Has God shown you a vision or given you a prophecy? Are you still waiting for the vision to become a reality or the prophecy to be fulfilled? The wait can be very difficult, because you may be suffering from a threatening illness, and God has promised you healing, but while you are waiting, you are going through a lot of pain, discomfort, or even facing the uncertainty of a life or death battle. Additionally, you may be waiting for a deliverance from a broken marriage, or waiting for your forever partner, or waiting for a major deal to come through to give you that financial break-through that God has shown you. Further, you may be facing demonic oppressions, which have caused a lot of setbacks in your life. Moreover, you may have been under the devil’s stronghold for a long time, waiting for a break-through from whatever situations that are causing you to be oppressed. However, God’s words declare, “Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? (Isaiah 58:6).” God can set the oppressed free. He is mighty and powerful.

Your vision or prophecy could be anything that you are waiting for, that God has already shown you that you will receive. However, remember as you become impatient waiting for your deliverance, remember the scripture, ”But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint (Isaiah 40:31).” Ask the Lord to teach you how to wait on Him, while He comes through for you. Do not let the devil fill your head with lies and discouraging words while you wait. Rebuke every negative words that come to your mind, and fill your mind with God’s words of faith, hope and peace.

Conversely, you will have to come to a place where you find peace in His promises. His promises are true, and His yes cannot be over-ruled by the devil’s no. God is not human where He can lie. Therefore, His promises are true. “Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust (2 Peter 1:4).” Continue to stand on His promises. He will never fail you.

When you trust in the Lord, you will find peace in His promises. However, if you don’t, you will be worried, confused, stressed-out, become more depressed, sick, or eventually lose your mind. “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee (Isaiah 26:3).” Trusting in the Lord will allow you to be in peace, so that His promises will be fulfilled.
