The Assignment of "Waiting"
The Spirit of God has a way of helping us overcome bad choices that were made in the past. Some of us made a simple choice concerning a financial transaction years ago and may be still suffering from that one choice. It may have been something as simple as purchasing something when it wasn't the time.
Some of us have made bad choices concerning career moves and even relationships. The choice seemed right at the time, but the choice did not have the substance to endure the test of time. A simple choice can sometimes turn into years of frustration and discouragement. A purchase made outside of it's due season can come back to 'cripple you' when it's time to purchase a real necessity, such as a house or a car.
These simple, but significant 'set backs' will sometimes be the burdens that cause! Most believers to be discouraged in their faith towards God's faithfulness, and even can cause doubt in their own significant Assignments and Callings.
God, however, has a Way of bringing life back to those who suffer from bad choices. He has a sure Way of restoring lives into the Fullness of Joy. He and the Holy Spirit have devised a Plan that will bring ultimate restoration. It's called...Waiting.
The Assignment of 'Waiting with God'
There is indeed an assignment for Waiting. Some of the issues we have in life must be waited out. We must embrace the practical strengths of the Holy Ghost that will enable us to endure the process of perfection that God is releasing to our situation. God doesn't always speak to the mountains in our lives, nor does He automatically cause them to disappear. There is a method to the Ways of God.
He has within Himself the power to assign the "Strategic Purpose of Waiting" into your life progression. Waiting with the Lord is another way of waiting "on God." You must understand that God is also in this waiting process with you. You are not in it alone. Do not wait with the issues. Change your company and wait with the Spirit. When you wait alongside the Spirit, He will download new insights into your life that will give you a strategy on how to deal with the circumstance. If you are waiting alongside the negative issue, you will become more frustrated and depressed.
What is the Purpose of Waiting?
There is a purpose in Waiting. God is giving you the power to outlive the choice. With some of us, these bad choices have walked with us for years, and have been instrumental in deflating many dreams and desires. It has had a way of shackling your expectations, and setting an extreme limitation on your Joy and Faith.
But God is always faithful. He will destroy the powers of the bad transactions in your life, and activate the Eternal Life inside of you that will empower you to "outlive and outrun" the bad choices you have made. His strategy in Waiting will navigate the deliverance you need, as well as the Favor you have been waiting for.
The Power to Get Up and Run Again
God is setting the appointed time for your refreshing. Refreshing at the wrong time may be all right, but not everlasting. But Refreshing in a due season will create a lifetime of remembrance, faithfulness, and power. Drinking water when there is no thirst merely tastes good. But water that is received when the power of thirst has set in, will give you the power to get up and run again.
In your waiting, God is creating a Refreshing just for you. This Refreshment will give you the power to run again, jump again, and overcome again. It will create in you the Power to Reproduce. It will renew your strength. It will renew your mind. It will take away the fear you have received because of choices in the past.
They that wait on the Lord...
And they that wait 'with the Lord...' ! (smile)
