In the process of time
OPEN: READ*
1 SAMUEL 1:20 20 So in the course of time Hannah became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She named him Samuel, saying, “Because I asked the Lord for him.”
TIME HAS A PROCESS THAT WORKS OUT MY PROMISE
YOUR PROMISE IS IN PROCESS!
*Tracking your purchase delivery details
*PROPHETICALLY HANNAH REPRESENTS THE CHURCH IN THIS HOUR WHO IS IN PROCESS FOR THE PROMISE
WHAT GOD IS DOING IN YOU IS WHAT GOD CARES ABOUT MOST…YOU ARE THE PROMISE
1 SAMUEL 1:13 13 Hannah was praying in her heart, and her lips were moving but her voice was not heard. Eli thought she was drunk
WHAT GOD IS FORMING FOR YOU, HE IS FIRST FORMING IN YOU.
EXPEDITE THE PROCESSING OF YOUR CHARACTER BY PRAYING IN THE SPIRIT
ROMANS 8:26 “Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.”
EPHESIANS 6:18 “praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints—”
By faith Moses, when he became of age, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter,
choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin,
esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt; for he looked to the reward.
*YOUR SPIRIT KNOWS HOW TO FIND THE REWARD!
DON’T GIVE IN TO DISCOURAGEMENT
For who has despised the day of small things? For these seven rejoice to see The plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel. They are the eyes of the Lord, Which scan to and fro throughout the whole earth.”
HOLD ONTO THE WORD DURING THE TIME OF PROCESSING
WHEN IT DOESN’T ARRIVE OR DOESN’T LOOK LIKE YOU THOUGHT
Then he said to me, “Do not fear, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard; and I have come because of your words.
But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days; and behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left alone there with the kings of Persia.
KEEP PRAYING IN THE DELAYS!
PRAYERS RELEASE THE PROMISES!
THE PROCESS OF DELAY IS THE PRODUCTION PLANT OF YOUR PROMISE
YOU NEED A HIGH PRIEST *ADVOCATE
But He, because He continues forever, has an unchangeable priesthood.
Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.
ELI SAW THE PROMISE THAT HANNAH COULDN’T!
JESUS SEES YOUR PROMISE AND DEFENDS YOUR PROMISE
HOW TO RESPOND TO PROCESSING
HOPE IN DELAY *stay positive
This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters the Presence behind the veil,
HOPE IS AGGRESSIVE
FULLY COMMIT WHEN YOU WANT TO QUIT
Were the Ethiopians and the Lubim not a huge army with very many chariots and horsemen? Yet, because you relied on the Lord, He delivered them into your hand.
For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him. In this you have done foolishly; therefore from now on you shall have wars.”
RECOMMIT IN QUIT
HAPPY THOUGHTS ARE HARD WORK *IT’S EASY TO THINK NEGATIVELY
Let the wicked forsake his way, And the unrighteous man his thoughts; Let him return to the Lord, And He will have mercy on him; And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon.
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord.
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts.
PROCESSING YOUR PROMISED LIFE WILL REQUIRE A PROCESSED MIND IN THE SPIRIT.
YOUR THOUGHTS ARE IN CONTROL OF YOUR PROCESS!
PROOF OF A CHRISTIAN WHO IS IN PROCESS IS THEIR WILLING PARTICIPATION IN CONTROLLING THEIR THOUGHTS.
IT’S IMPOSSIBLE TO FAKE WHATS IN YOUR THOUGHTS. *NO POKER FACE IS STRONG ENOUGH TO HIDE THE REALITY OF NEGATIVITY
REMAIN HUMBLE WHILE IN PROCESS
Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time,
PRIDE DELAYS THE PROMISE
"Pride must die in you, or nothing of heaven can live in you.” -Andrew Murray.
YOU EITHER WANT TO BE RIGHT OR YOU WANT THE PROMISE…YOU CANNOT HAVE BOTH.
