Waiting For Mr. Left (Interracial)

Ch 18 I Do

HEY AWESOMETTES & AWESOMITES!!

BACK AT IT. ALRIGHT BEFORE I EVEN GET TO THE WRITING, I NEED TO EXPLAIN SOME THINGS FIRST. I'M SURE SOME OF YOU WILL THINK IT'S BAD WRITING THAT MARQUIS IS HEALED SO FAST. IMMA (YES, I SAID IMMA) STOP YOU RIGHT THERE. GOD IS NOT SLOW. HE CAN PERFORM A MIRACLE FASTER THAN YOU BLINK. HE CREATED ALL OF CREATION IN 6 DAYS ON THE 7TH DAY HE RESTED. NOT 6 WEEKS, NOT 6 MONTHS, NOT 6 YEARS, NOT 6 DECADES, NOT 6 MILLENNIA; 6 DAYS. THE ONLY REASON BREAKTHROUGH/MIRACLES/MANIFESTATIONS SEEM TO TAKE SO LONG, IS BECAUSE OF YOUR FAITH.

YOU HAVE TWO CHOICES: YOU CAN CONTINUE READING THIS AND LEARN SOMETHING, OR YOU CAN SKIP STRAIGHT TO THE STORY. YOUR CHOICE, I LOVE YOU EITHER WAY.

IN HEBREWS 11:1, "NOW FAITH IS THE SUBSTANCE OF THINGS HOPED FOR, THE EVIDENCE OF THINGS NOT SEEN."

IN MATTHEW 17:20; "AND JESUS SAID UNTO THEM, BECAUSE OF YOUR UNBELIEF (REFERRING TO WHEN THE DISCIPLES COULDN'T CAST A DEMON OUT, YET JESUS' UNLIMITED FAITH GOT IMMEDIATE RESULTS ON THAT SAME DEMON): FOR VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU, IF YE HAVE FAITH AS A GRAIN (I REPEAT GRAIN! HOW MANY OF YA'LL KNOW THAT GRAINS ARE SMALL? HOW MANY OF YA'LL KNOW HOW SMALL A MUSTARD SEED IS?" MOVING ON.) YE SHALL SAY UNTO THIS MOUNTAIN, REMOVE HENCE TO YONDER PLACE; AND IT SHALL REMOVE AND NOTHING SHALL BE IMPOSSIBLE UNTO YOU."

FAITH! IF YOU'RE MIRACLE/BREAKTHROUGH SEEMS TO BE TAKING FOREVER. CHECK YOUR FAITH. THINGS CAN HAPPEN OVER TIME, OR THINGS CAN HAPPEN IN AN INSTANT. AS CHILDREN OF THE MOST HIGH GOD, WE HAVE ACCESS TO THE SUPERNATURAL AT ALL TIMES. DAYS, WEEKS, MONTHS, YEARS...THAT'S ALL NATURAL.

GOD IS NOT HINDERED BY TIME. HE IS A SUPERNATURAL GOD AND OPERATES SUPERNATURALLY. AND AS HIS CHILDREN, WE ARE NOT HINDERED BY TIME. JUST BECAUSE WE LIVE ON THIS PLANET DOESN'T MEAN EVERY LAW APPLIES TO US. (I.E. THE ECONOMY IS THE WORLD'S PROBLEM, YOU ARE APART OF GOD'S ECONOMY, HE IS YOUR PROVIDER. THEREFORE, YOU ARE NOT SUBJECT TO THE WORLD'S ECONOMY). MOVING ON.

EXAMPLE OF WHEN FAITH WORKS IMMEDIATELY: EXODUS 14

WHEN MOSES AND THE ISRAELITES HAD LEFT EGYPT, BUT THE PHARAOH AND HIS ARMY WERE ON THEIR TAILS. BY FAITH MOSES BELIEVED GOD WOULD DELIVER THEM, AND HEARKENED UNTO HIS VOICE. AND BECAUSE MOSES HAD FAITH IN GOD, GOD STOOD BETWEEN HIS PEOPLE AND PHARAOH AND HIS ARMY, WHILE THE RED SEA WAS PARTED AND ALLOWED THEM ALL TO CROSS SAFELY. WHEN THEY WERE SAFELY ACROSS, AND PHARAOH AND HIS ARMY WERE DUMB ENOUGH TO THINK GOD FORGOT TO "CLOSE THE GATE" AND PROCEEDED TO FOLLOW AFTER THEM. GOD RIGGED THEIR CHARIOTS, SHUT THE WATER GATES, AND PHARAOH AND HIS ARMY DROWNED. MOSES TRUSTED GOD. HE DIDN'T TELL FOLKS START FINDING FLOATATION DEVICES, OR ASKED WHO COULD SWIM, HE TRUSTED GOD, AND GOD DELIVERED THEM ALL.

EXAMPLE OF WHEN YOUR LACK OF FAITH GETS IN THE WAY: (YOU CAN READ THIS FOR YOURSELF IN GENESIS 16:1 - 18:19, 21:8)

IN SHORT, GOD TOLD ABRAM & SARAI THAT THEY WOULD HAVE AN HEIR (THERE'S MORE TOO IT THAN THAT, BUT FOR THE SAKE OF THIS EXAMPLE, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE USING). NOW ABRAM AND SARAI WERE OLD, AND SARAI WAS BARREN. (THEY DIDN'T BECOME ABRAHAM AND SARAH UNTIL LATER, BUT THAT'S ANOTHER LESSON) THEY HAD TWO THNGS WORKING AGAINST THEM. ANYWAYS, TAKING THE PROMISE OF GOD INTO THEIR OWN HANDS, BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T BELIEVE RIGHT, AND TOOK GOD'S PROMISE AS A CHALLENGE, THEY HAD AN ISHMAEL. GOD WAITED UNTIL ABRAM WAS TOO OLD TO GET IT UP (HIS BABY MAKER HAD RETIRED FOR GOOD. AND SARAI WOULDN'T FEEL IT EVEN IF HE COULD, THAT AND SHE'S STILL BARREN). THEN GOD APPEARS TO HIM AGAIN WHEN ABRAM WAS 99 YEARS OLD AND SARAI WAS 90 (THIS IS WHEN GOD'S GRACE MADE THEM ABRAHAM & SARAH...AGAIN ANOTHER LESSON), AND SAYS THE SAME THING. SEE EVEN THOUGH ABRAM & SARAI TOOK THE PROMISE OF GOD AS A CHALLENGE TO BRING IT TO PASS THEMSELVES, GOD HUNG BACK AND LET THEM DO THEM, SO THEY COULD SEE THE DIFFERENCE OF WHEN THEY WORK TO BRING ABOUT GOD'S PROMISES, AND WHEN GOD WORKS TO BRING HIS OWN PROMISES TO PASS. GOD WAITED UNTIL IT WAS LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR THEM CONCEIVE THEMSELVES, WITHOUT HIS HELP. LONG STORY SHORT, EVEN AFTER ALL OF THAT, GOD DID IT ANYWAY. IT TOOK A WHILE, BECAUSE THEY CHOSE TO BELIEVE IN WHAT THEY COULD MAKE HAPPEN, RATHER THAN WHAT GOD PROMISED HE WOULD BRING TO PASS. IT WASN'T UNTIL THEY STOPPED DEPENDING ON THEIR OWN EFFORTS, AND STARTED TRUSTING IN GOD, THAT THEY HAD ISAAC.
