PATIENT OR STUCK?



PATIENT OR STUCK?

• Being PATIENT pleases God…
• Being STUCK pleases the devil…
  How can we tell if we are patiently waiting for something or if we are STUCK for one reason or another? The Bible says patience is a fruit of the spirit, Galatians 5:22. But, how do we know if we are operating in that fruit, or STUCK because the enemy doesn’t want us to move forward? Hmmm!
    This is my second writing dealing with STUCK. Obviously I have serious issues with this. My nightmare is to wake-up one day and find out that I’ve been STUCK in a nonproductive state for years.
   Take Note: STUCK can hide behind the repetitiveness of our daily routine, which will deceive us into believing that since everything seems normal; things are fine and moving right along. We do know life has a way of slipping by.
   I don’t want any of us to miss out on the good things that God wants to do in our lives. That’s why I wrote the book: Finding Your Prescribed Life.
My advice: We must Pray and have Faith that God will let us know when to be PATIENT, and when to make a MOVE. Now keep in mind, when He tells us to MOVE, we have to MOVE. God’s Anointing is linked to His Timing, Deuteronomy 1:20-35.
   The devil will inject his illegal suggestions (lies) and have us think we don’t have the energy to move. He will tell us to just sit back and take it easy. Of course he’s not telling us that for our well-being. He could care less. His agenda is to keep us from God’s plan. Period!!!   
   BUT, if we only have an ounce of energy left, God can MAXIMIZE it like He did with the five loaves and two fishes, Matthew 14:17-20. The more ridiculous our natural condition is, the BRIGHTER HIS GLORY SHINES. An ounce of energy is enough for God to do MIRACULOUS things in our lives, and cause the nonbelievers to take notice of Who God is. Remember: God’s Strength is made perfect in our weakness, II Corinthians 12:9. 
STUCK immobilizes us. Whereby, the fruit of PATIENCE Moves our Faith Forward.

ARE YOU PATIENTLY WAITING ON GOD, OR STUCK?  Hmmm!
