Sometimes it feels like everyone is moving ahead while you're stuck in the same place. The doors you've been knocking on seem sealed shut, and prayers feel unanswered. But let me remind you: God's silence is not His absence.

Delay is not denial.
Joseph had a dream at 17, but it took years, betrayal, a pit, and a prison before he saw the palace.
God isn't punishing you, He's preparing you. He's not slow, He's strategic.

That waiting season? It’s working something in you. Strength. Patience. Faith.
Hold on. Don’t rush what God is refining.

Your time is coming. Keep believing. Keep building. Keep becoming.
Because when God moves, it will be bigger than you prayed for.

Oops! Wrong video, or maybe not, this is another person who was a skeptic about the times.
 
This is it, where he shares 2 visitations he received.
Everything we do makes a ripple, the good and the bad.

I, see better to be alone with Daddy, Father, PaPa, first to learn new in truth over the errors her win this world still
Do you realize, Paul who was Saul of Tarsus, repented to God and went missing for about two to three years in the Arabian desert.Ever wonder what happened there?
I hear this allegory
A chalk board was put in front of him full of his entire life written on it from first birth to that present second, with a piece of chalk, and an eraser
Paul saw this and God said to Paul you want to know truth? Yes replied Paul
God said pick up the eraser and erase your entire life written on that chalk board. Then pick up the chalk and write what I feel you in truth to all.
Your turn thank you
 
Right after the baptism of John, Jesus spent time (40 days?) in the wilderness.
At the baptism of John the Father called out, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased".
Paul had more unlearn and grow anew about?
best wishes:)(y)

Dancing in the Spirit of Father and Son, in thanksgiving and praise, seeing. what is done by Son. for us all
Psalm 103:12, to be given a new heart Ezekiel 36:26, just ask sincerely to Father in Daddy's spirit and Truth and be amazed in this reconciliation done for us all to stand in thankfulness and not use it for any self gain
Thanks

we all from the very first day, anyone believes God. God seals each in his love and mercy of Son for them to learn new and grow up into maturity of his grace and remain humble in it.
At least this has been going on in me from day one at age 12, when I said to God, I need you God
Eph. 1:13 sealed
Eph. 1:6 accepted
Eph 1:7 Forgiven
all done by Dad, Father, PaPa, through Son the exact image of God Father in flesh and blood. wow! woe is me as Isaiah said it in Isaiah 6:1-7
 
In retrospect that was about the age for myself as well.
Helping with Awana's in a nearby church, a young lad confided he was playing in his room and heard his name called, his mother had not called him. I mentioned about the young Samuel and his call from the Father.
I know of others who received this as youth.
You certainly writer very well!

thank you, it is not mine, I see to stand in trust to Father, Daddy, PaPa in risen Son to help others turn to Father personally as well in risen Son and begin the new life called to be in love and mercy to all. The same as Son did going to that cross to begin with without any flesh fight back at all. Without this done work first. no one stands a chance to ever be let in, you think. Accept the cross death is done, and now new in the risen One, Jesus our mediator.
Since from te First (Old) Testament one has to be perfect, and no other flesh but Son's could be that ever. And now by Son that is done for us to be new in God Father's love to all, without any flesh fights back, me learning this am in process still, thanking God all in all and thus learning g new in humility.
This amazing mystery from God now revealed by Son, God Father loves us all. Say thank you and ask Daddy how to walk new in the love given you first. Seeing. to not accuse, abuse or excuse self or anyone else, thank you Father. Re-read Galatians to not get caught up under Law, any longer and not be a person better than anyone else either anymore, wow, woe is me as in Isaiah 6:1-7
