Waiting for Your Miracle?

In this episode of Power Hour, Carlie Terradez continues the A to Z of Healing series with the letter WWaiting. If you’ve ever said, “I believe I’m healed, I’m just waiting for it to manifest,” this message is for you.

Carlie unpacks why waiting for a miracle was once a source of frustration for her—and how Scripture completely transformed her understanding. Using powerful biblical examples and relatable illustrations, she explains that biblical waiting is not passive delay, but a posture of confident expectation.

You’ll discover that waiting on the Lord doesn’t mean wondering if God will come through, but living with assurance that His promises are already at work beneath the surface. This episode will help you shift from uncertainty to faith, from frustration to anticipation, and from passively waiting to actively expecting.

If you’re believing for healing, restoration, or breakthrough in any area, this teaching will strengthen your heart, stir your faith, and remind you that your miracle belongs to you.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

  1. Why waiting is not wasted time
  2. The biblical meaning of “wait on the Lord”
  3. How confident expectation positions you to receive
  4. Why God isn’t holding your miracle back
  5. How faith and patience work together to bring manifestation
  6. What’s really happening while you’re waiting

Speaker A:

Welcome to Power Hour, where we believe it is God's will for you to be well.

Speaker A:

I'm your host, Kylie Terradez, and this podcast is created from the weekly live streams that I do every Thursday at 1pm Mountain time.

Speaker A:

Whether you tune in live or listen later, this message is something that you can receive today.

Speaker A:

Let's get started.

Speaker A:

Hey, everyone, it's that time again.

Speaker A:

It's time for Power Hour.

Speaker A:

Today I'm going to be carrying on, going through the A to Z of healing.

Speaker A:

Now, we are all the way through the Alphabet down to W today, and we're going to be talking about, are you waiting for your miracle?

Speaker A:

You know, this whole subject used to frustrate me so much, and one of the.

Speaker A:

One of the phrases that I really learned to disdain was, I believe I'm healed.

Speaker A:

I'm just waiting for it to manifest.

Speaker A:

It just seemed like it might show up, it might not show up.

Speaker A:

There was just a whole lot more frustration that circled around that, that statement of waiting for something to manifest.

Speaker A:

And it reminded me, you know, in England, we have a pretty extensive public transport system.

Speaker A:

And before I could drive, you know, I had epilepsy growing up, so I couldn't drive a car to public transport all the time.

Speaker A:

I get so frustrated because I have to get the bus everywhere.

Speaker A:

And buses would have this timetable, this schedule.

Speaker A:

You plan your life around being somewhere on time, get into work on time, working wherever you needed to be.

Speaker A:

And then the bus might or might not show up.

Speaker A:

And it was just like that whole schedule seemed to be just more of a suggestion than anything else.

Speaker A:

And it felt like I wasted a lot of time waiting for something that might show up, might not show up, or all the buses might come at once.

Speaker A:

It just frustrated me how there was no surety to it.

Speaker A:

And sometimes I think we can approach.

Speaker A:

We can approach the Promises God that way.

Speaker A:

Where we really want to be people that.

Speaker A:

People of faith that when we pray, we pray a prayer of faith because we know that James says the prayer of faith will save the sick, will heal the sick.

Speaker A:

But, you know, a prayer of faith is a prayer of trust and confidence.

Speaker A:

You can't have.

Speaker A:

You can't even pray a prayer of faith if you don't know if there is a question mark in your mind, if there's like that hanging uncertainty out there.

Speaker A:

This is, well, I'm going to pray, but I don't know if he's going to do any good.

Speaker A:

I mean, I don't know if it'll have any effect or not.

Speaker A:

And so we, we can approach sometimes the word of God and the promises of God with this attitude of, you know, I'm going to pray, but I'm just waiting, you know, just like that bus.

Speaker A:

Maybe it will show up, maybe it won't show up.

Speaker A:

And there's that whole air of uncertainty.

Speaker A:

And, you know, the word of God in Hebrews 11, verse 1, it talks about faith is being.

Speaker A:

Now, faith is the substance of things, not hope of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen, seen.

Speaker A:

And if you read it in the amplified, it says it's the title deed.

Speaker A:

It's the guarantee of the things that we hope for.

Speaker A:

So when we pray according to the word of God, whether that's for a miracle of healing or finances or whatever area you need a breakthrough in, we need to be praying a prayer of faith that it's acting like it's a guaranteed.

Speaker A:

If we're asking for something that God has already told us we can have when we pray, we can pray with confidence, knowing it's the.

Speaker A:

There's a guarantee to it.

Speaker A:

It's.

Speaker A:

There's no ambiguity.

Speaker A:

There's no.

Speaker A:

There's no wishing like it might show up or it won't.

Speaker A:

It may, or it may not show up.

Speaker A:

You know, can't.

Speaker A:

To pray with confidence and expectation is very powerful.

Speaker A:

But to pray like, I'm just gonna throw a prayer up there and see if it sticks, that is where we enter into the waiting game.

Speaker A:

And the waiting game is no fun whatsoever.

Speaker A:

So I really want to get into the state because I think this is going to help you.

Speaker A:

So, Father God, thank you that you have given us ears to hear today, that you have given us just ears to hear, a mind to understand and a heart to receive everything that you have for us today.

Speaker A:

In Jesus name, amen.

Speaker A:

Well, if you've got your Bibles, jump on into Psalm 27.

Speaker A:

This is a powerful Psalm, right?

Speaker A:

Psalm 27 and verse 13 and 14.

Speaker A:

I want to read this to you.

Speaker A:

It says, and I'm reading this in the new King James.

Speaker A:

I would have lost heart unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.

Speaker A:

Wait on the Lord, Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart.

Speaker A:

Wait, I say, on the Lord.

Speaker A:

Now this whole idea of waiting, like many people have when it comes to the promises of God, to, you know, them receiving their miracle.

Speaker A:

Many times I pray for people and we see instantaneous manifestations of healing.

Speaker A:

You know, I was just down there in Houston and then before that in Winnipeg and prayed for people and they Got instantaneously healed.

Speaker A:

One man had had Sciatica for like 15 years.

Speaker A:

He had all his pain go.

Speaker A:

Another lady had a problem.

Speaker A:

She couldn't move her wrist for like five years.

Speaker A:

It was all stiff and.

Speaker A:

And, you know, immovable in pain.

Speaker A:

And she.

Speaker A:

She was healed, right?

Speaker A:

So we saw people that were instantaneously healed.

Speaker A:

And that's common.

Speaker A:

But part of the reason behind that is I have an expectation that to see things happen in the instant because I believe that that is God's best.

Speaker A:

But when I read this scripture Here, in Psalm 27, it says there's some.

Speaker A:

There's some prerequisites here.

Speaker A:

I would have lost heart unless I had believed.

Speaker A:

You see, there is definitely a faith aspect in this, right?

Speaker A:

Unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.

Speaker A:

So there's an expectation of seeing something.

Speaker A:

We see this in that word believe.

Speaker A:

But then it says wait, wait on the Lord.

Speaker A:

And I think a lot of times this scripture gets taken out of context.

Speaker A:

We don't read the first part of the scripture and we hone in on the weight.

Speaker A:

And with our preconceived idea of waiting being that something might or it might not happen, we'll just have to wait and see.

Speaker A:

We kind of attach that.

Speaker A:

That attitude, that anticipation to when it comes to how we approach the Lord in difficult circumstances, or how we approach the Lord when it comes to the promises of God.

Speaker A:

So this, this misunderstanding of the word wait just really hinders us in receiving from Him.

Speaker A:

So I started to look this up.

Speaker A:

If you look this up in the original language, okay, so the Old Testament was written in Hebrew.

Speaker A:

So if you look it up in Hebrew, the word wait, it's not talking about something that might or might not happen.

Speaker A:

It's not talking about something that has even a time limit on it.

Speaker A:

It's not a date on the calendar.

Speaker A:

It's not a time on the clock.

Speaker A:

This isn't waiting as in a time frame.

Speaker A:

This is waiting as in a position of expectation.

Speaker A:

That's quite different.

Speaker A:

So it actually means to look eagerly, to hope, to anticipate with confidence.

Speaker A:

So it's something that's coming that we have a positive expectation of something good is going to happen.

Speaker A:

To me, there's a guarantee, there's a confidence.

Speaker A:

It's not about, let's just wait and see on the Lord, wait and see if Jesus shows up, or wait and see if he's faithful, or wait and see if he's good, or wait and see if he's going to answer my prayer.

Speaker A:

No, there's a confidence and a boldness about this waiting.

Speaker A:

And I started to ask the Lord about this.

Speaker A:

You know what, what kind of experience in my life would, would, would fit with this?

Speaker A:

How, how do I put this in a practical application?

Speaker A:

And if you remember when you were a little girl and Christmas, you know, you'd get the Advent calendar out.

Speaker A:

The Advent calendar.

Speaker A:

And every little.

Speaker A:

In England we had Advent calendars.

Speaker A:

I don't think they're quite as popular here in America.

Speaker A:

But you know, it go from the 1st of December all the way up to Christmas Day.

Speaker A:

And each day you'd open a little door.

Speaker A:

And sometimes there'd be like a little treat in there or whatever.

Speaker A:

And it's like a countdown to Christmas Day.

Speaker A:

And every day I'd open the little door of December as it got closer and closer and closer, or maybe, maybe you lit candles or something in your family, whatever you, did that Advent count right?

Speaker A:

And I'd get more and more excited.

Speaker A:

I wouldn't think, you know, man, I've got to wait.

Speaker A:

I want to think on the 2nd of December, man, I've got to wait another 20 something days.

Speaker A:

I wouldn't get angry and angry.

Speaker A:

Each day that went by, I'd get more and more excited because I knew, I knew that Christmas was coming.

Speaker A:

I knew that on December 25th there was going to be a Christmas Day.

Speaker A:

There was going to be presents for me.

Speaker A:

There was going to.

Speaker A:

There was, it was going to be exciting.

Speaker A:

Something good was happening and it was coming soon.

Speaker A:

And every day that went by, I didn't get more disappointed.

Speaker A:

I got more excited.

Speaker A:

And the Lord showed me this is the scriptural idea of waiting, that each, each day that goes by, we can get more excited knowing that our miracle is closer today than it was yesterday.

Speaker A:

Man, I encourage you, if you've been looking at waiting on the Lord from the negative perspective, this, this should help you to turn it around, right?

Speaker A:

We can get excited to say thank you, Lord, that I'm a day closer to, you know, to my breakthrough than I was yesterday.

Speaker A:

Thank you, Lord, that I got to wake up today, that I got.

Speaker A:

I get to have another day, that I get to have breath in my lungs, that I get that I get to serve you today, that I get to praise you today.

Speaker A:

Thank you, Lord.

Speaker A:

That I get to worship you today, that I get to read my Bible today.

Speaker A:

Thank you, Lord.

Speaker A:

You know, you can start getting excited that you're closer than to a breakthrough than further apart.

Speaker A:

Man, this, this is completely different from many people's understanding of the word waiting.

Speaker A:

So waiting on the Lord.

Speaker A:

If you're just joining us, we're talking about waiting for something.

Speaker A:

When we are waiting for a miracle, it's not like we're waiting for a bus, you know, when we're talking about a miracle, that miracle belongs to us.

Speaker A:

Because all of the promises in him are yes and amen.

Speaker A:

It says that in Corinthians.

Speaker A:

All of the promises in God are yes and amen.

Speaker A:

They belong to us.

Speaker A:

So we're not waiting.

Speaker A:

Wonder if it's going to show up.

Speaker A:

We're waiting with expectation.

Speaker A:

That word being a confident expectation of something good.

Speaker A:

David was the one that wrote this, right?

Speaker A:

And he wasn't talking about passively just standing around.

Speaker A:

He was talking.

Speaker A:

He's talking about expectation.

Speaker A:

You know, to wait here means to look eagerly.

Speaker A:

So this, this, and then it goes on.

Speaker A:

I'm reading here again from Psalm 27, verse 13 to 14 says, Wait on the Lord.

Speaker A:

Be of good courage, man.

Speaker A:

There's a steadfastness about that.

Speaker A:

And he shall strengthen your heart.

Speaker A:

Wait, I say, on the Lord.

Speaker A:

When we change our perception of waiting around to one that's positive rather than negative, we're literally strengthening our heart.

Speaker A:

We're stirring ourselves up, right?

Speaker A:

This is important.

Speaker A:

We're stirring ourselves up.

Speaker A:

So waiting is expectation.

Speaker A:

It's not delay.

Speaker A:

Now, this.

Speaker A:

This is a big deal.

Speaker A:

Waiting is not wasted time.

Speaker A:

Waiting is layering.

Speaker A:

Time is when we are building, when we are stirring ourselves up in our most holy faith.

Speaker A:

And we're layering faith upon a foundation.

Speaker A:

And upon a foundation, we're layering in faith, right?

Speaker A:

There isn't.

Speaker A:

There is a God.

Speaker A:

And the understanding is God is not holding back.

Speaker A:

Sometimes our misunderstanding of waiting comes from the belief system that God is holding something good back when he has the about ability and the power to deliver it.

Speaker A:

He's not.

Speaker A:

In Psalms, it says he does.

Speaker A:

He does not withhold anything that is good from you.

Speaker A:

Your breakthrough is good from you.

Speaker A:

His promises are good for you.

Speaker A:

Your deliverance is good for you.

Speaker A:

He is, you know, healing is good for you.

Speaker A:

Prosperity is good for you, right?

Speaker A:

Peace is good for you.

Speaker A:

God is not holding those things back.

Speaker A:

This is really important.

Speaker A:

And if we've had that mindset, it's not scriptural, it's just not scriptural, right?

Speaker A:

God is a good God.

Speaker A:

And it says in, in James that he, He.

Speaker A:

He gives good and perfect gifts.

Speaker A:

All good and perfect gifts.

Speaker A:

For from come from our Father in heaven, who is there.

Speaker A:

There is no shadow of turning.

Speaker A:

In other words, he doesn't Change his mind about the good gifts that he get that he's given to mankind.

Speaker A:

Praise the Lord.

Speaker A:

That's good news, right?

Speaker A:

So waiting isn't wasted time and God isn't holding back something good for you.

Speaker A:

Sometimes there is a period of time between, you know, God has already said yes to, to our promises.

Speaker A:

He's already said yes to you being healed.

Speaker A:

He's already said yes to your miracle, to your break.

Speaker A:

He's already said yes.

Speaker A:

But sometimes there is a period of time before we, our hearts get in alignment.

Speaker A:

You know, they're yes and amen.

Speaker A:

His promises are yes and amen.

Speaker A:

He needs our amen.

Speaker A:

He doesn't operate in his, in our lives just, you know, all controlling.

Speaker A:

We have free will and sometimes there is a, there is a heart position that we have that literally hinders us from receiving.

Speaker A:

And the moment that we, you know, that waiting really is almost like that.

Speaker A:

That period of time it takes us to get our heart posture into agreement with his promises.

Speaker A:

But waiting is the time when your faith grows.

Speaker A:

In that moment when we're looking with confident expectation.

Speaker A:

Confident expectation day by our faith is being stirred up.

Speaker A:

Our faith is growing.

Speaker A:

Our faith is layering precept upon precept, right?

Speaker A:

This is, we're, we're building a foundation of faith, super important.

Speaker A:

And our heart and our hope is being sharpened.

Speaker A:

You know, it's being clear.

Speaker A:

You know, hope is really important because it is linked to your imagination.

Speaker A:

Hope and expectation go together.

Speaker A:

You know, this, this, this idea of hope and this is, you can find this all through scripture.

Speaker A:

But hope is found in the mind.

Speaker A:

It's that when we start to see that expectation by the realm of our imagination, we start to see, see it.

Speaker A:

We start to see something in our dreams, in our imagination.

Speaker A:

Before we start to see something manifest in our physical world, hope is being sharpened.

Speaker A:

That picture in our imagination is getting clearer.

Speaker A:

Kind of like you know when you used to go and get used to photographs on an old fashioned camera and you'd have to, I don't know if anyone remembers that, but taking the, you'd have to take the real film into the film pharmacy or the chemist or wherever and they develop it and then you go back like a week later.

Speaker A:

I mean it took a long time, it wasn't instant.

Speaker A:

And you know, you'd get your pictures and you'd, and you couldn't see your pictures.

Speaker A:

You know, you take your pictures on your, on your.

Speaker A:

I'm doing it on my phone.

Speaker A:

I didn't take pictures on your phone.

Speaker A:

You took your pictures on your Camera, but there was no like, screen that showed you.

Speaker A:

You just had to kind of, you know, click it and wind it on.

Speaker A:

So you never actually knew what the picture, whether the picture came out or whether people had their eyes open or they were looking, you know, with their smiling or whether the lighting was just right or whether somebody's face was cut off.

Speaker A:

You could not see.

Speaker A:

The only, the only thing that you could see was by using your imagination and looking through the viewfinder of that camera.

Speaker A:

But you didn't know what was on the, on the film until you had it developed and you got those pictures back.

Speaker A:

You know, that is, this is, that's kind of like waiting.

Speaker A:

You know, we see in our imagination, hope, our imagination put is like a window through the viewfinder of that old fashioned camera, you know, and we see that by our imagination.

Speaker A:

And as we take, you know, that picture is taken and it's put onto the film.

Speaker A:

We cannot see it on the outside yet, but we know, we have a confident expectation that that image that we saw in the viewfinder has been put and transposed onto that reel of film.

Speaker A:

And then when we take it to get developed, there might be a period of time, but we get more and more excited as we wait for the picture to develop, knowing that we're going to get that picture back and then we're going to see it, you know.

Speaker A:

And so this, this idea of waiting is kind of like that picture being developed.

Speaker A:

And what happens in that period of waiting is that that picture gets clearer and clearer and clearer and it gets more and more developed until the whole image can be seen.

Speaker A:

And that's when we start to see that manifestation.

Speaker A:

So hope is being sharpened in this, in this season of waiting.

Speaker A:

Rather than getting frustrated, get excited, get expectant, amen and get thankful, it'll make that period of time a lot shorter.

Speaker A:

So waiting is not wasted time.

Speaker A:

And it's not God holding back out his blessing from us, but it's actually time when our faith is, is growing, is layered, it's developing and our hope and our images are being sharpened.

Speaker A:

You know, this is this idea of waiting.

Speaker A:

Jesus actually told his disciples to wait for something.

Speaker A:

I don't know if you remember what that was, but you'll find it here in the second chapter and the first chapter of Acts.

Speaker A:

Actually the first chapter of Acts, Jesus tells people, tells his disciples to do something.

Speaker A:

So in verse four, it says, being assembled with them, he commanded them, do not depart from Jerusalem, but wait.

Speaker A:

Wait for the promise of the Father, which you have heard from me, for John Baptized with water, but you should be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.

Speaker A:

He told them to go and wait in the upper room and expect to receive something.

Speaker A:

So now we have a New Testament example of really what biblical waiting is all about.

Speaker A:

Yes, they might.

Speaker A:

They, they needed to be somewhere at a certain time, in a certain place.

Speaker A:

But he says, go there and expect to receive something.

Speaker A:

So when they had come together, they asked him and says, lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?

Speaker A:

Now they'd gotten completely the wrong idea, but, but he said to them, it is not for you to know the time of the day, but look at verse, verse 8.

Speaker A:

But you shall receive.

Speaker A:

This is the whole point of your waiting, boys, is what he was saying to them.

Speaker A:

You shall receive power.

Speaker A:

That's Dunamis, miracle working power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you.

Speaker A:

And you shall be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.

Speaker A:

You know what?

Speaker A:

They, they followed his instructions and they went to the upper room and they waited.

Speaker A:

And the Holy Spirit with miracle working power and boldness upon every single one of them, all of them were filled.

Speaker A:

And all of them spoke with a heavenly new tongue.

Speaker A:

That was a powerful manifestation of that, of their obedience to that word.

Speaker A:

Wait, wait.

Speaker A:

God is doing something.

Speaker A:

Maybe you can't see it yet, right?

Speaker A:

Maybe you can't feel it yet.

Speaker A:

But you can be confident knowing that the Lord is working on your behalf.

Speaker A:

That delivery system, that creation process is moving things into place for you right now.

Speaker A:

And if you stay in a place of faith and confidence and hopeful expectation, that is biblical waiting, there will be power released.

Speaker A:

There will be manifestation for you.

Speaker A:

There will be freedom for you.

Speaker A:

Amen.

Speaker A:

There will be miracle working power dispensed on your behalf.

Speaker A:

That is powerful.

Speaker A:

I'm going to show you another example here.

Speaker A:

This is in Acts, chapter three.

Speaker A:

Okay?

Speaker A:

Acts, chapter three.

Speaker A:

Look at this.

Speaker A:

Now this is Peter and John went up to the temple at the ninth hour, the hour of prayer.

Speaker A:

And a man lame from his birth was being carried.

Speaker A:

People whom people placed, they placed him daily at the gate called beautiful, to ask arms from those who entered the temple.

Speaker A:

Now seeing, look at this.

Speaker A:

Seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, he asked for arms.

Speaker A:

Peter gazing at him with John said, look at us.

Speaker A:

Now this part is really important.

Speaker A:

This man waited every day at the gate, right?

Speaker A:

He waited to receive.

Speaker A:

You know, he was a beggar.

Speaker A:

He needed help from because he was crippled from, from, from birth.

Speaker A:

But he says, look at us.

Speaker A:

So he paid Attention, expecting to receive something.

Speaker A:

You know, this was a huge part of this man's breakthrough.

Speaker A:

Now Peter said, I don't have silver and gold, but what I have to you, in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I give to you.

Speaker A:

Rise up and walk.

Speaker A:

And immediately, immediately, you know, he took him by the right hand, raised him.

Speaker A:

Immediately his feet and ankles were strengthened.

Speaker A:

Jumping up.

Speaker A:

He stood and walked and entered the temple, walking with him.

Speaker A:

Jump.

Speaker A:

Walking and jumping and praising God.

Speaker A:

Now this is really important.

Speaker A:

I don't know if you understand what the gravity of this miracle was.

Speaker A:

This is a man that was lame from birth.

Speaker A:

So he'd never walked.

Speaker A:

And immediately his body didn't even know how to walk.

Speaker A:

His body had not developed the ability to walk.

Speaker A:

This wasn't something that he used to do that he had an injury and he was laid up and now he couldn't do it anymore.

Speaker A:

No, no, he was lame from birth.

Speaker A:

It never had the ability.

Speaker A:

He, his nerves, his muscles, his tendons, you know, even the ability to stand, you know, that's developed.

Speaker A:

Babies don't have the ability to stand when they come out of the womb.

Speaker A:

They have to learn that by exercise, by, you know, by, by being, by building themselves up.

Speaker A:

This man instantly not only had the ability, had strength in his body, but his brain also knew how to do it.

Speaker A:

Think about that from a moment.

Speaker A:

This is what happens when we wait upon the Lord and we look with confidence, confident expectation.

Speaker A:

That is biblical waiting.

Speaker A:

Not only do we receive that, that in just that, that inflow, that impartation of dunamis miracle working power, but you know, we get the ability to do things that are far beyond what our natural body even has the ability to do.

Speaker A:

This is the supernatural power of God being dispensed into a natural body.

Speaker A:

He was, he was not.

Speaker A:

It wasn't just.

Speaker A:

This wasn't just a healing of the, of the physical lameness of his body.

Speaker A:

This was all of the coordination.

Speaker A:

This was the years of growth and development sped up from birth to adulthood in an instant.

Speaker A:

In an instant moment, this man's body knew exactly what to do, even though it had never done it.

Speaker A:

Man.

Speaker A:

That's a phenomenal dispensation of power right there, man.

Speaker A:

Glory to God.

Speaker A:

This happened because this man was waiting and looking with expectation.

Speaker A:

He was looking with expectation.

Speaker A:

You can have a confident expectation of good when you're waiting upon the Lord.

Speaker A:

So when you might be thinking, I'm waiting for my miracle and it's taking such a long time, no, don't get on over into, into frustration.

Speaker A:

And fear stay in the place of faith.

Speaker A:

This is.

Speaker A:

Lord, I thank you, that miracle belongs to me.

Speaker A:

I thank you, Lord, that it's manifesting in my body because I'm speaking it by faith.

Speaker A:

I thank you, Lord, that your power is already on the inside of me and it belongs to me.

Speaker A:

No demon in hell is going to rob that from me.

Speaker A:

Thank you, Lord, that it's mine.

Speaker A:

I'm excited that every day I get stronger.

Speaker A:

Every day I have new abilities.

Speaker A:

Every day I have a day longer.

Speaker A:

Thank you, Lord.

Speaker A:

I. I'm waiting with expectation, you know, that's a different kind of waiting.

Speaker A:

There's power in that.

Speaker A:

Stir yourself up with expectation, right?

Speaker A:

He expected and that expectation opened the door for faith to act.

Speaker A:

And from that miracle to manifest, it literally opened the door, man.

Speaker A:

Really, really, really powerful stuff.

Speaker A:

I want to read you another scripture, really, that helps you tie this together.

Speaker A:

This is in Hebrews 6, verse 12.

Speaker A:

It says, imitate those who, through faith and patience, inherit the promises.

Speaker A:

You know, patience is a very similar word.

Speaker A:

It's not.

Speaker A:

It's not passive.

Speaker A:

It's a very strong word that.

Speaker A:

That's talking about that expectation again, but also not being moved, right?

Speaker A:

Not being moved.

Speaker A:

So the job of patience is to hold your faith in place in the waiting.

Speaker A:

You see the difference in the time between the yes and the amen on the promises of God.

Speaker A:

We know faith speaks when God says, yes, faith has spoken.

Speaker A:

But you know, when we get to the Amen, that, that period of time in between, and it could be milliseconds, it could be minutes, it could be days, who knows, right?

Speaker A:

But patience holds your faith in place so we don't get shipwrecked and, and quit in that moment of time.

Speaker A:

Really, really important faith holds that.

Speaker A:

A patience holds that faith in place until the amen shows up in your circumstances.

Speaker A:

Amen is the man is what creates that manifestation, right?

Speaker A:

It's not passive.

Speaker A:

It's a spiritual grounding.

Speaker A:

Too many people miss out.

Speaker A:

I think they abort their miracle.

Speaker A:

And before that miracle is birthed, because they quit, don't abort the miracle that God is doing on the inside of you right now.

Speaker A:

You know, we speak that miracle by faith.

Speaker A:

Don't abort the baby miracle that's on the inside of you because you quit.

Speaker A:

Don't give up.

Speaker A:

Let patience ground you.

Speaker A:

You know, the Lord showed it to me this way.

Speaker A:

Sometimes, you know, we'll.

Speaker A:

We'll take a seed like a farmer might take a seed and he'll dig a hole and, and he'll put it in the ground, and he'll cover it up with dirt, right?

Speaker A:

And then there's a period of time that that seed is growing, it is developing, it is putting down roots in the ground, and all of that is going on before that little first shoot breaks through the soil.

Speaker A:

But, you know, there's so much more going on that we cannot see.

Speaker A:

The farmer, it says in the scripture, the farmer, you know, they see time and harvest, and the farmer, you know, he sows.

Speaker A:

He doesn't understand the process, but he just knows there's seed, time and harvest.

Speaker A:

He knows when he plants a seed that the harvest is guaranteed.

Speaker A:

But if the farmer was to go out every day into his field with his shovel and say, okay, I'm just going to check on my seed and move away the dirt and dig up the seed and say, yep, here it is.

Speaker A:

Here's the seed.

Speaker A:

I have it still there.

Speaker A:

And then put it back in the ground and cover it up again, you know, because he's trying to check to see whether it's growing.

Speaker A:

That seed is not going to grow.

Speaker A:

It's not going to develop.

Speaker A:

Why?

Speaker A:

Because there is no faith.

Speaker A:

There's no confidence.

Speaker A:

You know, this is a term that you hear in the, in the business world as well, but trust the process.

Speaker A:

You can trust the process of faith.

Speaker A:

You can trust the process of faith.

Speaker A:

God's word will not return void.

Speaker A:

He's a faithful God.

Speaker A:

None of his words have ever failed to produce yet.

Speaker A:

He doesn't have a duff crop.

Speaker A:

He doesn't have dud seeds of faith.

Speaker A:

And he didn't start with you.

Speaker A:

You're not going to be the first crop failure, right?

Speaker A:

I mean, this is just not going to happen.

Speaker A:

Not on the word of God.

Speaker A:

The word of God works.

Speaker A:

The word of God is that seed.

Speaker A:

And when we plant that seed in the ground of our hearts, we can't keep digging it up with faith, checking.

Speaker A:

Well, did it work?

Speaker A:

Did it work?

Speaker A:

No.

Speaker A:

We take it by faith.

Speaker A:

Patience.

Speaker A:

Job is to hold that seed, seed of faith in your heart till you see the manifestation.

Speaker A:

Man, this is so powerful.

Speaker A:

You know, I had a.

Speaker A:

A young lady one time that came to a conference, and she was profoundly deaf.

Speaker A:

She'd never heard a day in her life.

Speaker A:

She, she did lip reading or whatever she did, but she was 18 years old.

Speaker A:

She'd never heard.

Speaker A:

And she came to.

Speaker A:

She came for prayer at a conference.

Speaker A:

And I'm standing there training a.

Speaker A:

A new prayer minister.

Speaker A:

And so we were praying together and we prayed over, this young lady and I.

Speaker A:

And honestly, nothing changed when we, when we Put our hands on her ears, and we commanded those ears to see, to hear, those ears, to see.

Speaker A:

Goodness sake, if those ears began to see, then we'd have a different issue.

Speaker A:

But we commanded those ears to open and she, she wasn't able to hear immediately.

Speaker A:

Nothing seemed to have changed to start with.

Speaker A:

And I could see the look on the face of the premises of standing next to me.

Speaker A:

And I said, don't you say a word.

Speaker A:

Don't you say a word.

Speaker A:

You know, if we can't say anything positive, if we cannot speak any words of faith, if they won't come out of our mouth, it's better to say nothing at all, right?

Speaker A:

So I said to this prayer minister, don't you say anything, Because I could see what was going on the inside of them.

Speaker A:

And I said to the young lady, you know, as you go from here, that, that word that we spoke is working on the inside of you.

Speaker A:

It's like a seed that has been planted.

Speaker A:

And I encouraged her with the.

Speaker A:

The lesson of the fig tree.

Speaker A:

Now, the lesson of the fig tree, I'm not going to go into it for time's sake.

Speaker A:

Here.

Speaker A:

It's mentioned in, in Mark and Matthew's gospel, but in one gospel it says that Jesus spoke to that fig tree and immediately it withered up.

Speaker A:

He cursed it because it was a fake fig tree, right?

Speaker A:

As an imposter, immediately it would.

Speaker A:

It.

Speaker A:

It.

Speaker A:

It withered up and died, right?

Speaker A:

But in the other gospel, in Matthew's gospel, it says the next day when they were walking past, they noticed the fig tree had withered up from, from the roots.

Speaker A:

So when was, when.

Speaker A:

When was the power of that word from Jesus released?

Speaker A:

Was it immediately or was it the next day?

Speaker A:

It seems to be a conflict, but actually it's both.

Speaker A:

You see immediately that Jesus spoke the word to that fig tree.

Speaker A:

Immediately that those words left his mouth.

Speaker A:

It went effectively to work on the, on the inside, underneath the ground in the root system of that tree.

Speaker A:

No one could see it above ground, the roots were underneath.

Speaker A:

But that word was working.

Speaker A:

His words had power.

Speaker A:

And when they were released, they went to work immediately.

Speaker A:

But it took a period of time before the disciples saw the effects of those words.

Speaker A:

Above ground, right?

Speaker A:

And this is just the same when we're waiting for something and we're waiting with a confident expectation of good.

Speaker A:

When we're waiting, as in the biblical sense, we know that God's word, when it's spoken in faith out of our mouth, it's gone immediately into the root system, system of our body.

Speaker A:

It's gone immediately to this.

Speaker A:

Every cell on the inside of us.

Speaker A:

It's gone immediately.

Speaker A:

It's been delivered to whatever situation that you need deliverance from.

Speaker A:

It's gone immediately into your finances.

Speaker A:

It's gone immediately.

Speaker A:

Right.

Speaker A:

And it's working.

Speaker A:

But sometimes there is a period of time before you see what is working, working its way out on the outside.

Speaker A:

It doesn't mean it's not working.

Speaker A:

It means it's not working where in a realm that you can see it yet.

Speaker A:

There's.

Speaker A:

There's a difference.

Speaker A:

So when we wait, we're waiting for that manifestation to be evident in the natural world, but it's being worked on right.

Speaker A:

Immediately that it's spoken.

Speaker A:

And you know, what happened with this young lady?

Speaker A:

This young lady, she went away really encouraged, because she knew that we had spoken to her ears.

Speaker A:

We.

Speaker A:

That he had commanded them to open up, and that word was working on the inside of her.

Speaker A:

She couldn't see it yet.

Speaker A:

She couldn't hear it yet, but she took it as a seed of faith.

Speaker A:

Well, the next day, I meet this lady again, this young woman, and she's crossing the parking lot ahead of me.

Speaker A:

I mean, she's quite far ahead.

Speaker A:

She's probably 50ft ahead, maybe, maybe more than that.

Speaker A:

She's the other side of the parking lot, and she's going on into the.

Speaker A:

Into the conference center.

Speaker A:

And I called to her.

Speaker A:

I'm behind her, so she can't see me.

Speaker A:

But I called to her, and for the first time in an instant, her ears popped open and she realized that she could hear her name being called.

Speaker A:

She spun around and she looked at me like she'd never heard before.

Speaker A:

It was a miracle that had happened right there in that moment, because she practiced that biblical waiting.

Speaker A:

Your miracle belongs to you.

Speaker A:

Her miracle belonged to her, and she did not allow it to get stolen from her because she didn't see a difference immediately.

Speaker A:

You know, so important.

Speaker A:

By faith and patience, we inherit the prophecies.

Speaker A:

Let your patience hold your faith in place.

Speaker A:

That's why the scripture says patience is having its perfect work.

Speaker A:

It's working its way out.

Speaker A:

It's being perfected on the inside of you.

Speaker A:

Amen.

Speaker A:

He is perfecting those things that concern you.

Speaker A:

You know, we started this out with Psalm 27.

Speaker A:

We started out with Psalm 27.

Speaker A:

I want to read the.

Speaker A:

Go back and finish off the last part of that.

Speaker A:

That scripture.

Speaker A:

Psalm 27, verse 14, because this is really important.

Speaker A:

It says, wait on the Lord.

Speaker A:

Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart.

Speaker A:

You know, so what do we do in the waiting.

Speaker A:

What happens in this period of waiting?

Speaker A:

Biblical waiting.

Speaker A:

While we're waiting, courage is being built.

Speaker A:

Courage is being built.

Speaker A:

While you're waiting, strength is rising.

Speaker A:

While you're waiting, God is working.

Speaker A:

Understand that.

Speaker A:

Start to see that, start to visualize it.

Speaker A:

So if you're waiting for a miracle today, don't lose heart.

Speaker A:

Don't lose heart.

Speaker A:

You know, waiting is not about a time.

Speaker A:

It's not about a time.

Speaker A:

It's not about a calendar appointment, but it's about standing with hope and confident, expectations, expectation and patience.

Speaker A:

Knowing that the promises of God are working in areas that maybe you cannot see yet, and knowing that his faithfulness never fails.

Speaker A:

God is faithful.

Speaker A:

He's faithful.

Speaker A:

Amen.

Speaker A:

You know, we're not waiting on the miracle to happen.

Speaker A:

Our miracle is waiting for our expectation to catch up with it.

Speaker A:

There's a difference.

Speaker A:

Let your expectation of open the door for your miracle.

Speaker A:

Amen.

Speaker A:

So, so important.

Speaker A:

So if you're here expecting a miracle day, be encouraged.

Speaker A:

I'm going to pray for you.

Speaker A:

And the Word is going to go immediately to work on the inside of you.

Speaker A:

The Word works and it doesn't return void.

Speaker A:

It doesn't.

Speaker A:

Otherwise the, you know, this, this Bible, you know, we wouldn't be able to stand on it.

Speaker A:

Every single word in this Bible is going to come to pass.

Speaker A:

Every single b.

Speaker A:

Every single word in this Bible is going to come to pass.

Speaker A:

Pass.

Speaker A:

And it doesn't.

Speaker A:

It doesn't return void.

Speaker A:

And he's already declared his will for you is yes and amen.

Speaker A:

It's already.

Speaker A:

It's already done.

Speaker A:

As far as the Father is concerned, his will for you is health.

Speaker A:

It's wholeness, it's deliverance, it's restoration, it's peace, it's safety, it's freedom, it's favor, it's prosperity.

Speaker A:

That's his word for you today.

Speaker A:

So no matter which part of that rainbow of promises fits your miracle, you have one.

Speaker A:

You have.

Speaker A:

It's secure in Him.

Speaker A:

He's perfecting that which concerns you.
