Thank You Lord. I needed this so much. I’ve been waiting for God to send me my godly husband for about 26 years. I’ve been through many battles, tragedies, trauma, deaths etc…especially the last 3 years. I’ve been depressed this week because I’m tired of being alone but won’t settle. So this lifted me up.
Don’t worry,God starts to do work on the base of the condition of your heart.
As I heard one Pastor say “Waiting on The Lord is like being a waiter in a restaurant.” You might try attending small Christian groups that meet during the week. I’m a guy, and I know how hard it is to find like minded people who love God.
It took me almost 50 years to find someone who loves JESUS CHRIST 🙏
@@jerryeriksen wow!
Genesis 2:22-24 God didn’t bring Adam to eve He brought eve to Adam
Strengthen me Lord to keep waiting on you in prayer for the promise.
I waited 19 years for my wife to arrive. After the past 1 1/2 years with her, I’ll wait another 19 years….The wait is worth it!!!!…..I can testify because I have been there…..
I’ve been waiting 28 years for my wife….I found her in California a decade ago almost, but I’m waiting for her to return to me…by the way, I met her in Los Angeles. 🙂
Alleluia
Please pray that I find a husband. I’ve been waiting for 40 years and it almost feels too late. Idk the waiting really isn’t building my faith or relationship with God, it’s causing me to doubt his love for me. Please pray that my faith is strengthened and that my husband arrives RIGHT NOW because I don’t have the strength to wait any longer. Please, in the name of Jesus!
@@chiara1194Hugs. I hear you. I’m 46 now and feel the same 😢. I don’t see how it’s improving me, I just feel forgotten despite waiting; and don’t my best in the meanwhile. It hurts. I wanted children so deeply since I was a teenager, and that seems to be over; it breaks a part of my heart & soul.
@@chiara1194 I will definitely pray that God strengthens your faith. But please be encouraged and know that it is never too late for God! I have also been waiting for nearly 40 years. Sometimes, when we have to wait, it is easy to feel like God has forgotten about us. But it is during the waiting period that He is preparing us for what we are asking for. Also remember that if God‘s love for you is dependent on Him doing what you want, you have made whatever you want an idol. God needs to be first in your life. I know it may not feel this way, but God is enough. Remember Ps. 23:1. “The Lord is my Shepherd. I lack nothing.” Don’t let the devil’s lies convince you otherwise. God loves and cares about you so much!
I prayed God last night and asked him to tell me what to do while I waiting for his promise and he sent me this message. 🙏🏼 Amen.
Keep on waiting for God
I git what I’ve been waiting for and now i have to wait more
I was born blue!! My umbilical cord was in a knot.
Glory to God I’m here!!
God’s timing is always perfect. God is good. All the time God is good. Amen.
I’ve been married 50 years, was saved 49 1/2 years. My husband is still not saved. So my immediate 30 member (kids grandkids, great grandkids) are mostly not walking with Him. Waiting and growing. He’s taken me through 4 rare illnesses, 2 of them 0-33% mortality prognosis. He’s still using me and refining me. 😊❤🙏🏽🤗🥰
Amen. Glory be to God!
Glory to God for ever more
Amen
Whoever reading this wish your smile warmer, bigger and your heart like jesus. God love you.
Iam from India, in 2019 I got promise from god For my Marriage from Isaiah 60 : 22 “When the time is right, i the lord will make it happen.” Iam just waiting desperately for God. In this year god given me promise Proverbs 23 : 18 “your hope will not be cut off”. I hope this year going to be a breakthrough for me. Let’s Raise a Hallelujah in this Wilderness with heart fully. He will do it definitely.😊😊😊
Amen 🙏🙏🙏
🙏✝️🔥🔥🎀🙏🏻
Praise God! My challenge is similar and God had spoken to me and promised from the same verses many a times, I know one thing for sure God’s timing & works are just perfect😊
On the 31st December 2023 after attending watch night service , before two months I decided to suicide on Early morning 3:30am of 1st January but due to heavy sleepiness I forgotten the suicide decision , on that time I got a dream . In that dream God opened “The Door” I saw the green pastures on the hill’s and down the hill a small house was there and in that house a couple with their two children living happily. That was me in that dream 🙂. God given me the promise of the 2024 year is “From this day on I will bless you”(Haggai 2:19). According to Hebrew Alphabet Numerical analysis, 4=Door, 2+0+2+4=8=Life. The door of Life is opened for me on the January 1st in Jesus name amen. IAM just so happy now on waiting on God 🙂🦋.
praise GOD He gave a promise for my marriage and showed me the girl and I’m just 16
Whoever is reading this. Remember you shall have whatever you say! Say yes to life and life more abundantly! You’ve got this and Gods got you, I’m praying for you now.
Thank you.😊
Amen. Thank you very much. May God bless you all the days of your life. 🎉

Would you consider praying for our financial crisis? We NEED to sell our business building. We want to sell it too. But it must be sold for a good price for us, so we can retire, since we are both really ill as well. We’ve been waiting for many months now. Today we got another high bill that we can’t pay. It’s beyond scary. We’ve been believing for so long and we always have to wait another extra day, week and month. Our main provision stopped in October, but we haven’t been rescued yet (meaning: having sold it yet). I’d highly appreciate your reply 🙂
Certainly not my experience!
Hi, you didn’t reply, yet. Have you overlooked my post?
I graduated from high school in 1995- I had been waiting a total of 6yrs for my husband. We both attended the same school never dated or knew each other. Tomorrow we will be celebrating 24yrs of Blessed Marriage, with a family of 4 Children and out of the 4 (1 is married and another engaged) We have a graduate and a 9th grader.
God is so Good! Waiting was easy but worth it!!!
6 years is hardly a long time…l know plenty of people still waiting in their 50s 🙄😑
Just feels like the only way to survive is to go from sermon to sermon every days to keep surviving mentally
Totally how I feel. 💔 I am BARELY hanging on.
Same here. Bible, sermons, prayers, and feeling stretched to the limit. God told me He’s fine tuning me. I must still be out of tune somewhere. It’s so painful. I cry every day. Waiting for the breakthrough. 😢
You put words to how I have felt. Thank you. Podcasts (sermons), worship music, etc many times a day.
Hang in there my fellows ! We are in this together . The healthiest option is to have good friends and people that we can share those deep things with and then use that encouragement and spend time with God .. this is where I function the best as social interactions helps level the playing ground remove clutter etc. But I don’t May be it’s me or in general the culture of the day it feels like all the extra clutter and battles that we Should not be in comes due to lack of that communal reality or May be lovers of self like Bible says .. we are not designed to have such insane internal thought processes that result from lack of community .. I only can speak to my situation .. either ways the bottom line is sit with God through the craziness , prioritize him sit through the nothingness the boredom the waiting for solutions things to happen . And know that God absolutely loves when we so wind time in prayer and word outside of the good old sermons and church and things .. Infact that’s all true lovers want anyways .. so ya let the rivers flow from there. Things slowly will start to happen .. we hardly hear sermons that force us to sit with god personally but that’s where the magic begins .. so ya my fellows go to the lab , the workspace the dungeon of need be and let the magic begin with God
Im learning it’s about not giving up. What if the testing is for six months and we gave up 5 months and 29 days in and missed
The blessing.? It’s the hardest place. Alone and waiting.
Lost my marriage to the devils tempting my husband. I’m having to go thru a season of terrible grief and loss.
I’m waiting on God with whatever I have in me and lots of days it’s so feeble. God sees us. Let’s pray for those of us out there in like pain. We can pray for each other with out even knowing who they are.
God made a promise to me in 2008. God is only releasing this promise this year 2023 GLORY TO GOD. HE MADE ME WAIT AND I WAITED PATIENTLY IM FINALLY IN MY SEASON. GOD WORKED IT ALL OUT FOR ME 🔥🔥🙌🔥AMEN🙌🙌🔥🔥🔥🙏🙏🙏🙌🔥🔥🔥🙌🙌🔥🔥🙏🙏I LOVE YOU GOD❤️❤️🔥❤️
Praise Jesus…..
Wow that’s awesome who is Jesus Christ?
I have seen the goodness of GOD in the waiting, yes it hurt at times, but it was good for me, it was preparing me to receive what he prepared. It was preparing the landscape to bless. Try to stay in hope, remember Joseph in the pit and the prison. GOD has his reasons for his timing. He is no man’s debtor and he honours those who honour him. Trust him, tell him your heart, keep the faith pray, do your best, don’t give up, trust in his character not your feelings. Love to all in Jesus. 🙏
I have never heard this pastor but it popped up in my feed today after being unemployed for months and finding out yesterday I didn’t get a job I interviewed for so well. I felt so hopeless until hearing this message today. Thank you for spelling it all out. I really enjoyed the sense of humor and message! I enjoyed it so much! God bless! ❤
I hope you’ll be blessed with a job soon 🫶
I’m in the exact situation, unemployed for months, two jobs that I was hoping for, I didn’t get. It’s been a struggle to remain faithful and positive. This type of ministry is needed and appreciated. I’m happy that it popped up in my feed.
🙏✝️🔥🔥✝️🎀
I pray God does a mighty miracle for you
Same here and going through just a waiting season of my life! And this showed up out of nowhere! I’m so glad I did
This song is SO TIMELY for my family and I! My 13 year old sister has cancer, and Sunday I had gotten a call from my parents asking to gather all of my siblings to come and say our goodbyes… We prayed, we asked for a miracle, and here we are 5 days later and my sister has made a MIRACULOUS recovery and doctors are in AWE!
Wow Praise Jesus 🙌🙌🙌🙌😭 God is So good ! Thank you for sharing! God bless you and your family.
Awesome
Hallelujah
Praise the Lord for what He is doing!!! How is your sister doing now?
That is wonderful, hallelujah. We prayed for our daughter but the Lord Jesus Christ did not bless us with a miracle. She passed away 12/2023.
This message reminds me to trust God in everything. Pray about everything. It may sound simple. But it’s life changing. Amen.
I tried to have a relationship with Gods people THEY HURT ME SO BADLY, I am just starting to try to see God work in the tiniest places of my life and make sure I wright them down . Because after my hurt I really start to believe maybe I was misled by church. God is showing up . And I hope I can learn to trust man again but I would rather just focus on God for now and let Jesus lead me and allow Holy Spirit to speak to me as God is helping me heal
We have come by upperroom is an excellent worship set for those in the midst of waiting. God Bless. Those who wait upon the Lord will not be put to shame.
I waited over 40 yrs for my husbands salvation and we are now in one accord! God is Faithful and He’s giving me His word to wait on my daughter mental healing and myself for a physical healing to manifest🙏❤️🙏 My relationship with Him is growing deeper and deeper. Thank you Pastor for this good word of encouragement and hope. Gods blessings on you and you ministry 🙏
