Timely: from cursed clocks to wind-up dresses, clock imps to clocks with faces, here’s my collection of vintage timepieces.

When God feels slow, it’s tempting to interpret delay as distance. But what if what feels like slowness is actually divine patience? In this reflection, I explore how trusting God’s “fullness of time” shifts our faith from urgency to peace — and how His patience shapes both our character and our timing.

What if the Day of the Lord, the Second Coming, is not fixed?

Waiting for the Fullness of Time - the Day of the Lord

[thepopoptic]

In the beginning, God promised a Savior. He made good on that promise through Jesus Christ.

Born under the Law, he nailed the Law to his cross, taking it out of our way.

Today, we have redemption through faith alone in Christ's resurrection and reconciliation to the Father by adoption.

MOVING FORWARD

"Ho! Everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat. Yes, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price." -  Isaiah 55:1

And again, the Spirit of the Lord says: "And the Spirit and the bride say, 'Come!' And let him who hears say, 'Come!' And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely" (Revelation 22:17).

When the Bride becomes so mature, and we realize our union (oneness) and readiness with the Holy Spirit, we will say what the Spirit is saying – that is one word: "Come!" (Revelation 22:17b).

THE VALUE OF HUNGER AND INTIMACY

Those who are hungry and thirsty will be satisfied. It's time to drink the living water of life and begin to bear fruit that remains for His advancing Kingdom.  Creation is groaning and waiting for you to know your identity in Him (see Romans 8:19, 22). The maturity of the Bride in waiting is to cultivate the oil of intimacy with the Holy Spirit while we are waiting for His return. In the meantime, equip the Church body in:

Their Christ identity,

Their Right Standing with God, and

Walking in the Spirit,

so they can preach the Gospel with signs following – no excuses! Those who were the five wise virgins knew how to wait in intimacy (Matthew 25:2). It's a heart issue! We need to position ourselves to expect and receive the love of Jesus in our heart continuously so we can minister that love to others by discipling them into  their Christ identity. By doing this and walking in the Spirit we can experience the glory of His presence all the day long.

THE FULLNESS OF TIME

"But no one puts a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; for the patch pulls away from the garment, and a worse tear results" - Matthew 9:16

The word "patch" in Matthew 9:16 is the Greek word "pleroma," and it means filling up, fullness, fullness of time, supply, completion, patch. It is the same word used in Ephesians 1:10 - "that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth – in Him."

Allow the Lord to use you as an ambassador to release spiritual mandates and decrees so that He may activate angels to do His word and His bidding. These flames of fires and ministering spirit are ready to be released and to charge the front-lines of your battles.

The Lion of the tribe of Judah has roared. Those who hear and see beyond the thunder and lightning in His voice, hear and see the visions of His heart regarding the advancing of His Kingdom  -- have received a revelation of their CALLING in Christ Jesus.  There is acceleration in the glory. Move swiftly at the sound of Heaven and you shall be rewarded, as a son -- now.
