Stephanie Ike: Hope in Your Waiting Season | FULL EPISODE | Better Together on TBN

I am typing this in tears. I have never watched this channel and am at a place in my life where I feel like everything is falling apart. When you said "for God so loved Sheila"(that's my name) that felt like God's assurance to me. I am still here trusting in Him. I will be back to testify in Jesus name Amen!

You can neither pray nor fast your way out of the waiting season ~Pst stephanie Ike I Was really blessed by the entire talk

Every Waiting season is tough but it’s comforting to know that at the end of that waiting season we will definitely receive the honor and blessing in waiting because there is always a fruit waiting for us at the end of our waiting season!!

After enduring a four- year period of unemployment, the prospect of an interview recently kindled a profound sense of hope within me. However, the elation was short-lived as, five days following the interview, I received an email conveying the unfortunate news that I was not the chosen candidate. In these trying times, I draw strength from words of Jeremiah 29:11, which remind me that God has a purpose and plan for my life, one filled with hope and promise. Likewise, the comforting message of Isaiah 60:22 assures me that, in due time, the Lord will orchestrate the fulfilment of His plans for me. My faith remains steadfast, and hope persists during this waiting season.

I really needed to hear this message. I'm in a season where I feel like the weights keep getting heavier and heavier, and feeling like God isn't responding to me through my tears. I felt like I was lacking in so many areas of my life, this is confirmation that God is still working, and he is still moving. I'm praying that everyone who comes across this comment feels the presence of God when it feels like nothing is moving.

I was meant to watch this. God has been telling me lately why things haven't moved forward for me. He said it's because I have to wait. He let me know He's acknowledged the fasts and heard the prayers and seen me endeavoring to get closer to Hom. But He said sometimes we just have to wait. This is so comforting, and it confirms what He's been telling me. I won't struggle against the current. Instead, I'll flow with it. Thank God for you ladies!

God give me ears to hear what I wouldn't hear without You and give me eyes to see what I would miss without You. In Jesus' name amen.

Surrendering to the season is a humbling experience. But I’ve learned so much during this time. Mainly to rely on God’s provision and not my own. It’s been hard but it’s been so rewarding spiritually.

I am currently in my waiting season and one thing God told me is that there is favor in the delay. I constantly remind Him of that word. One thing I have seen in this season is the growth of my faith. The other day in my Bible study I read Isaiah 49:23 that says "those who hope in me will not be disappointed. " So as we wait let's continue to focus on God's Word 🙏.

Currently experiencing a very difficult and looooong season! Never been thru anything like this before. Lord, help me to remember we are making pearls. It's currently been 3 years. 💜

Sometimes the waiting season can be very very difficult. The confusion etc is so uncomfortable. There are times i keep asking God if I need to do something different aside praying, confessing the word of God over my life, being positive minded cos i really don't understand my life anymore. But I'll forever trust in God because He is good even in my mistakes and confusion.

I cannot pray my way out of a season. I cannot fast my way out of a season. Get to a place of God is working something in me and surrender to the process. It’s not just what you are waiting for but who are you waiting wit. In that waiting season God is equipping me to look more like Him. This is so powerful. Thank you woman of God for this word. God owns this season.

I am waiting for three things God has promised me. The waiting is HARD. The challenging part is when the enemy keeps whispering in your ears that " are you sure you heard from God, do you think he will do it, maybe you have done something wrong. you are a sinner that is why God is not answering your prayers........." But through all these I know for sure that God is faithful and through the confusion and temptation of the enemy The Lord will give me a song in my dreams or in my waking time. A song He gave me recently was " the steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, His mercy never come to an end, they are new every morning , great is Thy faithfulness. God bless you ladies.

I went through a maddening season, moment, time of sheer hopelessness. To not hurt myself I went back to basics. Back home. Back to GOD. Back to HIS word. As if on cue HE led me to Romans 12:12: Rejoice in your confident hope. Be patient in trouble. Keep on praying. I wrote it down. I memorize it. I wash in it.

You can either choose to complain or trust God to hold you with His right hand and see you through the season of waiting....He is not a man to lie, He will not forsake and leave us, He promised. All things work for good, to them that love God❤

I am From Ethiopia . Oh I live right now in Santa Barbara. I came to United States as a refugee know it’s has been 17 years since I’ve been living here and California Santa Barbara. Your program is absolutely powerful. It is helping me with my life.thank you so much oh woman of God God bless you I really would like to share my story one day with you because growing up I did not have a Bible, but the story of the Bible literally is my life. Jesus Christ was a living water in my life the bridge of life when we didn’t have food in Ethiopia or not hot water. He was a water, the living water in my life I follow you every day, but I never written any comments the first time.

In my waiting (unemployment) I'm choosing to consistently appreciate every little blessing around me. Helps me focus less on what is wrong. I will not prolong my winter through complaining.thank you Stephanie

Nothing is wasted! Amen, thank you Lord🙏🏾🙌🏾

I didn't realise I was being impatient. I didn't realise it was my waiting season. Been frustrated forcing things and disliking people who do not belong in my life. I am sorry God. Whoever you have chosen for me, will not be able to stay away from me.. and vice versa- for your glory. Teach me to love you more than I love your promises.

I have learned to wait 😂on the LORD, knowing in my waiting He knows what is best for me always. Thank you, again so much, for sharing!!! GOD bless each one of you!!!
