Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.” From the moment of salvation, we…
“But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” Isaiah 40:31 Lamentations 3:25 says, “The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.” We don’t like getting stuck in traffic jams or waiting in line at the grocery store…

Isaiah 55:11 says, “So shall my…
