In this episode, we get to talk about understanding timing and how important it is for our vision. We must learn how to be in the waiting season and trust in God’s timing. You can’t avoid the waiting season, it’s important to be proactive while you’re in the waiting season and prepare your mental state and your spiritual mindset. The Lord wants to reveal the vision for your life to you and is always working in the background we just need to trust and allow God to lead us.

+ During the waiting time is where we develop ourselves.

+ When we learn to trust God’s timing we are more prepared and get to rely on God’s guidance.

+ Timing is a form of perspective.

+ God is working in the background while you’re in the waiting season.

+ We have to learn how to move and work in God’s timing.

+ Even when we move out of God’s timing and will He allows us to learn from our own seasons and come back to the beginning with Him.

+ Our perspective is our reality and what we choose to see and believe.

+ Before we can walk on the water we have to keep our eyes on Jesus and trust Him and have faith in Him and His plan.

+ God knows our heart and He loves us so much that He allows us to learn from doing things ahead of Him.

+ When you get ahead of God you can become your own God and try to do God’s job when you were never meant to do it on your own.

In this episode, we interview a very special guest who has the gift of prayer and prophecy and is a pastor, leader, teacher, author, and mentor. We’re excited to have Darla Lassiter on our podcast to share about these specific gifts and how to activate and develop them.  We are going to talk about what the word of God teaches about them.

+ Have you spent time in prayer today?

+ Prayer is the foundation for every believer.

+ Prayer starts with the confession of our heart and having a conversation with the Lord.

+ It’s about the quality of prayer and the quantity of time.

+ Gift of speaking in tongues is a gift that the Lord gives you.

+ Prayer is when we spend time with the Lord and communicate with him.

+ You can study scripture and verses on prayer.

+ Prayer is birthed from our personal relationship with the Lord.

+ Its the way that we pray out the perfect will of God and the enemy can’t understand it.

+ The baptism of the Holy Spirit is evidence of the Holy Spirit.

+ The gift of prophecy is when you have a specific work from the Lord for someone.

+ The office of the prophet is different from the gift of prophecy.

+ All of our gifts should be filtered from the love of God and in humility.

+ The gifts come on us as God wills them and not just when we desire them.

+ Prophetic word is always uplifting and encouraging it should never be used for correction.

+ The prophetic word should confirm what God has already spoken to you.

+ It goes back to our prayer life and to make sure that it is aligned with what the Lord has already put in your heart.

+  If we are in a healthy place in our prayer life we will have the discernment to be able identify if it is from the Lord.
