    Let no man say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God," for God can't be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one. But each one is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed. Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin; and the sin, when it is full grown, brings forth dea...

    By faith Noah, being warned about things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared a ship for the saving of his house, through which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith. By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed to go out to the place which ...

    Blessed is the man who doesn't walk in the counsel of the wicked, Nor stand in the way of sinners, Nor sit in the seat of scoffers; But his delight is in Yahweh's law; On his law he meditates day and night. He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water, That brings forth its fruit in its se...

Long Time Coming

  • Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene, in the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John, the son of Zacharias, in the wilderness. He came into all the region around the Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for remission of sins. Luke 3:1'3 WEB.

    It had been a long time coming. Ancient prophecies spoke of the one who would prepare the way for the Messiah (Isaiah 40:3). Yet, even though great prophets spoke about his ministry, there was nothing to see but a small child when John the baptizer was born. It wasn't very spectacular. Most people didn't even notice.

    For the next twenty years, nothing happened except John grew older. Then the day finally came when the Word of God came to John in the wilderness, and that changed everything. John came onto the scene and changed the world around him, carrying a powerful word from the Lord.

    He was the one who baptized Jesus Christ. He recognized who Jesus was and pointed Him out as the Messiah. You would think that the word of God would have come to the high priest. Yet, it came to an unknown John in the wilderness. It was his time.

    The Lord told me when I was young to prepare myself for ministry. So I went through school, got ordained, and then waited, and waited' If I was invited to speak somewhere, they would call and cancel before the day arrived. Sometimes the morning of the event, and after I had fasted and prayed for a week. Twenty years went by, and all the doors in ministry remained supernaturally closed. Eventually, I forgot all about it.

    I learned to work on computers, a lot of computers. After many years, the day suddenly came when I was pushed into ministry like cattle being herded through a loading chute. We had been out of work for months, couldn't find a job, could no longer pay the bills, and were packing to move out of our home. That was the day that His word came to me, and things changed quickly.

    While sitting alone in my prayer room without saying anything, I had an open vision from the Lord. By Friday, I was a pastor. Then a friend suddenly stepped in and paid all our bills for the month. It took forever but then happened overnight, and here I am. Now I use the computer skills that He taught me in ministry.

    God has the day marked on His calendar when your situation will change. There is a date, and the closer you come to it, the more difficult your life usually is at that moment. It's like birth pains. A sure sign that a breakthrough is coming is when all hell seems to be breaking loose against you. So stay the course. Keep the faith, and try to keep a positive attitude about the situation. You will overcome, and His word concerning you will come to pass. For one word from God changes everything.

    Prayer: Heavenly Father, I thank You for Your goodness. I know that You see me right where I am, that You have not forgotten me. Please strengthen me, build my faith, and draw my heart to You. Send Your word to me today, Lord. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen!

    Note: 'Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your request to God.'
