Getting into prayer, God spoke to me in regards to what he wanted me to do with my life. God told me that I would travel around the world and minister. This word came to me at a young age. Not really understanding how to do this, or what steps I should take, I told the Lord, my life is yours and I would give it to you.
With that, I sold everything I had, I quit my job, the house we were renting, I left that place and bought a travel trailer with a vehicle ready to tow it. And I sat there waiting for the Lord to tell me where to go first. I got into prayer seeking God. Still nothing came to me. Time begin to pass and I thought, maybe that was not God that spoke to me.
As life begin to happen, years passed along. Many things happened in my life that changed me, transformed me, caused me to study and pray more, causing me to learn the importance of submission to authority. Learning the importance of teaching the word of God. Whereas if I had left many many years before, I would not have been ready.
Having spent more than 10 years in ministry at a local church in Oklahoma, I felt in my heart that I was getting closer than ever before to step out and minister like the Lord had previously spoken to me about. Matter of fact, God reminded me about this call to minister again while at a conference out of state. I spoke in prayer to God, I am ready to step out and fulfill the call that you given to me many years ago. I heard the words of God plainly saying, “Wait”. Little did I know, I was not quit ready just yet.
After the word spoken to wait, a friend came up to me and said, “Bro Daniel, I don’t understand it, but God said to wait.” Then we had a visiting pastor from Lawton who preached a powerful message at our church, walked up to me after altar service was completed and said, “Brother, God says for you to wait.”
Within a few weeks, I find out something that changed my life. Feeling a pain that felt as though my heart was ripped from my chest. Not only did this happen, but the it seemed that time begin to stand still as I walked through this time of my life alone. My mind was warring against the flesh. I wanted to take this pain out of my chest and put it out of my life. And this is where this song came into my life and helped me so much. I would go to sleep at night and cry.. I would cry through the day.. on the job.. in the car.. and yet.. God said to wait.. so I have been waiting knowing that GOD knows how to get me through and take me beyond where I am at.
