#130: When It Doesn’t Look Like What God Said

May 13, 2023

What do you do when it doesn’t look like what God said?

We’ve all been there. We hear the Lord speak to our heart, we craft the vision board, we support the promise with scripture. And then . . . we wait.

Let me ask you, how well do you wait? Does doubt creep in? How about disappointment?

What do you do when you begin to believe that there’s NO way that what God said could come to pass, or when you’re completely gutted with the belief that it’s just taking too long? How do you get back to faith in what God has said?

I’m sharing the two things you must do when it’s not looking like what God said, so you can stay on the path to seeing the promise come to pass. If you’re ready, grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let’s Go!

Scripture References Mentioned in This Episode:

Habakkuk 2:2-4
And the Lord answered me: “Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it.For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end—it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay. “Behold, his soul is puffed up; it is not upright within him, but the righteous shall live by his faith.

Hebrews 11:1
Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.

1 Corinthians 13:12
For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.

Revelation 2:1-5
“To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: ‘The words of him who holds the seven stars in his right hand, who walks among the seven golden lampstands. “‘I know your works, your toil and your patient endurance, and how you cannot bear with those who are evil, but have tested those who call themselves apostles and are not, and found them to be false. I know you are enduring patiently and bearing up for my name’s sake, and you have not grown weary. But I have this against you, that you have abandoned the love you had at first. Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent, and do the works you did at first. If not, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent.

Isaiah 55:11
So shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.
