God With Us In The Waiting by Pastor Brent Lokker

What a special time we all shared together this past Saturday night at Blazing Fire! At the end of my message when you all came forward to give your collective “Yes!” to the Lord, I felt we were all in a warm cocoon of His love and grace. 
 
Papa loved your courageous hearts that are “all in” even though you are still waiting on many of His promises to be fulfilled.
 
In the midst of the promises of God we’re waiting upon together and the ones you are waiting on individually, remember how faithful He is to hear each prayer we utter and to answer every one of our cries. But His faithful answers are often contained in storehouses that are then released at exactly the right moment that will produce the greatest possible blessing. And when you experience frustration during the times of waiting, remember Papa is never silent and is always breathing His life and hope into us.
 
Remember Jesus’ words: 
“A woman in childbirth suffers because her time has come but when he has given birth to the child she forgets the suffering in her joy that a human being has been born into the world.” John 16:21
 
There is coming a time very shortly when God will pour out such a generous measure of His Spirit and His glory that we will forget the time of waiting when we’ve been crying out to experience a greater measure of His presence.
 
We’re about to enter into a most amazing Kingdom time together—I feel it with every fiber of my being! And we’re doing so as a family whose hearts are more deeply connected than ever—drawn close through the Spirit’s sweet, sweet presence among us.
 
It’s about to get really, really good. Just you wait and see!
 
“We are not those who shrink back and are destroyed, but are of those who have faith and preserve their souls.”
Hebrews 10:39
 
Take courage my heart, stay steadfast my soul
He’s in the waiting! He’s in the waiting!
Hold on to your hope as your triumph unfolds
He’s in the waiting! He’s in the waiting!
