When Jesus left the disciples, he told them to wait in Jerusalem for the promised Comforter. (Acts 1:4) The disciples obeyed Jesus, and waited.
But the disciples didn't just sit around twiddling their thumbs and hemming and hawing. They waited in prayer. They were talking to God continually keeping the line of communication open for God to speak and move. (Acts 1:14) And the instant God was ready to move, He had an open pathway and was able to impart the promise at once. (Acts 2:2)
So, how are you waiting on God's promise for you? Are you just sitting around waiting for your promise to just show up? Are you just letting the days slip by until God chooses to move?
Or, are you actively talking with your Heavenly Father? Are you staying before Him in continual prayer. If He chose to drop in and deliver your promise, are you even ready to receive it? Have you positioned yourself to receive from the Lord?
Don't just put the promises of God to the side as "something nice" that will happen "one day." Make sure that you are actively praying and keeping the lines of communication open with the Lord. He may want to move but is trying to talk to you first.
God has your promise, but you have to make sure you're positioned to receive it!
Verse of the Day: And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. Acts 2:1-4
Thanks for this.
