Wait for the Lord; be strong and let your heart take courage;
yes, wait for the Lord (Ps. 27:14, NASB).
No matter what God has called us to do, one of the most difficult things we will face is the in-between time. In the beginning, He prepares our hearts for the calling. He gives us a glimpse of His plans for us, and it births great hope within us.
The difficulty is that there is always a time lag between the initial preparation and the outcome. The beginning often carries a great emotional surge. We know what God said, and we know we will see it happen, no matter what the enemy may throw at us in the process. Our faith is as tall as the mountains. We feel invincible in God’s promise. We take the initial steps and are excited to see the fruit of our labors.
Last month adverse winds struck in the most
unsuspecting place: Arizona. Tornadoes came out of nowhere in a place no one
expects them to come. Tornadoes are whirlwinds, adverse winds. What is getting
ready to happen in Arizona?
"God be merciful to us and bless us, and cause His face to shine upon us, Selah. That Your way may be known on earth, Your salvation among all nations" (Ps. 67:1-2).
I have been teaching
for several months that we are in a "set time" for the manifestation
of God's people. We are standing in the midst of what God has been prophesying
for generations. The kingdom of God is here, and I believe it is our
responsibility to wrap this age up. 
When God wants to bless you, He brings people into
your life. When Satan wants to destroy you, he brings people into your life.
And sometimes it’s hard to tell the difference.
