Good Morning Blessed Saints of the Lord Jesus Christ, our Light in Darkness.

One of the biggest mistake while we are in the waiting room is leaving before our time is ready. We are tempted by a voice that tells us it is taking too long and then pressures of life and people start to push us to leave the waiting room. This gives us temporary relief or temporary joy, which eventually is taken away because it was not from God.

Matthew 16:21-23 “From that time Jesus began to show to His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day. Then Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, “Far be it from You, Lord; this shall not happen to You!” But He turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are an offense to Me, for you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men.”

Jesus knew the reason why He had to go through the sufferings, but Peter being led by the wrong voice pulled Him aside and rebuked Him. Peter was trying to tempt Jesus out of purpose. The waiting room is the place where you must endure the hardship of waiting for Gods answer to manifest, endure the pressure that mounts around you from people, families, friends and so forth. The devil will use these people to tell you to come out of the waiting room and go ahead of the Word of God.
While we are in the waiting room, we need to keep conversing with God through His Word, studying the Bible, getting wisdom until we are ready to recieve the blessing. This way we are led by the Word of God, by Jesus Christ and not by satans voice.

The Bibles says “as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God”(Romans 8:14). Therefore we need to allow the Holy Spirit to lead us out of the waiting room; not us going ahead of Him. Fill your mind with the things of God while you wait, and not the things of man. Just “wait patiently”
