So many times, you hear people speaking about the Lord with this wish or worldly hope [not Bible hope]: " I am waiting on God". All through the Word   - the Bible IS clearly the other way around. The Lord is simply that the Lord of the NOW, but we are hung up in the past or waiting on the future! We are to have “NOW” since it’s from a “NOW” God! I encourage you today to start seeing God as the God of the Now, and expecting Him to become an active part of your daily life! There is no better time than “NOW”!

Text: *Gen. 2:1-5 & 7 & John 19:28-30 – “NOW” because of the finished work of the Cross the Old Covenant has been finished and “NOW” we are living in and from the New! Just as in Genesis 1 even in the midst of darkness the Lord by His Spirit was moving! Stop letting the devil rob your time on the earth He does this by making us think we got to twist God's arm to get Him to do something! God is ready to reveal to us what He has already completed (yes in us) if we will get in agreement and alignment!

                                                                    #1 MOVE

*Read Gen. 12:1-4 - Do you think that just one day the Lord decided oh I almost forgot, I need to tell Abram to move? Read Genesis chapter 11! Abram was NOT waiting on God rather God was waiting on Abram.

 See Gen. 26:22 – “NOW moving to Isaac we see the same misunderstanding God made room and blessed 120 years earlier with Abram!”

                                                 #2 LIBERTY

*Read *2 Cor. 3:17 – “LIBERTY” = “FREEDOM – to live as a citizen” See John 14:16-17 – NOW you have liberty by the Word and not a failing feeling! Start taking the Lord at His Word and as you agree and align with the revelation of what the Lord has for you in His covenant will become yours!

                                                       #3 NOT in VAIN

Read 2 Cor. 6:1-2 – “VAIN” (ken-os’) = EMPTY. “NOW” is the favorable KAIROS moment of SOTERIA = rescue, safety & health!

See “IMMEDIATELY” – Matt. 8:3, Matt.14:31, Matthew 20:34, Mark 1:31, Mark 2:12, Luke 8:44 & 13:13.

Illustration: #1. In each day there are 24 hours, 1,440 minutes, and 86,400 seconds-and every one of them is a precious gift from God. Time is something we feel we never have enough of, yet we give it away so easily. Someone once said, “Time is free, but it’s priceless. You can’t own it, but you can use it. You can’t keep it, but you can spend it. Once you’ve lost it you can never get it back.” Someone once observed that a wasted life is really nothing more than a collection of wasted days. As God gives us life, each one of us starts the new year with the same number of opportunities—365—that we can choose to either use and invest in eternal things or allow to drift by without taking advantage of the gift we have been given. The difference between those who succeed and those who fail is not found primarily in talent but in diligence and effort.
