BANANA FARMS AND BREAKING THE SPIRIT OF DELAY

A sister today emailed me about another prophetic website and I so happened to watch this short message titled 'Banana farms and breaking the spirit of delay' on 16 Nov 2015. This title caught my attention because it was very cute. What has banana farm got to go with the spirit of delay? Besides, I have been recently talking about how I sensed God is dealing with longstanding issues and He doesn't want any more delay in our lives. If not, why would He send the word through Pastor Joel about the year of acceleration, about how He is doing a quick work, speeding things up in our lives. That very word about acceleration was released to combat the spirit of delay.

The speaker, Paul Lackie was saying that in his recent trip to Philippines, he prophesied to this certain man that the spirit of delay is broken and there will be no more delay over his life. This man came up to Paul afterwards and said that very night, he got a phone call from home saying that someone wanted to buy his banana farm. He had this plantation listed for years but nothing happened. No one wanted to buy his farm and he had no real hope that it would ever happen but when this word of no more delay was spoken over him, it literally broke the spirit of delay. He sold his farm instantly!

Paul Lackie shared he sensed strongly that right now, God is breaking the spirit of delay in every area of our lives: our land, our property and even our families. Paul and his wife have been trying to have children for 7 years then all of a sudden without the help of any doctors, she got pregnant and their baby was born in last Dec! The spirit of delay, the spirit of barrenness was finally broken! (Again it was the seventh year that they got pregnant, just like that sister who got married for 7 years!)

Paul felt strongly that now is the appointed time, no more waiting! Believe the promises that God has spoken over your life and move forward like they already happened. If there is anything you are sitting on, waiting for God to break through, think of how you can take steps of faith to do what God has already said He will do. Get up and believe with your whole heart that delay is no more and the spirit of delay is broken. If there is a delay or things have slowed down and you still haven't gotten your breakthrough, he prophesied that delay is no more and the spirit of delay is broken in Jesus' name!

Wow! What a great encouragement, a tremendous boost to my faltering heart! God is really so spot-on and His word is really a NOW word. When I heard this word spoken over my life, I immediately received it and asked God to show me if there is any step of faith I can take to align myself with His word. I remembered how Pastor Joel said it is important to get our expectancy up to receive our miracle, to think like you got your miracle, to speak like you got your miracle and to act like you got your miracle! Praise the Lord that He has given His word about no more delay in this childbearing issue, that the spirit of delay has been broken and I am finally set free from this endless cycle of waiting! Praise Jesus!
