Sweet Sounds From Heaven

Sometimes things take a long time to manifest in our lives don’t they. Ever feel like God has forgotten you; somehow, you have gotten lost in the crowd. I mean, after all, Almighty God has a big family and certainly has His hands full. Your dreams and visions may have fallen through the cracks. Well, welcome to the world of humans.

Failure is not defeat, and delay is not denial. How do we keep failure from being fatal and delay from breeding discouragement? PUSH is an acronym for Pray Until Something Happens. This is easier to preach than to practice.

This is when we must have Enduring Faith. Not just a shot of faith, but lasting a long time Faith. That push through the powers of discouragement to Victory Faith. That come hell or high water, I’m going through Faith. That build yourself up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost Faith. That I didn’t win this time, but I’m not going to quit Faith. That I am not moved by what I see, but I am only moved by what I believe Faith. That I don’t understand what God is doing, but I trust Him Faith.

This race is a marathon, not a sprint. Galatians 6:9 And let us not be weary in well doing; for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. Hebrews 12: 1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us. Hebrews 6:12 That we be not spiritually sluggish, but followers of them who through Faith and Patience inherit the promises.

If this seems like a tall order, it is; but we serve a Big God. There is no faith without risk. We cannot afford to get ourselves involved in the ingredients process. God knows what to toss into our pie to make it a blue ribbon winner. Our job is to trust Him when it does not even look like He is at the Fair. Ecclesiastes 3: 1 To every thing there is a season, and a time for every matter or purpose under heaven. Philippians 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.

When God places a dream in our hearts, He will bring it to pass in His good time. We must let the Dove rest on us. We must let that peace that passes all understanding keep our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus at all times. We must let His Spirit maneuver us and blow us around like a leaf on a fall day. He knows what He is doing and He will reveal His secrets to us when we can say Yes and Amen!! God is always on time. Personally, I have never known Him to be early, but He is faithful to keep us through the process.
