Don't Jump Ship!

Don’t jump ship, you can drown. I just wanted to share a few brief words with you regarding waiting on God’s timing and not being anxious but resting in what God told you. As the bible says in Philippians 4:7” and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” Know that you can’t go off your own understanding when it comes to the things of God, you have to go off the Word, period! As the bible says in Philippians 4:6, “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;” Understand that anxiousness and worry brings fear and doubt. You have to be rooted in the truth that God didn’t save you to leave you. Know that when God’s ready to reveal the prepared way that you’ve been waiting for, you’ll be ready for it. Trust God enough to know that he knows the time and season to bring you to that next phase. It’s dangerous moving outside of God’s timing. When you move outside of God’s timing you can lose your covering. You can literally go through unnecessary mess and heartaches by moving outside of God’s timing. You have to understand that within God’s timing is exactly what you need for that next phase. But if you move out of God’s timing provision may not be made. Psalm 23:1 Says, “The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want”, that means you will not want when God’s your shepherd, not yourself. Just as Paul was in the ship and they hit a bad storm, the Angel of God told him that no one will die if they stayed in the ship (Acts 27). You have to stay in the ship of preparation to get where God want you to go next. You have to be like Paul with the mindset that if God said stay here I’ll be here and make it to the other side. Not only did Paul know he was going to make it safe through the storm but he knew he wasn’t going to die because he had destiny to reach on the other side. You have to get to a place where you know that God placed something in you that has to come out, so you refuse to give up because you have destiny to fulfill, purpose to fulfill. You have to get to a place where you know without a shadow of doubt that regardless of how bad the storm seems your God is bigger than the storm. You have to know that it’s not about the storm but about you believing God regardless of what you see. Don’t jump before it’s time and miss your promise land. Don’t miss God’s timing. What you’ve been waiting on could be released tomorrow, just hold on and know that God is faithful. If God said it, He’s going to fulfill it! Stay in the Ship, rest in what God already told you!! Stay in the race. -Eri
