.

When we’re facing the unknown and we don’t understand everything we’re seeing, we tend to want to take things into our own hands. We may begin making rash decisions. We might want to run away. Or we may feel like God has abandoned us.

It’s those times of change and difficulty, though, when we need to do the opposite. Instead of running away, hiding, trying to take control or feeling abandoned, we need to hold tightly to God, letting Him lead us through the changes we’re facing.

It’s not always easy to do. In fact, it can be downright difficult sometimes.

Our flesh fights us, almost as though it’s our enemy. And in some ways, it is. The flesh wars against our spirit as our spirit works to follow the Spirit of God. It’s a never-ending battle that can tire us out if we let it.

But instead of wrestling constantly, sometimes the best thing we can do is to stay still.

It’s in the stillness that we can hear God best. This is why it’s so important that we not get frantic, but quell our emotions as they try to lead us down roads of fear and doubt.

And as we learn to do this, to listen for the Spirit of God, and let Him lead, we will begin to walk in the peace of God that surpasses all understanding, allowing us to move forward on the path He has set before us.

Philippians 4:6-7 (NKJV) 6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-31-21

Isaiah 31:1 (NKJV) 1 Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, And rely on horses, Who trust in chariots because they are many, And in horsemen because they are very strong, But who do not look to the Holy One of Israel, Nor seek the Lord!

People put their trust in many things.

And as we watch the world deteriorate before our very eyes, we see people moving further and further away from trusting God and putting their trust more heavily in man and governments.

While this is extremely frustrating to watch, it is to be expected to some degree because of the season in which we live.

God’s word has told us that this would happen. He spells it out plainly in many ways.

But know this; putting our trust in anyone other than God himself is a slippery slope that will ultimately lead to destruction.

The season in which we are living requires that we have discernment, and that we are diligent in our efforts to stay in tune with His spirit.

Doing so gives us an inside edge to see things that others may not see, and to make choices and decisions based not on intellect, but on God-given wisdom and understanding.

God comes first in all things. His ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts higher than our thoughts.

There is none like Him on the earth below or in the heavens above.

Amen

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-29-21

2 Corinthians 5:7 (NKJV) 7 For we walk by faith, not by sight.

Walking by faith is easy to envision and easy to talk about, until we actually have to do it.

But when the rubber meets the road, some things aren’t quite what we may have pictured in our minds.

Most of you are aware that God picked us up and moved us to a new land, 750 miles from where we had lived all our lives.

Our roots in New England were deep, having been there for decades. Everything was intimately familiar to us. And I mean everything!

As we made the move to our new homeland, we were excited, expectant and maybe even a little scared.

We were not scared because we lacked faith. We were not scared of the unknown. But we were scared because we didn’t know how we would react to such a change.

The place God moved us to was not a place we chose. He chose it for us. And because it was His choice for us, we didn’t know what to expect.

As we made the 12 1/2 hour drive to our new location, everything went flawlessly. The drive was peaceful and uneventful, as we had prayed and asked God for.

But a few days later, as we moved into our new home and began to work toward settling in, we must admit that there were moments when we felt like the rug had been pulled from under us as we tried to find something familiar to grab hold of.

Everything felt like a whirlwind as we tried to find a firm foothold in the natural. Nothing was familiar. Even trying to find everyday things in the house was confusing and even frustrating.

But God is faithful, even in these types of situations. And as I literally asked Him to give me something even a little familiar to grab hold of, He reassured me that everything would be fine. And it was.

Now, just a day later, I have total peace. Not because everything suddenly fell into place. But because I recognized my fragility as a human and surrendered it to Him.

This is where the power comes in the lives of believers; not in being spiritual superheroes, but in being completely surrendered to Him and being able to recognize our weaknesses and in bowing before Him where we lay them at His feet.

Go to Him. Lay those things that we wrestle with at His feet. And surrender them to Him.

He will walk us through those moments (or seasons) of fear, apprehension and frailty. And He will replace all of those things that trouble us with His peace as we do so.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-16-21

Luke 1:34 (NKJV) 34 Then Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I do not know a man?”

In verse 31 of this chapter, an angel came to Mary and told her that she would conceive in her womb and bring forth a Son, and His name would be Jesus.

How can this be?

Notice that Mary did not ask if this could be. She wanted to know how, expressing her concerns based on her current situation. How can this be, seeing that I have not been with a man?

Her intellect was trying to understand all of this. She believed God could do it. She was just curious as to how.

Luke 1:38 (NKJV) 38 Then Mary said, “Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.

There will be things in life that we will not necessarily understand how they can happen if we look at them based on our own understanding.

But God is able to do above and beyond all that we know!

Maybe we are in a certain season right now, and we feel completely lost and don’t know how things are going to turn around.

Remember this one verse; “Let it be according to your word”!

God knows how and when to carry out His plans in our lives. We just have to make sure we don’t get stuck in the uncertainties.

If we can learn to do this, we will watch it be birthed. A miracle is easy for Him!

Make sure that we don’t get stuck in the “how can it be?”.

It’s OK to ask. But be sure to trust God to do whatever it is He is showing us. Then we need to continue to take the necessary steps to get there, or keep on believing Him even if we don’t see any steps in front of us to take.

Have faith. If Mary did not believe in what the angel spoke to her on that day, she would not have been the one to give birth to our savior.

If God is saying something to us, and we don’t quite understand how it can be, don’t doubt Him. Ask Him to give you the understanding, and let Him do it His way and in His timing. Amen

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-11-21

Proverbs 3:5-6 (NKJV) 5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.

Sometimes we may feel like we need to do something, and it isn’t something we ever thought we would do.

Maybe, for instance, we feel like we’re supposed to move to a new area. Or maybe we feel prompted to leave a certain job.

Maybe we even feel led to tell someone something that is hard to say, and we don’t want to be the one in that position.

Most times when we are feeling like this, it is God leading our spirit. But our mind is saying, “what? Why did I just do that? I don’t get it. That’s not what I ever thought I’d do”.

It is often because God is leading our actions. And He will bring understanding as we follow. He will make the picture clear if we move with Him and trust that He will guide us all the way through.

We can’t be stuck in our ways. Sometimes He does ask us to do something we’d never think of doing. That’s why we need Him; to accomplish those things that are out of our comfort zone!

He will take us down roads that will blow our minds if we trust Him with all our heart.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-8-21

Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV) 11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Sometimes God’s plans can be scary when we see them beginning to play out in our lives.

Our carnal minds can’t comprehend what’s happening. We may even question God and what He’s doing.

As children of God, we often seek Him and ask Him to guide us. But when He does, we don’t always recognize it. Especially at the onset.

Because it’s something new, we deem it as foreign. And if we’re not careful, we may even attribute it to the enemy, thinking that it’s bad for us.

But this is where our faith in God comes in. We have to test what we’re seeing and hearing, and then trust Him, allowing the Holy Spirit to show us what’s truly happening.

And we have to remember that God knows better than we do when it comes to guiding our steps and providing for us.

So, when we see things happening that seem out of the ordinary, or a bit scary because they’re unfamiliar, we need to let Him be God and do what He does best.

Remember; His ways are not our ways, and His thoughts are not our thoughts.

Isaiah 55:9 (NKJV) 9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts.

Trust Him.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-2-21

Daniel 3:29 (NKJV)  29 Therefore I make a decree that any people, nation, or language which speaks anything amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made an ash heap; because there is no other God who can deliver like this.”

God revealed Himself to king Nebuchadnezzer by delivering these three men, Shadrach, Meshack and Abed-Nego, after they had been thrown into a fiery furnace.

They came out with not even a hair singed on any of them. And they did not even smell like smoke!

This made a big impression on the king. He and many others saw God move that day.

What an amazing moment! I love how the King asked, “didn’t we put three men in the furnace? But, I see four, and the fourth is like the Son of God”.

Daniel 3:25 (NKJV) 25 “Look!” he answered, “I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire; and they are not hurt, and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.”

I would have been shouting at that moment! Woohoo!!

Why did God deliver them? Because they trusted Him. Because they were loyal to Him, and because they would not bow and worship a statue. They stood their ground.

Let us ponder on this today and ask ourselves; would we have been willing to stand up for what we believe, knowing that if we did, we may suffer severe consequences?

It’s hard to imagine that someday we may face such decisions. But know that if that day ever comes, like it did for Shadrach, Meshack and Abed-Nego, God is our deliverer.

Be brave and don’t cave in. He will be there with us. Amen.
