Still Waiting On God? His Delay by Design

What if God is using the delays in your life for a greater purpose?
Like the trials faced by Joseph, David, and Daniel, delays will refine the purity of your desires, and help you to lean into God's promises as the source of your hope.These delays, as challenging as they may seem, play a crucial role in building the character necessary to fulfill God's promises.
In this episode of the Conversations podcast, join John and guest Arden Bevere as they discuss practical insights on navigating the waiting season, guarding your heart against discouragement and despair, and anchoring yourself in the promises of God.
Tune in to be equipped to lean into God's unwavering promises and to learn how to embrace God's work in your life as you wait for them to come to pass!

    I've been praying to ve closer to God and Jesus. I had a hard life as a child, and struggled with why. It made me angry and I almost destroyed myself. I've always knew I was different than those I was around. I knew pain, fear, and evil. I lost my innocence very early. My grandma was who briefly introduced me to God. Which I was young. I tried to unalive myself many times bc I wanted to escape the situation I was going through. I know that the only reason i am here is bc of God. I've always had an extreme level of empathy for others. Even very early in life. I pray a lot, but I still feel not enough. Idk if I do it right. I pray in my head, and talk to God and Jesus like they are there with me. I have been asking to be closer to my God my Father. I don't feel close enough. I also been wondering how to know if God is talking to me, and what is his purpose for me? I try to figure out my purpose in life. I've had a feeling what it is but then it scares me bc idk if I'm able to do what I feel he may want me to do. I know I wouldn't be who I am today if not for all the bad that happened to me. So I feel like that all that happened bc God needed me to be who I was always meant to be. I couldn't imagine not caring deeply for humanity. I feel like I was meant to see this bc I've been discouraged.

    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 can't imagine how hard it is to see a child suffer, I pray for healing for your son & endurance as well as peace for your entire family. I do understand, however, how hard it is to endure delays while unhealthy. I have had continued health issues over the years, some resolve only for a new one to pop up, & I'm in a particularly difficult season of physical suffering right now. May we both continue to run the race, & keep our thoughts full of God's word & truth, not believing the discouraging lies of the enemy that pull us into despair.

    Praying for you both 🙏🏾 As I reflect on my own health/grief, I am reminded of The Chosen. When little Matthew asks Jesus, “Why haven’t you healed me?” And Jesus replies, “That fact that you still serve me in spite of your ailment will be more of a testimony. How much does God trust YOU to allow you to endure this suffering & you still give Him Glory!” 13 years after losing my oldest child, this has brought me healing. I am so trusted by God and that is enough for me.

    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.

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.

    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.

    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)

    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!

    Also, please don't let their words about anxiety and fear comes from pride. They are incorrect on this and being callous, not thinking that it's the devil bringing affliction to people. Anxiety disorders are illness. They are a high adrenaline, physical state that is a torment. It comes from trauma and illness. Do not let any additional burden be put on you, like guilt, which is so often a close cousin of this w/ depression.

Please do what Job did and intercede for those brothers and sisters in Christ. After Jobs friends came and slandered him for all he had been through, God told them to go and ask Job to pray for them and when he did, they were forgiven and then God proceeded to bless Job. Can you see the similarity? You're going to have a breakthrough soon. Congratulations! 🎉👏🍾🥂🥳🥳

    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.

    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 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.

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!!!

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.

    Hi, this is nicole from BOLIVIA. This is the first time i listen to you guys and i was blessed and confronted (which is good) i listened first to the podcast about how do we limit GOD by our lack of faith. I felt so related to both of your podcasts. My marriage is broken. And God has told me to pray for my husband and it’s been so hard… i admit that i have had a hard time obeying God lately. I prayed when we just got separated but then, it became very hard to pray. Specially after i started to feel better after the separation. 2 years passed and I started to have a hard time believing that God was going to do something and so praying about it got harder and harder… i feel like i first have to believe again but i don’t know how to believe again or something to like have the burden urning in my heart so that i can actually pray. And so many people also have said, you deserve better … it made it harder. And there are days that I say to God, i want pray and obey but it just doesn’t cOme out and yes, i also keep having control on everything 🙈🙈🙈🙈

    Hey Sis! God bless you. You're doing well. You can have your husband back. Don't listen to the people saying you deserve better. You do but the better is the repented and sanctified version of your husband and of yourself. I want you to know that the journey to restoration is different for everyone but God is the same and reliable. I totally understand your struggle. Feeling better after the separation is a good sign that you are healing. Maybe you were used to feeling so criticized and minimized in your marriage that even though you wanted the marriage it was not healthy for you. I would advise you focus on feeling better. Sit down and Discover the reasons why the relationship was difficult and write them down. Which ones were your issues and which ones were his? Next submit those problems to the holy spirit and ask him to guide you to repentance and sanctification. It's not easy to believe God when we don't read his word or listen to other's testimonies. Please read the word of God daily. Take a book of the bible, read, pray and praise God. Gradually you'll begin to build faith. "Faith comes by hearing and hearing the word of God". You can just download the kjv bible app and listen to the word. As you start to believe God it'll be easier to release control to him. It's a gradual process so don't feel bad. Think of it like a mountain, the higher you go the colder it becomes; so also the more you read the word and believe God the more you can trust him and release control to him. The bible says that unto those that believed in Jesus, God has given them the power to become sons of God. What this means is that you'll have power/capacity/ability to wait for God to fulfill his promise and purpose instead of you doing it. The devil may tempt you to do the restoration yourself like he tempted Jesus to turn stones into bread (if you are the son of God) but you have power to overcome him when you believe In Jesus. Finally, have you heard of "hope at last"? It is a website for women who are believing God for marriage restoration and they have hundreds of testimonies there and on KZread as well. I'm sure you'll be blessed by their ministry. You'll make it Sis! Don't give up! God loves you, He understands what you're going through, He has a solution for you, and He will bring it to pass at the appointed time. Till then just keep washing yourself in the water of the word. God bless you!❤😘

    First and foremost pray to Jesus to give you faith and reveal what’s in your heart and your husband’s making you despair and darkening it with evil. Pray to Jesus to heal your heart, soul, and spirit through him and the Eucharist. It make feel like a dry chore and drag, but that it is the laziness of the flesh and pride of the heart Satan put into you telling you “you don’t need God so don’t pray.” Satan is trying to break you, your husband, and your marriage down into nothing. Remember, Satan was so envious of the first marriage with God, Adam, and Eve that he sought to destroy it. Those who tell you “you can do better” ignore those evil spirits since they just want to see you divorce. Those who say “you need to do X YZ without including God” seek their own glory and fame out of selfishness. Those who tell you “pray to God and remind yourself of the vows you and your husband made to be committed and faithful to each other thinking upon the Providence of God and his faithfulness to his promises including your marriage” are worth listening to. Pray to God to show you and your husband how to become better bearers of His image both individually and through your marriage. Ask God to strengthen your marriage and show you how to become a better helpmate to your husband and intercede for your husband that he repents and loves you and God as he ought to. Pray for your husband out of your love for him and God that Gcd may soften both your hearts and lead you both back together. This is how you still show your love for your marriage, husband, and God as it comes from a place of selflessness. I know not the exact struggles you went through, but my guess is that it was a case of infidelity and conflict over the state of the relationship. Forgive yourself and your husband as Jesus calls us to do and pray that your husband comes to forgive himself and seek it from you too.

    The title of the message and this dialogue really blessed me today. I needed this encouragement right now. While you were speaking I also realized from the story of David and Joseph that God often gives us a glimpse or a taste of our dreams and we think that we have arrived, it all makes sense now. But then comes the wilderness season to test what's really in our hearts, to shift our focus onto the Lord, and to prepare us with a Christ-like character so that we can remain on the mountaintop when we actually arrive. Delay by Design 🔥🔥 Side note: I couldn't help but notice how affectionately John was looking at Arden while Arden was sharing. The pride and love in his eyes for Arden really melted my heart.

    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.
