Sermon Moments

“"The Bible says if it's not constant expectation, it is double-mindedness, and a double-minded man is unstable in all his ways."”

“"The word of the Lord to you today is: you will not die until His promise has come to pass."”

“"The most valuable thing you can get in your life is a vision from God... Vision keeps you from going too low, and it keeps you from going too high."”

“"Vision comes from exposure. When you see something you've never seen before, God begins to quicken it in your spirit."”

“"Storms and waiting cause amnesia. You forget all the good things He has done because all you obsess over is what He has not yet done."”

“"Every number is a name, every name is a story, every story is a life, and every life is our why."”

“"If your miracle comes before due season, it will come with complications you don't want to deal with. Wait for due season."”

“"Until I get my miracle from God, I will be somebody else's miracle from God."”

This Week

Take time this week to list past miracles and answered prayers to anchor your faith during your current waiting season.

Expose yourself to godly, inspiring examples in areas where you lack vision, such as marriage, finances, or leadership.

Ask the Holy Spirit daily to give you divine revelation for your life rather than merely copying someone else's model.

Commit to staying actively connected in church, small groups, and community rather than pulling back during seasons of waiting.

Remain sensitive and obedient to the daily promptings of the Holy Spirit, whether to encourage someone or take a step of faith.

Serve faithfully on a ministry team, choosing to be someone else's miracle while you wait for your own.

Refuse to give up prematurely, trusting that receiving God's promises in "due season" protects you from unnecessary complications.

Remember This

Waiting on God's miracle requires remaining constantly expectant, remembering His past faithfulness, staying Spirit-led, and holding your position until His appointed due season arrives.

A Challenge for You

"Do not throw away your confidence. The one who called you is faithful, He will do it... You just make sure you wait right, because He will come through."
