How to Wait Upon the Lord
for your Breakthrough
Pastor Lee McFarlandPastor Lee McFarland
“But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their
strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles…
Isa. 40:31
“…they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not be faint.”
Isa. 40:31
HOW TO DO“WAIT
TRAINING”
1. If I wait courageously, God will strengthen me.
“Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and he shall
strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord!”
Psalm 27:14
2. If I wait patiently God will rescue me.
“I waited patiently for the Lord; and He inclined to
me, and heard my cry…”Psalm 40:1-
2
“… He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, out of miry clay, and set my feet
upon a rock, and established my steps.”
Psalm 40:1-2
3. If I wait Silently, God will defend me.
“Truly my soul wait for God; from Him comes my salvation; He is my defense; I shall not be
greatly moved.”
Psalm 62:1-2 (NKJV)
4. If I wait full of Hope and Expectation, God will be good to me.
“The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks Him…”
Lamentations 3:25-26
“… It is good that one should hope and wait
quietly for the salvation of the Lord.”
Lamentations 3:25-26
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I WAIT
ON THE LORD?
1. A BIGGER answer to my prayer.
The waiting: “Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus…”
John 11:5-6
“…So when he heard that Lazarus was sick,
he stayed where he was two more days.””
John 11:5-6
The BIGGER miracle: “When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, ‘Lazarus, come
out!’ The dead man came out…
John 11:43-44
“…his hands and feet wrapped with strips of
linen, and a cloth around his face. Jesus said to
them, ‘Take off the grave clothes and let him go.’”
John 11:43-44
2. A SUDDEN answer to my prayer.
The waiting: “The chief cupbearer, however, did not remember Joseph;
he forgot him…”
Genesis 40:23
“…When two full years had passed, Pharaoh
had a dream…”
Genesis 41:1
A SUDDEN miracle: “So Pharaoh sent for Joseph, and he was QUICKLY brought from
the dungeon...” Genesis 41:14
“… When he had shaved and changed his clothes,
he came before Pharaoh...”
Genesis 41:14
3. An ACCELERATED
answer to my prayer.
The waiting: “When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to him,
‘They have no wine…” John 2:3-4
“… And Jesus said to her, ‘Woman, what does this have to do with me? My hour has
not yet come.’” John 2:3-4
An ACCELERATED miracle:
“When the master of the feast tasted the water
now become wine...” John 2:9a-10
“...he said to him, ‘Every serves the good wine first, and when people have drunk freely, then
the poor wine…” John 2:9a-10
“… But you have kept the good wine until now.”
John 2:9a-10
WHEN WE TRY TO ACCELERATE –
THEN GOD WAITS.
WHEN WE WAIT – THEN GOD
ACCELERATES.
