The Lord says that for everything there is a season or time. What season are you facing? What time are you anticipating to come or end? Has the spirit of impatience convinced you to find an alternative to the promises of God because what you have named and claimed in Jesus' name has not come to pass? The Lord our God, perfectly exemplified patience in his life. He consistently showed us the value and fruitful outcome of waiting patiently on our Holy Father. He did not allow satan and people to provoke or push him to do the works of the Father until the proper season. He did not relinquish the tasks set before him, by the Father, when his enemies attempted to pressure and provoke him to do so.

God wants us to be patient for in it we shall win the true life of our souls, (Luke 21:19). Our enemy however wants us to react with impatience to set our own course or follow the directives of another. Following the report or directive of anyone other than Christ will take us out of the will of God. The Lord will rebuke impatient thoughts and acts saying that, "If you have raced with men on foot and they have tired you out, then how can you compete with horses? And if you take to flight in a land of peace where you feel secure, then what will you do when you tread the tangled maze of jungle haunted by lions in the swelling and flooding of the Jordan?” (Jeremiah 12:5).

Jesus came that we might have life and have it more abundantly. Satan is a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in truth, because there is no truth in Him. When he speaks a falsehood, he speaks what is natural to him, for he is a liar and the father of lies and of all that is false, (John 8:44). To experience and win true life, abundant life we must be patient in Christ Jesus. We have got to rest in Him. Do not be misled by reports that falsify the report of the Lord, for the father of such reports is also a thief and destroyer. He has come to steal kill and destroy. His job is to take away innocence, joy, peace, love, unity, and power. He specializes in killing what God has ordained; marriage, family, ministry, community and more. It is and has always been his mission to take the life out of what God has put His hand on. He is the destroyer. He sends the spirit of impatience our way so that we help him move in and steal, kill and destroy that which the Lord has given unto us, but God is our Healer, Restorer of the breach and the Master Builder. He restores what the enemy took from us, heals as well as resurrects what the enemy thought that he killed and yes, builds what the enemy assumed was destroyed and brought to finality.

Our God is patient and will even allow seasons for the enemy to run havoc in Christians lives. However, in His time, the Spirit of God will move in to uproot and establish what He wants. Not by might nor power, but by His Spirit he will do it. It is the Spirit of God who must give us the patience of God to endure tribulation, for endurance leads to experience, and experience leads to victory. Bind the patience of Christ to you and loose the impatient spirit that intends to work defeat and devastation in your life. God who is greater and mightier than all else will not allow you to be snatched out of His hand. He alone will bring you into your time of promise when you wait patiently on His doings.
