It's On the Way!

We all go through those moments of waiting. We wait, wondering if the Lord has indeed heard our prayers and if He heard what's the "hold-up"? In our eyes, time is of the essence. Our patience begins to short-circuit.

Sometimes frenzy and anxiety shows up and plays with our heads. When Lord becomes our plea. God heard you the first time. It's On the Way! He's not slack concerning His promises! Prophet Daniel had a similar experience. His waiting period was three weeks (21 days) of mourning. The great news is there was an end to his waiting period.

You can be encouraged and strengthened, because your waiting period in some areas is almost over. It's On the Way! Prophet Daniel received an explanation of his wait period.  Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand , and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard , and I am come for thy words. But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me. (Daniel 10:12-13)  It's On the Way! 

Get in the receiving mode. You can rejoice, because your answer has been Held Up, Delayed, but Right On Time!

Give Him Praise. It's On the Way!

MIND, Mind, MIND!!!!

There is a commercial that has been around for years. The words that have always rung in my ears are, "A MIND is a terrible thing to waste". A saying of old, "You can do anything you put  your MIND to". I have always received this as true in my life. I believe there is nothing I can not do. I CAN do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. (Phillipians 4:13, KJV) The key is do I want to do it. Somethings are just not interesting to me.

Readers, I hope this is not difficult to understand. If I don't do it, its not because I can't. Can't is not in my vocabulary and it shouldn't be in yours. I know where my stance comes from, as I stated earlier in this blog. Our MINDS are so powerful. If we only understood fully. Our MINDS can trip us up, if we're not careful. We can sit in one spot and travel around the world through our MINDS.

Sadly to say, there are MIND sicknesses. Some people are just sick in the MIND, BUT God is able to heal the MIND. If the enemy can get your MIND, he's got you. Because the carnal MIND is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. (Rom. 8:7-8, KJV) 

No doubt there are times our MINDS are all over the place, but the Bible teaches us how to focus. God's promise to you, Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose MIND is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.
(Isaiah 26:3)

MIND, Mind, MIND!!!!
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus. (Phillipians 2:5, KJV)
