Perhaps the Lord lingers until all efforts of the flesh are dead and in the grave.
Jesus did not heal Lazarus while the flesh was alive, but lingered until only the hand of God could reach down and raise him from the grave. Lord, we believe in Your resurrection power.
Lord God Almighty, Lord of Hosts, Lord of Mercy and Grace, we ask that You intervene to manifest Your power and glory. Deliver us from evil.
May this present gentile age of Grace end with victory, and the Bride of Christ glowing brightly. May she rise from the earth to take the hand of her Groom, leaving behind evidences of her anointed presence – the fruit of multitudes of salvations, healings, hope, and the demonstration of the love of Christ in the world.
