"God Can Speed Things Up On Your Behalf..."
2 Peter 3:8-9
The Passion Translation
So, dear friends, don’t let this one thing escape your notice: a single day counts like a thousand years to the Lord Yahweh, and a thousand years counts as one day. This means that, contrary to man’s perspective, the Lord is not late with his promise to return, as some measure lateness. But rather, his “delay” simply reveals his loving patience toward you, because he does not want any to perish but all to come to repentance.
We believe God wants to do exceedingly abundantly above and beyond what you could even ask or think. He can take you further faster than you could ever dream. God can speed things up on your behalf. Because you honor and trust will only take you a fraction of the time. This is the kind of God that in Him, things that should have taken you a lifetime to accomplish we serve!
We see this all through Scripture. In just one day, David went from a shepherd boy to the one who led the Israelite army to victory. Ruth was a poor widow collecting scraps in the field and God sent her to Boaz. She went from begging in the field to owning the field. God breathed in her direction. God took her further faster.
Remember, the thoughts you think and the words you say are prophesying your future. If you want to see a shift occur in your life, you have to get in agreement with God and say, "Yes, God, this is for me. I thank You that I am coming into my destiny sooner than I imagined!"
