Pulling Down Strongholds (Part 4) – The Virtue of Waiting Upon the Lord
Description
Pastor Tim Travis explores the Christian concept of waiting on God’s timing as a means to overcome spiritual “strongholds.” Drawing heavily from Isaiah 30 and 40, as well as other biblical passages, Travis emphasizes that God operates on an eternal timeline, vastly different from humanity’s immediate desires. Travis identifies several reasons why waiting is necessary, including divine preparation (for individuals and circumstances), strengthening of faith, and God’s extension of grace for more people to find salvation. Pastor Travis also outlines practical actions for believers while waiting—remaining quiet, maintaining courage, enduring hardship, trusting God’s promises, and staying busy in purposeful service—while cautioning against common hindrances like the “lust of the flesh,” peer pressure, living solely for the “now,” and fear of missing out. Ultimately, Travis asserts that the results of such patient waiting are renewed internal strength, accomplished desires, peace, and deliverance from personal struggles, all aligning believers with God’s perfect plan.
