Over the last weeks doing the Bait of Satan - it has struck me (again!) how Gods promises do come about - but so often we can give up on them because nothing seems to happen - we have no sign that things are even moving in the direction of what we felt was a sure promise!
Joseph and his dreams and David being annointed King are two that took many years of great hardship to come about.
Look - even Mary was wondering when Jesus was going to get started? and that was after how many years of promises of HIS coming!
I think of Corrie ten Boom just STARTING her time hiding Jews at 53 I think? Look what a ministry that led to!
I say this as an encouragement for you (and me) if you have had any dreams and visions or other promises from God. Relax. Don't try to bring it all about by yourself. Just Stay Faithful. He is, and He will bring about everything in His time!

Not in our own strength but walking in HIS spirit and wearing HIS armour ..... then truly ALL things are possible :)
