*hey, you. whoever’s reading this, this is your sign. everything’s gonna be okay. you did not come this far to give up. I believe in you ❤*

I’ve been waiting for God to give us children for 12 years. This message blessed me! Delayed by design!

Delay in time of sickness? Hardly bearable. It's 5 years since my son got sick and he's still fighting. It's always easy to believe in God when you are happy and healthy, but to have faith and believe in God's timing, when it seems all lost and dark, that's hard. We STILL believe in him, his love, his perfect timing and his best way for Josua. ❤

I'm in awe of how timely this word is in my life. Almost five years ago God called me to leave my career, stay home full time with my family, and....write a book. I had to walk through fire to obey that call, but God helped me do it and I finished it in less than a year. I was so excited to get it out there, but despite the fact that God said it would be published, no one picked it up. I entered the delay just as Covid was hitting and when I cried out to God about it He said, "when Covid is over, I will bring you a publisher." During that time, God has refined me and healed me more than I ever thought possible. Then, just a month ago I got Covid for the first time. Then I got it again, within a month! That was the most blessed sickness I've ever had. He used that time to help me cross over into my own personal promised land as I learned deep stillness and rest in Him. Just as I was fully recovering, God spoke to my heart "Remember that book? Release it as a podcast." It hit me, after Covid meant after my Covid (after we got rid of masks and everything I was like where is my publisher God? I didn't understand, but by His grace I held on), and this word He gave me will be released in a way I would never have thought of myself. Wow! God's ways are so much higher than mine! I can attest to everything you've said, down to Psalm 37:3-7. He's brought me back to that again and again throughout my wilderness of waiting, and I have come to be so grateful for it. There is refining in the waiting and it is so worth it. Hold onto those promises brothers and sisters! John and Arden, thank you for this timely, Spirit-filled word. May it be multiplied and bless many in Jesus's name! *For all who asked about my podcast, yes I just started it! It's called On the Knife's Edge: Walking the Narrow Road with Jesus. It's on apple and spotify. Here are the links: podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sofia-nygaard podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/on-the-knifes-edge-walking-the-narrow-road-with-jesus/id1712185250

I'm 40 years old and Single ...I'm tired of waiting😢 but I Trust GOD ❤ that HE answers my PRAYER

My God that first opening part just hit me like a ton of bricks. I had this vision if you will where for the first time in my life, I saw God. He didn’t say a single thing, but he was just staring at me with a smile on his face. I was staring back wondering what he was trying to do or tell me. Eventually, he looked to his left, which caused me to look to my right, and there was nothing there. Then he looked down, which caused me to look down, and there was a compass on the floor with the needle pointing North. I looked up at him and he bent over and took the needle and moved it from North to East. I looked back East and didn’t see anything , when I looked back North, he was gone. This message is timely for me.

What he said about suicide and this generation. Almost did the same while waiting for a spouse. So much brokenheartedness. God promised a spouse and it took years. I got disheartened so much. I thank Him for answering the prayer.

I’ve been truthfully avoiding watching this video because most videos on godly waiting just make me so angry and I end up feeling less hopeful. Last night I was really struggling with doubt and I was trying my hardest to convince myself that Joseph experienced multiple disappointments and what I call “false starts” but God still manifested His promise in Joseph’s life. Just hearing the practical steps on how to wait well you and your son described really encouraged me to not faint or forget thanks for letting God use you.

This message is so timely. About a Week ago I took my exam and I failed. At first I ask God why. But upon hearing of this word, God really wanted to mold my character by delaying some of my dreams to recognize His sovereignty and greatness in my life . Thank you and God bless

Oh my, light bulb moment... Ouch! Fret=pride. Thank you Pappa John

My brother has a terminal cancer diagnosis. We pray constantly for his healing. God can come through. We had many words to confirm healing. Waiting on the Lord to fulfil his promise.

I’ve been delayed 24 years - stuck on an antipsychotic medication for Aspergers. My love for God is almost extinguished. I tried coming off a handful of times and the side effects were awful. I think many people are soon to be Joseph’s. They may not have suffered outwardly like Joseph, but inward struggle is worse. Really. A man’s spirit will sustain him in his infirmity - but a wounded spirit - “who can bear?” -proverbs Blessed are those who have had wounded spirits for 5-10+ years - and “yet still believe.”(John 20:29)

Remembering God's faithfulness releases confidence into the present.

Been waiting nearly 30 years for 1 promise, 19 years for another promise, almost 3 years for yet another. And yes, these are real promises from God and not my imagination.

Thank you for this sermon, I really needed it. I have been waiting over 25yrs. for my promised wife. God bless you and your family.

It's patience He provides. A good thing from the wise work of God, and the finished work of our Lord Jesus Christ.

In my experience worry comes not from believing that one is in control, but rather from the painful awareness that you are *not* in control. Of course, if we were in control of our own lives we'd have far more to worry about.

My exgirlfriend introduced me to John Bevere. I immediately got hooked. I have not been the same again and i love it.

*Together, we create a symphony of prayers, resonating with the universe's energy, manifesting our desires for love, health, and success. 🎶🙏💫 Like this comment if you believe in the harmony of prayer!*

I am so encouraged by this discussion. The Lord game me a promise in August 2011. To this day I’m still waiting for fulfilment. It’s been so hard, but my ultimate desire is to please Him

16:28 18:02 Amen it will be done in the Lords timing. 18:50 Don’t give up and don’t forget.

I am in a waiting season I know even if God won’t show up how I hope he’s gonna show up am still gonna chose to believe in him … and what I know I will come back and testify of his Goodness in my life 🙏🏻

I keep watching this video every night because I want God’s will to be done in my life

Obey now, understand later. Father God teach us how to be a Mary and not a Martha. It's been 6 years since God gave me a vision and ill be faithful because He is faithful! I trust Him to bring it to pass in due time but ill praise Him while I wait. Our God is an awesome Father that loves to give good gifts to His children but it doesn't come without a change in character. Continue to break me gently Father God for I'm independent because i depend on you for everything! I love you Lord! Y'all don't get caught up on what you don't have and learn to fix your eyes on Jesus, He is the joy of our strength. Rest in the arms of a loving Father. Pray without ceasing and pray for others. God bless you and your family ❤❤❤❤

Yes, remember what God told you. God keeps reminding me in dreams of what he promised me.. exactly when I feel doubtful again.

The part about Hannah being presented with an opportunity to settle and yet did not ? That got me ! Thanks so much for such a great message 💕

Dear God, I have been patient. Please, please let it be my time.

Thank you. I love God’s Word. “Be still in the presence of the Lord, and wait patiently for him to act. Don’t worry about evil people who prosper or fret about their wicked schemes. Stop being angry! Turn from your rage! Do not lose your temper- it only leads to harm. For the wicked will be destroyed, but those who trust in the Lord will possess the land.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭37‬:‭7‬-‭9‬ ‭NLT‬‬

This has been so encouraging, and has been food for soul, Last week, I was praying and almost crying to God over issues of delay and God let me to psalms 37:8 and my mind was blown. Watching and listening to you share the exact same scripture has really lifted my spirit, and I am grateful to God that I came across this channel.

You don’t understand how this episode truly blessed me and delivered me from my current situation. I’m so thankful God allowed me to come upon your channel. May God bless you in abundance!!!! ❤

A timely word, this teaching edified my spirit. God bless! Romans 10:17 “ So then faith comes by hearing the word of God”.

You seem to have such a great family, John. I think you must be a great father.

How do you know what God has promised you? It’s not always clear where God is leading us. The compass guarantees the direction, not the outcome. We have to be careful to be clear about that. Some of us have a clear vision and others are called to simply walk by faith without a particular goal or outcome. I’ve often hoped to be encouraged when I don’t have a specific word or see a particular vision for my future and have felt that continuing faithful in the small things and seeking to know God and His Son Jesus Christ is the highest priority when a specific word is lacking. So is it wise to say that it’s best not to assume we have all received a specific word from God perhaps? I’d love to talk more about the other side of this conversation when one doesn’t feel the hey have a specific word from God but has hopes and dreams in general. Thank you for your continued ministry to the church, Bevere Family! I have been blessed by many of your teachings and conversations!

I'm waiting on God for a job as I transition from the military. Today, I feel frustrated, uncomfortable, and friction. I had a play to get ahead so I wouldn't be in a tight jam financial. None of those plans has happened. I now feel like God is ignoring me. I now feel like I retired too soon. But I also feel like God told me to retire. I just want my dreams to come true.

For someone who has been battling severe anxiety and panic attacks for 6 months.. this came exactly on time. It’s very hard to keep having faith when you’re on delay. But today, I want to change my attitude even tho I’m scared I will never truly get better😔

I listen to John Bevere great teaching s

I have been waiting and really trusting god for a dream Job position in the Funeral Industry. I have tried my own way but I have to wait on gods timing I know god will full fill this promise to me

It takes only one encounter to fuel you for endurance and fulfilment of the purpose that God has created for your life. Faith is the only key to open all the doors of blessings God has freely given on the other side.

Encouraged. Thank you, Bevere family. I'm going through the waiting season and its been so 8 months and counting. Got a 3 month contract from a huge retail company with the hope that it would be renewed, but it wasn't. So the valley walk continues. It's such a battle as I'm a single parent to my son and it challenging. But, I'm trying, holding on, remembering, reading, meditating on HIs Word, and my faith is small and the voices come and the dark cloud thoughts come...but God has been faithful.

Thank you so much for this topic, it gave me hope to continue in my journey with how God is leading me and how to handle the opposition that comes against me from a carnal mind stand point.

Such good reminders! You said God tested Hannah to see what she would do, I believe God tested her so she would know what she would do. God already knows what we're going to do. Thank the Lord he guides us in the right direction!

I've been born again since I was 12 and now I'm 51. I read multiple books by John. It is amazing that such a simple truth has revolutionized my life. Thank you!

“We choose to allow our heart to be sick or we can remember the promises of God on us. Because God has made great promises on this generation” wow wow wow!

Thank you John and Arden. Truly blessed by the podcast. My takeaway from this: Do not fret, do not faint and do not forget.

We are quick to cry out when delay happens to our dreams. How about when God delays judgement - giving us a chance... still a good thing

You’re son is really good. I like his voice and sincerity. You did a wonderful job in raising him in the Lord. Blessings to you all. Big things are coming for him.

*God works with your character Thank you!*

I saw a vision in 2013, I am waiting on the Lord for that. Beautiful message. God bless you.

I waited 28 years for deliverance and answers and received them from God in His timing. Patience is key with the Lord. We love Christ, and what all His humble servants have done for the cause, and we continue to carry out good work, not because of our righteous ways, but because His righteousness lives as the the Holy Spirit of God within us.

I am so glad this podcast came out when it did! Which could only be a God thing. I am believing for my firstborn and have received a Word from the Lord that He will be conceived soon. And every though it’s only a couple of weeks before I can test and see. It can sometimes feel like years as the days go by. I love how you back up your points with multiple scriptures and Bible stories. This podcast has really hit Home for me. Thank you.

Thank you *TEST IT WITH PRAYER DAILY. AND IF IT IS STILL THERE DAYS LATER, THE IDEA WAS FROM GOD. THANK YOU!*

I am praying for Lisa and hope she gets well soon. John thank you for The Bait of Satan. My life has been changed from the inside out from the book. I've have anger and bitterness. My buddy Wesley recommended The Bait of Satan and I picked up a copy. I read it and God spoke to me. I was born with Cerebral Palsy and I had surgery called the Dorsal Rhizotomy and it was supposed to help me walk without anything but independent without the use of braces. The surgery was supposed to get rid of the tightness but it didn't work. It left me in a wheelchair for four years. I've heard myself in my spirit that "I forgive Dr. Moss. I love him." I wrote a book about my experiences and there's a part two of the book about my surgery.

"Person is proud when they fret or worry." Thanks for this message. It strikes to me the most.

For me it’s discerning whether I’m being led to wait or whether being led to not take that venture at all

Joseph didn’t forget God’s promises to him and doesn’t become bitter when other people have dreams. That’s so good. Thank you for adding another layer of understanding for me. ❤

That compass analogy is a good one. Like our Lord Jesus Christ said “ those born of spirit are moved by a wind they can’t see”.

This podcast is going to touch many lives!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥We thank God for giving you the wisdom to speak about topics that really bring so much enlightenment!🥺🔥

I will share about delay. My dreams and word from God that my disabled son will be healed, healthy and whole. We are talking about a full care, medical fragile, genetically mutated, set of physical and intellectual disabilities. I’ve currently held this promise like Joseph, like Sarah, for 18 years and counting. Mark my words he will be made whole. I’ve seen it in the spirit. He was made to be a sign and a wonder of the glory of God. Keep believing in the dreams and promises of God!!!

Things to not do when waiting (paraphrasing) - don’t fret or worry (worrying is prideful) 1 Peter chapter 5 cloth yourself in humility 17:18 -don’t faint , don’t give up Stay committed to the process (guard your heart )do not complain (cast out those negative thoughts) 18:52 Don’t forget , keep Gods promises 22:50

This conversation has changed my life ❤

I see now why my season in the wilderness the last 6 years of my suffering and trials were necessary along with the dreams I had recently from God. It all makes sense that growth was necessary. John, your explanation of Joseph and Daniel explains why God gave me the dreams telling me I would be married on day and why I kept remembering it even though I am 27 years old and see the delay in my life.

Wow!! I just sat and wrote down word for word on this teaching! God has spoken over me more than once. Thank you for the reminders of guarding my heart! To not complain!!!! Such a timely word❤️

I have experienced this delay in my life for 25 years! I can see it on the horizon! I have had to grown into my Father's plan for my life❤

*I' m Brazilian, and this video helped me a lot, I'm in this season and this video showed me exactly what to do. Thank you so much for sharing*

Sometimes your desires or dreams don't come at all ☹ 33 years later, still waiting...not exactly young anymore

There’s no delay , Gods plan is always on time only us are at fault never God

I have had this kind of delay and the Lord has shown me again and again, that my story is like Joesph’s, David’s, Esther, Deborah, Dinah...I’m a woman still waiting, been thrown in dungeons and pits, sold out by literal brothers and family, forgotten by church and yet still served God...still waiting for my husband and my own family...homeless, slandered...forgotten by brothers and sisters in Christ...but I know somehow God will prove Faithful...just I’m not sure what to do now when this has happened by brothers and sisters in Christ...who don’t actually care about me? I don’t know what to do about that.

I honestly don’t like to think of blessings from God, as just financial, but, nonetheless, God did bless us in that way. We struggled immensely in debt, with no hope in sight of it being turned around. Our farm had so many consecutive bad years, (about 25!) which caused such stress in our family; not to mention that during that time, our sowing to the wind was reaping the whirlwind. Our situation was such a ball of tangled yarn, that no one could unravel it! Oh, and the icing on the cake was that we were not born again, at that time, but regardless, we were looking to God alone for help. We knew it was much bigger than a human being could solve. Fast forward to the point where the miraculous did take place! A big natural gas find on our land was discovered!!! (He will do things you never would have thought of.😳) Anyway, leasing the land brought in more than we had ever hoped for, and we are still getting royalties today!!! The point is that we had to wait until everything was just right, in us, so God could pour out His blessing to us. Like farming, it had been a willingness to wait, during the planting and growing seasons, before harvest came. And God the Master Farmer, had been designing it all, through the heartache, pain and suffering, which, I’m sure, made us into the kind of people who could receive it graciously. And we thank Him for the things we had to go through; not to get the disposable money, but Him using those hard things, to conform us into the image of Christ. BTW, during these years, all of our family was drawn to Him, and born again! And that is another story for another day.

A delayed dream produces endurance in us.... James 1:2-3

Accidentally this video came up in my youtube homepage. Thank you for this reminder. I know God always has the perfect plan for me. His delay by design

John Bevere I’m asking with all my heart for prayer. Going through worst trial of my life. I really need to see the faithfulness of God

My greatest hope and something God has kept on my heart has been delayed for 30 years now. But how do you hold on to God’s promise, when He hasn’t actually promised it will even happen. I keep praying, but God has only ever been silent on it. I wish He would come out and say an absolute no, if its a no. My heart is beyond sick with this, but I will gladly wait another 30 years while praising Him everyday if I knew if would definitely happen some day.

Waiting is the most difficult in the christian life. Its is one the most sanctifying purpose that it hardest and process. Joseph in the OT testify this and Abraham.

There is so much people are missing out on not knowing the fullness of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Thank you gentlemen! A timely message. I didn’t listen right away, but the Lord put it in my heart to do so and thus, here I Am. And here I AM is too! Blessings to the Beveres and all you do for so many! 🙏❤️👑🙌

Hello Bevere Family ! I must say that every time I listen to your videos , I learn something new or I am taught something on a deeper level. Thank you and God bless you all for your commitment to being messengers for this time . To God be the glory for your ministry ! 🙌🏾

BRANDON. This is so beautiful. It is so pure and represents childlike faith and the simple desire we all share through our worship and praise: to put a smile on God’s face. This has blessed me more than you could ever know.

We are wonderfully and fearfully made! Never give up! God is always working. Be strong and carry on for He is with you. “You can’t beat the man who refuses to give up”--Babe Ruth

Wait I’m like 2 seconds in and the way he’s looking at his child is beautiful. Okay I’m done lol God bless y’all.

I just so tired of waiting. It has been 40 heartbreaking years and no end in sight. At this point, what’s the point? I barely have many healthy years left to enjoy what most experience when they are young and get for decades. It is so discouraging. I beg God for mercy and relief every day.

1 Peter o wow i needed to hear that i worry alot....i did not know it was a prideful sin......i have something to pray about amazing practical tools how to stop fretting.........

I have had a dream 24 years ago which I am still waiting to see the final part much of the dream was about me which has been fulfilled but the end is still yet to come ......... it is so close I sense it in my Spirit it feels excruciating but I am hopeful ☺️

What a blessing this has been!!!

How do you guard your heart? By refusing to complain. So good. Thank you Mr. Bevere 🙏

Thank you for this conversation. It was packed with such treasured nuggets from God's Word, I receive this Word - God is faithful, I will trust Him and stay my heart on Him continually until the fulfillment of every promise from Abba 🙏🏻

I needed to hear this 🙌

Great teaching! Chiefs kiss

Do not fret, do not faint & do not forget!!! Much needed❤️‍🩹

Its been 8 years since God showed me the Isaiah 41:10

PRAISE JESUS!!

This is just what I needed - to be encouraged and trust the Faithfulness of God and not try to make it come to pass myself, I've been waiting so long. I will not let Hope be deferred or the enemy steal what God has for me - Good plans for my future. Really you said so many things that I know but it a way that I could receive them this morning. God bless you and your son! Jean Thomforde Dueck - I remember you John, coming to my parents church :)

He shared about the good GOD he served when he hadn't seen God's faithfulness in his life.... according to those dreams

This was so good and once a again. Very much needed I please the Lord for you and your family

I will be listening to this more

First time watching, came across this. Very good and concise. God bless

Awesome and relevant conversation! Quite an encouragement to me in my season now.

This literary came right on time

Watching all the way from South Africa❤️God bless you all❤️🔥

Hey, I'm new to your channel. I found it in my recommendations. I'm glad I did! This is such a wonderful and inspirational video! Thank you for posting it! I love your channel. Please have your son come on more, or tell him to start his own podcast. Thank you!

sharing this to my sisters. I right now is waiting for Gods answer. thank you for reminding me that I need to cast all my worries unto him.
