“TELL MY PEOPLE ~ WAIT JUST WAIT! 
​CONSIDER YOUR MEASURE OF OBEDIENCE TO WAIT, LIVE, AND WALK IN MY WAYS!

Dear Co-Laborers for the Cause of Christ…

In these uncertain times of Global Pandemic, the World is Waiting and Wondering How Long must we the Nation/World endure this Plague of Covid-19 Virus without relief? So, I decided to ask My Lord How Long?
He answered me saying: “JUST WAIT.”
Then, He began teaching me a lesson about “WAITING” ~ His WAYS OF WAITING ~ and that waiting is a PROCESS that is timed by God’s Theo-Clock of Time and Timings on His Time-Line of Events.

He Gave me recall of previous Visions/Dialogues and Assigned Scriptures:
“Keep your Lamps Burning.” He said. (Luke 12:35-48)

Then again, He gave the Vision of Brides in the Dressing Room, being dressed and waiting for the Bridegroom (vision told in previous posted message of April 15, 2020) concerning both the Wise Virgins who kept their Lamps burning and the Foolish Virgins who did not! (Matthew 25: 1-13)

IN THESE LAST WEEKS the LORD has taken me many places with Him to SEE Certain Conditions upon the earth, then guiding me deep into His Word. The work has been deep, at times worrisome, yet overtly encouraging as He brought me to understand THIS TIME we are experiencing is …
~ OUR TIME OF WAITING
~ WAITING through more of the PROCESS and PROGRESS
LEADING TO HIS VICTORIOUS RETURN!

He began with many examples of “The Waiting Servants,” as He referred to them ~ examples within the Old Testament…then in the New Testament…of those who WAITED (including Mary and Joseph who waited for confirmation of the Virgin Birth and more…Matthew1:18-24), and those who waited for Generations in expectancy of the Coming of The Savior (Isaiah 7:13-15).
Then the LORD emphasized the days when Mary and Martha sent word to Jesus to “Come. Lazarus, whom You love, is sick.” Yet Jesus WAITED days before going to Bethany (John 11:1-12, 19-27).
Yes, even JESUS understood the necessity of WAITING for the Theo-Clock of Time and the Perfect Timing on His Time-Line of Events.

The LORD also sent me to Genesis 6 to instruct me in HOW others (ordinary people like ourselves) served and survived their waiting season ~ a season that came upon them “suddenly” ~ changing their lives from that time forward ~ even as the world around them felt the JUDGMENT and JUSTICE of God ~ El Tsaddik ~ in situations similar to our days.
"So the Lord said, ‘I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them.’ But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.
Genesis 6: 7-8

Noah kept the teachings of the Patriarchs who came before him, having been shown how they followed the Ways of Jehovah. There is much evidence to suggest that Noah may have known several of the Patriarchs personally. Because of this ~ and his awareness of the length-of-years in the lives of these Men of God ~ he knew that waiting was part of God’s Ways.
In Genesis 5 we learn that Noah began having his sons when he was 500 years old. The LORD may have been talking with him for many years before we (through Scripture) are privileged to hear a moment of their conversation. “God said to Noah, ‘The end of all flesh has come before Me, for the earth is filled with violence through them; and behold, I will destroy them with the earth.’” (Genesis 6:13) This was Noah’s “suddenly,” followed by directions for constructing the Ark.

Yet what the LORD has led me to SEE is the LENGTHY WAITING period Noah endured as he continued to LIVE RIGHTEOUSLY and Walk with God contrary to the rest of his neighbors ~ the world around him.
Noah’s sons, Japheth, Shem, and Ham were born during this waiting time. He taught them the Ways of Jehovah as well as the farming techniques that fed them and the carpentry skills needed to build their own homes someday ~ as well as build the Ark when they grew to an age where they could help with its construction. THEN the actual creation of the Ark took many years, possibly as many as 75-80 ~ as we know that Noah was 600 years old when the Flood came (Genesis 7:6).

THIS IS ACTIVE WAITING
A WAITING OF RIGHTEOUS LIVING
A SEASON OF IMPARTING PRACTICAL SKILLS
A TIME OF SHARING AND TEACHING GOD’S WORD

While all the pandemically stricken/affected World seeks to “return to normal”
the LORD would have us SEEK HIM
~ SEARCH HIS WORD
~ LISTEN FOR HIS VOICE
~ CONTINUE LEARNING HOW TO FOLLOW HIS WAYS
~ AND BE THE ONES SPARED!

THEN the LORD led me back to many things He’s brought to my understanding concerning Abraham ~ pages upon pages of journaling the Words of the LORD and the depths He’s taken me to in order to SEE the Times of Waiting He used throughout TIME to develop His People. To share all this with you would take volumes. TODAY, the LORD would have me TELL HIS PEOPLE THIS…
Abraham was NOT always trustingly obedient. We know the story of the Promise of a son, Isaac. But Abraham chose not to wait and fathered Ishmael first, through Hagar (Sarah’s slave/servant) creating lasting consequences to this very day!
Even so, Abraham carried three major “Seed Promises:” 1st the Children/Generations beyond his years through which ALL the nations would be blessed; 2nd The LAND, the Promised Land and man’s possession/position on it; and 3rd The Covenant Relationship ~ OUR Covenant Relationship with God/Yahweh. ALL THREE leading to the Coming of the LORD, JESUS.

Immediately, the LORD gave me a Resounding Hearing and New Vision with sayings…
Abraham IS COMING
TELL THEM ABRAHAM IS COMING!
I pondered greatly the meaning of His Message ~ the NOW significance of His Words ~ and by His Grace I understand more. Perhaps it is a WARNING ~ because Abraham’s Seeds have become tainted ~ more and more tainted with each succeeding generation.

The Seed Promise of Children/Generations has an enemy today: abortion!
The Land Promise has an enemy: nations dividing Lands for profit and personal status.
The Covenant Relationship has many enemies: individuals and nations alike who reject the Righteous Ways of God!

As Abraham was sent out to walk the land (Genesis 12: 1-3), perhaps The Lord is sending him to walk the Land(s) again ~ to find the remnants of the original Generation SEEDS begotten and forgotten. Perhaps the Patriarch of Israel will be looking for Fathers ~ Church Leaders ~ who will Speak God’s Truth and Speak it LOUDLY! It grieves me to consider the Leaders who refuse to Lead Rightly. What PLACE in God’s Righteous Ways will they have?

WE MUST AGAIN CONSIDER that Jesus Himself was required to WAIT for His Destiny time ~ beginning with the CENTURIES-LONG awaited (prophesied) time of His Birth ~ to the 30 YEARS that proceeded His 40 DAYS in the wilderness ~ before His active ministry began. Then, once His disciples grew in number Jesus consistently taught them to WAIT and PRAY ~ PRAY with confidence to their FATHER, Who is in Heaven ~ that HIS Will be done on this earth as it is in Heaven.
On the Mount of Transfiguration, the three disciples were told to WAIT for Jesus while He went further. They waited ~ and they also were watching Him ~ thus able to witness the presence of two of Heavens Inhabitants (Moses and Elijah), sent from Heaven to comfort Jesus. Their Waiting was with purpose and effective! They saw the Indescribable Glory upon Jesus garments and His Face! AND learned many lessons about God and His Ways! (Matthew 17:1-5. Also suggest readings for deeper study…Matthew 24 as Jesus taught on the signs of the end of times.)

NOW…in THIS Time and Season of WAITING ~ we are CALLED to OBEDIENCE:
Obediently reflect upon these examples of the many unique Processes of Waiting ~ God’s Way!

We must Root our Focus on the LORD, JESUS and His Word focusing our Faith and trust in GOD our creator. As our Faith grows, we will see our position and purpose in these Waiting Times more clearly. As we open our hearts to hear the Holy Spirit, He will nurture the Good Seeds planted in generations past ~ showing us new and unique Ways to bring God’s Love, Peace, Joy and Salvation into this world.

Adonai KEPT HIS WORD to Noah, concerning the FLOOD…
And to Abraham fulfilling many Promises ~ in His Perfect FULL Timing,
As they ACTIVELY WAITED. HE will not fail us now!

The Israelites ~ Chosen People of God
Waited for Jesus’ First Coming and HE CAME!

THE LORD OUR GOD SAYS…
“NOW…
IN THIS HOUR OF WAITING ~ JUST WAIT!
CONSIDER YOUR MEASURE OF FAITHFUL OBEDIENCE
TO WAIT, LIVE, AND WALK IN MY WAYS!”

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

LET US BE FOUND WAITING
WITH PLENTY OF OIL IN OUR LAMPS FOR WE DO NOT KNOW THE HOUR.
LET US BE DRESSED AND WAITING FOR THE BRIDEGROOM,
FOR HE HAS BEEN REVEALED
IN THE COMING UPON THE CLOUDS
CLOUDS SHAPED LIKE A SCROLL,
STANDING UPON HIS WORD…JUDGING BY HIS WORD!

"Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage,
And He shall strengthen your heart;
Wait, I say, on the Lord!
Psalm 27: 14 ~ a psalm of David
