Joyce Meyer - Watch Sermon: Hasty and Premature Judgments

Joyce Meyer - Watch Sermon: Hasty and Premature 

November 14: Wait on the Lord

“That you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises."

Hebrews 6:12

If God has promised you something, you can be sure you will have it. But you say, “Paula, I have waited and waited, and it has not come yet.” God is faithful to fulfill every promise He gives to us. “God is not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good” (Numbers 23:19)?

Do you remember when God told Samuel to go to Jesse’s house and anoint one of his sons as king (I Samuel 16:1)? After God refused to allow Samuel to anoint any of Jesse’s sons, confused, Samuel asked Jesse, “Are these all your sons?” There was one left. A young shepherd boy was anointed and appointed to become the next king, and he would become the greatest king Israel would ever know, until Jesus.

David did not become king the minute Samuel anointed him. While Saul was still sitting on the throne, David was anointed for the throne. That is why you should not worry when you see someone else in a position God has promised to you. God will take care of that person, and He does not need your help or mine. What should you do in the meantime? “Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time” (I Peter 5:6).

God is faithful.

He is not like the people you meet every day who talk big but have short memories. If God has promised you something, it will come to pass. There may be a waiting period, but it will come to pass! I believe that many throw in the towel and quit just before they break through to the promise God has for them. It is through faith and patience that you inherit the promise. So hold on – your blessing is on the way, and it may come today.

"Wait upon the Lord, when He promotes you the hand of man cannot stop you."

A psalm of David. 1  Blessed are those who have regard for the weak;    the LORD delivers them in times of trouble. 2  The LORD protects and preserves them—    they are counted among the blessed in the land—    he does not give them over to the desire of their foes. 3  The LORD sustains them on their sickbed    and restores them from their bed of illness. 4  I said, “Have mercy on me, LORD;    heal me, for I have sinned against you.” 5  My enemies say of me in malice,    “When will he die and his name perish? ” 6  When one of them comes to see me,    he speaks falsely, while his heart gathers slander;    then he goes out and spreads it around.

I Hear His Whisper..."Trust my timing." : Rivers of pain and persecution will never extinguish this flame. Endless floods will be unable to quench this raging fire that burns within you. Everything will be consumed. It will stop at nothing as you yield everything to this furious fire until it won’t even seem to you like a sacrifice anymore. Song of Songs 8:7 TPT I Hear His Whisper . . . Trust my timing.   The days of completion are mine, not yours. I will complete my work in you in my perfect timing. Even as my ways are perfect, so my timing is perfect. For you have said, "It seems I am standing still and going nowhere." But I say over you, I am unfolding my glory upon you even as you wait on me. I will make it happen and will show you my perfection. What often feels like an endless season of waiting is often a time of preparation. You must believe in things you cannot see. You must trust that even when things seem silent, I am working on your behalf
