Why does God make people Wait (on the Wealth Transfer)? Teaching by Robert Morris on 10/17/23. See my summary, partial transcript, and video link below:
Summary:
Why does God make people wait? To build your Faith.
The reason God doesn’t give you the power before you’re ready, is because it would destroy you. God made Abraham and Sarah wait 25 years for the promise. They wouldn’t have been able to handle the promise, until they waited 25 years. And we know that, because 11 years into it, Sarah gives her maid to Abraham, to sleep with her maid, to try to accomplish the promise on their own.
If He gives you the Financial Blessing, before you’re Mature enough to handle it, it will ruin you. He knows that. So He’s making you Wait.

21:45 – Why does God make people wait?
22:45 – Sometimes He makes you wait because He’s God, and He knows more than you know. He’s all knowing… He’s doing it for your Good. He’s also making you wait to build your Faith…
23:30 – Hebrews 11:1 – Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
So faith is hope that you cannot see.
Romans 8:25 – …but if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.
Lamentations 3:26 – it is good that one should hope and wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord.
If you already have everything you want, then you actually have no hope. People that have everything, don’t hope for anything. That’s why you hear of a lot of people, that had a lot, committed suicide, because they lost all hope.
Why does God make us hope? He’s building our Faith…
25:45 – God’s giving you a promise. But you can’t handle the Promise yet.
He’s building His relationship with you, and your relationship with Him, so that when the Promise comes, you can handle it.
The reason God doesn’t give you the power before you’re ready, is because it would destroy you.
The reason God made the disciples wait 10 days, was so they would go deeper in their relationship with God through prayer. And they would get deep enough, that when the power of the Holy Spirit came, they’d be able to handle it.
26:45 – Abraham and Sarah – God made them wait 25 years for the promise. They wouldn’t have been able to handle the promise, until they waited 25 years.
And we know that, because 11 years into it, Sarah gives her maid to Abraham, to sleep with her maid, to try to accomplish the promise on their own. And Abraham agrees.
27:30 – We say things like God’s building our faith. Let’s say it a different way, He’s building your relationship with Him. He’s putting a depth in your life, so that when the promise comes, you have enough faith in Him, you can handle the promise. You won’t fail because the promise.
27:45 – And let’s just say it’s a business thing, where God’s going to bless you financially one day. But if He gives you the financial blessing, before you’re mature enough to handle it, it will ruin you. He knows that. So He’s making you wait.
28:10 – If he wasn’t going to give the promise to Abraham and Sarah, for 25 years. Why did he tell them, 25 years before? It seems a little mean to me. I mean, God if you’re not going to give us a child for 25 more years, tell us in 24. And God is saying no, it’s going to take you 25 years of knowing and waiting and hoping, to have enough maturity to handle this. So that’s one reason God waits. The second reason is because even though He doesn’t own a watch, His timing is always perfect.
29:00 – One day Abraham sends his servant to his brother’s household, to find a wife for his son Isaac. On the exact day that he sends his servant, his servant gets to a well, and Rebecca comes to the well on that day. If Isaac had been born 25 years before, Rebecca probably was not even born.
God knows. He’s got it planned out. He’s got your steps planned. He’s got every day of your life already planned for Perfection, for you.
31:10 – So Abraham has Isaac at the exact right time so Isaac can meet Rebecca. And Isaac and Rebecca have Jacob at the exact right time so Jacob can meet Rachel. And God does not open Rachel’s womb until it’s exactly the right time for her to have Joseph. And this continues all the way to a virgin named Mary.
