Understanding The Ways of The Lord(Pastor Maria Tajon)
Is 55:8-13 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.

There are many things in our lives that are not for us to work out, we must wait and have the patience to allow the Lord to do it, so we will not birth Ishmaelites.
We must understand that before the ruling in the Kingdom, there has to be a pit, and before the pit there is a stripping.
Can you pass this stress test, can you sit down and be at peace in the refiners fire. We must not run from the fire, but settle ourselves into the flames and allow all the impurities, to be purged out.
We have to get the picture that no matter where we our in our life God is with us, as long as we are going in the direction he is taking us. We have to walk in a way that we will not betray our God.
When we are in the pit we have to make the right moves, and those moves have to be in the direction that The Lord is leading us. See, the enemy will take away everything from you EXCEPT your ability to respond correctly. You have to realize when the enemy has done all he can to move you, you must stay grounded, for he will come with The Luring's and Tugging's of SIN! The enemy will come in with "Seduction" to seduce the Man of GOD! He will come in with Gossip and backbiting to Lure The Woman of GOD!
Our FREE WILL is the choice as to how we are going to respond.
How many Ishmaelites do we have to birth before we release it to God and say " I don't know what you are doing, so there is no way that I can help, God have your way." Seek the timing and face of the Lord. And know this deep deep down in your Spirit, when God restores, HE multiplies, for HE rewards faithfulness, and it's all because you were able to fight through all the schemes of the enemy.
There is another temptation in the time of the pit and that is to partially obey. If we don't understand where we are in life, then we'll be tempted to step out of the things of GOD. Just because there is a delay doesn't mean no, it just means to settle in that place and wait on the Lord.

"The Response is my FREE WILL."

We have to have a people like Joseph to arise.
Clothed in all the giftings and callings that GOD has destined for them, and unmovable.

Gen 50:19-20 And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God? (20) But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.
