Summary
Bishop Henry Fernandez explores why God's timing often differs from our own, encouraging believers to trade frustration for trust because God's delays are purposeful preparation for his perfect promises.
Key points
- •God is not subject to human time; He controls and permits everything in His sovereign timing.
- •Delay does not mean denial; what seems like slowness to us is often God's patience and perfect scheduling.
- •Rushing ahead of God leads to irrational decisions and frustration, while waiting allows God to develop our character for the blessing.
- •Human plans must be submitted to God's direction because He knows what is required for us to handle future responsibilities.
- •The promise (revelation) has an appointed time; it will not prove false if we refuse to give up during the wait.

Life application
Identify one area where you feel frustrated by God's delay and consciously choose to stop trying to 'adjust' the schedule. This week, pray for the strength to master your current season rather than rushing into the next one.
Reflection questions
- In what ways have you tried to force a blessing to happen prematurely in the past?
- How does the truth that God is 'perfect in all His ways' change your perspective on your current 'waiting room'?
- Are there practical skills or character traits (like patience or stewardship) that God might be developing in you right now?
- How can you tell the difference between a plan born in your heart and a step directed by the Lord?

1:44big and important here
1:46something that a lot of people are
1:49struggling with
1:51so let's see if you can connect with
1:53this
1:55it has something to do with timing
1:57timing
1:59understanding god's
2:03timing that's the difficult one
2:08understanding god's timing and not our
2:11timing
2:13you know trying to figure out god what
2:15are you doing
2:17you know i thought you were going to fix
2:18that long time
2:20you know have you ever prayed for
2:21something and
2:23had the faith that god was going to do
2:25it
2:26and it's been a year it's been two years
2:29it's been five years
2:30and you're still praying you know that
2:33he would do it and you're still waiting
2:35well let's see if we can understand
2:38god's time in here
2:40understanding god's timing will
2:43definitely
2:45alleviate some of the stress
2:48and frustration you go through while
2:50waiting on god to respond to you
2:54that when you understand his timing
2:56somehow
2:58you'd avoid some of the unnecessary
3:00stress and frustration you put on
3:02yourself
3:04if you ever get to understand what he's
3:06up to
3:07and why he has delayed your blessing you
3:10see
3:11your blessings being delayed doesn't
3:14mean it's denied
3:17it's all about god's timing
3:20and your faith journey and your
3:23christian walk can be
3:25so much better and more fulfilling
3:29if you could just understand that hey
3:32you know the timing of god is always
3:35perfect even when you don't think that
3:38way
3:40and by the way none of your
3:43venting will ever intimidate or force
3:47god to change his mind
3:49concerning his sovereign will over your
3:52life
3:53not one you can vent all you want
3:56you know and beg and complain
4:00and argue and get frustrated but that's
4:02not going to change the plan of god
4:04over your life so please don't ever
4:07forget that god
4:09controls and permits everything
4:12that happens on the earth yes he does
4:17he controls and permits everything
4:20that's happening in the earth
4:22he controls the timing of it so to you
4:26you may think oh well it wasn't god's
4:29time and we've said that over and over
4:30well this wasn't god's time listen
4:33nothing will
4:34ever cut god off guard if you will
4:38nothing nothing will ever surprise him
4:42he's in full control of everything
4:45in the earth and you need to understand
4:48that
4:49timing cannot control god instead
4:53he controls time
4:58you know it don't it could be ten years
5:02of waiting that doesn't bother god
5:05he's in control of time so he's not
5:09worried about okay
5:10the world looked like it's going crazy
5:13and
5:14and some people have already calculated
5:16that jesus is coming in 2020
5:19because of corona you know
5:22and and we're trying to tell god what to
5:25do and no man according to the scripture
5:27no man knows
5:28knows the day nor the hour that god will
5:31return
5:32look at what ii peter chapter
5:35three two verses if you've got your
5:37bible please pull it out let's read it
5:40it says here but do not forget this one
5:42thing
5:43dear friend with the lord a day
5:46is like a thousand years
5:50and a thousand years are like one day
5:55see when it comes to god makes no
5:57difference one day could be like a
5:58thousand years for him
6:00and a thousand years can be one day for
6:02him why because
6:03time cannot control god he controls time
6:06now for us
6:08one day is one day it's 24 hours
6:11see we clock time you know
6:15god controls time and then verse 9
6:19the lord is not slow in keeping his
6:22promises
6:23i want that to sink in please get that
6:26because for those of you
6:27who are questioning god and you're
6:29frustrated
6:30because he's just taking too long to do
6:32your stuff
6:34maybe it's taken too long to heal you
6:36you've prayed about it and you're still
6:38struggling with that sickness you're
6:40still you know and you're wondering why
6:42and so forth
6:43and as long as you've done your part you
6:46know as long as you've done your part
6:47man
6:48right then then you pray you know you
6:50said henry what are you talking about so
6:52for example
6:53if you've got um let's say um
6:57even hypertension you know your blood
6:59pressure's out of whack and so forth
7:02you could be praying to god say god heal
7:04me i want my blood pressure to be
7:07uh normal and so forth you could do that
7:10but at the same time you're wearing
7:11yourself you're stressing yourself
7:13you're panicking you're
7:14fretting over everything you're not
7:16helping yourself
7:17in fact you're delaying your blessing
7:20don't stress over nothing
7:22you know don't do that now if the
7:25doctors say you know your cholesterol is
7:27up it's high
7:28and and so forth and you know of course
7:31you pray
7:31that you know god's going to bring it
7:33down but you can't be eating fried
7:35chicken at two o'clock in the morning
7:38come on now you're just canceling out
7:40your blessing
7:42you can't be at 10 o'clock at night
7:44sitting down at one of these
7:47restaurants having fried chicken and
7:50waffles
7:51and syrup you can't be doing that
7:56you're just hurting yourself you're
7:58stressing yourself
7:59out because you're praying okay god i
8:02want you to heal me
8:03and you're delaying your blessing
8:05because you're not doing what is right
8:07and the word of god says here peter said
8:09the lord is not slow
8:10in keeping his promises and and some of
8:13you are disagreeing with peter right
8:14here
8:15he's saying god's not slow but you're
8:17saying but he is because i've been
8:19waiting
8:20but he's not slow here's the reason why
8:23because
8:24you got your time clock go in
8:27and unfortunately it doesn't matches
8:30god's time clock he's not going after
8:34your time clock
8:35i know you said god by the time i
8:39am 30 by the time i'm 35
8:43i need to get married that's what you
8:45did
8:47and every year come december new year's
8:50resolution
8:51you're like god hey
8:54clock is going hey i'm not married yet
8:58and you're frustrating yourself and
8:59you're saying god is taking long
9:01well peter says god's not slow and keep
9:05in his promises
9:07it's not slow in keeping the promises
9:09that he's made to you
9:11because he has already put those
9:14promises
9:15on the calendar in time
9:20and if you could just understand that
9:22god god's timing
9:24is completely different from yours then
9:26you won't be stressed out
9:28and then he says here's here he says
9:31here the lord is not
9:32slow in keeping this promise
9:35as some understand slowness
9:39wow god's slowness
9:43to you is not the slowness
9:46that we think that's what it says
9:50we must understand that what you think
9:53may be
9:54slow is not slow
9:57it's the perfect timing of god
10:00so if i say i need you to be here eight
10:02o'clock
10:03and you're not here you get here say
10:05nine o'clock you were a little bit slow
10:08that's it but if god says i want you to
10:12be here
10:13he sets the schedule he sets the
10:17schedule you can't you can't go around
10:18that
10:20instead he says he is patient with you
10:25not wanting anyone to perish but
10:27everyone to come to repentance
10:31so i think our problem with god taking
10:34too long
10:35to respond to us is we keep making
10:38our own plans and then schedule them
10:43without first consulting god
10:46it's a problem you see what we do we
10:49have our schedules
10:50you know we say god we want this you
10:53know i want to get this by
10:54this age i want to do this and so forth
10:57you know and
10:58and here it is you know you didn't
11:01consult him
11:02okay because you know he you know you
11:05may say
11:06okay 2020 is your year for whatever
11:09you're declaring
11:10okay it's wonderful and you know there
11:12are some things you got to remember this
11:14always ask god for what he has for you
11:17in that season always
11:22because 2020 is the year of uncommon
11:24opportunities so there are opportunities
11:26in this year for you but there's some
11:29other
11:29stuff that god is saying you're not
11:32going to get it in 2020.
11:34now you can fast you can pray you can
11:37even try to go get it prematurely
11:39but you're not going to get it because
11:42that's not according to his schedule
11:44look at proverbs 16 verse nine
11:49and this will confirm what i just said a
11:52man's heart
11:53plans his way but the lord
11:57directs his steps now that's good
12:01a man's heart plans
12:04his way see that's what we do all the
12:07time
12:08we always planning our way we always
12:11trying to say lord you know
12:12i'm going to plan this out i'm going to
12:14do whatever i want to do
12:16you know and so forth we're always
12:17planning always planning everybody's got
12:19a plan
12:20everybody's got a plan you got a plan
12:22man you got to plan what you're going to
12:24do
12:24this year and some of you the reason why
12:26you're panicking because
12:28corona messed up your plan
12:31i mean completely messed up all of your
12:34plans
12:35now you're mad now you think god
12:37abandoned you now you think
12:39even blaming fernandez because he
12:41fernandez was the one standing on this
12:43stage
12:44december 31st and he opened his mouth
12:47and declared that this is the year of
12:48uncommon opportunities
12:50and january was good and you were
12:52excited and you were
12:53glad that january produced greatness and
12:56you know
12:56things were fine february man it was a
12:59love month and everything was going good
13:01and and and perhaps you met your person
13:04who you
13:04say i'm in love with and you sure enough
13:06you know by june you're gonna marry that
13:08person
13:10and there comes this virus and you're
13:13like
13:13wait a minute i thought this was my year
13:16of victory
13:18i thought this was my year of me to have
13:20a peaceful year
13:21no drama and who lied to you
13:25lied to you just because you're a
13:26christian you're not going to have drama
13:30don't you know and i know some of you're
13:31not going to receive this don't you know
13:32by virtue of you being a christian you
13:34attract
13:35drama that's it
13:39because the enemy will come at you
13:42because you're on the right track
13:44so he's going to come and he's going to
13:45target you he's going to attack you he's
13:47going to do some stuff man to get at you
13:49but you've got to be strong man
13:53finally be strong in the lord in the
13:56power of his
13:57might not your own strength when you
14:00understand the timing of god
14:01you hang on in there man even though you
14:05plan
14:05the bible says a man's heart plans his
14:08way
14:09but the lord directs his
14:12steps so even though you have your plans
14:16just let the lord give you direction
14:20how can you go wrong with that because
14:23you see
14:24as you plan you'll find out that as the
14:26lord is leading you he's saying uh-uh
14:28that's not
14:30that's not for you right now that's not
14:33for you right now okay you know what i
14:34got that for you but it's going to be in
14:36december
14:37it's going to be in 2021 it's going to
14:39be in 2022.
14:40you know i got you that's really what
14:44he's saying here
14:45so you really want to know why the wait
14:49is so long for so many of us when it
14:51comes to the things we want you really
14:53want to know why
14:55it is because our plans are not always
14:58directed by god
15:00there are some things that we we have to
15:02admit it and i know we don't want to
15:04admit it
15:04but there are some things that we're
15:06claiming that doesn't belong to us
15:11hello we're claiming some things
15:15and they don't belong to us it's not in
15:18the will of god
15:19or it may be in the will of god but god
15:22is saying
15:23wrong timing wrong timing

17:37he better go to popeyes
17:40come on now god's trying to teach you
17:44some
17:44i remember i remember as a young pastor
17:48there were so many things i was claiming
17:50from god god i want this you know
17:51because you know
17:52and sometimes you know you look in
17:54television you look at other people and
17:56it's in all of us you know you're like
17:57oh not that you covet
17:59what they've got but you're like okay i
18:01would love to have that and so forth and
18:02god had to humble me one day said hey in
18:04due season son
18:07you you know what you can't pastor a 3
18:11000
18:11member church if you can't master 300
18:15people
18:16if you're losing your mind if you're
18:19about to
18:21hurt somebody in the flock because you
18:24can't handle the pressure of leadership
18:26with 300 people how are you going to
18:28handle 3 000
18:30because the scripture says to whom much
18:32is given
18:34much is required some of you are
18:36impatient with god because you want to
18:38get rich
18:39quick nothing wrong with that i want
18:41money i want to buy this i want to
18:42that's okay that's wonderful and hustle
18:44do what you got to do to make it
18:46but be careful that you don't consume
18:49your life to make it so big
18:51that you miss the teachable moments
18:53because i'm learning
18:56to whom much is given much is required
18:58so
18:59learn to master that two thousand
19:01dollars a month that five thousand
19:02dollars a month
19:04ten thousand dollars a month so that
19:06when a million dollars a month comes in
19:09come on now you know how to handle it
19:12the timing of god
19:14are you with me now it's all about the
19:16timing of god
19:18so you really really need to
19:22get that in your spirit and stop being
19:23anxious
19:25stop being anxious they really want to
19:28know why
19:30why i said it right there why people
19:34panic and to get frustrated
19:38it's because their plans are not
19:41directed by god
19:43and failure to wait on god will result
19:45in you making
19:47irrational decisions
19:50you'll make a whole lot of bad decisions
19:52when you rush with god how many of you
19:54can be honest you're on social media

20:28will of god
20:30so i ask that you wait on the lord
20:33and he will let every godly desire
20:38play itself out perfectly on the
20:40calendar
20:42did you catch that wait on the lord
20:46and he will let every godly
20:49thing that's things that
20:52are in compliance with his word and his
20:54will for your life
20:56he'll let those things play out
20:58perfectly
21:00in due season on the calendar
21:03that's it but you have to be patient
21:06and you have to wait on the lord look at
21:09what
21:10habakkuk 2 verse 3 says
21:13and i love this translation the
21:17niv it says for the revelation
21:20waits an appointed time
21:23revelation the revealed word of god
21:27the answers that you're looking for so
21:29this revelation
21:31is not a revelation of the coming of the
21:33lord jesus christ
21:34this is a revelation of the will of god
21:38for your life for the revelation awaits
21:41an appointed time did you catch that the
21:44revelation
21:46waits an appointed time you just can't
21:48speak it grab it and claim it
21:52that's why people are frustrated in the
21:54faith and especially the charismatic
21:56word of faith
21:58evangelical movement
22:01because we we have radicalized
22:04the scripture and that's why people get
22:07frustrated and sometimes the unchurched
22:09people
22:10you know we think they're stupid they're
22:11not stupid even though yes they need to
22:13have a renewed mind to understand the
22:14word of god
22:15but but listen thank you holy spirit
22:19you don't have to be saved to read the
22:21word of god to understand it
22:24the only reason why you got converted is
22:26because you read the word
22:28and some of these unsaved people they're
22:30reading the word
22:31and they understand it but when they
22:33look at what we practice and what we do
22:36they're like
22:36that ain't the word that's not what i
22:39read
22:40that's not what the bible says because
22:42the revelation waits for an appointed
22:44time
22:44it's not about okay there it is
22:48god i claim it in jesus name and it must
22:51reveal itself
22:52right now right now that's why i'm
22:55kind of careful to when i pray because
22:57it sounds good i know you know i grew up
23:00pentecostal so i understand i i have to
23:03be careful you know you're going
23:04i command this
23:08in my life in the name of jesus i
23:10command
23:11ten thousand dollars to show up in my
23:13bank account by
23:1512 noon tomorrow in the name of jesus i
23:17command i i
23:18bind it now in the name of jesus i bind
23:21every spirit of lack in mullet
23:23and you command it and you now
23:29and 24 hours later
23:33five months later one year later
23:36we depressed because you know
23:40things ain't happening for the
23:43revelation waits for an appointed time
23:45it speaks at the end there it is
23:50the revelation waits for an appointed
23:52time but it will
23:53speak in the end
23:57it will speak it will manifest itself
23:59did you get that
24:01it will speak glory to god hallelujah
24:05that will make you shout it will speak
24:08of the end and will not prove false
24:13that when god reveal his perfect will in
24:16his
24:16perfect time can't
24:20be fake it will speak in the end
24:24the glory of god the power the promises
24:27of god
24:28will speak in the end if you allow it
24:32to so let me give you three things
24:35to always remember when
24:39you are waiting on god
24:42you're waiting on god three things grab
24:44your pen write it down
24:46man these three things will help you
24:49remember these three things
24:51when you're waiting on god number one
24:53your schedule is not his schedule
24:57there it is your schedule is not his
25:00schedule so don't worry about it don't
25:02know
25:02okay if you've been praying about
25:04something you fasted
25:06you got 25 people to back you up you
25:08fasted 30 days and so forth and it
25:11didn't happen your day
25:12your schedule is not his schedule
25:15number two never adjust his
25:19schedule never
25:22in other words don't force things
25:25don't go out and get things prematurely
25:29or do things
25:30prematurely because you cannot alter the
25:33timing of god
25:34never adjust it never try to change it
25:39never try to do that okay you can't do
25:42it
25:43it's not like when we change our clocks
25:44during the seasons you know
25:46one hour forward or one hour backward
25:49whatever
25:50you can't do that when it comes to god
25:53you gotta leave
25:54his schedule alone number three
25:57accept his schedule just just accept it
26:01you may not like it but they that wait
26:04upon the lord
26:05shall gain strength you may not like it
26:08so what are you waiting on
26:10what are you waiting on right now okay
26:12just accept
26:13the schedule of god that's number three
26:16that
26:16god god's got it all under control
26:19number two never adjust his schedule and
26:21number three
26:22your schedule number one i should say
26:24your schedule is not his schedule
26:27so don't don't don't panic don't panic i
26:31understand
26:32you know i i feel the vibes i know some
26:34of you is like oh jesus i logged on the
26:36wrong wednesday man
26:38i thought fernandez was going to come
26:39with something better than that man i
26:41thought he was going to tell me my
26:43time is tomorrow i thought he was going
26:46to tell me it's your time
26:48i thought he was just going to speak the
26:49word and just
26:52blow on me through the tv and through
26:54the internet and so forth
26:55and there it is i'm gonna get it and
26:57this man coming up here telling me
26:59i got to wait that that god's schedule
27:02is not my schedule and
27:04and and never adjust his schedule and
27:07accept his schedule and
27:11yeah yeah you have to do that
27:15because you got to remember what
27:17ecclesiastes
27:183 verse 1 says
27:21there's a time for everything
27:25and it's true there's a time for
27:28everything
27:28we are shocked by this pandemic
27:32but but did you know that before
27:35before god stepped out
27:39of his world and stepped into
27:42nothing and there was nothing there the
27:45earth was without form and void
27:47do you not know that when god stood up
27:50and he spoke light into the darkness
27:54that even then god knew in 2020
27:58there was going to be a virus that was
27:59going to shut the world down
28:03he had it on the calendar and nobody
28:06could change it
28:07not even the devil could change it
28:11he knew so when stuff is happening to
28:14you
28:14rather than getting frustrated and angry
28:17and bitter
28:18and and sometimes getting kind of ticked
28:20off at god
28:22angry you don't pray as you should
28:24because you're kind of mad because you
28:25know some of you got an attitude
28:27you know when you're mad about something
28:28you don't speak you don't talk so just
28:30the same way
28:31you treat your spouse you treat people
28:33same way you usually get up early in the
28:35morning and pray you don't pray no more
28:36because god's taking too long so i'm
28:38gonna pray today
28:40right you don't even stream that much
28:43you don't go to church when things are
28:45bad you know you just
28:46forget it now you're blaming the church
28:49the pastor you're blaming everybody
28:51because stuff ain't working for you
28:52because you set your own
28:54schedule when when when god is saying no
28:58it will speak in due season it won't lie
29:02in the end
29:03because there is a time for
29:06everything and a season for every watch
29:09this
29:10activity under the heavens
29:14there's a time for every activity
29:16everything so why are we
29:18trying to rush god and when we don't
29:21have it our way
29:22like i think it's burger king we get mad
29:27come on now you can't do that you got to
29:30learn to trust god
29:31you've got to learn to trust him
29:34so finally a person who keeps
29:38rushing to adjust god's timing
29:41will always end up frustrated
29:45and will miss out on the blessings
29:48that are assigned to them
29:52that's it a person who keeps rushing
29:57trying to okay let me adjust god's
29:59timing okay
30:00let me try to figure out how i can make
30:02stuff happen for me
30:04and so forth you're gonna miss out on
30:06god how do i know that let's look at
30:08galatians
30:096 verse 9.
30:12and you know this this passage of
30:15scripture
30:16ministered to me when i was studying it
30:18did
30:20and and i pray to god that that it will
30:22do the same for you
30:24i mean when you look at it it says
30:27let us not become wary in
30:30doing good wow don't become
30:34exhausted tired frustrated
30:37when you know you are doing good
30:41that's the key when you do good
30:45don't be frustrated when you know you're
30:49on the right
30:50path and you're doing it according to
30:51god's will don't get frustrated
30:56because it says here let us not become
30:58weary in
30:59doing good for at the proper
31:02time at the proper time god's time in
31:07at the proper time we will reap
31:10a harvest if we do not give
31:13up wow at the proper time so
31:17maybe what we should be doing in this
31:18season of our lives
31:20is to ask god for his time the proper
31:23time
31:25pray about everything but worry about
31:27nothing
31:29and say lord at the proper time
31:32i know you will heal me i know you will
31:35prosper me
31:37i know you would touch my family i know
31:40you would touch my business
31:42i know you would get me out of this
31:45financial dilemma
31:48i know you're going to straighten out
31:49all this chaos in america
31:53i know you're going to do that god
31:55because the righteous we're praying
31:58i know you're going to do that god i
32:01know you're going to touch my
32:02my children that walked out of your will
32:07i'm not going to get exhausted i did

32:12i brought them up in the fear of god i
32:14showed them the way
32:15to the best of my ability i lived the
32:17life before them so
32:19i'm not going to worry about it because
32:21i did good
32:22because you know at the proper time the
32:24prodigal will come home
32:27we'll come home i'm not going to argue
32:31there's a dispute and
32:33i know this person is is throwing dirt
32:37on me and i know this person is doing
32:38god
32:39no at the proper time
32:44you will free me at the proper time
32:48you'll bring truth to the forefront
32:53because i did good
32:57i did good i did good lord
33:01and as long as i'd do good
33:04you said i would reap a harvest if i
33:07don't give up

33:12cause you to let your faith
33:16expire because you've been waiting and
