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!

Identity in CHRIST - Part 2 ( Crucified with CHRIST)

Crucified with CHRIST Galatians 2:20 When Paul said, "I have been crucified with CHRIST," it meant he had been judged, condemned, cast out, stripped naked, and nailed to the Cross. The very thought of crucifixion to a Jew, and especially to a Pharisee, brought a sense of shame and horror. When Saul of Tarsus identified himself with the Man, JESUS, accepted HIM as his SAVIOR, and confessed HIM as his LORD, that moment he became a crucified man to the Jewish people. He became an outcast. No wonder he said in Gal. 6:14 that the world had been crucified unto him, and he had been crucified unto the world.  The world had been stripped naked to Paul. There was no longer any delusionin regard to it. He could no longer be deceived. He knew its cruelty. He had felt its lash upon his back.  He remembered the stoning that had left him unconscious. He remembered that in every place he went, he faced the anger, bitterness, and jealousy of men.  He had been stripped naked ...

Identity in CHRIST - Part 5 (We Died With HIM)

We Died With HIM  JESUS died twice on the Cross. I knew this for many years, but I had no scriptural evidence of it. One day I discovered Isaiah 53:9, the answer to my long search. "And they made HIS grave with the wicked, and with a rich man in HIS deaths." The word "death" is plural in the Hebrew.   Many of you who have Bibles with marginal renderings will notice it. That is, JESUS died two deaths on the Cross: HE died spiritually (in the realm of the Soul) before HE died physically. In J ohn 10:18 HE said that no one could take HIS life from HIM. HE could not be killed; HE could not die. Why? Because HIS body was not mortal. JESUS had a body just like GOD the FATHER. It was a perfect, human body, not Mortal, nor Immortal. It was a body that could not die until sin had taken possession of His spirit.  In other words, JESUS had to die spiritually (Soul) before HE could die physically.  If JESUS' body had been like yours and mine, then HE was not Deity, HE was n...

NO PHYSICAL DEATH

 No Physical Death Let ‘s start with the quote “As He is, so are we in Christ” which indicates the immortality of human life. According to the Word, we should be the reflection of His image. Which means, if Christ can’t die, so we should be. Then, what does death mean to us? Origin of Death: “Romans 5.12(KJV)”- Wherefore, as by one-man sin entered the world, and death by sin; and so, death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned The verse convey’ s that DEATH entered the world through SIN. “Romans 6.2-11(KJV)”- 2 How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? 3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. 5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of His resurrec...
