However, there is an area I am becoming familiar with that is a problem; when there is something that needs a decision to take it to the Lord and wait for His direction or guidance before answering or acting. Even getting advice before answering or acting is a form of waiting. The story of the chrysalis and the goo will be a good reminder!Becky's Blogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07488659187808053344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4798339239075786392.post-71396647096000592202009-03-04T14:26:00.000-07:002009-03-04T14:26:00.000-07:00Whew!

The ...James 1:4 let patience have her perfect work. The word perfect in the greek in this passage means complete. When I think of this it brings me back to grade school. I remember being in Mrs. Liston's class and learning about "The Growth Process of a Butterfly". <BR/><BR/>First we have a little larva that becomes a caterpillar. The next step is a very important in the process of the butterfly. The caterpillar will spin a chrysalis and it will be in there for a few days or weeks the time cannot be exactly determined. My classmates and I would come to school waiting for the caterpillar to hatch hoping to see a beautiful butterfly. Finally after two and half weeks of waiting we saw a beautiful purple and blue butterfly. Boy was it a sight to see.<BR/><BR/>Well in our class we had another caterpillar in it was another chrysalis. We were so excited to be able to see another butterfly and this one had been in its chrysalis for around the same duration. But Daniel an overly eager kid in my class thought that the butterfly was ready and it needed to come out as well. And you can guess what happened next he cracked open the chrysalis and out came a bunch of goo. <BR/><BR/>Many of us at times can be like that kid Daniel eager to get the process is over. But only God knows when your harvest is coming. Just because someone else got their harvest yesterday or today doesn't mean that you should have yours too. You see the time in the chrysalis depends on each butterfly. If opened before it's time it will not be a butterfly it will just be goo. I looked in the dictionary what chrysalis meant and it means "A protected stage of development." God has you right in a protected stage of development. He wants to make sure that harvest will be plentiful. He wants your character to be fully developed, your hurts to be completely healed, and your mind and heart to be transformed. <BR/><BR/>Will you be one who allows your hurt to fully be healed and character to be developed so that you can be the clay that is molded into a pure vessel created by the hands of the Potter? <BR/><BR/>Or will you try a short the process and not allow a full transformation and become goo?<BR/><BR/>Wait.tmk84https://www.blogger.com/profile/00131667879090319555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4798339239075786392.post-56121179334182311462009-03-04T00:22:00.000-07:002009-03-04T00:22:00.000-07:00Waiting is a virtue!And I wait upon the Lord!Prais...Waiting is a virtue!<BR/>And I wait upon the Lord!<BR/>Praise be to God for His Waiting upon me,who am I that he should serve me?<BR/>I no longer live for I have been crucified with Him and so now the life I now live I live for Him!<BR/>So what is waiting really?<BR/>Let me give something to you all that the lord gave me and i have been blessed evr since he gave me this about waiting.<BR/>Delays ,delays patience....more delays,more patience,seasons of learning,seasons of increasing wisdom,times of growing,serving and study.Why the delays?<BR/>They are -are not to me says the Lord,they are part of the plan,for i have called you-not for delays but for fruit fruit and more fruit.<BR/>So is there any such thing as a delay?Certainly not in the kingdom,it is Only a word we use!<BR/>Be Blessed Jesus LoversAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4798339239075786392.post-76644772281621857792009-03-03T23:19:00.000-07:002009-03-03T23:19:00.000-07:00Ya know as we are all experiencing this Waiting ro...Ya know as we are all experiencing this Waiting room process and all wanting abundance in our lives in every area, this waiting room makes me realize I am not ready. I'd like to think I am and maybe God will qualify the called. As of now I am not qualified but I know I'm called. Lately God has blessed us with more than enough and I praise God for his abundance but I REALLy realize how much my abundance is in him. I need him for my true riches and happiness. I need to be filled with him everyday. I shutter to think what I would be without him. I wouldn't want all the riches in the world if i didn;t have him! I know I would not be happy.

"Everything will seem to be falling apart all around you as you wait but God will make himself known to you". I will not be focus on the fact that things are falling apart. All my focus will be on God and only on God. "All I need is Jesus plus nothing." I won't only say that or believe it but I will live it. I pray that God will show me the door of opportunity that is awaiting me. I don't want to miss the waiting room, I want to go there and enjoy my time with God. I never want to be in such a hurry that I forget or over look to stop in the waiting room first and seek God.Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03637839877110028035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4798339239075786392.post-84165160917319089652009-03-03T21:22:00.000-07:002009-03-03T21:22:00.000-07:00aaahhh....I think I've got it!!!

However, I was under the impression that you will reach the other side, you will "arrive" at your final destination of having abundance. But I think I understand now....HE is the abundance, and you will find Him while you are in the waiting room!!!! By the time you reach the other side, you will have acquired all that you could ever dream of in Him and the riches and material things will be an added blessing without sorrow.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for going through all of life's trials and experiences and sharing this treasure map you have discovered!Chastityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09456659134940444134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4798339239075786392.post-14233402152564427432009-03-03T20:52:00.000-07:002009-03-03T20:52:00.000-07:00I agree with that teaching because I was starttin...I agree with that teaching because I was startting to get very faustrateed so I started.

The Lord has given me time to evaluate myself and my actions. He has shown me so much during this time. <BR/><BR/>I have learned to focus on the Word more than ever. I have had many choices to make during this time, and I have needed to SEEK HIS way not my way. I have found that through the process of Being Still I have been able to know Him in a more intimate and personal way than ever before. <BR/><BR/>Is paitence not Longsuffering??? I believe we forget that to often. <BR/><BR/>I know that if we look for problems they will and can always be found. But if we look for guidance fill ourselves with His joy and depend upon the Lord, he is faithful to show and direct us in his steps.

I have learned patience can payoff. If I left the lobby before the decision maker arrives, I risk losing the opportunity to discuss business with him and that can cost me hundreds of dollars that the next salesmen can capitalize on. I am a firm believer that if you are patient in any aspect of your life and put your trust in the Lord, you will come out a winner whether you succeed in the moment or not.shawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03750860408227376199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4798339239075786392.post-7207779641646179622009-03-03T17:59:00.000-07:002009-03-03T17:59:00.000-07:00Psalms 46:10 Be still, and know that I am God: Th...Psalms 46:10 Be still, and know that I am God: This is what I have been reflecting on recently because three years ago, I was not patient. I had trusted God fully up to that point in a number of areas of my life, and suddenly, I knew EVERYTHING and didn't consult Him, let alone wait on him....I took off in a direction that pulled me away from His light and I have had to deal with the consequences of that bad choice ever since. We do reap what we sow; I have discovered a deeper meaning to "Be Still", and now I wait upon the Lord!

When you go to an appointment you want them to be ready for you right then.<BR/>Those who are content in Christ know that the waiting room is where you learn and grow. As a young girl, and as I got older, all I ever wanted to be was a wife and a mother. As the opportunity's came for me to "sneak in the back door" as you put it, I took some of them, but I always found myself RUNNING back to the waiting room. I knew that God had someone special for me, but sometime the waiting and not know can get the best of us. The root issue is a matter of control, and learning to let God be in control of every little area in your life. That is where you find contentment! It gives you a worry free life. <BR/>I remember getting to that place when I was 20 years old, finally realizing that I didn't NEED boy in my life and I was happy being just me. I grew so close to the Lord during this time. Distractions tried to come my way but thankfully the covering and protection of a spiritual father in my life kept me on the right path.<BR/><BR/>If it wasn't for the waiting room, I wouldn't have the amazing man of God that I do today for a husband. I wouldn't have the blessed marriage that I do because JESUS is the center and that is something I learned how to do only in the waiting room! I thank God for his timing and teachings in THE WAITING ROOM! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4798339239075786392.post-67919084114689621492009-03-03T15:10:00.000-07:002009-03-03T15:10:00.000-07:00Yes!

I am more and more encouraged and more and more expectant of great blessings not only for me personally but for the ministry as a whole. There is such a stirring and building up of faith. It is causing me and I am sure others to get up each morning with a desire to serve God wholeheartedly and with great passion. I see such a release in the spirit. Those that have been paralyzed by unbelief are being activated into a faith with feet. There is a quickening that is happening and a great excitement for the things of God. This freash word is coming forth like a wooing from the Lord. Many are finding the Love of God as if for the first time and are not only are rejoicing as they wait on Him but now are overflowing with a desire to serve Him and His people. I believe the Lord is releasing a great evangelistic movement and is calling the laborers to go and be a part of the harvesting of souls. God is so smart. He gave us such a great way to make our "waiting" time the most blessed time of our life.

When I'm content to just be where I am, that's when God comes through. It's like waiting on a spouse, when are are just content being single- you and Jesus plus nothing- that's when God brings you the perfect person for you. <BR/><BR/>One of my favorite scriptures is Isaiah 40:31 says, "but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." When I'm in the waiting room I'll remember to put my trust and hope in the Lord.ashleynelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04546654045041494991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4798339239075786392.post-36534075893176242292009-03-03T10:12:00.000-07:002009-03-03T10:12:00.000-07:00Well, although I have been struggling in many area...Well, although I have been struggling in many areas of my life as of late. <BR/>I know without a doubt that in the end, heaven is not the final destination point. <BR/>I do not wish to or am not trying to contradict the bible in any way but rather, what I am trying to say is that you must have a knowing and understanding that you were saved by God and were suffered not to go to hell. <BR/>So what I am saying is that in the end what it really comes down to is worshiping God in spirit and in truth and wanting Jesus plus nothing.<BR/>Heaven is/was just a perk for believing and serving/worshiping the one that saved and redeemed you.<BR/><BR/>"WHEN" not if but "WHEN" I make it to heaven, to the feet of GOD, I would only want to worship Him...<BR/><BR/>Not to be a display or make myself sound good but why would I not?<BR/>Why not worship the one who never left nor forsook me?<BR/>Why not worship the one who not only gave me just enough but more than enough?<BR/>Why not worship the one who saved and redeemed me?<BR/>Why not worship the one who loved me and forgave me no matter how many times I spit upon Him and went against His wishes?<BR/>Why not lie at His feet and forever worship Him?<BR/>Why not?<BR/><BR/>Am i saying that I can/will forever worship Him?<BR/>At the moment I can honestly say I might get tired/bored or whatever of even the thought of it...

The line of work I was in got slow and I had to go back to an average paying job that I did not want to go back to. It was a year long process. In that time I humbled myself and let the Lord know I trusted him and I would do what ever He wanted me to do. I chose to not complain, grumble or things like that. I spoke words of life into the time of waiting, and I also tried new things at the same time. In a sense I was scattering seeds and just seeing which ones would bloom. Than opportunity arose for the work I did and I took a step of faith for I was under qualified in the "worlds view", but I left the outcome in God's hands and I waited. A week after being rejected I got a phone call from the same company and was offered the job!PTL! The 2nd day I was there I layed hands on a truck at the company I started at and I trusted in the Lord and I waited. (There was not a chance for me to have a company vehicle in anyway because of my past) I let God know I didn't know how He was going to do it but I believed He could do ALL things. About 4 months later the owner of the company literally gave me the truck I laid hands on free and clear!! <BR/><BR/>This was all something I had never experienced, and it all started with the teachings of tithes and offerings, speaking words of life, conversation with you destiny and on and on. God has anointed Bobby in such a way to help others and bless others. There are so many teachings that God has used and brought forth the remah words,and breakthroughs in the mind...<BR/><BR/>Psalm 94:12<BR/>Blessed is the man you discipline, O LORD,<BR/>the man you teach from your law<BR/><BR/>I pray that all will get the revelations, breakthroughs, and blessings from these teachings of God's law. AmenJonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11829849285441012956noreply@blogger.com
