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.

Receive fire and power for complete protection, in Jesus name, amen.
May God’s great power strengthen you to cut off every association that serves as a point of contact with the gates of hell, in Jesus name.
May God reveal to you the secrets of His Word and teach you how to walk continually in His divine protection and power, in Jesus name.
Win Satan by getting rid of points of contact with the gates of hell.
Point of contact is the big secret that Satan has hidden from believers.
Communication, contact, and association are the gateways that demonic people and witches use to get access to believers.
Talking, chatting and having phone calls with demonic people are demonic gateways and portals. Watching demonic people and celebrities and looking at pictures of demonic celebrities are also demonic gateways and portals.
Those celebrities know it. That is the way they obtain energy and power. That is why they love to be scantily clothed.
Watching demonic people, talking, chatting, and having unequally yoked friendships with demonic people is like falling into a pit and walking into the gates of hell.
Second Corinthians 6 verse 14 says, do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what communion has light with darkness?
If you are hungry for complete deliverance and power, cut off the demonic gates, links, points of contact and doors.
No contact is your biblical instruction and medicine.
Be watchful, be vigilant, be full of God's Word, and hear the voice and direction of the Holy Spirit.
If you do not understand and know God's secrets and deliverance secrets, you will give Satan the upper hand and space.
The Word of God reveals God's secrets.
Second Corinthians 2 verse 11 says, lest Satan should take advantage of us; for we are not ignorant of his devices.
God has given you complete redemption and deliverance. But you can unconsciously and ignorantly give away parts of the liberty and freedom that Christ purchased for you with His blood.
Galatians 5 verse 1 says, stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free.
Cling to your freedom and liberty.
You are not helpless. You have control. You have the authority.
Luke 10 verse 19 says that Jesus gave His disciples authority over all the power of the enemy.
But if you do not know how to apply that authority and control, you will be controlled by Satan and his witches and demons.
Satan, demons, and witches are not the problem. Your inability to know and apply God's secrets and the fullness of God's Word is the problem. Deception is the problem.
Deception and lies are their highest weapon.
To resist the devil is to reject his lies, tricks and deception.
May God show you His secrets.
May the Holy Spirit fill you with light and lead you into all the truth that sets you completely free, in Jesus name, amen.
May God visit you mightily and crown you with His deliverance and power.
There is no sickness, affliction or spell that the Holy Ghost fire and the blood of Jesus cannot destroy.
But the question is: are you willing to pay the price and pray with fervent, stubborn, persistent, fierce faith?
Master how to beg God for grace, ability, mercy and power. Don't be proud.
If you don't ask for the power of God, it means that you are proud and self-dependent. You have not learned the lesson that your flesh cannot save you.
Recognizing your need for the Holy Spirit is humility.
Hebrews 4 verse 16 says, come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
Matthew 15 verse 22 says that a Canaanite woman came crying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David. My daughter is severely oppressed by a demon.
And the woman begged Jesus for the children's crumbs. And Jesus rewarded her faith. Nothing could discourage her from obtaining deliverance for her child.
James 5 verse 16 says that the prayer of a righteous man is very powerful and effective.
Pray. Pray!
Fill your heart with the fullness of the word of God, faith and the complete armour of God. And pray like you have never prayed before.
Believe in the goodness, mercy, and love of God and pray fervently without giving up, and you will experience mercy from the throne of grace.
Be very very stubborn about meditating on the word of God, prayer and seeking God's presence. That is your only protection and medicine for complete deliverance every day.
Stop using your prayer time to play and watch nonsense on social media. Stop watching immoral things that open demonic gateways and pollute your spirit.
Be very serious about spiritual power. Power is taken by force, not by carelessness, irresponsibility, recklessness and laziness.
Matthew 11 verse 12 says, the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.
Spiritual power is not for lazy people.
Cry out to God from the bottom of your heart.
Cry out to God persistently day and night like the persistent widow, and don't give up.
Luke 18 verse 7 says, shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him?
Cry for the highest level of God's power and protection. Cry to God for His fire. You need fire. You were born for fire and power, not demonic oppression.
May God be a wall of fire all around you to cleanse you, fill you, surround you, and deliver you.
May great grace be upon you, in Jesus name.
Crave the fire and presence of God with all your heart. Crave spiritual gifts.
It is the fullness of the presence of God in and around you that protects you and crushes every sickness, curse and all your enemies.
The Holy Spirit constantly tells me that He wants passion-passion for His presence. You must be hungry for the power and grace of God in order to enjoy it.
Passion, thirst, hunger, need and desire are mandatory for attracting God's presence and glory.
If you do not ask, you will not receive.
The biggest mistake believers make is to depend on the flesh.
If you notice that you keep praying but never ask for the fullness of the presence of God or the full baptism of the Holy Spirit, you are praying amiss.
You are praying backwards. You are depending on your flesh. You are fighting with your flesh.
Your flesh cannot win a spiritual battle.
Romans 8 verse 8 says that those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
John 6 verse 63 says, it is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing.
Of yourself you can do nothing. Man's power is of no use at all.
Sicknesses and demons are only afraid of the fire and presence of God.
If you carry God’s fire, demons will be tormented by the fire of God that you are carrying, and they will flee.
Jesus is the presence and power of God. Jesus is all you need.
Moses knew what he was saying when he said in Exodus 33 verse 15, if Your presence does not go with us, we will not leave this place.
He understood his absolute need and dependence on God. Numbers 12 verse 3 records that Moses was the humblest man on earth in his days.
Jesus said in Matthew 11 verse 29, learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart.
Luke 5 verse 16 says that Jesus often withdrew into the wilderness and prayed.
Jesus constantly went to lonely places at intervals during the day to renew the presence and fire of God. That was the secret to His success.
He knew how to walk in the Spirit and with the Holy Spirit. He knew how to hear the voice of the Holy Spirit and follow Him.
It is the truth you know that sets you free.
Hosea 4 verse 6 says, my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.
If you ignore the Holy Spirit and keep fighting spiritual battles with your flesh, you will be very weak spiritually, because you lack spiritual food.
The presence of God is the spiritual food you need. The word of God is the spiritual food for your mind and soul.
It is the word of God that convicts and convinces you to seek the presence of God at intervals every day.
You must be filled and overflowing with the Word of God before you can be filled and overflowing with the glory, fire, and presence of God.
The ultimate quest is the presence and fire of God. The presence of God is what gives you unlimited results and great victory.
Fight! Pay the price!
Pray aggressively and persistently, because it is the spiritually violent and aggressive that experience the presence of God by force.
Let absolute desire and need for the presence of God take over your mind. This is how to walk in the reality of the fullness of truth that sets you free.
Jesus died so that you can constantly taste and enjoy the fullness, power, fire and presence of God.
Jesus has given you the keys to the presence of God.
Do not waste the grace of God by depending on your own flesh to crush demons and evil. Only the presence, power and fire of God can crush evil.
Ask. Ask for the fire of God.
James 4 verse 2 says, you do not have because you do not ask.
Constantly ask for the full baptism of the Holy Spirit and renew the presence of God daily.
If you do not ask, you will not receive.
May the fire of God fill you, surround you, and consume the roots of your problems.
May God's presence come upon you and transform you from glory to glory into the highest dimensions of His power and glory, in Jesus name, amen.
May the blood of Jesus crush every ancestral idol swearing curses into your life, in Jesus name, amen.
