Yes yes. With His help I am making this a lifestyle that honours Him!
Yes, of course, but waiting is acting upon what the spirit shows us to do, then praying for the opportunity which sometimes is immediate and sometimes later. I always ask the Lord to go before me and make the way, especially when it comes to saying something He wants me to say. If He tells me to go, I go right away, like witnessing to a Muslim woman the other day. When I approached her, I knew what to say because I had prayed. At other times I had rushed in like a bull in a china cabinet, anxious that I needed to say what He put on my heart right away. Just recently God put it on my heart to tell a friend something that was very sensitive. I didn’t call her immediately, but had a peace to wait when we had lunch that week. Then I prayed during our conversation for God to prompt me when to mention the subject. When we were about to leave our table, she mentioned the very thing I was to speak to her about and how someone was offended by what she had to say. This was the perfect setting, and when I spoke she didn’t agree but did listen and was not at all offended. I believe waiting means to always be attentive to the Father’s voice ,praying and then acting, accordingly. I agree with you, there are times we are to act “immediately”, but the confirmation of peace is there at those times as well. (Philippians 4: 6-7. Hope this helps. Thanks for your comment.

Yes yes Mary. Also there could be times when we need to act and there is no time to wait. But if we live in His presence His words will flow from Him to us and it will bring Him glory. I have had instances where this has happened and knew those words that I spoke were pleasing to the Lord. Mary would you agree?
