Pastor Mike Addison is back from the mission trip to Uganda. Today he preached on patience in the room the text is Acts 1:12-16.
Prayer and patience two things believers can not do with out. Its what the 120 did before there was power there was prayer.
It is funny how when you wait you are good at math. Waiting reveals yours fears, your insecurities, your control issues, and your doubts.
1 Corinthians 15:6 380 people missed the promise because they did not wait. Patience is a fruit of the spirit no one likes. Patience is active not passive.
Luke 24:49 wait for the promise. Isaiah 40:31 those who wait on the Lord will renew their strength.
The waiting room is also a delivery room. You can miss your promise if you are not praying and studying.
When God says wait He is not saying nothing is happening; however He is saying something is coming.
Meals are better in crockpot than in microwave. It might seem like you are wasting however waiting is working. It pays to wait.
Acts 1:14 they was constantly in prayer. Prayer is the key to everything in life because prayer is communication. If you are not listening you are not praying.
If everything came instantly there would be no working and it pays to wait. If New Hope had got in a hurry they would have spent money they did not have to.
If you are in a season of waiting just know God is working.
