God speaks to us however and whenever He wants. We just need to be in position to recognize and listen.  Recently, I was standing in line at the grocery store and decided to look out the large windows at the scenery. Many people get anxious and impatient with people in front of them in the line. Standing in line is a test for at least three fruits of the spirit; patience, kindness and self-control.

             As I continued to look out the windows, I noticed the trees were moving in the wind. A thought came that you do not see the wind, but you see the results of the wind. At that moment in my mind I was thinking that God was moving and I would see the results very soon. But really it was my faith that was moving and progressing because everything was taken care of when Jesus said, “IT IS FINISHED.”

            As Believers, “we walk by faith, not by sight living our lives in a manner consistent with our confident belief in God’s promises.” (2Corinthian 5:7 AMP). Jesus is the author and finisher of our faith, so “the path we walk is charted by this faith, not by what we see with our eyes.” (2 Corinthians 5:7 The Voice). We have to go through the process from what was written, predestined and charted to the finishing, which is a daily process. Daily we must submit ourselves completely to “faith in Christ Jesus, leaning of your entire human personality on Him in absolute trust and confidence in His power, wisdom, and goodness.” (Colossians 1:4 AMPC). He knows the level of your faith as He knows the depth of your trust in Him. His hand is in your faith, the measure that He gave you. (Romans 12:3).

            The enemy has set your faith as a target of his relentless assault. Make no mistake in the warfare; he does not care about things. His devices are strategic to unseat you out of your position. He sends the twins of doubt and unbelief to dig and chip away combining with the natural element of time to pull you out of faith and into doubt and unbelief.

            We must be consistent, unwavering in firm adherence in our trust and faith in our God. “A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.” (James 1:8 KJV). The enemy wants your eyes so that he can keep you looking below what you have been called to see in the spirit. Keep your eye single with strict focus on the Lord. It is He who we trust in, but have not seen and His promise is what keeps us going. “God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?” (Numbers 23:19). “I will not violate My covenant, nor will I alter even one word of what My lips have spoken.” (Psalm 89:34 The Voice). It is happening, but you just have not seen the manifestation of His Word. Stand, it is closer than you think. Arrival is imminent.

            The Lord is ready to show off and demonstrate His glory in the earth through the manifestations of signs, wonders, and miracles. Have you even thought that you may be hindering the move of His hand? In the book of Matthew, there is a scripture that references hindrance because of unbelief.   ^“And He did not do many works of power there, because of their unbelief, their lack of faith in the divine mission of Jesus.”  (Matthew 13:58 AMPC). “The reason the Son of God was made manifest, visible was to undo, destroy, loosen, and dissolve the works the devil has done.” (1 John 3:8 AMPC).

            Keep your confidence watered and oiled daily with the Word of God. He sees you and He hears you. Become confident that He hears and will answer you according to His will. Set yourself to be in agreement with Him to walk out the path that He has planned for you. Remember above all, “Do not, therefore, fling away your fearless confidence, for it carries a great and glorious compensation of reward.” (Hebrews 10:35 AMPC). The blessing and favor of God is going to be so unprecedented and outlandish that it will terrify the wicked because they will know and realized without a shadow of doubt that only God could have done this thing for you.

 ^“The Lord does not delay as though He were unable to act and is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is extraordinarily patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.”

(2 Peter 3:9 AMP).

“By fearful and glorious things that terrify the wicked but make the godly sing praises do You answer us in righteousness, rightness and justice, O God of our salvation, You Who are tthe confidence and hope of all the ends of the earth and of those far off on the seas.

(Psalm 65:5 AMPC).
