The Set Time

Daily prophetic word 
The Appointed Time

"Yes, this is the set time, the time I have appointed for the vision of your heart to come to pass," says the Spirit.  "For what you cannot see, is the very thing that is already happening, so be devoted to the heavenly vision for your life, because the time for its manifestation is near."

Prophetic Scripture:
Habakkuk 2:3 - For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry ,wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.

The verse above in Habakkuk is an interesting play on words.  In one breath it says the vision will not tarry, but then it turns around and says even though it does tarry, keep waiting for it!  So truthfully, what is the Lord trying to say here?  The first thing to know, if we are going to understand it clearly, is that God always has an appointed time for things to come to pass in our lives.  Sometimes waiting for them is the hardest part and is why people get sidetracked and distracted from the promises they are standing upon.  The greatest example I can think of when it comes to waiting on God's timing for a promise was the promise of Jesus' coming to earth.  God spoke about it as early as the garden of Eden.  He used prophets all over the Old Testament to tell it, but Jesus didn't come until the appointed time, which was thousands of years later!  As desperate as the world was, there was still a set time.  Whatever the destiny for your life is, God has a set time for you also.  Once you know that, then you can begin by waiting for it.  On one side it will feel like it is delayed, but when you keep waiting for it with expectancy, then it will feel inside you as if it is already here!  The vision on one end can feel so far away, but on the other end, feel more real to you than anything.  You just know God has an appointed time, and while you are focused on that with expectant faith, then its reality is what speaks to you everyday and brings you and your promise closer together.  Wait for the vision that God has put in your heart, because in the end it will speak to you and lie not!  See your apointed time upon you today! 

Prayer:

Dear Lord, I thank You for the set time regarding everything You have promised in my life.  I position myself with new expectant faith right now.  I place my eyes on the time You have wonderfully appointed for me and refuse to say again, "why isn't it here?"  I say it will not tarry, but I will wait for it.  I thank You Lord that the vision and promise in my heart shall speak right now!  In Jesus' Name, Amen.
