“Then God Remembered”

This came as an encouragement and a timely reminder from the Elijah List, a prophetic bulletin I am subscribed to.  In the midst of my discouragement last year, the Lord spoke to me through my pastor.  The Lord said that I was like a seed planted in the ground.  At times, it may feel scary and alone being underground.  He reminded me not to despise the day of small beginnings, for in time the seed will sprout and grow into a tall tree.

Have you been feeling like a tiny seed planted in the ground, waiting for the time to sprout, waiting to bloom, to bear fruit?  Have you been holding on to a promise or a word God has spoken in the past, waiting, wondering if it’s true, wondering if God’s has forgotten you?  The word of God says deferred hope makes the heart sick.     Be strong; be encouraged.  Growth is natural; be faithful and keep walking.  There’s a time and season for everything.  The time of waiting and preparation will pass, eventually the time of commissioning will follow in the Lord’s timing and season.  It’s important to not get ahead of God’s timing nor stagger behind.  Read the following prophetic word given through Maria Magruder.

Many are called, but few are chosen. The "few" are the ones who "choose" the call. There is a remnant generation from the Church about to emerge from unknown places that have been hidden for many years.

These few are the ones who have been obedient to follow God's ways, though they were not what they would expect, nor what they would have chosen for themselves. As a matter of fact, these are the very people who are on the edge of their seat awaiting to see exactly "how" God is going to use them, and wondering "when" is that "set time" of God releasing them. For many, the waiting has been almost unbearable, and yet they have been at peace with staying hidden, staying in God's perfect plan and will. They have been "shut in" so to speak, just like Noah was "shut in" to the ark.  Click to read more...
