When God speaks to us by the Spirit of prophecy, as we take hold of it by faith in our hearts and in our prayers, it releases the work of the Lord in the atmosphere, around us, into ourselves and others concerning the things God desires to accomplish. Some things happen quickly, while others we must stand and persevere for.

     God has a calendar.  He may speak a thing prophetically, as in the garden of Eden when He spoke that the seed of the woman would break the power of the devil.  It took approximately 4,000 years for that prophecy to be fulfilled in Jesus Christ.

In that, we learn that the longer it takes for a prophecy to be fulfilled, the greater the work of that prophecy.

      The timing of the Lord is so important, which is related to the "suddenlies" of God, where by faith it is, yet it has not been (manifested), but "suddenly" God touches that which has been prepared through faith, prayer, and subsequent action, and it "suddenly" is!

     Be encouraged, my friend.  Take hold of the prophecies below concerning matters we face together in this day, and know the Word of the Lord will prevail as we stand.  Don't faint, for it is harvest time!
