"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths." - Proverbs 3:5–6

"Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding" - Proverbs 4:7

The Lord favors you
.
He's calling to you as His Bride.

He is calling you to come to understand your Christ identity so you can help those in need of discipling,

so they can stand for truth (their Christ identity and right standing with God), and righteousness (walking in the Spirit) for such a time as this.

Even if it costs you. Even if it feels like you're standing alone.

How will you respond?




Many Believers have been taught -- consciously or unconsciously -- that if we don't feel God, He must not be there. We measure His presence by our emotions, our experiences, our sense of spiritual "aliveness." When we feel close to God, we assume we're doing something right. When we feel distant, we assume we've done something wrong or that God has withdrawn. But the absence of a feeling does not equal the absence of God.

Consider what Jesus promised in Matthew 28:20: "And lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age" (NKJV). He didn't say, "I'll be with you when you perform well," or "I'll be with you when you feel Me." He said, always. It's not conditional. It's not performance-based. It's a statement of unchanging reality

Our awareness of Him doesn't create His presence; it simply helps us recognize what has always been true.




"Then the LORD replied: 'Write down the revelation and make it plain on tablets so that a herald may run with it. For the revelation awaits an appointed time. Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay.'" (Habakkuk 2:2–3)

There is an appointed time, a kairos time. What He speaks is moving toward fulfillment, even when it seems delayed (1 Kings 18:44–46). Elijah ran when the servant said there was a small cloud the size of a man's hand; he did not wait for the rain to fall before he moved. He ran at the sign. He ran at the word.

The Lord gave special strength to Elijah. He tucked his cloak into his belt and ran ahead of Ahab's chariot all the way to Jezreel (1 Kings 18:46). This was not natural strength. This was supernatural empowerment for a specific moment and assignment.

"But those who wait upon the Lord will renew their strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not faint." (Isaiah 40:31)

Waiting renews strength. Waiting sharpens vision. Waiting prepares you to carry what He entrusts to you. You are chosen for such a time as this (Esther 4:14).

He is doing a new thing. Perceive it. Wait for it. Receive it. And when He places it in your hand, run!
