- 0:00Speaker 1: Charlibody Praise Party.
- 0:02Speaker 2: I am Sherry Mackie at its time, right now, for
- 0:05Speaker 2: today's word, Your soon is closer than you think. Deuteronomy
- 0:11Speaker 2: six and ten says the Lord your God will soon
- 0:14Speaker 2: bring you into the land that he swore to give
- 0:17Speaker 2: you when he made a vow to your ancestors Abraham,
- 0:20Speaker 2: Isaac and Jacob. It is a land with the large,
- 0:24Speaker 2: prosperous cities that you did not build. You know, one
- 0:27Speaker 2: word from God can change everything, and that word is soon.
- 0:33Speaker 2: For the Israelites, soon probably sounded impossible. They wondered in
- 0:37Speaker 2: the wilderness for forty long years.
- 0:39Speaker 1: They had endured.
- 0:40Speaker 2: Scorching heat, uncertainty, battles with the enemy's disappointments, and the
- 0:44Speaker 2: consequences of their own disobedience. Many had buried loved ones
- 0:49Speaker 2: in the desert. Day after day looked exactly like the
- 0:52Speaker 2: day before. It would have been easy to conclude that
- 0:55Speaker 2: the promised land was nothing more than a distant dream.
- 0:59Speaker 2: But God had not forgotten his promise. At the appointed time,
- 1:03Speaker 2: he spoke a single word of hope. Soon, what they
- 1:07Speaker 2: had been waiting decades to experience was about to become reality.
- 1:11Speaker 1: Perhaps that's where you are today.
- 1:13Speaker 2: You've been praying for healing, but the diagnosis hasn't changed.
- 1:17Speaker 2: You've been believing for restoration in your family, but the
- 1:20Speaker 2: relationship still feels broken. You've been asking God for new opportunity,
- 1:24Speaker 2: financial breakthrough, or open doors, and nothing seems to be happening.
- 1:29Speaker 2: The temptation is to settle, to convince yourself that this
- 1:33Speaker 2: is simply how life will always be. But don't confuse
- 1:37Speaker 2: God's delay with God's denial. The God who made the
- 1:40Speaker 2: promises of saying, God who will fulfill it. What looks
- 1:44Speaker 2: like a long season of waiting may actually be preparation
- 1:47Speaker 2: for a greater blessing than you imagine. God often uses
- 1:50Speaker 2: a wilderness to strengthen our faith, develop our character, and
- 1:54Speaker 2: teach us.
- 1:55Speaker 1: To depend on Him.
- 1:56Speaker 2: Then, when the appointed time arrives, he brings us to
- 2:00Speaker 2: a place we could never have reached on our own.
- 2:04Speaker 2: Notice that God promised Israel cities. They did not build wells,
- 2:08Speaker 2: they did not dig in vineyards, they.
- 2:10Speaker 1: Did not plan.
- 2:11Speaker 2: In other words, He had already prepared blessings ahead of
- 2:14Speaker 2: their arrival.
- 2:15Speaker 1: Well, the same is true for you. Even now.
- 2:17Speaker 2: God is arranging circumstances behind the scenes. He's lining up
- 2:21Speaker 2: divine connections, opening unseen doors, moving obstacles out of the way,
- 2:25Speaker 2: and preparing opportunities you don't even know exists yet. Heaven
- 2:29Speaker 2: is working while you're waiting. That's why your attitude in
- 2:33Speaker 2: the waiting matters don't allow discouragement to replace expectancy.
- 2:37Speaker 1: Keep thanking God.
- 2:38Speaker 2: Before you see the answers, Keep praising Him before the
- 2:41Speaker 2: breakthrough arrives. Keep speaking words of faith instead of words
- 2:44Speaker 2: of defeat. Every prayer you've prayed, every tear you've pried,
- 2:47Speaker 2: every seed you've sown in obedience has not been overlooked
- 2:51Speaker 2: by God. Your soon is not determined by the calendar.
- 2:54Speaker 2: It's determined by God's perfect timing. And when his appointed
- 2:58Speaker 2: moment arrives, whatleaned delayed will suddenly become reality. You stay faithful,
- 3:04Speaker 2: you stay hopeful, You stay expectant. You're soon, maybe much
- 3:09Speaker 2: closer than you say.
- 3:10Speaker 1: Father.
- 3:11Speaker 2: Thank you that you are always faithful to every promise
- 3:14Speaker 2: you made. Thank you that, even when we can't see it,
- 3:17Speaker 2: you're working. You're preparing the blessing, the opportunity and breakthroughs.
- 3:21Speaker 1: That you've ordained for our lives.
- 3:22Speaker 2: Help us not to grow weary in the waiting or
- 3:25Speaker 2: allow doubt to steal our expectancy. Strengthen our faith to
- 3:28Speaker 2: keep trusting, praising, and believing that your perfect timing is
- 3:32Speaker 2: always worth the word.
- 3:33Speaker 1: Come, oh Jesus, we.
- 3:34Speaker 2: Declare that we will not settle for discouragement because we
- 3:38Speaker 2: know that you are leading us into everything that you
- 3:41Speaker 2: prepared for us. We believe our appointed time is coming,
- 3:44Speaker 2: our breakthrough is on the way and are soon. It's
- 3:46Speaker 2: closer than we think. In Jesus' name, Now that's your
- 3:49Speaker 2: word for today. Take it applied to your everyday life,
- 3:52Speaker 2: and you continue to be encouraged and inspired at your
- 3:54Speaker 2: early wanting praise party.
- 3:56Speaker 1: I am Sherry Mackie.
