IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN - CHAPTER II - PART II


by Gabriel Swaggart

ISAAC ENTREATED THE LORD

As Rebekah lay barren, Isaac did something that must be understood and copied by all believers—he entreated the Lord.

Even though Rebekah believed that she could not conceive and that all hope was dead, the Lord wanted Isaac to continue to believe Him for the birth of a son.  To entreat means “to intercede,” which means that Isaac interceded, prayed, and believed that the Lord would one day grant them the birth of a son.

Once again, we must understand that in order for the plan of God to be brought forth, which is God’s redemption plan, there had to be the birth of a son.

THERE IS A DISTANCE BETWEEN THE PROMISE AND THE POSSESSION

Believers, there are things in your lives that are imperative to your Christian walk.  The Lord has spoken things to you that will happen in the future, but you are barren, spiritually speaking.  It has been years, and it seems that nothing is coming of that promise.

The Lord allows such to happen to us so that we will daily seek His face, not give up on that promise, and believe that whatever He has promised us will come to pass.

Delay does not mean denial, and there will always be a distance between the promise and the possession of that promise.

Many times, God does not grant to us right away the things that He has promised us, and the reason, I believe, is that He knows that we could not handle such if they were given to us right away.  That is why the Lord allows a distance, so to speak, between the promise and the possession of the promise.  There are things in our lives that the Lord needs to work on, and all hope of the flesh must die. 

Isaac sought the Lord daily over this issue, and we must do the same.  This was a test of Isaac’s faith, and it is the same with us.

Faith must be tested, and great faith must be tested greatly.  These tests come in many and varied ways, but all are with the purpose in mind of showing us what is really on the inside of us.  Also, they are to show us how powerful God really is.

Never give up on that promise but daily seek His face for His will in the matter.  Do not give up on that promise, for it will come to pass just as it did for Isaac and Rebekah.

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
