Bishop T D Jakes '' Waiting on God for Your Breakthrough " ONE OFF THE BEST MOTIVATIONAL SAPEECH|

my brothers and sisters let me take a moment to speak to your spirit to ignite your faith and to challenge your patience life has a way of testing us of stretching us and of putting us in places where it feels like the heavens are silent you've prayed you've cried you fasted and yet it seems as if nothing has moved but I came to tell you today don't give up your breakthrough is closer than you think when we talk about waiting on God we're not talking about standing still with folded arms no waiting on God is

active Faith it's praising him in the midst of the delay it's worshiping him when the walls are still standing is declaring his promises even when your circumstances are screaming the opposite waiting on God means you're trusting him beyond what you can see feel or understand think about Joseph he was thrown into a pit sold into slavery falsely accused and forgotten in prison but Joseph's waiting wasn't wasted God was setting him up preparing him refining him what looked like a setback was a setup for elevation I don't know who I'm talking to but somebody needs to

hear this where you are right now is not your final destination the pit is not permanent the prison is not the end God is working behind the scenes to position you for a purpose Isaiah 40:31 tells us they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength waiting on God isn't about losing strength it's about gaining it it's about letting him exchange your weariness for his power while you wait he's renewing your mind while you wait he's aligning your heart with his will while you wait he's preparing the blessing and preparing you for the blessing

because let me tell you something a breakthrough given too soon can break you instead of bless you and oh my friend don't despise the delay delay is not denial sometimes God makes you wait because he's building something bigger than what you asked for you're praying for a door but God is building you a house you're asking for a moment but God is setting you up for a movement don't rush what God is orchestrating trust his timing trust his Pro the Bible says in habac 203 for the vision is yet for an appointed time though it

Tak is wait for it because it will surely come it will not t you see God's promises are like seeds planted in the ground they take time to germinate to grow and to bear fruit but when the time is right no devil in hell can stop what God has ordained so what do you do while you wait you keep praising you keep praying you keep preparing don't sit in despair stand in faith lift up your hands in worship Speak Life over your situation declare the word of God over your family your finances your health don't

let the enemy make you believe that the delay means defeat the delay is just a sign that something greater Is On The Way I came to remind you today that the God we serve is faithful he's never late he's never forgotten a promise he's never abandoned his people and if he said it he will do it if he spoke it he will bring it to pass so hold on my friend don't faint don't falter don't quit because your breakthrough is not just coming it's already on the way I dare you to give God a praise

in advance I dare you to shout like it's already done because when God moves he doesn't just meet your expectations he exceeds them he doesn't just bring you out he brings you out within increase with favor and with a testimony that will shake the foundations of the earth so wait on the Lord wait with faith wait with expectation wait with joy because when your breakthrough comes and it will come it will blow your mind Hallelujah waiting on God is active Faith waiting on God doesn't mean passivity it means praising worshiping and trusting him even when

circumstances don't align with his promises your waiting time is your preparation time delay is not denial just because it's delayed doesn't mean it's denied God's timing is perfect and he often delays to build something greater than what you asked for the process prepares you for the Breakthrough like Joseph's Journey from the pit to the Palace the challenges you face are shaping and refining you for the purpose and blessing ahead renew your strength while you wait Isaiah 40:31 reminds us that those who wait on the Lord will renew their strength the waiting period is a time

for Spiritual renewal and alignment with God's will declare Victory before you see it Speak Life over your situation praise God in advance and trust that your breakthrough is not just coming it's already on the way God will exceed your expectation waiting on God is active faith it is not a passive or Idol experience it is an intentional vibrant engagement with the promises of God even when circumstances seem un yielding when we say waiting we often imagine sitting in Stillness doing nothing simply hoping for something to change but waiting on God is a dynamic process that

requires your participation it is not a place of stagnation but a season of preparation it is not a moment of weakness but a demonstration of strife consider the image of a farmer when a farmer plants a seed they don't just toss it into the soil and walk away the act of planting initiates a process that requires faith and diligent action the farmer Waters the seed removes weeds and protects the soil from pests all the while trusting that the seed will grow in due time similarly waiting on God demands that we nurture our faith while trusting

in his timing it calls us to pray without seizing worship without wavering and serve without hesitation one of the greatest misunderstandings about waiting on God is the belief that it means doing nothing on the contrary waiting on God is one of the most spiritually active things you can do it involves standing firm in faith even when the answers seem delayed it is continuing to obey his word even when obedience doesn't seem to yield immediate results it is choosing to trust his promises even when circumstances seem to cont contradict them waiting on God requires that you

keep moving forward spiritually emotionally and sometimes even physically as you align yourself with his will waiting also tests your faith in profound ways it presses you to confront the gap between what God has spoken and what you see this Gap often uncomfortable and disorienting is where Faith grows faith is not required when everything is visible and clear it is in the way in season in the midst of uncertainty And Delay that Faith becomes real it is in these moments that you learn to lean on God's character rather than your understanding trusting that he is good

faithful and Sovereign to wait on God is to rest in his promises while remaining actively engaged in his process think of Abraham who was promised to be the father of many nations yet for years he and Sarah remained childless Abraham's Journey of Faith was not perfect he made mistakes doubted and even tried to take matters into his own hands but ultimately he trusted God and at the appointed time the promise was fulfilled Abraham's story reminds us that waiting on God is not about perfection but about persistence it's about continuing to trust him even when the

Fulfillment of the promise feels feels impossibly far away waiting on God also requires patience a virtue that is often tested in today's world we live in an age of instant gratification where waiting is seen as an inconvenience or a sign of failure but God's timing is not dictated by human expectations or cultural norms his timing is perfect even when it doesn't align with our own learning to wait on him is learning to surrender your timeline and trust that his is infinitely better it is a humbling process but it is also one that deepens your Reliance

on him during the waiting season your relationship with God is strengthened waiting forces you to seek him more earnestly to press into his presence and to rely on his word it teaches you to listen for his voice to discern his guidance and to rest in his peace when you actively wait on God you are not just waiting for something to happen you are waiting with him allowing him to work in you and through you waiting becomes an act of worship a declaration that you trust him Above All Else active faith in waiting also means continuing

to act in alignment with God's instructions even if you don't see immediate results it's about sowing seeds of obedience knowing that the Harvest will come in due season for example if you are waiting on God for financial provision active Faith might look like studing your current resources wisely giving generously and trusting him to multiply what you have if you are waiting for healing it might involve praying for others who are sick speaking life over your own situation and trusting God for his perfect plan waiting on God is also a time of preparation God often uses

the waiting season to refine you to build your character and to equip you for what lies ahead just as a Potter shapes Clay on a wheel God uses the waiting period to mold you into His Image he removes impurities strengthens your foundation and prepares you to carry the blessings he has in store The Waiting season is not wasted time it is a Divine Workshop where God crafts his purpose in you moreover waiting on God is a testimony to others your active faith in the waiting season speaks volumes about the God you serve when you continue

to worship to trust and to move forward despite the delay you demonstrate the reality of your faith to those around you your life becomes a living testimony of of God's faithfulness and goodness inspiring others to trust him in their own seasons of waiting in every season of waiting there is an invitation to grow closer to God it is an opportunity to deepen your faith to strengthen your resolve and to experience his presence in a profound way waiting on God is not easy but it is worth it it is a journey of trust a declaration of

faith and an act of surrender that ultimately leads to the fulfillment of his promises so wait on the Lord not passively but actively with faith that he is working all things together for your good delay is not denial it's a truth that challenges our understanding of God's timing and reminds us of his unwavering faithfulness when life places Us in seasons of waiting it's easy to assume that a delayed answer means God has forgotten us ignored us or work first rejected us but the reality is far different what may feel like a setback in our timeline

is often a setup for something greater in God's divine plan when we experience delay our first instinct is often frustration we live in a world driven by instant gratification where waiting feels like an affront to our desires but God operates on a different timeline one that is not bound by human urgency or limited by Earthly constraints his timing is perfect even when it feels like nothing is happening a delay from God is not a dismissal of your prayers it is his way of aligning circumstances refining your character and preparing you for a blessing that is

greater than what you imagine take a moment to think about the story of Lazarus in the Bible when Jesus was told that his friend Lazarus was sick he didn't immediately rush to heal him instead he waited to those watching this delay seemed like abandonment Lazarus died and the situation appeared hopeless but when Jesus finally arrived he performed a miracle far greater than anyone expected he raised Lazarus from the dead what looked like like a devastating delay was actually an opportunity for God to demonstrate his power and glory in an extraordinary way this story reminds us

that delay is often a Divine strategy God doesn't just meet our expectations he exceeds them when it seems like God is saying no he may actually be saying not yet the not yet seasons are where we learn patience trust and dependence on him there are the spaces where we grow spiritually where our faith is stretched and where we learn to lean into his promises instead of our understanding sometimes God delays because he is protecting us we may not always understand the reasons behind his timing but he sees what we cannot what looks like a missed

opportunity to us may actually be God's way of shielding us from harm or positioning us for something better consider how often we pray for something with limited Vision only to look back later and realize that God's delay was the very thing that saved us from settling for less than his best delay also serves as a test of our faith it challenges us to trust God even when the answers don't come quickly faith is not just believing when everything is going our way it's holding on to God's promises when everything seems to be falling apart the

waiting period forces us to confront our doubts to wrestle with our impatience and to choose trust over fear it's in this tension that our faith is refined becoming stronger and more resilient when God delays he is also teaching us something about his character he is not a God who rushes or who is swayed by pressure he is a god of precision and purpose every delay has a reason even if that reason is hidden from us his ways are higher than our ways and his thoughts are higher than our thoughts trusting him means accepting that his

perspective is eternal while ours is often shortsighted one of the most profound truths about delay is that it often prepares us for the blessing we've been praying for sometimes we ask for things we are not yet ready to receive God in his wisdom uses the delay to shape us to equip us and to strengthen us so that when the blessing comes we can handle it if he gave us what we wanted before we were ready the very thing we prayed for could overwhelm us or become a stumbling block think about David who was anointed as

king while still a young Shepherd boy he didn't Ascend to the throne immediately instead he went through years of preparation facing trials challenges and even persecution those years of delay were not wasted they were instrumental in shaping David into the leader God intended him to be when he finally became king he was prepared for the responsibility and able to walk in his purpose delay is also a reminder that God is in control it takes the power out of our hands and places it firmly in his when we Face delays we are reminded that we are

not the architects of Our Own Destiny God is this realization is humbling but it is also liberating it frees us from the pressure of trying to force things to happen and allows us to rest in his sovereignty during seasons of delay it's important to remain faithful keep praying even when it feels like your prayers are bouncing off the ceiling keep worshiping even when your heart is heavy keep serving even when when you feel overlooked these acts of faith are not in vain they are seeds swn in the soil of trust and they will bear fruit

in due Seas what we must remember is that God's delays are not about withholding they are about timing when he answers he does so in a way that brings glory to his name and goodness to our lives the very thing we've been waiting for often comes in a way that surpasses our expectations reminding us that his plans are always better than ours so when you find yourself in a season of waiting don't despair don't let the enemy convince you that God is forgotten you or that your prayers have fallen on deaf ears God is at

work even in the silence he is orchestrating details you cannot see aligning pieces you didn't even know needed aligning and preparing you for something greater than you imagine delay is not denial it is the refining fire where your faith is strengthened your character is shaped and your trust in God is deepened trust him in the delay for he is faithful to fulfill every promise in his perfect time the process prepares you for the Breakthrough when we think about breakthroughs we often Focus solely on the destination the moment when the doors open the healing comes the

opportunity is realized or the prayer is answered but what we sometimes fail to recognize is that the journey to the Breakthrough the process itself is just as important as the outcome the process is where God shapes us molds us and equips us for the blessing he has in store without the process we may not be ready to handle the weight of the Breakthrough consider a diamond before it becomes the dazzling valuable gy we admire it starts as a lump of coal buried deep in the earth over time immense pressure and heat transform the coal into

a diamond without the process the coal would remain just that coal in the same way God uses the precious challenges and seasons of waiting in our lives to refine us he allows us to go through difficulties not to harm us but to strengthen us to prepare us for what lies ahead one of the most striking examples of this truth is found in the story of Joseph Joseph had a dream as a Young Man a vision of greatness in which he saw himself in a position of leadership and influence but the path to that dream was

far from Easy Joseph's Journey included betrayal by his brothers being sold into slavery false accusations and imprisonment each of these challenges seemed to move him further away from the Fulfillment of his dream yet unbeknownst to Joseph God was using every step of the process to prepare him for his breakthrough when Joseph finally Rose to power as the second in command in Egypt he was not only ready to handle the responsibility but also equipped with the wisdom humility and strength that had been forged in the trials he endured had Joseph been elevated to his position without

going through the process he might not have been able to fulfill his purpose the years of struggle were not wasted they were instrumental in preparing him for his Destiny the process is often uncomfortable because it pushes us out of our comfort zones it challenges es us to let go of things that no longer serve us our pride our impatience our Reliance on our own abilities it requires us to confront our fears to grow in faith and to develop perseverance these are the very qualities we need to Steward the Breakthrough when it comes without perseverance we

might give up too soon without humility we might mandle the blessing without faith we might not even recognize the Breakthrough when it arrives think about David who was anointed king as a young Shepherd boy despite being chosen by God David didn't immediately Ascend to the throne instead he spent years tending sheep fighting battles and running for his life from King Saul during this time David learned leadership courage and Reliance on God he developed the skills and character necessary to be a king who was after God's Own Heart the process was not a detour it was

essential preparation for the role God had called him to the process also teaches us to Value the Breakthrough when something comes too easily we may take it for granted but when we've had to fight pray and persevere for something we appreciate it on a deeper level the struggle adds weight to the victory it reminds us of God's faithfulness and builds a testimony that can encourage others the process not only only prepares us for the blessing but also allows us to see God's hand in every step of the journey in addition to refining our character the

process often equips us with the Practical tools we need for the Breakthrough for instance if you are waiting for a financial blessing the process might involve learning how to budget manage resources wisely and trust God as your provider if you are praying for promotion at work the process might include acquiring new skills gaining experience and developing relationships that will support you in your next role God uses the process to position us for Success ensuring that we are ready to step into what he has prepared for us the process also strengthens our relationship with God it

is in the waiting in the trials and in the challenges that we learn to rely on him completely we are drawn closer to his heart as we seek Him for guidance comfort and strength the process teaches us to listen to his voice to trust his timing and to rest in his promises these are lessons that not only sustain us during the waiting season but also carry us through the rest of our lives another important aspect of the process is that it teaches us obedience sometimes God asks us to take steps of faith that don't make

sense in the moment he might lead us to forgive someone who hurt us to serve in a seemingly small role or to give generously when we feel we have little to spare these acts of obedience may not appear to be directly connected to the Breakthrough we're seeking but they are part of the process God is testing our faithfulness in the small things to prepare us for the greater resp responsibilities that come with the Breakthrough finally the process builds endurance life is not a Sprint it is a marathon the challenges we face during the process strengthen

us to keep running the race even when it gets hard each trial we overcome each obstacle we navigate and each lesson we learn adds to our resilience when the Breakthrough comes we are not only ready to receive it but but also to sustain it the process is not easy but it is necessary it is God's way of preparing us for the greater things he has in store every challenge every delay and every lesson is a step toward the Breakthrough trust the process for it is through the process that God equips you refines you and prepares

you to walk fully into his promises renewing your strength while you wait is a vital aspect of TR trusting God during the waiting season waiting on God is not a passive experience it's a journey that requires endurance faith and resilience it's during this time that your spiritual emotional and physical strength can be tested to its limits yet God has provided us with the assurance that we do not have to face the waiting season in our own strength Isaiah 4031 declares but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength they shall Mount up with

wings like eagles they shall run and not be weary they shall walk and not faint this promise is a Lifeline during seasons of waiting reminding us that renewal is possible even in the most challenging circumstances renewing your strength begins with recognizing where your true source of strength lies human strength is finite it wains under pressure falters in adversity and fails when the weight of waiting becomes too heavy but God's strength is infinite unchanging and readily available to those who seek him when you turn to him in prayer worship and meditation on his word you tap

into a Wellspring of divine power that sustains you this is not a fleeting boost but a continual flow of renewal that enables you to endure and even thrive during the waiting period The Waiting season is not just about enduring it's about growing it's an opportunity to deepen your relationship with God to learn more about his character and to align your heart with his will in The Quiet Moments of waiting you find Space to draw closer to him to hear his voice more clearly and to understand his purposes more fully this closeness renews your spirit and

gives you the strength to persevere it's in these moments of intimacy with God that you begin to see your waiting not as a burden but as a blessing a time to rest in his presence and be renewed by his love one of the most powerful ways to renew your strength is through worship worship shifts your focus from your circumstances to God's greatness it reminds you of who he is your provider healer and sustainer when you worship you declare his power over your situation and affirm your trust in his plan worship is a powerful Act of

surrender a way of saying God I trust you even when I don't understand as you lift your voice in Praise you'll find that your burdens feel lighter your perspective becomes clearer and your strength is renewed renewing your strength also requires patience and perspective waiting can feel like an endless stretch of time where nothing is happening but that's rarely the case behind the scenes God is working on your behalf aligning circumstances opening doors and preparing the way for your breakthrough trusting in his timing allows you to let go of anxiety and rest in the assurance that

he is in control this trust is like a bomb for your soul bringing peace and Renewed Energy as you wait another way to renew your strength is through the word of God the Bible is a treasure Trove of encouragement wisdom and promises that fortify your Spirit scriptures like Psalm 27:14 which says wait for the Lord be strong and Let Your Heart Take courage wait for the Lord remind you that you are not alone in your waiting meditating on these truths strengthens your faith and gives you the resilience to keep moving forward the word of God

is like a lamp to your feet and a light to your path guiding you through the waiting season and renewing your hope each step of the way community is another essential element in renewing your strength God designed us to live in fellowship with others and the waiting season is no exception surround yourself with people who will encourage you pray for you and remind you of God's promises a supportive Community can lift you up when you're feeling weary and help you stay focused on God's faithfulness sharing your struggles and victories with others not only renews your

strength but also builds bonds of faith that are unshakable physical renewal is also important during the waiting season often the stress of waiting can take a toll on your body leading to fatigue and burnout taking care of your physical health through rest proper nutrition exercise and adequate sleep is a practical way to honor God with your body and ensure that you are equipped to face the challenges of waiting when your body is strong it's easier to maintain emotional and spiritual strength as well renewing your strength involves embracing gratitude even in the waiting gratitude shifts your

focus from what you lack to what you have from what is delayed to what is already accomplished when you thank God for his past faithfulness you remind yourself that he has never failed you and that his track record is Flawless gratitude renews your spirit by filling your heart with hope and reminding you that God's blessings are always worth the wait the waiting season can also be a time to renew your purpose sometimes waiting feels like a pause but it can actually be a time of preparation use this season to develop new skills pursue New Opportunities

and deepen your understanding of God's calling on your life as you grow in purpose you'll find that your waiting is not wasted it's an investment in the person God is shaping you to be ultimately renewing your strength while you wait is about keeping your ey fixed on Jesus Hebrews 1202 encourages us to fix our eyes on Jesus the Pioneer and perfector of faith when your focus is on him you'll find that the weight of waiting becomes lighter your hope becomes stronger and your strength is continually renewed Jesus endured the ultimate waiting the cross for the

joy set before him and he now offers you his strength for your own Journey waiting on God is not easy but it is transformative it's a time when you can experience the fullness of his strength his peace and his love in the waiting God is not just preparing your breakthrough he's preparing you and as you renew your strength in him you'll find that you are equipped not only to endure but to soar like an eagle to run and not grow weary and to walk and not F Trust In God's Time is one of the most

challenging yet essential aspects of our faith Journey it requires surrendering our need for control and aligning our hearts with God's perfect plan even when it doesn't match our expectations the truth is God operates on a Divine timeline that is not bound by human limitations his timing is not just about answering prayers it's about fulfilling his purpose for our lives in a way that maximizes his glory and our good to trust his timing is to relinquish our agendas and place our confidence in his sovereignty one of the hardest things to accept is that God's timeline often

doesn't align with ours we live in a fast-paced world where instant gratification is the norm we want things now and when they don't happen as quickly as we expect we can become impatient discouraged or even doubtful but God's timing is not dictated by our urgency he is never late never early he is always right on time this truth requires us to shift our perspective from our limited understanding of time to the Eternal nature of God's plan the trust God's timing is to recognize that he sees the entire picture while we only see a fragment imagine

standing at the foot of a mountain unable to see beyond the the next Bend in the trail now picture God is the one who stands above the mountain seeing the entire landscape in one view he knows what lies ahead both the challenges and the blessings his timing takes into account what we cannot see ensuring that everything unfolds in a way that aligns with his perfect will the story of Abraham and Sarah is a profound example of trusting God's timing God promised Abraham that he would become the father of many nations yet years passed without the

Fulfillment of that promise Abraham and Sarah Grew Older and from a human perspective their situation seemed impossible at one point they even tried to take matters into their own hands resulting in the birth of ishmail but God's promise was not dependent on human effort or understanding at the appointed time Isaac was born demonstrating that God's timing is always perfect and his promises are always fulfilled this story teaches us that trusting God's timing often requires patience patience is not merely waiting it's waiting with the right attitude it's maintaining faith hope and trust even when the waiting

period is long and the outcome is uncertain patience allows us to rest in the assurance that God is in control even when our circumstance es seem to suggest otherwise it's a posture of the heart that says Lord I trust you even when I don't understand God's timing is also about preparation sometimes the delay we experience is not because God is withholding the blessing but because he is preparing us to receive it he knows that if we were to step into our breakthrough prematurely we might not be ready to handle it the waiting season is often

a time of refining where God works on our character strengthens our faith and equips us with the tools we need for the next season trusting his timing means embracing this process of preparation knowing that it's for our ultimate benefit the waiting period is not wasted time it's a time of growth learning and transformation it's in the waiting that we develop perseverance deepen our relationship with God and learn to trust him on a deeper level consider the life of Moses who spent 40 years in the desert before leading the Israelites out of Egypt during those years

God Was preparing Moses shaping his character and teaching him lessons that would be critical for his role as a leader had Moses not gone through that season of preparation he might not have been ready to fulfill his Destiny trusting God's timing also involves surrendering our need for answers as humans we have an innate desire to understand understand why things happen the way they do but Faith often requires us to let go of the need to know and simply trust that God's plan is good Proverbs 3056 reminds us trust in the Lord with all your heart

and lean not on your own understanding in all your ways submit to him and he will make your path straight this scripture encourages us to rely not on our limited understanding but on God's infinite wisdom one of the greatest challenges in trusting God's timing is dealing with delays that seem to contradict his promises it's in these moments that doubt can creep in Whispering lies that God has forgotten us or that his promises won't come to pass but scripture assures us that God is not a man that he should lie nor a son of man that

he should change his mind what he has promised he will fulfill in his time not ours trust in God's timing requires us to actively resist the temptation to compare our journey to others it's easy to look around and see others stepping into their breakthroughs achieving their goals or receiving Their Blessings while we are still waiting but comparison is a thief of joy and a distraction from what God is doing in our lives each person's journey is unique and God's timing for them is different from his timing for us trusting his timing means focusing on our

own race confident that he is working all things together for our good worship and gratitude play a crucial role in trusting God's timing when we worship we declare God's sovereignty over our lives and affirm our trust in his plan gratitude shifts our Focus from what we lack to what we already have reminding us of God's faithfulness in the past these practices help us to remain grounded in faith even when the waiting is long and the path is unclear ultimately trusting God's timing is about faith it's about believing that he is who he says he is

that he is faithful loving and Sovereign it's about resting in the assurance that his plans are better than ours his timing is perfect and his ways are higher than our ways trusting his timing is is not always easy but it is always worth it it's a journey that strengthens our faith deepens our relationship with him and prepares us to receive his promises in their fullness waiting on God for your breakthrough is not wasted time it's a Divine process of preparation renewal and Trust his timing is perfect his plans are good and his promises are sure

stay steadfast in Faith embrace the journey and know that what he's preparing for you is greater than you can imagine trust him for your breakthrough is on the way
