From Expecting to Experiencing
Pearls From Above
Pastor Sue
When God speaks something to someone, if they truly believe God, they are expecting to see it happen, or come to pass at some time or another. But one problem Saints have, is waiting on God to fulfill His word to them. We live in a fast paced, instant gratification world, we want everything immediately, and it’s made its way into the Body of Christ. If Saints don’t see it come to pass in the allotted time THEY give God to fulfill His word to them, then they get frustrated, unhappy, discouraged and sometimes angry with God, because He hasn’t yet fulfilled His promises to them. And this can lead to doubt that God will ever do it. When a woman is expecting a baby, she has No Doubt, that the baby will come, the baby will be delivered, because she can feel life and movement in her, and so her situation goes from expecting the child to experiencing the birth of the child. From only feeling the child, to holding the child, seeing the child, having the child placed in her arms. She spent days, weeks, months, expecting the child to come, and at the appointed time, it happened.
Isaiah 55:11; So shall my word be that goes forth out of my mouth, it shall not return unto me void (without effect ), it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing where to I sent it.
2 Corinthians 1:20; For all the promises of God in him (Jesus) are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.
Psalm 27:14; Wait on the LORD, be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart, wait, I say, on the LORD
Throughout the Bible, God promised many things to many people, and we can read where sooner or later, His Word and promises came to pass. Their expectations led to experiencing the promises, His Word didn’t fall by the wayside, but accomplished what He promised. Many promises took years to fulfill, but it happened.
Don’t ever give up hope, if He said it, He will bring it to pass. Continue to expect God to do what He said, and you will experience the fruit of it.
What you are expecting from God, you will experience it, if you continue to trust Him, and don’t doubt. Wait on God to move and fulfill His word to you, no matter how long it takes, God has an appointed time for it. He will strengthen you and help you to hold on. God Bleas.
