There is a coming wave of blessing over the Lord's people. The world will begin to see the difference between the wicked and the righteous in the days to come. It's time for the bride to shine.

(Malachi 3:17–18 NKJV)  "They shall be Mine," says the LORD of hosts, "On the day that I make them My jewels. And I will spare them as a man spares his own son who serves him." Then you shall again discern between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves God and one who does not serve Him.

The fool has said in his heart there is no god, but every knee shall bow, and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord (Psalm 14:1, Philippians 2:7). We appear very similar, but make no mistake about it; the Lord can tell the difference between who is His and who is not. We are simply growing together until Jesus Christ returns.

(Matthew 13:24–30 NKJV)  Another parable He put forth to them, saying: "The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field; but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way. But when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tares also appeared. So the servants of the owner came and said to him, 'Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?'

He said to them, 'An enemy has done this.' The servants said to him, 'Do you want us then to go and gather them up?' But he said, 'No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, "First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn." ' "

We have been growing together and outwardly look very similar, but the reapers can tell the difference. On the day they show up, it will be too late to change. Meaning to do something for years merely means you haven't done it yet. When the end comes, it won't be the thought that counts.

A wave of goodness, a wave of blessing over the Lord's people, is coming. This is the time to stretch your faith and try something new. Only believe, and expect good things to happen. Confess it with your mouth: "The Lord is my helper, my strength, my shield. I know the Lord will take care of me!" It's so powerful when you have a need and the Lord meets it. It builds the faith within you. Even adversity can be a blessing, for you can see the Lord move in power in your life.

(Psalm 34:19 NKJV)  Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the LORD delivers him out of them all.

The church has been through a pruning season, but new growth is coming. Will you delight yourself in the Lord and receive the desire of your heart? (Psalm 37:4). Take courage. The Lord is still on the throne, and he is large and in charge. You are not alone when He is in your corner.

(Psalm 1:1–3 NKJV)  Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; But his delight is in the law of the LORD, And in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper.

There is a wonderful plane of existence where you get lost in the goodness of God. The more you tell people what God has done for you, the more He does. The words you speak begin to prophesy your very future. Say nothing negative, and watch the positive begin to flow.

(Malachi 4:2 NKJV)  But to you who fear My name The Sun of Righteousness shall arise With healing in His wings; And you shall go out And grow fat like stall-fed calves.

When Jairus pleaded with Jesus to come and heal his daughter, some people brought them word that she was already dead. Jairus was probably heartbroken, but Jesus told him this:

(Mark 5:35–36 NKJV)  While He was still speaking, some came from the ruler of the synagogue's house who said, "Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the Teacher any further?" As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, He said to the ruler of the synagogue, "Do not be afraid; only believe."

"Do not be afraid; only believe." David said it this way:

(Psalm 27:13 NKJV)  I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD In the land of the living.

Those who believe are about to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living once again.

You can pray this with me if you like:

Prayer: Heavenly Father, I thank You today for the good life You have given me. "Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!" I want to serve You with all my heart. Please give me a clear vision of what You have in store for me. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen!
