Beware of instant gratification!
God is sending you this message today to encourage your heart in the wait. Satan would love to wave around a curse called instant gratification and disguise it as blessing called instant breakthrough. But don’t fall for it. What God has for you is worth the wait, friend!
Waiting? Your season is coming
Though you may be broken and barren, crushed and discouraged, hurting and shattered right now, God is not through with you yet. You may have, in some ways, become resigned to your fate, but God has a plan for your life. Your season of breakthrough and deliverance will come!
God said, delay is not denial!
If God promised you He would do something, He will do it! But Satan wants to keep you discouraged. He hopes to convince you that slow change means no change, and delay equals denial. But the devil is, just as he always has been, a liar. Furthermore, he is the father of lies!
However long it takes
Know that, if God said it, as I always tell you, it has to happen. When things are moving slowly in your life, tell yourself: However long it takes, I will trust God; however long it takes, I will believe; however long it takes, I will confess God’s promises; however long it takes, I refuse to give up.
Let go and let God
If you are going through something difficult, let go and let God. That isn’t always easy, especially when you feel like you need to be in control of the outcome. But when you let go and surrender, that’s when He will reveal Himself as Jehovah Jireh, a provider; Jehovah Raphe, a healer; Jehovah Shalom, your peace; Adonai, Lord and Master of all. If you want Him to release His power, release your control!
