We want quick answers to our prayers. And thank God, from time to time, we get them–we experience immediate manifestations! Often, however, we pray and then we wait. “You have need of patience,” the Bible says, “that after you’ve done the will of God you may receive the promise.” (Heb. 10:35) So what should you […]

Are you “standing on the promises” of God as you await a breakthrough? That’s what I used to do. But as it is with standing physically, I discovered the manner in which I was “standing” on the promises could be exhausting. Standing for long periods of time wears you out! But I’ve found a better […]
