Are We Willing to Wait for as Long as It Takes?
My Scripture this morning got my attention straight up!
Psalm 62:5-8 In The Passion Translation it is labeled:
“Unshakable Faith”
“I am standing in absolute stillness, silent before the one I love, waiting as long as it takes for him to rescue me.
Only God is my Savior, and he will not fail me. For he alone is my safe place. His wraparound presence always protects me as my champion defender.
There’s no risk of failure with God! So why would I let worry paralyze me, even when troubles multiply around me? God’s glory is all around me! His wraparound presence is all I need, for The LORD is my Savior, my hero, and my life-giving strength.
Trust only in God every moment! Tell him all your troubles and pour out your heart-longings to him. Believe me when I tell you — he will help you! Pause in his presence.”
As I sat in silence before the only Voice I so desired to hear, The LORD spoke, “Beloved, I AM well-pleased with your silent heart.
I AM here to wrap you up tenderly with My Presence. I AM filling you with the comfort of My unconditional Love to carry you through the darkness of this time when evil seems to be running ahead and making no room for My Goodness.
I desire for My Family to know that Love is never weak, and true strength never lacks tenderness.
I AM always here for you to drink of My Spirit of deep Love and Assurance,” says The Lover of our soul.
“Tenderness of heart and gentleness of spirit is so needed, in this time of cruelty and hardness of heart.
Stress has hit so many who are weary like a big punch in the stomach causing their spirit man to crumble under the impact of it’s tension,” says The Father.
“The enemy intended to send grief to man’s spirit, but I AM entering the battle for your soul today, and I AM telling the enemy, “it is enough,”” says The LORD.
“I AM putting My Arms around those whose disappointment has destroyed their hopes, and whose expectations for My Promises to be fulfilled, have been frustrated to the point of total hopelessness.
Tell your soul to chill out, and wait in silence for me once more, just as My Word reminds you, I will never fail you, and I AM working patience in you for your next step is a large step.
I AM your Rescuer and your Hope for tomorrow. In this moment of silent trust, I adjure you to make a decision to understand there will always be actions from people and circumstances that surround you that you have no control over.
But know that I AM in control, and I have also given you a measure of control over your lives as well.
You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control your response. When the evil one comes knocking at your door, you can choose not to answer it. It is your choice.
Beloved, in this hour, I see My People operating in a lack of discernment by not asking for the understanding and discerning of spirits I look to bestow upon them.
You will never be able to control how others choose to act or speak, that sometimes colors your circumstances,” says The Father.
“So I have come to encourage you that allowing your emotions to get out of control and not letting My Mind be in you is causing destruction in your life that you can stop.
You are heading to a dead-end street in this season, if you do are not willing to let go of your desire to be in control or control others.
So begin, to speak to you soul to be still, chill out, and submit to your spirit man. Let your spirit lead you forward into your promised land,” says The LORD of All.
“Misinterpretations are on the rise. Misunderstandings are at a new high,” says The Holy Spirit.
“It is the now time to respond in the opposite spirit, speak softly, and turn the other cheek. Do not be moved by someone’s expression.
Don’t let their controversial words push you to the edge when these things are only a part of the daily pressures that are building to a high explosive level in the world,” says The LORD.
“Know that it is urgent that you accept those things you cannot change, change those things that you can and always, ask for wisdom to know the difference.
In this era of high tension, be silent in my presence for it is your safe place, your restoration place, your place of intimate moments and tenderness for your soul,” says The One True God.
“Let My Corrections be the guiding light that leads you to deeper maturity in this moment of turnaround. Endurance is being formed as you embrace new courage.
Everlasting Hope is being renewed as you shut the door to hopelessness. Peace that passes all understanding is filling your hearts afresh as you sit in my presence in silent willingness to wait for your God alone,” says The God of All the World.
“My soul, wait silently for God alone, For my [c]expectation is from Him. He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defense; I shall not be moved. In God is my salvation and my glory; The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. Trust in Him at all times, you people; Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. Selah.” Psalm 62:5-8 NKJV.

Thanks so much for your prayers, & time to reply me. God heal you with the precious blood of Jesus Christ. More anointing & divine strength on you to do God’s work Dear Sandi.
Sister Sandi,
The prayer that Jesus taught His disciples “Deliver us from evil/evil one” is the cry of the community, and not the individual. We have lost this sense of fighting together, and we are fighting one another. This must stop. The King has made us one, not two! The body of Christ has not been properly taught, and the false gospel that has been perpetuated and proclaimed consists of the American dream, the individual, and its myopic focus on self. Evil has been perpetuated because of this insidious proclamation, and not the Gospel of the King and His kingdom. An another result of this naive, demonic, and childish focus on self is that we end up thinking that being right about a person, event and situation are more important than about the King’s purposes being advanced in the Earth. The battle is here, and many are fighting one another… instead of the real enemy, which is not flesh and blood. Humility, trust, and childlike faith are still the banners of this Kingdom, and the only way to advance the purposes of the Kingdom to the Nations and its inhabitants. Rise up, body of Messiah! All allegiance and honor to King Jesus!
So well said, Brian!!! Thanks so much for sharing.TRUTH TRUTH. I am so tired of watching God’s people fighting each other. Bravo!! Many blessings to you as you fight the good fight of faith, my brother, Sandi
Pardon me Dear God’s vessel Sandi to ask you to check the comment section of your article “chosen for a time like this” for an urgent message I was given on 15/8/22 for you. It’s posted there. Kindly pray for confirmation. So sorry for taking you back. Thanks.
This current article is a confirmation of what God asked me to do (WAIT) without questioning Him! It didn’t make sense initially & was very difficult to me. But being an instruction from God who knows it all, i had to ask for Grace & strength to WAIT & today, HE is nearer than ever, guiding, protecting & showing me great & mighty things that I didn’t know & would not have known amongst others. I Will WAIT UNTIL MY CHANGE/ANS COMES! Just obey the instruction “TO WAIT” & you won’t be disappointed. HE IS FOREVER FAITHFUL! Thanks
Dear Adams, I so appreciate what you sent me on 8/15 and I am sorry I have not answered sooner but I tested positive for Covid and am doing well but have been resting. I will pray over all you sent and the word the Lord gave you. So glad that your “WAITING” experiences are producing such fruit Many prayers and blessings, dear brother, Sandi

Sandi, praying for you.
Those who wait upon the lord with open hearts, trust and faith can see and feel the moves of God in our lives. In many ways, He is waiting on us!
So so true, Janice. In many ways HE is truly waiting on us. The Holy Spirit is working both ways. Thanks for sharing. Blessings, Sandi
Good day Sandi.
So this morning as I got up, about 3am…again, the thoughts of “how much longer Lord,” came flooding in, to which I responded, “I will wait patiently for You to act Lord.”
And then I read your post, wow!! He’s just so good!!!
Thank you beautiful lady, God bless you!! :)
Good evening now, Cheri…I love how He is confirming every word, every dot, every thought He is giving us. He leaves nothing undone. But He is giving us a deep work of trust as we learn to wait in silence and know that He is God and He is working out every detail that not only concerns us but that will fit all the pieces of the puzzle together for His perfect plan. Love and bless you, Sandi
