UNDERSTANDING GOD’S NOW TIME VS DELAY
6/10/22 UNDERSTANDING GOD’S NOW TIME VS DELAY
I heard the Lord say, The timing is now. I dreamed that I met Anna for group therapy on a Tuesday night. I told her she was a walking clock shop as she had all these alarm clocks that went off at the same time.
Ecclesiastes 3:2-8 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up [that which is] planted; 3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; 4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; 5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; 6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; 7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; 8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
The fact that there were a pile of clocks all going off at the same time was really quickened to me. I even saw grandfather clocks chiming, which represents generations. Even the old time promises and generations are saying NOW IS THE TIME.
The fact it was group therapy, I think it has to do with the Lord taking notice of the wounds of delay that we have suffered. Many people are afraid to hope; it hurts too much.
ANNA’S GIFT TO TELL TIME
One of my most favorite prophetic moments with Anna was on Christmas day, 2004. As a backdrop, the name Sandra comes from the word Alexandra and in the Greek that number is 222. So I have a drawing to #222 and the many times the Lord has spoken to me through it personally. One of His promises to me was that when I see the #222 it means that He is saying YES to me regarding a promise, or what I was thinking, asking etc.
12/25/04: We opened our gifts that morning, and as I held the little box that Anna gave me, it was a beautiful bracelet watch. As I opened the lid, she immediately said, “And the Word of the Lord is, NOW IS THE TIME.” It struck me so strongly that I looked at the time on the watch. I was surprised to see that the minute hand was moving and the watch was working. I looked closer and the clock said 2:22. WOW.
As I remembered my name and the #222 and the Lord granting me my wishes when I saw the number, I realized the incredible timing this took to plan a meal for 12, open gifts and open the watch at that exact moment with the second hand ticking. It was literally a 60 second window of time set on that watch, to have opened it and looked at the time and have her declare, “NOW IS THE TIME!” WOW.
Here is the W2P I wrote for a post that included Anna’s watch gift:
WORD TO PONDER NOW IS THE TIME TO WATCH WITH JOY 12/04/15
Dear one My time is always on NOW TIME. The past is gone and the future is not yet. Your time is NOW to “watch” and pray. I do not want you caught in between the worlds of past pain and future promises. I want you to live now in the fullness of My joy. Put away blue faces and sad hearts. Delete them from your speech, countenance and soul. My kingdom is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. I want your life settled in Me and full of the Holy Spirit.
You have gone through your fires and now coming into a new watch. Stay alert and in prayer because I have some golden glorious times set apart just for you!
Romans 14:17 For the kingdom of God is not food and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.

6/13/22 TIMING: HOPE DEFERRED MAKES THE HEART SICK
I have been praying the last few days against hopelessness. It has come in waves and I felt this was a spiritual attack. Tonight it was especially bad and after prayer and taking authority, I heard the following which helped me understand what the hopelessness was about.
Hope deferred makes a heart sick.
Proverbs 13:12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick: but when the desire is fulfilled, it is a tree of life.
UNDERSTANDING THE DELAY
Since the 1980’s The TIMING of His Words and promises has been put off due to our waiting for 3 generations. I remember when Bob Jones said the first crop’s promises would be replanted into the ground for a greater harvest. Then that 2nd crop would be planted into the group for another harvest of evangelists. And now we are waiting for the teenagers of this generation who are the evangelists that will bring in the harvest. We will all come into our promises together.
OVERCOMING DEFERRED HOPE 7/11/17
Dear hearts, I am the God of NOW. Even My name is I AM. Yes I was, yes I will be, but I am always NOW, I am there for you NOW. I have longed to give you understanding and wisdom to know Me and what I AM doing in the earth. Every time I give you understanding, it draws you closer to Me and it comforts us both.
Always remember that in My Presence is the fullness of joy. It is My Presence in this moment, not a promise in the future where I want you to walk. Continue to ask Me what I AM doing now in that moment, and seek to partner with Me regarding such. That is the true joy of fellowship and intimacy. It is where you belong, not wishing for Me to come in the future, but enjoying Me in the NOW. The more you spend time with Me in the now, the more you will find the true secret of a prosperous soul.
What is your desire dear one? Am I not the desire of all nations? Our deepest joy is in every now moment in which we commune.
Pr 13:12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick: but when the desire is fulfilled, it is a tree of life.
Hag 2:7-9 And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, says the LORD of hosts. 8 The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, says the LORD of hosts. 9 The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, says the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, says the LORD of hosts.
PRAYER: Lord we submit to You and Your timing for Your purposes are perfect. We truly have suffered disappointment and even worse in so many areas Lord. We know You will make it all up to us and You have promised we shall be satisfied. We believe You simply because we totally embrace and trust You alone are our GOOD GOD and You allow nothing in our lives except for Your good purposes and plans for us. We turn our hearts towards You, Who is the God of all Harvest and lay down all disappointment, hopeless and pain as we submit to Your perfect timing. We ask for Your greater grace to wait with contentment in occupying until Your promises come to pass in Jesus name.
CONFIRMATION: After writing the above prayer I went to Facebook and someone had posted this!
