I envisioned bright light shining between the frame of a closed wooden door.
The Holy Spirit quickened my spirit to search the scriptures.
(John 1:5)ESV
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
Then the Holy Spirit quickened my spirit with these words:
"It may look dead, closed off, a defeated situation, no way out. But light always outshines darkness. It may look like nothing is happening, but the Lord is working it out behind the scenes, in the spiritual realm. He's working it out for your good. You may have gotten a close door in your situation, but brighter days are on the other side of it. The Lord will make a way out of no way. When you least expect it. Be still and know that I am God. I can do more than you can ever think, or imagine. Victory is mine says the Lord."
When God is telling you to be still. He wants you to rest in Him, knowing that he'll carry you the rest of the way. He'll work everything out for your good. God said "abide in me."
(John 15:4) Amplified Bible
Remain in Me, and I [will remain] in you. Just as no branch can bear fruit by itself without remaining in the vine, neither can you [bear fruit, producing evidence of your faith] unless you remain in Me.
The Gospel of John tells a story about Jesus’ friends Lazarus, Mary and Martha. When Jesus found out that Lazarus was ill, rather than rush to Lazarus’ house to heal him, He stayed where He was for two more days. And before Jesus arrived in Bethany, Lazarus died.
(John 11:6) NIV
"So when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was two more days,"
Jesus’ silence could have been taken as Jesus not caring about or even wanting to help them.
This reflects many of the emotions we feel when God doesn't fix things or immediately answer us when we call on Him for help.
But in Jesus’ silence, we are drawn into a new closeness to God and understanding of His power. Four days after he died, Lazarus was raised from the dead by Jesus, showing His power.
Jesus doesn't show up when we want Him to, but He's always on time.
(Habakkuk 2:3) ESV
For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end—it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay.
(Ecclesiastes 3:1) ESV
For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven
The Prayer Of Salvation:
Dear Lord Jesus, I ask for your forgiveness of my sins, known, unknown, thought, deed, and word. I believe You died & rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I accept You as my Lord & Savior.
(Romans 10:13) NIV Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.
(Romans 10:9) NIV
If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
(Acts 2: 38-39) NASB
38 Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call.”
