Hold on, it's happening (Lessons from Daniel)

Have to carry stinky worship team. So today we'll be talking about a different theme, isn't it? We're now learning from The Book of Daniel Hallelujah. Thank you. Pastor Dave for putting me in the first cuz I want an act up bass lesson.

Anyway, we start with our word. How many of you are in Waiting season this time? Raise your hand. Don't be embarrassed. You will get your answer. If you raise your hand raised in a waiting season of some sort. And isn't it the hardest part is to wait. How many of us are just impatient or just, I'm so tired. Lord, what are you putting me through? Read the book of Daniel is very famous for a lot of lessons, but one of it is about waiting and I wanted that lesson. Because it's such a powerful. Such a powerful message. Daniel 10 speaks about Daniel's final Vision. You know, this Prophet is always hearing a getting Visions from the Lord. And this one, the last one that he has is particularly difficult because it speaks of the difficulty, there is coming ahead of Israel and it was so tormented by the vision and he wanted to know what it's about and it's been waiting and waiting to hear from the Lord. What is this about? Amen. So, just sending you the context of this, this message. And so he was waiting for the message to come but hasn't arrived and so he pray and he fasted, and he murdered. And he fasted, and he prayed constantly for 21 days. That famous 21 days of fasting. Do we all know? Now. It's not really the same calendar days that we have right now, but it could be, it could be Heavenly time is a different timetable, isn't it? At the end of the 21 days, finally, the message came and this is what it's all about.

Daniel 10-12, he says, do not fear. Daniel for the first day that you set your heart to understand. And to humble yourself before your God, you are words where heard and I have come, because of your words, I have come because of your words. It must know that the words of God has a very powerful effect. You don't respond unless you have the word. And he has come watch this church since the first day. Since the first day, the Lord has heard your prayer. I meant from the first day, so

this is what happens when we pray, right? We think that when we're waiting we're just go prayers are not going anywhere. They're not being heard at all. And what happens if fear sets in and when fear said, send it tells us know? God is not heard, you know the answers. No, it's not going to happen. But you need to understand today, that God is not ignoring you. There is no lag time, there is no delay. There is no buffering symbol, you know, the buffering symbol that you get from your phone buffering buffering buffering. When is it going to end? He heard the very first day you cry to him, he heard that very first side you gave to him. He didn't need to listen to your prayers 100 times for him to care. It didn't. Psalm 34 verse 15 says, the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous. And his ears are attentive to their cry. Attentive. Black rice, his eyes. When you pray according to his will his answer is dispatched immediately. But if you haven't seen the Fulfillment, or the manifestation in the physical reality yet, it is not, because God did not hear you, it is because there is a delivery process. That is happening in the realm. We cannot see.

There's a traffic jam. There's a delivery Jam in the Heavenly Realms and this is what it's all about. The battle in the Unseen realm. There is a battle going on.

So the angel told Gabriel Gabriel, the Angel told Gabriel, that was told David Danielle. Hello.

That he had the power to fight the spirit of the Prince of Persia.

There is a demonic power that is trying to block.

What he is waiting for?

While he was fasting worrying and wondering if God even cared a massive war was raging in the heavens, a demonic principality, the spirits Prince of Persia, actively trying to block Angel delivering. Daniel's answer the Warfare was so intense. That Michael, the warrior exchange had to be deployed. This is the top angel in the heavens, and he has to be deployed because that battle is Raging. Dairies in the extreme importance in the message, in the vision that the demons were trying to prevent it very much so that it doesn't get delivered. Church, we must stop evaluating God's faithfulness in what we can only see with our human eyes. Ephesians 6:12 says, for our struggle is not against flesh and blood. But against the rulers against the authorities, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the Heavenly places. There is someone, there are a lot of principles that are trying to block what God has for you. Because what God has for you carries destiny. Carries a powerful weight. Your breakthrough is currently being heavily contested by the enemy because the enemy knows exactly how powerful it will be when it arrives.

Satan doesn't fight that thing.

if you're waiting season feels like a brutal battle, it is proof that what God has dispatched for you is worth fighting for It's worth fighting for.

Because it's something amazing that's waiting for you. And the devil knows what it is and he's trying to block it as much as he can. Delay is Heavenly time. It takes as long as it takes to completely defeat the enemy,

the next point is God's promise. All of God's promises carry a guarantee.

When we're stuck with the not yet, when we haven't received the answers to our prayers. It's not a no, it's never know. It's just a not yet.

Fear tells us that doesn't come then you know, God might say no but no, it's not. It is never a no. Why? Because God's word says, so 2nd, Corinthians 1:20.

For no matter how many promises God has made, they are yes in Christ. Yes, in Christ. Every promise is a yes in Christ. And so through him the amen. Are the ones who say? Amen. Branson. A amen. There's always a cold labor in a partnership that comes between us and God. She says yes, what do we say?

When God speaks a promise over your life it's part of the contract is already signed. It's a done deal. It's already guaranteed. His answer is a definite. The unshakeable yes.

Don't matter how long it takes the answer is yes, no matter how impossible it is. The answer is yes, no matter how big it is. The answer is. Yes. Why? Because God said, so. I said, so it is so our only job during the not yet season is to stand our ground and declare A man, that's all we have to do and then doesn't mean I hope so. You know, what to even means it's a Hebrew word that means it is certain or so be it.

But I don't see the healing yet.

God. I don't have the job yet that I really need, but amen.

Cuz this is too much for me to Bear by amen. I don't see that restoration yet but a man. Hey, Ben.

You are agreeing with what God Said, not with what you currently feel. The timeline belongs to heaven but the final victory has already been guaranteed to you. So don't focus on the ordeal focus on the outcome. Look at us, waiting for you. It's like yes. It's a, yes. The how do we wait? Like Daniel, We can learn from Daniel and how he waited because waiting is such a horrible. Processes are also impatient and we all need to learn how to wait. But how do, how do we do it? So we don't lose our minds and our faith. Daniel gives us a blueprint of what we can do. Number one, don't complain it all this time that Daniel was reading. He never complained. What did he do? He pray, he pray, he's fasted. And he prayed again and he prayed again. But never ever complain about the faithfulness of God because he is faithful. Number to you. Bring you your strength daily when he heard from the angel, he said I have been strengthened but you

Angel told him, don't be afraid. Peace, be with you be strong, be courageous. Waiting dreams to you physically and emotionally. But when Daniel was completely wiped out by the spiritual way, the angel touched him, In your prayer, you will meet with God and he will send the spirit, the Holy Spirit to comfort you, and you, and you feel like quitting the holy spirit will renew your strength, he will renew your strength. So lean on him being on him.

I love this. This is been a word given to me last year by the Lord consecrate yourself to God. Joshua 3:5 says consecrate yourself for tomorrow. The Lord is going to do. Great Wonders on you.

Isn't that a beautiful promise I can? We have our part and got? This is part. If you are to consecrate separate, dedicate ourselves to him, spend time in his presence, Daniel, praying and fasting. and as such he went with God, God is going to do great wonders. What do waiters do in the restaurant? Anybody. When you come to a restaurant and you see the waiters, what do they do?

Why are you awaiting serve? Serve your church, serve your brothers and sisters serving one. We still need find something you can help with serve.

Because what you do for others, you do unto the Lord.

Trust Heavenly Time, recognized of the Lord is actively fighting your battles. It's not sleeping. Is not dozing off.

Exodus 14:14 says the Lord will fight for you. You need only to be still

We have to be still and let him fight. Our battles. Don't fight it on your old strings. And remain unshakable loyal. Remain and strictly loyal, do not lower your standards on or take matters into your own hands just because God's answer is taking longer than what your calendar plan. Just be still and be faithful to him.

Most of all don't leave church.

A lot of people when they don't receive their answers, you know, they like I don't want to go to church. What's the use that doesn't hear my prayers anyway. It's been so long that I prayed to him. Nothing happened. you know, if you have a bonfire, And you have Woods their logs there that are burning Burning. Brightly Burning Brightly you take away one love, take it out of the bonfire, put it away away from where it's burning. And you see the fire? We just slowly slowly slowly died down. That's what happens when we removed. From our community from our fellowship with the Lord, from places like this.

Don't separate yourself from the burning fire and the fire burns, intensely, when there's a lot of logs, Airport.

Expect Divine elevation. After your struggle, after your bottle, after your long waiting, there is going to be a Divine elevation. You know, God always overcompensates for our troubles always. He gives us a double for our trouble. Like what happened with Joe? The last part of his life, more than what he had before, more than what he had before. Isaiah 61 says, I will give you a double share of honor and prosperity once I restore you. Isn't that wonderful? That's the Jesus is with us.

When God, dispatch The Heavy Hitters of the Heavenly Realms, like Gabriel and Michael to answer his prayers. We have a much better helper. Now, we have Jesus, we have Cheese's with us to fight our battles. He intercedes for us day and night.

Day and night. He's there with us. You remember when he was sleeping on the boat? Though, he is sleeping. You have nothing to fear because he is in the boat and it's still in the boat.

Is still in the boat, remember that?

I had a friend in the states by the way, I'd like to welcome my friend from America.

Hello, when are you know, we met in a plane. She was traveling back to the US and I was returning to the UK from one of my travels everywhere, season X next to each other. And we said we were talking to each other. We said, oh yeah, you know, praise God, I guess, but I don't know why. I don't know why.

And we found out, we're both Christians, of course, and we were giving glory to God. You are both giving glory to God. Since the day we never left, we were connected with prayers. For ten. Long years find a partner you could pray with one to 100 doesn't matter. And we seen so many prayers answered. Anyway, that's part of Daniel, you know, he continue to pray until he received the answer. Pray, pray, pray. Well, I was another story. Sorry, that's fun. Love story. This couple couldn't have children. And she said, I don't know what to do. I said, no, Cheese's doesn't want you not to have children. It's just taking a while, because special orders take time.

cuz I learned of this story of a man who was in a restaurant and he said, I want to order some. I want to order this dish but I don't want peppers. Can you make the the spice just a little bit? I don't want any onions and I can you put a lot of garlic in it, and he put so many things in his order. And so you sat down and waited for his order, and then he saw one couple get their order, mine is coming soon and then another it received their order, and then another basically everybody was already eating and he still hasn't received his order. And finally, he called the waiter and said,

Where is this? He said special orders at a time.

And where did they arrive? Is so good. It's exactly what he ordered. Praise God. Now they have a beautiful child that is top of her class. and if they couldn't have asked for a better child,

special order steak time.

God is in the process of special orders. You are not mass-produced. You are unique, and is building a special character that will be sturdy durable with with Boost and any kind of storm and he's shaping us.

He did not deliver Israel and gave Moses and microwaved him as a leader, he had to spend 80 years in the desert for him to be able to lead the children of God, when he promised Abraham, he had for a son. He waited how many years, 25 years, 25 years. If you're waiting on God today, it's not because he's forgotten you, it's because you are special.

God is taking his time to build something different something. Wonderful, something special do not rush the process because the wait is always worth the workmanship. He will continue whatever he started. He will finish to the end. it's just On hold for now but it will happen and it is going to happen could be tomorrow. The Lord is going to do. Great Wonders on You by Jesus name, we pray.
