How to Wait Upon the Lord For Your BreakthroughLee Mcfarland
Good things come to those who wait on the Lord! Isaiah 40, verse 31 says, “But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.” Isaiah 40:31. The Bible tells us there is something about “waiting on the Lord” that does not sap you of energy, it is actually life-giving and renewing! God wants us to start doing some “wait training.” Psalm 40, verse 1 and 2 says… “I waited patiently for the Lord; and He inclined to me, and heard my cry. He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, out of miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my steps.” [Psalm 40:1-2] What you just read – Psalm 40 - impacted the iconic rock group, U2, and their lead singer, Bono so much, he wrote a song that uses the words from Psalm 40, and song is called, “40”. It was a hit in Germany, but not released in the USA. If you’ve been to a U2 concert, many times it's the last song they play in the concert as they all walk off stage, one by one, until all that’s left is the drummer and the crowd singing the chorus. It is a very moving experience. The word “inclined” reminds me of that famous line in Pirates of the Carribean – the Curse of the Black Pearl – where Barbosa says: "I'm disinclined to acquiesce to your request…. Means 'no'". So, here in Psalm 40, it says, “HE INCLINED!” That means… YES! “I waited patiently for the Lord, and He inclined – he said yes to me – God wasn’t disinclined to acquiesce to my request - he was inclined to acquiesce to my request - God heard my cry! He brought me up out of a horrible pit. Is there anybody out there - besides me today - who could use being brought up out of a horrible pit? If you wait on the Lord, he is INCLINED to say YES to your RESCUE! That's what the slide presentation is all about.

A collection of images relating to scripture for Lectionary Year A, Second Sunday in Epiphany. John 1: 29-42, Isaiah 49:1-7, Psalm 40 and 1 Corinthians 1:1-9. Scriptures include John the Baptist engagement with Jesus and the first disciples following the baptism of Jesus. The theme for the day is what the image of Jesus as Lamb of God means.
Rise…. What a great word It is a powerful word to be sure, but it is much much more, it is a call, and a command, a hope and sometimes heart break a response and a right reaction it’s a journey and a destination, a needed call for many of us to Rise.
Pain always has a purpose in a child of God's life. The devil has a purpose--to weaken our faith. God has a purpose--to cause us to grow so He can promote us on earth and in heaven.
'And Jacob was left alone, and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day. And when he saw that he prevailed not against him he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him. And he said, let me go, for the day breaketh, And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.' Gen. 32: 24 - 26

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
