#738 - Healing Through the Word: Waiting on God’s Timing and Trusting His Sanctifying Work

Learning to rest in His timing, receive His Word, and walk in the healing power of truth.
We opened with prayer and reflection, thanking God for His faithfulness and the power of the previous message. We took time to express gratitude for His healing and spiritual renewal, acknowledging the freedom and restoration His Word brings. As we reflected on trusting God, we recognized how difficult it can be to recall past messages in the moment—but also how the Holy Spirit faithfully brings truth to remembrance at the perfect time.
Our discussion focused on waiting on God’s perfect timing, using the example of Abraham and Sarah as a reminder that impatience often leads to unnecessary trouble. We emphasized that the Holy Spirit stores up truth within us and reveals it when our hearts are ready to receive it. God’s provision is always perfect, and His timing is never late. We were encouraged to live out four simple but powerful words of counsel: be gentle, loving, kind, and patient.
We then explored Christ as the pattern for sanctification, learning that God’s conviction does not condemn but separates us from what harms us. The Spirit’s work in our lives is surgical—using the “sword of the Spirit” to divide self-conscious thinking from God-conscious living. We were reminded that spiritual growth is not about striving but about surrendering to the process of transformation through Christ’s example.
The meeting concluded with reflections on the healing and transforming power of God’s Word, referencing Hebrews 4 and Ephesians 5. We acknowledged how Scripture cuts through lies and restores the heart, and how approaching it prayerfully allows the Holy Spirit to work deeply within us. Just as 1 Thessalonians 2:13 says, the Word works effectively in those who believe. We prayed for continued healing, protection, and the joy that comes from abiding in His glory.
