The Entire family is being prepared.
You are often encouraged to patiently wait for God's direction as well as for His rescue in the midst of your storms. And your reminded that God's timing is always perfect and always with a purpose, and that He is faithful to work in your life according to His perfect plan. But waiting is hard! Even when "you know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him" (Romans 8:28), It's still hard!
God will always make His way clear. But also understand that His timing almost always requires more patience than what you've been given. When you gave your life to Jesus, transformation began He gave you His Spirit to dwell within you to produce fruit: " Love, joy, peace, patience..." (Galatians 5:22-23). You have been given a certain measure of patience, but I sure need more!
Look back at the last few years, “You’re in the End Time Years” God’s family has been in a continual search for God's directions. Each in His Family has been called to ministry work; however, you have never completely understood the extent of this call. God’s entire family is being prepared to follow, but clear direction has been lacking...and so you wait. The result has been that your eyes and thoughts are daily focused on Jesus waiting to see if the cloud will move as it did with Gods people when they were taken out of Egypt. And through the process you are learning the importance of patience.
James 5:7-8 "Be patient, then, until the Lord's coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop and how patient he is for the autumn and spring rains. You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord's coming is near." Notice that the farmer is waiting for things completely out of His control. He has done the work of plowing the ground and planting the seed; now He must wait for God to produce the crop.
No matter what your circumstances are, if you have been saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, you can rest assured that He is at your side directing your steps. Sometimes God's direction comes by way of outward events and changes that you can see with your eyes, but often His direction comes in the form of inward changes and growth - such as more trust, more love...and more patience. Your "work" is to take each step He reveals and then wait for God to produce the crop and love Him with all your heart.
Deeply appreciate your extended time until His arrival. Encourage each one in your life and pray for the clarity of God's direction and the boldness to follow where He leads you.
