Why Does It Take So Long?

Why Does It Take So Long?

You have waited for Me to answer your desires, you have stood in faith, and you have prayed without ceasing. Yet the answer has not come yet. And now you are in doubt and wonder if I have heard your cries, or if I care about you.

My child I have seen your heart and I have heard your voice. And indeed I have been working on your behalf. But what you have desired of Me requires the co-operation of others. For whatever I do in this earth, I do by the agency of man, and I use what I have already created.

Therefore the answer that you seek involves many things that need to be brought into place. And the angels have been at work setting this up for you. For from the first day that you exercised your faith to believe for this, things have been happening in the spiritual realm to bring about your desires.

And much has already been accomplished that you do not know about. But there is yet more to be accomplished before you see the full manifestation of what you desire. Therefore do not become discouraged when you do not see the answer in the time span that you expected.

Know that as you continue to stand in faith, and continue to speak forth My Word into the earth, the process will continue and accelerate until everything is in place. But if you cease your faith, and cease to trust Me in this, then you slow the process down.

There are also those who have not responded to My call to carry out what is needed for you. Therefore I have had to set them aside and look further afield. For I always allow those closest to you to be a blessing first.

When they respond, I bless both you and them together. They are blessed because they obeyed My voice, and you are blessed because of their response to My voice. Thus I bring blessing not only to you, but also to those associated with you.

So continue to believe, and continue to take your stand in faith. For sooner than you realize, the full manifestation will appear. Soon the balance will swing in your favor, and you will experience all that you have hoped for says the Lord.
