PNEUMA SPEAK — EPISODE 4

What If God Says Wait?

We live in a microwave generation.

We want everything fast—answers, opportunities, breakthroughs, direction. And sometimes we expect God to work on the same timeline.

But what happens when God says, “Wait”?

In this episode of Pneuma Speak, we talk about the uncomfortable reality of waiting on God. We look at the disciples in Acts 1, David, Joseph, and Jesus in Gethsemane—and what their stories teach us about trusting God when we don’t understand the timing.

Sometimes waiting isn’t punishment.

Sometimes it’s preparation.

Sometimes it’s protection.

And sometimes, waiting is simply an act of obedience.

We’ll also talk about the danger of getting ahead of God, comparing our journey to somebody else’s, and trying to manufacture something God hasn’t released.

Because waiting is not wasting.

And maybe the thing God is developing in your waiting season isn’t the circumstance…

maybe He’s developing you.

So if you’re asking, “God, when?”—this episode is for you.

Some things can’t be microwaved. Some things have to be developed slowly. And maybe… so do we.

What If God Says Go?

What happens when God gives you direction… but doesn’t give you the whole plan?

In Acts 8, Philip is in the middle of revival when God tells him to leave and go toward Gaza. He doesn’t know why. He doesn’t know who he’s going to meet. He doesn’t know what’s waiting for him on the road.

He simply knows one thing:

God said go.

In this episode of Pneuma Speak, we talk about what it means to obey God when you don’t have the whole map—and how sometimes God will redirect you from something good because He has something different ahead.

I also share part of our own story: how my wife and I were seeing revival and making plans for our future as evangelists, only for God to give us a completely different direction in one service.

Sometimes obedience means leaving something bad.

But sometimes obedience means surrendering something good because God is leading you somewhere else.

You may not understand the road.

You may not see the destination.

But you can trust the One who does.

You don’t need the whole map. You just need enough faith for the next step.

What do you do when you’ve prayed, you’ve waited, you’ve asked God for direction—and He seems silent?

In Episode 2 of Pneuma Speak, we turn to 1 Kings 19 and the story of Elijah, where God speaks not through the wind, earthquake, or fire, but through a still small voice.

Sometimes we expect God to speak through the dramatic, while He may be inviting us to slow down, get quiet, and listen.

We’ll talk about discerning God’s voice, trusting Him when we don’t have the whole map, and why we should never confuse God’s silence with God’s absence.

Maybe God isn’t silent.

Maybe He’s speaking differently than you expected.
