11 Principles For Waiting Upon The Lord
11 Principles For Waiting Upon The Lord
Hello, welcome to another message. Today’s message is titled: “11 Principles for Waiting Upon the Lord.”
If you want the glory and presence of God to be with you, you need to master the art of waiting upon the Lord in prayer. Seeking God’s face means seeking His saving and manifest presence. The Bible says that if we ask, we will receive, and with God nothing is impossible.
Here are some principles we need to apply when seeking God’s face.
Number one: Go into His presence with thanksgiving.
The Bible instructs us to enter God’s presence with thanksgiving. We must be anxious for nothing, but with thanksgiving and joy present our petitions to God. Thanksgiving is a spiritual principle that should never be ignored.
Number two: Have faith.
Get rid of guilt and condemnation and approach God with confidence. Hebrews says:
“Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.”
Forget your past and trust in the blood of Jesus Christ. The Bible says there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. We must come before God with assurance and faith.
Number three: Have expectation.
Believe that God will reward your effort. Believe that He hears your prayers and is able to answer. Avoid double-mindedness and unbelief. Faith means being confident in what God has promised even before you see the result physically.
Number four: Hear from the Holy Spirit.
We cannot truly succeed spiritually without the Holy Spirit. He is our helper, teacher, comforter, and guide. We must allow Him to direct us in prayer and in life.
Every person’s situation is different, so we need the Holy Spirit to teach us how to pray and how to walk with God effectively.
Number five: Spend time in God’s presence.
Spending quality time with God is vital. Throughout scripture, we see believers waiting upon God for long periods in prayer and worship. The more time we spend with God sincerely, the more sensitive we become to His presence and direction.
God desires fellowship with His children.
Number six: Develop consistency in prayer.
Prayer requires discipline and consistency. Throughout the Bible, we see examples of believers praying during difficult hours and remaining steadfast in seeking God.
Paul the Apostle and Silas prayed and worshipped even at midnight, and God moved powerfully.
A strong prayer life deepens spiritual growth and strengthens our relationship with God.
Number seven: Keep away from sin.
We must reject every form of evil. Sin creates obstacles in our spiritual lives and weakens our fellowship with God. God desires purity, obedience, and sincerity from His people.
Number eight: Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal hidden weaknesses and areas that need growth.
Sometimes believers struggle spiritually because there are areas of ignorance, immaturity, or compromise they have not recognized yet. That is why we need humility and continual learning through the Word of God.
The Psalmist said:
“Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You.”
The more we study scripture and listen to the Holy Spirit, the more wisdom and understanding God gives us.
Number nine: Present your petitions to God.
The Bible says:
“Ask, and it shall be given unto you.”
We should bring our requests before God sincerely, joyfully, and thankfully. God cares about our needs, desires, struggles, and concerns.
Prayer is not only about speaking; it is also about relationship and communion with God.
Number ten: Follow God’s purpose for your life.
Walking outside God’s direction can create frustration and confusion. When we follow God’s will for our lives, there is peace, clarity, and spiritual growth.
Seek God concerning your purpose, your calling, your decisions, and your direction in life.
Number eleven: Read and meditate on the Bible.
Reading the Word of God is essential when waiting upon the Lord. The Word of God strengthens our faith, renews our minds, and draws us closer to Him.
The Word of God is spirit and life. The more you meditate on scripture, the more rooted and spiritually strong you become.
So this is the end of today’s message.
I pray that God gives you the grace, strength, and discipline to seek Him continually. May the Lord draw you closer to Himself and reveal His presence in your life.
May God answer your prayers according to His will.
May He strengthen your faith.
May He guide your steps and fill your heart with peace.
May the Lord bless you and keep you.
In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
Remain blessed.

Carry the Fire of God!
The gates of hell will not prevail against you.
This is God’s will for you.
Pray! Pray fervently with persistence and faith.
Wait upon the Lord to carry God’s fire.
Demons will flee in terror. No demon or witch can withstand the presence, glory, power, fire, or blood of God.
Pay the price to continually put on the fire of God through persistent prayer.
Revelation 3:18 says,
“I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see.”
Embrace spiritual discipline. To buy is to trade your spiritual laziness and worldly distractions for the spiritual discipline of constantly waiting upon the Lord to seek His face and power.
You will seek God and find Him when you seek Him with all your heart.
God promised that you will find Him. You will experience His visitation, mercy, and fire.
He said,
Jeremiah 29:12–14 NKJV
“Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you, says the LORD, and I will bring you back from your captivity.”
God wants you to experience the fullness of life.
He wants you to carry His presence and fire in the highest degree and dimension here on earth.
He wants you to be a king and prince on earth. When you manifest as a son of God, carrying His fire and power, you will do exploits for Him. The gates of hell will not prevail against you. Rather, you will prevail against the gates of hell and be a terror to demons and the kingdom of darkness.
Demons screamed in terror and ran away from Jesus because Jesus was filled and surrounded by the presence, fire, and power of God.
Stop playing. Take your rightful place today. Carry God’s fire and power, and rule over demons and witches.
May God Himself teach your hands to fight and make war, in Jesus name, amen.

May God bless you with godly destiny relationships, in Jesus name, amen.
DO THEY LOVE YOU—OR DO THEY JUST NEED YOU?
Does someone truly love you if they are with you because they depend on you and need you?
Or do they simply love what you provide?
Those are two very different questions.
How do you know when someone truly loves you—and when you are simply needed, useful, or convenient?
The answer is deeper than most people think.
Love chooses. Dependency needs.
Love values the person. Dependency values the benefit.
Biblical love seeks the good of the other person.
Jesus loved people who could give Him nothing.
Loyalty reveals genuine love.
Mutual dependence is healthy. Codependence is not.
How do you recognize genuine love?

Develop a Deeper Passion for God’s Presence
May God fill you with a deeper passion for His presence.
May the Holy Spirit give you an unquenchable hunger for God.
May God make you a yielded vessel for His glory.
May God fill your cup until it overflows with His presence and power, in Jesus name.
The Holy Spirit wants passion. He wants love. We were created by love and for love. Your heart was created to be filled with the love of God. God’s presence and fire is His love.
God is looking for passionate believers whose greatest pursuit is His presence. God is looking for fervent, passionate lovers of God like Jesus and David.
Become a yielded vessel. Become a man or woman after God’s heart.
Nothing satisfies the human heart like the presence of God. Only the presence of God can make you truly happy and be filled with all the fruits of the Holy Spirit. You can’t live without God and His presence. You cannot be truly happy and fruitful without the presence and fire of God.
God delights in filling hungry hearts with His glory and presence. He wants hunger and passion.
May your heart continually burn with love for Jesus, and may God’s presence become your greatest delight all the days of your life. #prayers

Stop asking, “Do I love them?” Start asking, “Are they God’s perfect will for my life?”
Samson loved Delilah, but Delilah was not God’s perfect will for Samson.
Emotions can be very deceptive, and emotions can die, but a heart dedicated to God’s will sticks by you like that friend that sticks closer than a brother and that brother that is born for adversity.
Find out from the Holy Spirit if they are part of God’s plan and purpose for your life. Be purpose driven. Jesus and Paul were purpose driven.
When you become passionate about your destiny and purpose and making sure you are surrounded by your destiny partners like Jonathan, the apostles, and Joseph the husband of Mary, your relationships become very sweet. They glorify the Lord and please the Holy Spirit.
May God visit you mightily and plant your God ordained destiny relationships and spouses into your life, in Jesus name, amen.
