I WILL WAIT FOR YOU…LORD…

Are you waiting for a husband or wife? Are you waiting to hear the news that you are pregnant? What about the news that you are able to finally adopt a child? Are you waiting beside a hospital bed? Are you waiting for that new position to open or God to open doors like He has put in your heart? Are you waiting for someone to do the right thing? 

Do you like to wait? I have learned that waiting is what we do most in life. Choose to worship while you wait. Say with me…..

“I will wait for You Lord..my hope is in You because You are my refuge. All the day long, I choose to worship and choose not to be shaken by trial or storm.”

Choose to worship the Lord today. Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desire of your heart.

Take time to be still and be quiet in the Presence of the Lord—listen to worship music and know that He has gone before you to make every crooked place straight. He sees all and knows all. He divinely connects and His plan will not be stopped—by any demon, evil system, or person on earth.

When all else seems to fail you, He will not fail you. When your world is shaken, don’t budge off of God’s Word. His love brings life. It is God who amazes us—He alone is worthy of our praise. He amazes us with His overwhelming love and His divine plan—as we watch it unfold right before our eyes. 

Rest in God—fully knowing His plan will unfold just as He has spoken. Don’t be moved by feelings—be moved by faith. 

Just as the waves splash upon the seashore, God will come through for you. 

We choose to be overwhelmed by the love of God, by Jesus, the Most beautiful—who brings all things into divine order and positioning. Lord, renew us and consume us with Your love. Where there is love, there is life.

We trust You Lord. Our prayer today. 

Serving the Most High,

Jesus provided all the legal authority we need to overcome satan. Our job is to exercise that authority and invade the enemy’s territory, declare to him what the eviction notice says, and throw his furniture out on the side of the road—slamming the door in his face. 

Much like a restraining order that can be issued that forbids a person to get too close to you, the cross of Jesus Christ is your restraining order to keep satan off your back so you can live in the light of Jesus Christ and who you are in Him. 

Don’t perform like some kind of circus animal who has a ball and chain on its leg. Don’t drag the chains from hell around like designer baggage. The church is not built by Christ to perform like a puppet while Satan and his hordes from hell eat popcorn watching the show. 

Christ has delegated His incomparable authority to us to operate in His power and authority and it is time we rise up, obey His marching orders, and run the devil out of our homes and cities. It is time for you to pull that peg out of the ground, that stake where the devil has claimed territory, and begin walking and talking, and acting like who you are IN CHRIST. We have been set free in Him (John 8:32).

Instead of worrying, choose to worship while you wait. Watch God turn the battle into a blessing—for the world to see. He is making an overcomer out of you–which holds the highest reward from God in the Book of Revelation. Amen!

STRUGGLES, ATTACKS, TERRORISM, ANXIETY, NECESSARY OR NEEDLESS INDIVIDUAL CONFLICT…doesn’t sound good to me, does it you? Learn how to rise above and put your trust in God. Choose to dance through the storm–and hack the enemy off.

While real life can seem a bit chaotic in this present world in which we live, Satanic attacks are very real. With the chaos and “Trojan Horse” war of words, manipulation, media explosions, and attacks across this nation, let us be reminded that we serve a risen Savior!

If you want to see change in your life through the waiting, try praying the Word of God specifically over yourself and whatever you are facing in life.

Many are waiting on someone to repent, someone or an organization to do the right thing, someone to meet that is Mr. or Ms. Right, some are waiting on a new position at work, some are waiting through sickness and disease, some are waiting till the funeral services are over, while others are waiting and enjoying life to the fullest. There are many reasons why we wait in life. 

Life has seasons—and the anointing on your life attracts satanic attacks. Satan hates Jesus, righteousness, and any forward movement that takes territory from him. 

While butterflies have to struggle before they can emerge from the cocoon; the struggle is necessary for the butterfly to emerge well and healthy. The restricting cocoon and the struggle for the butterfly are both God’s design to have the butterfly emerge with the ability to fly and come to full destiny through metamorphosis. 

On another note, satanic struggles and attacks are another thing entirely. In life, we must be humble, patient, bearing with one another in love—making every effort to keep the unity of the spirit and peace. You might be asking, “How do I do that with what I am dealing with in life?”

What does the Word of God reveal about what to do and how in real life struggles and attacks?

Paul reminds us that our own struggle is not against flesh and blood “but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” 

He urges us to come dressed for battle, to put on the full armor of God so that we can stand in the day of evil (Ephesians 6:12-13). In case you haven’t noticed, we are living in that day. 

As we stand, we are also to remember, that, despite appearances or even how we “feel”, when the battle rages and is at its worst, the LORD of Hosts is still with us, “able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us” (Ephesians 3:20).

God has at His disposal the entire created universe with which to accomplish His purposes. No matter how sophisticated the weaponry in the history of the world—it is nothing next to God. Let’s remind ourselves WHO we are IN CHRIST and WHOSE we are today.

We ask God to equip us for the spiritual battles that will surely come and we praise God for His plan of salvation. 

Be reminded of Isaiah telling the story of how a single angel slew 185,000 Assyrian soldiers. Jesus, the night he was arrested, assured His disciples that he had more than six legions of angels (72,000) as his beck and call!

There is nothing too hard for God. With such amazing and crystal clear evidence, there is no need to fear anything. The same Jesus who cast out devils, walked on water, multiplied bread for thousands, raised the dead, and calmed a storm, can and will surely come to deliver us from the hands of the enemy.

Jesus became the Savior of the world, and laid down His life for all—-through perfect submission to His Father’s will, laying down his life in a display of perfect faith, lowliness, and love.

One of His names is Yahweh Tsebaoth, THE LORD OF HOSTS. Consider a few stories in Scripture to remind you of God’s faithfulness and how He has the entire world at His disposal:

The Red Sea parting (Exodus 14:15-31)

The earth swallowing up the guilty (Numbers 16:28-35)

Locusts swarming over Egypt (Exodus 10:12-15)

Thunder routing an enemy (1 Samuel 7:10-12)

Fire consuming God’s enemies but preserving His friends (Daniel 3:19-30)

The sun locked in its place until a battle is won (Joshua 10:12-14)

Daniel in the den of lions with their mouths shut and cozying up to the prophet (Daniel 6:16-23).

We thank God “For a child has been born for us, a son given to us; authority rests upon His shoulders….His authority shall grow continually, and there shall be endless peace, for the throne of David and his kingdom. He will establish and uphold it with justice and with righteousness from this time onward and forevermore. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will do this” (Isaiah 9:6-7 NRSV).

Offer thanks to God, as a believer, that you belong to the LORD of Hosts. Confess any complacency about your faith and ask Him to strengthen you in your weakness. Magnify the LORD GOD. Elevate HIM over all! 

Choose to dance through the storm—it will hack the devil off. Submit to God, resist the devil, and He will flee. You are unstoppable with God! Obey His instructions and enjoy the journey of obedience—no matter what attack you attract. Laugh out loud and say, “It’s only you —Satan” …and keep moving forward in faith—focused on Jesus. 

Pray and read this daily—remind yourself of how big God is and that He owns the entire world and all of creation! He owns it all!
