1. God is preparing and developing others 2. God is preparing and developing you 3. God is allowing you to grow in your dependence on Him and, ultimately, to understand His trustworthy character
This message was so on time, it served as confirmation and peace for my soul. This waiting season I would describe as TRUST and REST. God is good and His timing is perfect, we only need to trust in and rest on His promises. Don't take your season for granted, but rather take advantage of growing closer to God in a unique way and letting His will be done in Your life. All in the end for His glory! ❤✝
Yes trust & rest that’s a word within itself!! It can be challenging when your so use to trusting in yourself & grinding hard! Truth is trusting & resting is equally important! Thanks so much for the confirmation!🥹💖
God has used you to talk to me today, I needed this word today🙌. I have been praying for a job for a month now and to my disappointment today I learned that I wasn't picked for the job. I cried and questioned God why because I have been jobless for 3years now. Am financially struggling and this word came in time for me, I needed to hear it. Thank you so much🤗
Love I know how you feel. I just graduated from University and all I've encountered thus far is rejection. Also rejection with friendships, relationships etc. I pray that God helps you through your process and in his timing provides you with the perfect job. Who knows Deborah....may God has put alot into you and is saying you can create ur own business and career pathway❤
I am in this same walk with you and will pray for us both to experience the renewing of the mind and inner strength. May we find the courage to believe that He is faithful and this will all be for our good and His glory.
When I was laid off due to the pandemic beginning 2020 I felt so lost. 2 years of highs and lows. These two years were also important for me in repairing my relationship with God. I prayed, cried and had many conversations with God until he opened doors for me this year in getting a job. I did and still question why God has placed me in this season of waiting. Watching peers doing better than me really did (and still) gets to me hard but I also believe God is keeping me isolated just a bit longer and has a bigger vision that is yet to come. It’s a long journey, but please keep praying and cry whenever you need to. Do things that you enjoy and just hang in there. God definitely has your back and there is a job waiting for you. I will also keep you in my prayers - for all of you in this thread. Good luck ❤
Many words come to mind but one word that comes to mind specifically is faith. During the wait , faith is key. The Bible says faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen. Our faith propels God to move because faith is what pleases Him. During our waiting, we may be eager while being patient & we may even have questions while trying to trust God in the wait. But God is faithful, and God’s timing is perfect. We just have to trust and know that He is and has always been faithful. He even has a resume or track record (His Word) to prove it. While we wait in faith, we continue to thank God for Who He is, what He’s doing, for what He’s already done, and thank Him for allowing His will to be done in our lives concerning those things we’re waiting for. I love this conversation lol. Great topic ! You made a great a point about waiting and how it’s important to wait well. This is where I am, learning how to wait well and having faith that God is still God and He is still good. Thanks Love ! Great tips 🤍
Man look at God! Showing up again when I need him the most. Jut today the apartment unit I’ve had my eye on was taken. I was waiting for the price to decrease but I knew I wanted it, it’s perfect! I was sad to see it’s gone but I thought on the positive side. I said well if it was meant to be it’d be there. But now imagine the better thing God has in store for me now. I will wait on him because I trust him even though it’s scary. He’s my father and he knows best! 🥰 I’m also waiting for a husband and better job opportunities and two words to describe these waiting season is “anxious but trusting”
When I think about the season of waiting , I think about preparation. In order to experience the fullness of Gods blessing , our hearts and minds need to be prepared. Even though we often think we are ready when we ask; often times we aren’t . I look at the preparation as God being intentional.
MELODY! Literally in a waiting season and had a whole break down yesterday. 😭 I was like “let me go see what Melody has uploaded…” And SIS! You’re talking about waiting!!! Listen God has been using your videos to speak to me for the past year. You are so in your BAG concerning him sis! 🔥 I just want to affirm you to keep going. He is so pleased. Bless you.
The one word that comes to mind is patience. To be able to cultivate that fruit of the spirit while waiting is an added blessing to reaping the bounty of Christ and savouring the rich sweetness of his blessings.
For me the waiting seasons means that GOD is working behind the scenes for my good and the results will be far more abundantly than I expect or think of.
Perfect timing! Just going through circumstances that made me feel impatient and restless. This is just a reminder from God that what he promised, He will do it and that I need to draw closer to him while I'm waiting so I can rest. ❤️
Trust is the word I think of! I am quick to lose faith in God when I don’t understand the waiting process or I don’t see the promise immediately. I believe that God has me wait so He can teach me how to trust Him even when i don’t want to/feel like it won’t happen. Thanks for this video!
wow, i’m convinced God uses you to speak directly to me! today i got the news that my last year of med school may be postponed a couple months because of some monetary issues and it was causing my family a little stress and anxiety but i kept my cool and prayed through getting the news. soon after i watched your video and there was just this overwhelming sense of peace that spread over my heart. i still don’t know exactly what may happen but i’m certain whatever the outcome i have a chance to lean into depending on the Lord, worshiping and testifying with my life 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Reverence. Seeing the mighty nature of God. He does truly something beyond you think of. So reverence. Because all you can do is stand still and watch.
The words that would describe my waiting season would be: pressing and arduous However, it is building me up in areas I’m weak in and revealing a lot of truths I was blind to before.
In my season of waiting, I am learning that I'm loved by God, especially when I make mistakes. I can see now that he appreciates my effort and encourages me to keep going especially when I want to cower and feel incompetent. When I've messed up I sometimes feel/hear a sweet and engulfing presence telling me" It's okay, keep going.", "I'm here, you're not alone."," I told you it wouldn't be as bad as you thought." Immediately after, I feel so much better because through this time, that's really all I need. God's Validation, protection, and guidance. Thank you for having your channel.
Two words for me, even though I feel like it can be many, - is GRATITUDE and PATIENCE. Because phew child, being grateful in a season of waiting is HARD! like the thing you want you do not have yet and so you can spiral into a space of complaining forgetting that God still has blessed you with many many things. There much to be thankful for. Thank you for your timely video. God bless you.
Mine would be patience, trust, and understanding that God is totally in control. I've accepted a job, and it's been hard to wait for when I will start. There seems to be a delay after a delay, with references taking longer than usual. This video came at the right time for me. Thank you.
Mine would be patience and endurance. I’m learning to wait without complaining and being joyful no matter what it looks like. Thank you for letting the Holy Spirit use you because all three points was confirmation for me. God bless you Melody and your family ❤️ Continue to be obedient. You’re helping us sisters out more than you realize.
Trust is my word. Trusting in God I learned to let go and let God, knowing he's working all things out (my prayers) and his promise to me (the vision he placed in my heart) will all come together in his perfect timing. 🙏🏽
Holy Spirit Speaking right thru you. God has been speaking to me about “development” and just as film has to go into the dark room to be developed, sometimes we gotta go thru the “dark room”. While in this season of preparation God is 1) Speaking PATIENCE 2) Worship & WORK While You Wait 3) Partnering with him on this journey. Faith + Works =Results …. God Bless! 🙏🏼🌟❤️ Thank you for sharing
Those who wait on the Lord will not be put to shame ❤️ I love that verse . God is teaching me that the waiting has purpose like you said he’s preparing us for what is to come
This message resonated with me on many levels. Just today in my journey of rediscovering the word I was saying I would start reading my daughter bible stories and I wanted to start with my favorite, Mary. And you started with Mary today. God is always hearing me and that solidifies my trust in him and I have to show him that I’m trustworthy and can stand by my faith. Thank you Melody!
Thank you so much for this encouragement, apart from what you have touched on, one of the things God is doing in my waiting season is helping me create capacity for what I’m waiting and praying for.. many times we pray for certain things and yet we don’t even have the capacity to be able to withstand the pressure it’s come with ..therefore, while I wait God is enlarging my capacity receive and accommodate.
“ There is purpose in your pain” one of my favorite saying, because it’s not just for us but to help others along the way. Having to wait is not always God saying “No” he could simply be saying “not yet” and just pruning us for the preparation. Love this video !!
when i think of waiting i thing of the word ambiguous. To be ambiguous is to be open to more than one interpretation. So even if doubts creep up or others feed us alternatives, we are still 100% open to Gods promise
My one word: HOPEFUL where would we be without hope. It is so encouraging to be hopeful. Keeps me motivated and excited because I believe in all that God wants and hopes for me. Thank you for the very encouraging video 🥰
One word that comes to my mind in a season of waiting is Pruning. God has to truly work out things within us and show us the ways of our heart. He doesn’t want us to jeopardize our own blessing
My few words are....worth it 🙏 At the beginning of this year I prayed that God would bless me with a job. If I am honest at one point I got tired of waiting but God gave me the strength to wait on Him.I started working in May of this year. God is so good it was worth the wait. I've learned to depend on God's timing.
The one word for me would be Patience. It takes a lot of patience in the waiting season. Patience is a skill I am working on because of how society is today I’m thinking everything has to be quick and in a hurry. I know one day I will be an expert at it.
For me it's Trust and Patience! This is a big struggle for me. I'm learning in this current season I'm in (single) it's very important to have patience and trust with God and myself.
There are so many words that comes to mind in this waiting season. Faith, believe, trust, confidence and endurance then you will have peace of mind. God bless you all😊❤
One thing God is teaching me this season is patient . I have so much questions that’s causing confusion for me but one thing God keeps reminding me is patient.
Suffering and Patience; godly suffering brings about discipline and there’s order to how God operates and it’s important to understand who our Father is and His character but to also recognize what he is not. I’m learning in this season that the enemy is subtle in his schemes and deception is indeed real and no matter how long we’ve walked with the LORD, we can and will be deceived but when we are trained up in the LORD through waiting and self-discipline we begin to see those deceptions much sooner and we’re able to Stand Firm, Be on guard, and Remain steadfast in the Will of God by the Word of God. Waiting keeps us humble and at the LORD’s feet♥️
Thanks sis. It’s not easy to wait especially when life seems uncertain. Yet, what you said is true that during the waiting season, it allows us to give full control of our life to God. To know that he has the say over our life. Only God.
Thank you Melody! Much appreciated from Zimbabwe. I think of PATIENCE when it comes to the wait. It all makes sense when we pass the waiting period. 2 Corinthians 4 vs 16-18 Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
Discipline and discernment are very much in my season of waiting. I’m leaning more but also understanding my choices can change the momentum. Praying for wisdom and steadfastness. Thank you for this on time video.❤
This is great counsel on three foundational aspects of waiting on God. There is the Word and there is the Wait. The longer the Wait upon receipt of the Word--usually the greater the impact. His Kingdom is arising. Blessings to you.
Another timely word Melody.. so grateful❤💛. My word that I would use to describe in my waiting season is: Certainty. Just like you said, God has a trustworthy nature and carrying an unshakeable peace during my waiting season and knowing that He will make all His promises come to pass has been sooo important to me. 💕Looking back, I am so glad that His timing is the best timing!
One word I think of to describe my waiting season would be to patience and listening. Being a 20 year old in college who constantly feels like they are meant to be doing something different. I still struggle with being patient with God and his will. I have a hard time listening to God when he sends me signs or warns me about certain people, actions of my own or others. But, I am slowly learning to listen more instead of talking so much even if that means I am talk out loud or talking in my head.
Hello Melody, you and your speech is a sign of God's sovereignty in your life. It is so profound to see young women, ladies, gentlemen, and men with the Faith of Jesus! Keep on being a blessing. I am so inspired Spiritual Maturity is my one word!
The first word that came to mind is STRETCH! This was right on time! I always enjoy learning from your channel and it blesses me so! God uses you in such a peaceful yet mighty way! Thank you Sis!❤
Thank you sis for this message...it was Gods time for me to get it...waiting on God has taught me to read the bible more and pray in spirit...i have also learnt that faith is based on what we dont see .just believing that God will keep his word..our wait in the lord will not be in vain..Isaiah 49:23...be encouraged all..❤❤❤
Thank you so much for sharing lately I have look been crying a lot nothing wrong in my life that makes me cry but I cry it's not a sad cry there is this joy in me as I cry but I cry when I read the word of God or listen to sermon have been playing about it for for God to show me and I feel God is preparing me for some thing but I do not know for what. I literally prayed about it today your video was in my feed wow lord!
I can’t think of one word but when I think of waiting only “Greatness is coming” comes to my mind. There’s so much more on the other side of waiting and wanting to rush it and control our situations is no help to us when God is in control
I ABSOLUTELY needed to hear this! I'm in a season of waiting and this has definitely changed my perspective for the better. After hearing this message, I would choose 'evolving' as my adjective. I am no longer the person I was at the beginning of this season. The experiences I've gone through have really changed who I am, and I definitely feel that these new qualities will assist me in whatever God has destined for me. Thank you SO MUCH for the encouragement❤
Your 3rd point really hits home, the past 24 days I've learned to depend on Him and really come to realize that He is in control of everything, this character of depending on Him for strength, protection, and provision is blossoming thank you so much for making me aware
I love your content ! I have been going through a rough patch, parting ways so unexpectedly with someone who I felt a true connection with, I was so hurt, I kept wondering why? but after this I'm starting to see what happened from a different perspective, that God is preparing me for something better, and that this is just a delay and not a decline. That maybe this change was for the both of us and not just me, so thank you because I was seeing everything from a low perspective❤
Needed this.. I keep blasting “I will walk by faith” by Jeremy camp in my headphones almost every day cause it’s so hard. God ain’t answering me and I have so many questions. I still pray out of faith and I won’t give up on him, but it’s just so difficult and frustrating. I will still walk by faith even when I cannot see, hear, or feel him.
This was an awesome reminder for me! This season I felt like Job 😩! A season of long suffering! That was my word BUT now I can testify that it’s a season of true JOY (my now word) 😊 while still waiting on the promises God gave me! I’ve grown to understand what complete trust and dependency on God is! How to be content and joyful even when it seem like nothing is work out! God is so good and He’s working everything out for our good. Romans 8:28 James 1:2-4 Romans 5:2-5 It maybe hard right now but the reward will be so GREAT!
