If you are like me, you are seemingly floating between a word from God and the manifestation of its truth. A perplexing balance of obedience, trust and patience. It’s not a comfortable place and definitely not an exciting one either. There are things God has shown me that are supposed to take place in my own life and I know I’m not alone.

There is so much “noise” resonating around us, that standing true to wait on HIS promise can get us to question if we even heard correctly. The constant chatter of opinions and self doubt try to get us to abort our promise before it is even seen.

The world around us is charged with restlessness, fatigue, doubt, hate and rebellion. Moral principle with Godly values are not even allowed to surface for air. The church has become divided allowing political opinions with racial undertones to separate us from our brothers and sisters. The world of technology has imprisoned us to isolation and made everyone a prophet and voice of their own opinion. We are no longer moved by the hurt or pain of someone unless it’s gone viral. Social media has become our guide to truth.

Years ago judgement came to the church and we saw many a ministry shaken by the media exposing the flaws of men. Today the flaws of the secular world are being revealed and disclosed. There is a shaking and shifting in all that the world trusted. Leadership resigning, companies having to acknowledge immoral oversights and shake ups in every tier. These tiers touch every aspect of the secular world. From products having to be recalled to the famous being exiled from Hollywood.

There is a shifting and a tearing down of the things people have held trust in. We are in a period of time where the dust has not settled because all isn’t done yet. God is removing the obstacles that have held back HIS truth and HIS people from infiltrating the systems of this world.

Your delay is not a denial of the promise but a strategic plan of God. There are people that must be removed so that your employer can see you, the very one that has been speaking life to that business all along. People need to move out of that house so that God can move you in, for HE promised you a home. The systems of this world must become more vulnerable and frail. As they are stripped of their strength, God will begin to open doors for HIS people and promises HE promised will begin to manifest.

The hold up is just HIS wise strategy to get HIS sons and daughters into the places HE has promised. I encourage you, “Don’t be weary in well-doing”…… Now is the time to rest in HIM and to strengthen yourselves for the road ahead. The journey before you is full of HIS promises to you.
