NOW IT WAS TIME FOR THE DISCIPLES TO STOP: STOP POUTING STOP DOUBTING STOP RUNNING STOP FEARING AND START “WAITING”

ISRAEL AND HER PEOPLE SEEMED TO HAVE TO WAIT ON EVERYTHING THEY HAD TO WAIT 400 YEARS FOR DELIVERANCE FROM EGYPT THEN 40 YEARS IN THE WILDERNESS ABRAHAM HAD TO WAIT, NOAH HAD TO WAIT, THE WAITED FOR MESSIAH, MANY ARE STILL WAITING NOW JESUS HAD RESURRECTED AND HIS DIRECTION TO HIS DISCIPLES IS “WAIT” I BET YOU ARE WAITING ON GOD TO DO SOMETHING FOR YOU RIGHT NOW

LET’S LOOK AT WHAT “WAIT” MEANT TO THE O.T. JEWS ISAIAH 40:31 BUT THEY THAT WAIT (QAVAH=TO BIND OR BE TWISTED TOGETHER WITH, EXPECT, TARRY) UPON THE LORD SHALL RENEW THEIR STRENGTH; THEY SHALL MOUNT UP WITH WINGS OF EAGLES; THEY SHALL RUN AND NOT BE WEARY; THEY SHALL WALK AND NOT FAINT ACTS 1:4 ….“WAIT (PERIMENO=STAY AROUND TOGETHER EXPECTANT) FOR THE PROMISE….

MUCH IS HAPPENING ON THE INSIDE OF US WHEN WE WAIT ON THE LORD

GOD IS PREPARING US TO GO GOD IS PROMOTING US SPIRITUALLY GOD IS POLISHING US INWARDLY GOD IS PUTTING HIS POWER in US TO “GO” LET’S LOOK AT THE PROCESS OF WAITING

ATTENTIVELY LEARN-ACTS 1:3 TO WHOM ALSO HE SHOWED HIMSELF ALIVE AFTER HIS PASSION BY MANY INFALLIBLE PROOFS, BEING SEEN BY THEM FORTY DAYS AND SPEAKING OF THE THINGS PERTAINING TO THE KINGDOM OF GOD – Basileca=the place where royality rules from – Lk 17:21-the Kingdom of God is within you

AUTHENTICALLY YIELD-ACTS 2:4

AGGRESSIVELY “GO”-ACTS 1:8

LET’S PRAY THAT WE GROW IN HIS PRESENCE THAT WE KNOW HIS PROMISES IN THE WORD THAT WE GO IN THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
