It Is Not IF, but WHEN

It Is Not IF, but WHEN



When you know that Jesus is the Beginning and the End, the Alfa and the Omega, you surely do rest. He sees the end from the beginning. And the beginning from the end

If God has whispered in your heart about something, or planted a God-dream in you, I'd like to declare to you, Be at rest. He is the beginning and the end. What I mean by that? You see: 

God said to Moses in Exodus 3:

God said to Moses: WHEN YOU HAVE BROUGHT the people out, then... 
But Moses protested: IF I GO to the people of Israel, then -

This means God sees Moses ALREADY having led the people out! 
He sees the end from the beginning! 
But Moses sees only difficulties and challenges to even GET STARTED...

I'd like to encourage you: When God has spoken, it is a DONE deal. 
Its not IF, but WHEN.

To illustrate:

It’s not: IF we are going for holiday, then...
It is more: WHEN we are going for holiday, then...

It is most: WHEN WE HAVE BEEN on our holiday, then...

Waiting



I'm reading about Noah and the ark. 

"Then the ark rested in the seventh month, the seventeenth day of the month, on the mountains of Ararat." Genesis 8:4 NKJV

And as I continue reading: 

The boat came to rest on the mountains of Ararat 
---> 2 ½ months later, as the waters continued to go down 
---> After another 40 days 
----> After waiting another 7 days 
---> He waited another 7 days 
---> 2 more months went by 
---> At last the earth was dry!


Noah (which means 'Rest') was right where he was supposed to be
Yet there was such a long wait involved! 

Are you waiting, too?

'The wait' is like 'sit still and see Him work.' 

We might as well enjoy the wait, enjoy 'the now', 
and start preparing with expectancy for what we know lies ahead. 

He Who promised is faithful.
