I preached a sermon last Wednesday titled it’s time to grow up. Earlier that day someone came up to me telling me that they had gone to a conference and they were learning about the ministry of angels. I had just gotten back from São Paulo Brazil and met with a Pastor and when I asked him what the Lord had been saying he said… Many people are looking for a fresh prophetic word, a sign from God or some new wonder but He had been teaching his congregation that it all comes back to Jesus. The revelation immediately hit me… When the Pharisees would see a miracle, they would come to Jesus and ask him for another miracle or another sign to prove what He was saying and Jesus would say… “Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee. But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas: for as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭12‬:‭38‬-‭40‬ ‭KJV‬‬ The sign of Jonah was Jesus pointing backward to an event that was prophetically pointing forward to the greatest sign and wonder. God being crucified on the cross. Paul later spoke saying… “ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.” 2 Timothy 3:7 We don’t need a new sign, a new teaching, a new revelation, a new anointing… we need to simply obey the last command. You see there’s this pattern that people are running in circles looking for breakthrough, traveling far and wide to find an epiphany but their breakthrough is tied to obedience. Think about it… the entire Bible is tied to obedience. Deuteronomy 28 gives an exhaustive list of blessings for obedience and an even longer list of curses for disobedience. “And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:”

Hey Family, I was thinking about tonight and I'm always reminded that this is intended to be mentoring, not a Bible Study. What makes mentoring effective is when you ask questions that are specific to your life. No pressure, but I think the call would be more enjoyable if you posted questions in the chat at the beginning of the call and what we talk about can be based on real world issues that you all are dealing with.

There is something deeply comforting about a navigation system. You type in the destination. The route appears. You begin to drive. And then—suddenly—you miss a turn. What happens? The system doesn’t scold you. It doesn’t abandon you. It doesn’t say, “You’ve ruined the trip.” It simply says: “Recalculating.” Within seconds, a new path appears. In many ways, this is exactly how our gracious Heavenly Father deals with His children. The Bible tells us: “The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand.” —Psalm 37:23–24 Notice what Scripture does not say. It does not say we will never stumble. It does not say we will never miss a turn. But it does promise we will not be utterly cast down. Life has twists, detours, delays, and unexpected turns. Sometimes we make decisions we later wish we had made differently. Sometimes we rush ahead of God’s timing. Other times we feel as though we have fallen behind. But when your life is placed in the hands of God, He does not cancel your promise because of a wrong turn. He simply recalculates. Romans 8:28 reminds us: “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” Not some things. All things. Even the missed exits. Even the seasons of waiting. Even the moments when life didn’t unfold the way we expected. Think of Joseph. Betrayed by his brothers, sold into slavery, and forgotten in prison. None of that looked like the dream God had shown him. Yet every apparent detour was God recalculating the path that would eventually lead him to the palace. Think of the children of Israel. They wandered in the wilderness for forty years, yet God’s promise never disappeared. The journey took longer than expected, but the destination remained the same. Proverbs 16:9 declares: “A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps.”

The Lord says in Isaiah 55, “My thoughts are not like yours. Your ways are not like mine… Just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways.” How often we look at our situation through human reasoning—limited by what we see, what we feel, and what we fear. But heaven is not reacting to your circumstance. Heaven has already spoken. And when God speaks, something happens. He said, “Rain and snow fall from the sky and don’t return until they have watered the ground… In the same way, my words leave my mouth, and they don’t come back without results.” My dear friend, that means every promise God has spoken over your life carries divine assignment. His Word does not fail. It does not expire. It does not weaken with time. It succeeds in what He sends it to do. This is why worship is so powerful. When you worship, you are not merely singing—you are agreeing. You are aligning your voice with heaven’s voice. You are declaring, “Lord, I trust Your thoughts above mine. I trust Your ways above mine.” Worship breaks the grip of fear and releases the authority of His Word over your life. When you declare, “The Lord is my shepherd,” provision begins to line up. When you proclaim, “By His stripes I am healed,” faith rises in your spirit. When you confess, “God will supply all my needs,” you are watering the soil of your future with divine truth. His Word is like rain. It may take time, but it always produces a harvest. Perhaps today you are believing for healing. Perhaps you are standing in faith for your family, your finances, or direction for your future. Do not allow temporary delay to silence eternal truth. Beneath the surface, God’s Word is working. Roots are forming. Strength is developing. Breakthrough is being prepared. And the promise concludes with this beautiful assurance: “You will go out with joy and be led out in peace.” That is your portion. Joy in the journey. Peace in the process. Confidence in the outcome.
