Waiting on the Lord

Source
Waiting on the Lord is a time to catch up with God because sometimes or most times we are far away from God.

Benefits of Waiting on God;

1. Waiting on the Lord is to catch up with God

Isaiah 40.30-31;
Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;
but those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.

2.Waiting to should make us know the Lord more

3.Our knowledge of God makes us strong and allow us to do exploits

Dan 11.32;
With flattery he will corrupt those who have violated the covenant, but the people who know their God will firmly resist him.

4. Fasting and Praying without a comprehensive knowledge that arises out of fellowship with Him that puts us in right standing with Him.

James 5.16;
Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.

Matt 6.3;
But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,

Heb 11.6;
And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

2 Tim 2.15;
Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.

Phil 4.6;
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

Knowing God is a full package and when you are strong, the enemy cannot defeat you.
Fasting brings you into a spirit of intimacy with God.
