I'm sure that there are many of us who have been "waiting on the Lord". God has made many promises to you over the years. You've been as faithful and diligent as you know to be; but still at this very moment, those promises don't seem to have come to fruition. It can be easy to get "impatient" with God. But I would like to encourage you not to be so. God's timetable is much different than ours. His vantage point of perspective, as God, is infinitely different from ours. With that being the case, don't get discouraged, don't get disgusted, and don't be depressed. This is not the Will of God for you. No, what we want to understand, regardless of our feelings and regardless of our current circumstances is that Now Is The Time.
I'm sure you've heard that over and over again. "This is the year" or "this is the season". However, you didn't hear me say any of that. What I said is that Now Is The Time. Now is the time for what? Is it time for you to have your prayers answered? Is it time for you to receive your Blessing? Is it time for your Breakthrough? Is it time for your Miracle? Maybe. It may be time for all of that. But what it "is" Time for all of us to do is to walk in expectation of the Next Dimension that God is getting ready to release in the earth. Why? Because Now Is the Time.
One of the greatest spiritual challenges that a lot of Christians in Western society have to face is overcoming the spirit of Individualism. Even as it relates to our relationship with God and our walk with Christ, we still have a way of making it about Me, Myself and I. Let me assure you, the Individualistic spirit that pervades this country is not of God. Whether you're fully aware of it or not, it really is not about you. Not even "all about you", no, it's not about you. It's not about when you're going to receive your spouse. It's not about when you're going to get that job promotion. It's not about when you're going to get that new house. It's not about when you're going to receive that "financial breakthrough". No. It's not about you! These are some of the things, and other things in the Natural, that many of us have been waiting on God for. There's nothing inherently wrong with that, but when God doesn't deliver on "your timetable", it fosters frustration, disappointment, and sometimes even bitterness. Needless to say, none of this is the Will of God. So no, we're not talking about those things when we say that Now Is The Time.
No saints, now is not the time for individual pursuits and materialistic pleasures. Now Is The Time to prepare to operate in a New Dimension of Reality. People in the world, and unfortunately many Christians, don't understand what God is doing in the earth. He's ready to usher in a whole new Reality of Existence in this world. The icons that have died, the terrorist attacks that are happening all over the world, the social upheaval and civil unrest that is affecting the planet (Turkey, the Middle East, police officers in America). None of this is a coincidence. God is allowing all these things to take place, and have you noticed "back to back to back", to get our attention. He's serving notice to the earth that He is doing a New Thing (Isaiah 43). But are you ready? Are you ready to operate in the Kingdom Dimension of God? Are you ready to operate in the Supernatural? Are you ready to witness "consistently" Miracles, Signs and Wonders? Are you ready to walk in Purpose Fulfillment? Are you ready to fulfill the mandate of Discipleship by Bearing your Cross daily? These are the things that as believers in Christ we need to focus on because I can assure you saints, Now Is The Time.
