Why Not Wait on the Lord!

If you're bruised and tired of being hit on all sides, why not wait on the Lord!  When you know that you're in the cross-hairs of Jezebel, isn't His presence the best place to be?

It is so amaizing that the Lord has provided a safe place that we can run to in the time of trouble ----under His wings.  In Ps. 91, He says we can dwell in the shelter of the Most High.

Not only can we come and sit in His presence and catch our breath, but He will strengthen us. 
Is. 40:31 says, we will be able to fly above the storm with wings of eagles.

 Maybe it would be wise to back track a little.  When you worship before the Lord and realize that you've entered His peace and His presence, just sit there quietly.  This is "waiting on the Lord".  Many scoot out quickly because nothing seems to be happening, but that's because YOU are doing  nothing.  However, the Lord is full of activity at this time!

If you can only manage to be patient and wait, you'll find great rewards for your lack of productivity.  He may speak to you or download something, but most of the time, however, it will seem like nothing is happening. 

Whenever we are in His presence, GREAT things are happening----most of which will not be realized right then and there.  Learn to patiently soak quietly in His presence.  It is always rewarding!

This, my friend, is one of the best ways to combat all those 'nasties' your may encounter from your friend, Jezebel.  Truly, you will find yourself above the clouds of the storm and able to function calmly and wisely.  You won't find yourself crumbling and weak.  Even though there may be a battle going on, it won't have its desired effect upon your soul.  You will know that Your Father has your hand and you're not alone.

He may be allowing a work to go on in your life, but you will not be under things, but on top.  Then why does He allow all this to come your way?  So you will come and sit before Him in His presence and get to know Him more.  Waiting on the Lord eases the pain and provides relief for you and He gets what He wants, too---YOU!  Wait on the Lord!!!

Understanding the Spirit of Jezebel--Part I


Pastor Stephen Darby does an excellent job scripturally exposing Jezebel's role in the church.  As a pastor, he views the problem in a broader sense and explains how devastating this can be to the Body of Christ.  He's a little nervous in PartI but relaxes to a nice steady flow.
