See, the LORD your God has placed the land before you; go up, take possession, as the LORD, the God of your fathers, has spoken to you. Do not fear or be dismayed. Deuteronomy 1:21.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:
The sentence has been satisfied, the judgment paid, you are at My side and the decision in your favor has been made. It is time you took initiative and ran your race that you may live within the abundance of your promised land. It is time to soar above and not trod along beneath, it is time you stopped your doubt and unbelief by knowing what is yours in Christ and taking hold of everlasting life. The victory has been won by My own beloved Son. It is time to reign with Him in life.
For if by the transgression of the one, death reigned through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ. Romans 5:17.
In Jesus you are fully equipped and have all you need, and an abundance for every good work. It is time you stopped camping in the wilderness and went forward to live in the abundance of My promises, which are all “YES” to you in Christ Jesus your Lord. Write down the vision I give and make it as high as the Heaven towers above the earth and as deep as sea at its greatest depth.
Then the LORD spoke again to Ahaz, saying, “Ask a sign for yourself from the LORD your God; make it deep as Sheol or high as heaven.” Isaiah 7:10-11.
It is time for you to take possession of your possessions. It is time to take all the benefits of Psalm 103 and stop living like those trapped by the devil that are not born again. It is time you took back the earth. But this is not a physical battle, for you can only put the devil under your feet in the spiritual arena.
It has been about two thousand years since My Son died for all of you and yet most people in the world are stuck in a rut of doubt and unbelief, trying to get what they already have in Christ Jesus, trying to take over their own salvation and merits by doing penance for their sins instead of just repenting, being washed in the blood of My Son, forgetting what lies behind as I have done for you in Christ, and going forward to take possession of their promised land with joy and gratitude at all I have done for them and do for them in Jesus. If all you do is look back in sorrow over your sins and failures you will never go forward. If you are focused only on yourself and your merits or lack of them you will never do anything great or excellent.
Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:13-14.
It is time you stopped scratching around on the ground looking for scraps flapping about like a chicken, enough of your whining and begging like little dogs as you pollute My earth and destroy with indulgence and addictions the amazing bodies I gave you. Enough of your following every whim of your flesh and the counsel of the devil. It is time you took your place of authority with My host and learned to soar with the eagles. Today I am taking you to flight school so get ready to receive your wings.
Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth does not become weary or tired. His understanding is inscrutable. He gives strength to the weary, and to him who lacks might He increases power. Though youths grow weary and tired, and vigorous young men stumble badly, yet those who wait for the LORD will gain new strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles, they will run and not get tired, they will walk and not become weary. Isaiah 40:28-31.
The key here, if you read these instructions carefully is waiting on Me. You see that also in Psalm 40:
I waited, waited for the LORD; and He inclined to me and heard my cry. He brought me up out of the pit of destruction, out of the miry clay, and He set my feet upon a rock making my footsteps firm. He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God; many will see and fear and will trust in the LORD. Psalm 40:1-3.
I tell you in many psalms and proverbs to “wait” on Me. But what are you waiting for?
You are my secret place and my shield; I wait for Your word. Psalm 119:114.
My soul languishes for Your salvation; I wait for Your word. Psalm 119:81.
May those who fear You see me and be glad, because I wait for Your word. Psalm 119:74.
I rise before dawn and cry for help; I wait for Your words. Psalm 119:147.
I sent My Word to heal you and to deliver you out of all your destructions. A farmer knows that if you want a great harvest you must plant good seed and then you must guard and cultivate it until it reaches maturity and fruition. I told Adam to guard and cultivate the Garden of Eden. How did he let the guard down and lose his harvest of blessing? He let in another word than Mine and did not weed it out.
If you want to be amazing and have a great and fruitful life delivered from all destruction there is only one way you will get it, there is only one way you will soar over the pitfalls and traps of the devil and that is by cultivating a sound mind. I did not give you a spirit of fear but of power, love and a sound mind, that is, a calm, self-controlled mind that is not subject to picking up every tormenting thought or accusation of the devil. You must take every thought captive to the obedience of My Word, and My Word took flesh in Christ. You must be just as vigilant over your thought life as a good farmer is over the growth of his crops. He gets out the weeds that clutter the ground and take the nutrients away from the wheat or whatever crop he is growing, he goes after the pests, insects, little foxes, birds and anything else that would destroy his harvest. And he makes sure his growing plants get the water, the nutrients, the sunshine and the protection they need to grow healthy and strong.
Anything you are thinking that is contrary to My Words you must cast down. The more diligent you are about it the more fruitful and at peace you will be. If you want to soar with Me on eagle’s wings you have to set your mind above where Christ is seated at My right hand and you are seated there with Him.
Ask Me to give you insight with My sight, speak out that you have a power packed life (that is the truth for you have the Holy Spirit in you and My power, resurrection power, is working in you) and bring joy, be that joy, in every situation letting My people know that I will make it all work out for their good. That is My specialty.
In the original Hebrew in which the Old Testament was written the word for “wait” is “qavah (קָוָה),” and also “yachal (יָחַל),” both of which mean: to wait, to look for, to hope, to expect. Both primarily convey the idea of waiting with anticipation or hope. They are often used in the context of looking forward to something with eager expectation. This waiting is not passive but involves a confident expectation of My intervention or fulfillment of My promises. The agrarian society of ancient Israel required patience and reliance on Me for the growth of crops and the provision of rain.
To “wait on the Lord,” does not mean to sit around and do nothing. It does not mean to decide that the ball is in My court and you will just wait for Me to move. It does not mean to be bored. It does not mean to stand in line.
It means to soar with eagle’s wings. It means to serve Me. It means to get everything prepared for My return. It means you are busy.
My Son told you a parable about what waiting on Me means. It is like servants who are awaiting their Master’s return from a wedding feast. Blessed is the one He finds busy about his Master’s business when He returns. Luke 12:35-48.
I tell you those who wait on Me soar with eagle’s wings, run and not grow weary, walk and not grow faint. Sounds active.
To wait on Me takes courage. It means you are consistently constant in knowing that My Word will come to pass no matter what the circumstances look like– no matter how contrary to My Word they look. It is believing for and refusing to accept anything less than what I promise you in My Word. And this includes healing, prosperity, provision, deliverance, peace, and fruitfulness. It means refusing to settle in the desert when I have told you to go to the Promised Land. It means you keep going even when the going gets rough.
It means going all the way with Me. It means life without limits. It means never to give up.
Be stouthearted and wait for Me. Hang in there until you get the result. Play until you win. You cannot be a coward and wait on Me. It means to be bold and never declare anything contrary to My Word. Waiting on Me will get you your miracle.
Waiting for Me means to keep My ways and My Word. Psalm 37:34, Psalm 119:166. It means that you give even when you think you have nothing to give. It means living to the fullest potential. It means rejoicing always, praying without ceasing and giving constant thanks.
Be busy about My business. The task I left you to do. Kingdom business.
I will give you three Scriptures about waiting on Me which will help you understand what it means:
- Those who wait for Me soar with eagle’s wings, run and not grow weary, walk and not grow faint. Isaiah 40:30-31.
- Be stouthearted and wait for Me. Psalm 27:14.
- Blessed is the one the Master finds busy diligently doing the work the Master gave him to do on His return. Luke 12:43.
If you feel you do not know what to do while you wait, look to My Word. I tell you: love, do good, give, and be fruitful. Love is active. It seeks and looks for ways to please and bless the beloved.
Waiting on Me is a journey you make, walking in the life of good deeds I prepared for you in advance. It is getting on the highway, the highway of holiness, that I told you about through My prophet Isaiah. Isaiah 35:8-10. It is for those with a journey to make. And there is joy and rejoicing on that highway. Isaiah 35:10. And your food for the journey is the Body and Blood of My Son, for nourishment, cleansing and healing. The Word is your sword, your footgear is the Gospel of peace, and the Holy Spirit your guide and leader. And the path gets brighter and brighter, which implies you move and do not stay in one place. Those do My Will who step out and seek it by looking to My Word and doing what it says.
If you are not going forward you are falling behind. Even when you wait in line, you move forward and eventually get to your goal.
Angels wait on Me, they perform My commands. That is what it means to wait on Me—to serve and minister until I return.And I only left you one task to do until My Son returns: to go and tell the good news to all nations and teach them everything My Son taught you to do. Are you busy about the task I left you to do? Will you hear: “Well done, good and faithful servant?” Think about that next time you are sitting around with “nothing to do.” Go witness to someone by letting your light shine before men. Be like My Son, He went around doing good and healing all those who were oppressed by the devil. Acts 10:38. He made people’s lives better, happier, and beautiful. I like to give you beauty for your ashes, do the same for others.
But how is it your soar on eagle’s wings, the two wings are prayer and praise.
Those who wait for Me, the LORD, will gain new strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles, they will run and not get tired, they will walk and not become weary. Isaiah 40:31. I tell you often in My Word about the benefits of waiting on Me. So, if you are weary and finding life burdensome, you need to pay attention to My Word for your answer is here.
How do you wait on Me? The answer is simple yet it encompasses a whole life style that for many of you will be an entirely new way of living—a new way of “being.”
So, how do you wait on Me? In prayer, praise and peace. That is the formula to receive power from on high: prayer, praise and peace.
“Watch and pray,” My Son told you, “for you know not the day or the hour.”
Wait for Me with courage, be stouthearted and wait for Me. Daniel waited on Me in his exile, he prayed, he praised and he had peace. And he even got thrown in a lions’ den as his sentence for praying to Me, but even there he was at peace in prayer and praise! And I delivered him and promoted him and prospered him in all he did. Paul and Silas did the same in the prison at Philippi and I opened all the gates and saved the jailer and the prisoners. Nehemiah waited on Me in prayer, praise and peace, and I moved the heart of his king to fund the desire of Nehemiah’s heart, which was the rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem. Esther waited on Me in prayer, praise and peace, and I moved her king’s heart to give her anything she asked of him, up to half his kingdom. Jehoshaphat and the people of Judah, waited on Me in humble prayer, praise and peaceful joy, and I destroyed their enemies. David waited on Me in prayer, praise and peace (like a weaned child in his mother’s lap) and I destroyed all his enemies and made him a great and mighty king.
They all became strong to overcome all that was against them as they waited on Me in prayer, praise and peace.
And so can you. For prayer and praise with thanksgiving is the only way to enter into My gates, My courts, and My innermost sanctuary. The only way to enter into My rest. And when you enter into My rest there is power there. Power to renew your youth like the eagle’s. Power to make you soar with eagle’s wings and run and not grow weary and walk and not grow faint.
When prayer and praise go up from a people in the confident trust which gives peace beyond understanding, then the power from on High comes down and clothes you—the filling with My Holy Spirit, flowing into and out of you in signs, wonders and miracles.
The end of all things is near; therefore, be of sound judgment and sober spirit for the purpose of prayer. 1 Peter 4:7. Be on the alert for your adversary the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. 1 Peter 5:8. But you resist him, firm in your faith, by the Blood of the Lamb and the word of your testimony, for demonic activity is only driven out by prayer. Mark 9:27-29, 1 Peter 5:9, Revelation 12:11. And praise causes the enemy and his demons to attack one another in total confusion. And peace is beyond the devil’s understanding, for the evil one has no peace and neither do those who entertain him and employ his thoughts. Prayer is a strong tower against him, but it must be spiritual sacrifice with the Blood of the Lamb and the Word of your testimony.
Pray always without losing heart. The prayer of a righteous man is effective indeed. And the prayer of faith raises up the sick and moves mountains into the sea. Rejoice always, pray without ceasing and render constant thanks.
The power comes from entering My rest in Christ Jesus by faith. There is no snatching out of My hand and when you abide in Me, the evil one cannot touch you. But you only enter My rest when you have taken Jesus as your Lord, for He alone made peace for you by the Blood of His cross. You cannot have peace without knowing the Cross and what the Blood shed by My Son thereon did for you, that He took all your sins and infirmities so that they are not just forgiven but gone. It is only then you have peace with Me that you can pray unhindered prayers. For when you understand what My Son did for you, then you have peace with Me knowing that I will answer your prayers, because you know you are not coming before Me to find favor based on your own works but on the infinite merits of Christ, the grace I have lavished upon you in My lovingkindness in Jesus. It is not your power or might but My Spirit.
Wait on Me in humble prayer, praise and peace and watch Me go to work on your behalf. And it is the prayer of faith—faith in the Blood of My Son to cleanse, renew and plead for you, and entering by faith through the new and living way right opened by His Blood right to My throne.
Take a lesson from Heaven, as they hold the golden bowls filled with your prayers they are offering them before Me as they praise the Lamb.
Peace to you who are near and to you who are far. My Son has won it for you by the Blood of the Cross. Come and enter My rest in prayer, praise and peace.
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to Me. And My peace, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7.
Prayer, praise and peace. Join David, join Deborah, join Esther, join Jehoshaphat, join Paul, join Mary, and join with all the saints every day in prayer, praise and peace. And yes, always bring the Lamb. For He is the only way to come.
If you leave your prayer time with the same burden upon you that you came with, then you did not really pray. For I ask you to cast all your care on Me and to let Me take your burden. If you really believe in the love I have for you as shown in Christ Jesus, you will leave your prayer time unburdened and care-free, for you will know that I am taking care of all the details of your life in accordance with My riches in glory in Christ Jesus. You will know that I am solving your problems and healing your pain.
I love you forever. And when you wait for Me, you will find I am already there waiting for you. Do not stand idle all day in the marketplace when there is work to be done in My vineyard. You come to My vineyard too, the harvest is ripe but the laborers are few. There is plenty of work for you.
