Is God waiting on your 'yes' ?

*Is God Waiting on Your ‘Yes’?*


Do you feel like you are meant to do great things? Has God spoken to you concerning the plans and destiny He has for you, but you don’t know how it’s going to happen?

There was a young woman in the Bible named Mary who felt the same way.

She was visited by an angel and told that she would give birth to God’s son … even though she was a virgin!

Mary asked the angel how the destiny spoken to her could possibly be since she had never known a man intimately.

The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God. Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be unable to conceive is in her sixth month. For no word from God will ever fail.” Luke 1:35–37 NIV

God has a word for you

All Mary had was God’s final word that the promise He made to her would not fail. She also knew what struggles this would bring about for her personally. She was supposed to get married to Joseph! How would her community react when she became pregnant outside of marriage? How would Joseph react?

God has a word for you!



Mary didn’t have all the answers for her future, and that’s what makes her response to the angel so incredible.

“I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May your word to me be fulfilled.” Then the angel left her. Luke 1:38 NIV

Notice the angel waited for Mary to respond with her answer to the call of God on her life before leaving her.Have you ever wondered what would have happened if she had not said yes?

Is God waiting on your yes?

Mary saying “yes” to God began a series of events that led to Jesus healing thousands and performing many miracles. Her “yes” is what allowed the savior to enter the world.Without Mary, there could be no baby Jesus!

Like Mary, God may be calling you to something extraordinary. It could be that He’s still waiting on your absolute, undoubting “yes.”

Like Mary, God may be calling you to something extraordinary.



Lingering answers

For the revelation awaits an appointed time; it speaks of the end and will not prove false. Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay. Habakkuk 2:3 NIV

Sometimes God speaks and things happen right away. Other times it seems that the answers linger, are delayed or they don’t come at all. Not all prophetic words from God come to pass as there are other factors that come into play.

Not all prophetic words from God come to pass as there are other factors that come into play.



Even though prophetic words may seem to linger and be delayed, many times they come and do not fail you. Listen, the important part is that we trust God to lead us to the greater purposes.

Blessed are all of you who believe that the Lord will fulfill his promises to you.

Watch as 2019 brings the fulfillment of promises you’ve been asking for!

The Gospel Is Not A Second Chance!

The Gospel Is Not A Second Chance! One of the biggest misconceptions about Christianity is that it is a second chance at life. Of course this could be because we preach that it’s a second chance at life. But the truth is that the gospel of Jesus Christ is not one which gives people a second chance at life. Rather it is one that ends their life. The message of the gospel is not God saying- “OK, you’ve really messed up but don’t worry, here’s another shot.” No, the message of the gospel is God saying – “You can’t do this… why don’t you let Me take over for you.” The evolution of the message It’s easy to see how we got ourselves here – we love self-righteousness. It’s something we all love to do, to earn our own righteous standing before God. The Apostles founded the church on a solid message of Grace. Yet, we somehow spent over a thousand years preaching works to get right with God and earn the forgiveness of Jesus! I mean… talk about self-righteous! ...

CULTIVATE INTIMACY

Cultivate Intimacy Soaking prayer is not a replacement for reading the Bible, praying, intercession, Christian counseling, or any other Christian discipline. It is the other side of the conversation, cultivating intimacy, going after God’s heart. Then He comes with His hand! I have especially seen this in healing ministry. Healing of issues of the heart, like physical healing, sometimes comes in an instant. But sometimes the healing takes place over a period of time. This is where soaking comes in. Many healing rooms and counselors have a place for their clients to soak before and after sessions with much fruit.  We’ve seen over and over that most of what God does happens when people stay on the floor (or sit in a chair) and keep on receiving, lingering in His presence. We so easily want “McJesus,” but He wants to dine with us! There is always more! Don’t miss it! When you are in that place, He has your full attention, and you have His. Many churches have added soaking prayer to ...

KINGS AND PRIESTS

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light. (1 Peter 2:9) And [now] they sing a new song, saying, You are worthy to take the scroll and to break the seals that are on it, for You were slain (sacrificed), and with Your blood You purchased men unto God from every tribe and language and people and nation. And You have made them a kingdom (a royal race) and priests to our God, and they shall reign [as kings] over the earth! (Revelation 5:9-10 AMP) We were not saved just to have a ticket to heaven and in the meantime to maintain selfless and sinless lives here on earth. The purpose of our calling is to make known the excellencies of God. We are called to reveal and demonstrate His power, goodness, and love. We are destined to bring heaven here on earth. The term 'royal priesthood' signifies we are both to be priests a...
